Tidal Faction

A lower-medium tier ancient faction, Tidal Faction’s overall size was not very big. From top down, there were about only 200 to 300 people in total.

But, of course, these two to three hundred people were superior in caliber compared to the common faction.

Take China’s number-one faction Xuanjian for example. They had a total of over 10 thousand disciples in their faction, but were no match for a mere 300 Tidal Faction disciples.

That was the true difference between an ancient faction and the average faction.

However, Chen Xiaobei no longer placed importance on this level of factions anymore.

Kunlun Faction! Rothschild family! Northern Wilderness Temple!

All these top-tier authorities were the ones Chen Xiaobei needed to prioritize!

Especially Northern Wilderness Temple! In the long run, this supreme power that ruled over Northern Wilderness was something Chen Xiaobei had to pursue, and maybe even overtake!

The heavenly realm that Chen Xiaobei’s heart was set on was an even higher-ranking starfield than Northern Wilderness! To be able to get there, Chen Xiaobei would most probably havewhy to use Northern Wilderness as his launching pad!

If Chen Xiaobei’s strength and power could not reach that of the Northern Wilderness Temple’s, then he would not qualify for the heavenly realm!

Moreover, Chen Xiaobei had learnt through White Fox about the Northern Wilderness Temple’s barbaric scheme to maintain their control over the planets. With a temple like this, there was a chance that Chen Xaiobei might precipitate a massive conflict! That was one of the main reasons why Chen Xiaobei had to surpass the Northern Wilderness Temple!

“Brother-in-law! What are you doing? Come out and take a look! This island is so beautiful! It looks like a fairyland! Come and see! Don’t hide yourself in the cabin!” Lin Nan urged.

“Calm down, it’s nothing to get all excited about.” Chen Xiaobei got up slowly, as if the fairyland in which Lin Nan was all fired up over did not interest him at all.

Seeing this, Elder Jiu praised Chen Xiaobei in his heart for his disposition and sagacity!

Chen Xiaobei and Lin Nan were only a few years apart in age, but Lin Nan’s reaction to Tidal Faction was childlike whereas Chen Xiaobei’s reaction was sensible like a pragmatic old man!

By comparing the two, Elder Jiu was even more convinced now that Chen Xiaobei was a person who had seen it all! Firm in his disposition and perspicacious in his outlook! To be acquainted with a person so notable was fortuitous!

Once he stepped out of the cabin, Chen Xiaobei saw Tidal Faction being laid out before him.

It was a pretty decent moderately-sized island, covered in lush greenery. Under the radiant sunlight, dotted in between the overgrown trees were Chinese-style pavilions that had an ethereal appeal to them.

To a commoner’s eyes, this was paradise!

But to Chen Xiaobei who had journeyed to Northern Wilderness Starfield which expanded his worldview, the island before him was nothing out of the ordinary.

“Leader of Tidal Faction, Lin Chaoyin, and the 216 disciples of our faction welcomes Mr. Chen to our island!”

As the yacht drew near the port, a middle-aged woman greeted them. Standing behind her in a neat formation were about 200 people. They had arrived earlier to prepare in advance for Chen Xiaobei’s arrival.

“Mr. Chen! I didn’t know that you have such prominence in an ancient faction!” Elder Jiu said, smiling.

“Elder Jiu, don’t compliment me.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “Lin Chaoyin is only afraid of me because she knows that I am friends with Focker. Frankly, the one she should be afraid of is Focker!”

“That’s because Lin Chaoyin’s judgement is impaired! She can’t tell the difference between what’s important and what’s not!” Elder Jiu frowned. “How can Focker be placed on par with Mr. Chen? I’ll teach her a lesson!”

“There’s no need for that! Lin Chaoyin fears Focker but she has never treated me with disrespect. There’s no need to make a fuss!”

“If that’s the case, then I won’t be getting off the boat. Lest, might Lin Chaoyin’s common sense fail her and cause her to neglect Mr. Chen!”

Lin Chaoyin knew Elder Jiu. If Elder Jiu had disembarked with them, the odds of her placing precedence on him and slighting Chen Xiaobei was high.

“You have a point there, Elder Jiu. Then I’ll have to trouble you to wait for me in the cabin!”

“That would be my pleasure!” Elder Jiu smiled as he made his way back into the cabin.

When the yacht finally reached the shore, only Chen Xiaobei and Lin Nan got off.

“Faction Leader Lin! You are too kind! This is such a big effort on your part! I’m feeling a little embarrassed by all this!” Chen Xiaobei said with a smile on his face.

This was the first time Lin Nan witnessed something like this. It intimidated him a little so he followed quietly and closely behind Chen Xiaobei.

“Mr. Chen is an honoured guest! If it were not for you, I wouldn’t have been able to meet Master Focker and the esteemed Hades.” Lin Chaoyin smiled back. “Please don’t feel embarrassed, Mr. Chen. Treat this place as your own. Do as you please!”

“Then I’ll just speak candidly. Bring me to see Lin Xiang. I haven’t seen her for so long, I really miss her!”

“Distance makes the heart grows fonder! I understand what Mr. Chen means!” Lin Chaoyin said. “I knew that Mr. Chen is coming so I informed Shimei Lin beforehand. Let’s head to Tidal Cave now, she’ll be coming out soon!”

“Go ahead and dismiss your disciples! Xiang Xiang is very shy. She won’t feel comfortable with so many people around!”

“Alright!” Lin Chaoyin waved at the group of men behind her. “You are dismissed! Go and continue your cultivation! Don’t idle!”

Immediately, everyone made themselves scarce save one. The expression on her face was one of confusion.

“Wei Shenjing?” Chen Xiaobei recognized her.

“Mr. Chen has a such good memory! She is Wei Shenjing!” Lin Chaoyin said. “Jingjing! What are you doing just standing there? Is there something you want to say?

“Huh?” Wei Shenjing looked surprised, shook her head and said, “I don’t have anything to say. I will leave now!”

“Mm.”

Lin Chaoyin nodded, brushing it off.

Chen Xiaobei sensed that something was amiss but because there was no definitive proof and because he was eager to see Lin Xiang, he did not probe further.

After that, Lin Chaoying brought Chen Xiaobei and Lin Nan to Tidal Cave.

“The interior of this cave is the heart of the island’s underground Spiritual Path. The Spiritual Qis in there are dense and very suitable for cultivation!” Lin Chaoying explained. “Previously, only the disciples who had contributed greatly to the faction and I are allowed to access it. But now, we’ve reserved it for Shimei Lin to use!”

“That is very generous of you, Faction Leader Lin. I want to thank you on behalf of Lin Xiang.” Chen Xiaobei said.

“You are all one of us. There’s no need to thank me!” Lin Chaoying replied politely.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “Look! That’s Shimei Lin!”
