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

"How is it impossible? Let me tell you, I have a friend whose uncle is one of the Ten Elders, and he told me this himself."

Holy crap! No way?!

Zhuge Qing's head was buzzing as he heard the whispers of the crowd.

What?

Has Lin Chen become one of the Ten Elders?

"You're surprised? There's more to come!"

"what?"

"Have you heard about the Wang family massacre a while ago?"

"Who wouldn't know that? The entire world of supernatural beings knows it!"

"Was it Lin Chen, who has now replaced Wang Bi, who did this?"

"Hiss~ Are you kidding me? You don't have a fever, do you?"

"How could I joke about something like this? It's true!"

"I still find it unbelievable. Please explain in detail!"

"I heard that Lin Chen turned himself in in this Wang family massacre case, and the Ten Elders held an emergency meeting because of it."

"The meeting was originally convened to deal with him, but who knew he would turn the tables and directly take a seat among the Ten Elders!"

"Holy crap, is that awesome?"

"Who says it's not?"

Zhuge Qing, hearing the heated discussion, was at a loss for words.

One moment they felt this was unreasonable, the next they felt it was something Lin Chen was capable of doing.

He smiled, somewhat helplessly:

"I just went into seclusion for a short while, but I didn't expect you to make such a big fuss as soon as I came out."

"Exterminate the entire Wang family? And then become one of the Ten Elders?"

Zhuge Qing couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"It seems like none of them are things I can do, at least not within ten years, maybe even eight years."

Zhuge Qing still found it somewhat unbelievable.

He took out his phone, found Wang Ye's number, and dialed it directly.

"Hey, Old Pig, you've come out of seclusion?"

Wang Ye's voice was languid, showing some surprise at how quickly he had emerged from seclusion.

Zhuge Qing hummed in agreement.

"I'm calling you because I heard something..."

"Is it about Old Lin becoming one of the Ten Elders?"

Before Zhuge Qing could finish speaking, the king also spoke.

"Yes, that's what I wanted to ask. Is it really true?"

On the other end of the phone.

Wang Ye poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you think?"

"I asked you that's precisely because I was unsure."

"When I first heard this news, I had the same reaction as you: I thought it was impossible, but it's true!"

Zhuge Qing's heavy breathing came from the other end of the phone.

"Why is this guy thinking of becoming one of the Ten Elders?"

"Based on my guess!" Wang Ye said lazily, "This guy didn't intend to sit in one of the Ten Elders' positions before going to the meeting; he just suddenly had this idea!"

hiss…

Zhuge Qing couldn't help but gasp.

"Others would fight tooth and nail to get a seat, but he just got one without even trying!"

"Isn't it enviable? I am too, but there's really no need. You and I are both objects of envy for others, so why envy others?"

"Too!"

Wang Ye laughed and said, "I feel that you've become much more open-minded since you came out of seclusion this time. You wouldn't have had such a broad mind before."

"Hey Lao Wang, I don't like hearing that. What do you mean I didn't have such a broad mind before? I've always had a broad mind, okay?"

"Yes, you are vast, you are incredibly vast, there is no one in the world more vast than you."

After Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye hung up the phone.

I couldn't help but call Lin Chen.

I should at least offer my congratulations!

The entrance of the villa.

Lin Chen and Xia He got out of the car.

Chen Duo, who had been quietly playing games inside, heard the noise and thought Lin Chen had returned.

He hurriedly put down his phone and went out to greet them.

Chen Duo was stunned when she saw Xia He holding Lin Chen's arm.

However, he did not show the slightest displeasure.

Chen Duo is the best girl!

Xia He greeted Chen Duo in a sarcastic tone.

Chen Duo didn't seem to mind.

In this world, there aren't many people she cares about. She just hopes Lin Chen won't talk to her like that.

When they received Zhuge Qing's call, the three of them were playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

Lin Chen stood by the window, listening to Zhuge Qing's incessant chatter, and said somewhat impatiently:

"Old Pig just went into seclusion for a bit, why are you being so long-winded? Don't disturb my game of Dou Dizhu!"

Dou Dizhu (a card game)?

Zhuge Qing was completely dumbfounded; he hadn't expected Lin Chen to play such a low-level game.

"Anyway, congratulations on your recovery! Let's get together sometime, add Lao Wang on the phone!"

"Okay, let's invite Bilian along too!"

Xia He, holding a hand of cards, was already getting impatient.

"Have you finished playing yet?"

"Right away!" Lin Chen said to Xia He, then spoke into the phone:

"It's okay, I'm hanging up now, I'm really busy!"

Zhuge Qing looked at the phone that had just been hung up and recalled the female voice he had just heard.

"Old Lin is really lucky with women! Wait... why did that voice just now sound so much like Xia He, the one who used the bone-scraping knife..."

"Holy crap... no way?"

He then thought of Chen Duo, the Gu-body Saint Child.

"If he could conquer Chen Duo, what's impossible for Xia He?"

"This old Lin is something else! He doesn't follow the usual path!"

The company can be reached anywhere.

Xu Si rubbed his messy hair; he'd been incredibly busy these past few days.

Lin Chen led the temporary workers to perform exceptionally well in the mission in Biyou Village, and he was very proud of himself.

But his joy lasted only two seconds before he heard that Ma Xianhong had been kidnapped.

Xu Si thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out who had such great ability to kidnap Ma Xianhong.

Just as he was racking his brains over this matter, he heard another bombshell.

Lin Chen, one of his subordinates, successfully secured a position as one of the Ten Elders.

A lifetime of "Holy crap!" wouldn't be enough to express his shock.

Xu Si paced back and forth in his office, thinking to himself, "How can I let one of the Ten Elders be my subordinate?"

However, Lin Chen's abilities were simply too strong, and he couldn't bear to let him go like that!

"Fourth brother, have you heard? Lin Chen has become one of the Ten Elders?"

Xu Si nodded, a bitter look on his face.

"I was originally planning to entrust him with the task of capturing Ma Xianhong, but now... I'm really worried!"

"What's there to worry about? Given your relationship with Lin Chen, the higher he rises, the more advantageous it will be for you, won't it?"

Xu Si's worries vanished instantly, and he slapped his thigh and stood up.

"You're right!"

Xia He stayed at Lin Sanchen's villa for two days, accompanied by two beautiful women, and Lin Sanchen lived a life like that of a god.

In his spare time, he would seize the opportunity to practice his double-handedness.

Gao Erzhuang would come to see him from time to time, and the two would meet and chat in spirit form.

"Boss, you're amazing! In just a few days, you've actually become one of the Ten Elders. Even my dad is shocked!"

Lin Chen meditated as he spoke:

"This is nothing, your father's real shock is yet to come!"

"Huh? Boss, what earth-shattering thing are you up to now? Tell me quickly!"

Gao Erzhuang became excited upon hearing Lin Chen's words.

"Is it related to you?"

"Huh?" Gao Erzhuang pointed at his nose, three parts shocked and seven parts suspicious, and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

Lin Chen nodded.

Gao Erzhuang shook Lin Chen's arm and started to act coquettishly.

"Boss, tell me quickly, I'm dying of anxiety!"

Lin Chen felt the soft touch on his arm and looked on with enjoyment.

Have you ever heard of Dual-Handed Technique, one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills?

Gao Erzhuang paused for a moment, then lowered his head and said sadly:

"Of course I've heard of it. Ever since I became disabled, my family has been trying to find a successor of the Double-Handed Technique to help me restore my body."

"But we haven't found it after searching for so many years!"

"Hey!"

Gao Erzhuang sighed, raised his head, and said in a seemingly relaxed manner:

"Actually, it's not a big deal if I can't find it. Aren't I fine the way I am now?"

"Besides, even if we find a successor to the Dual-Handed Technique, can he guarantee that he can help me recover my health?"

"I'm much better off now than before! At least I can occasionally go out and about like a normal person!"

She was referring to the body Lin Chen had found for him.

Looking at the girl who remained optimistic despite her physical disability, Lin Chen reached out and patted her head.
