Chapter 1202: Chapter 1174: Bai Feihu’s Promise
"You two chat first; I suddenly remembered a new medicine that I’ve been researching recently, so I’ll go check on it." Jiang Taisheng looked at the two people beside him and said with a smile.
Before the two could respond, Jiang Taisheng directly stepped away from the place.
Jiang Taisheng was not very good at social interactions. Although he had Earth-Level strength, his main job was still a pharmacist, a pharmacist from the Pharmacist Clan.
However, being a pharmacist didn’t mean he was foolish. When he saw Li Chen appear here, he understood that Li Chen was looking for Bai Feihu, certainly for some reason.
Moreover, after seeing the expressions of both Li Chen and Bai Feihu, he was even more certain that they had something to discuss, so he had no intention to stay around.
"Then I won’t see you off. I’ll come to find you after I finish talking with Brother Li." Bai Feihu waved towards Jiang Taisheng.
Jiang Taisheng nodded and left with a smile.
Then, Bai Feihu looked at Li Chen in front of him.
Li Chen was also looking at him; their eyes met, and something peculiar flashed in both of their eyes.
After all, after the previous meeting, they both had left a rather deep impression on each other.
In Bai Feihu’s impression, Catherine was a smart person, but intelligence aside, Catherine after all was not Huaxia, much less a Huaxia Martial Artist, and had an insufficient understanding of the tricks between martial artists.
But Li Chen was different. Not only was he a Huaxia person, but he was also an authentic Huaxia Martial Artist with very high talent, even a genius Huaxia Martial Artist.
Dealing with such a person, old fox Bai Feihu wouldn’t dare to be negligent.
"I wonder, what brings Brother Li to find this old brother this time?" Bai Feihu looked at Li Chen and said with a smiling face.
"It’s actually nothing too serious." Li Chen nodded, smiling as well, "I just wanted to ask if Brother Bai and your disciples have been comfortable staying here during this time?"
Bai Feihu said nothing but started to mutter in his heart.
Speaking of treatment, the Palace of the Nether King really treated them well.
Not only did they provide food and accommodation during this time, but they also offered ample funds, so much so that if the disciples got bored staying at the base for too long, they could easily wander around Linchuan. As long as they didn’t cause trouble, the people of the Nether Army would come out to solve everything for them. It could be said that they were living comfortably.
This was entirely different from the frugal life they led when they first came out.
Although martial artists’ demands for living quality weren’t high, and they could live in any mountain or jungle and hunt some wild game to solve their food and clothing needs, everything outside was different from being in an Enchanted World or mountains and fields.
However, they’ve been here at the Palace of the Nether King for quite some time, and it seemed they really hadn’t been troubled by anything here.
But Bai Feihu, being deeply strategic, didn’t lower his guard because of this. In his view, Li Chen was certainly scheming something big.
This time, seeing Li Chen take the initiative to find him, Bai Feihu couldn’t help but start calculating in his heart.
"We’re doing well. Thanks a lot to Brother Li and your people for taking care of us during this time. My disciples are all eager to stay outside a bit longer and don’t want to go back." Bai Feihu said with a smile.
Despite being cautious, Bai Feihu also wasn’t someone who would take advantage and not give back. In his opinion, after enjoying so much at the Palace of the Nether King, it’s reasonable to do something for Li Chen, as long as it doesn’t go against his principles.
Hearing what Bai Feihu said, Li Chen felt a bit surprised.
According to his thinking, even if Bai Feihu admitted, he shouldn’t speak too well of it. Because the more you praise the Palace of the Nether King, the more restraints you receive. Li Chen really didn’t expect Bai Feihu to admit it so straightforwardly.
Secretly nodding in his heart, Li Chen inexplicably felt some goodwill towards the old fellow.
"Then I won’t beat around the bush." Li Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "I wonder what Brother Bai thinks of this premonition of intuition?"
"Premonition of intuition?" Bai Feihu raised his eyebrows and then stroked his beard.
"Brother, are you talking about the premonition of intuition of martial artists?"
"Exactly." Li Chen nodded.
"Although we martial artists don’t believe in gods and ghosts, everything in this world follows some patterns and omens, like the aurora before an earthquake, or clouds before the rain."
Bai Feihu pointed to his chest and said, "This premonition of intuition is a martial artist’s foreboding feeling toward certain things, but usually, this premonition isn’t very auspicious."
"Brother Li, could it be you..."
Li Chen took a slight breath, "Since that’s the case, I’ll not hide it from Brother Bai anymore. Just now, I suddenly had some of these feelings."
Upon hearing this, Bai Feihu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he said nothing.
Waving his hand, Li Chen spoke calmly, "This time, I indeed have something to ask of you, Brother Bai."
"Go ahead," Bai Feihu said, pondering as he spoke, and upon hearing Li Chen’s words, his expression also grew solemn.
A premonition from a Roaring Level warrior is not a good thing.
Indeed, the first moment he saw Li Chen, he was sure that Li Chen’s cultivation had broken through again.
Moreover, he broke through the barrier that had stumped countless Earth-Level warriors in Crowd Harmony and Roaring.
The last time they met, Li Chen was only at the Union Level.
How long had it been since he had seen such a genius?
"I need to leave for a bit, and I might have to face a few enemies." Li Chen said calmly, "And as I made this decision, I suddenly felt a premonition of intuition."
"Then you mean..." Bai Feihu slightly frowned, vaguely guessing.
"I still plan to go," Li Chen said, "However, before I leave, I want to talk to Senior Bai. If something happens to me, I hope you can help guard this place."
"Here, there are my brothers and relatives." Li Chen said earnestly.
This time, he used ’Senior’ earnestly instead of the previously polite ’old brother.’
Bai Feihu’s expression grew increasingly solemn.
If Li Chen asked him to go together, perhaps he wouldn’t be so concerned, but Li Chen’s intention was just to ask him to help guard this place during his absence?
"I... agree."
After a moment of silence, Bai Feihu seriously looked at Li Chen, nodding.
"Thank you." Li Chen sighed in relief, chatted with Bai Feihu for a bit, then turned and left.
Bai Feihu watched Li Chen’s departing figure, his eyes growing complex. Even he couldn’t imagine the price paid after making this promise.
