Chapter 197 Li Muxuan
Chapter 197 Li Muxuan
At Wakina's urging, Elijah glanced at Li Muxuan and then walked into the palace.
Joaquinna gestured for the palace to enter.
"Mr. Li, this way, Wang is already waiting for you."
Li Muxuan swaggered in behind Hua Jinna and entered the palace, brazenly surveying the decorations inside.
As Elijah entered the palace, he had just finished reporting to King Nathan that the Black Pipes and the others had agreed to attend the celebration.
"Elijah, go and prepare well. Let me know when you're ready, and I'll be there too."
"Understood." Elijah bowed and turned to leave the palace.
“Mr. Li.” King Nathan sat on his throne and turned to look at Li Muxuan.
Li Muxuan laughed heartily: "Little girl, what do you want with this old man?"
"Father!"
A familiar voice rang out, and Li Muxuan's daughter strode over from beside the throne.
"How can you speak to the King like that?" She lowered her voice, but couldn't hide the reproach in her tone. "This is the royal palace, and the person in front of you is the supreme King Nathan!"
Li Muxuan's smile froze on his face. He narrowed his eyes and looked his daughter up and down.
"Tsk! I've lived a life of unbridled freedom, how did I end up with a girl like you?! You don't even resemble your mother, so tell me, who do you take after?!"
"Father!" The daughter's voice rose several octaves.
“Never mind,” King Nathan gently raised his hand to stop his mother, saying lightly, “This Mr. Li has never shown any awareness of being a citizen of Nathan Island.”
"After all, he was a lawless person before, and the people there now call him a bad kid."
Li Muxuan chuckled upon hearing this.
"I didn't expect my name to be so famous that even a little girl like you knows about it."
Nathan Wang stood up and slowly walked to Li Muxuan, taking out a cell phone from his pocket and handing it to him.
"It seems that Mr. Li, you have been out of touch with the world for a long time, and you don't even know your own reputation in mainland China."
Li Muxuan stared blankly at the phone in his granddaughter's hand for a moment, then took the small, square gadget.
He examined the phone from all angles, his fingers tracing the smooth screen: "This is... a phone? It looks different from the one Big G has."
The technological level on Nathan Island is comparable to that of savages. If Elijah hadn't brought back a television from abroad, Nathan Island would probably be waiting for Behemoth to invade.
Even now, most people on Nathan Island still don't have cell phones; only King Nathan, Nathan Guards, and some islanders close to the king have them.
King Nathan purchased a signal device from the country's shopping mall, finally enabling cell phone signals to be received on Nathan Island.
The "Big G" that Li Muxuan mentioned is the manager of the "market" in the northern part of Nathan Island. He is one of the few people on Nathan Island who has the ability to obtain supplies from abroad, and Big G has a satellite phone.
“This is the latest smartphone,” Nathan King’s voice remained calm. “I think you need to get to know this world again.”
"Tch, what's so special about getting to know each other?"
Li Muxuan tossed the phone back into Nathan's arms with disdain, waving his hands dismissively as he spoke.
"I can't be bothered to get to know this world, and it's none of my business how the world becomes."
Li Muxuan is now so old that he has one foot in the grave, and he has no desire to get involved in so-called advanced technology.
He was too lazy to learn how to use a mobile phone, which was too complicated.
Li Muxuan, having dropped his phone, turned to walk out of the palace when King Nathan suddenly said something to him.
"Mr. Li, don't you want to know about Lu Jin? As far as I know, Lu Jin already knows that you are hiding on Nathan Island, and he might come looking for you one day."
Upon hearing that Lu Jin knew he was hiding on Nathan Island, Li Muxuan immediately turned to look at King Nathan, his eyes filled with barely concealed panic.
"You...what did you say?! Lu Jin knows I'm here!"
At this moment, Li Muxuan's mind was filled with the name Lu Jin. He even wanted to turn around and run away, to run away from this damned place, to a place where Lu Jin could not find him!
I've hidden in this godforsaken place! How could Lu Jin still find me?!
Just as Li Muxuan was about to turn and run away, King Nathan smiled and comforted him.
"Mr. Li, you don't need to be too anxious. Mr. Lu Jin may not cause you any trouble. He might even greet you warmly as your good brother."
Li Muxuan didn't believe a word Nathan King said.
Brothers?
If Lu Jin hadn't slapped me twice when he saw me, I would have considered it a sign of his good manners.
Looking at the ambiguous smile on Nathan King's face, Li Muxuan took a deep breath to calm himself down and chuckled.
"My dear granddaughter, I never expected you to know so much about me. What do you want from me if you find out so much?"
Li Muxuan has given up now. Anyway, Lu Jin isn't in front of him, so why bother?
It would be better to listen to what your granddaughter really wants to do.
Li Muxuan subconsciously thought that King Nasen wanted to use Lu Jin to make him do something.
“You’ve misunderstood, Mr. Li. I have no requests of you, nor have I inquired about your affairs. It’s just that your relationship with Mr. Lu Jin is all over the internet.”
Li Muxuan subconsciously asked a question in return.
"Online? What kind of online network? An intelligence network?"
Upon hearing this, King Nathan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but unsure how to explain the internet to Li Muxuan.
Helplessly, he reopened the Douyin app on his phone, scanned Li Muxuan's face, quickly registered a new account for him, and handed him the video about Li Muxuan and Lu Jin.
"You should take a look for yourself, Mr. Li. I really suggest you try to explore modern technology."
The moment Li Muxuan looked at the screen after getting the phone, his eyes widened, because he saw Zuo Ruotong again!
The video about Lu Jin and him is the one where Qin Le talks about the Tongtian Talisman. In that video, Qin Le briefly introduced the process of the annihilation of Lu Jin's sect, the Sanyi Sect.
This includes the truth behind Zuo Ruotong's death.
Although Li Muxuan was one of the parties involved, he was not very clear about the specific cause of Zuo Ruotong's death. He only knew that Zuo Ruotong died shortly after he and Wugensheng returned from their trip to Sanyi Gate.
At the time, Li Muxuan truly believed that Zuo Ruotong and the subsequent demise of the Sanyi Sect were inextricably linked to him.
But now, as the audio in the video gradually plays, the person involved is learning part of the hidden truth for the first time.
Li Muxuan couldn't imagine what kind of person would know so much inside information.
"What exactly is this? Who released this information?"
