After a pause, he said softly, "Haven't you been advised? A Saint's reincarnation and tribulation crossing is not something mortal power can resist. You were told not to force it, yet why couldn't we convince you?"
Chen Yan glanced at Lin Qingquan and shook his head, "You don't understand."
However, he then took a deep breath, stepped back two steps, and respectfully bowed to Lin Qingquan.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin Sr., for taking such care of me. I am grateful here!"
"No need to thank me. I took the benefit of someone and exerted effort for them—it's my duty," Lin Qingquan turned sideways, signaling he wouldn't accept the courtesy, yet added, "In the future, don't be so reckless. Do you know how many people put in effort just for your matters?"
Chen Yan raised an eyebrow, with a half-smile, "Oh? Effort for me? Shouldn't I just be a tool in the Saint's tribulation crossing?"
