Chapter 854: Chapter 826 Old Daoist Wenxing!

When Li Chen stepped into the pavilion, he saw Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly rushing down from the pavilion.

Upon seeing the battered Li Chen, Lin Xiaoxiao could no longer suppress her emotions, rushed over to embrace him, and burst into tears.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao was unharmed, Li Chen couldn’t help but smile and reached out with his only functioning right hand and patted Lin Xiaoxiao’s head: "Seeing you cry so energetically, I feel relieved."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn’t help but lift her head from his embrace and hit him hard: "Who talks like you do?!"

"Ouch — take it easy, madam, I am still injured!" Li Chen gasped in pain.

"Ah... Brother-in-law, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to!" Seeing the pained expression on Li Chen, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately felt heartache.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m fine. Let’s talk about everything when we get back," Li Chen said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from upstairs.

"Young brother, wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Li Chen involuntarily looked up, and coming down slowly from the upstairs was an old man dressed in a Taoist robe.

The old man appeared very benevolent, but for some reason, upon seeing him, Li Chen’s hairs stood on end, as if he had encountered a natural predator. A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

This feeling, compared to when he faced Zhao Xing, was ten times, a hundred times stronger!

"Who are you?!" Li Chen instinctively protected Lin Xiaoxiao behind him.

"Young brother, don’t be afraid, I am not a bad person," Senior Wenxing said, somewhat frustratedly upon seeing Li Chen’s expression.

Do I really look like a villain?

"Bad people always say that," Li Chen said bluntly: "And also, when they are trying to fool children."

Senior Wenxing: "..."

"Alright. If I really had any ill intentions, do you think you could stop me?" Senior Wenxing’s voice calmed down.

Hearing Senior Wenxing’s words, Li Chen’s expression grew solemn. Just from the aura alone, he could judge that he might not be any match for the elderly man at all.

But for him, there is only doing or not doing, no daring or not daring! That is his life’s principle.

"Nice eyes." Seeing Li Chen’s expression, Senior Wenxing shook his head with a smile, then looked towards Lin Xiaoxiao behind Li Chen: "It seems that our mentor-disciple fate has not yet arrived."

At this point, Lin Xiaoxiao also sensed something off from their conversation.

Could it be that this always-smiling old man who spoke to her was a super high-level master whom even her brother-in-law couldn’t deal with?

Lin Xiaoxiao began to hesitate.

If that’s really the case, were her previous words too disrespectful?

If he really moves against my brother-in-law...

"Grandfather Wenxing, I was disrespectful earlier, I apologize. But my brother-in-law is still injured, so we won’t stay long. I hope Grandfather Wenxing can let us leave," Lin Xiaoxiao said seriously.

Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao’s words, a deeper wry smile appeared on Senior Wenxing’s face.

"Girl, you have good talent and are smart. If there’s an opportunity, I truly wish to take you as a disciple. However, if you are unwilling, I will not force you."

Wenxing waved his sleeve, and a streak of flowing light flashed by.

Li Chen reached out and found himself holding a small Jade Vase.

"This is Tendon Healing Powder. While it won’t heal you instantly, it will speed up your recovery. Take it, lad." Wenxing shook his head with a smile.

Then, Wenxing looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, "Also, girl, if you change your mind later, you can come here to find me."

"Thank you, Grandfather Wenxing!" Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly bowed.

At this time, Li Chen also bowed to Wenxing: "Then thank you, Senior Wenxing."

"Alright, you better hurry off now, out of sight, out of mind." Wenxing waved his hand: "Girl, if you change your mind, you’d better come over quickly. I’m too old to wait many more years."

"Grandfather Wenxing is a good person, good people surely live a long life!" Lin Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly at Wenxing and then left the pavilion supporting Li Chen.

Long after Li Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao had left, the bandaged Zhao Xing appeared beside Wenxing.

"Master!"

"Are you alright?" Wenxing turned and asked.

Hearing Wenxing’s words, Zhao Xing shook his head with a wry smile: "I think I’ll need to recuperate for a while."

"Did you discover your flaws through this battle?" Wenxing asked.

"I did!" Wenxing nodded, "Disciple has identified his weaknesses from this battle. I believe, I’m one step closer to the Earth Level, and soon I may be able to step through the doors to the Earth Level."

"It’s good that you found them." Wenxing nodded with a smile: "Lin Xiaoxiao, that girl has good Talent and is very clever; it’s a pity though."

"Master, it’s her loss for not wanting to become your disciple," Zhao Xing quickly said.

"Alright, enough with the flattery. At my age, do you think I still enjoy that?" Wenxing raised his eyebrows.

"Disciple is dull." Zhao Xing scratched his head, speaking somewhat awkwardly.

"However, that lad previously said that he is a descendant of the Li Family, right?" Wenxing suddenly asked, as if he remembered something.

"He did say so." Zhao Xing replied.

"I thought as much." Wenxing nodded, "The Direct Lineage of the Li Family is probably down to that one line now. But, Li Changcun, that lad, is truly impressive, even Old Daoist Wenxing like myself can’t help but admire him."

Wenxing exclaimed, "Although the Barrier of the Li Family is shattered, it has produced a remarkable person indeed."

Zhao Xing didn’t know how to respond; he should be of the same generation as Li Changcun, but back when Li Changcun was making his mark, he was still merely struggling at Yellow Rank, not qualified to participate in the conversations of Top-level Powerhouses.

"Actually, I also think that lad is probably Li Changcun’s son; even that bad temper is exactly the same. Truly like father, like son, don’t you think so?" Wenxing suddenly burst into laughter as if recalling something.

Zhao Xing forced a smile, "Probably... yes."

"Right, the girl Xiaoxiao just now called him brother-in-law, right? Is this what young people like nowadays?" Wenxing asked.

Zhao Xing: "..."

"Also, Zhao Xing, when that girl Xiaoxiao left, she wished me a long life, but Old Daoist I have already lived past a hundred years, is she blessing me or cursing me?"

Zhao Xing: "Master, please spare me!"
