Chapter 1595 - 1592: I’m Not Interested in You!
Li Chen nodded slightly to them and said a word of "Thank you," then walked straight past.
However, just as they took two steps, they suddenly heard Wang Jin behind them, calling out with a slightly trembling voice.
"Please wait, both of you!"
Li Chen stopped his footsteps and asked coldly, "Is there something you need?"
Wang Jin hurriedly stepped forward, speaking with a tone of plea, "Our Wang Family convoy is surrounded by Bandit Jifeng, it’s in grave danger. I hope you can help rescue us!"
Li Chen carefully scrutinized Wang Jin, then asked with keen interest, "I am unfamiliar with you, why should I help?"
"Uh!"
Hearing Li Chen’s abrupt question, even Wang Jin, who was usually eloquent, was momentarily rendered speechless, not knowing how to respond.
Then, she steadied herself and said, "Our Wang Family is the foremost family of the Great Wu Dynasty. As long as you are willing to help, we are willing to offer a million Spirit Stones as a reward!"
Li Chen shook his head and said, "Wealth is external to me. Such an offer truly fails to move me!"
Wang Jin was speechless!
"I don’t know what you want. As long as our Wang Family can offer it, we will not decline!"
Li Chen did not answer, seemingly pondering.
Wang Jin was in a hurry; every quarter-hour of delay would mean several more deaths, even dozens more in their convoy.
She steeled herself, seemingly making a great decision, and blurted out.
"As long as you are willing to aid us, even if it means marrying you, I wouldn’t hesitate!"
"Uh!"
Li Chen was amazed this time.
He never expected the other person would be willing to offer such a high price.
Hei En and Little Wei, hearing Wang Jin’s words, were also greatly shocked.
"This cannot be, absolutely cannot be, Miss!"
"Yes, Miss, you are of noble status, how could you..."
Before Hei En and Little Wei could finish speaking, Wang Jin interjected, signaling them to stop and not speak further.
Li Chen smiled faintly and said, "I’m not interested in you!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Wang Jin was undeniably stunned.
She was the leading beauty of the Great Wu Dynasty, with countless nobles desiring her.
And now, she proactively proposed marriage, yet was directly refused.
This made Wang Jin begin to doubt her allure as a woman for the first time.
Just as Wang Jin was deeply disappointed, Li Chen spoke again, "I can help, but you must promise me one thing!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Wang Jin immediately clung to it like a drowning person grabbing a straw, urgently asking, "What is it?"
After asking, she looked at Li Chen with wide, expectant eyes.
She simply couldn’t fathom what could be more important than her own noble status.
Li Chen paused momentarily and said, "Mobilize all your Wang Family’s power to help me find someone!"
Wang Jin was taken aback at the news and quickly asked, "Who do you want me to find?"
Li Chen paused again, unable to clarify in a short moment, casually saying, "Don’t ask now, just answer if you agree or not?"
Before Li Chen finished speaking, Wang Jin immediately agreed.
"Alright, I promise you!"
After all, it’s just finding someone. As long as the person is within the Great Wu Dynasty’s territory, it’s not a big deal for the Wang Family.
After a while, she tentatively asked, "May I know whether the person you are looking for is a woman?"
Li Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, what’s wrong, any problem?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s inquiry, Wang Jin quickly shook her head like a rattle.
"Nothing, once I return, I will surely mobilize all my Wang Family’s strength to find her for you!"
"Just as well!"
After saying this, Li Chen bent down to speak to Little Shitou, "Little Shitou, wait here for a moment; I will be back later!"
Though Little Shitou was very scared, he obediently nodded.
Li Chen glanced at Hei En and Wang Jin, saying, "Take good care of my little apprentice."
Hei En stepped forward resolutely and said, "You can trust me, benefactor. Even at the cost of my life, I won’t let the young master suffer any harm!"
Seeing him loyal and brave, Li Chen was satisfied, nodding in approval, "Very good."
After saying this, he casually took out a bottle of pill and tossed it to Hei En.
"Here’s a gift for you; it will be beneficial for your injuries!"
Hei En took the pill from Li Chen, hesitated for a moment, then removed the cork.
Instantly, a rich aroma of pill filled the valley, making anyone who smelled it feel refreshed and pleasant.
The Wang Family grew rich through pills, monopolizing half of the Great Wu Dynasty’s pill market.
Being a direct lineage of the Wang Family, Wang Jin was naturally knowledgeable about pills.
Although she didn’t know what kind of pill Li Chen gave Hei En, from the rich aroma, she could deduce it was a valuable Third-grade Pill, auctioning for hundreds of thousands, even a million Spirit Stones.
At this moment, she finally understood why Li Chen directly refused when she offered a million Spirit Stones as a reward.
Subsequently, Wang Jin turned her gaze toward the direction where Li Chen went, her clear eyes flashing with complex brilliance.
What kind of woman could possibly be worthy of such an extraordinary man?
For some reason, Wang Jin suddenly found herself, once so proud, beginning to feel jealous of the woman she didn’t even know by name.
...
Meanwhile:
The battle between Bandit Jifeng and the Wang Family convoy continued.
This was Gale Ridge, the territory of Bandit Jifeng, and they held an overwhelming numerical advantage.
Therefore, from the start, Bandit Jifeng’s side gained an overwhelming advantage.
The Wang Family convoy suffered heavy casualties, barely defending, without any ability to counterattack.
At this rate, they might be slaughtered clean before nightfall.
As for the contest of top-tier powers, things were no better for the Wang Family.
Due to Jifeng’s sudden attack, Elder Sunx was severely injured and completely outmatched.
If not for Jifeng’s fear of pushing him to the brink, leading to mutual destruction through self-detonation, Elder Sunx would have been killed if pressured too hard.
As for Elder Wuo and Elder Zhao, their situation was slightly better compared to Elder Sunx.
However, the battle situation was still dire.
Their cultivation was nearly equal to Jiyu and Jidian.
Due to Jifeng’s sudden appearance and the uncertainty of the Miss’s fate, they were all thrown into disarray.
For this reason, they were briefly distracted, suffering significant setbacks.
Now, facing Jiyu and Jidian’s assault, they could only struggle to cope, unable to aid Elder Sunx to turn the tide.
At the current rate, everyone present might perish here.
Considering this, a shadow of despair could not help but loom over every Wang Family member’s heart.
