Lin Chen naturally couldn't tell Mu Tianjun the truth. After all, Mu Tianjun was still a staunch subordinate of the Immortal Emperor.
For some reasons, Mu Tianjun had different views on the three Immortal Lords. Therefore, he might have some sympathy for Lin Chen, but that didn't mean he would truly stand on Lin Chen's side in any significant matter.
He was always on the side of the Immortal Emperor!
It was like the human world's dynasty, where the Immortal Emperor was the emperor, and Mu Tianjun was the emperor's trusted minister. The three princes were vying openly and secretly for the position of the crown prince. Because of some incidents, Lin Chen caught Mu Tianjun's eye, and the three princes also tried to win Lin Chen over, leading to conflicts.
In such a situation, Lin Chen was in a difficult position. Mu Tianjun would sympathize, but he would not confront the three princes head-on, let alone help Lin Chen to deal with the princes.
