Teng Cheng left, coming with confidence, leaving with disappointment.
Half a two-hour later, Linghua and Liu Mei left with smiles.
Linghua and Liu Mei seemed unchanged in demeanor, but the two realized that those in the clan who once looked down on Lin Chen might suffer a great loss this time.
No wonder, no wonder the elders remained silent after the Princess announced her fiancé, they must also know Lin Chen’s strength.
…
“What’s the matter, defeated Teng Cheng, yet not happy, are you afraid of encountering trouble in the Flower Race?”
In the courtyard, Yin Yue saw Lin Chen standing in contemplation and asked curiously.
“Not really.”
Lin Chen shook his head. Liu Mei had just informed him that after the senior sister announced her fiancé was him, the elders of the Flower Race did not express any opposition but collectively remained silent.
In Liu Mei’s view, the elders knew of his potential and were willing to give him a chance.
But he was thinking of something else.
To marry a Flower Clan Princess, one needs approval from the entire Flower Race, so what about his own father-in-law?
His father-in-law’s martial talent wasn’t notable in the Flame Dynasty, so how did his mother-in-law end up marrying him?
Recalling what Yin Yue said, the former Flower Race Princess had disappeared for years… the answer became clear.
His mother-in-law had a falling out with the Flower Race elders.
To pursue love, she chose to defy the family and elope!
Hiss!
His mother-in-law is a true romantic at heart.
As for the silence of the Flower Race elders, he’s now guessed the reason.
With his mother-in-law’s precedent, these Flower Race elders dare not push too hard, fearing that the senior sister might follow in her footsteps and leave the clan, never to return.
These Flower Race elders are afraid!
Also, Lin Chen believes that since his mother-in-law dared send the senior sister back to the clan, she must have anticipated this situation, perhaps even reached some agreement with the Flower Race elders.
Therefore, the marriage contract between him and the senior sister is unlikely to be opposed by those elders of the Flower Race.
…
…
Two days later!
Qianlang came to the courtyard to inform Lin Chen and Yin Yue that the Thousandfold Secret Realm was to open today, and elders were inviting all those entering the realm to head to the entrance.
At the mountainous entrance beneath the layered clouds, when Lin Chen and Yin Yue arrived, many young people were already present, dozens at a glance.
Seeing Lin Chen’s gaze, Linghua and Liu Mei smiled and nodded in return, while Lin Chen reciprocated with a smile. However, Teng Cheng seemed somewhat awkward, avoiding eye contact with Lin Chen.
A few breaths later, Lin Chen felt a hostile gaze, it was from a giant nearly a zhang tall.
This height was slightly lower than the giant who had previously chased Yin Yue.
From the height and the hostile gaze, Lin Chen knew this must be someone sent by the Moon Soul Race traitors, competing with Yin Yue for Moon Soul Race treasures.
The whole crowd consisted of young people under thirty, with no elders present from any race.
This is a rule set by the Entropy Race, only the younger generation is allowed when the Thousandfold Secret Realm opens, elders from any race can only come in extreme circumstances, otherwise they must not accompany.
However, on regular days when not opening the secret realm, the Entropy Race also welcomes powerful guests from other races.
Sixty-three people, with participants from twenty clans, except for the other three major upper races and a few remnant races. The ancient remnant races were all here this time.
These were the details Qianlang shared with Lin Chen on their way, and the count far exceeded that of the previous opening of the Thousandfold Secret Realm. The previous opening was sixty years ago, with just over thirty entering, this time the number almost doubled.
While Lin Chen was observing the crowd, they were also sizing him up.
The match between Lin Chen and Teng Cheng last night was unknown to these remnants, but the internal affairs of the Moon Soul Race were no secret among the remnants, and the reason for this early opening of the Thousandfold Secret Realm was because of the Moon Soul Race, so many curious gazes landed on Lin Chen.
The origin of Lin Chen was known, as the Thousandfold Race did not keep it hidden.
“This must be the first time a non-remnant race person enters the Thousandfold Secret Realm, isn’t the Moon Soul Race afraid of being laughed at for this?”
A young man on site spoke slowly, looking at Lin Chen with ridicule.
Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, while other youths from various races showed signs of agreement upon hearing this.
The Thousandfold Secret Realm was created by the ancestors of the various races together with the Entropy Race ancestors, so they naturally felt entitled to enter, but on what grounds did Lin Chen have this right?
The action of the Moon Soul Race Princess seemed inappropriate to them.
Yin Yue’s face turned cold, the speaker was from the Ice Soul Race, and there was no grievance between the Ice Soul Race and their Moon Soul Race, so this sudden statement from the Ice Soul Race must mean that they reached some deal with the traitors, aiming to block Lin Chen from entering the secret realm or cause him to be ostracized within it.
Just as Yin Yue was about to speak, someone beat her to it.
“What’s there to laugh at, did the ancestors specify that outsiders cannot enter back then?”
The speaker, Teng Cheng, stared at the person with an imposing presence: “Or do you think you can represent all the races? I doubt even your clan elders have the right to say this.”
