The wind blew and the clouds moved, but it was unable to break the tense atmosphere.
Luo Tianshen knitted his brows as he looked at the youth before him. The latter's scarlet eyes were filled with a fearsome persistence and madness, which made him feel a little surprised.
The youth did possess a strong confidence. Furthermore, this confidence didn't seem to be blind, but a confidence that originated from his bones and even his bloodline.
At this moment, Luo Tianshen finally understood why someone as outstanding as his granddaughter, who was doted on by countless people, would fall for the youth before him.
Compared to the other youths, he was indeed a little different.
But even so, Luo Tianshen merely smiled at Mu Chen's words. He shook his head as a faint smile appeared on his solemn and aged face. "My first impression of you wasn't too bad. I believe that I won't just rely on my glib tongue in the future. Luo Li is my granddaughter, and as long as these old bones of mine are still around, I will not allow her to be bullied. If you want to take her away from me again, then you will have to speak with your actions the next time.
"Furthermore, Luo Li won't wait for you forever. So if you feel that you can't catch up to her, then give up. This should be a good thing for both of you."
Mu Chen smiled as he softly said, "Then, Patriarch Luo, please take good care of her for me. I believe that one day, you will change your opinion of me today."
"I hope so. I also look forward to our next meeting."
Luo Tianshen faintly smiled.
In the end, he no longer spoke and waved his hand at Mu Chen before he turned around and left.
This youth possessed a stubbornness and persistence that exceeded his imagination. From the looks of it, he was unable to convince him. However, it didn't matter. Time would prove everything. Time would also gradually allow him to understand the distance between him and Luo Li.
At that time, he would no longer be able to maintain his stubbornness.
Looking at Luo Tianshen's departing silhouette, Mu Chen couldn't help slowly clenching his fist. In the end, he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air. In just a short conversation, he could feel the great pressure coming from Luo Tianshen. The latter did not use any sarcastic words to mock him, but he still vaguely emitted a sense of distance.
Obviously, he didn't think that Mu Chen could really reach the point where he valued him.
However, Mu Chen did not feel any resentment towards this.
After all, with Luo Tianshen's foresight, he had seen too many geniuses. The current Mu Chen.
No matter how firm his words were.
It was impossible for Luo Tianshen to change his mind.
In the distant sky, Luo Li looked at Luo Tianshen with rage in his eyes. His voice became much colder, "What did you say to him?"
"What?
Is he afraid that I'll threaten him?
If some threats can make him give up, then I will really doubt my granddaughter's foresight. "Luo Tianshen smiled.
"I promised you that I will gradually accept the inheritance of the Luo God Clan when I return.
Furthermore, I will take over the Luo God Clan. No matter how difficult it is, I will persevere. "
Luo Li squinted her eyes as she continued, "But I do not wish for you to interfere with his decision.
He is the first person that I have fallen in love with, and he will also be the last.
Even if he doesn't achieve as much in the future, at the very least … "
She raised her pretty face and looked straight at Luo Tianshen. Her glass-like expression suddenly burst forth with a majestic aura akin to that of an empress. "There's still me!"
Standing behind Luo Li, Luo Qingya and Luo Xiu's eyes flickered as they exchanged glances with each other. Their gazes were complicated as they stared at the silhouette of the youth in the distance.
Luo Tianshen looked at Luo Li. The resolution in her eyes made him fall into silence. He had underestimated the relationship between Luo Li and Mu Chen.
After a brief silence, Luo Tianshen bitterly smiled. "I really have no idea what's so good about that brat for you to protect him so much."
"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have the courage to shoulder the burden of the Luo God Clan." Luo Li replied.
"Then I have to thank him."
Luo Tianshen smiled. Soon after, he walked forward and gently patted the young lady's shoulder. "I do not object to your feelings for him. However, there are times when a man does not need protection. Furthermore, I can tell that although this brat appears to be gentle on the surface, the pride in his bones is no less than anyone else's. I really want to see if there will be a day when he will be able to take back my obedient granddaughter from my hands."
"I think you'll lose, Grandfather." Luo Li gently smiled and said.
"Then let's wait and see." Luo Tianshen wasn't bothered by it as he continued, "It's time to go, right?"
Luo Li looked at the silhouette that was looking at them from afar and her eyes turned red once again. She bit on her rosy lips and nodded her head in the end. Her hand gently tugged on the lightning feather of the Lightning Eater Crane. The latter emitted a thunderous roar as it flapped its wings and flew towards the massive spatial vortex.
Looking at Luo Li, who was about to leave, Mu Chen suddenly took a deep breath and roared, "Luo Li, wait for me! Wait for me to become a supreme powerhouse. I will look for you and destroy all those bastards that dare to bully you!"
His voice was enveloped by vigorous Spiritual Energy as it resounded between the heavens and earth like thunder, causing all the students of the Hokuang Reiwon to be dumbfounded.
"This brat …" Even the Northern Sea Dragon and Dean Tai Cang had stunned expressions on their faces, before they couldn't help laughing with admiration filling their eyes.
"Pfft."
Luo Li, who was about to enter the spatial vortex, also chuckled. However, the rims of her eyes turned even redder as she covered her mouth with her hand. She did not turn her head back as she forcefully nodded her head. In the end, she charged into the spatial vortex and disappeared.
Behind her, the lightning crane troop followed closely behind.
Luo Tianshen was the last to leave. He first looked at Mu Chen with a weird gaze as an undetectable smile appeared on his dignified and aged face. However, he still coldly snorted towards Mu Chen, before cupping his hands towards the Northern Sea Dragon and Dean Tai Cang, before turning around and entering the spatial vortex.
Sizzle.
As the spatial vortex slowly revolved, it slowly dissipated and the sky returned to its calm state.
Along with their departure, the pressure that enveloped the entire Hokuang Reiwon quietly dissipated, causing countless students to inwardly sigh in relief as they couldn't help wiping their cold sweat.
Mu Chen still quietly stood as he stared at the direction where the spatial vortex disappeared, not moving for a long time.
The surrounding members of the Goddess Luo Association directed their gazes over, but they did not disturb him. Even Ye Qingling and the rest gently sighed as they got everyone to disperse and not disturb Mu Chen at this moment.
Mu Chen quietly stood for nearly half an hour, before he finally sat down on the towering rock. He laid down, spread his hands out and lightly closed his eyes.
Ling Xi stealthily appeared behind Mu Chen. Shooting a glance at Mu Chen, she did not say anything to disturb him.
Jiu You's dark sparrow descended from the sky, transforming into a slim and graceful figure. Upon seeing Mu Chen's appearance, her willowy eyebrows knitted together as she said, "You can't be dispirited already?
If that's the case, then it's truly disappointing. "
"If your understanding of him is only this much, then your Bloodline Bond is a little too useless." Ling Xi shot a look at Jiu You as she said in an indifferent voice.
"Oh?"
Jiu You's willowy eyebrows twitched as she tilted her head to look at the great beauty dressed in a white dress, who appeared somewhat cold and aloof. A faint smile appeared on her face, one that was tinged with coldness and danger as she said, "Looks like you have an opinion about our Bloodline Bond?"
"If I have the ability, I will definitely undo it. I don't want Mu Chen to be implicated because of certain reasons." Ling Xi replied.
"Undo the Bloodline Bond?
You've overestimated yourself. "Jiu You's alluring red lips curled downwards as she said.
"Do you need me to give it a try?" Ling Xi coldly replied.
"Go ahead and give it a try!"
The two girls stared at each other, neither willing to budge an inch. For some unknown reason, their first meeting was filled with the smell of gunpowder, so much so that swords were drawn.
"Enough!"
However, just as they faintly showed signs of fighting, a shout suddenly rang out. Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, looking towards them with a dignified expression.
However, his dignified expression seemed to be completely useless against the two girls before him.
"Little fellow, aren't you very awe-inspiring?"
Jiu You strode towards Mu Chen with her perfect and slender legs, while the smile on her pretty face appeared somewhat dangerous. Her jade-like hands slowly clenched, causing cracking sounds to ring out.
Ling Xi also looked indifferently towards Mu Chen, while starry light sparkled on her slender fingertips.
"Cough, you guys can continue."
Mu Chen hastily crawled up as he dryly laughed. A wise man knows when to fight when the odds are against him. With the strength of the two girls before him, any one of them could easily crush him.
Seeing Mu Chen's current appearance, Jiu You and Ling Xi's rosy lips uncontrollably curled. However, after exchanging glances, they turned away with a cold snort, as they did not see eye to eye with each other.
"Are you alright now?" Jiu You asked.
"I'm not that weak."
Mu Chen smiled as he raised his head once again. Looking at the direction where the spatial vortex had disappeared, a smile surfaced on his handsome face.
"I'm really looking forward to the day I go to the Luo God Clan. For that day, I will do my best."
"No one can stop me!"
Looking at the familiar confident smile on Mu Chen's face, Jiu You and Ling Xi lightly sighed in relief, feeling gratified.
Mu Chen stretched his waist. From the looks of it, he wouldn't have much time left in Hokuang Reiwon. However, before that, he needed to make a genuine breakthrough.
Only by stepping into the Sovereign Realm, would he have the qualifications to graduate from Hokuang Reiwon!
