Chapter 528: Chapter 527 The Li Family (1/3)
Jin Chen Li family.
Actually, since Li Muyang returned, he had been worried about Yang Chen’s situation and had hardly slept well.
Recently, there were rumors about a news from the Flame Palace peak.
He learned some information from Elder Zhuo and knew Yang Chen was badly injured.
Initially, he wanted to visit Yang Chen, but his father disagreed. When he sought Elder Zhuo’s help, Elder Zhuo also refused to see Yang Chen, which left Li Muyang puzzled and unsure why.
These days, Li Muyang had been staying at home without going out.
However, he heard that Yang Chen seemed to have recovered.
Recovering in just ten days, Yang Chen truly had remarkable recuperative abilities.
At night, Li Muyang came out of the gym, preparing to freshen up and rest.
At this moment, someone came to inform him that someone wanted to see him.
"Who?" Li Muyang asked while wiping sweat off his body, "Who is it?"
The messenger replied, "The visitor claims to be Yang Chen and wants to see you."
"Yang Chen?" Li Muyang’s eyes widened immediately in excitement, "Really?"
"That’s what he said."
"Then hurry! Let him in quickly! Lead him to the study to wait for me. I’ll take a quick shower first!" After all, having just exercised, Li Muyang was sweaty and didn’t feel it appropriate to meet Yang Chen.
"Yes!" The person nodded, sensing the visitor’s identity was not ordinary and immediately went to greet Yang Chen respectfully.
Soon, Yang Chen and Jian Feng arrived in the study.
The two of them waited quietly in the study.
After a while, Jian Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, you know people from the Li family?"
"Quite well," Yang Chen nodded and replied.
Jian Feng looked at Yang Chen in amazement. After all, the Li family wasn’t simple and was a giant in Jin Chen, one of the holders of power in Flame Country!
"You haven’t been to Jin Chen much, have you?" Jian Feng asked, looking at Yang Chen.
He recalled they hadn’t come to Jin Chen before this, as at that time, their status didn’t allow entry into Jin Chen.
Even after acquiring the qualifications later, they rarely visited Jin Chen, let alone interacted with the families there.
Yang Chen sat quietly, waiting.
Seeing Yang Chen not responding, Jian Feng didn’t continue to ask.
After all, everyone has their own secrets, right?
After a while, the study door was pushed open, drawing Yang Chen and Jian Feng’s attention.
"Yang Chen!" Li Muyang called out excitedly upon seeing Yang Chen.
Yang Chen stood up too, smiling at Li Muyang and said, "Brother Li!"
Ye Xin called Li Muyang Brother Li, so it wasn’t wrong for him to call Li Muyang Brother Li either, especially since Li Muyang and Zhuo Jingyu were brothers. Plus, Li Muyang had always looked after Yang Chen warmly, so the calling was genuinely sincere.
Li Muyang, hearing the term, was taken aback.
Previously, Yang Chen never addressed him like that; he only called him Major Li.
This made Li Muyang somewhat flattered.
"Yang... brother!" Li Muyang also changed how he addressed him, smiling and saying, "Have your injuries healed?"
"They’ve healed," Yang Chen chuckled bitterly, looking at Li Muyang, "It seems you all know about the Flame Palace peak incident."
Li Muyang nodded, saying solemnly, "You know, matters like these can’t be hidden, especially with such a huge commotion. Others might not know, but the major families in Jin Chen would surely get the news."
Yang Chen nodded, realizing this was unavoidable, especially under their watch.
"Seeing you’re okay puts my heart at ease, Elder Zhuo was asking about you just the other day," Li Muyang said.
Yang Chen paused, looking toward Li Muyang, "Uncle Zhuo knows too?"
"He knew long ago!" Li Muyang laughed wryly, "I first got the news from him before following the Flame Palace peak incident."
Yang Chen chuckled bitterly, overlooking Elder Zhuo’s influence; he hadn’t expected Elder Zhuo’s information to arrive so quickly.
Contemplating, Yang Chen asked, "Is the Dean here too?"
"He’s here," Li Muyang nodded.
Yang Chen understood, realizing back then Sun Yue and others were merely deceiving him. The Dean, being with Elder Zhuo, was absolutely safe. If Elder Zhuo lacked the ability to protect the Dean and ensure his safety, he wouldn’t hold his current position, as no one could touch him!
"You haven’t visited?" Li Muyang asked, gazing at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen shook his head slightly, just having come out of seclusion today, not yet having the chance to visit the two elders.
Li Muyang looked at Yang Chen and said, "You should find time to visit them; they’re worried about you."
Yang Chen nodded, replying solemnly, "I will."
"You came this time..." Li Muyang knew Yang Chen wouldn’t have come merely for a chat.
Yang Chen looked at Li Muyang, speaking seriously, "I came to ask for a favor!"
Upon hearing this, Li Muyang immediately said, "There’s no need for formalities, between us brothers, if there’s something I can help with, I certainly will!"
Yang Chen nodded, looking gratefully at Li Muyang and said, "I wish you could help me protect a few people."
Li Muyang frowned, staring at Yang Chen, asking, "Have you encountered danger?"
After thinking, Li Muyang asked again, "Is it unresolved issues from last time?"
Yang Chen shook his head, "I have a mission to carry out; the specifics are inconvenient to disclose. I need you to help protect Wei Xueqing and my sister Chen Siyan. I will send them from Jin Chen to Ningchuan. After all, Ningchuan is Uncle Zhuo’s territory, relatively safer. I hope you can secretly protect them, ensuring they’re not in harm’s way."
He didn’t want Wei Xueqing and Chen Siyan to face any danger.
Have them follow on the mission?
That’s impossible!
He wouldn’t involve two people without any combat experience in his mission, as that is perilous baggage.
Li Muyang nodded, saying, "Sending them away is the best decision; Jin Chen is a place full of mixed entities, where many things are hard to guard against."
Yang Chen felt the same deeply.
"By the way, did you know the Zhu family and the Liu family in Jin Chen have been searching for you?" Li Muyang asked.
This was information he recently acquired; not only the Li family and Zhu family but many families were seeking Yang Chen, though the reason was unclear.
Now, someone is offering a high price to find Yang Chen’s contact information.
Li Muyang believed it wouldn’t be long before these people came looking for Yang Chen.
"The Zhu family? The Liu family?" Yang Chen surely knew the Zhu family and the Liu family Li Muyang referred to; they were the families controlling Flame Country’s lifeline, extremely vast.
However, Yang Chen didn’t understand why they sought him.
"Looking for me? For what?" Yang Chen asked.
Li Muyang shook his head, "I don’t know, I’ve only heard about it. Not just the Zhu family and the Liu family, other families want to find you too, but these families must have access to the Flame Palace peak’s information. I think it’s related to that, given the mysterious force piqued many’s curiosity, and I’ve heard it seems only the old general can contact them."
"Oh!" Yang Chen nodded slowly, feeling this matter very likely connected to the Shangqing Sect, given the awe its power once displayed.
Presumably, the Beihai Country royalty would now feel uneasy recalling those events!
