My gorgeous wife Chapter 2295 - 2263: Because My Name Is Li Changcun

Since someone had already taken action, Li Chen didn’t need to overdo it.

He jumped onto a Mysterious Vehicle and had Little Feng clear out the remaining bandits nearby. Afterward, Li Chen just quietly watched as the people around the convoy began to stop and rest.

Although the Green Robe man arrived in time, the convoy still suffered a dozen casualties in the battle. After all, the scattered bandits that had attacked earlier could number in the hundreds, so these casualties were within the normal range.

Li Chen could have prevented the casualties before they happened, but he chose not to act.

After finishing the bandit cleanup, the Green Robe man arrived at the center of the convoy.

At this moment, a beautiful young girl was stepping down from a Mysterious Vehicle.

"Miss." Uncle Luo hurriedly went to the girl’s side, disregarding pleasantries with Li Chen.

"Miss Yan."

The guards saw the girl and respectfully greeted her one after another.

Obviously, the girl’s position in the Qingyao Chamber of Commerce was quite extraordinary.

At this moment, the Green Robe man also came before the girl with a smile on his face, "Xiaoxi."

"Uncle Qing." The girl beamed upon seeing the Green Robe man, appearing very happy, "Weren’t you traveling? How come you’re here?"

"Just returned," the Green Robe man laughed, "As soon as I got back, I heard news from your side, so I hurried over to see if I could run into you. I never thought I’d really meet you."

As he spoke, the Green Robe man’s gaze fell on Li Chen, who was sitting lazily on the Earth Devouring Beast not far away, and he couldn’t help but ask, "And this is...?"

"That’s our heroic benefactor we encountered on the road. Due to the losses we suffered, we temporarily hired him," Steward Luo quickly explained before Yan Xi could speak.

"I see." The Green Robe man nodded, then stepped over to Li Chen.

With just a step or two, he was suddenly beside Li Chen.

This scene left many bystanders utterly astonished.

"Lord Qing seems stronger than ever."

At this moment, the Green Robe man leapt onto a Mystic River carriage, his height matching Li Chen’s, and he smiled at Li Chen, "My name is Qing. May I ask if you too are a hero?"

Li Chen smirked, bowing his hand, "Li Chen, sort of a hero."

Qing was startled by the response, "Sort of a hero"? What kind of phrase is that?

Yet fortunately, Qing didn’t delve deeper, simply clasping his hands toward Li Chen, "Qing, on behalf of the Qingyao Chamber of Commerce, thanks Brother Li for your care along the way."

Li Chen shook his head with a smile, saying nothing.

The young man who had previously complained to Steward Luo overheard and couldn’t help but murmur, "He didn’t seem to do much. Why is Lord Qing being so polite?"

"Shut up." Steward Luo gave the youth another stern look.

Others might not see it, but Qing could naturally tell that if it weren’t for this hero trailing behind the convoy, they would have been attacked countless times by now.

Even if Li Chen did not act, the mere presence of such a hero was a significant deterrent to the bandits.

Only a large-scale bandit attack would dare strike knowing a hero was around.

Even so, when the bandits attacked, they sent many to keep a close watch on Li Chen.

In other words, even without taking action, Li Chen’s mere presence drew significant attention from the bandits. Without his unexpected appearance, today’s limelight would surely have fallen on Li Chen.

Moreover, Qing could tell that the creature under Li Chen was likely formidable. Even if Li Chen didn’t act, the creature alone could have resolved the crisis just now.

"Thank you so much, Lord Li Chen, for the journey," Yan Xi approached to express her gratitude to Li Chen.

However, it was clear that the girl had no particular fondness for Li Chen, and her thanks were simply out of courtesy.

After all, even when the convoy was taking heavy casualties, Li Chen didn’t really take action.

Li Chen didn’t mind Yan Xi’s attitude and just casually nodded.

Once Qing appeared, no more bandits dared to target them.

One hero was enough to make the bandits wary, let alone now that they also had the renowned Sword Saint ’Qing’. The small groups that had been lurking far from the convoy, observing in secret, quickly retreated.

For bandits, catching someone off guard is natural, but this was clearly no longer an opportunity; it was a tough nut to crack, and any attempt to challenge it would be foolhardy.

Thus, the convoy finally reached its destination without further trouble, arriving at the headquarters of the Qingyao Chamber of Commerce in the Qiuchen Empire.

...

In the ice and snow, a solitary figure walked aloof and indifferent.

Covering this figure was a seemingly thin blue robe, accompanied by a somewhat worn scarf.

Behind this solitary figure was a strikingly broad sword.

"Are you sure this is the place?" a voice suddenly called from behind the figure, muted tension hidden in its calmness.

"The indicator showed here, so yes, this should be the place," the man replied, gently squeezing his scarf and exhaling a cloud of white, his voice soft.

"So, even you’re not sure?" the voice behind brimmed with anger.

"If I’m unsure, shouldn’t we at least take a look?" the man remained calm.

The voice behind was silent for a moment before responding, "After all these years, are you sure she’s still... her?"

"I believe in her," the man tightened his grip on the scarf, "Otherwise, that old monster wouldn’t have hidden her all these years, never daring to show his face before me."

"That’s just your assumption!!" the voice behind suddenly shouted angrily.

The man paused for a moment, then flashed a faint smile, "Don’t you want to see her again?"

Without waiting for a response, the man continued, "No matter what, whether she is still who she was or not, I want to take her away. Even if she’s no longer herself, I’ll find her again."

"I want to take her... home! To see our children, our daughters-in-law, and... perhaps, our grown grandchildren." Hope glittered in the man’s eyes.

"What makes you think you can take her away?" the voice behind scoffed with indifference.

The man released his hold on the scarf, ahead of him a striking demarcation line appeared in the icy world, starkly contrasting with the surrounding snow.

... It was a blazing red Hell!

The man drew the broad sword from his back, "Because my name is Li Changcun!"

At this moment, looking behind the man, one could see the countless bodies scattered across the ice and snow.

The red of the blood and the white of the snow formed an extraordinarily vivid contrast.

Just like the fiery Hell ahead.
