My gorgeous wife-Chapter 1844 - 1813: Mo Baishan

What Li Chen didn’t expect was that before he could contact Yang Xin, the jade slip started flashing.

The person proactively contacting him was Mo Chenxi.

"Teacher."

"Hmm, what’s up?" Li Chen asked curiously, "Aren’t you preparing to participate in the competition?"

"Teacher," Mo Chenxi laughed, "My matches are in the later rounds, so I still have some time. It’s just that my father somehow found out about your existence, so he wants to meet you."

"Meet me?" Li Chen was taken aback. He’s just an Earth Immortal; what’s there to see?

Mo Chenxi’s father, the Young Family Head of the Mo clan, is quite a remarkable figure even in the Mo clan. Why would he want to see him?

Wait, could it be that Mo Chenxi revealed that he taught her the sword technique?

Probably not.

Li Chen shook his head again. When teaching Mo Chenxi the sword technique, he had agreed on three rules, one of which was not to tell others that he taught her the sword technique.

Then... the only possibility is that Ning Chenhai told the other party about him.

"Alright." Li Chen sighed inwardly and responded, "Where are you now? I’ll be right over."

"Okay!" Mo Chenxi laughed, "I’m in box 31 in the first row on the southeast side. Just knock on the door when you arrive, teacher."

Li Chen: "..."

Why does this grand occasion feel like looking for a seat in a movie theater?

Thinking about it, anyway, his current state is at a baseline, and unless he actively exposes it, no one can detect his soul realm’s divine sense. So, Li Chen relaxed, left his box, and found box 31 as Mo Chenxi mentioned.

He knocked on the door, and a gentle voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Li Chen opened the box and slowly stepped in.

There weren’t many people inside; besides Mo Chenxi, there were only two others, one being Mo Chenxi’s bodyguard, Ning Chenhai, and the other a young man sitting casually.

But... why is there a sofa here?

Even though Li Chen had gotten used to the ascension of cultivators from technological civilizations, seeing a modern item so out of place in such an antiquated setting still made him a little uncomfortable.

The young man had a handsome appearance, looking to be in his twenties at most, and bore six or seven similarities with Mo Chenxi, appearing to be Mo Chenxi’s brother.

However, Li Chen could tell that this young man likely possessed at least the cultivation of a Great Yi True Immortal.

As Li Chen studied the young man, he was also being studied in return, while Ning Chenhai stood silent on the side, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"Linchuan, let me introduce you; this is my father, Mo Baishan. Dad, he is Linchuan, my good friend," Mo Chenxi quickly interjected upon noticing the awkwardness.

"I’m honored to meet you," Li Chen said with a fake smile.

"Pleasure to meet you," Mo Baishan replied, his smile not reaching his eyes.

Ning Chenhai: "..."

Mo Chenxi: "..."

"Ahem!" After a period of weird awkwardness, Li Chen finally cleared his throat, cupped his hands, and asked, "Why did senior urgently call the junior over? Is there something urgent?"

Li Chen had experienced many things over the years; although his appearance hadn’t changed much, his demeanor was steadier than before. Mo Baishan appeared even younger than Li Chen by looks alone, making Li Chen feel uncomfortable calling him ’senior.’

"There’s nothing urgent," Mo Baishan spoke softly, being the Young Clan Leader of the Mo clan. Although he found Li Chen a bit unsightly, he maintained his manners.

"I just heard my daughter happened to make a new friend, so I wanted to meet him."

Li Chen was speechless. You’re seriously auditing your daughter’s friendships this formally? You’re quite controlling as a dad!

Li Chen thought that if he had a daughter in the future, when she made friends outside, he’d surely... audit them too.

"I am Linchuan, a loose cultivator, greetings senior," Li Chen cupped his hands again and said earnestly.

"Hmm." Seeing Li Chen’s attitude, Mo Baishan was slightly more satisfied and nodded, saying, "Being a loose cultivator must make cultivating particularly tough, right? How old are you, may I ask?"

Hearing his question, Li Chen sensed something amiss, but he replied, "Junior has cultivated for forty years, and has luckily reached my current realm."

"Hmm," Mo Baishan nodded but said nothing more.

In Mo Baishan’s heart, however, he began to quickly ponder.

"Cultivating for forty years to reach Earth Immortal, this talent is decent outside... but in the Mo clan, it’s pretty average, right?"

"But wait, he’s a loose cultivator. Loose cultivators surely lack cultivation resources; in such a poor environment, reaching Earth Immortal in forty years could mean he’s a genius? Back then I took thirty years to reach Earth Immortal."

"But my daughter is Mo clan’s genius, about to break through to Profound Immortal at twenty. This kid... won’t do won’t do!"

Li Chen looked at Mo Baishan’s calm face but darting eyes, and a peculiar feeling grew stronger within him.

What’s going on? Something isn’t right for sure!

At this moment, a sound transmission suddenly reached Li Chen’s ear.

"Linchuan, right? Your talent is good, but if you’re thinking of pursuing my daughter, you’re a bit lacking. So you better give up!"

Li Chen: "..."

After organizing his words, Li Chen quickly replied, "I’m not pursuing her; we’re just casually acquainted, simply by chance. Anyway, I’m just an Earth Immortal; are you really so insecure about your daughter?"

Mo Baishan, "Young man, it’s been a long time since anyone talked to me like that!"

Li Chen, "Those who don’t say anything probably have something to hide. I’m unashamed and thus can say anything."

Mo Baishan, "Such confidence; tell me, what will it take for you to leave my daughter?"

Li Chen was inwardly pleased; he was just worrying about finding a way out.

Li Chen said expressionlessly, "I was originally planning to leave after the competition, but if I suddenly leave, wouldn’t Chenxi be suspicious?"

Mo Baishan raised his eyebrow, "Looks like you have some self-awareness! But don’t worry about that; if you really want to leave, I’ll arrange a secret passage for you to quietly leave, guaranteed that Chenxi won’t notice."

Li Chen suddenly straightened up and looked at Mo Baishan, "But if I leave just because I’m told, wouldn’t that damage my dignity?"

Mo Baishan gritted his teeth, "From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were trouble; don’t worry, I’ll prepare you a satisfactory travel fund when you leave."

Li Chen nodded proudly, "Deal!"

Mo Baishan smiled, "Deal!"

Mo Chenxi looked at Li Chen and her father puzzlingly, unsure of what they were doing, was this some kind of face-off?
