From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 196: Mr. Li’s Visit
"Xiyao." The master glanced at Leng Xiyao and said, "There are more important things waiting for her to do, so she can't participate in this competition."

After knowing Leng Xiyao's background, the master also made some guesses about her revenge plan.

Since he was planning to take revenge in Wuhun City, he absolutely could not participate in the competition. At least, he could not make a decision on his own before the other party clearly expressed their desire to participate.

In fact, Leng Xiyao really had no interest in this competition. It was certainly fun to bully the weak ones, but the more she bullied, the easier it would be for her psychic power, which was completely different from her soul power, to be discovered, and that was not a good thing.

As for sealing the soul rings of Liu Qinghan and Youmeng, it was of course done by Tianmeng. Although it was called a seal, its essence was just a simulation effect. As long as they wanted to release this state, it would only take a thought to restore their original strength.

"Xiyao, someone is looking for you." Just as Leng Xiyao was listening to the master's pre-match speech with relish, Zhao Wuji suddenly knocked on the door of the conference room.

Hearing this, Leng Xiyao became curious. Who was looking for her?
"Everyone, take your time chatting. I'll be out for a while." Leng Xiyao said a little embarrassedly, and then left the meeting room.

"Go ahead, I'll arrange the specific tactics." said the master.

"Xiyao, the person has been brought here. I'll leave first." Seeing Leng Xiyao coming out, Zhao Wuji had no intention of prying into the conversation between the two people. He just slipped away after bringing the person here.

After Zhao Wuji left, Leng Xiyao looked at the three people and laughed: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Li? What, do you think your juniors are causing trouble?"

The person who came was Mr. Li whom she had met before in the commercial street, and next to him were the second-generation rich man Li Ming who had been taught a lesson by her before, and the hypocrite Li Yang who had been beaten up by her.

Li Yang was relatively better off. The beatings only left him with superficial injuries, and he would be almost healed after taking some medicine. As for Li Ming, he was in a miserable state. He was thrown down from a height of more than ten meters. Now he still had bandages on his hands and walked with a limp.

"Hmph, you evil beasts, why don't you kneel down!" Old Li looked at the two of them with disappointment and shouted sternly.

"Miss Leng, please spare our lives!" The two men who had been following Mr. Li were already terrified. When they saw Leng Xiyao, they immediately prostrated themselves before him.

"Hey, what are you two doing? I can't accept your gift." Leng Xiyao looked at Li Ming, who was disabled but still working so hard. She felt a little pain.

"It's okay. Let them kneel. They are just two useless juniors." Old Li snorted coldly, not caring about their life or death at all.

Leng Xiyao knew that this was a gesture from the other party to win her forgiveness. However, given the other party's status, even if the juniors had offended her, as long as they stopped causing trouble for her or gave her some gifts, there was no need for them to come in person.

Then it means you have something to ask for.

Thinking of this, Leng Xiyao smiled and said, "Mr. Li, there is no need to be like this. In Tiandou City, everyone knows that the Li family is well connected. As the head of the Li family, it is naturally an honor for me that Mr. Li can take a liking to me. Why would I care about these unpleasant things?"

At the previous auction, Leng Xiyao had already realized the importance of the invitation letter.

Thinking about the condemnation of her by others at that time and the position of No. 3, it is easy to guess which Li family they are talking about.

Who else could it be except the Li family, which is one of the seven major families that has taken root in the Tiandou Empire and established itself in business and politics?

Seeing that Leng Xiyao directly pointed out his identity, Mr. Li was not surprised. He waved his hand and said, "What Li family? They are nothing more than ants who survive by playing nice with everyone and making connections everywhere."

Leng Xiyao was very surprised by what Mr. Li said. Logically speaking, as the seven major families were thousand-year-old families, each had its own pride and would not tolerate being insulted by others. There was no other person like Mr. Li who would belittle the head of his own family.

"Mr. Li is too modest. Which of the seven great families is not famous?" Leng Xiyao praised.

After some business exaggeration, Leng Xiyao brought up business: "Since Mr. Li came to see me in person, there must be something going on, right?"

"My friend, you are indeed a straightforward person. I wonder if there is any quiet place for us to have a chat?" Old Li smiled and seemed to admire Leng Xiyao very much.

"Of course, please come this way, Mr. Li." Leng Xiyao waved her hand, motioning Mr. Li to walk in front, with a very polite attitude.

There are plenty of conference rooms in Shrek Academy, so you can just pick one.

“Okay, then let’s find a place to talk slowly.” Elder Li said to Leng Xiyao with a smile, and then his expression suddenly changed. He cursed at the two people kneeling on the ground: “You two dogs, go back to the family and receive your punishment. You will be grounded for half a year!”

"Yes, sir." Li Yang and Li Ming staggered to their feet, and without saying a word, they ran away crawling.

After driving away the two prodigals, Mr. Li followed Leng Xiyao to a reception room. Leng Xiyao personally brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Mr. Li and herself. Then she said, "Mr. Li, you have come from afar. I wonder what's the important matter?"

"Alas, this is a long story." Elder Li laughed bitterly, and then said: "My friend, you should know that our Li family is not as far-sighted as the ancestor of the Leng family, and is tightly tied to the Spirit Hall. Therefore, we can only play both sides and recruit every force that can help our family continue."

"I think you can also see that the Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce was able to sit in the second seat at that auction because of my arrangement behind the scenes."

Indeed, the soul guides of the Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce are widely spread across the Douluo Continent. A small group of exiles can now gather such a huge force. The value of winning them over is almost comparable to that of the Spirit Hall.

After saying that, Elder Li glanced at Leng Xiyao and said, "In fact, you are also my target for winning over. Miss Leng's current power cannot be underestimated by anyone."

Leng Xiyao did not feel like she was being used as a result of Mr. Li's words. Instead, she felt very comfortable listening to them.

After all, being able to directly point out the matter of winning over is almost equivalent to a showdown. No one wants to be used. Even though Mr. Li knew this, he still spoke frankly to Leng Xiyao, which was enough to show his sincerity.

"Hey, what are you talking about, Mr. Li? If you hadn't given me that invitation letter, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get so many good things." Leng Xiyao was still very grateful to Mr. Li. Whether it was the fruit of martial soul fusion or the infected halberd, they were of great help to Leng Xiyao.
