(Revised Chapter) 15: Chapter 15 Please Hold On!
(Revised Chapter) Seeing the girl in white blocking his way, Li Chen’s expression was slightly stunned.
Then, he reached out to push away the girl’s delicate, lotus-root-like arms, pointed at her chest, and said with a chuckle, “It’s just the two of us here, who else could I possibly dislike?”
The girl in white is named Moo Xi, a young lady from the Jiangnan Moo Family, and has been extraordinarily talented since childhood, always the center of attention and the pride of the heavens.
When has she ever been openly disliked like this?
Moreover, it was by a green-looking boy who seemed to be two or three years younger than her.
Instantly, Moo Xi felt her teeth grit with anger.
“How dare you dislike me?”
Li Chen looked at Moo Xi somewhat surprised and said leisurely, “Disliking someone, just like liking someone, doesn’t need any reason at all!”
Moo Xi had a face full of disbelief; she was actually disliked by a boy, and without any reason at that.
It was unbearable.
“Today, if you don’t give me a reason, don’t even think about leaving this place!”
As she spoke, Moo Xi even rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was ready to throw punches.
Seeing this, Li Chen smiled indifferently.
“Beauty, the world is so wonderful, yet you are so irascible, that’s not very good, you know; it might make it hard for you to get married!”
“How dare you!
Whether I can get married or not, what does it have to do with you?”
Faced with Li Chen’s blatant teasing, Moo Xi became furiously embarrassed and swung her pink fists towards his face.
Li Chen remained unmoved, his lips curving into a composed and natural smile.
Just as Moo Xi’s pink fist was about to hit his face, Li Chen swiftly caught her pale wrist.
Moo Xi struggled twice, but still couldn’t free herself from Li Chen’s hold.
Moreover, because she used too much force, her body’s center of gravity became unstable, and she fell backward.
Just as Moo Xi was about to hit the ground, Li Chen, quick as lightning, wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
Moo Xi had always held herself in high regard and had never been this close to the opposite sex.
Blushing furiously, she snapped, “You rogue, let go of me!”
“Okay!”
Li Chen replied succinctly with an “okay” and immediately let go of his hands.
“Thud!”
Losing the support of Li Chen’s hands, Moo Xi fell heavily to the ground.
“Ouch, you jerk, did you do that on purpose?”
Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, “Wasn’t it you who asked me to let go?
Why are you blaming me now?”
“You… you…”
Moo Xi, knowing she was at a loss, stuttered for a while, managing only to utter the word “you.”
Seeing her angry expression, Li Chen truly found it somewhat playful and cute, so he could not help but shake his head and said, “Can I leave now?”
Moo Xi grunted disgruntledly, “Hmph, keep dreaming!”
Li Chen nodded, “Yes, I’ve always been quite a dreamer!”
Faced with Li Chen’s thick-skinned and extremely narcissistic persona, Moo Xi straightaway admitted defeat in the face of his charm.
Just then, an angry shout came from not far away.
“Stop, let go of our young lady!”
Immediately, a tall and lean young man rushed towards Li Chen with the speed of a cheetah pouncing on a rabbit.
Seeing the person approaching, Li Chen slightly furrowed his eyebrows; judging by the running speed and momentum, the other must be a master at the peak of the Xiantian stage.
However, even so, in Li Chen’s eyes, he was still not enough!
Li Chen, still as a mountain, performed a Tai Chi Pushing, effortlessly neutralizing the young man’s attack with the force of diverting a thousand pounds with just four ounces.
The young man saw his Iron Fist, which could kill a Fierce Tiger, felt as though it hit cotton, light and without any force applied, which left him quite astonished.
He steadied his mind and executed a standard Grapple, attempting to grab Li Chen’s shoulder.
Li Chen sneered coldly, saying, “Humph, such petty tricks, and you dare to show off in front of me?”
The young man, hearing his consistently successful Killing Technique being reduced to a petty trick by a student, immediately turned livid with anger.
“Boy, you’re quite arrogant!”
Li Chen raised his eyebrows, coldly saying, “That’s because I have the capital to be arrogant!”
“Today I will show you what a real Grapple is!”
As he spoke, Li Chen’s arm, like a dancing golden snake, twined around the young man’s arm, reaching and grabbing his shoulder.
The young man, feeling his shoulder being grabbed, panicked and staggered backwards.
“Hmph, you think you can break free?”
While the words were still on the tip of his tongue, Li Chen burst out shouting.
“Get up!”
In an instant, the young man felt his body was no longer his own, completely out of control, and he was thrown straight onto the concrete floor, landing in disarray, seeing stars.
Seeing this unbelievable scene, Moo Xi’s mouth gaped open in an “O” shape.
This young man, named Ruifeng, was a Muay Thai master and had even appeared on Martial Arts Wind, having wonchampion in the World Boxing Championship.
Yet, who would have thought that such a formidable person couldn’t even withstand a single exchange with this boy in his late teens?
It was truly inconceivable!
Li Chen raised an eyebrow, saying, “Anything else?
If not, I’ll be leaving.”
Just after stepping away, he turned back and with a slight smile towards the still stunned Moo Xi, said, “By the way, a kind tip for you, the punches you were just throwing had twenty-two flaws, four of which are quite fatal.
Overall, it was pretty mediocre.
You are missing three moves.
If you can complete these last three moves, this set of moves can barely be considered third-rate!”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Moo Xi almost spurted blood.
Her style, called “Sticking To Old Ways,” was passed down by the ancestor of the Moo Family in the Pre-Qin Period.
However, due to the war chaos later, the manual was damaged and the crucial three moves unfortunately got lost.
Even so, with this incomplete set of moves, the Moo Family had stood strong in Jiangnan for a hundred years without falling.
Yet, such a set of moves that could decide the rise and fall of a century-old aristocratic family, in Li Chen’s words, turned into third-rate.
And that, even under the condition of completing the final crucial three moves.
Apart from “shocked,” Moo Xi really couldn’t think of any other words to express her feelings at the moment.
Just then, a white-haired but still vigorous old man briskly walked towards them.
“This young man, please wait!”
What do you think?
