41: Chapter 41 Taking the Initiative to Jump to the Side

"After so many days, I thought you had forgotten the task I entrusted to you. Coming here this time, I hope to hear some good news."

Inside the private room, Chen Xing's face wore an undisguised look of irritation. Even though he possessed a B-grade talent, the progress of his Believers' strength improvement was not ideal.

He had clearly been working very hard to "whip" his Believers into shape, so why couldn't they just be a bit more impressive?

"Please forgive me, Young Master. It is mainly because the target has been staying inside the Tianjing Divine Mansion all these days.

You are aware of the security situation in there, so I could only wait outside. And just a moment ago, the task you entrusted to me was successfully completed."

It should have been completed, right? After all, the one who took action was also a Demigod; surely they wouldn't have just called the target and his group into their Divine Kingdom to have a chat?

Hearing this news, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Chen Xing's face.

"This is the best news I've heard in quite some time. Well done. Since the matter is settled, you can return first.

I am already feeling impatient to share this happy news with my friends. Oh, right.

There is also our poor classmate Lin; he surely needs some care from his fellow classmates right now."

After dropping this line, Chen Xing's figure instantly vanished from the virtual world. He opened his wristwatch and performed a series of operations, a malicious smile emerging on his face.

On the other end, after dealing with that strange Demigod, Lin Xiao felt a bit uneasy, fearing that there might be another Demigod or even a God lurking somewhere waiting for him.

He simply canceled the reservation at Yue Manlou and changed it to a small gathering at home to celebrate. Besides, there was a Spirit Dining Hall in his Divine Kingdom anyway.

Just as the spirit meals were being served one after another at his place, a message notification came through on his wristwatch.

[Chen family third generation [Chen Xing] invites you to join the [Descendants' Chat Group]]

This name felt vaguely familiar to Lin Xiao, and his mind began to recall. Soon, a handsome and sunny figure began to overlap with the name.

Clearly, Lin Xiao had confused Chen Xing with Chen Liang. He thought this Chen Xing was the first person from the Chen family branch to invite him.

[[Chen Xing] invited [Lin Xiao] to join the [Descendants' Chat Group]]

The chat group, which had been very lively, suddenly fell silent. Only a moment later, question marks began to appear in the chat group one by one.

[What's the situation? Chen Xing actually pulled him in?]

[Yo, isn't this Young Master Lin? How come you're willing to condescend to come to our humble temple?]

[Classmate Lin, I heard your two Slave Gods performed well during the class assessment previously. Why don't you share some insights with us?]

Watching the scrolling messages in the chat group, Chen Xing wore a malicious smile on his face. He began to edit a message rapidly.

[I heard Classmate Lin was just attacked by unknown individuals, and your cultivated high-level Believers were completely wiped out? Tsk tsk tsk, the streaming assessment is coming up soon.

Yet something like this happened; Classmate Lin, do you still have time to cultivate new Believers? Hehe, how about I let my brother provide you with some funding?]

[?]

[What do you mean?]

[Attacked? When? Who?!]

[Really? High-level Believers completely wiped out?]

Chen Xing's words were like a huge boulder, stirring up a massive splash in the chat group, even flushing out some of the people who had been lurking.

Lin Xiao naturally saw the other party's message as well, and he immediately realized what had happened. He had confused the two Chen brothers.

After distinguishing the other party's identity, his eyes narrowed slightly. He had just been attacked, and the other party immediately added him to the group.

Furthermore, they were mocking him to his face; it was hard to say that this matter had nothing to do with them. But the other party's information was also very strange; why would they say his high-level Believers were completely wiped out?

[Oh? I didn't expect the Chen family to be so well-informed. It hasn't been long since I was attacked, and you already know the result? Could it be...]

He paused for a moment, then Lin Xiao spoke the rest of his words without any reservation.

[Could it be that this Demigod was sent by you?]

As soon as he said this, the chat group, which had been very active just a moment ago, fell into instant silence. No one sent any more messages.

Seeing this message, Chen Xing was just about to mock him when the room door was violently kicked open from the outside.

Chen Liang's face wore an expression of anger mixed with a trace of disbelief. When he saw the smile that Chen Xing hadn't yet managed to suppress in the room.

He only felt a chill run through his entire body, and he went up to grab the other's collar.

"Don't tell me, you idiot, that you actually sent people to ambush him? And you even killed all of his high-level Believers?!!"

"Cough, cough... Brother... Brother. You, first, let go. I can't breathe."

Seeing the other's face flushed red, Chen Liang only then realized that he had used too much force in his anger. He then threw him aside.

"Speak! What have you done?! Have you forgotten what I told you? I told you not to provoke him, yet you dared to send people to intercept and kill him?!"

"Cough, cough... Brother. Don't you go around falsely accusing people; who saw me send people to intercept him? Besides, isn't he perfectly fine?

At most, he just lost some Believers; for someone who is still a Divine Being, this loss isn't that big."

Once these words were out, how could Chen Liang not know? This matter was indeed done by his stupid younger brother.

Slap! With a sound, Chen Liang fiercely slapped him across the face.

"How did I instruct you?! Even if my words are fart to you, what about the Patriarch? The Patriarch personally ordered that no one should provoke him.

The one who took action was Wu Jiang, right? Where is he now?!"

The only Demigod who could be commanded by his stupid younger brother was this Wu Jiang arranged by the family.

Chen Liang's eyes flickered constantly, ideas emerging in his mind one after another, and then being dismissed by him.

Looking at the eerily quiet chat group, he walked over and hauled the idiot up.

"I tell you to send: Classmate Lin, please do not misunderstand; I also just heard about this matter from my subordinates. He just happened to pass by your place and saw it."

Watching the idiot in front of him finish sending the message as requested, Chen Liang still wasn't satisfied. He slapped him hard across the face again.

Giving the other's cheeks a symmetrical treatment.

"Call Wu Jiang here for me! Now, immediately, right away! I don't care where he is or what he is doing!"

Before Chen Xing could even try to send a message, a voice came abruptly from the doorway.

"Young Master, you have something to ask of me?"

And Chen Xing, at this moment, was like someone who had found a savior; he hurriedly spoke to his brother.

"It was all him! He was the one who instigated me, saying it was just a small punishment for the other party. I was momentarily possessed by a ghost; why don't we just hand him over?

No matter what that Lin guy wants to do, anyway, the one who took action was indeed him."

Chen Xing's words made Wu Jiang's cheek twitch uncontrollably. If it weren't for the other's status, he would have wanted to tear him apart alive right then and there!

I told you eight hundred times from the start! This matter is not easy to handle, don't do it! You refused to listen. Now that something has gone wrong, you want me to take the blame?!

Chen Liang's face also turned black, and he roared at the idiot.

"You have no brain, do you think everyone is as brainless as you? Without your order, why would Wu Jiang, a Demigod, go to deal with Lin Xiao?"

Combining what Chen Xing said before leaving, Wu Jiang pretty much knew what the situation was now. While inwardly cursing the other for being brainless.

At a time like this, he actually took the initiative to provoke him. He hurriedly started to explain.

"Young Master, you have misunderstood; this matter was truly not done by me..."
