Chapter 226: Chapter 6: Honorable Adoptive Father, Please Accept My Bow! (Part 2)

Then, he found an inn and released the puppet disguised as Xu Shi, placing the Magical Treasure to conceal its aura on the puppet.

“When we return to the Li Mansion, act on my command, understand?” Lin Chen instructed.

“Yes, Master!” the Martial Arts Puppet said in a deep voice, its behavior and voice resembling Xu Shi, whom Lin Chen had impersonated, by ninety-nine percent.

A moment later, Lin Chen and the fake Xu Shi headed to the Li Mansion.

The housekeeper of the Li Mansion was an elderly man with Perfection Qi Refining Cultivation.

This housekeeper had loyally followed Li Dongkun’s father during his youth, thus he was bestowed the Li surname.

He had seen Lin Chen before and knew Lin Chen’s extraordinary identity.

Upon seeing Lin Chen from afar, Housekeeper Li hurriedly came forward to greet him.

“Senior Han, you’re here? The master has been waiting for you these past two days!”

“Quickly, please come in!”

Housekeeper Li ushered Lin Chen and Xu Shi inside, serving them good tea.

Soon, Li Dongkun arrived hastily from outside the mansion with Li Zhenqian.

“Senior Han!”

Li Dongkun walked briskly, his mood buoyant.

Meanwhile, Li Zhenqian behind him glanced around, seemingly somewhat uneasy.

“Senior Han…” Li Dongkun was about to speak.

Li Zhenqian, however, froze, staring wide-eyed at the puppet, exclaiming, “Brother Xu! How did you come here!”

Li Zhenqian hastily stepped in front of Xu Shi, his face showing admiration.

“Brother Xu, I knew you wouldn’t perish in that relic!”

“What have you been busy with, Brother Xu, these past two years? Why did you only come to see me now…”

Li Zhenqian chattered incessantly.

Actually, Xu Shi didn’t spend much time with him.

But to Li Zhenqian, Xu Shi had saved his life.

Moreover, the terrifying power Lin Chen displayed when impersonating Xu Shi made Li Zhenqian worship him even more.

The Martial Arts Puppet’s database contained the complete personality of Xu Shi.

He glanced at Li Zhenqian and nodded slightly, his expression calm, saying:

“Oh, Brother Li! I’ve been preparing for Core Formation these past few years, and now I’ve successfully condensed a Golden Core, which is why I’ve come out to explore with Sixth Brother…”

Sixth Brother?

Li Zhenqian nodded excitedly, looking at Sixth Brother Han beside him, knowing Xu Shi had mentioned him, and that Sixth Brother Han’s strength surpassed that of Xu Shi.

“Hello, Sixth Brother Han!” he promptly called out.

In his excitement, Li Zhenqian didn’t notice his father’s iron-green expression beside him.

Li Dongkun gestured repeatedly to his foolish son, but he ignored them all.

Finally, Li Dongkun, agitated, slapped Li Zhenqian on the head.

“Outrageous! You rebellious son, kneel now!”

“Senior Han and I are friends, calling Senior Han ’Sixth Brother’ disrupts the hierarchy!”

As Li Dongkun reprimanded his rebellious son, he frantically gestured at Li Zhenqian.

Only then did Li Zhenqian sharply remember what his father had instructed him before coming.

This time, Li Dongkun intended for Li Zhenqian to meet his new ’father’!

He wanted him to acknowledge Senior Han as his adopted father…

But upon seeing Xu Shi, Li Zhenqian became so excited that he forgot all about it.

Thinking about it made Li Zhenqian feel a bit distressed.

“Alas, calling Brother Xu ’Brother’ and also wanting to acknowledge Senior Han as my ’foster father’ isn’t disruptive to the hierarchy?”

Thus, Li Zhenqian eagerly looked at Li Dongkun to see what his father would say.

At this point, Li Dongkun sighed deeply, his expression showing frustration.

He lamented, “Brother Han, don’t blame him! My rebellious son is inconsiderate; I will strictly discipline him from now on!”

Beside him, Lin Chen blinked, quietly watching the father-son performance.

Just now, they had been addressing him as ’Senior Han,’ but now they were calling him ’Brother Han’?

Hmm, but acknowledging Li Zhenqian as a foster son, surprisingly, didn’t seem too bad?

So Lin Chen joined in the act, saying:

“Ah, Brother Li, is it necessary?”

“Your son’s cultivation is commendable at such a young age!”

Lin Chen praised for a moment before changing the topic and asking:

“Cough cough, have you prepared the Spirit Stone, Brother Li?”

“I’ve been preparing this Top Grade Golden Yuan Pill for your son for a long time now…”

Saying this, Lin Chen opened a jade box, holding the smooth Golden Yuan Pill and displayed it.

Li Zhenqian beside him saw the Top Grade Golden Yuan Pill and immediately stared at it.

He turned his wide eyes to his father, clearly expressing one sentence: “Dad, I want this!”

Lin Chen noticed Li Zhenqian’s intention and stirred the pot by adding:

“To be honest, Younger Brother Li! I have several Golden Yuan Pills, but only one Top Grade Golden Yuan Pill…”

“If I didn’t have a good relationship with you, Younger Brother Li, I wouldn’t consider selling such a precious item!”

Lin Chen truly was not deceiving.

He had several bottles of Top Grade Golden Yuan Pills, but didn’t plan to sell them.

After all, Top Grade Golden Yuan Pills weren’t sellable in Great Xia Country, as they all came from Golden Yuan Sect’s relic.

If sold excessively, it might arouse suspicion.

Selling those Golden Yuan Pills crafted by Great Xia’s Alchemy Department was fine.

Seeing Li Zhenqian’s expression, Li Dongkun chuckled bitterly, saying: “Brother Han, you certainly know how to do business! I’ll do whatever it takes to buy the Top Grade Golden Yuan Pill!”

Saying this, he produced a Storage Bag:

“Brother Han, this bag contains 150,000 lower-grade Spirit Stones; the rest are materials for Array Formations, along with finished arrays crafted by our Li Family over the years… All worth roughly 300,000 Spirit Stones.”

“Can Brother Han accept this?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen took the Storage Bag, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and nodded slightly.

Previously, Lin Chen had agreed on thirty thousand Spirit Stones for the Top Grade Golden Yuan Pill, indeed a friendship price.
