Although the mbers of the Lishan Sect were filled with doubts in their hearts, they did not stop their steps and quickly walked towards the main gate.
At this mont, Su Chen and his companions had also entered inside. Although the gatekeepers had not t Qin Nishang and Dugu Mingyue before, they had heard of the reputations of these two won in the Ancient Martial World, and dared not make them wait at the entrance.
"Miss Qin, Miss Dugu, I sincerely apologize!"
Li Yuannan, upon seeing the two won, bowed from a distance and said with a smile:
"I didn't know you were coming, forgive for the oversight!"
He then looked at Su Chen, who stood between the two won, pondering who this individual was as he had not seen him before.
"Sect Master Li, you're too kind."
Qin Nishang replied with a smile.
Dugu Mingyue rely smiled faintly without saying a word.
Then Li Yuannan invited the three of them into a reception hall, as it was inappropriate to discuss matters standing at the gate.
The reception hall was spacious, with two rows of chairs placed against the wall.
Su Chen and his companions sat down on the right side, with Su Chen still seated between the two won. Seeing their seating arrangent, Li Yuannan and other key mbers of the Lishan Sect felt even more puzzled!
Subsequently, Li Yuannan and other mbers of the Lishan Sect took their seats on either side, with Li Yuannan naturally sitting in the main seat in the center.
At this mont, two servants entered, each pouring a cup of tea for everyone.
Li Yuannan waved his hand, and the two servants exited. It was then that he began to speak:
"I wonder what brings all of you here suddenly?"
Qin Nishang smiled and said:
"Actually, Miss Dugu and I are accompanying him; he has so business with your sect."
Dugu Mingyue nodded in agreent to this statent.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuannan and the mbers of the Lishan Sect were montarily stunned!
These two distinguished young won were accompanying this young man?
Who exactly was this young man?
Soone who could warrant their accompanint?!
"Oh, right, I forgot to ask, who might you be? I don't recall eting you. Also, what business do you have with our Lishan Sect?"
Li Yuannan had intended to wait for Qin Nishang and Dugu Mingyue to introduce the young man, but since they hadn't, he took the opportunity to inquire.
Once he spoke, everyone turned their gaze to Su Chen, equally intrigued.
"My na is Su Chen. I've co here on behalf of your granddaughter."
Su Chen stood up and said with a gentle smile.
No matter what, one must first maintain decorum!
"My granddaughter?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuannan was stunned.
Not only him, but the others were also taken aback.
"Could it be that Old Man Li has forgotten he has a granddaughter?"
Su Chen replied with a slight smile:
"I've co this ti at your granddaughter's request, hoping you could release your daughter and Pei Chen."
Pei Man's father is indeed nad Pei Chen.
When he heard this, Li Yuannan understood. In fact, Su Chen had suddenly brought it up earlier, so he hadn't reacted imdiately!
However, the other disciples of the Lishan Sect were deeply shocked and carefully looked at Li Yuannan!
Because in the Lishan Sect, this was a taboo topic, one that no one could ntion!
Yet they hadn't expected this young stranger to bring it up upon arrival!
At this mont, a flash of struggle appeared on Li Yuannan's face but was quickly hidden. He then looked towards Qin Nishang and Dugu Mingyue:
"Are the two of you here for this matter as well?"
"Old Master Pei, that's your own flesh and blood daughter. It's been so many years; shouldn't you let go of your grudge?"
Qin Nishang also spoke softly:
"Release them, and enjoy the happiness of family together."
"Sect Master Li, at your age, is there anything you cannot let go of?"
Dugu Mingyue said calmly.
Upon hearing this, another hint of hesitation and struggle flickered over Li Yuannan's face, even revealing a trace of pain!
Su Chen noticed the change in his expression, secretly delighted, thinking that the old man still had feelings for his family, which would make things easier!
But suddenly, as if struck by a thought, Li Yuannan's face darkened, and he turned to Su Chen:
"What do you an today? Bringing two esteed guests, are you intending to use them to pressure ?"
Su Chen, who had just felt joyful, was instantly baffled upon hearing these words!
He was about to explain, but Li Yuannan spoke coldly again:
"The affairs of my Lishan Sect are not ddled with by outsiders!"
"Whether it's the Qin Family or Tianyin Palace, although my Lishan Sect may not be as powerful as yours, if you think of teaming up to dominate my sect, you are mistaken!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was completely stunned!
He had anticipated that Li Yuannan might be quite stubborn and difficult to persuade, but he hadn't expected the old man's thought process to be this peculiar!
He invited Qin Nishang and Dugu Mingyue to give them face, and if things were awkward, to suggest they consider it for the sake of the Qin Family and Tianyin Palace!
But he hadn't thought that the old man would interpret it as bringing Dugu Mingyue and Qin Nishang to pressure him!
Not only was he stunned, but Qin Nishang and Dugu Mingyue were also sowhat bewildered!
Because they knew, Su Chen didn't an that!
Qin Nishang thought to herself: No wonder everyone says, although Old Man Li is a good person, he's a rigid thinker; nothing can change his mind!
Qin Nishang had only heard tales before, but today she truly witnessed it!
Of course, without this mindset, he likely wouldn't have kept his daughter confined for over twenty years!
Though he may not feel good about it, changing this decision isn't easy!
"Sect Master Li, I didn't an it like that, I..."
"Enough, you all go! Don't bring up this matter again in the future!"
Su Chen intended to explain, but Li Yuannan wouldn't listen at all and directly issued an order to leave!
Su Chen also felt a rise of anger, having put in so much effort for a peaceful resolution only to be t with this outco!
He snorted:
"Let tell you, if I truly wanted to pressure your Lishan Sect, I wouldn't have invited them to accompany , I'd have co alone!"
These words, tinged with a bit of heated truth, thoroughly angered Li Yuannan, the stubborn old man!
Upon hearing this, the other mbers of the Lishan Sect also felt a slight irritation!
What did he an by this?
Is he claiming that he alone can dominate our Lishan Sect?
Who does he think he is, so arrogant and conceited!
"Kid, do you think my Lishan Sect is made of clay?"
Li Yuannan stood up in a flash, his imposing aura emanating!
