“This Li Xianyu is despicable and shameless. He has no bottom line and a dirty heart. He is a venomous snake who seems loyal but in fact will give you a fatal bite at any time,” Li Peiyun said solemnly.
“I have seen his picture. Are you sure he looks very loyal?” Aoki Yui was puzzled.
The Li family descendant was very handsome. Looking at his five features, he was a handsome man, but his excessive beauty often made people ignore the word “handsome”.
“It’s an adjective,” Li Peiyun said with a shrug. “He’s my enemy, and I’m going to speak ill of him behind his back. I will continue to slander him and discredit him.”
Aoki Yui was speechless. It was hard to imagine the man saying this so unabashedly with a serious, cold expression.
“The Li family descendant is so strong that even you were defeated by him,” Aoki Yui commented/ “I want to be vigilant. If I am lucky enough to encounter him in the future, I should not underestimate him.”
“No, he’s not as powerful as he seems. I can only describe his real strength with one word: weak.” Li Peiyun harrumphed.
You can’t even defeat a weak guy then… Aoki Yui snarked internally but she had a dignified smile on her face/ “What do you mean?”
Li Peiyun waved his hand, which indicated that he didn’t want to say it. He wasn’t interested to praise Li Xianyu and changed the subject. “As far as I know, the strongest of China’s young generation is not one of us Gokudo inheritors.”
Aoki Yui let out a curious “Oh?”
“The abandoned son of the Northeast Wu family, the previous minister of Fengtian Branch.” Li Peiyun held the glass of wine, but did not drink.
He said with pity, “He isn’t even 30 years old yet and personally slaughtered his family ancestor, who was a supreme master ranked 9th on the demon descendants list. Compared to him, be it me, Jie Se or Dan Chenzi, no one is his match in the younger generation.”
Wu Sanjin was only a few years older than Li Peiyun, and a year short of being 30 years old. Strictly speaking, he was also a member of the younger generation.
In the demon descendants community, people over the age of 20 and under 35 are members of the younger generation. As for those under the age of 20, most of them have not yet emerged, and their hair has not grown fully. Since ancient times until now, there were very few demon descendants who were famous when they were 20 years old. Thus, demon descendants who were younger than 20 years old were not considered as the younger generation, as they haven’t even stepped onto the stage.
Li Xianyu was 20 years old, and was considered to have a nominal age of 21. He had just passed the threshold of “hair has not grown fully.”
“I have to admit that China has a large territory and a large population. With such a large base, the number of elites amongst the demon descendants can be described as the forefront of the world,” she commented.
Population and territory was this country’s greatest advantage, and its ability to take off quickly in the crucial two decades had relied on this enormous size.
This advantage was not only reflected in the economy, but also in the demon descendants world. With a large population, every now and then, a prodigy would pop up. Li Wuxiang 20 years ago, Baoze’s leader, Northeast Wu Sanjin, were all listed here.
“Let’s get back to business.” After a long time, Li Peiyun finally returned to the point. Demon descendants’ liver could process and filter alcohol out easily but the two continued to drink. It was inevitable that they were a little tipsy, so the topic went off course again.
“The battle for the Demonic Priest’s treasure was also the battle that propelled me to fame. I’m sure your Aoki family knows of this clearly.”
“Isn’t it the battle that propelled the Li family descendant to fame?”
The corners of Li Peiyun’s mouth twitched. He looked aloof and nonchalant but he was cursing in his heart.
“We each became famous. That’s not the point. I obtained the sword of qi in that competition, so that I could really cultivate the Tri-Elements Sword Technique. With the Demonic Priest’s rich qi, my cultivation grew immensely.”
“However, you know that the Tri-Elements Sword Technique was the Demonic Priest’s signature move that he came up with himself. It has nothing to do with the Great Deities Palace. So, what did he bring out from the Great Deities Palace?”
“According to our analysis, Wangchen was besieged by the Buddhist society and after he died, the treasure of the Great Deities Palace may have fallen into the hands of a formidable character at that time.”
Aoki Yui said, “In fact, we, the Aoki family do not know what the Demonic Priest brought out from the Great Deities Palace. Although, in that year…” She paused and did not go on.
“After the death of the Demonic Priest, the treasure he brought out of the Great Deities Palace disappeared, and for decades no one had risen like he did in the past. It shows that the Demonic Priest’s true treasure is still there.”
“It’s only hidden in a place that no one else can find. It wasn’t until I found the sword of qi that I realized the sword of qi and the treasure were hidden together.”
“You mean…” Aoki Yui was suddenly excited. “Where is the treasure, where is the treasure?”
“Don’t pull so hard.” Li Peiyun pulled back. “The treasure is not with me, but seeing your reaction, I can more or less guess the deal that your Aoki family had with the Demonic Priest then.”
“The treasure is not with me, but I know where it is.” Looking at Aoki Yui’s agitated expression and wide eyes, Li Peiyun said, “This is the secret I want to tell you. It is in the hands of the Li family descendant.”
“Li family descendant?” Aoki Yui looked skeptical. “How can you prove it?”
“You should know that in the process of the battle for the Demonic Priest’s treasure, the Li family descendant went mad and attacked wildly. There was no video circulation of the incident, but as a witness, I can tell you one thing.” Li Peiyun patted his left arm and described to her, how strange Li Xianyu’s left arm was.
“In fact, before the battle for the battle for the Demonic Priest’s treasure, I had a battle with the Li family descendant. There was a live broadcast of that battle, and you will find out when you have time to check it out.”
“I don’t want to say any more here. What I want to say is that a person will not keep his ace card at a critical life and death juncture. It makes no sense to keep your ace card but end up dying.”
“His left arm did not mutate at all in that battle, but mutated a few days later. What does that mean? You should be able to figure it out.”
“The relationship and origin between the Demonic Priest and your Aoki family, as well as what you are going to look for in the Great Deities Palace. Think of the correlation. What the Aoki family wants is on Li Xianyu.”
Li Peiyun looked sincere. “So let’s work together to deal with the Li family descendant.”
Aoki Yui gulped down a large mouthful of wine, and suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. She calmed down for a while and said, “I will find time to make contact with the Li family descendant.”
“By the way, here’s a small piece of information for you. The Li family’s ancestral power is strengthening, and Li Xianyu’s ability is self-healing, I once suspected that he is not Li Wuxiang’s biological son. However, I later thought he must be Li Wuxiang’s cub, otherwise he would not be able to wake up the Unparalleled War Spirit.”
“Next, there’s another incredulous factor. Superpowers are genetically programmed to be immutable. One is born with it and it cannot be changed. What is with Li Xianyu’s ability? Li Wuxiang’s harvest after he entered the Great Deities Palace may be far bigger than the Demonic Priest’s.”
“The Great Deities Palace is a magical place, and even if your Aoki family’s coveted treasure is on Li Xianyu, I’m sure that you will continue the deal with me. Li Peiyun raised the glass and finished the wine. He then put it down and went straight out. “I’ll make a move first.”
Aoki Yui replied nonchalantly, “Farewell.”
After Li Peiyun left the private room, he walked through KTV suites along the lavishly decorated corridor. He could see the men and women in the room behaving wantonly through the glass on the door.
Li Peiyun’s face remained expressionless as he shuttled through the sea of desire. His expression was cold and indifferent, and the slight boastfulness revealed in front of Aoki Yui was just an act.
He was very good at acting. In this meeting, he actually wanted to use the image of a playboy to make contact with the only daughter of the Aoki family. However, he remembered that his great-grandfather had mentioned that the Japanese were serious and did not like working with pompous partners. Thus, he adjusted his personality to become a serious man that would still be in contact with women, and one with obvious weaknesses.
An Actor Prepares was a book one must read if they wanted to be successful.
He pushed open the room at the end of the corridor and saw his partner donned in a bathrobe. He was cradling a fox girl as he lounged. The fox girl’s face was charming and looked flirty. Seeing Li Peiyun come in, the fox girl’s expression changed and became seductive.
“Stop flirting, my brother here doesn’t get close to women. If one of your sisters can get his blood, I will reward her handsomely.” The man with slender eyes waved his hand, and the fox girl retreated obediently.
Li Peiyun was expressionless.
“Has it been settled?”
“No, I have to wait for a reply, but it’s mostly done.” Li Peiyun nodded.
He looked at his advisor with a disgruntled expression/ “After you returned from the northeast, you have had sex every day, is the pressure is so great? Don’t you always say that the brain provides justice, and wisdom is the truth?”
“However wise you are, you have to be backed by martial force. If you can become a half step from Gokudo master, would I have to have sex every day? Tsk, women are disgusting.” The man with slender eyes sighed.
He was more beautiful than most women in terms of his looks alone.
“The plan of the leader of the Demons Alliance failed, Wu Sanjin never thought to make the life of the Demons Alliance better, but I don’t mind. Everyone is using each other anyway. The greater the losses of the Demons Alliance, the better for me. But I didn’t expect for someone to emerge halfway.”
“Have you found out where that woman came from?”
“We found out, she’s a gyrfalcon from Heilongjiang. The Demons Alliance dealt with her a long time ago. To be exact, the predecessor of the Demons Alliance, the five major families did so. She used to be the strongest foreign species in Heilongjiang, the king of the sky. The Liu family, Hui family, Hu family and Huang family, these four foreign species families are her food.”
“Anyone targeted by her would be dead. Out of desperation, the four families had to submit to her and give her offerings every month and pray for mercy under her claws,” the man with slender eyes said.
“But that was a matter of the last century. Since then, the gyrfalcon entered her twilight years and was afraid that the Demons Alliance would take revenge. So she hid.”
“It doesn’t sound right. Looking at the photo, she’s clearly in her prime.” Li Peiyun frowned.
“It was because of the photos that I found her portrait in the ancient literature of the Demons Alliance.” The man with slender eyes got up and found a sketch and a photo from the drawer.
Li Peiyun looked over. The sketch was of a middle-aged woman, and the photo was of a young woman. The features of both had a 70% to 80% similarity and their eyes were just as sharp.
“The sketch was copied by a Japanese painter. At that time, the three eastern provinces were under the rule of the Japanese, and she had entered middle age that year. If she hadn’t died, she should be old,” the man with slender eyes said.
“Could it be her offspring?”
“No, if she had offspring, the Demons Alliance will not be unaware of her. There will certainly be a record.”
“Renewal of youth?”
“It’s incredible, but that’s the truth,” the man with slender eyes said. “With her character, she should not be interested in the position of Alliance Leader, and in fact it was the case. She did not care about the power of the alliance leader. When she became the leader of the alliance, she disappeared.”
“Once every few years, she will come forward, to show her presence. She didn’t bother to run the Demons Alliance, but she had to care about it. She appeared to sign in at work and disappeared.”
“Sign in at work…” The man with slender eyes pondered for a moment, before shaking all over. “So it’s like this.”
Li Peiyun completely failed to keep up with his rhythm, and asked with a confused expression, “What are you trying to say exactly?”
“Someone, like me, seems to be targeting Demons Alliance, which is a piece of fat meat. However, their methods are more clever than mine. If a snipe and a clam are locked in a fight, it is only to the advantage of the fisherman. And so far, outsiders don’t even know they exist, and they could even hide from Baoze’s detection.”
“Will it have an impact on my plan?” Li Peiyun asked seriously.
The man with slender eyes shook his head, “There is no intersection, so it should not hinder your plans. But we have to care about an organization that has mastered renewal of youth.”
Li Peiyun shrugged. “Then it has nothing to do with me, I’m too lazy to be bothered. I’m going back to the room to practice.” He went to the door and suddenly stopped. “By the way, the Aoki family is a descendant of the Tamamo no Mae, which said there was an existence of their clan origin in the Great Deities Palace. Tamamo no Mae is a fox, you are also a fox, do you come from the same ancestor?”
“What made you think so?”
“Because you are all foxes.”
“Then you and Li Xianyu are from the same ancestor. You both have the surname Li.”
“Get out.”
