Chapter 855: Chapter 827 Sisters

"So you’re saying, that old Daoist has been taking care of you all this time, wanting to take you as his disciple, and nothing more?"

Li Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao were on their way back to Linchuan, discussing the events that had unfolded, when Li Chen couldn’t help but feel curious.

"That’s right. The old Daoist just said he wanted me as his disciple," said Lin Xiaoxiao, pouting slightly as she spoke: "Considering his advanced age and the many disciples he already has, I don’t understand why he insists on taking me as well. I’m still young, and I certainly don’t want to spend my life in a place like that, being a nun!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

It seemed he really did disrupt what could have been an enormous opportunity for Lin Xiaoxiao.

Li Chen could sense only unfathomable depths from that old Daoist.

But exactly how powerful the old Daoist truly was, Li Chen also dared not conjecture.

One thing Li Chen could be certain of, however, was that Daoist Wenxing was definitely a force beyond the Earth-level.

Such strength was unquestionably beyond what he could handle at the moment.

When in the second layer of the relic, Li Chen would occasionally spar with Second Grandfather who came along.

He was now quite clear about the strength of the several grandfathers.

Aside from Great Grandfather whose strength was unknown, the other three grandfathers were all Earth-level Experts! Yet, even when sparring with Second Grandfather, Li Chen never felt the immense pressure he experienced standing before the old Daoist.

"By the way, Xiaoxiao, do you know who Daoist Wenxing really is?" It seemed Li Chen thought of something and turned his head to ask Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Him...?" Lin Xiaoxiao’s face revealed a contemplative expression.

"He didn’t tell me much. He only said that he is the current Sect Leader of the Mystic Star Sect, and the other people in that tower are all his disciples," Lin Xiaoxiao recalled.

"Mystic Star Sect..." A thoughtful look appeared on Li Chen’s face.

This name was already known to him from his previous fight with Zhao Xing.

Although the grandfathers did share some information with him, Li Chen, having grown up outside the Enchanted World, was completely oblivious to many of its affairs.

This so-called Mystic Star Sect was also completely unknown to him.

"It seems I need to find someone to properly understand these matters," Li Chen’s face showed deep thought.

Soon, Li Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up.

In Linchuan, weren’t there two people who had emerged from the Enchanted World?

In the past, An Qin always said that his power was not enough, that he shouldn’t know too much for fear of attracting trouble.

But now, it’s no longer an issue of whether his strength is enough.

It’s that those troubles have actively sought him out.

"Brother-in-law, is your wound okay?" Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly looked remorsefully at Li Chen: "I’m sorry, brother-in-law, I’ve dragged you into this again."

"It’s nothing." Li Chen glanced at his now repositioned left shoulder, which, despite looking somewhat uneven due to the fracture, was rapidly recovering with the catalyzing effect of True Qi.

Li Chen’s body, having been catalyzed by the Purple Sunflower and after having ingested the Purifying Body Pill, had reached an extremely formidable state.

It could be said that within his rank, there were scarcely anyone who could match him in Physical Strength.

Of course, this is also the precious aspect of the Purifying Body Pill. Otherwise, Third Grandpa would not have said such words to him back then.

"But only..."

Seemingly thinking of something, Li Chen’s gaze once again turned towards Lin Xiaoxiao standing aside.

"Xiaoxiao and the others have also consumed the Purifying Body Pill, and have become bodies of Lucidity. Could it be for this reason they caught the eye of Daoist Wenxing?" A suspicion rose in Li Chen’s heart.

And this suspicion was already very close to the truth.

"If that’s really the case, I must speed up their Cultivation progress." Li Chen made up his mind internally.

This time it was Lin Xiaoxiao who got kidnapped; who knows, maybe next time it could be Wang Qianqian or even Lin Yi!

Such an incident was something Li Chen would never allow to happen a second time.

Upon returning to the villa, Lin Yi’s face revealed a delighted surprise seeing Li Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao return safe and sound.

Before leaving, Li Chen did not mention Lin Xiaoxiao being kidnapped but simply told Lin Yi that Xiaoxiao had disappeared. As such, Lin Yi was still unaware that Lin Xiaoxiao had been abducted.

"Xiaoxiao, where did you go? School was already over, but you didn’t come back, I was so worried!" Lin Yi grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao and spoke with a hint of irritation.

"Ah..." Lin Xiaoxiao, recalling the explanation she and Li Chen had agreed on, quickly said, "I went to a classmate’s house. Her boyfriend came over, and she was a bit scared being alone, so she asked me to join her."

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao even winked at Lin Yi, giving her a "you know what I mean" look.

Indeed, after hearing Lin Xiaoxiao’s words, Lin Yi’s face couldn’t help but redden, and then she rolled her eyes at Li Chen.

They had a history of being overheard by Lin Xiaoxiao eavesdropping at the wall.

"Then why couldn’t we reach you on your phone either?" Lin Yi asked.

Lin Xiaoxiao said with a troubled face, "It must have been stolen while I was on the bus yesterday, right? I didn’t notice it until late at night."

"It’s fine. If it’s stolen, it’s stolen; there are too many messy people around. From now on, if you need to go somewhere, your brother-in-law will pick you up. As for the phone, we’ll just buy a new one tomorrow," Lin Yi said.

Seeing Lin Yi’s concerned expression, Li Chen couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he had managed to keep the matter hidden; otherwise, things could have gone awry.

Truthfully speaking, as a sister, Lin Yi was really good to Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Alright, alright, Sis! I’m not a kid anymore. If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to sleep. I’m a bit tired from playing today," Lin Xiaoxiao, seeing Lin Yi was going to continue nagging, quickly waved her hand and dashed upstairs.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao’s hurried expression, Lin Yi couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh.

"Xiaoxiao, she didn’t get hurt, did she?" Just as Li Chen was about to speak, Lin Yi suddenly asked.

Looking at Li Chen’s astonished face, Lin Yi shook her head again: "Do you really think I’m a fool? I’ve been doing business for so long; even if my skills in observing others’ words and expressions are lacking, I’ve still learned quite a bit."

Li Chen started to feel a bit embarrassed: "My beautiful wife is indeed smart, truly worthy of being my wife!"

"Enough! Quit your sweet talk, I’m asking you, did Xiaoxiao get hurt?" Lin Yi’s expression became serious, resembling a protective hen with her chick.

"No, no, of course not!" Li Chen quickly shook his head: "Don’t worry! Even if I were to be shattered to pieces, I wouldn’t let Xiaoxiao suffer the slightest harm!"

"Who asked you to be shattered to pieces?" Lin Yi rolled her eyes, stepped forward to Li Chen, and, under his astonished gaze, lifted up Li Chen’s shirt.
