Chapter 846: Chapter 818 You’re No Good Either

When Li Chen left, there was no one else blocking his way. It seemed that these people must have heard some news, but Li Chen could still feel that from certain directions within Dragon Soul’s base, there were still some eyes watching him with hostility.

Even he did not understand the mentality of these people.

Fortunately, he was just nominally associated with Dragon Soul and not really one of them. This was something even Elder Ji couldn’t deny, so Elder Ji never mentioned that Li Chen should work for Dragon Soul.

It was only about mutual assistance that both parties were willing to agree on.

"Unexpectedly, our Li Family actually had such an ally in the past..." A contemplative expression appeared on Li Chen’s face.

The Li Family and the Ji Family, merely the similarity in the names suggests that they might indeed be allies.

Of course, Li Chen didn’t completely trust Elder Ji, as he had seen too many treacherous human natures.

This matter, he needed to go back to the Relic first to confirm with several of his grandfathers to make sure this so-called alliance is indeed effective.

"However, the biggest gain from this trip is Xiaoxiao’s whereabouts!" A contemplative look appeared on Li Chen’s face again.

This time, he originally came for Lin Xiaoxiao. Finding Lin Xiaoxiao’s location, of course, was the best outcome for him.

"Just..."

Li Chen took out a small booklet from his bosom.

This booklet was given to him by Elder Ji when he was leaving, and he also said that one day he would find it useful.

"What exactly is this?"

Li Chen wanted to take a good look at it, but thinking of the many things he still had to do, he temporarily gave up the idea.

"I should head back first."

Li Chen left Dragon Soul, and to his surprise, there was a helicopter already waiting at the entrance of Dragon Soul.

"Hey, want to take a shortcut?" Xia Feng stood below the helicopter, waving at Li Chen.

Hearing Xia Feng’s words, a rare smile appeared on Li Chen’s usually frosty face.

Although there were quite a few people in Dragon Soul who were hostile to him, there were still those who harbored goodwill towards him.

"Of course!"

Li Chen agreed and walked straight towards the helicopter.

As soon as he got on, Li Chen was somewhat surprised to find that the pilot of the helicopter was Doon Yun.

"It’s a bit embarrassing for you two to come and send me off," Li Chen said, shaking his head at the two of them.

"We two send you? You wish," Xia Feng laughed. "I actually have important matters to attend to, this time, let Doon Yun take you away. But, I heard that you have a good relationship with Doctor Ouyang?"

"Are you talking about Wan’er?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"Yes, Doctor Ouyang Wan’er. In Dragon Soul, she is our savior for all the soldiers here; most people here have been treated by her. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t bother with you. If you want to thank someone, thank her," Xia Feng waved at Li Chen.

"Alright, have a smooth journey." Waving, the helicopter slowly lifted off the ground.

Hearing Xia Feng’s words, Li Chen fell silent for a moment.

"Where to?" At this time, Doon Yun, who was piloting the helicopter, asked.

"Go to Linchuan, I need to arrange some things first."

Now that Li Chen knew that there were people from Dragon Soul secretly protecting Lin Xiaoxiao, he was not as worried as before, but after all, the people from Dragon Soul were not his own.

Li Chen planned to return to Linchuan first, then immediately head towards Harbor Island.

This trip back to Linchuan, he just needed to confirm some matters.

...

"Where is this place?"

When Lin Xiaoxiao awoke from her deep sleep, she found herself lying in an ancient-looking room.

She rubbed her somewhat aching head and slowly sat up on the bed.

"This isn’t my room." Lin Xiaoxiao made this judgment immediately.

Only then did she start to gradually remember what had happened before she passed out.

"That villain! It was that villain who kidnapped me!" Lin Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.

"You bastard! Once my brother-in-law finds me, he is definitely going to kill you!" Anger showed on Lin Xiaoxiao’s face.

But for some reason, she wasn’t worried at all.

In her heart, her brother-in-law was capable of anything. He would definitely not let anything happen to her.

Her brother-in-law would surely find her and then take her away.

However, she still had no idea where she currently was.

At this moment, there suddenly came a knock on the door.

Lin Xiaoxiao’s expression shifted, and she quickly lay back down on the bed, pretending to be asleep once again.

When the person outside heard no movement inside, they pushed the door open and entered; the ancient wooden door made a creaking sound.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t know who was approaching, so she could only hold her breath and pretend to sleep.

However, soon, she heard footsteps gradually coming closer to her.

"No need to pretend to sleep, I know you’re awake. You’ve slept for quite some time now, why don’t you eat something? Don’t starve yourself," a hoarse, aged voice came from beside Lin Xiaoxiao.

Seemingly knowing she couldn’t keep it up, Lin Xiaoxiao stopped pretending and suddenly opened her eyes, staring blankly at the old man in front of her.

This old man was dressed in a robe that resembled that of an ancient Taoist priest, complete with a long white beard.

Moreover, he was definitely not one of the people who had been involved in kidnapping her before she fainted.

"Who are you?" Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask.

"Me?" The old man placed the food he was holding onto a nearby table and chuckled while stroking his beard. "My real name has long been forgotten. However, these days, many people have gotten used to calling me ’Daoist Wenxing’."

"Daoist Wenxing?"

"Correct. Currently, I am also the Sect Leader of the Mystic Star Faction," Wenxing said with a light chuckle.

In his long life, spanning over a century, he had seen many kinds of people. He understood very well what was going through the mind of a girl like Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Mystic Star Faction?" Lin Xiaoxiao was even more puzzled.

"You were kidnapped by the Yu Family, and upon learning that our Mystic Star Faction has been seeking a successor, they ’sold’ you to us," Wenxing said quite frankly.

"Sold to you?!" Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth: "So, that means they are human traffickers?!"

"You could say that," Wenxing nodded and smiled.

"Then you’re no better!" Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly blurted out this statement.

"Huh?"

For a moment, Wenxing was stunned. He had lived a very long life, extended due to his cultivation, making his lifespan far longer than ordinary people, yet during these extended years, this was the first time he had heard someone say that about him.
