Chapter 845: Chapter 817: Allies

"These guys, really don’t give people peace of mind." Kang Quanfu turned off the monitor in front of him, shook his head, and started chuckling bitterly.

Then he looked towards Elder Ji beside him: "Elder Ji, what do you think?"

"Very promising," Elder Ji nodded and said.

"Exactly," Kang Quanfu spoke: "Although the youngsters of Dragon Soul are a bit reckless normally, they still have commendable potential."

"I’m referring to that lad called Li Chen," Elder Ji glanced at the self-praising Kang Quanfu.

"Er..." Upon hearing Elder Ji’s words, Kang Quanfu suddenly felt embarrassed.

However, compared to Elder Ji, he, being two generations junior, didn’t dare to say much more.

"Just now, although he won. Likewise, he also held back," Elder Ji slowly started his commentary: "If he hadn’t held back, he wouldn’t have just fainted."

"The physical tolerance of a Martial Artist is much stronger than that of an ordinary person, not so easy to faint. And this lad called Li Chen, during his move earlier, clearly controlled his strength, making it so that he would just faint."

Elder Ji calmly stated: "Their strength is not just a little different. Moreover, in terms of insight, they are not on the same level at all."

"This..."

"Alright, stop fussing, I think, this youngster must also be quite annoyed, quickly bring him over," Elder Ji spoke.

"Yes!"

When Li Chen walked into the small grove, his expression still showed some surprise.

In his view, as the Authority Holder of Dragon Soul, if not living at the top floor of that grand building, at least, it should be an elegant small room.

However, what Li Chen didn’t expect was that the place where the other party was located turned out to be a small house in this grove.

A plainly simple, even somewhat crude, small wooden house.

"Here we are, Elder Ji is right here," the driver nodded toward Li Chen, then stood still, showing no intention of moving forward.

"Your Dragon Soul’s Authority Holder is surnamed Ji?" Li Chen asked.

The driver smiled and nodded, but said nothing more.

At the door of the wooden house, Li Chen took a deep breath; he came here for Lin Xiaoxiao. But for some reason, standing here, he suddenly developed a feeling known as ’nervousness.’

Even he himself didn’t know why.

"Dong dong."

Gently knocking twice on the door, soon, an echo came from inside the house.

"Come in."

When Li Chen entered, he couldn’t help but startle.

Because, sitting inside the house were not one, but two old men.

"I am Kang Quanfu, this is, Elder Ji," seeing the expression on Li Chen’s face, Kang Quanfu couldn’t help but speak.

"Hello," Li Chen spoke a bit stiffly.

His expression appeared somewhat tense.

Actually, without Kang Quanfu stating it, he could also feel it.

Although this Elder Ji looked very ordinary, Li Chen couldn’t explain why, but he sensed an unfathomable aura coming from him.

His instinct told him, this old man, was very dangerous.

"Child, no need to be nervous, come here," Elder Ji appeared very amicable, waved at Li Chen and said.

Li Chen’s face stiffened, but still he moved a couple of steps closer.

"You are Li Chen?" Elder Ji asked.

"Yes." Li Chen nodded.

"Don’t be nervous; I called you here because there is just a small matter I need to confirm," he said.

Elder Ji sized up Li Chen and pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you have a Jade Pendant on you?"

Upon hearing Elder Ji’s words, Li Chen hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a Jade Pendant from his person.

"Just as I thought..."

Elder Ji looked at the Jade Pendant, as if it reminded him of something, and he slightly closed his eyes.

"Elder Ji?" Kang Quanfu, who was beside him, saw Elder Ji’s expression and couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

"I’m fine..." Elder Ji shook his head and then asked Li Chen, "How are those four guys doing now?"

Upon hearing Elder Ji’s words, Li Chen’s body couldn’t help but shudder.

He actually knows my four grandfathers?

"No need to say anything, I already know." Elder Ji is truly aged and wise; without Li Chen saying anything, he could almost guess everything correctly just by Li Chen’s expression.

"Since that’s the case, I do indeed have some things I need to discuss with you."

"Quanfu, you go outside and keep watch," Elder Ji said softly to Kang Quanfu by his side.

"Elder Ji... Yes!" Kang Quanfu wanted to say something else, but after seeing Elder Ji’s expression, he reluctantly nodded his head.

After Kang Quanfu left, Elder Ji then sighed deeply and looked at Li Chen.

"Speaking of which, I do indeed have some connections with your Old Li Family," Elder Ji said with a smile.

"The Ji Family and the Li Family were allies hundreds of years ago." Seeming to remember something, a look of reminiscence flashed across Elder Ji’s eyes.

"You already know about the Enchanted World, right?" Elder Ji asked.

Although curious in his heart, Li Chen didn’t speak and just lightly nodded.

"Our Ji Family’s Enchanted World has a shorter lifespan than that of your Li Family; it became depleted decades ago. Left with no choice, we sent a part of our people to your Li Family, while the rest went into hiding in the Mountain Forest Marketplace. And I am one of them," Elder Ji explained, shaking his head.

"Unfortunately, I didn’t expect that your Li Family’s Enchanted World wouldn’t last much longer either and eventually shattered."

"Now, we can probably call ourselves fellows in misfortune, right?" Li Chen said with a bitter smile.

"You could say that," Elder Ji looked at Li Chen and said, "but the Ji Family and the Li Family are still allies!"

"What do you mean?"

Elder Ji’s expression grew serious: "If there’s any place you need assistance, you can come to me for help, but likewise..."

"I understand." Li Chen didn’t wait for Elder Ji to finish, but firmly nodded his head, "Whenever there’s anything I can help with, I will certainly do all I can!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Elder Ji started smiling.

He was waiting for Li Chen to say this.

Due to reasons of status, he couldn’t offer much help to the scattered descendants of the Ji Family across different regions; if he did so, he would be criticized, and he also disdained to engage in such self-serving acts.

He could only offer as much help as was within his ability, but Li Chen was different.

"The person you are looking for must be the girl named Lin Xiaoxiao, right?" After finishing their discussion, Elder Ji finally brought the conversation back to the main issue.

Hearing Elder Ji mention Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Chen’s spirits were immediately lifted.

"We have already located her position; currently, she is being transported towards Harbor Island," Elder Ji revealed, "Along the way, we have already arranged people to ensure her safety."

"However, we from Dragon Soul are currently seriously understaffed and our strength is also quite limited, so we can’t help you directly snatch her back, we can only keep an eye on her safety for you."

"That’s enough!" Li Chen clenched his fists and slowly stood up.
