The free Meditation Stones now available are all Zhong Nan’s handiwork. Back then, when Meditation Stones were under the control of the major powers, one stone cost ten thousand dollars. Unfortunately, Zhong Nan ultimately relied on the four major powers to establish his footing, so this grand reckoning wasn’t thorough. The present Celestial Capital can only be said to be somewhat better than before, but fundamentally nothing has changed. After the grand reckoning, Zhong Nan, the National Preceptor, has rarely appeared in public. Lin Chen knew this was because the Celestial Capital powers were deliberately downplaying Zhong Nan’s influence. If it could be said that Zhong Nan lost his abilities as National Preceptor, he might not see the sun of tomorrow. Deep down, Lin Chen greatly admired Zhong Nan. Every generation of reformers is inevitably subject to much skepticism... Their achievements are often difficult for contemporary people to evaluate. The ones who can truly see their accomplishments are future generations. "Could it be that the National Preceptor lives up there?" Lin Chen couldn’t help but guess upon hearing that Zhu Tong was also there. However, it was just a thought. Lin Chen respected this National Preceptor inwardly, but he did not wish to get involved with him. The relationship between the current National Master’s Institute and the Celestial Capital powers is definitely not a peaceful one. Therefore, it is not good for someone as insignificant as Lin Chen to be connected with the National Master’s Institute. "But why does the mentor spoil Bai Ling so much and not stop her from contacting Zhong Nan?" Lin Chen was puzzled, but instead of voicing his doubts, he tasked Bai Ling with how to make the purchases. "I understand, just buy you, as much as we can." "Okay." Lin Chen nodded and said, "After we win the money, I’ll split it with you." "No need, I’ll go with your bet too, just bet on you." Bai Ling revealed her teeth in a smile and said, "The casino limit is a hundred thousand. I’ll have the mentor give me a slot too, and I’ll place my bet." Hearing this, Lin Chen smiled and asked, "You trust me that much?" "Yes." Bai Ling nodded seriously and said, "You’re so strong, you’ll definitely win the championship." Lin Chen just smiled and said nothing more. If it’s the Cow King Competition, he still had some confidence. The confidence for the Beast Fighting Conference wasn’t as high because no matter how well Lin Chen performed, it ultimately depended on the team and the total points. is not that easy to win. A Celestial Shadow Guard knelt on one knee, gazing with utmost respect at the man in the room who had his back turned towards him. "Has he only met these few people in the past few days?" "Who are Liu Gu and Bai Ling?" "Liu Gu is a mentor in the Spirit Academy, and Bai Ling is his student. By the way, sir, Bai Ling is the student who was strongly backed by the Spirit Academy to capture the Unicorn." "How did they get into Riverview Tower?" "Liu Gu has another student named Lin Chen, who is a participant in this competition." The Celestial Shadow Guard quickly answered. The man finally turned around and said, "Do you find anything suspicious?" "Currently, there seems to be nothing suspicious." The Celestial Shadow Guard said. "You may leave now." The man waved his hand. "Yes." The Celestial Shadow Guard left respectfully. It was only after he left that a woman in cyan clothes appeared, kneeling respectfully and cupping her hands. "Go and investigate Bai Ling." "Yes, sir." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥 "You don’t even ask what to investigate her for?" "I will thoroughly investigate everything about her." The woman in cyan said. The man nodded, and as the woman in cyan rose, he suddenly said, "Inform the people of the Youlan Empire that I agree to their plan." "Sir..." Hearing this, the woman in cyan frowned. "Just follow my orders." The man said displeased, "And rest assured, I won’t take his life, I just want to know how long he can live."
