Capítulo 1486: Chapter 1457: Li Youxue

The next day, when the group gathered again, they all noticed that Li Chen looked a bit listless.

“Brother Lin, did you, uh… encounter a problem while practicing?” Gongsun You kindly asked.

Munian Jiao chuckled on the side, “I say, Brother Lin Chen, cultivation isn’t something you can rush. If you’re not careful and get possessed, you might ruin yourself.”

Li Chen reached out to rub his cheeks. Was it that obvious?

“Thanks for your concern.” Although he looked a bit weary, there was undisguisable excitement in Li Chen’s eyes.

After testing the abilities of the Five Elements Boots yesterday, Li Chen immediately felt that this adventure might just be worth it!

Though he was almost sucked into a spatial rift and nearly lost amidst the starry sky, he managed to survive and obtained such a supreme treasure. Li Chen felt it was truly worth it.

Thinking of the situation last night when he tested the Five Elements Boots, Li Chen couldn’t hide his delight.

He always had a deep sense of crisis.

Being weaker, he could only be at others’ mercy.

While on the Earth Prison Star Continent, he always tread carefully, not daring to reveal his identity, fearing a real powerhouse might find him. Even after joining Heisha Ridge, Li Chen mostly stayed indoors.

Because he had no assurance in his heart!

But now it was different, he finally had a trump card to save his life.

“Come, come, I’ve already ordered some meals, and after eating, I’ll go meet the Heavenly King Qingyue.” Gongsun You, seeing Li Chen didn’t want to say much, didn’t mind and greeted the others.

“After this is over, I should head back too.” Junsi Shui said from the side.

“Brother Lin, do you have any plans?” You Fu Chen asked Li Chen.

Wu Yi sneered, “For a rogue cultivator like him, running everywhere for cultivation resources, doesn’t matter where he goes, right?”

Li Chen glanced at the guy. Some people always felt superior. Previously, he thought You Fu Chen already had a sense of superiority, but unexpectedly, this guy was even more thorough.

“You’re right.” Li Chen smiled, “For a rogue cultivator like me, I have to create resources with my own hands. Relying solely on others, the future would be just that.”

Wu Yi’s expression changed. Though Li Chen spoke lightly, his meaning was clear.

But such a topic was hard to argue with, so he just snorted and kept quiet.

“Look, look, that girl!”

“So beautiful…”

“Shut up, do you know who she is?”

As they were eating upstairs, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the window.

“What’s happening?” Junsi Shui asked curiously.

Gongsun You, being the closest to the window, looked out and his expression shifted slightly.

“A girl.”

“A girl? Who is it?” Munian Jiao asked.

“Li Youxue!”

At this name, everyone around suddenly fell silent.

“Li Youxue?” Li Chen asked curiously, “Who is that?”

Junsi Shui looked at Li Chen with a peculiar gaze, “Brother Lin, no offense, but I really doubt if you’re from our Tianshang Star Continent since you don’t even know Li Youxue?”

Inwardly, Li Chen was moved but maintained a calm exterior, “What can I say, I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for too long, truly haven’t seen the outside world.”

“Country bumpkin.” Wu Yi sneered.

“Indeed.” Junsi Shui nodded, “Li Youxue’s name has only risen in recent years.”

“Speaking of Li Youxue, it’s actually related to what Gongsun mentioned yesterday,” Junsi Shui shook his head. “Li Youxue is actually the youngest daughter of the Mad King.”

“Oh?”

Li Chen looked at the others and noticed even the usually frivolous Munian Jiao’s expression had turned serious.

“Li Youxue is probably the youngest Heaven Following Realm expert in our Tianshang Star Continent in hundreds of years.” Munian Jiao’s voice was somewhat complex.

“The youngest Heaven Following Realm?” Li Chen was startled.

Turning to look outside the window, sure enough, Li Chen saw a young girl with black hair flowing down, cold and pure as snow, walking towards this inn.

Munian Jiao said somewhat wistfully, “It’s said Li Youxue is only twenty, and just recently, she successfully ascended to the Heaven Following Realm.”

A twenty-year-old Heaven Following Realm expert?

For Li Chen, though his martial training started relatively late, he was now in his thirties and still stuck in the Envy Heaven Realm. Yet a girl in her twenties had broken through to the Heaven Following Realm? How did she cultivate?

The men and women sitting with Li Chen, though looking in their teens or twenties, were actually in their thirties or forties. While such an age was considered young and tender among martial artists, compared to Li Youxue, it was a big gap.

“Some people, we just can’t compare to, no use being envious.” Junsi Shui said somewhat helplessly.

“Now doesn’t represent the future.” You Fu Chen said.

“Makes sense, now doesn’t represent the future.” Gongsun You laughed, “Since ancient times, how many geniuses have emerged from the Heaven Realm? Yet how many have truly become revered super experts? I heard from my elders that even the few Heavenly Lords we have on Tianshang Star Continent weren’t that dazzling in their youth.”

“True.” A smile appeared on everyone’s face.

“When discussing Heavenly Lords, don’t speak lightly.” Munian Jiao reminded.

Gongsun You realized and quickly nodded.

“But why did Li Youxue appear in Lan Yue City at this time?”

“She should be here to find Heavenly King Qingyue.” Gongsun You said, “The Mad King and Heavenly King Qingyue have a good relationship. Now with the Mad King missing, even his two offspring are either hiding or got plotted against. Li Youxue could only come here.”

“In that sense, Li Youxue is actually quite pitiable.”

“Isn’t she?”

Everyone had heard Gongsun You talk about the Mad King’s situation yesterday. From Gongsun You’s account, the Mad King’s current state indeed wasn’t good, with so many people targeting him, making him afraid to show up.

As the Mad King’s youngest daughter, Li Youxue’s situation was naturally even more precarious.

“She actually came to our inn?” Munian Jiao said, “She must have heard that Heavenly King Qingyue hasn’t returned to Lan Yue City yet.”

“Should we ask her to join us for a chat?” Staring at Li Youxue, Wu Yi’s eyes sparkled.

“Are you looking for death? Do you know how many people are watching Li Youxue now? Given so many experts went against the Mad King, who can prove that their subordinates aren’t targeting Li Youxue?” You Fu Chen frowned.

“By the way, Li Youxue’s surname is Li, so the Mad King is also named Li, right?” Junsi Shui asked curiously, “I’ve never actually known the Mad King’s real name.”

Gongsun You nodded, “That’s right. I only found out from elders, the Mad King—Li Changcun.”

“Clatter!”

The cup in Li Chen’s hand suddenly fell to the ground.
