Chapter 199: The Most Affectionate Episode 1
King Nathan stared at Li Muxuan's expression and couldn't tell that he was lying at all; it seemed as if he were telling the truth.
"You'd better not be afraid."
After saying that, King Nathan prepared to attend the bonfire party. She put her hand on Li Muxuan's shoulder, and in an instant they were teleported directly to the beach.
A huge bonfire had been lit on the beach, and a whole roasted lamb was roasting over the flames.
Upon seeing Nathan Wang's arrival, Xu San, the vice-captain, immediately stood up and went forward to greet her.
Originally, this task should have been handled by Hei Guan, but as a former military man, Hei Guan wasn't good at greeting people like a politician, so the job of communicating with Nathan King fell to Xu San.
"King Nathan, thank you for the bonfire party you prepared for us," Xu San said, giving a proper bow.
King Nathan smiled slightly and nodded: "That's only right. You've come from afar, so as your hosts, we should naturally treat you well."
Xu San responded politely for a few minutes, then his gaze fell on Li Muxuan behind King Nasen.
Who is this?
He had memorized Nathan's information before he came, and knew clearly that Nathan's maternal grandfather was Li Muxuan!
Although Li Muxuan's photo has never been publicly released, he is a formidable figure ranked seventh on the global list of extraordinary individuals! Before they arrived, Na Du Tong had already prepared to deal with Li Muxuan and obtained his photo through connections well in advance.
At that moment, Xu San recognized the old man behind King Nasen as Li Muxuan!
However, he didn't show it, but instead pretended not to know King Nathan and asked him curiously.
"Let me introduce you to Mr. Xu San. This is my maternal grandfather, Li Muxuan, who is Chinese just like you."
When introducing him to Xu San, King Nasen did not address Li Muxuan as Mr. Li as he did in the palace, but instead affectionately called him Grandfather.
The reason why King Nathan went to all the trouble to call Li Muxuan over was for this very scene! She wanted to make the people of Nadutong mistakenly believe that she had a very good relationship with Li Muxuan, so as to use Li Muxuan's reputation as the seventh most powerful person in the world to promote herself.
Clearly, the effect is quite good.
Although the people from Nadutong had inquired about Li Muxuan's information, they obviously couldn't find out the specific level of intimacy between Li Muxuan and King Nasen, since very few people on the entire Nasen Island would know about such a thing.
Upon hearing Nasen Wang's affectionate address, Xu San's expression noticeably softened.
"So it's Senior Li! I've long admired your name! Meeting you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."
Li Muxuan, an old man who had lived for so many years, saw through his granddaughter's true intentions at a glance.
I clicked my tongue inwardly.
He knew there was no reason why his beloved granddaughter wouldn't come looking for him; she definitely had an ulterior motive!
However, considering that she had just given him a phone, Li Muxuan didn't want to expose his beloved granddaughter's scheme, but he also didn't want to be used by her like that.
Li Muxuan laughed loudly, raised his hand, and slammed it down on King Nasen's head, giving it a few hard rubs.
"Haha, my old bones can't take praise! I have to thank you for helping my dear granddaughter so much."
Elijah behind Li Muxuan immediately clenched his fist, wanting to slap away Li Muxuan's dirty hands!
Have you washed your paws?! You just shoved them onto the king's head like that!
But when he saw the gesture King Nathan made behind his back, he had no choice but to stop.
Nathan King chuckled awkwardly twice, then pretended to be embarrassed and pushed Li Muxuan's hand away.
"Grandpa, there are outsiders here, you really are..."
Xu San, unaware of the truth, took all of this into account and said with admiration.
"Wang and your grandfather have such a good relationship, it's truly enviable."
Li Muxuan, whose hand had been pushed away, laughed twice. He scanned the crowd and finally fixed his gaze on Zhang Chulan and Lu Lin.
He narrowed his eyes and walked straight toward them.
Zhang Chulan was sitting with Feng Baobao, Lu Lin, Wang Ye and others, waiting for the whole roasted lamb to be ready.
Suddenly, Zhang Chulan sensed an unusual presence approaching. Looking up, he saw Li Muxuan standing in front of them, staring intently at him.
"You're Zhang Chulan?" Li Muxuan asked bluntly, his tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.
Zhang Chulan paused for a moment, then stood up and nodded politely: "Yes, I am Zhang Chulan. You must be... Senior Li Muxuan?"
Li Muxuan chuckled and waved his hand, "I wouldn't dare call myself a senior, I'm just an old man. But I've heard you possess the divine spirit of the rootless?"
Zhang Chulan's heart tightened; he hadn't expected Li Muxuan to directly mention the Divine Spirit.
He glanced at Feng Baobao beside him and found that Feng Baobao was still staring at the whole roasted lamb that was dripping with oil, as if nothing had happened.
"Uh... I think so. I've never seen it before, but others say I've used it." Zhang Chulan answered cautiously, his tone tinged with a hint of probing. "Senior, do you know anything about Divine Spirits?"
Li Muxuan laughed heartily and patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder: "Understand? Of course I understand! This is the sect leader's ultimate skill, I never expected to see it on someone else!"
Zhang Chulan was somewhat taken aback by Li Muxuan's enthusiasm and could only nod with a forced smile.
Li Muxuan turned his head, his gaze lingering on Lu Lin for a few seconds, before he laughed and said, "Oh, you're that old bastard Lu Jin's great-grandson? You do look quite like him."
Lu Lin's expression changed slightly. He obviously didn't expect Li Muxuan to mention Lu Jin directly. As far as he knew, Lu Jin had always wanted to take revenge on Li Muxuan, so he was not sure if Li Muxuan would also want to take action against them.
“Senior Li, I’ve often heard my great-grandfather mention you. He’s always wanted to meet you.” Lu Lin said calmly, “It seems there’s a misunderstanding between him and you. I wonder if you would be interested in returning to China to clear up the misunderstanding?”
Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan's smile froze for a moment, then he waved his hand and said, "Go back to China? Maybe next time. I'll definitely go back if I have the chance. I'm too busy to find the time, hahaha."
After saying that, Li Muxuan patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder again.
"I have something to do, you guys talk." Then he turned and walked quickly toward the campfire.
After Li Muxuan had walked away, Lu Lin whispered to Zhang Chulan, "What did this guy come here for? Just to see you?"
Zhang Chulan scratched his head in confusion: "Who knows?"
Just then, King Nathan walked over, smiling, and said to the two, "Gentlemen, the bonfire party is about to begin. Why don't you join me for a dance?"
Zhang Chulan and Lu Lin exchanged a glance, then smiled and nodded.
The residents of Nathan Island danced traditional dances around a bonfire, filling the entire beach with a lively atmosphere.
