Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1208 - 1205: Taking the Initiative

Li Chen saw Zhou Yan’er here too, and noticing her seemingly eager to eat him alive, he just smiled faintly.

"I’m quite comfortable living here, although I prefer quiet. Today, Third Miss barged in uninvited and even attacked my maid. She kept saying this is the Zhou Family and tried to chase us out!"

"I’m worried that staying here any longer would be bothersome, so I came to take my leave!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhou Yan’er, who was fuming beside him, was dumbfounded on the spot.

What’s the meaning of this? Is the villain complaining first?

"You’re lying, clearly you bullied me first, and then, and then..."

Zhou Yan’er originally wanted to mention that Li Chen spanked her, but such words were too humiliating to utter.

In response, Li Chen did not argue but casually flicked out a crystal light ball.

This was a memory crystal, similar to a phone’s recording function. It could temporarily store the events that occurred.

However, unlike a phone’s recording function, this thing was mostly single-use.

In that respect, it was quite similar to "burn after reading."

The memory crystal captured the moment when Zhou Yan’er set foot in the courtyard until she fought fiercely with Ji Lingling and had the upper hand, ready for the final blow, and then stopped.

This footage completely matched what Li Chen just described.

This left Zhou Zheng and Sai Jinhua, the pair of old foxes, in a state of instant shock.

It turned out their granddaughter was at fault first, and they knew Zhou Yan’er’s character very well. Pampered and spoiled since childhood, she was capable of such behavior.

Given the current situation, they couldn’t even think about reprimanding Li Chen. Instead, they had to give him a satisfactory explanation for this matter. Otherwise, their plan to recruit Li Chen would be completely in vain.

Zhou Yan’er, hearing Li Chen actually turning the tables and accusing her, trembled with anger.

"You, you, you slander me, clearly it was you..."

Regarding Li Chen spanking her and wanting her to be a maid, Zhou Yan’er couldn’t bring herself to say out loud.

She blushed red, nearly bleeding from embarrassment.

Zhou Zheng deliberately put on a stern face and scolded, "Yan’er, shut up and apologize to Mr. Li immediately!"

After admonishing his granddaughter, he turned to Li Chen with an apologetic smile and said, "Mr. Li, Yan’er has been spoiled since childhood and is a bit willful. But she has a good heart and no malicious intent, please forgive her!"

In response, Li Chen didn’t press his advantage but chuckled and replied that he understood.

After all, he only intended to inform Zhou Zheng that he was going to seclude himself for alchemy and asked him to discipline his unruly granddaughter.

However, upon seeing Zhou Yan’er, he immediately realized that this girl was likely here to complain. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to take action first.

As for leaving the Zhou Family, it was not a genuine intention but a strategic retreat.

After all, the Zhou Family still had significant use for him.

Now was not the time to part ways.

Li Chen accepted Zhou Zheng’s apology and straightforwardly stated his real purpose for coming this time.

Zhou Zheng was quite shocked to hear that Li Chen could also practice alchemy.

"You are also an alchemist?"

Li Chen smiled faintly, and casually said, "I know a little bit!"

With Zhou Zheng’s discerning eyes, he naturally could tell that Li Chen was being very modest.

Moreover, he was increasingly impressed with Li Chen, eager to recruit him at once.

"Mr. Li, if you need any spiritual materials for alchemy, feel free to ask. As long as my Zhou Family can provide, we will spare no effort!"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Patriarch Zhou. I have all the spiritual materials I need, I just hope not to be disturbed during the alchemy process!"

Before Li Chen could finish speaking, Zhou Zheng took it upon himself to assure him that he could practice alchemy at ease, and as long as he was at the Zhou Family, no one would disturb him.

The discussion between the two sides concluded happily!

However, there was one person who was far from happy.

And that was Zhou Yan’er!

Two hours ago, Li Chen had spanked her, giving her an unprecedented humiliation.

Just now, Li Chen turned the tables and accused her, giving her an unprecedented grievance.

And now, she saw her most beloved grandfather, scold her, his own granddaughter, for an outsider.

All at once, feelings of humiliation, grievance, and resentment overwhelmed her heart. Zhou Yan’er’s tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Li Chen, I hate you!"

Gritting her teeth, she screamed before running out crying.

Witnessing this, Zhou Zheng appeared somewhat embarrassed.

"Mr. Li, my granddaughter has been spoiled, I hope you don’t mind!"

Li Chen watched Zhou Yan’er’s departing figure and casually replied.

"Third Miss certainly has a strong personality!"

After saying this, Li Chen got up and took his leave.

What happened to Zhou Yan’er wasn’t of much concern to him, as long as she didn’t try to cause trouble again.

However, judging by the current situation, there was little hope.

Indeed, Li Chen’s guess was spot on.

Considering Zhou Yan’er’s character, she would not let this rest.

She ran all the way to the outskirts, wielding her Spiritual Snake Whip, and began lashing out crazily at an ancient thousand-year-old tree.

As if she wanted to pour all the anger in her heart onto this ancient tree.

"Damn Li Chen, the humiliation I suffered today, someday I will make you pay back ten or a hundred times over!"

"Who dared to upset my sister Yan’er, and made you so angry?"

At this moment, a male voice suddenly sounded.

Soon, a handsome young man with a jade-like face, holding a white-feathered fan, walked in slowly.

Upon seeing this young man approaching, Zhou Yan’er realized she had lost her composure and blushing, exclaimed.

"Brother Nanyan, what brings you here?"

The visitor was none other than Nanyan Long of the Nanyan Family!

Nanyan Long, true to his name, was a rare dragon among men.

Moreover, he was incredibly handsome and dashing, and being from the Nanyan Family, he was the dream boy and perfect lover for countless young girls.

Zhou Yan’er was no exception!

Nanyan Long folded the white-feathered fan in his hand and said, "My master mentioned that there will be an alchemy competition next month and insisted I come and see. With nothing else to do, I wandered around, and unexpectedly met Sister Yan’er here!"

"By the way, Sister Yan’er, who upset you?"

"It’s Li Chen, just a loose cultivator. It’s said he has some talent, so my grandfather, that old fool, regards him as an honored guest!"

Mentioning the name "Li Chen," Zhou Yan’er almost gritted her teeth to powder. "Deep-seated hatred" barely described her feelings at this moment.

However, this sparked great interest in Li Chen from Nanyan Long.

After all, a loose cultivator treated as an honored guest by the Zhou Family Patriarch.

This person must have something extraordinary about them!

Nonetheless, Nanyan Long was merely curious and didn’t think much of it.

After all, he, Nanyan Long, was a true dragon among men, Heaven’s Chosen Son.

Some talented loose cultivator was not worth his attention.

Nanyan Long opened his fan again, and with a chuckle, said, "Sister Yan’er, don’t be angry. When there’s a chance in the future, I’ll definitely help you seek revenge and vent this anger!"

Hearing Nanyan Long’s words, Zhou Yan’er couldn’t help but feel elated. She nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick.

"Brother Nanyan, you are the Heaven’s Chosen Son of our entire Flame Dragon Dynasty. That Li Chen is just a humble loose cultivator, he’s nothing more than a lowly worm in the presence of someone like you, a true dragon among men!"
