Factional struggle!

Lin Chen understood immediately upon hearing.

The new forces want to expand, which will inevitably encroach on the interests of the old powers. Naturally, the old powers are unwilling, and thus the struggle begins.

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Alright, contact me later. If you need any help, just let me know."

After a pause, Lin Chen added: "I can’t guarantee I’ll be of help."

Xu Qingchuan laughed: "Alright, if I really need something, I won’t be polite with you."

Xu Qingchuan learned from his cousin Xu Haicheng that Lin Chen is in the Security Bureau and knows Lin Chen is doing pretty well now. After hearing Lin Chen speak carefully, he admires Lin Chen even more.

It’s the Wei Family, one of the thirty-six elite families of the Emperor Star!

Wei Family Master, a Level 9 powerhouse personally took action, yet they couldn’t deal with Lin Chen, evident of his prowess!

Qiu Chan intervened, Qi Family protects him?

Isn’t this ability as well?

Try someone else, and see if Qiu Chan would intervene?

Don’t say Qiu Chan is the team leader of the Security Bureau, responsible for First District’s safety, and has the duty to resolve disputes and eliminate safety hazards.

If Lin Chen wasn’t special, would Qiu Chan pay attention to him? Would she receive the report immediately?

This is strength, the kind of ability that draws attention wherever you go!

Though Xu Qingchuan recognizes some realities, he accepts Lin Chen’s goodwill offer to help but truly wasn’t planning to seek Lin Chen out.

In his view, Lin Chen having been absorbed into the Security Bureau and became a happy idle person is all because he is the rightful Master of a Realm in the Heavenly God Realm, and possesses divine skills like Star Sky Jump.

The Security Bureau used a spot to constrain Lin Chen’s entire family, safeguarding his security, and preventing them from making a move or becoming henchmen for wealthy families.

Given such circumstances, Lin Chen seems relaxed and glorious, yet actually holds little power. Moreover, the troubles faced by Tianheng Group can’t be easily resolved, right?

A member of the Security Bureau probably doesn’t have that much authority, right?

Putting aside her role as Security Bureau team leader, Qiu Chan, leveraging her Level 9 martial artist status and core figure of the Qi Family, if she wanted to intervene and help, it surely wouldn’t be a problem as Qi Family is one of the top twelve elite families.

But why would Qiu Chan help Xu Family?

Xu Qingchuan does not want Lin Chen to ask Qiu Chan because of Xu Family matters. Maybe Qiu Chan would help, but certainly not without a reason.

Politics is compromise and exchange.

If Qi Family helps, Lin Chen would owe Qi Family more, and given his character, this favor would be like an invisible shackle, binding Lin Chen, preventing him from gaining true freedom.

Xu Qingchuan thanks Lin Chen for guiding him in cultivation, thanks Lin Chen for helping the Xu Family on Planet 11, appreciates being valued as a friend, and as friends, how can one let a friend fall into dilemma because of one’s own issues?

Even if this friend is willing, it isn’t a reason to demand.

Friends don’t act like that.

"You all have been living freely these years, the entire federation has your footprints, I, from childhood to adulthood, haven’t visited many planets."

Nalan Wushuang laughed: "If you’re willing, you can anytime, anyway you don’t handle Tianheng Group matters. Your personal business can pause; your assistant team can handle things for you, can’t you free yourself?"

Xu Qingchuan explained with a laugh: "Sister-in-law, actually there’s a key issue in this, which is the lifespan problem."

"Previously, I was a waste unable to cultivate; family loved me, protected me, kept me away from family industry matters, let me do whatever I wanted, but life’s mere hundred years, a journey spending ten, several decades, how can it be so carefree?"

"Traveling is about seeing different sceneries, but it can’t be entirety of life. You all can travel freely, ten years, a hundred years, go when you want, stop when you want, that’s because you possess the strength and lifespan to follow your heart, the state of mind is vastly different."

Lin Chen agreed: "Indeed, ordinary people’s lifespan is short, while there are many things to do in a lifetime, not mentioning others, just marriage and childbirth, raising descendants, that occupies the most important and vibrant time of life."

"Busy learning before adulthood, energy declines as one ages, body isn’t like before, the interest and love for the world are hard to maintain as when young, truly giving an ordinary person their own time, very little."

"However, this problem, for you now, is no longer an issue."

Xu Qingchuan nodded: "Yes, I now cultivate step-by-step on the right path, my lifespan is extending bit by bit, the length of my life is increasing, yet accordingly, my life is changing."

Shang Wenyao laughed: "Not an ordinary person anymore, lifespan may become the longest among your Xu Family; surely your family won’t let you squander time freely now, right?"

Xu Qingchuan sighed with a bitter face: "Indeed, you see, such matters usually wouldn’t fall on me, even if my dad lacks time, it’d be my Brother for sure. But now, both my dad and brother said that cultivation is important, but one needn’t rush too much, to balance cultivation and living, so isn’t that arranging things for me?"

Lin Chen couldn’t hold back: "Your family is involving you in Tianheng Group affairs?"

"Isn’t it so?"

Xu Qingchuan’s face was like a bitter melon: "I got used to being lazy, aside from dabbling in small business, living a life of dining, drinking, flirting, now my dad assigned me a post in the company, threw me a pile of tasks."

"I couldn’t argue with him, went to my brother hoping he’d persuade few words, and my brother said I now have the longest lifespan, and abilities, should add more responsibilities, even saying how they’d eventually die, all things would be mine ultimately, should start managing, lead Tianheng Group to grow big and strong..."

With words said, everyone at the gathering laughed.

Xu Haicheng laughed: "Isn’t it great, you were just muddling around before, day in, day out, muddling too much wouldn’t be interesting either, having some work, days wouldn’t be idly anxious..."

Xu Qingchuan wore a pain-filled mask on his face, turned and pointed at Lin Chen: "Ask Brother Chen, see if he’s idly anxious. I see his family being entirely carefree, traveling the world, with abilities, they’re honored guests wherever they go, not lacking money, can lie down if they want, play if they want, go if they wish..."

Xu Haicheng chuckled: "You want to compare yourself to Brother Chen, then you need Brother Chen’s abilities."

Xu Qingchuan lifted his wine glass, took a big sip: "Can’t compare, not just differences in cultivation strength, but also life experience, those who come through life-and-death struggles, us well-babies growing up in stable environments, can’t compare."

Lin Chen laughed: "Since you can’t resist, enjoy it proactively. At least this way, it won’t be too hard, moreover, your family is right, you’re Xu Family’s first cultivator, regardless of Xu Family’s future, you’re bound to be Xu Family’s future helmsman..."
