Chapter 851: Chapter 823: Wenxing’s Plan to Take on Apprentices

When Li Chen uttered these words, he had barely given it much thought.

From the mouths of several grandpas, Li Chen learned that back in the day, his own Li Family was a rather significant clan, merely having fallen into the outside world due to an unexpected fracture of their Enchanted World.

In these Enchanted Worlds, people most esteemed the pedigree between families. Thus, he was no longer a person of unknown origin.

Moreover, although the Barrier of the Li Family was now shattered, and the whereabouts of other members of the Li family were unknown except for himself, he was still a Li, and his surname was still Li. That alone was enough!

"Son of the Li Family?" Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhao Xing’s eyebrows involuntarily knitted together: "Which Li Family?"

"You don’t know of the Li Family?" Li Chen’s expression bore not the slightest hesitation or indecision, but instead, he retorted with a question.

Originally, Zhao Xing was somewhat skeptical of Li Chen’s words, but upon seeing Li Chen’s firm expression, Zhao Xing began to ponder for himself.

"Could it be..."

Seeming to have thought of something, Zhao Xing’s complexion suddenly changed.

The Li Family had completely dissolved decades ago. Yet, more than twenty years before, there emerged a terrifying figure who alarmed all the Martial Artists in Huaxia.

And that figure bore the surname Li!

"You are... the progeny of that person?" Looking at Li Chen, for the first time, Zhao Xing’s composed face changed.

"That person..." Unbidden, a strange idea surfaced in Li Chen’s mind: "Again, that person... Why does everyone seem to know my father, yet seem to dread him to such extent that they don’t even wish to, or dare to, mention his name?"

Li Chen grew deeply curious about this father he had never met.

What kind of person was this father who entrusted him to the care of four grandfathers and then disappeared for over twenty years?

"What concerns others is their business; standing here right now, there’s only you and me," Li Chen suddenly spoke.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhao Xing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "You are right, standing here, there are only you and me now."

"Then, Brother Li, please make a move. I am quite eager to see for myself what kind of character the progeny of that individual is."

Seemingly having fully acknowledged Li Chen’s identity, even the way Zhao Xing spoke had undergone a change, addressing Li Chen, who was obviously decades younger than himself, as ’Brother Li’.

"Then, here I come!" A glint flashed in Li Chen’s eyes.

He could feel that Zhao Xing’s strength was incredibly formidable, even surpassing his own by a lot. As soon as he took action, Li Chen did not hold back at all, and unleashed his full power right away.

One should know that within the second layer of the Relic’s space, with the power that Li Chen exerted, even Primordial Beasts of the Mysterious Level Advanced Stage stood no chance against him.

"Boom!!"

Li Chen’s fist heavily struck Zhao Xing’s crossed arms in front of his body.

And Zhao Xing, his whole body was wildly pushed back by this explosive punch.

"The power is very strong! The speed, too, is very fast!" Zhao Xing began to calculate in his mind.

And at this moment, Li Chen had already launched another pursuit.

"The pace of the battle is also very tight, it seems to be the kind that’s used to quick fights." Zhao Xing nodded, watching as Li Chen’s incoming punch roared towards him. He shifted his body slightly to the side, surprisingly dodging the punch completely and with a push from his arms, he sent Li Chen flying backward.

"Tss—"

Li Chen’s feet skidded across the ground for some distance; Zhao Xing’s push clearly held no small amount of force, nearly knocking him directly to the ground.

Li Chen’s eyebrows also knitted slightly.

The next moment, Li Chen launched another offensive; dealing with such a formidable opponent, if he couldn’t totally take the enemy down in a short time, he would be dragged into a long-winded battle of attrition.

However, what he didn’t notice at this time was that one of the windows above the loft had suddenly opened.

"Sis..." Lin Xiaoxiao had just opened her mouth when she was immediately interrupted by Daoist Wenxing standing beside her.

"Calling out to him now will only distract him," Wenxing said with a smile: "In a battle between strong fighters like them, a moment of carelessness can lead to serious injury. A single distraction could be fatal."

Hearing Daoist Wenxing’s words, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly shut her mouth and then whispered softly, "So what do we do? You say you’re not a bad person, so why are you stopping my brother-in-law from coming in?"

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao’s somewhat exasperated expression, Daoist Wenxing couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle bitterly, "This isn’t our fault. As you saw, your brother-in-law came in raging. He started throwing punches without so much as a word, he is a person, and aren’t the disciples of the Mystic Star Sect people too?"

"Alright, alright. Grandfather Wenxing, let’s say my brother-in-law is in the wrong; I apologize to you on his behalf! Please, tell them to stop fighting, will you?" Lin Xiaoxiao urged quickly.

"Well... That’s not out of the question, unless you agree to become my disciple," Wenxing suddenly suggested with a twinkle in his eye.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt helpless; she didn’t understand why this old man was so insistent on having her as his disciple, but she could indeed feel that Wenxing had no malice toward her.

Only, right now, all she wanted was to go back to her life, to be together with her sister and brother-in-law.

"Hmph! No deal. Anyway, my brother-in-law will definitely beat that guy and then come and take me away!" Lin Xiaoxiao said huffily.

Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao’s words, Wenxing couldn’t help but laugh, "How about we make a bet then?"

"Bet? What bet? Old Wenxing, I advise you not to have any ill intentions. This beauty isn’t fooled that easily!" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Daoist Wenxing with a suspicious gaze.

Wenxing’s face suddenly turned green. Are all girls these days like this? At first, when she was begging him, it was ’Grandfather Wenxing’ this and ’Grandfather Wenxing’ that. Now that she doesn’t need anything, it’s ’Old Wenxing’ now?

"Girl, let me tell you, your brother-in-law, he really isn’t getting into my Mystic Star Pavilion today! With Zhao Xing’s strength, he could definitely defeat your brother-in-law!" Daoist Wenxing said with conviction.

"Pshaw! I don’t believe it! My brother-in-law will surely defeat your so-called top disciple!" Lin Xiaoxiao retorted angrily.

"Then shall we make a bet?" A crafty light flickered in Wenxing’s eyes.

"Fine, let’s bet!" Lin Xiaoxiao pouted, "You say it, what’s the bet? Old man, don’t think I don’t know you’re trying to trick me, but I’m telling you, my brother-in-law will absolutely not lose!"

Wenxing took a few deep breaths, and even with his century of Qi Cultivation Technique, he was nearly driven to a rage by this young girl.

"Let’s bet that your brother-in-law can’t get in! If he’s defeated by Zhao Xing, you become my disciple, how about that?" Wenxing proposed.

"If my brother-in-law wins, then you let me leave this place with him!"

"Good! It’s a deal!"

"It’s a deal!" Lin Xiaoxiao snorted.
