Chapter 2483: They Finally Meet

Jian Chen stood with his hands behind his back at the entrance of the Donglin clan, waiting there quietly.

Very soon, the attendant returned to the main entrance. He glanced at Jian Chen and waved his hand coldly. “Go back to where you came from. Don’t stick around. The entrance of our Donglin clan is not a place that just anyone can loiter around.”

If it were before, the attendant really would have doubted if this person knew the young miss, so he did not dare to offend him too much. However, now that he had met with Qiu Han, he was completely carefree.

After all, Qiu Han was the personal attendant who had been with the young lady for the longest. If even Qiu Han had not heard of this so-called acquaintance from Moon’s Reflection Lake, he obviously did not exist.

As a result, the attendant showed no politeness at all towards Jian Chen after confirming who the latter was.

Jian Chen sighed inside. He knew the attendant did not really pass his message onto Donglin Yanxue, or it would have been impossible for her to not see him.

However, he had no other choice either. After all, he needed to keep his identity concealed. He could not expose his strength, forcing him to take actions that would not raise a lot of attention. Otherwise, with his identity as a Primordial realm expert, he had the right to enter the Donglin clan even if he could not see Donglin Yanxue.

“It looks like I need to come up with another method,” thought Jian Chen. He turned around and was about to leave.

However, at this moment, an intense ball of light suddenly descended, shining like the sun.

Donglin Yanxue stood within the light, obscured by it from time to time.

“It’s miss Yanxue. It’s actually miss Yanxue…”

“Miss Donglin Yanxue, we finally meet…”

“It’s almost impossible for us to meet with miss Donglin Yanxue. I never thought miss Donglin Yanxue would actually come out herself…”

…

The eyes of all the visitors gathered at the entrance lit up. They immediately became elated.

Immediately, all the young masters from the peak organisations and the princes of everlasting empires smiled amiably to show off their charm, presenting themselves before Donglin Yanxue in the most perfect manner possible.

In the blink of an eye, a large group of people gathered beside Donglin Yanxue. She seemed like the centre of attention.

“Greetings, young miss!” All the guards and attendants at the entrance of the Donglin clan bowed.

Donglin Yanxue slowly dispersed the light around her. Her eyes were filled with undisguised excitement and eagerness as she glanced past everyone. There was also some fear and worry in her eyes.

She was very afraid and very worried that she had come for nothing and would not meet the person she wanted to see.

In other words, perhaps another person had learnt about what happened at the Moon’s Reflection Lake, and she had reached the wrong conclusion.

To Donglin Yanxue’s disappointment, she failed to see the person she always wanted to see in the crowd.

“H- h- has he already left?” At this moment, Dongling Yanxue became rather gloomy. She felt her heart hollow out as she was unable to hide her disappointment.

“It has been many years. Miss Yanxue’s beauty is even greater than before. I wonder if you still remember me, a past acquaintance of yours?” At this moment, a voice rang out.

Donglin Yanxue subconsciously looked over to where the voice came from. It had come from a white-robed middle-aged man who seemed to be in his forties.

She had never seen this middle-aged man before. She had no impression of him at all. However, when she made eye contact with the middle-aged man, she immediately became stunned.

She could feel a vague sense of familiarity from the middle-aged man. It seemed to overlap with the figure in her head perfectly.

“Are you?” Donglin Yanxue’s heart trembled gently as she asked with uncertainty. She failed to realise that there were still many young masters of great status gathered around her. All she saw was that foreign figure.

Jian Chen nodded with a smile in his disguise as a middle-aged man. He did not answer her.

However, his calm demeanour immediately excited Donglin Yanxue. She looked at Jian Chen deeply as memories and joy rose up in the depths of her eyes.

Jian Chen knew that Donglin Yanxue had already recognized him. He looked around at the surroundings to remind Donglin Yanxue about the circumstances they were currently in.

Donglin Yanxue immediately snapped back to her senses and understood that Jian Chen did not want to expose himself yet. She immediately calmed down, regaining her composure before saying to Jian Chen, “Come in.”

With that, Donglin Yanxue did not glance at Jian Chen again. She turned around and disappeared into the Donglin clan.

“Miss Yanxue, miss Yanxue…” Behind, the visitors and young masters all called out, but Donglin Yanxue did not look back at all. She completely ignored them.

Jian Chen remained at ease, entering the Donglin clan with great composure under the countless envious and jealous gazes. The guards no longer dared to stop him.

“H- h- he actually knows the young lady. Oh no, oh no…” The attendant who had received Jian Chen had already paled from fright. As soon as he thought about how he had treated Jian Chen before, he felt the world around him turn. He felt like the sky was going to collapse on him.

“Who’s that? Why is he allowed to see miss Yanxue while I’m not?”

“Strange. Why do I feel like miss Donglin Yanxue personally came just for him…”

…

A soft discussion immediately sprang up at the entrance of the Donglin clan after Jian Chen had left. The faces of many young masters became rather sunken.

“Investigate his identity. Let’s see what his background is…” Many people immediately passed down orders.

Donglin Yanxue did not walk far after she entered the Donglin clan. Instead, she stood in the distance and stared towards the entrance. She waited for Jian Chen.

As a result, as soon as Jian Chen entered the Donglin clan, he saw her standing below a large tree.

“Here is not a place to talk. Come with me.” Donglin Yanxue beckoned Jian Chen and brought him to her residence.

“Young miss, young miss, the ancestor…” At this moment, Qiu Han ran over. She glanced at Jian Chen curiously before telling Donglin Yanxue with some unease.

“I have something important today, so I won’t be going. Qiu Han, don’t let anyone disturb me today, including my father, understood?” Donglin Yanxue said in an order-like fashion. Her voice was rather cold.

“Y- yes, young miss…” Qiu Han replied politely. She secretly studied Jian Chen as she was filled with suspicion.

Jian Chen followed behind Donglin Yanxue and arrived at her residence before entering a small, wooden building.

The building was primarily decorated in pink. It was possible to tell with a single glance that it was where Donglin Yanxue stayed.
