Chapter 1163: Chapter 1135: Still Have to Fight
This voice did not instill much confidence in the disciples of the Hongng Pavilion from the Zeng Family; on the contrary, it made many furrow their brows.
After all, everyone here was a disciple of the Hongng Pavilion, and relatively speaking, Li Chen was rely an outsider. Now, with Chu Xi questioning Ouyang Wan’er, Li Chen suddenly spoke up, which seed sowhat out of place.
Li Chen, of course, was not soone who couldn’t read the room; he just felt there was no need to continue wasting ti.
From Chu Xi’s words, he could also discern that the two groups had already spent an entire morning here, and if this continued, how long would it take?
With that ti, he might as well get so extra sleep.
Moreover, Li Chen had no intention of winning the favor of these martial artists who had just erged from the Ivory Tower.
Indeed, these elite disciples of the Hongng Pavilion, considered promising youths, seed to Li Chen to be nothing more than a group of students just stepping out of the Ivory Tower.
They trained and grew in a comfortable environnt, oblivious to the cruelty of the world.
Whether martial artists or ordinary people, the world treats everyone with the sa harshness.
If not for the Hongng Pavilion’s presence behind these people, Li Chen suspected the opposing group would have made a move long ago.
Although they appeared chaotic, like a motley crew, Li Chen was a hundred percent sure that if a fight broke out, these guys would turn into a pack of ferocious wolves.
Only those who have truly experienced the world’s harshness understand that among martial artists, there’s never any leniency; it’s always about eradicating the roots!
Li Chen understood this clearly, and he believed those ‘motley crew’ mbers did too.
They were willing to wait, probably because they wanted to wait until all the disciples of the Hongng Pavilion were gathered, and then wipe them out. This way, they wouldn’t leak any information. Even if the Hongng Pavilion investigated, without evidence, there would be nothing they could do.
“Who are you? What right do you have to make decisions for Junior Sister Wan’er?” Xiang Fan was the first to retort after hearing Li Chen’s words.
Those around also chid in.
When they couldn’t follow alongside Ouyang Wan’er and the others, it was already disappointing. Now, seeing an unknown man with Ouyang Wan’er, they felt even more resentful.
Upon hearing Xiang Fan’s words, Li Chen just smiled faintly: “?”
“I’m Wan’er’s fiancé, and it’s been decided since childhood. So, do you think I have the right to speak for her?”
As soon as these words were out, silence fell.
One could hear a pin drop, perfectly describing the current situation.
All the disciples of the Hongng Pavilion couldn’t help but gape in shock at Li Chen, and then at Ouyang Wan’er.
The talented female disciple they had always been fond of, gentle and charming, approachable, nearly perfect Junior Sister Wan’er, actually had a fiancé?!
For them, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
“I don’t believe it!” Xiang Fan shouted first.
“Whether it’s true or not is not for you to decide.” Li Chen shook his head and then pointed to a spot not far away: “I think now is not the ti for us to discuss this issue, is it?”
At this mont, the group opposite, seeing that the disciples of the Hongng Pavilion had stopped calling for reinforcents, began to stir restlessly.
“Are they all here?” Two people at the forefront exchanged glances and secretly used sound transmission to communicate.
“Not sure, but it’s probably about ti.” Another person whispered back using sound transmission: “The Hongng Pavilion is not easy to provoke. Since we’re prepared to act, we must do it perfectly; otherwise, if we leave a flaw, no matter how vast the world, we might not find a place to hide.”
“Yeah, since we’re doing this, we must do it perfectly with no flaws left behind!” The third person also said in a sinister voice.
These three were the first to discover the Heart-Cleansing Lotus.
They were also the ones who, after clashing with the disciples of the Hongng Pavilion, called over this large group.
“The Heart-Cleansing Lotus is indeed a good thing. I’ve been stuck at Black Rope for more than ten years, and with this, I might directly break through to Crowd Harmony!”
“And the Heart-Cleansing Lotus is enough for the three of us to use. Compared to breaking through in strength, taking the risk is worth it!”
“Those other guys are either fools, fooled by our words, or moved by the benefits we promised. With these guys, if things go wrong, there’s soone to take the fall.”
The three of them exchanged glances and simultaneously let out a sinister smile, continuing to shout with the crowd, appearing as if they had no sches whatsoever.
“Hey! What exactly do you want? Do the Hongng Pavilion disciples think they can bully others with their power?”
“This Heart-Cleansing Lotus was initially discovered by the three of us brothers. You think just because you’re Hongng Pavilion’s disciples, you can take it by force? Not so easy! Let tell you, the Martial Artist World of Huaxia is not a place for your Hongng Pavilion to dominate!”
“Yes, exactly!”
“Down with the oppressive Hongng Pavilion! Defeat those bullies!”
Hearing the increasingly ugly words, the faces of the disciples from the Hongng Pavilion turned even uglier.
However, at this mont, Li Chen stepped forward before the crowd of Hongng Pavilion disciples.
“What’s he planning to do?” Chu Xi’s face was confused. She was about to rush up to stop Li Chen from being impulsive when she was held back by Ouyang Wan’er beside her.
“Senior Sister, trust him. Brother Chen never does anything aningless.”
Seeing Ouyang Wan’er’s unwavering trust, Chu Xi hesitated for a mont but eventually didn’t stop Li Chen. She even restrained the other disciples beside her.
She, too, wanted to see what this man of unknown origin planned to do in this situation.
“You say this Heart-Cleansing Lotus was discovered by you?” Li Chen asked, looking at the bustling group of martial artists.
“They’re lying. We discovered it first, and they ca afterward!” a youthful-looking Hongng Pavilion disciple shouted loudly.
“Yes, it was clearly Senior Brother Yu and I who discovered it first!” another girl quickly added.
A man with a stubbly face among the three in front on the opposite side nonchalantly spoke: “You say you discovered it first, but what evidence do you have?”
Hearing this, Li Chen almost burst out laughing.
“And what evidence do you have to say you were the first to discover it?”
“This…” The man was montarily at a loss for words, and his stubbly face turned sowhat stiff.
“Actually, there’s a simple solution to this.”
Li Chen looked at everyone: “For martial artists, whoever has the bigger fist wins the argunt. You’ve wasted so much ti here, and in the end, won’t it co down to a fight?”
Li Chen turned back and gave a slight smile to the disciples of the Hongng Pavilion.
“Isn’t that right?”
