Lin Chen admitted he was tempted.
Entering the Kutuo Sea to rescue Shangguan Wenyin had several benefits, first, he could obtain the cultivation technique that absorbed the power of wishes, second, find a way to resolve the fluctuations of the Primordial Xuan Water Technique, and third, obtain the Magical Clam Pearl that would assist in Breaking the Realm.
With that being the case, why not go for it?
Lin Chen did not immediately agree, but said he would need to think it over.
Seeing Lin Chen contemplating, Li Yunruo became somewhat anxious, fearing that he would ultimately refuse. In a bid to convince him, she quickly added another bargaining chip.
"Mr. Lin, as long as you're willing to act and save Big Brother Shangguan, you can state any conditions, and as long as I can make it happen, I will agree," she said.
Lin Chen wasn't trying to take advantage of her but wanted to confirm the veracity of the matter as well as the details about the Kutuo Sea.
