Chapter 1267 - 1270: Conflicting Dilemmas (Part 1)

Chapter 1267: Chapter 1270: Conflicting Dilemmas (Part 1)

"What’s going on?" Uncle Mu asked.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face gradually looking a bit unwell.

However, he still appeared quite calm.

Lin Xi nodded inwardly. For the old man to have achieved such accomplishments, this level of composure is rare, but it’s precisely this composure that enables such achievements.

To know, if it were anyone else, discovering a problem with their body, especially with that piercing sensation, would surely be quite frightening.

At this moment, Mu Chen and Mu Rou, Uncle Mu’s two children, walked over.

Actually, they had been here for a while.

They had seen Lin Xi finish his plan and their father complete his practice of Tai Chi.

Their faces were really not looking good.

This person even knows the old man likes practicing martial arts!!!

In their eyes, this is premeditated!

"What’s really wrong with my dad?" The two are smart; they didn’t rush to accuse, saying ’you’re talking nonsense, stop scaring us’ or anything like that.

That approach, seeing their dad’s expression, would likely backfire.

Despite the two playing it very well.

Uncle Mu immediately knew what his two children were thinking.

"You two, go to the kitchen and ask Xiaomai and the others to prepare more breakfast," he told Mu Chen and Mu Rou, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Upon hearing their father’s instructions, the two appeared somewhat anxious.

Exchanging a glance, Mu Chen said to Mu Rou, "Sis, you go tell Xiaomai and the others, I’ll stay with dad here!"

Mu Rou had no choice but to nod and quickly walked back into the house.

"I asked you both to go!" Uncle Mu’s face showed some anger.

Mu Chen’s face appeared troubled, "Dad... I still..."

Before he could finish, Lin Xi, who had been silent, interrupted, "Uncle Mu, he’s fine, no worries."

"It’s always good to listen."

"After all, this concerns your health."

Mu Chen hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, Dad, Lin Xi is correct."

"No matter what, I’m still your son. If you’re not feeling well, I obviously have the right to know."

"Otherwise, that would make me an unfilial son."

Uncle Mu snorted coldly and said nothing more.

He knew what his son was thinking, but he, what does he know!!!!

Who is Xiaolin?

Though he wasn’t extremely clear in these past days, based on his years of experience and some judgment, Xiaolin certainly didn’t have any ulterior motives toward the Mu family as his son imagined.

Moreover, he wouldn’t be someone sent from a rival company.

Or rather, they wouldn’t even be able to hire such a person.

As for the danger encountered at Mount Emei, how coincidental that the two were there and saved him.

He believed it was a coincidence.

Not a deliberate setup.

At the same time, he asked his two bodyguards.

Those two bodyguards, having about seven or eight years of experience in war-torn regions.

Their skills are beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

But even they couldn’t comprehend how just a glare could tame a three-hundred-pound wild boar king.

Even the Peak Soldier King wouldn’t have such ability.

Of course, Lin Xi could also tell, Uncle Mu’s pair of children seemed to harbor some hostility toward him.

He wasn’t concerned about this.

To him, they’re just small characters.

Besides, what he spoke of concerned Uncle Mu’s health.

This old man, he had a certain fondness for.

After all, yesterday’s two meals were full of sincerity.

Moreover, as for Uncle Mu’s health issue, to him, it’s merely a matter of lifting a finger.

"It’s a problem with Tai Chi!" he said at this point.

Originally intending to phrase it differently to make Uncle Mu more receptive, but he deemed it unnecessary.

After all, there’s a logical flaw.

With the old man’s wisdom, he might as well see through it.

If so, then this would backfire.

Speaking outright, he would still doubt, particularly his son would have more skepticism.

But it didn’t matter; he had just enabled Uncle Mu to press a part of his body, proving a significant portion already.

Uncle Mu and his son Mu Chen were also stunned when they heard this.

Seemingly completely unanticipated.

A problem with Tai Chi?

How can there be an issue with Tai Chi!

He has been practicing it for so many years.

Moreover, in all Huaxia, probably countless people practice Tai Chi.

These people haven’t heard of any issues occurring.

Mu Rou, who had just left, also returned.

She asked Mu Chen and her face showed disbelief.

She directly refuted, "How can it be an issue with Tai Chi?"

"It’s absolutely impossible!"

"Did you say the wrong thing?"

Actually, if it weren’t for her dad nearby, she would have long wanted to have Lin Xi thrown out.

In her eyes, he was nothing but a deceitful liar.

Moreover, how could he have no level at all?

"Shut up!" Uncle Mu glared at her.

Mu Rou was rather defiant, looking as if she wanted to retort, but was immediately pulled back by Mu Chen, signaling her not to do so!

She wasn’t stupid, quickly realizing.

Arguing with her dad was asking for trouble, even at her age.

"Xiaolin, can you explain in detail?" Uncle Mu’s face didn’t look good either, but he still asked Lin Xi kindly.

Regarding his expression, it was because this Tai Chi was taught by a sage.

That sage could be said to be his lifesaver.

Now, someone is claiming the martial arts have issues.

Wouldn’t that mean his savior was harming him?

Harming him?

How could that be!

If there was harm intended, the sage wouldn’t have saved him at all.

Moreover, the sage had no such intention.

Because he felt that in front of that sage, he was just a small character.

Even with his current status, he’s still a small character in front of the sage.

Furthermore, years of persistence in practicing martial arts has led to his health surpassing even some young people.

This enabled him to dare venture alone into Mount Emei despite his age.

Additionally, during the attack from the wild boar king, he didn’t sustain serious injuries for quite some time.

If not driven into dire straits in the end, he might have escaped relying on his physical fitness.

However, regarding Xiaolin’s words, his tone and expression didn’t seem to be casually spoken.

Is there really a scheme against the Mu family?

This thought flashed through his mind, quickly dismissed.

He firmly believed he wasn’t mistaken in judging people.

Moreover, Xiaolin and the one called Princess Consort Le, whether in temperament or speech, are far beyond what those who have battled in the business world can compare to.

In other words, these two seem to transcend ordinary society.

Yes, they somewhat resemble the sage who saved him once.

Uncertain whether it’s an illusion or faded memory.

He felt that compared to Xiaolin, even the sage who saved him before might not measure up.

While the one called Princess Consort Le was actually quite an equal match.

Such personalities wouldn’t likely deceive him.

Yet, he found himself conflicted again.
