Chapter 1523 - Recover, Breakthrough
“Little Brother Chen, I haven’t come just to push you to leave. I also have a favor to ask. Please take my daughter Ling’er with you,” said Gongsun Jing, his voice heavy with resignation. He had clearly accepted his fate, ready to battle the Deng Clan to the very end; still, as a father, he couldn’t bear to sacrifice his daughter to the flames.
He was well aware that the Deng Clan’s true goal wasn’t his daughter but the manor itself. Even if he married Gongsun Ling’er off to them, the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor wouldn’t escape annihilation. Since that was the case, why should he sacrifice his daughter?
Such is the heartbreaking love of parents. Chen Fan sighed inwardly and said, “Mountain Manor Gongsun, even if I wanted to help you by leaving, I fear the Deng Clan has already sealed off all escape routes. The entire city, perhaps even the manor itself, is under their watchful eye. So, I couldn’t leave, even if I tried.”
Gongsun Jing’s eyes immediately lit up, and he said, “As long as Little Brother Chen agrees to it, I have a way to send you and Ling’er out of here.”
Chen Fan looked at Gongsun Jing. It seemed like he had no choice but to agree to it this time. Ultimately, he sighed and nodded. “Then... alright.”
“Good, I’ll go make preparations right now. Wait here for my good news, Little Brother Chen.”
Gongsun Jing came and went like the wind. Seeing Chen Fan finally agree, he immediately left to make preparations.
Watching Gongsun Jing’s back as he left, Chen Fan shook his head helplessly. He had been delaying his departure to help Gongsun Jing after his injuries healed.
However, Gongsun Jing failed to see through his intentions and kept urging him to leave.
Still, Chen Fan didn’t think too much about it. His injuries still hadn’t fully healed. Although his cultivation had recovered, he could worsen his injuries if he unleashed his full strength.
In his current state, Immortal Platform experts until the second level would be easy, but he for sure couldn’t deal with someone at the third level, let alone a fourth-level Immortal Platform realm expert.
Chen Fan didn’t dwell on it. What was most important to him right now was recovering from his injuries.
