I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 393 No, we can't let Li Chen and Jun Zhantian meet! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
Facing ninety-nine pairs of malicious eyes, Jun Zhantian stood with his hands behind his back, his face showing no fear, his aura of a strongman was unmistakable.

Just then, Luo Zixi, who had just woken up in the backyard, heard cheers coming from the martial arts arena and walked over out of curiosity.

Recently, she has been very grateful to Gu Xiangling for sharing the burden; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to get up at this hour.

Even when she had just gotten up, Gu Xiangling was still trying her best to serve Li Chen.

Looking at how inseparable they are, anyone who didn't know better would think Li Chen and Gu Xiangling were a married couple. They really seem to be glued together, never to be separated.

Luo Zixi arrived near the martial arts arena, climbed onto the high platform, and walked to her sister Luo Qimeng's side.

Luo Qi dreamt that she had come, and smiled as she pointed towards the arena, saying, "Sister, look! That kid named Jun Zhantian is amazing. He's already taken down more than forty people by himself. I reckon the next few dozen won't be a match for him either."

Upon hearing the name "Jun Zhantian," Luo Zixi's heart trembled.

Isn't that my son's name? How could my son be here? Could it be someone with the same name?
She hurriedly looked in the direction her sister pointed and sure enough, she saw that familiar figure.

Having been through Li Chen's trials, Luo Zixi felt no affection for Jun Zhantian's father, Jun Wuhui, but Jun Zhantian was her precious darling, someone she always cared deeply for. Seeing him fighting alone against the assembled heroes filled her with both pride and worry.

On the stage, Jun Zhantian moved like lightning, his punches and kicks carrying a sharp force. Every strike was incredibly precise, and he easily neutralized any attacks from his opponents, whether they were sneak attacks, poisoning, or throwing hidden weapons.

In a short time, dozens more people were blasted off the stage by him.

"Ninety-eighth!" With a cold shout, Jun Zhantian struck out with his palm, and the last opponent coughed up blood and flew backward, crashing heavily to the sidelines.

The entire stadium fell silent for a moment, then erupted in deafening cheers.

"Jun Zhantian! Jun Zhantian!"

The audience cheered wildly, and those who had previously looked down on him now looked solemn and dared not underestimate him anymore.

Jun Zhantian calmly withdrew his stance and was about to step off the stage to receive compliments from Qiu Qingxia, Lü Shanshan, and other beauties.

However, at that moment, a stunningly beautiful figure slowly approached.

She wore an elegant long dress, her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and her temperament was otherworldly, as if she were a celestial being descended to earth.

Her appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention. Even women like Qiu Qingxia and Lü Shanshan, who usually prided themselves on their beauty, felt a suffocating pressure at this moment.

"Who is she?" Lu Shanshan murmured softly, her eyes filled with shock.

Qiu Qingxia bit her lip, a strange unease rising in her heart.

What shocked them even more was that when Jun Zhantian saw this woman, a rare look of joy appeared in his eyes.

"Mother! What are you doing here?" Jun Zhantian strode forward, his voice filled with undisguised joy.

Luo Zixi smiled gently, reached out and stroked his hair, and said, "Silly child, have you forgotten? Your mother grew up here."

"mother?!"

Qiu Qingxia, Lü Shanshan and the others were stunned at first, then breathed a sigh of relief and were overjoyed. It turned out to be their mother-in-law!
The group immediately adjusted their posture, stepped forward to bow, and plastered their faces with ingratiating smiles.

"Greetings, Auntie!"

"Hello, aunt!"

Luo Zixi glanced at them indifferently, nodded slightly, and said nothing more. She turned to look at Jun Zhantian and said softly, "Tian'er, what are you doing here?"

Jun Zhantian laughed and said, "My father has returned and brought me here for training."

Luo Zixi was incredibly surprised. What? Her husband, who had been missing for over twenty years, had come back to life?

It was only then that Luo Zixi remembered that she was married and had a husband and children.

There was no way around it; the impact Li Chen had brought was simply too great. Meanwhile, on the high platform, Luo Qimeng watched this scene, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

She murmured to herself, "So he's my sister's son?"

In the shadows, Jun Wu Hui and Yu Jing were also slightly surprised.

Yu Jing had finally managed to stay by Jun Wu Hui's side for a short time, but now that Jun Wu Hui's legal wife had arrived, she should indeed keep a certain distance.

But she felt a little resentful. She had followed Jun Wu Hui earlier, but he hadn't chosen her.

The thought of Luo Zixi meeting Jun Wuhui later, and how this former 'good sister' would be above her, pierced her heart.

So she chose to avoid him, bidding farewell and leaving Jun Wuhui's side.

In fact, Jun Wuhui, who was hiding in the shadows, didn't bother to greet Luo Zixi. He had spent his whole life thinking about the plan for his family's ascension to immortality.

If the plan succeeds, he will become the first person on this continent.

Women are just stumbling blocks that hinder my progress.

He hasn't been home in the past twenty years and doesn't care about Luo Zixi at all.

In his view, Luo Zixi was just one of the more useful female followers.

At this moment, no one was more flustered than Luo Zixi. She had just seen her son and was so excited that she came over.

After calming down, she realized that Li Chen was still in the backyard. In her memory, Li Chen was still Jun Zhantian's friend.

She had this kind of relationship with Li Chen, and Li Chen was the kind of man who couldn't be bothered to hide it. What if her son found out? What's more, her husband was right there.

Although her feelings for Jun Wu Hui had faded, she was still a rather reserved person.

No, I can't let Li Chen and Jun Zhantian meet, otherwise how will I live!

Having made up her mind, Luo Zixi took Jun Wuhui aside and asked him what had happened during this time.

Actually, she was terrified that Jun Zhantian would ask where Nangong Yao and the other women were. She couldn't very well say they were in the palace, especially since she was the one who had given them to Li Chen.

But Jun Zhantian truly didn't ask; he didn't care at all.

Luo Zixi is special to Jun Zhantian, after all, she is his mother.

Jun Zhantian's battle for today has ended; the next match will be tomorrow.

The battle on Li Chen's side has also ended; even a force as large as Gu Xiangling's couldn't withstand it.

Li Chen, having called upon Luo Xi, planned to search for clues about the mysterious waterfall.

Since the system sent Li Chen to find her, she might be the key to unlocking the waterfall.

At the very least, she should know where the waterfall is.

“Young master, you mentioned a rather special waterfall. When I was following the clues left by my father, I went to a waterfall. There was a restriction on that waterfall, but I didn’t find any of my father’s belongings, otherwise I could have opened it.”

Following Li Chen's request, Luo Xi also thought of a place that Li Chen might need to find.

Originally, at this stage, Li Chen and Luo Xi should have gone to the Luo family ruins together to dig out her father's belongings before breaking the seal.

But Li Chen wondered, what kind of restrictions could he not break?
So instead of digging up graves at the Luo family ruins, they went directly to the Mysterious Waterfall.

Meanwhile, some people had already headed to the mysterious waterfall!
