Chapter 2338: Chapter 2339: Seeking Help
This was not because Lin Chen was unwilling to help them, but rather that seeing their current situation, there was indeed a feeling of an unspeakable dilemma.
If Lin Chen were to speak rashly, Fang Lin would recount the matter, yet Lin Chen did not possess such ability; wouldn’t that make others embarrassed, turning rising hopes into mere illusions?
However, looking at the current situation, Fang Qianqian kept indicating to Fang Lin incessantly, naturally linking Fang Qianqian to the matter.
Perhaps it was related to Fang Qianqian’s damaged cultivation.
After all, Fang Qianqian came from a sect, such damage cannot be resolved by ordinary means, leaving them only to pin hopes on disciples from the sect.
As he was contemplating, Fang Lin gently trembling, patted Lin Chen’s shoulder, saying: "Young brother Lin..."
His words were extremely slow, his hand trembled further, and his clouded eyes at this moment revealed a multitude of hopes.
Lin Chen lifted his head, and upon seeing such a gaze, his heart involuntarily trembled, then before he could speak further, even Fang Lin by his side couldn’t stop Fang Lin from speaking.
"Young brother Lin, I have an unworthy request, hoping you could save my little daughter."
Fang Lin spoke with a quivering voice, moving his lips timidly, voicing his inner thoughts reluctantly.
Indeed, as Lin Chen had thought, Fang Lin’s request must have a significant connection to Fang Qianqian, although he couldn’t guarantee anything now, especially since he wasn’t fully aware of Fang Qianqian’s injuries.
"Don’t listen to my father’s nonsense, actually, I’m quite fine." Fang Qianqian smiled lightly, maintaining her usual calmness, emanating an aura of aloofness.
If Lin Chen hadn’t heard Tang Ming’s explanation before, now Lin Chen might not have grasped Fang Qianqian’s real situation, bearing such a blow, besides Fang Qianqian, Lin Chen hadn’t seen another person like this.
"Clan Leader, what is it you want me to do?" Lin Chen inquired of Fang Lin.
"Sigh."
Fang Lin sighed lightly, his gaze gradually dropped, filled with regret and heartache, contemplating how to explain this matter clearly.
"Is it because of Miss Fang’s lost cultivation?" Seeing Fang Lin hesitating, Lin Chen sighed and said.
Having reached this point, Lin Chen no longer wanted to pretend ignorance.
"Young brother Lin already knows?"
Fang Lin exclaimed surprisingly, and after Lin Chen spoke, Fang Qianqian’s moving hands paused briefly and then returned to normal, indifferent as if the discussion had nothing to do with her.
"Yes, young brother Tang might also have some understanding of these matters."
Fang Lin looked at Tang Ming with a knowing expression; Tang Ming was, after all, born in Qingmu City and naturally had some understanding of past events.
"Ahem..." Tang Ming coughed lightly, appearing somewhat embarrassed; after all, he was a guest of the Fang Family, discussing these matters in their home, naturally was a rather inappropriate thing if overheard.
"Then is young brother Lin already aware of my daughter’s situation and possibly... help her restore her cultivation, or perhaps enable her to continue cultivating?" Fang Lin rubbed his hands, appearing extremely anxious; this matter remained a thorn in his heart, impossible to ignore.
Seeing Fang Lin like this, Lin Chen turned to glance at Fang Qianqian, yet seeing her unchanged demeanor, he internally praised her.
"Is cultivation so important? Now, isn’t Miss Fang still doing well?" Lin Chen asked.
"Sigh, if only that were true." Fang Lin suddenly said, causing Lin Chen to falter.
Could it be that there is another twist to Fang Qianqian’s situation?
"Although she is living well now, the past injuries aren’t fully healed, requiring many medicinal materials each year to maintain, and... before long, those adversaries might come seeking again..."
Fang Lin spoke slowly, his eyes moistening slightly, he raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes.
Lin Chen remained silent, occasionally glancing at Fang Qianqian, her smile slightly restrained, yet not overly sorrowful; she was tenderly patting Fang Lin’s back, seemingly comforting him.
"Is this also why she’s constantly surrounded by so many people?"
Lin Chen sighed lightly, it was hard for him to imagine what hardship Fang Qianqian had endured, yet in this situation, it wasn’t suitable for him to probe further.
He rested his hand on his chin, slightly furrowed his brow, pondered briefly, and then slowly spoke: "If Miss Fang doesn’t mind, I do have a cultivation technique here tailored for those who are rebuilding their cultivation, but whether it succeeds, I cannot say..."
After considering it, Lin Chen decided to let her try this cultivation technique, since despite the slim chances, there was at least a glimmer of hope.
Having heard Tang Ming’s recount of Fang Qianqian’s plight, Lin Chen naturally felt some sympathy towards this girl, inclining him towards the thought of helping her.
"Really... really?"
Fang Lin suddenly looked up, his tear-stained face revealing slight excitement; he clasped both hands onto Lin Chen’s arms, shaking them madly.
"Father, you’re being too rude..." Fang Qianqian shook her head, showing a slightly helpless expression.
"Couldn’t help it, young brother Lin... please forgive me." Fang Lin finally realized his loss of composure.
"It’s alright, let’s find a quiet place in a while." Lin Chen smiled faintly, understanding Fang Lin’s current mood, not minding too much.
...
After a feast, Lin Chen and Fang Qianqian slowly made their way towards Fang Qianqian’s original residence.
However, Fang Lin and Tang Ming did not follow.
This was also to provide Lin Chen and Fang Qianqian with a quiet environment; as cultivators, they naturally understood the disadvantages of being interrupted during the imparting of techniques.
"Perhaps your cultivation technique won’t have much effect on me."
Leading the way in front, Fang Qianqian suddenly turned her head and said to Lin Chen.
The bright moonlight happened to fall on Fang Qianqian’s profile, its silvery glow revealing a gentle arc on her lips, giving a gentle feel, causing Lin Chen’s gathered gaze to halt instantly, seemingly captivated by the person before him.
Fortunately, Lin Chen quickly regained his composure, paused briefly, then responded to Fang Qianqian: "How will you know without trying; besides, your options now are indeed very limited."
"I just don’t want to waste your time." A faint voice came from the front.
