met free Chapter 436 Li Luochen probably hasn't even touched a girl's hand.
Chapter 436 Li Luochen probably hasn't even touched a girl's hand.
A deep, steady male voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying a natural air of authority: "Hello, this is Yu Longdu. Li Luochen is my nephew, and I can vouch for him. As for these three children, please be lenient."
The principal's fingers tightened slightly as she held the phone.
Riding the Dragon Crossing!
She knew better than anyone the weight of the Kanto Elite Four, the League's star trainer, and an honorary alumnus of Indigo Academy.
"Since it is Mr. Yulong who is guaranteeing it, then this old woman has no objection."
The principal handed the phone back to Li Luochen, took off her reading glasses, rubbed her nose, and said with a smile, "I'm entrusting the three children to you."
"That's natural."
Li Luochen smiled and took the phone. The screen still showed that the call was in progress. He glanced at it, nodded to the principal's grandmother, and said, "Then I'll go outside and call my uncle first."
"OK."
The principal nodded and watched Li Luochen turn and walk out of the office.
The door closed gently behind him, shutting out the faint footsteps that could be heard in the corridor.
Once the door was closed tightly, the headmistress turned her gaze to the three girls standing in front of the desk.
"You guys have really found a great teacher."
The principal's voice was filled with emotion, but also with a touch of relief.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Li Luochen's uncle is from the Yulongdu clan is enough to show that his background is extraordinary.
Lance, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, a pillar of the League, and an honorary alumnus of Indigo Academy!
With him as their guarantor, these three children's cultivation in the Donghuang region will no longer face any obstacles, at least in terms of their status and legitimacy!
For the three women, this can only be a good thing!
The headmistress knows all too well what a good teacher means!
Not the kind of teacher who follows the rules and teaches by rote, but a true master who can guide his apprentices on their path!
Li Luochen can definitely do it!
He is young, capable, and has a strong background.
The principal's grandmother recalled the look in his eyes when he looked at the three girls earlier.
Having taught for many years, she could clearly see that Li Luochen genuinely wanted to teach them something; he wasn't just going through the motions.
Perhaps becoming a superstar wouldn't be a problem!
When the idea popped into the headmistress's mind, she was stunned for a moment.
Elite-level Trainer!
In all the years since Indigo Academy was founded, it has produced only a handful of Elite Four level trainers!
And now, she had a feeling that these three young girls in front of her might actually have a chance!
......
......
Meanwhile, in the corridor.
"Hello, Uncle?"
Li Luochen leaned against the wall in the corridor, his phone pressed against his ear, the sound very soft.
"You brat, you only call me when you need something."
On the other end of the phone, Yu Longdu's voice was chuckled, deep and gentle, like an elder scolding, yet with a hint of indulgence, "Haha, this time I'm going to have a good chat with you."
"Hehe, Uncle is so busy, I just didn't want to trouble you on a daily basis." Li Luochen smiled, his tone carrying a hint of flattery.
"Hey, your uncle doesn't like hearing that," Yu Longdu's voice suddenly became serious. "You're my only nephew, how could I possibly find you troublesome!"
"Uncle is right!" Li Luochen quickly agreed.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Yulongdu spoke again, his tone casual, as if chatting about everyday things: "Oh, by the way, you're coming to Quartz Plateau in a couple of days, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong, Uncle?" Li Luochen was slightly taken aback.
"How about I introduce you to someone?"
"Um???"
Li Luochen's voice rose a few decibels, and he sprang up from the wall, standing straight.
Yu Longdu himself hasn't even gotten married, yet he's introducing someone to him? What kind of operation is this?
"May I ask which one you'd like to introduce to me, Uncle?" Li Luochen asked tentatively.
"The current Ice-type Champion of the Kanto region—Lorelei!"
Yu Longdu spoke with great vigor, as if he were announcing some major good news for hope Yao.
"Damn, isn't she eight years older than me? She's practically an old auntie!" Li Luochen blurted out, his voice trembling.
"You stinky nephew from Yulongdu, who are you calling an old auntie?! I'm only twenty-eight! I've never even been in a relationship, and you're complaining that I'm old?! Look at you, so young, you've probably never even held a girl's hand!"
Suddenly, a clear female voice came from the other end of the phone, urgent and fast, like a barrage of words.
His tone carried three parts annoyance, three parts grievance, and four parts resentment: "Why do you look down on me?"
The owner of the voice was clearly right next to Yulongdu, having heard every word he said.
"Alright, alright, Kona, calm down."
Another voice rang out, also that of an old woman.
Li Luochen: ?
He stood there, phone pressed against his ear, brows furrowed.
What's going on?
Wasn't he talking to his uncle on the phone?
Why are so many people listening? He glanced at his phone screen instinctively.
The contact name is indeed "Uncle," and the call duration is still ticking away second by second; everything seems normal.
But there was clearly more than one person on the other end of the phone, maybe even more than two.
This isn't a phone call, it's a huge meeting!
"Uncle?" he called out tentatively.
"Cough cough..."
Yu Longdu cleared his throat, his voice tinged with guilt, "Um... Luo Chen, actually, a few of us were having dinner together."
Li Luochen fell silent.
He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
"So what I just said—"
"Everyone heard it." There was a hint of schadenfreude in Yulongdu's voice. "Everyone present heard it."
Li Luochen fell silent again. His fingers tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white, and only one thought occupied his mind—could he hang up the phone?
......
......
Quartz Plateau, Alliance Headquarters, Uranus's Office.
Several half-eaten bento boxes were spread out on the table, chopsticks were placed across the rim of the bowls, and a few crushed beverage cans were scattered around.
Yu Longdu sat in the main seat, holding his phone in his hand, his expression subtle, as if he wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to.
Kona sat opposite him, arms crossed, face flushed red, lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes fixed on the phone in Yulongdu's hand, as if it were not a phone, but Li Luochen himself.
Shiba sat in the corner, holding a half-eaten angry bun in his hand, his cheeks bulging. He chewed a couple of times and then suddenly stopped.
He heard Li Luochen call him "old auntie" on the other end of the phone, and his eyes widened like saucers, with crumbs of steamed bun falling from the corner of his mouth.
He instinctively tried to swallow, but choked.
"Cough—cough cough cough!!!"
Shiba punched his chest twice, his face turning even redder than Kona's.
He grabbed the water glass on the table and gulped down several mouthfuls. The water overflowed from the rim of the glass and trickled down his chin and neck, but he didn't care.
After taking several sips, the stuff stuck in my throat finally went down.
Shiba put down the cup, let out a long breath, and then—
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Laughter burst from his throat, loud and clear, echoing through the office and making the windows tremble slightly.
He laughed so hard he almost fell over, and tears were welling up in his eyes.
Shiba is now a real resident of Bengbu.
What's wrong with these two, uncle and nephew?
Falcon has been single for so many years and has never been in a hurry, but now he's introducing his nephew to a potential partner, Korna—Korna who is eight years older than his nephew.
As for Li Luochen, he immediately called her "old auntie," showing her no respect whatsoever.
These two seem to have a grudge against Kona.
Kona's face turned even redder, from her forehead to the base of her neck, and even her ears felt hot.
She grabbed a cushion from the table and threw it at Shiba.
"What are you laughing at!" Her voice was sharp and shrill, tinged with a hint of embarrassment and anger.
Shiba caught the cushion, tossed it aside, and couldn't stop laughing.
