231: Chapter 230: I Am Immortal Master Li!
【Second Update】 231: Chapter 230: I Am Immortal Master Li!
【Second Update】 Hearing the rapid-fire questioning from the Tang Family, Li Chen felt speechless.
Ye Chuxue saw that Li Chen had beco the target of everyone’s criticism and hurriedly ca out to defend him.
“Uncle, Li Chen is only trying to help, why are you talking about him like this?”
“Heh, I’m just afraid that goodwill can lead to bad deeds.
How does that saying go again?
I’m not afraid of an opponent who is like a wolf, but I fear a teammate who is like a pig!”
The person speaking was Tang Zhikang.
He was Ye Chuxue’s older cousin, and he often ridiculed Li Chen, who ca from a poor family, taking advantage of his status as a descendant of an aristocratic family.
He had even mocked Li Chen’s background several tis before.
Li Chen’s face clearly showed anger, but considering this was Ye Chuxue’s maternal grandmother’s ho, he felt it would look very ugly to openly turn against them.
It was also difficult for Chuxue and Aunt Tang, caught in the middle.
“I said it won’t be a problem, and there definitely won’t be!”
Seeing Li Chen’s confident oath, Tang Zhikang sneered and said, “Li Chen, who do you think you are?
Immortal Master Li, just say there’s no problem and there won’t be any?”
Li Chen rubbed the tip of his nose, admitting it openly.
“What you said isn’t wrong, I am Immortal Master Li!”
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, three seconds of silence fell over the entire hall.
Then, Tang Zhikang burst into a loud laugh.
“Haha, Li Chen, you’re hilarious.
If you’re Immortal Master Li, then I’m the Huaxia War God Li Lingtian.
Scared yet?”
Li Chen looked at Tang Zhikang as if he were looking at an idiot, helplessly shook his head, and said, “Ah, sumr insects cannot speak of ice.”
After that, he turned and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Ye Chuxue hurriedly followed him.
“Li Chen, my older cousin is just that kind of person, don’t stoop to his level!”
Although Ye Chuxue also disliked Tang Zhikang, who always acted like an idiotic millionaire, he was family after all, and she didn’t want him to get into trouble because of this.
Li Chen shrugged and said, “Don’t worry, I can’t be bothered to deal with an ant-like character!”
“Xue’er, you go back in and keep Grandma company.
I have to take care of so things outside!”
“What are you going to do outside?
You’re not going to get into a fight again, are you?” Ye Chuxue looked into Li Chen’s eyes, full of worry.
Li Chen shook his head and said, “No, with the whole area south of the Yangtze River worshipping alone now, who would I go fight?”
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly rembered sothing and said, “Oh, I almost forgot.
There’s one more person!”
Ye Chuxue asked nervously, “Who?
Li Lingtian?
I heard from Zhiyong that he’s very powerful, even more so than the Dragon Family Ancestor.
He’s undefeated in thirty years and is revered as the Huaxia War God, an invincible legend.
Don’t provoke him!”
Li Chen knew Ye Chuxue was worried about him, so he just chuckled and shook his head, “Not him.
Li Lingtian might have already entered the God Realm, I’m not his opponent yet.
As long as he doesn’t provoke , I definitely won’t seek trouble with him!”
Ye Chuxue sighed in relief and curiously asked, “If it’s not Li Lingtian, then who is it?”
Li Chen did not answer directly, instead, he pointed a finger at Ye Chuxue.
Ye Chuxue was initially startled, but when she recalled what Li Chen had said to her on the broken bridge, she imdiately burst into a bright smile.
“Hehe, I almost forgot about myself.
Can you call ‘Your Majesty the Empress’ to hear it?”
Looking at Ye Chuxue’s smiling face, Li Chen very seriously said, “Willing to join Empress in the seven-foot bed, to share the Wushan Cloud Rain, may I?”
“Li Chen, you’re such a pain.
If I don’t hit you for three days, you’ll climb the roof and strip the tiles, won’t you?”
Ye Chuxue, hearing Li Chen’s vulgar words, lifted her leg to kick him.
Li Chen dodged to the side and said, “Hey, Xue’er.
If you want the worldly society, I’ll give you one.
If you want the world, I’ll give you one.
Right now, I just want a child, but you are even stingy about that.
Isn’t that being too an?”
Seeing Li Chen has dragged the topic to children, Ye Chuxue’s pretty face couldn’t help but beco fiery hot.
“Hmph, Li Chen, you lecher!”
After a bout of playful fighting in the courtyard, Li Chen suddenly hugged Ye Chuxue and planted a firm kiss on her face.
“Xue’er, go keep Grandma company first!”
Ye Chuxue’s face turned red as she asked, “What about you?”
Li Chen pointed in the direction of the bathroom and said, “What else can I do but turn on the water.
Do you want to join?
My treat!”
Seeing Li Chen start with his nonsense again, Ye Chuxue’s face darkened.
“Hmph, you’re disgusting, go by yourself.
I’m going to accompany Grandma!”
After watching Ye Chuxue return to the hall, Li Chen turned and walked towards the front door.
The Long Family at this mont was draped in white mourning garb.
An upper-class pearwood coffin was placed in the center of the hall, with a bold character “Condolences” striking to the eye, surrounded by various types of floral wreaths.
The once bustling Long Family was now on the brink of collapse, everyone bearing expressions as if mourning a great loss.
Family Head Long Wuhen, second brother Long Wujiang, Think Tank Chen Buyi, along with a host of senior mbers, were all gathered in the hall.
However, the deathly still atmosphere now, compared to ten days ago, was heaven and hell apart.
Ten days ago, Long Wuhen was filled with ambition.
He audaciously planned to defeat Immortal Master Li on West Lake, seize the formula for the Life Spirit Spring, and then smoothly take over the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance.
Using that as a stepping stone, he wanted to challenge Li Lingtian from the Imperial Capital.
But he never expected to be defeated so utterly, without even a chance to turn the situation around.
He was seriously injured himself, and the Long Family’s powerful masters, who were Half-step Innate and above and supported by a huge expenditure over many years, were nearly wiped out.
Most fatal of all, as the pillar and support of the Long Family, the Dragon Family Ancestor, was also defeated by Li Chen, shedding blood over West Lake.
“Big brother, what should we do now?” The Long Family’s Old Four, naturally timid, asked with a tremble.
“Big brother, hasn’t that person in the Imperial Capital long coveted Jiangnan’s fertile lands?
We can ask him for help.
When two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt.
By then, we might have a chance to turn the situation around!”
Long Family’s Old Three, though diocre in talent, was notoriously ruthless and heartless.
Ever since his only son Long Tian had his legs crippled by Li Chen, he harbored a deep grudge against Donghua Li Immortal Master.
Long Wuhen was undecided for a mont and subconsciously looked at Chen Buyi with an inquiring gaze.
“Think Tank, what’s your opinion?”
Chen Buyi thought for a mont, shook his head, and said, “Third Young Master’s thod is not appropriate!”
“Not to ntion whether the Imperial Capital Li Family is willing to lend a hand, even if they agreed to move south.
Third Young Master, do you think we, a beaten and battered remnant, could withstand a strike from Immortal Master Li?
Moreover, he has the support of the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance, the dical Saint Sect, and the Qin Family from Yanzhou behind him!”
“Once the news leaks and thereby provokes Immortal Master Li, our entire Long Family will face annihilation.
I fear not one of the more than three hundred lives will be spared!”
Upon hearing Chen Buyi’s words, everyone present shuddered.
“Chen Buyi, you’re frightening people with talk of doom!”
Old Three of the Long Family deliberately raised his voice in protest, but anyone could hear that his voice was shaking violently.
During the peak days of the Long Family, Chen Buyi never cared for this Third Young Master, who lacked ability but liked to make a scene.
And now, he cared even less about his accusations.
He turned to Long Wuhen and gave him a respectful bow, “Family Head, let us submit to Immortal Master Li!”
Long Wujiang was thoroughly frightened by Li Chen, and rembering the horrifying scene on West Lake during the day, he couldn’t help but shudder.
“Big brother, Think Tank is right.
The Qin Family from Yanzhou, after being defeated by Immortal Master Li, imdiately submitted to him.
Aren’t they now living comfortably?”
Long Wuhen sighed in sorrow, after offering three sticks of incense to his late father, he gave orders with a long sigh, “Think Tank, go contact Qin Tianlong and have him relay a ssage to Immortal Master Li.
Say that our Long Family is willing to submit to Immortal Master Li and be his nial dogs!”
“Old Four, you must imdiately take inventory of the family’s corporate assets, funds, and properties, for Immortal Master Li to review!”
Before Long Wuhen could finish arranging everything, a thunderous voice suddenly ca from outside the door.
“There’s no need for all this trouble, I’m already here!”
