However, at this moment, Li Catfish suddenly remembered something, and his aura suddenly withdrew, and he swallowed the words back. He stared at the young man in front of him with wide eyes and astonishment, as if he had discovered a great secret that shook the world.

Li Catfish was halfway through his cold words when he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed several times. He then looked at Su Chen hesitantly and asked cautiously:

"You are... you are 'Su Chen'... you are 'Yue Hua's' child 'Su Chen'?"

At this moment, Li Catfish's tone and expression seemed a little excited, and even his speech was a little incoherent, like a person who was overwhelmed by surprise.

This made Su Chen feel a little surprised. He let out a polite smile and nodded slightly to acknowledge the identity, but he didn't care too much or get anxious because he believed that the truth would soon come to light.

Sure enough, the next second, Li Catfish stepped forward with tears in his eyes, holding Su Chen's hands and sobbing:

"...Child, I am your 'Uncle Catfish'. Unfortunately, back then... this was also the tragedy and misfortune of the 'Li Family'..."

Honestly speaking, all this happened so suddenly that even Su Chen was a little baffled. But after all, he was a modern man who traveled from Earth. Not to mention that he had seen countless movies, he still had some predictions in his heart.

"Hmm...this tone...this feeling...there must be...a story behind it..."

As expected by Su Chen, Li Catfish and Uncle Li continued to speak with snot running down their noses:

"Back then, I was five years old and your grandfather was three years old..."

However, as soon as he heard the beginning, Su Chen immediately felt something was wrong, and pulled his hands away without leaving a trace, and at the same time hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted politely:

"Uncle Li, can we be brief? We are in a hurry!!!"

However, 'Li Catfish' was also quite sensible. Hearing what 'Su Chen' said, he did not show any displeasure. He just paused for a moment, as if he was deleting and reorganizing his words, and then continued to look at Su Chen and nodded.

"I see. In that case, let's start from that summer... I remember the weather that year... was very hot..."

At this point, as if realizing something, he first looked at Su Chen with his big green bean eyes, only to see that he didn't react much. Then he coughed a few times, as if to clear his throat, before continuing:

"Ahem... um... the weather was very hot, but it was the time when the younger generation of our Li family went out to gain experience. It was also at that time that your mother met your father. A year passed, which was not too long or too short, and they fell in love."

After saying this, Li Catfish seemed a little melancholy and sighed slightly.

"Alas, it's just that women from big families never have love, they can only have interests. The four major families do restrain each other on the surface, but they are still fighting each other secretly. And this balance was broken more than 50 years ago because of Wei Qianxiang from the Wei family. No one knows where he came from. His information is also very secretive and even vague, as if he suddenly appeared in the Wei family. However, his strength is very terrifying. He overwhelmed the remaining three major families with his own strength, and no one dared to say no."

As the conversation progressed, Li Catfish's originally excited emotions gradually calmed down. Su Chen listened to Uncle Li and continued with a sigh:

"I'm sure you can guess what happened later. The head of the most powerful 'Bai Family' at that time, 'Bai Heng', was killed and became a vassal of the 'Wei Family'. The 'Mu Family' was the weakest and promised to give half of its profits and a large number of slaves every year in exchange for a glimmer of hope for the family's survival... As for the 'Li Family'... that is your mother... As for the result, you must also know that the 'marriage' failed, otherwise... you would not have been wrong..."

At this point, Li Catfish made a rare joke to Su Chen, raised his arm and patted Su Chen's shoulder. His green bean-sized eyes showed a loving look, but only for a moment, and his tone became a little melancholy again.

"...But because of this incident, the Li family was oppressed and targeted by the Wei family, so that there was no place for our Li family in the entire Tianwu. In the end, we could only hide somewhere in the sea. Fortunately, our Li family took the sea as its root and built this secret place at a great cost. Otherwise, the Li family would have been destroyed long ago..."

As he spoke, Li Catfish's expression became filled with indignation, and even his two catfish-like whiskers swayed up and down because of his expression. Although the scene looked a bit "funny", Su Chen still held back and did not laugh out loud. After all, as a responsible "protagonist", he still had some control.

"However, the current 'Li family' is not a monolithic entity. At least there are two factions in the family. One faction is centered on family inheritance. They believe that they can lose their heads and bleed, but they cannot lose the inheritance and glory of the 'Li family'. The other faction believes that 'survival' is the most important thing. They are definitely 'pro-Wei' and are willing to give up everything at any time to survive... even the lives of their uncles, brothers and sisters..."

Of course, Li Catfish himself was unaware of all this, because at the moment he was still immersed in the story he was telling.
