The sudden voice startled Ouyang Zhengde, and he looked not far behind Chen Mo.
Along a winding path, a figure slowly walked over.
The moment Ouyang Zhengde saw the person before him, his face changed drastically.
"Who is this impudent old man, daring to disrespect our family head! I think you're tired of living!" At this moment, a young man walked down the steps from the mansion entrance, pointing at the old man not far away and shouting.
Hearing the scolding, the old man glanced at the young man.
His deep eyes made the young man's eyes seem to fall into an endless abyss. The next moment, the young man's eyes went blank, and a pool of yellow liquid flowed onto the ground.
"Little Ouyang, your Ouyang family juniors are getting worse and worse. Why are you still wetting your pants in public? Have you been playing with fire too much at night? Little friends shouldn't play with fire, or you'll wet the bed at night," the old man said teasingly.
"Who exactly are you?!"
Ouyang Zonghuang's face turned cold, and he looked at the old man, questioning him.
"Who am I? Ask your family head, he'll know." The old man smiled faintly, his gaze returning to Ouyang Zhengde.
Ouyang Zhengde finally snapped out of his shock: "Li Chongtian? You're not dead?"
"Li Chongtian?"
Upon hearing the name, many people from the Ouyang family were confused, clearly unfamiliar with the name.
But Ouyang Zonghuang's expression stiffened, his face filled with horror.
Because he had heard of Li Chongtian's name. He had once destroyed an ancient martial arts family alone, was pursued by many forces, and had been missing ever since. He never expected that this person would appear in such a place.
The old man immediately laughed: "How could I die? It truly makes me very pleased that little Ouyang can still recognize me."
Despite his anger at this address, Ouyang Zhengde dared not show any displeasure on his face.
He had joined the pursuit team when they were hunting Li Chongtian.
But unfortunately, they had actually found Li Chongtian. After a great battle, he was the only survivor among all the pursuers.
At that time, to save his life, Ouyang Zhengde had even knelt before Li Chongtian, acknowledging him as his master and willingly becoming his lackey.
This was how Li Chongtian spared his life.
He had thought that after so many years, Li Chongtian would have long since died at the hands of others, but he never expected Li Chongtian to appear here!
"May I ask why Senior Li has suddenly appeared here?" Ouyang Zhengde asked, cupping his fists.
Seeing Ouyang Zhengde's attitude and expression, Chen Mo appeared somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected this unrestrained old man to be so formidable.
"It's nothing much, I just saw that the scenery here is good, so I came to wander around, and unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance." Li Chongtian replied.
Ouyang Zhengde looked at Li Chongtian with complex eyes.
Just wandering around? How could he possibly believe the old man's nonsense.
"Young man, what's your name?" Li Chongtian suddenly looked at Chen Mo.
Knowing that this person was likely the strongest present, Chen Mo quickly cupped his fists and replied, "Junior Chen Mo."
"Between the shimmering water, silent affection, Chen Mo, Chen Mo, a good name, a good name."
Li Chongtian praised him repeatedly.
Chen Mo blushed at the praise and quickly said humbly, "My name is ordinary, I don't deserve such praise."
"Well, that's good, you still know how to be humble, truly a rare talent." Li Chongtian continued to praise.
Ouyang Zhengde on the side was dumbfounded, completely unsure of what Li Chongtian was trying to do.
"Young man, you and I have a great affinity. Your name is Chen Mo, and mine is Li Chongtian. Silence of Heaven, quiet snow." Li Chongtian continued to babble.
Chen Mo listened with a pounding heart, looking at the other person in shock, wondering if this old fellow had questionable orientation and had taken a liking to him.
If that were the case, he would fight to the death to protect his backside.
He was already mentally calling out to his ancestor, asking him to help out later.
"Since you and I have such an affinity, why don't you become my disciple?" Li Chongtian's next words finally made Chen Mo breathe a sigh of relief.
But Ouyang Zhengde's eyes widened in disbelief.
What affinity? One surnamed Chen, the other surnamed Li, two people completely unrelated, and it was all because of "Silence of Heaven, quiet snow" that they had an affinity? Wasn't this just nonsense?!
"This, this..." Ouyang Zhengde was too shocked to speak.
Li Chongtian glanced at Ouyang Zhengde: "What? Little Ouyang, do you have an opinion?"
How could Ouyang Zhengde dare to have an opinion? He quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I, I just think, how can this kid be worthy of being your disciple."
"If I say he is worthy, then he is worthy," Li Chongtian said domineeringly.
He completely silenced Ouyang Zhengde, leaving him no room to retort.
The events of those years were still vivid in his memory. Li Chongtian's strength was not something Ouyang Zhengde could compare to.
"Kid, how about it? Will you be my disciple?" Li Chongtian turned his gaze back to Chen Mo.
However, his gaze towards Chen Mo was much gentler.
Chen Mo cupped his fists: "Thank you for your kind offer, senior, but I already have a master. Without my master's consent, I cannot become your disciple."
Hearing Chen Mo's answer, Ouyang Zhengde breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Chen Mo was not Li Chongtian's disciple, his grudges with Chen Mo would no longer be a concern.
But Ouyang Zhengde was also very curious. Who could teach such a genius that Chen Mo, at such a young age, possessed the strength of an internal energy master?
Li Chongtian fell into thought.
After a moment, he said, "I didn't expect to be a step too late. But since we have an affinity, if you can't be my disciple, then call me Godfather."
"This way, we'll have a connection."
*Thump!*
Ouyang Zhengde almost stumbled and fell to the ground upon hearing this.
He never imagined that since Li Chongtian couldn't take a disciple, he wanted to take a godson! He couldn't see what this Li Chongtian intended to do!
"Ah?!"
Chen Mo was also surprised, feeling that this old man was indeed strange.
"Senior Li, the disciples of our Ouyang family also have good aptitude." Ouyang Zhengde quickly said.
"A bunch of trash," Li Chongtian said dismissively.
Then he looked at Chen Mo again and said, "What? Are you wronged by recognizing me, Li Chongtian, as your Godfather? If you recognize me as your Godfather, I will give you a great gift!"
Chen Mo's expression was peculiar.
However, the ancestor in his mind remained silent, not speaking at all, leaving the decision entirely to Chen Mo.
"Godfather." Chen Mo finally cupped his fists and bowed to Li Chongtian, respectfully addressing him.
"Hahahaha! Good, good!"
"I said, as long as you recognize me as your Godfather, I will give you a great gift. Do you know what this gift is?" Li Chongtian deliberately created suspense.
