Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 670 The Li Family Comes to Discuss Alliance

Li Haoran became displeased upon hearing the threatening words.

“Brother Chengwen, my Li family is unwilling to bear those fabricated charges.”

"In the grand competition three days from now, my Li family fears no one. Brother Chengwen, if you have nothing else to say, please leave!"

Luo Chengwen laughed heartily after hearing this.

Then he turned to the burly man beside him and said, "Senior Tiger, let's go. There's no meat to eat here. On the day of the competition, you can eat a few members of the Li family, hahahahahaha."

After saying that, Luo Chengwen laughed loudly and led Elder Hu out of the Li family.

Seeing Luo Chengwen's arrogant attitude, Li Haoran slammed his hand on the table.

"Hmph, the Luo family will become a vassal of my Li family sooner or later. Just wait and see."

After Li Haoran finished speaking, he walked outside.

He remembered that Chu Chen had told him that he was from Tongluo County.

Also for the grand competition, he accompanied the county magistrate to the central city.

Therefore, he wanted to inform him of this news and express his own attitude.

In this way, he could consider it an apology for spying on him before.

With nothing else to do, Chu Chen was explaining the supreme human magic to two young maids.

Then a voice called out from outside the door: "The Li family patriarch, Senior Li Haoran, has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "Why isn't this guy at home cultivating to reach the Divine Realm? What's he doing here?"

Du Yueshen, the magistrate of Tongluo County, also heard the sound.

So he quickly ran out of the room and went to greet Li Haoran.

"Du Yueshen, Magistrate of Tongluo County, pays his respects to Senior Li!"

"Oh, you're the county magistrate? That's right. Is Young Master Chu Chen here?"

Du Yueshen became excited immediately after hearing this.

Judging from Li Haoran's tone, he didn't come to interrogate him, but rather to make friends.

So he quickly said, "Senior Li, please take a seat in the main hall. I will go and invite him out right away."

Just then, Chu Chen appeared in front of Li Haoran.

"No need. It would be impolite of me not to greet the dignified head of the Li family."

"Haha, Young Master Chu, you flatter me. I am not the kind of person who cares about such trivial matters."

After hearing this, Li Haoran immediately laughed it off and walked towards Chu Chen.

"Hehe, what Patriarch Li said is very true, but Patriarch Li's ability to conceal himself needs to be improved!"

Chu Chen retorted without backing down.

The meaning is quite clear: since you've already made a deal with me, why are you still spying on me?

Moreover, whether those people from the Luo family were brought here by you is another matter.

Li Haoran touched his nose somewhat awkwardly after hearing this.

At this moment, Du Yueshen also noticed the misunderstanding between the two, so he quickly spoke up in the middle.

"Seniors, come on, let's sit down and talk!"

Li Haoran gave Du Yueshen a grateful look: "Haha, yes, then I'll have to trouble Magistrate Du."

After saying that, he gestured for Chu Chen to proceed.

After the two sat down, Du Yueshen ordered someone to bring tea, and then, understanding the situation, led his maids out of the main hall.

"Young Master Chu, it seems you have some misunderstandings about me."

As soon as he sat down, Li Haoran said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Haha, I wouldn't dare. Patriarch Li, what important matter brings you here today?"

Chu Chen was too lazy to waste words with him. He believed that Li Haoran was not the kind of person who would abandon someone after they had served their purpose. Even if he was, so what? He had already obtained the jade essence.

When Chu Chen asked, Li Haoran immediately explained what had happened yesterday to him.

He pondered Chu Chen's attitude before deciding whether to voice his concerns.

"You mean, the Luo family saw that your Li family had so many carriages, so they sent people to investigate?"

“That’s right, Young Master Chu, the Luo family is not to be trifled with. Today, they even brought a burly expert from the Heavenly Realm, known as Senior Tiger, to my Li family to make threats.”

Senior Tiger? Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately had an idea, thinking to himself, could it be that tiger-headed man from Great Xia?

He was burly, loved to eat meat, didn't talk much, and possessed the strength of a Heavenly Realm cultivator—and not just any ordinary Heavenly Realm cultivator.

After asking a few questions, Chu Chen became excited.

If it really is that tiger-headed man, then has Shenxu also come to Anchang Kingdom?

If that's the case, then that would be fun.

“Young Master Chu, you must be wary of the Luo family and your friend Ding. He has offended the Luo family.”

After hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself that Li Haoran had recognized Ding Yun. It seemed that this matter was becoming more and more interesting.

If that's the case, then the plan to support the Li family and then take advantage of the chaos to steal the jade essence can be implemented.

So Chu Chen asked Li Haoran, "That's right, Ding Yun offended the Luo family, but yesterday's events also caused the Luo family to offend me to death."

"I think Patriarch Li should understand what I mean."

"Rest assured, Young Master Chu, the Li family will always stand by your side."

Taking the opportunity, Li Haoran revealed the purpose of his trip: to win over Chu Chen.

"To show our sincerity, we will protect Ding Yun. Moreover, Tongluo County will not do too badly in this competition. And if Young Master Chu ever needs anything from the Li family, just let us know."

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that the Li family would be glad they made this choice in the future.

"Alright, since Patriarch Li says so, then I won't hold back."

“I know you don’t get along with the Luo family, so the Luo family is the first family we need to eliminate. As for that tiger-headed man, you don’t need to worry about him.”

Upon hearing Chu Chen's promise, Li Haoran burst into laughter with excitement.

Since Chu Chen said there's nothing to fear about that tiger-headed man, then there really is nothing to fear.

It can instantly kill a Heavenly Realm expert, even the God Realm expert within the Imperial Power cannot do that.

Therefore, he was confident in placing his bets on Chu Chen.

"Young Master Chu, what do you want?"

"Hehe, it's very simple. I only want the jade essence. I don't care about any other rights or anything else."

"Alright, in that case, let's have a pleasant collaboration!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Afterwards, the two discussed the details of the grand competition before Li Haoran got up and left.

At the door, Li Haoran looked at Du Yueshen, who was bowing and scraping.

So he stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Magistrate Du, from now on, you will be a guest of my Li family. In the grand competition, you and your people will sit on the left side of my Li family's seats."

After hearing Li Haoran's words, Du Yueshen was so happy that she didn't know what to say.

Becoming a retainer of the Li family means that not only Tongluo County, but also himself, will never be bullied again.

Even Wang Chong, a disciple of one of the four great families, was affected after the Li family announced the results of this competition.

Everyone has to carefully consider their own strength.

So he quickly knelt down before Li Haoran: "On behalf of Tongluo County, Du Yueshen thanks Senior Li for his guidance."

"Haha, no need to thank me, old man. If you want to thank someone, go thank the one sitting inside."
