They recognized each other at a glance.

Level 10 War God, Star Core Leader, Xue Lingtian.

The number one person in the Federation.

It really was him!

Xue Wenrui is the daughter of the Star Core Leader!

Lin Chen and the others all stood up, their eyes carrying a bit of complexity.

It wasn’t exactly fear or awe, but ultimately, many pressures suddenly increased in their hearts.

This is a truly formidable figure!

When Lin Chen faced a Level 9 Martial Artist, he could maintain complete inner calmness, but when facing Xue Lingtian, his mood uncontrollably fluctuated.

There’s no helping it; Xue Lingtian’s life is just too legendary!

Previously, considering that Xue Wenrui might have some connection with the Star Core Leader, like being someone from the Star Core Leader’s family, Lin Chen and others deliberately looked up some information.

Information about Xue Wenrui was naturally not available, but the Star Core Leader’s information was quite clear.

Upon seeing that the Star Core Leader also bore the surname Xue, he basically confirmed that Xue Wenrui and the Star Core Leader should be from the same family, but he didn’t expect that Xue Wenrui was actually the daughter of the Star Core Leader.

A strange thought suddenly flashed through Lin Chen’s mind.

As the father and the Star Core Leader, with his daughter falling into enemy hands and himself being a Level 10 War God, why didn’t he personally rescue her?

By putting himself in his place, if his own child was kidnapped, he would have personally intervened at the first opportunity.

Too busy with work, unable to free himself?

The thought only flashed through Lin Chen’s mind briefly, after all, as the Star Core Leader of the Federation, even if he was willing to personally intervene to save someone, others probably wouldn’t agree.

The person kidnapped Xue Wenrui, how do you know if they didn’t set a trap waiting for you to rescue them?

Indeed, a Level 10 War God is very powerful, almost invincible in the Federation, but no matter how strong, he isn’t immortal. If someone specifically plotted against him, he could still die.

As these thoughts swirled in Lin Chen’s mind, Xue Lingtian walked in and once again apologized to Xue Wenrui, saying, "Ruirui, I’m sorry, can you forgive Dad?"

This Star Core Leader doesn’t have any airs, truly a kind father!

He must have a very good relationship with his daughter.

However, much to Lin Chen’s surprise, Xue Wenrui didn’t show much expression on her face, she calmly nodded: "It’s okay."

Huh?

What’s going on?

Just now, after Xue Wenrui became a disciple, our group gave gifts, and she was obviously very happy. So why is she not pleased when her father arrives?

Angry because he was late?

Yet Xue Lingtian seemed to know she would react this way and didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled and turned around.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

Lin Chen smiled in response: "Hello, Star Core Leader!"

Xue Lingtian laughed: "This is a private gathering, not during work hours, everyone, please don’t be reserved."

Lin Chen nodded but didn’t speak.

He hadn’t interacted with Xue Lingtian before and didn’t know his character, so he didn’t dare to speak rashly.

If he accidentally offended him, and the other party blacklisted him with a single word, wouldn’t he be doomed?

Fang Min spoke: "You came late just now, Mr. Lin examined Ruirui’s talents..."

Xue Lingtian asked with concern: "How was the result?"

Fang Min answered excitedly: "Ruirui has the talent for cultivation, she has a spatial attribute spiritual root, and her talent is great."

Xue Lingtian’s eyes brightened: "Really? That’s indeed good news."

Fang Min replied: "Ruirui has already taken Lin Chen as her teacher, Mr. Lin, and the ladies gave many Magical Treasures to Ruirui..."

Xue Lingtian laughed: "Mr. Lin and the ladies are the supreme existences of Lost Ball 235, the highest realm in the cultivation system. With his personal guidance for Ruirui, she will surely achieve something soon. You needn’t worry about her future."

Fang Min nodded, eyes slightly red: "Yes, now I’m relieved."

Although Fang Min didn’t specify her worries, Lin Chen could guess.

Isn’t this the same as Xu Qingchuan’s situation?

Parents and siblings are all warriors, with long lifespans, but himself lacking cultivation talent, can only be an ordinary person. Even with advanced technology, it can’t significantly extend his lifespan. Ultimately, the tragedy is unavoidable, where the child dies before the parents, parents bury their children, a tragedy of the white-haired sending off the black-haired.

Apparently, Xue Wenrui was in the same situation; her mother had always been worried. Now learning that her daughter can cultivate, and her lifespan can be extended longer than even a martial artist, her longstanding worries can finally be laid to rest.

She had said before that Xue Wenrui’s goal in cultivation wasn’t to become extremely strong, but merely to have some self-defense ability. What she truly meant wasn’t about becoming powerful, but having a longer lifespan.

This is the real purpose behind Xue Wenrui’s desire to cultivate.

As the child of the Star Core Leader, her father would surely arrange adequate bodyguards for her, especially after this kidnapping incident, the experts around her would likely become even stronger.

Xue Lingtian turned to Lin Chen, extended his hand solemnly: "Mr. Lin, I have reviewed the rescue process, and it’s entirely thanks to you that my daughter returned safely. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable."

Lin Chen shook hands with Xue Lingtian, smiling: "I work at the Security Bureau. This rescue mission involved the Security Bureau, and I was just performing my duties."

Xue Lingtian shook his head: "Perhaps, to you, it was just a normal rescue and daily work, but to me, whoever saved my daughter is my benefactor."

Lin Chen quickly waved his hand: "Star Core Leader, you overstate it."

Xue Lingtian laughed: "I said, this is private, not work; no need for titles, no need to be so serious. Now you are facing a father who wants to thank you for saving his daughter, not the Star Core Leader."

Lin Chen corrected himself: "Understood, Mr. Xue."

Xue Lingtian scanned over Nalan Wushuang and others, smiling: "Sorry for keeping you waiting, shall we start the meal now?"

Lin Chen and others, as guests, naturally had no objections.

Everyone took their seats and started the meal.

During the meal, Xue Lingtian asked why Lin Chen and others had come to the Emperor Star, and Lin Chen candidly replied: "Since we’ve joined the Federation, we wanted to see how prosperous the Emperor Star is, and to see if there’s a faster way to improve our strength..."

Xue Lingtian smiled: "You came looking for the Divine Descent Potion?"

Lin Chen answered: "I didn’t know the Divine Descent Potion was so strictly regulated, I thought perhaps there was a way, but after understanding the situation, I nearly gave up hope. After all, as a mid-career addition to the Federation, it’s hard for people to trust my loyalty to the Federation, yet the managing of Divine Descent Potion by the Divine War Department prioritizes loyalty."

Xue Lingtian asked: "You’ve been in the Federation for a while now, what do you think of it?"

"Pretty good."

Lin Chen’s tone was sincere: "Although the privileged class still exists and abuses power, ordinary people are at least protected by law and can live with dignity, and that’s good."

Xue Lingtian smiled: "Since you recognize the Federation, and have joined the Security Bureau, then feel assured to stay. It won’t be difficult for you to achieve recognition, and you are sure to obtain the Divine Descent Potion..."
