Chapter 385: Chapter 360: The Suspicious Mu Yi

This scene elicited a series of gasps from the students present!

"Oh my God, Mu Yi’s shot went astray!"

"It looks like it’s going to hit someone!"

"If that hit had connected, it would have definitely caused death or serious injury!"

The spectators were also shocked; they all knew that a soccer ball could cause multiple injuries if it hit someone during flight, and most importantly, the distance between the ball and those two people was not far, meaning that if it did hit, it would most certainly cause serious injuries!

At this moment, Li Chen was chatting with Lin Xiaoxiao, but suddenly he felt a whooshing sound to his side!

"Brother-in-law, be careful!" Lin Xiaoxiao was frightened too, hurriedly warning Li Chen.

Li Chen glanced to the side and saw the soccer ball flying toward him, but his expression remained unchanged.

The audience started panicking: "Is this guy crazy? He’s not even trying to dodge?"

"Even if he wanted to dodge, he couldn’t at such a short distance, how could he dodge?"

In a moment, the students were all in a flurry, but what happened next left them utterly astonished!

Li Chen faced the oncoming soccer ball and then extended his right hand.

At the instant the soccer ball approached, his hand spread open, turning into a palm, and he caught the ball directly!

Yes, caught it directly!

The soccer ball, which had been spinning at high speed, was suddenly still, caught in his hand.

The stark contrast between before and after left the students rooted to the spot!

Silence, a silence so profound not even a bird chirped!

"Did I see that wrong?" A student rubbed his eyes vigorously, incredulous.

"That’s utterly incredible!" Another male student took in a sharp breath.

If it were only a ping pong ball spinning and flying toward you, then perhaps you could catch it directly with some effort, but with bigger balls like soccer and basketball, it’s practically impossible!

Even if a soccer or basketball wasn’t spinning, to catch it with an extended hand requires one non-negotiable condition — the palm must be able to open wide enough, only then can one grasp a soccer ball or basketball.

But that’s not all, the difficulty of catching a spinning soccer ball increases geometrically, especially with a struck soccer ball which carries a lot of force, and could easily knock a person over.

Yet, under such circumstances, Li Chen managed to catch the soccer ball without moving an inch, as though it was nothing at all.

The students in the stands were dumbfounded, and after a while, they started to discuss among themselves.

"Which college is this person from? He’s so badass."

"I don’t know, we’re too far away."

"If he were to become a goalkeeper, it would be phenomenal."

"You’re not wrong, I can already picture the scene, it’s like ’Kung Fu Soccer’."

The students carried on with their discussions, while Mu Yi was also startled and quickly ran over to the two of them.

"Brother-in-law, this guy was trying to commit murder." Lin Xiaoxiao, who was obviously furious, spoke up; that kick could have resulted in unimaginable consequences had it actually hit someone.

Li Chen also looked at the running figure without speaking.

"Classmate, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry." Mu Yi ran over, his face full of urgency, "I accidentally kicked it the wrong way, you weren’t hurt, were you?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was initially filled with rage, but upon seeing Mu Yi, she was momentarily taken aback.

She had never seen someone so good-looking.

With a sharply chiseled face, slightly long bangs slanted to one side, eyes full of sincerity and urgency, his entire visage seemed to step out of a painting, sweat from running glistened on his forehead, the white and blue jersey, and muscles exposed like a magnet.

So handsome!

For a moment, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed bewitched, staring at Mu Yi’s face in a daze.

She had never thought a man could be this handsome.

Li Chen looked at Mu Yi and observed his features, but something inexplicably made him frown; there was an indescribable aura about him that made Li Chen feel slightly uncomfortable.

"I didn’t mean to aim at you guys, I’m really sorry." Mu Yi repeated his apology and even bowed slightly to them, with an air of grace and elegance.

"It’s okay, we weren’t hurt anyway," Lin Xiaoxiao said from the side.

A smile appeared on Mu Yi’s face, "That’s a relief, I was worried you got hurt, so, can you give me back the soccer ball? The game needs to continue."

Li Chen was about to speak when Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Of course, no problem."

"Thank you so much," Mu Yi smiled again, "To show my appreciation, I could invite you to a movie when I’m free, or something else, as an apology."

"That’s very kind of you," Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to have become extremely polite as well.

"They’re calling me. If you have time, you can visit the international students’ dormitory; I live there." Mu Yi smiled lightly, then turned and left.

Seeing Mu Yi return to the field, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to stand still, watching his retreating figure.

"Brother-in-law, do you think he’s really handsome?"

Lin Xiaoxiao said.

A strange expression crossed Li Chen’s face. Was Xiaoxiao captivated by him?

Not believing it, Li Chen waved his hand in front of Lin Xiaoxiao, who rolled her eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Cough, it’s nothing." Li Chen muttered to himself, feeling she wasn’t completely mesmerized yet.

"We should get going," Li Chen said.

Lin Xiaoxiao shifted her gaze and sighed, "It’s such a pity. Men like that are really too few, gentlemen with good looks. He’s like something out of my childhood fantasies."

"How can they be few?" Li Chen said, looking at her infatuated expression. He snorted, "What’s that saying again? ’Life is full of handsome men, it’s just that you haven’t discovered the eyes for beauty.’"

Lin Xiaoxiao laughed, "If there really were handsome men everywhere, that would be great. But why haven’t I ever seen them?"

"How have you not seen them?" Li Chen said, "Haven’t you noticed? You have a suave, graceful, charming, smart, and tough perfect man right by your side."

Lin Xiaoxiao’s expression turned odd as she watched Li Chen shaking his head and said, "Brother-in-law, please don’t tell me you’re talking about yourself."

"Xiaoxiao, you’ve discovered it, huh? That’s right, your brother-in-law is astonishingly handsome, enough to shake the heavens and dim the sun and moon. How can that kid compare to me?" Li Chen said proudly.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Li Chen as he boasted about himself, which brought her joy, "Enough, brother-in-law. With that sleazy look of yours, how can you be considered handsome? Do you know why the sea water flows backward?"

Li Chen looked puzzled, why was she changing the subject?

"It’s because you’re so ugly that you scare the sea," Lin Xiaoxiao said.

Damn, she dares to take a dig at me?

However, Lin Xiaoxiao was having the upper hand, and she felt happy in her heart. "Enough, brother-in-law. Don’t compare yourself to others. Others are genuinely handsome, and you’re just a big pervert, a heartless womanizer. Being handsome is out of your league. Accept your fate; you’ll never be as good as others in this lifetime."

"How can I not compare? Didn’t I marry your sister?" Li Chen glanced over.

The previously triumphant Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly deflated and muttered, "That’s just because my sister is blind."

The two of them bantered all the way to the girls’ dormitory.

"Xiaoxiao, don’t you feel that this Mu Yi, we have seen him somewhere before?" Li Chen pondered Mu Yi’s previous smile. Although Mu Yi was sunny and handsome, this feeling kept lingering in his mind.

It couldn’t be wrong; so many past instances had confirmed his intuition. He should be familiar with this Mu Yi, although he was sure he had never met him before.

This made Li Chen frown with thought.

"Come on, brother-in-law, you’re just jealous because he’s more handsome than you," Lin Xiaoxiao retorted, "How could you have possibly met him? He’s a new exchange student who recently transferred to our school."

Really?

Li Chen was still half-convinced. Was he really only a recent transfer?

After escorting Lin Xiaoxiao to the dormitory, Li Chen began to walk back, but he was still thinking about the earlier incident.

He suspected that the football shot by Mu Yi towards him was deliberate. This feeling was faint yet unmistakable, but he couldn’t put his finger on any evidence.

He had specifically checked the position of the goal and their location—it was just slightly in a straight line, which meant that Mu Yi’s statement about the shot being off was plausible.

Reflecting on Mu Yi’s gentle and cheerful smile, Li Chen felt uncomfortable. He always had the feeling that behind this smile, the other person seemed to be hiding something, as if he wore a mask. The smile on the mask was deliberately shown to others, while the real face was hidden beneath.

This Mu Yi was suspicious.

Li Chen didn’t know where his judgment came from but, regardless, he wanted to investigate Mu Yi.

As he made a call, Li Chen spoke indifferently, "This is the true King of the Netherworld."

"Yes, master. What do you command?" A calm voice came through the phone.

When he had Alice call some people over last time, some of the elites from the Palace of the Nether King were among them, including experts in investigation, and this person was the leader of that team.

"Go check the background of Mu Yi for me; he’s now at Linchuan University," Li Chen directed calmly.

"Yes," the voice on the phone responded.

After hanging up, Li Chen intended to look for Yang Xin, but he didn’t know exactly which classroom she was in. He decided to drop the idea.

Then, Li Chen headed toward the university gate, and when he arrived at the entrance, from a distance, Yi Mu stood there, staring expressionlessly at Li Chen’s figure, silent.

In his eyes, suddenly, a glint of hatred flickered as if wishing to devour Li Chen’s figure that walked within his sight!

"Snap"

The pen in his hand was abruptly snapped by his force, channeling his anger into it.

Someday, I will kill you!

Everything you’ve done, I will repay a thousandfold!

Li Chen, our enmity cannot coexist under the same sky!
