Chapter 4167 - 4186: That’s Thanks to You

"Brother Chen, you can do it."

Xu Qingchuan extended his hand and tapped Lin Chen’s chest, exclaiming, "I knew you joined the Security Bureau before, but I didn’t expect you to mix it up so awesomely that even the Iron Blood Rose has a soft spot for you and sees you differently."

Xu Qingchuan chuckled, "If it weren’t for the fact that you already have several wives, I would have thought you two got together."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Don’t talk about me. Miss Hao is both beautiful and gentle. You’re inviting her to a private gathering at the bar; are you simply trying to solve the Tianheng Group’s problem, or are you also trying to solve being single?"

Xu Qingchuan waved his hand, "Too early, too early; we’ve only met twice, can’t really say anything about it. Just making friends, solving the Tianheng Group’s issue would be best. Even if it can’t be solved, having more friends means more paths, no loss at all."

"The Hao Family is vast and influential, and Hao Yan is highly valued by the family. Although Tianheng also has a decent foundation, on normal planets, it’s like a giant, but compared to the Imperial Star Thirty-six Elite Families, it can’t compete."

"Let’s not talk about whether I have thoughts or not; even if I do, she may not look up to me, and her family may not agree."

"So, let’s keep it simple; just make friends. We’ll talk about the future later..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That works too. You’re now a cultivator, with a long lifespan, so playing around on a daily basis is fine. But for someone to spend a lifetime with, you must be cautious, and you’ll face a problem."

Xu Qingchuan curiously asked, "What problem?"

Lin Chen’s smile faded, "If you find a cultivator as a partner, you can stay together for a long time. But if you find an ordinary person or a martial artist, their lifespan can’t compare to yours. In the end, you can only watch her die in front of you."

Xu Qingchuan froze, then frowned, "That’s true, although martial artists have also extended their lives, they really can’t compare to the lifespan of cultivators."

Lin Chen nodded, "So, cultivators are very cautious in seeking a Daoist couple, usually looking for someone who can accompany them forward and stay together, not someone with too much of a gap."

Xu Qingchuan with a bitter face said, "Yeah, let’s not talk about a wife; if nothing goes wrong, my family might all leave before me..."

Lin Chen comforted, "Black-haired sending off the white-haired is normal, it’s the law of nature. For white-haired to send off the black-haired, that’s a tragedy in the human world. In the future, your descendants, if qualified, can cultivate first, then practice martial arts, and this situation won’t occur."

Xu Qingchuan pouted, "That also depends on whether there’s talent; if there’s no talent, it’s very difficult."

Lin Chen comforted, "Cultivators with good talents, their descendants generally have spiritual roots, that’s hereditary."

"Of course, if your other half doesn’t have spiritual roots, then it’s uncertain for the descendants."

Xu Qingchuan’s eyes widened, "That’s possible too; even in cultivation, it talks about heredity?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Heredity is the Heavenly Dao; as long as it’s life, it will follow this rule, and cultivators are naturally no exception."

Xu Qingchuan nodded, "Alright, then I guess I need to find a cultivator as a wife; anyway, now that the lifespan is long enough, there’s no rush."

After pausing for a moment, Xu Qingchuan brought the topic back, "Given today’s situation, it seems like helping might be possible. After all, this problem is perhaps big for us, but for the Hao Family, it’s just a matter of saying a word, making a call."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If it can be solved, that would naturally be best."

Xu Qingchuan gave a bitter smile, "Truly, if that’s the case, it’s all thanks to you..."
