Chapter 282: 206: Visiting and Meeting with the Association President_4
Even Vermilion Bird himself had no chance against Chen Sheng.
Two months.
From a weak office worker.
To a top martial artist capable of suppressing Vermilion Bird.
Isn’t this progression a bit unbelievable?!
Consequently,
Li Sheng’s first thought after reading all of Chen Sheng’s information was,
Chen Sheng’s information must be fake.
It should be noted that,
He had been learning martial arts with Li Wuji since he was a child.
And it was only after the Tide Rising Period began that he achieved his current
status.
Even Li Wuji had once praised him as a rare genius.
As for Vermilion Bird, it took nearly twice as long as Li Sheng to reach his current strength.
Chen Sheng, in just two months?
Even if Li Sheng were to be beaten to death, he would still not believe it.
As a result,
He was extremely wary of Chen Sheng.
When Li Wuji said he wanted to speak with Chen Sheng in private, Li Sheng was the first to protest.
However,
As Li Sheng was speaking.
Li Wuji shakily raised his palm.
“Ah Sheng, I’m not asking for your opinion.”
The withered palm gently waved.
Li Wuji’s voice was extremely weak, and his tone was very bland. But his words were filled with an unquestionable meaning.
“But—”
Li Sheng was concerned for Li Wuji’s safety.
His wariness of Chen Sheng made him want to speak up even at the risk of offending his superior. But at that moment,
“Let’s go!”
Sun Yihe swiftly slapped his thigh and stood up from his chair.
“Alright, alright.”
He came to Li Sheng’s side and grabbed his wrist.
“Your uncle knows what he’s doing.”
“Let’s wait outside.”
With that,
Sun Yihe forcibly dragged Li Sheng out.
And the moment Sun Yihe touched Li Sheng, Chen Sheng noticed with his keen senses,
Li Sheng’s eyes became vacant in an instant.
He was like a puppet, being pulled away by Sun Yihe.
“You two take your time.”
Vermilion Bird, who had been silent and half-closed his eyes while leaning against the door frame, yawned and took a step back, walking out the door.
“Let us know when you’re done talking, we’ll be right outside.”
As his words fell,
Bang!
The wooden door closed instantly. In the courtyard,
Only Chen Sheng and Li Wuji remained.
The atmosphere became very quiet.
Li Wuji gestured for Chen Sheng to sit opposite him. Chen Sheng didn’t hesitate and sat down.
“Aren’t you afraid I have ulterior motives?” He stared directly into Li Wuji’s murky eyes.
Until now,
The man appeared weak. a if he could faint at ani moment
“Young man.”
“When you’ve lived as long as I have, you’ll understand.”
“Appearances reflect the heart; the ancients did not speak in jest.”
“One’s thoughts may seem hidden.” “But in reality, they are all exposed.”
By this point,
Li Wuji slowly straightened his waist, his gaze falling on Chen Sheng.
His eyes were clearly muddy,
But for some reason,
Chen Sheng inexplicably felt as if he was being seen through by someone else.
He subconsciously frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
“Your body doesn’t have that kind of aura.”
“So, I trust you completely.”
Chen Sheng didn’t react.
He didn’t want to dwell on this topic either.
“Moving on.”
“You can state your purpose now.”
Chen Sheng had many more questions that needed answers.
Seeing him on his guard, Li Wuji didn’t mind.
He just smiled slightly.
“Don’t worry.”
“I have no intention of pursuing the matter of the Respected Elder.”
“And Vermilion Bird should have told you already that our goal is the same as yours.”
“I want to deal with the Respected Elder.”
“And… Xiang Li.”
As he said the name Xiang Li, it seemed to be very difficult for Li Wuji.
His expression suddenly became grave.
“Why?”
Chen Sheng noticed this and asked.
“The Respected Elder should be one of your Martial Arts Association’s high-level officials, right?”
‘Moreover, what does dealing with your Association’s people have to do with
Vermilion Bird infiltrating the Holy Sect?”
Hearing Chen Sheng’s confusion,
Li Wuji raised his hand, signaling Chen Sheng to be patient.
“My young friend, I will answer all of your doubts.”
“However, I need to start from the beginning to explain this matter.”
“I hope you can give me some time.”
“In the meantime, if you hear anything surprising or puzzling, please listen to me before reacting. Can you do that?”
“Alright.”
Chen Sheng nodded.
Afterward,
Li Wuji looked up at the sky.
The muddiness in his eyes gradually faded, as his thoughts began to ripple..
