Primordial Emperor-Chapter 1623 - 1622: Why Did You Come Back?

"Alright, three days it is. If there's no news from you, Old Brother Deng, after three days, I will have to look elsewhere."

Lin Chen's gaze was calm as he looked at Deng Yangbo, his tone indifferent.

"Rest assured, Brother Lin Chen, there will definitely be news within three days."

Deng Yangbo patted his chest, promising Lin Chen.

"In that case, I shall take my leave for now. I will trouble you again in three days, Old Brother Deng."

Having said that, Lin Chen bid farewell to Deng Yangbo and then left the Bright Moon Commerce Guild.

Deng Yangbo personally escorted Lin Chen out.

After Lin Chen left, Deng Yangbo immediately summoned the managers from the Tian Que City branch of the Bright Moon Commerce Guild and began the work of gathering funds, determined to collect enough low-grade Spirit Crystals within three days.

If this big deal can be made, it will bring tremendous benefits to the Bright Moon Commerce Guild. The commission would be hefty, certainly a great achievement within the guild, and perhaps he might even receive a promotion.

Of course, Deng Yangbo did not explicitly state the reason for collecting the low-grade Spirit Crystals, and others did not dare to ask openly, as this was the guild's rule. Even if they had their suspicions, they dared only keep them to themselves.

Although Yu Ning wasn't very clever, she could guess some clues upon seeing her Master rushing to gather low-grade Spirit Crystals after meeting Lin Chen.

However, though she wasn't particularly bright, she wasn't foolish either. Naturally, she wouldn't go around mentioning this matter to others.

If she didn't have even this bit of restraint, that would indeed be foolish, and Deng Yangbo wouldn't have chosen her to be his successor.

After leaving the Bright Moon Commerce Guild, Lin Chen returned to the Su Family, intending to visit the Bright Moon Commerce Guild again after the three days.

Upon Lin Chen's return, he found that Su Yun had been eagerly waiting for him.

"Boss, you're finally back."

Seeing Lin Chen return, Su Yun's face first showed immense joy, but then turned into a worried expression.

"Did something happen?"

Seeing Su Yun in this manner, Lin Chen felt puzzled, but he speculated that something must have occurred, hence Su Yun's eagerness for his return.

Hearing this, Su Yun hurriedly informed Lin Chen of the happenings within the Su Family and requested his assistance.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's expression immediately turned grim.

Since Su Yun was his subordinate, Lin Chen wouldn't sit by idly with Su Yun and the Su Family's issues.

"A good one, Su Dongyu! Back when we dealt with the guys from the Black Yan Hall on the Tianliu Continent, I spared his life. I didn't expect this fellow to harbor ill intentions and dare to stir up trouble again."

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

"Boss, did you meet Su Dongyu in the Ancient Ruins?"

Su Yun was taken aback hearing Lin Chen's tale and couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed. This fellow was quite lucky and got a number of Purple Scale Fruits on an island. By the time we arrived, he had already gotten there first."

"The changes you see in him are because he consumed those Purple Scale Fruits. This type of Magic Fruit can augment a person's power, causing their abilities to surge. However, it has a downside; it generates enormous resentment, leading one to fall into the Demonic Path."

"In the Ancient Ruins, this guy consumed the Purple Scale Fruit and then recklessly attempted to deal with me, but I nearly killed him. It was only when the demon cultivators from the Black Yan Hall showed up and a conflict arose between us that allowed this guy to escape and save his life."

Lin Chen recounted his experiences in the Ancient Ruins to Su Yun.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun understood the reason behind Su Dongyu's current state.

"Take me to see your father first."

Lin Chen looked at Su Yun and said plainly.

"Follow me, Boss."

Su Yun nodded, a look of delight on his face. Since Lin Chen said this, there must surely be a way to save his father.

Upon reaching Su Liuyun's residence, Lin Chen observed Su Liuyun's lifeless state and extremely haggard appearance, instantly falling silent.

"Boss, do you have a way to save my father?"

Su Yun, extremely tense, looked at Lin Chen and asked.

"There is a way, just not immediately implementable. You watch over your father here, and wait for me—it won't be long. During this time, don't let anyone disturb me."

Lin Chen told Su Yun, then his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot, returning to his quarters in the Su Family. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

After returning to his quarters in the Su Family, Lin Chen immediately used the Teleportation Array and returned to Cloud Sky City.

Back in Cloud Sky City, Lin Chen went to find Zhao Rushi, planning to refine a healing elixir with her.

Actually, Lin Chen could have simply used the Water of Life, which would surely bring Su Liuyun back.

After all, no matter how dire Su Liuyun's condition was, could it be worse than Zi Tianyi's situation at the time?

For Zi Ling, Lin Chen shared life-and-death experiences with her and had the camaraderie of being fellow disciples. During their time in the Yellow Hall, Zi Ling took care of him, which earned Lin Chen's complete trust. Naturally, he could entrust the Water of Life to her.

Lin Chen trusted his subordinate, Su Yun, as well.

But for Su Liuyun and others, Lin Chen was wary. If not for Su Yun's relation as his father, Lin Chen wouldn't even attempt to save him.

After all, there were entanglements between the Su Family and the Yunlong Royal Family. The Su Family was divided into two factions, seemingly supporting the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince, respectively.

With that in mind, Lin Chen didn't want to become embroiled in royal intrigue and trap himself.

Therefore, to save Su Liuyun, Lin Chen couldn't use the Water of Life and thus thought of refining a miraculous elixir to restore vitality.

With the Water of Life and the abundance of Spiritual Medicine from the Ancient Ruins, Lin Chen wasn't worried about refining a vitality-restoring elixir.

However, when it came to the distribution of medicinal effects and the understanding of various effects, Lin Chen wasn't as skilled as Zhao Rushi, which is why he planned to return to Cloud Sky City to discuss the matter with her.

After returning to Cloud Sky City, Lin Chen entered Zhao Rushi's Pill Refining Room. Upon seeing Lin Chen, her face first lit up with joy, but she immediately restrained her smile and looked at Lin Chen with a cold demeanor.

"What are you back for? Do you have some business with me?"

Zhao Rushi looked at Lin Chen and spoke indifferently.
