Chapter 1833 Just Kidding

tly, during this time he had seen how ruthless Li Chen was.If you don't feed him enough, he doesn't even have an extra bun.Even the fiercest wolves of the prairie have grown thin and weak, their eyes...Chapter 1833 I Was Joking

During these two hours, Li Chen met with Huangji Tian and Wu Qingsang, made arrangements for the future, and finally summoned himself.

It can be seen that Li Chen truly saw through his own plan in less than an hour.

In just a short hour, Li Chen saw through his own plan from the meager information.

This man before me... is he human or a ghost!

Jianxin thought for a mere three breaths and then decided... to deny it vehemently.

"I don't understand what you're saying. This has nothing to do with the Lotus Sect. You've already agreed to give King Ning's territory to the Lotus Sect. There's no reason for them to cause further trouble and offend you unnecessarily."

"It's not an excuse for not offending me."

Li Chen wasn't angered by Jianxin's pleas. He calmly explained, much like narrating a reasonable story, "The existence of the Bai Lian Sect is intolerable to me and to the imperial court. Even if it was a temporary alliance for mutual benefit, in the end, because their ideology wouldn't change, they couldn't coexist with the court. Therefore, whether or not I am offended isn't the real issue."

As for the previous promises...

Li Chen chuckled softly, looking at Jian Xin and saying, "We're all adults. Being straightforward is more sincere than beating around the bush. Saying things like this only makes you seem evasive and out of arguments."

"The whole plan was flawless, the only slip-up being that you didn't expect Li Songru to tell me through Cheng Fuzhao. Otherwise, according to your plan, I should have learned about the walled city only after the decisive battle. By then, the White Lotus Sect would have firmly established its roots, and it wouldn't have been easy to eradicate them. You wouldn't have had anything to fear then, would you"

Li Chen's tone turned icy cold, and he said in a low voice, "If my guess is right, Li Songru, who has already died once, has died for the second time now. He's dead for good, isn't he"

Could it be that I have to have a falling out with Li Chen tonight

For a moment, Jian thought about many things.

He had thought about killing Li Chen on the spot and then vanishing, but he worried that Li Chen might be able to fight back. If Li Chen had the means to kill Jue An, perhaps he also had them ready to use against him.

He had also considered admitting his fault and begging for forgiveness, but his pride wouldn't allow him to do so. Moreover, he understood that once he bowed his head and begged for mercy, both he and the White Lotus Sect would be doomed forever.

As her thoughts shifted, Jane's expression and eyes flickered.

However, just as Jianxin was still struggling with the conflict between heaven and man, suddenly Li Chen let out a hearty laugh.

Jianxin looked up at Li Chen, her expression a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"Just kidding, don't take it so seriously."

Li Chen patted Jian Xin's arm enthusiastically and said, "Actually, I don't care about what's happening in the fiefdom, nor have I bothered to think about it carefully. What I'm more concerned about is the outcome of this battle."

If we win decisively, then the rebellion in the fiefdoms will be nothing more than a minor issue that can be quelled by sending a single army detachment.

"But if we lose this decisive battle here, everything will be lost. Even the mountains and rivers, the nation itself, will be overturned. What more can be said about a mere fiefdom"

Li Chen's completely different attitudes before and after left Jian Xin feeling confused and at a loss.

Looking at Li Chen, whose smile seemed like the spring breeze caressing his face, Jian Xin couldn't tell whether it was the current Li Chen or the previous one who was real.

This feeling of utter helplessness almost makes Jane want to vomit.
