169: Chapter 168: Beautiful girl, your life will not last long!

Moo Xi thought Li Chen was there to see her, and excitedly ran out in her slippers as she was about to take a nap.

Li Chen, upon seeing Moo Xi, directly started with his question: “Where is your grandfather?”

A hint of disappointment flashed through Moo Xi’s eyes as she muttered: “He’s not here to see me!”

Li Chen shook his head and said, “No, I’m here to see your grandfather.

I have something to discuss with him!”

Moo Xi responded with an “oh” and said, “Grandfather might be in the study practicing calligraphy right now, I’ll take you there!”

Li Chen nodded and said with a faint smile, “That would be great, thank you!”

Seeing Li Chen’s all-business attitude and not mentioning anything about her, Moo Xi couldn’t help feeling annoyed.

Old Sir Moo, hearing of Li Chen’s visit, did not dare to neglect and hurried out to greet him.

Li Chen did not beat around the bush and quickly stated his purpose.

Moo Hee picked out the key point from Li Chen’s words and asked for confirmation, “You want us to secretly protect Ye Chuxue and her family?”

Li Chen nodded and said, “Yes, I need to go out for a while.

During this period, someone might harm her, and I hope you can keep an eye on her for me.”

“By the way, I have a pill here as payment for this favor!”

As he spoke, Li Chen took out the last Gathering Peak Pill.

Moo Hee was worried about how to further deepen the relationship with Li Chen, the Young Master.

Now that Li Chen was seeking help, he naturally could not demand any payment for future considerations.

However, before he could refuse, Moo Xi next to him suddenly exclaimed,

“Is this the Gathering Peak Pill?”

“What, this is the Gathering Peak Pill that can break through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and achieve the Innate state?”

Hearing his granddaughter’s exclamation, Moo Hee’s somewhat cloudy eyes also brightened instantly, even showing a hint of fervent greed.

The Gathering Peak Pill, a Divine Medicine that can help a Martial Artist break through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and achieve the Innate state.

No martial artist could resist such temptation.

Moo Hee’s somewhat withered hand trembled slightly.

Mr.

Li, isn’t this too valuable?”

Li Chen waved his hand and slightly smiled, “It’s not overly valuable, but I hope you will take the matter I have entrusted to heart!”

Seeing the smile in Li Chen’s eyes, even Old Sir Moo, who had spent his life in battle, involuntarily shivered.

There’s a good saying, listen to the tone beyond the words.

The implied meaning in Li Chen’s words was: If you don’t take the task I’ve given seriously, you’ll be responsible for all consequences!

Normally, with Moo Hee’s temperament, he would have most certainly sent the visitor away.

However, the temptation of the Gathering Peak Pill was too great.

Accurately speaking, the temptation to achieve the Innate state and become a Grandmaster was overwhelming.

It was so overwhelming that he could not and would not refuse.

Otherwise, the Moo Family would face hostility from a Young Master with boundless potential.

They knew their Moo Family was not much stronger than the Tie Family.

At least the Tie Family had Tie Wudi, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, while their Moo Family didn’t even have a Grandmaster.

Li Chen could easily annihilate the Tie Family, which had a Grandmaster, and similarly could effortlessly push their Moo Family into the abyss of destruction.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Moo Hee bowed to Li Chen and said, “Mr.

Li, rest assured.

Even if it costs me my life, I will fulfill the task you’ve entrusted!”

Li Chen nodded slightly and said, “I appreciate it, Old Sir.

I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.

I will visit another day!”

Moo Xi was still upset that Li Chen had not mentioned her at all and pouted.

“Pfft, so arrogant!”

“Is the little girl feeling jealous?” Moo Hee looked at his granddaughter’s playful demeanor and asked with a smile.

Moo Xi blurted out: “Humph, I’m not jealous of him at all!”

Having just received a Gathering Peak Pill, Moo Hee was in a good mood and teased with a smile: “If you’re not jealous, then why are you so angry?”

Moo Xi, caught red-handed like she had done something wrong, blushed and stomped her feet coquettishly, protesting, “Grandpa, I’m going back to my room.

I won’t talk to you anymore!”

With that, she turned and headed to her room.

However, as she walked, she couldn’t help but repeatedly think of a name in her mind: Ye Chuxue.

Just how outstanding must this girl be to hold such a place in Li Chen’s heart?

…

Upon leaving the Moo Family’s house, Li Chen went to see Du Meng again and briefly instructed him a few things.

By two o’clock in the afternoon, he got up and went to the bus station.

As soon as he boarded the bus, a striking figure caught his attention.

The girl was in a water-blue long dress, at the prime age of her twenties, with skin so fair it seemed like condensed milk.

Her black hair flowed like a waterfall over her shoulders, giving an admirable aura.

However, what drew Li Chen’s attention wasn’t her unparalleled beauty, but her sorrow-filled eyes.

The girl, realizing that Li Chen was staring at her, subconsciously glanced back.

But it was just a fleeting glance.

A girl of such extraordinary beauty would be sought after everywhere.

It was perfectly normal for her to have her own pride.

Li Chen took a seat nearby and casually asked, “Beautiful lady, have we met before?”

The girl gave him a glance and coldly replied, “Don’t you think your way of striking up a conversation is a bit outdated?”

“Miss, you misunderstood.

I’m not talking about you, but your physique!”

After saying this, he shifted his gaze away from her and turned towards the window, starting to talk to himself: “Another Pure Yin Woman!”

Hearing Li Chen’s sudden statement, the girl’s heart skipped a beat.

Panic flashed through her eyes, clearly touching on something personal.

She widened her eyes in astonishment and asked, “How do you know I have a Pure Yin Physique?”

“I not only know about your Pure Yin Physique, but I also know that your life will not last long!”

As he spoke, Li Chen made a mysterious smile, like a fortune teller, and began to count on his fingers.

“To be precise, you have one month left to live!”

The girl completely panicked.

Her name was Zhao Yuqing, the legitimate daughter of the Family Head of the Zhao family from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

However, her role as the legitimate daughter was only nominal.

When she was born, her mother died from a difficult labor.

At the time, a magician from the worldly society visited, claiming her special physique easily attracted malevolent Yin Spirits and was a bearer of misfortune.

Anyone intimately related to her bloodline would be doomed by her existence.

Only by sending her to live with another family until she turned twenty years old and then sending her to the shamans of Miao Territory could this calamity be fully resolved.

Thus, Zhao Yuqing was sent to live with a distant relative.

Only during the Chinese New Year could she briefly return home for a visit.

Nearly twenty springs and autumns have passed; in one more month, she would turn twenty years old.

Zhao Yuqing steadied her emotions and took another careful look at Li Chen.

Seeing he was about her age, her heart filled with suspicion.

After a moment’s contemplation, her dimples showed as she asked, “Why should I believe you?”
