24: Chapter 24: Who Knows a Young Girl’s Thoughts?

This night, Moo Xi suffered from insomnia.

She is usually someone who could fall asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow.

But tonight, she kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

For some reason, the figure of Li Chen and the few words he said lingered in Moo Xi’s mind, the chief culprit of her insomnia tonight.

“Hmph, so full of himself.

It’s just that he’s a bit skillful, what’s so great about that!”

Moo Xi muttered resentfully, then subconsciously lowered her head, staring unblinkingly at the prominent peaks beneath her neck.

“Isn’t it big enough, why would he despise me?”

“Pffft, Moo Xi, Moo Xi, what are you thinking about wildly?

Is he blind, and why are you going crazy too?

He’s so full of himself, who does he think he is, why should you care about his opinion?”

Just when Moo Xi was getting a bit neurotic, a slight sound of footsteps came from downstairs.

Moo Xi listened carefully; it was Ruifeng talking to Grandfather.

The distance was too far, and she couldn’t hear clearly.

However, she still vaguely heard the words “Li Chen.”

“Grandfather, what happened?”

Ruifeng glanced at Old Sir Moo’s expression, and seeing that he didn’t intend to stop him, he briefly relayed that Li Chen had called them to go to the police station.

Moo Xi blinked her eyes, clearly shocked.

“That pompous guy, what’s he asking us to go to the police station for, to pull strings?”

Old Sir Moo nodded and said, “Ruifeng, go and get the car ready.

I’ll go there personally!”

Hearing that the old gentleman was taking matters into his own hands, both Moo Xi and Ruifeng were stupefied.

Moo Xi, puzzled, said, “Grandfather, for such a small matter, do you really need to go personally?

Uncle Tang from the city bureau used to be under your command; can’t you just call him to let the person go?”

Old Sir Moo shook his head and said, “Xixi, you don’t understand.

Though a phone call could solve this issue, making a personal appearance can better demonstrate the Moo Family’s stance!”

Moo Xi pouted, somewhat jealously recalcitrant, “Grandfather, it’s just a guy who loves to be full of himself, why do you value him so much?”

“Xixi, you must not entertain such thoughts.

Li Chen is no ordinary person.

Who knows, he might be the next Li Lingtian!”

Upon hearing this thunderous name “Li Lingtian”, Moo Xi was taken aback in her heart.

Who is Li Lingtian?

His fame is known to all in Huaxia, striking like thunder.

He is the flagbearer of Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts’s pinnacle during the past century!

He is the undefeated legend who consecutively won 139 matches against top-notch masters!

He alone made it so that other six Great Families in the north couldn’t compare, and suppressed the nine Great Families of Jiangnan for twenty consecutive years.

“Grandfather, aren’t you overestimating him?”

“Heh, overestimating?

Moo Xi, do you believe that if Li Lingtian and Li Chen were at the same age, the former might not necessarily be stronger than the latter?”

After that, Old Sir Moo said with a very serious expression, earnestly, “Xixi, you mustn’t be prejudiced against Li Chen.

Though he’s a little-known figure now, people grow.

What about in five years?

Ten years?

Or twenty years?”

“Grandfather, although my talent in Martial Arts is mediocre, these eyes of mine have never been mistaken.

I dare to assert, Li Chen is no ordinary man, and one day, he will soar to the skies.

Just like Li Lingtian, making his name known throughout the universe!”

Seeing that Grandfather was so categorical, Moo Xi’s curiosity about Li Chen deepened by a few degrees.

In her impression, had Grandfather ever favored someone so highly before?

Li Chen, what secrets do you hold?

Old Sir Moo, noticing his security officer Ruifeng, was still standing there motionless, deliberately straightened his face, and spoke in a low voice.

“Ruifeng, what are you still dawdling here for, hurry and get the car ready, don’t let young friend Li Chen wait too long!”

“Grandfather, it’s already early morning, and you’re older now, better to stay home and rest.

I’ll go with Brother Feng!”

Old Sir Moo indeed had plans to match his granddaughter Moo Xi with Li Chen, and hearing her say this, he did not refuse.

“Alright then, it’s okay if you go.

However, Xixi, you must remember, no matter what happens, don’t be too rash!”

Moo Xi pouted, with a hint of sour jealousy, said, “Grandfather, I got it, you’ve already said it eight times.

Why do you make it sound like Li Chen is your grandson and I’m just an outsider!”

Old Sir Moo chuckled and shook his head, jesting, “Whether Li Chen can become my grandson depends on whether you can get his name onto our Moo Family’s household registration book.”

“Eh?

To get Li Chen’s name on the Moo Family’s household registration book?”

Moo Xi was stunned for quite a while before she realized, blushing she said, “Grandfather, what are you talking about?

Aren’t you afraid your granddaughter might get whisked away by someone?”

Old Sir Moo stroked his beard and chuckled, teasing, “You make a good point.

With a Martial Arts prodigy like Li Chen, he certainly wouldn’t marry into our family lightly.

Your name being on their Li Family’s household registration book is probably more likely!”

“Grandfather, if you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you.

Hmph, stinky Grandfather!”

Moo Xi stomped her foot and huffed, showing her protest.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.

Fate is predestined by the heavens, not by human efforts, and cannot be forced.

Ruifeng has already brought the car out, go with him, and be careful on the road!”

“Mhm, okay!”

Moo Xi, with a blushing face, acknowledged and “thump-thump-stomp” went downstairs.

The words Grandfather just said kept floating in Moo Xi’s mind.

Marrying off to Li Chen?

That guy, who is only good at being pompous and annoying, how could I possibly marry him?

I don’t know if Grandfather is becoming senile, having such absurd ideas, it’s simply messing up the matchmaking.
