One person: I wanted to give up, but my abilities wouldn't allow it.

"Okay, Lao Ma!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen could tell from the content of the conversation that...

Ma Xianhong is extremely self-confident and has an inflated sense of self-confidence.

His tone was full of self-righteousness, as if he thought he was being kind to me.

But it's not for my own good.

It's my opinion that's good, not yours.

Normally, Lin Chen wouldn't pay any attention to him.

However, his current target, Chen Duo, is in Biyou Village.

Ma Xianhong's invitation was a lucky accident, saving him a lot of trouble.

Qiu Rang stood to the side listening, and obviously overheard their conversation.

"Mr. Lin, please get ready, let's set off!"

Lin Chen nodded:

"OK, wait!"

One minute later.

Qiu Rang looked at Lin Chen, who had brought nothing but his phone, with some surprise:

"Mr. Lin, aren't you going to bring anything else?"

In his mind, people who follow the cult leader usually never come back.

You should bring more things.

Lin Chen looked down at himself, who was all alone, and frowned.

"Can't I just go in person? Do I have to bring a gift?"

"A gift?" Qiu Rang gave an awkward smile.

"No need! That's not what I meant. Let's go!"

After a few hours on a plane, a bus transfer, and finally an oxcart ride, we entered a small mountain village.

I must say, Biyou Village is nestled among mountains, with a beautiful environment and a strategic location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack—it's quite a good place.

Qiu Rang looked at the small mountain village in front of him with a look of pride in his eyes.

"Mr. Lin, how is it?"

"Isn't our Biyou Village nice?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly: "It suits its name perfectly!"

"Hahaha!"

Qiu Rang laughed heartily:

"Mr. Lin will definitely like it here after staying for a few days."

Lin Chen smiled but didn't say anything.

It's true that like boss, like subordinate; this grudge stems from someone as self-righteous as Ma Xianhong.

Night time.

The two walked into the village.

The village is situated on flat terrain and surrounded by mountains.

A winding stream runs through the entire village, providing water for the villagers.

The rice paddies, arranged in neat, square rows on both sides of the stream, are lush and green.

The whole village is full of a pristine, natural atmosphere.

In the rice paddies, you can often see farmers wearing straw hats, working hard.

When they saw Qiu Rang, they all greeted him with simple, genuine smiles.

"Chou Rang, the master is back!"

Qiu Rang responded to each question with a smile.

After walking for a while, the two encountered several villagers who raised pigs.

These people are clearly not good at raising pigs; the pigs they raise are all very thin.

Lin Chen wished the baby were here so he could help them…

Several people looked at Lin Chen curiously and couldn't help but ask:

"Is this someone who just joined the village?"

"Yes!" Qiu Rang replied.

"He is a new guest invited by the sect leader. Call him Master Lin Chen."

Upon hearing this title, the villagers looked at Lin Chen with envy.

Those who can become masters here are all of superior talent.

It is the goal that ordinary people like them pursue throughout their lives.

They admire and respect those with superior innate abilities, hoping to benefit from them and strengthen themselves.

"Master Lin Chen!"

"Master Lin Chen!"

The repeated address of "Master Lin Chen" pleased Lin Chen greatly.

No wonder Old Pig wanted to stay here.

After bidding farewell to the villagers, Lin Chen continued on his way with Qiu Rang.

In a small house not far away.

Smoke curls from the chimneys on the rooftops.

It was clear that many villagers were cooking.

Walked for a while.

Lin Chen saw Ma Xianhong, the village chief, standing in front of the small courtyard with his hands behind his back, dressed in white with white hair.

He was wearing a loose white shirt and white trousers.

In the gentle breeze.

His long white hair flew in the wind.

The white clothes fluttered in the wind.

The two red beauty marks under her eyes are somewhat alluring.

It gave him a somewhat otherworldly and ethereal air.

He looks somewhat like a guy surnamed Zhang.

When Ma Xianhong saw Lin Chen, he greeted him warmly with a smile:

"Brother Lin, you've finally arrived!"

"Hmm, this place is quite hard to find!"

"A paradise on earth, how can everyone see it? What do you think of my place, Brother Lin?"

Lin Chen: "..."

You've already described it as a paradise, so why are you asking me?

"Beautiful environment, fresh air, authentic taste, very good!"

"I'm glad you like it, Brother Lin!"

As he spoke, Ma Xianhong opened his arms, closed his eyes, and said:

"Come on, Brother Lin, learn from me and feel the fresh air here."

Lin Chen looked at his self-absorbed expression and took a deep breath.

It really does taste quite authentic; it even has the smell of chicken manure.

I wonder if we'll be able to have chicken tonight.

"Brother Lin, did you feel it?"

Doesn't the fresh air make you feel refreshed and as if you've entered a fairyland?

Ma Xianhong, with his eyes still closed, spoke with a look of rapture on his face.

Lin Chen's lips twitched:

"That's really nice! They're raising chickens in the village now, right?"

"Ok?"

Ma Xianhong let out a soft "hmm" and opened his eyes, seemingly puzzled as to why Lin Chen would say such a thing.

"Is there chicken for dinner?"

Ma Xianhong's expression was slightly blank, then he chuckled:

"So Brother Lin is hungry. It's all my fault for not thinking things through. After a long day of running around, he really should have dinner."

"I'll have someone prepare it right away!"

Half an hour later.

Qiu Rang led Lin Chen to a room that resembled a restaurant.

There was a large square table in the restaurant, on which various home-style dishes were already laid out.

Several people were already sitting there.

Seeing Qiu Rang leading Lin Chen over, everyone looked at Lin Chen with curiosity.

"Who is this? Did he just arrive in the village? Nobody here has seen him before."

"It seems that Master Qiu Rang personally came to greet him this afternoon."

"He looks so young, could he also be a master?"

"Probably so. Recently, the cult leader has recruited quite a few people, each of whom is a very powerful master..."

Lin Chen listened to their whispers.

It is speculated that the masters they were referring to were Chen Duo, Zhuge Qing, and Wang Ye.

This small village of Biyou is full of talented people.

Qiu Rang pointed to one of the seats and said:

"Mr. Lin, you can sit here. Dinner will be starting soon!"

Lin Chen nodded.

"This is a friend invited by the sect leader, named Lin Chen!"

Qiu Rang gave a brief introduction to Lin Chen.

The words fell.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Then, everyone started discussing it enthusiastically.

"Lin Chen? It seems the one who obtained the Tongtian Talisman at the Luotian Grand Ceremony was also named Lin Chen. Could it be him?"

"That's quite possible. The two friends that the sect leader invited before seem to be outstanding figures in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

Wow, to win the championship at such a young age, that's amazing!

"Is he going to live in our Biyou Village 593 from now on? I really want to learn a few tricks from him!"

"You... forget it!"
