Chapter 1368: My Family Has a Connection with Yours

the Imperial Guard, so why are you still at home"This tone is rather like a modern-day boss catching a lazy employee.Su Pingbei's face turned grim, and he clasped his fists together. "To be honest, th...Chapter 1368: My Connection to Your Family

Although Li Tianzun knew Li Chen's identity, he didn't take it too seriously.

For someone like him, worldly power and imperial authority hold no particular weight.

Then I'll call you Little Friend.

Li Tianzun asked, "Young friend, do you know why that old monk had to kill you"

"I sowed discord between the North and South Shaolin temples because of this, someone offered a heavy oath as the inducement, and today's difficulty is the result." Li Chen replied.

Li Tianzun nodded, saying, "In that case, everything makes sense now."

He smiled, Li Tianzun said meaningfully: "Now, can you understand why over the past decade or so, the emperors of the Qin Dynasty have always respected Taoism but suppressed Buddhism"

"The Buddhist world may appear tranquil, but in reality, it is still driven by human desires, not Buddhist principles. Since it is governed by human hearts, there are inevitably schemes and power struggles, no cleaner than anywhere else. For the sake of legitimacy, they can do anything."

Li Chen calmly said: "Compared to the Buddhist sect, the Taoist sect, which emphasizes descending from the mountains in troubled times and retiring in peacetime, is indeed much better."

Li Tianzun laughed heartily and said, "However, over these years, there haven't been any bad apples in the Taoist sect. Little friend, if you beat them up a little, it's also a good thing."

"Well, that's all settled. I should be going now."

After Li Tianzun finished speaking, he was about to turn and leave.

He had barely finished speaking when he was stopped by Li Chen.

"Sword Immortal, for saving my life today, why not stay and travel with me It would give me a chance to repay your kindness."

Li Tianzun smiled ambiguously and said, "Do you want me to continue protecting you all the way"

Li Chen, seeing his true intentions exposed, said calmly and openly, "Indeed, I had such thoughts. But repaying the life-saving grace is also something that should be done. May I ask the Celestial Venerable for an opportunity"

Li Tianzun's gaze was profound, he looked down at the Prajna in his hand, and then said: "Very well, I have some connection with your Li family, so I will accompany you for a walk."

Moments later, with the mess cleared up by the remaining people, the caravan set off again.

Li Tianzun and Banruo were invited by Li Chen onto the carriage.

Though still young, the girl named Para was easily swayed. This is where Wan Jiaojiao's charm came in handy. Without even knowing what she said, she managed to coax a giggle out of Para with just a few words. Soon enough, Para sat beside Wan Jiaojiao, becoming as sweet and docile as can be.

Inside the carriage, besides Li Chen and Li Tianzun, there was also Gong Huiyu.

Lord Li Tianzun doesn't care about appearances or worldly etiquette. He knows Li Chen's identity, but he acts with utmost naturalness and ease. Sitting in the carriage, he takes an apple from a fruit dish and takes a bite with a crackle. Then he says to Li Chen: "Are you wondering why I said earlier that I have some connection with your Li family"

"The origin itself doesn't matter, the important thing is to figure out what the origin is, and then find an opportunity for me to stay by your side like that White Lotus sect girl."

To be honest, Li Tianzun's words are a bit hard to accept directly.

Ke Li-chen was very candid, he knew that in front of such a person, being less roundabout and more honest would be more effective.

He simply nodded and admitted, "Yes, that's what I think."

Li Tianzun took another bite of the apple and pointed to his nose, saying, "My surname was given to me by my master. Because my master also surnamed Li, and he, is the emperor's own brother."

The current emperor is in power. The emperor who can be called the previous emperor is the father of the current emperor, Emperor Tianyuan.

This was Li Chen's first time knowing this secret.

The Heavenly Emperor actually has a younger brother who became the Grandmaster of Celestial Masters in the Taoist sect.n't even handle being a general; his brain just isn't up to it."A cold glint appeared in the pale man's eyes. Zhou Ping'an hurriedly added, "Besides, didn't I come to find you first"The pale man let o...
