Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340

As soon as Li Yuannan finished speaking, everyone was stunned!

No one had expected that the first thing Li Yuannan would ask upon approaching was where the other party's sword came from?!

Could it be that this sword is special?

Could it be a magic artifact, or perhaps a spiritual artifact?

If so, then it makes sense; he noticed the extraordinary nature of the sword and worried that his son might be in danger, which is why he spoke out to stop it!

Many people immediately had such thoughts!

Su Chen was also a bit confused by this question. Although his sword was not ordinary, he knew this sword was neither a magic artifact nor a spiritual artifact.

"This sword is a gift from my master."

However, Su Chen didn't hide it and told the other party the origin of this sword, as it wasn't anything significant.

If Su Chen's master Gongsun Liang heard this, he would be very pleased, as at least this guy didn't call him an old ghost!

"Master?" Google seaʀᴄh novel[f]ire.net

Upon hearing this, Li Yuannan became extremely excited:

"Are you the apprentice of Master Lingxiao?"

Su Chen nodded, confirming that his old ghost master indeed had a title called Master Lingxiao.

"Do you know my master?"

Su Chen asked curiously.

Li Yuannan nodded excitedly:

"I can't believe you are the apprentice of my benefactor; no wonder you have such cultivation strength at such a young age!"

At this moment, everyone, including Qin Nishang and Dugu Mingyue, were confused about the situation!

Li Yuannan knows his master?

And he even called him benefactor?!

What's going on here?

Su Chen tilted his head and asked.

Li Yuannan warmly took Su Chen's hand:

"Come, let's go and have some tea!"

With that, he pulled Su Chen along, looking as happy as a child!

Su Chen was equally baffled by him; when he came to Lishan Sect today, he thought it shouldn't be too difficult, but now it seems to have turned into an unexpected twist!

In the reception room, after everyone was seated again, the two servants came up again, pouring tea for everyone!

Everyone was now utterly confused, unable to understand what exactly had happened?

From the initial tea drinking to the later clash, and now back to tea drinking, it had left everyone's minds tangled!

"Li old man, earlier you said you knew my master, what's the story behind that?"

"We'll talk about that later."

Li Yuannan waved his hand and said:

"How's your master these days?"

"You mean that old ghost? He's doing great, eating and drinking well!"

Su Chen smirked and said.

"That's nice, that's nice!"

Li Yuannan replied with a satisfied smile.

However, he was curious why Su Chen, the apprentice, directly called his benefactor an old ghost.

Though it was a bit strange, it wasn't his place to comment on matters between master and apprentice.

In fact, when he saw that sword, he vaguely guessed Su Chen's identity!

Because back then, that sword left an incredibly deep impression on him; if it wasn't personally gifted by his benefactor, he believed no one in this world could possibly get that sword from him!

At the moment, he was extremely happy; who would have thought he would see his benefactor's apprentice in his lifetime!

Subsequently, the two started chatting in the reception room as everyone else observed them!

Of course, primarily it was Li Yuannan asking questions and Su Chen answering, with Li Yuannan appearing very happy!

Qin Nishang thought to herself: No wonder he wasn't worried about Wuji Sect or the like, turns out he has a master behind him!

It was just unclear what kind of person his master was, but judging by Li Yuannan's behavior, he might be an extraordinary master; otherwise, he wouldn't have taught such an apprentice like Su Chen!

Thinking of this, some of her worries had eased.

However, she didn't realize she had misunderstood completely; Su Chen wasn't worried because he was confident in his own strength!

Dugu Mingyue's beautiful eyes were always fixed on Su Chen, finding him increasingly interesting!

At this moment, seeing Old Li in a good mood, Su Chen took the opportunity to explain:

"Old Li, today, when I invited Miss Qin and Miss Dugu here, it wasn't to oppress anyone, but I thought since I'm not very familiar with Old Li, it would be good to have two people from your circle to help talk, maybe persuade Old Li some, being from the same circle might make things easier to listen."

Su Chen naturally wouldn't say he invited the two women out of courtesy; saying so would spoil the sentiment!

However, Li Yuannan and the others weren't fools, and they instantly understood the meaning behind his words!

"Oh, why didn't you clarify earlier, making such a fuss!"

Li Yuannan slapped his leg in regret.

Upon hearing this, Li Ting and the others, including Dugu Mingyue and Qin Nishang, couldn't help but laugh!

His words were implying, did he give anyone a chance to explain earlier?

Seeing everyone's laughter, Li Yuannan laughed awkwardly too, realizing he might have been too impulsive before!

Nonetheless, Su Chen wouldn't dwell on this now; instead, he looked at Li Yuannan:

"Li old man, what about that matter..."

"Yes, father, let it go!"

Li Ting, being quite decent, knew this was a rare opportunity and also urged his father.

Hearing this, Su Chen looked at him with a smile.

"Let's talk about that later."

Li old man waved his hand again.

Su Chen immediately realized that the old man wanted to talk to him privately later.

With this realization, Su Chen wasn't in a hurry, and continued chatting with him.

If the conversation went well, wouldn't it be easier to discuss later?!

Anyway, hasn't the situation turned around again?

Indeed, after a while, Li Yuannan stood up and said:

"Little Su, come with me to the study room, Li Ting, you take good care of Miss Qin and Miss Dugu!"

Li Ting quickly responded.

"I'll be back shortly."

Su Chen smiled at the two women, then followed Li Yuannan out of the reception room.

Soon after, the two arrived at a study room not far away.

The study was somewhat old-fashioned and simple, which quite suited the old man's personality!

"Li old man, what's the story between you and my master?"

After sitting down on a rattan chair, Su Chen curiously asked.

"It's a long story, it was many years ago!"

Li Yuannan's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence before he began explaining to Su Chen.

It turned out that many years ago, Li Yuannan went out on an adventure with several followers and discovered a cave!

They obtained some treasures inside, and as they were leaving, they encountered people from the Evil Path!

They hadn't expected that, and they were still holding those treasures at the time!

Originally, good and evil were naturally opposed, let alone having the treasures involved!

Inevitably, a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides!
