Chapter 1073: Chapter 1045: Because, I Like It

Fourth Grandpa’s last words made Li Chen thoughtful.

Be careful on the road... Li Chen didn’t think this sentence was a simple goodbye.

Third Grandpa is an Earth-Level Martial Artist, and now he is also an Earth-Level Martial Artist. So why be careful on the road? Even if he’s not careful, what would happen?

It was clear that this ’careless’ wouldn’t be so simple.

Thinking of this, Li Chen suppressed his originally relaxed mood about this journey.

No matter what, it’s better to be cautious.

Back at the villa in Linchuan, An Qin and Wang Qianqian happened to be there.

The two girls originally expressed that they both wanted to go together. If it was before, Li Chen might have considered it, but after hearing Third Grandpa’s meaningful advice, Li Chen immediately dismissed the idea.

He’s now an Earth-level Expert, and if even he needs to be careful, what if something happened to the two girls?

After decisively rejecting their requests, Li Chen then said, "Not many people should know about my return yet, so you should stay in Linchuan to help guard the house. If both of you run out, others will inevitably target you and then lock onto me."

During the last battle with the Lan Family, Li Chen had agreed with them to keep quiet and not reveal his return.

And Zi Zhao, who is his ally now, definitely wouldn’t reveal his whereabouts, so it indeed serves as a passable excuse.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s explanation, the two girls reluctantly agreed.

"Now you’re being obedient." Li Chen smiled as he approached the two girls: "Come, as a reward, I’ll give you a loving hug."

In the two girls’ blushing faces, Li Chen hugged them both.

Of course, the next moment, he was kicked away by An Qin.

As the two girls went upstairs one after another, the smile on Li Chen’s face gradually faded.

"Looks like I might encounter some interesting things this time."

...

"Got any news?"

"Yes, there’s confirmed news that a person suspected to be Li Chen appeared in Linchuan. However, at the time our people could only see him from afar, and he was shopping with a girl."

"The other pawn has been activated too, right?"

The man cloaked in a hooded coat nodded slightly: "Activated, and the target he aimed at seems to have already left their home, likely taken by the people from the Palace of the Nether King."

"It seems we have a strong reason to believe he’s definitely back." The man sitting on the bamboo chair gently rocked it, shook his crossed leg, and lifted the teacup on the table to take a sip.

"With that, his next steps should be confirmed." Putting down the tea, the man spoke to the hooded man kneeling in front of him: "Send someone to meet this Li Chen; it’s about time we have a face-to-face."

"I’m curious if that man’s son is as dazzling as expected."

"Yes, Master!"

The hooded man bowed, his figure flickered, and he vanished like a wisp of smoke.

"Li Changcun’s son, it’s hard not to be a bit excited, just hoping not to be disappointed." The man shook his crossed leg, lay back down, and the bamboo chair rocked again.

...

Hongmeng Pavilion.

"Did you hear, we’ve got a genius recently!"

"What genius, Hongmeng Pavilion lacks everything except geniuses, we don’t really need that."

"But this one is different!"

Within the Hongmeng Pavilion’s internal world, two young men were chatting while resting on the plains.

"You need to understand, most of us here have excellent inheritance. Who here isn’t a genius?"

"I’m telling you, this one is different! She was recruited from outside just a few months ago."

"Oh? From outside?"

"Yeah, she’s a girl, said to be extremely beautiful, but what’s even more amazing is her talent. In just a few months since entering Hongmeng Pavilion, she’s progressed from being a normal girl who hadn’t even stepped into the Yellow Rank, to the level of Mysterious Level Advanced Stage."

"Are you playing with me? Going from ordinary to Mysterious Level Advanced Stage in a few months, are you telling stories? I started martial arts practice at three years old, and I’m still only at Mysterious Level Beginner Stage!"

"I’m really not lying... Hey, go inquire around Jiuming Cliff, and you’ll find out."

The Enchanted World of Hongmeng Pavilion is a vast space, compared to the Yu Family’s Barrier World, which almost covers the size of a city district, in Hongmeng Pavilion’s eyes, it’s nothing.

According to the calculations of Hongmeng Pavilion’s internal staff, the space inside Hongmeng Pavilion is not inferior to a neighboring Island Country.

With a large territory, naturally, there are many divisions.

Recently, a genius entered Hongmeng Pavilion and shocked everyone.

But even though this genius is very famous, she’s not yet known by everyone.

At this moment, a girl was gracefully sitting atop a high mountain, quietly gazing at the swirling clouds along the mountainside.

"Daydreaming again?" A slightly teasing female voice came from behind the girl.

Upon hearing this voice, the girl turned her head slightly, helplessly said: "Can’t you stop being so elusive, Kiki!"

The girl strode over and sat beside her: "Wan’er, didn’t I tell you before, don’t call me by my nickname!"

"Then what should I call you?" Ouyang Wan’er blinked at the Qilin Princess and said: "Should I call you Ji Ji? That’s... not good, right?"

"Oh, come on!" The Qilin Princess extended a finger and punched Ouyang Waner’s smooth forehead, angrily saying: "You’re the Ji Ji! Wan’er, when did you become so bad? Is it because Li Chen influenced you?"

Upon hearing it, Ouyang Wan’er gently turned her head and continued to look at the clouds below: "It’s nothing to do with Brother Cheen, I thought of it myself."

Seeing Ouyang Waner’s expression, the Qilin Princess sighed inwardly, she was naturally aware of Ouyang Waner’s feelings.

Here, although Ouyang Wan’er is hailed as a once-in-a-century genius, only she knows that these so-called reputations actually don’t matter to this girl.

All she wants is just...

Thinking of this, the Qilin Princess’s eyes also slightly dimmed, in a way, wasn’t she similar to Ouyang Wan’er?

"Wan’er, if you don’t want to stay here, I can take you away." After hesitating for a moment, the Qilin Princess spoke.

"No."

Ouyang Wan’er shook her head, showing a determined look that even surprised the Qilin Princess.

"I want to practice hard! Now Brother Cheen is getting farther and farther away, if I don’t work hard, I won’t be able to keep up with his pace."

"Why are you doing this?" The Qilin Princess sighed.

"No reason." Ouyang Wan’er shook her head, then smiled: "Because, I like it!"

Like?

Like what?

The answer was self-evident.

The Qilin Princess smiled bitterly, and soon her gaze unconsciously drifted to the clouds below, her eyes becoming somewhat confused.
