Chapter 1203: Chapter 1175: Yu Lian and Duanmu Wuliang
"Yuanqiao Town?"
Li Chen looked at the information in his hand, his face showing a mysterious expression.
Zizhao’s work was unexpectedly reliable, even Li Chen hadn’t expected that despite Zizhao appearing a bit unorthodox, he was quite methodical in his actions.
This made Li Chen sigh, realizing that sometimes businessmen are indeed more dependable than anyone else.
Of course, that’s when this businessman truly made a decision and a choice.
The current Zizhao essentially put his entire fortune into Li Chen. In the rules of the Martial Artist World, Zizhao’s behavior signified that he had already chosen a side.
From now on, when people saw him, they would also think of Li Chen, which is the consequence of Zizhao choosing a side.
As a businessman, making such an almost all-in investment, before reaping any rewards, he would naturally strive to handle matters well.
Especially matters concerning Li Chen.
This meeting with Yu Lian and others was organized by Zizhao alone. Using the name of someone else, the meeting place was also the least likely to arouse suspicion in Yu Lian and others.
Yu Lian and Duanmu Wuliang probably could never imagine that Zizhao, who seemed timid with only Black Rope-level power, would have the guts to set them up.
Precisely because they believed Zizhao wouldn’t dare, Yu Lian and Duanmu Wuliang agreed to Zizhao’s ’on behalf of someone’ invitation without hesitation.
"Yu Lian, Earth-level Roar, broke through successfully ten years ago, ordinary cultivation, but possesses Thunder Attribute, surprising attack power." Li Chen carefully read the intelligence Zizhao sent him.
"Duanmu Wuliang, known as the Mad Dog, holds grudges and retaliates, quite unkind in speech, and highly unpopular among martial artists. Earth-level Roar, remarkable cultivation, once fought with a Roar-level strong opponent and escaped successfully?"
Seeing this, Li Chen frowned slightly, then gently exhaled.
No matter what, if he didn’t deal with those two, there would always be a thorn stuck in his heart.
Although Third Grandpa and Fourth Grandfather were fine, he believed that encountering opponents like Chu Songlan and He Baigang, Third Grandpa and Fourth Grandfather were likely embarrassed as well. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have left behind their Turtle Shell and Medicine Basket.
Every time he thought of this, Li Chen couldn’t help but have a strong urge to kill.
His grandfathers painstakingly raised him, taught him martial arts, and how to conduct himself. To him, these elders were the most unshakable figures in his heart.
But this time, they were plotted against.
Killing only Chu Songlan and He Baigang couldn’t quell the anger in his heart.
"Two Roar-level?" Li Chen sneered: "Perfect, I can also take this opportunity to test my own strength, to see if I can truly crush those at the same level."
...
"Is it here?" Duanmu Wuliang and Yu Lian walked on the road, Yu Lian’s face unchanged, but Duanmu Wuliang’s expression seemed a bit strange.
"That’s right, this is the place." Yu Lian said softly.
"Are you sure she’ll still remember you?" Seeing Yu Lian’s expression, Duanmu Wuliang couldn’t help but mock.
That was his habit.
"I don’t want to know these things, I just want to see her." Yu Lian said calmly: "Are you not here for her too?"
Hearing Yu Lian’s words, Duanmu Wuliang fell silent.
Indeed, he came for the same reason.
When Yu Lian received the letter, he happened to be nearby, so he also saw it and came along.
They came here for the same reason, to see... the same person.
"You know her situation, so many years have passed, do you think she’ll still remember you? Even if you do meet her, what’s the point?" After a moment of silence, Duanmu Wuliang couldn’t help but speak.
At this moment, Yu Lian suddenly raised his head, looked at Duanmu Wuliang beside him, and smiled slightly: "Duanmu, people say you’re a mad dog, but I’ve known you for so many years and have seen you with her, I know you’re not bad, at least not to her."
"So, can you not say these things? Yes, she may indeed not remember me, but it’s impossible she’ll remember you like before. I came here just to see if she’s really here and if she’s well." Yu Lian said blandly.
Duanmu Wuliang was called a ’Mad Dog’, but at this moment, he found himself at a loss for words.
Because, faced with Yu Lian’s words, he had no rebuttal, nor could he refute.
Many years ago, he met a kind girl, couldn’t help but be attracted, stayed with her, and forgot he was a martial artist, silently protecting her.
Until...
"Whatever! I suddenly don’t feel like arguing today." He shook his head vigorously: "Let me make it clear first, we’re only going to have a look. If she really is there, we shouldn’t disturb her. If she isn’t..."
Yu Lian sighed softly: "If not, that’d be even better. I really don’t want her to be found again."
Duanmu Wuliang nodded, surprisingly agreeing with Yu Lian.
Yuanqiao Town.
The two stood in front of the town.
"According to the message, it’s over at the back mountain of this town." Knowing what Duanmu Wuliang was thinking, Yu Lian said.
Looking at the seemingly normal town, Duanmu Wuliang nodded: "I get it. If it’s her, this would be expected."
"Aren’t you worried it’s a trap? After all, the person who sent the message is someone I haven’t been in contact with for a long time." Yu Lian turned his head, looking at Duanmu Wuliang beside him, and asked.
Not raising any doubts or objections at this moment was very unlike the usual Duanmu Wuliang.
"I said, I don’t feel like arguing today." Duanmu Wuliang said somewhat impatiently.
"Alright then." Yu Lian nodded.
Their figures flickered slightly, without alerting anyone, passed through the town, and rushed toward the back mountain.
With their speed, even if someone saw them, they would only think it was an illusion.
Moreover, the two of them had no intention of disturbing anyone on this trip.
Additionally, for this trip, they even postponed a very important operation.
Just to see that person they had been longing for so many years.
In the back mountain of the town, there was a small cabin, standing quietly and quaintly.
Seeing the cabin, the two couldn’t help but show excitement in their eyes, just as the message had said.
The door opened.
A figure slowly walked out.
However, it wasn’t the person they had imagined.
"I’ve been waiting a long time for you." Li Chen tilted his head, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
Red Moon was already held in his hand.
