Chapter 299: Chapter 297: If You Don’t Leave, I Will Never Abandon You!【Additional update for 1000 recommendation tickets in the bookstore】

The next day was Sunday, and Ye Chuxue was at home practicing problems.

Li Chen, having nothing to do, joined her in solving problems.

However, high school problems were trivial for him, like a piece of cake, offering no challenge at all. After casually finishing a few difficult ones, he found them too uninteresting.

When he put down the problems, he noticed a grade report card on top.

Ye Chuxue scored 721 points, ranking first in the grade

It was the exam from last week; Li Chen missed it, scoring zero on all four subjects and ranked 996th.

Li Chen gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xue’er, you did well, grade first again!"

Ye Chuxue pouted, showing an "invincibility is so lonely" expression and somberly said: "Lin Xuanfei has gone to the UK to study abroad, Zhao Yi has transferred schools, and you missed the exam. This first place in the grade, it’s meaningless!"

Hearing the familiar name "Lin Xuanfei," a touch of sorrow flickered in Li Chen’s deep eyes.

If I could adorn my hair with blooming flowers every day, why would I care where my slave returns.

This girl going abroad to study, a big reason might still be because of him.

Ye Chuxue, with her delicate thoughts, swiftly caught the change in Li Chen’s expression and pursed her lips saying, "Are you missing her?"

Li Chen simply smiled and replied, "No!"

Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes and said: "If you miss her, you miss her, why deny it. Actually, Lin Xuanfei is a really nice girl, beautiful, with good grades, and very elegant too!"

Hearing Ye Chuxue unusually lavish compliments upon Lin Xuanfei, Li Chen didn’t dare to respond rashly, just silently listened.

"By the way, Lin Xuanfei came to see you before she went abroad, but you weren’t at school at that time. She also asked me to give you this!"

As she spoke, Ye Chuxue pulled out a delicate heart-shaped glass bottle from the cabinet, filled with colorful Wish Stars.

Li Chen took the Wish Star bottle; it was light, weighing only about half a pound including the Wish Stars inside. But in his hand, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Did she say anything else?"

Ye Chuxue paused, speaking with a hint of sadness: "She said she’s really envious of me, wishing us happiness, and that’s all."

In fact, Ye Chuxue had a very good impression of Lin Xuanfei. It’s just a pity that some things can’t be shared, like a boyfriend.

"What a silly girl!"

Li Chen casually replied, not knowing if he was talking to himself or to Ye Chuxue.

Ye Chuxue looked at Li Chen and said, "Li Chen, Lin Xuanfei is a good girl, if one day I am no longer here, you can go..."

However, before Ye Chuxue could finish, Li Chen suddenly changed his expression, becoming frighteningly grim.

"Shut up, don’t talk nonsense!"

Ye Chuxue had never seen Li Chen like this before and was quite startled.

Li Chen also realized his own overreaction and quickly held her tightly in his arms.

"Xue’er, don’t say things like that, nothing will happen to you!"

In his past life, Ye Chuxue had perished at her most beautiful age. Therefore, Li Chen was particularly sensitive to such topics, which could be described as his most vulnerable Life Gate.

That heart-piercing pain, once was more than enough, he didn’t want to experience it a second time.

If he can’t even protect the girl he loves the most, what’s the point of cultivating immortality, of comprehending the Tao? Might as well hit his head against a block of tofu and die.

Ye Chuxue couldn’t understand why Li Chen would suddenly become so neurotic. However, as Li Chen didn’t speak, she didn’t ask further.

She stretched out her fair fingers to draw a heart in mid-air, muttering to herself: "If you don’t leave, I will never give up!"

Just then, a series of knocks came from the door.

"Who is it, visiting the house at this time?"

Ye Chuxue mumbled to herself, ready to open the door.

But she was swiftly grabbed by Li Chen.

"Stay here, don’t move. I’ll go open the door!"

Ye Chuxue was puzzled but obediently nodded her head.

Li Chen looked slightly stern, his eyes like swords ready to unsheathe at any moment, intently fixed on the door.

There were three people in total, all martial artists, and one of them was at the Inner Strength Peak.

Li Chen released the Mind Divine Wave, at a high frequency of 960 cycles per breath, dispersing it towards the surroundings, enveloping the entire neighborhood to ensure there were no grandmasters or equivalent experts present. Only then, did his tense nerves slightly relax.

It seems not to be an enemy’s visit!

He steadied his mind and got up to open the door.

Outside stood three people: one woman and two men.

The woman leading was spirited and imposing, her face emanating righteousness.

She scrutinized Li Chen closely before getting straight to the point, asking: "Excuse me, is Immortal Master Li here?"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and countered, "Who are you?"

The woman showed her ID, which read: Head of the Intelligence Department of the Yan Mountain Military Region Headquarters, Ning Xiaoqing!

Seeing that the visitors were from the military region made Li Chen feel uneasy, as he asked, "What do you want with Immortal Master Li?"

Ning Xiaoqing stared into Li Chen’s eyes for three seconds before tentatively asking, "You are Immortal Master Li, right? My commander would like to see you!"

Isn’t that Li Lingtian? What on earth does he want with me?

Li Chen was apprehensive and unclear about the other party’s true intentions.

"We’re not acquainted. Why would he want to see me?"

Before Li Chen’s words hit the ground, a fierce man behind Ning Xiaoqing shouted angrily, "When my commander asks for you, you go—what’s with all the nonsense?"

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and coldly asked, "What if I refuse?"

"Refuse? Heh, that’s not up to you!"

Before the words finished, the fierce man took a large step forward, aiming to grab Li Chen’s shoulder with a standard martial arts grapple move.

However, as soon as his arm was raised, a crisp cracking sound of breaking bones could be heard.

Following that, his arm hung limply down, obviously broken.

Li Chen’s gaze turned icy as he coldly rebuked: "I’m in a good mood today; otherwise, you’d be a dead man by now!"

The fierce man, Zhao Jingang, was a combat instructor from the Special Forces, holding the rank of colonel. A lay disciple of Northern Shaolin, a Peak Inner Strength Martial Artist, his whole body trained in the Outer Sect’s hardening kung fu, he had already achieved Iron Bone, his fists capable of breaking stones and inscribing steles. Last year, he even clinched the championship title in the military region’s combat competition.

Yet now, in Li Chen’s presence, he was completely cowed.

He hadn’t even seen Li Chen make his move, befuddledly ending up with a broken arm.

Moreover, judging by the strength used by Li Chen, he had certainly shown restraint. Otherwise, he might really be lying cold on the ground by now.

Seeing the situation turn somewhat awkward, Ning Xiaoqing forced a smile and apologetically said, "Immortal Master Li, my friend here is a bit hot-headed, please forgive us!"

Li Chen waved his hand dismissively, "Never mind. I can’t be bothered to argue with someone as insignificant as an ant!"

Zhao Jingang, hearing himself being insulted as an ant by Li Chen, couldn’t help but erupt in fury again.

However, before he could react further, Ning Xiaoqing stopped him with a stern look.

Li Chen looked at Ning Xiaoqing with a nonchalant expression and said, "The distance for me to go to Yan Mountain or for your commander to come here is the same. If he wishes to see me, let him come here. I’m always ready to welcome esteemed guests!"

Ning Xiaoqing, seeing Li Chen unwilling to travel to Yan Mountain, pleaded with a hint of earnestness, "Immortal Master Li, my commander is burdened with countless duties, could you perhaps consider..."

"I don’t wish to repeat what I just said. Besides, if your commander is so busy, I’m not idle either. The college entrance exams are coming up, and I need to study hard!"

As Li Chen spoke, to prove his point, he even waved the math test paper he was holding in front of Ning Xiaoqing a couple of times.

Hearing Li Chen’s reason, even Ning Xiaoqing, with her excellent mental fortitude, could not help but feel a bit embarrassed.

But now, a high school student had just declined her invitation with the bizarre reasoning of "the college entrance exams are imminent, I must study hard," which was simply unbelievable.
