Chapter 234: The Son of Destiny

"Disciple pays respects to Master."

In the Green Bamboo Courtyard, Gu Chen kneeled in front of Zhong Lin. His clothes were somewhat disheveled, and there was a bloodstain on his chest, suggesting that he had endured no small amount of hardship coming from Linyue County to the Sword Cauldron Sect.

He had just barely consolidated his Qi-Blood, and this journey spanned thousands of miles, so a young lad like him would naturally attract unwanted attention.

This was also Zhong Lin's test for him, to see if Gu Chen was truly the "protagonist" of legend.

"Stand up! Does your shoulder still hurt?" Zhong Lin asked.

"Ah!"

Gu Chen abruptly looked up at Zhong Lin, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Zhong Lin picked up his tea cup and took a light sip, "Later, find your Martial Aunt to get some ointment. An arrow wound can penetrate deeply; don't let it harm your tendons and bones."
