Chapter 67 Seeing Through
In the courtyard, Liu Qiqiang stood stiffly on one side, listening to Lin Chen's talk.
"This time I sent you pills. On the surface, you wanted to thank me, but in essence, you wanted to get in touch with me. I wonder if what I said is right?"
"I have been dormant for ten years, but once I rose up, I not only won the second place in the outer sect competition, but also became an inner sect disciple. It can be said that I have a bright future!"
"In addition, I have no power behind me and no one under me to do anything, so I will naturally attract the attention of countless powerless low-level disciples."
"And it just so happened that I had a chance encounter with you last time at Danxia Peak, so you gave me pills in the name of gratitude just to connect with me."
"If I accept this elixir, you can not only get in touch with me, but you can even go back and promote this matter secretly.
In the future, as my status and strength increase, anyone who wants to make friends with me may give you some help because of this relationship! "
"And if you don't accept this Bigu Pill, you can still go back and publicize your visit to me, and then say nothing about whether I accepted this gift."
"The disciples below can't figure out the relationship between you and me, and they don't dare to ask face-to-face. Naturally, they don't dare to offend you easily. This will reduce the resistance for your future work, practice, and climb up."
"So when I say that I am giving the elixir this time, my gratitude is fake and my use is real. In essence, I want to use my fame to climb up. As for this elixir, whether I accept it or not, that doesn't matter!
As long as you step through this door and make it impossible for others to figure out the relationship between the two of us, your goal has been achieved, right? "
Lin Chen picked up the tea cup in his hand, took a sip gently, looked at the people on the side, and said with a half-smile: "Confuse the real with the fake, use the fake to achieve your own goals, you are really good at it, Liu Qiqiang!"
Liu Qiqiang's face turned pale with panic, his legs went weak, he knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed repeatedly.
"The villain was obsessed for a moment and offended my senior brother. I asked him to punish me. No matter what it is, I will definitely do it!"
"I have to admit that you are indeed very courageous, and you are still playing tricks at this time." Lin Chen gently blew away the white mist on the tea cup and said with a smile, "I can't kill you within the sect, I can only punish you. Doing things for me, in the eyes of outsiders, means that you are one of my people. It is really a good idea to make progress by retreating!"
"This..." Liu Qiqiang became more and more frightened. Unexpectedly, his thoughts were completely read by Lin Chen. He felt that he was naked in front of Lin Chen, as if he had no cover!
"S-Senior Brother..." He opened his mouth, wanting to say these things, but found that he was speechless.
"Why, is there anything else you want to say?" Lin Chen smiled softly and said, "You tell me, and I'll guess."
"Senior Brother Mingjian." Liu Qiqiang lowered his head completely.
He originally thought that his little cleverness could hide this from Senior Brother Lin, but he didn't expect that he would already know everything!
Even though he looks very calculating, as long as Senior Brother Lin in front of him reveals that he has offended Senior Brother Lin, then no one knows how many people will rush to step on him and get the upper hand!
By that time, even if his life is guaranteed due to sect regulations, his life will be worse than death!
'You were just giving me guidance, but in the blink of an eye...' Cold sweat kept flowing down Liu Qiqiang's forehead, and he became more and more worried. He felt that Lin Chen's image was becoming more and more unpredictable.
He knew the essence of alchemy at his fingertips, and knew the calculations of people's hearts. He looked happy and angry on the outside, but in fact he couldn't guess his inner thoughts at all. This kind of ability and ability...even compared to the sect's foundation-building elders he had seen. Not on.
'If I really offended him...' Liu Qiqiang didn't dare to think about this possibility!
"Come on, get up!" However, at this moment, he heard Lin Chen say.
"Ah?" Unexpectedly, Lin Chen would say that. Liu Qiqiang suddenly raised his head, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.
"What? Do you want to keep kneeling?"
"No, I don't want to." The sudden encounter made Liu Qiqiang a little confused. He replied subconsciously, and then stood up quickly.
"Senior Brother, I have a lot of disciples. I will be extremely grateful. No matter what happens in the future, I will definitely die..."
"Okay, stop saying such polite words, I want to see your actions." Lin Chen interrupted.
"Yes! Senior brother, just ask!" Liu Qiqiang responded quickly.
Lin Chen didn't speak for a while, but looked into the distance, and after a while he said: "Actually, it's good for you to do this."
"Ah?" When he heard this, his eyes were a little blank.
"You and I are just acquainted, but you dare to get in touch with each other because of this. This shameless ability is already quite good."
"The observation is quite meticulous. From the exchanges between you and me, I can conclude that the Bigu Pill has inspired me. If you give this gift, even if I don't accept it, it won't arouse my resentment."
"Although there are benefits to coming here this time, there is also the risk of offending me. But you still have the courage and courage to take advantage of the fire."
"Shameless, careful observation, good gift giving, and the courage to profit from risks, these things are not something ordinary people can possess." Lin Chenyan said with a smile.
"This..." Liu Qiqiang smiled bitterly, "It's just a little trick, how can it be hidden from senior brother's discerning eyes?"
"Careful?" Lin Chen turned around and looked at him and said with a smile, "For the little people, this is called being careful, but for the big people, it is called being careful, able to bend and stretch, and brave and resourceful. Great spirit!”
"You know, during the time when I was becoming successful, I don't know how many people I once knew wanted to come to me to establish relationships and take advantage of my reputation."
"But they just want me to win over them. They don't even think about what abilities and potential they have, so that I can win over them at all costs."
Lin Chen seemed to have a look of emotion on his face and continued.
"Those of us who have climbed out from the bottom have no power, so we must have advantages that are different from ordinary people, otherwise we will not be able to stand out. We must have innovative ideas, or be bold and cautious, and so on."
"If you want to climb up, if you don't have these things, you must at least be thick-skinned. Otherwise, you have to maintain your so-called self-esteem, and want free help from others, and finally rise all the way up. This world is not your home, so why?"
"So this is why I admire you. You are shameless, cautious, and brave enough to take a chance." Lin Chen said.
"Senior brother, that's ridiculous." Liu Qiqiang said fearfully, but secretly there was a hint of joy.
Hearing what Senior Brother Lin said, he must have wanted to reuse him.
There was an unpredictable crisis just now, but in the blink of an eye he was appreciated by a noble man. Liu Qiqiang suddenly felt that life has ups and downs, but that's it!
"Character is one thing. It gives you a chance to turn around, but whether you can grasp it depends on your ability." Lin Chen said lightly.
Then, he took out a [Platform Construction Plan] and threw it away.
"Read this book carefully these days, and then I will give you a chance to test your ability. Okay, you can leave."
"Yes." Liu Qiqiang nodded quickly, held the book in his arms, and stepped back respectfully.
"It's a little clever, but you still need to hone it and practice it before you can use it!" Lin Chen looked at his retreating back and took a sip of the spiritual tea.
He also needs his own people to build the platform, and it is impossible to leave it all to Xu Mengyun.
It just so happened that Liu Qiqiang seemed to be quite pleasing to the eye, so he didn't mind giving him a chance.
As for whether the other party will betray?
Lin Chen wouldn't care at all.
Not to mention that the other party is a smart person and will not be easily blinded by interests.
Even if he betrays, so what?
In this world, great power belongs to oneself, and there is no need to play any balance at all. As long as he is strong, even if the whole world is against him, he can suppress it with his backhand!
"However, I quite appreciate his efforts and determination to climb up. I will give him a chance to see how far he can go."
Lin Chen smiled indifferently and quickly put the matter behind him.
Afterwards, he packed up his things and walked directly down the mountain.
