From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 197 A wonderful deal

"Yes, so this is why I came to see you, young friend." Elder Li smiled bitterly and said, "The halberd you bid for was spotted by a big shot from the Spirit Hall. Afterwards, that big shot came to my Li family to ask for it, and demanded that the young man who participated in the auction on behalf of my Li family at that time be severely punished."

"So, you are here to ask for that halberd?" Leng Xiyao thought about it and realized that if she had caused the other party these troubles, then the halberd should be returned to help the other party solve the problem.

She was not an egoist. Elder Li had come to talk to her so kindly, and she shouldn't let the other family offend the Spirit Hall over such a small matter.

Anyway, the gene fragments are already in hand. Although the skills attached to the halberd are quite interesting, they are not that helpful to Leng Xiyao, so just return it.

"No." Unexpectedly, Mr. Li shook his head and said, "Although my Li family is in a state of uncertainty, we will not violate our principles. Once something is sold, it is like water spilled. There is absolutely no reason to buy it back and give it to please others."

"Therefore, I rejected the two big men from the Spirit Hall, but it also caused greater trouble for the Li family, and this trouble is something we cannot solve. After thinking about it, only you, my friend, are the most suitable person to help us."

"Oh, I wonder what kind of trouble it is?" Leng Xiyao asked curiously.

"As the top dignitaries of the Tiandou Empire, our Li family will send a direct descendant to participate in every Continental High-level Spirit Master Competition." Elder Li said:
"And the way that elder attacked us was to not allow our Li family to participate in this soul master competition, and to spread the news. Now, the people from the major hidden families should have received this news."

"If we really don't send anyone, or just send someone from another family, then the other major families will definitely think that we have succumbed to the tyranny of the Spirit Hall, and thus become distrustful of us. The family alliance may even be damaged."

"But if we send the Li family, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the Spirit Hall elder, which is equivalent to ignoring the dignity of the Spirit Hall. Then, the one from Spirit City will not let us go."

Leng Xiyao thought about it and realized that if she were in Mr. Li's position, it would be quite difficult. She had to consider the thoughts of other members of the Aristocratic Family Alliance and also worry about the revenge of the Spirit Hall. And all this was because Mr. Li gave her two invitations.

After thinking this through, Leng Xiyao probably understood what Mr. Li was thinking, but before she could speak, Mr. Li said solemnly:
"So, I plan to let you, my friend, become the representative of our Li family and participate in this Soul Master Competition!"

"Because you are the only one who can be determined by the other major families to be unlikely to collude with the Spirit Hall, and you are not a member of our Li family. Therefore, even if the Spirit Hall is dissatisfied with us, they will not directly start a war over it!"

Sure enough.

Leng Xiyao guessed that this was Mr. Li's purpose, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be a bad thing. After all, this matter was limited to the preliminaries in Tiandou City and would not affect her plans in Wuhun City.

Although it might be more ostentatious, the Leng family already knew that she was in Tiandou City and had sent people to assassinate her before, so there was no need to hide it anymore. It would be better for her to come out directly.

Thinking of this, Leng Xiyao nodded to Mr. Li and said, "I agree to this. I wonder if Mr. Li has any special arrangements?"

"Good! You are indeed a man of loyalty and righteousness. I was right about you!" Elder Li praised him and then said, "This time, our Li family's seat will be the second seat on the left of the Emperor. Next to you is the platinum bishop of the Spirit Hall."

"His Majesty the Emperor knows that our Li family is being harassed by the Spirit Hall. He will not say much when he sees you involved. However, the Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop Sarath, although not very powerful, has the support of the Spirit Hall and does not take our Li family seriously. This time, with the instructions of that big shot, he will definitely embarrass you like a mad dog. You must be careful in dealing with it."

As the platinum bishop of Tiandou City, Sarath's strength is as high as level 89, but he is still a low-ranking figure in the eyes of Mr. Li.

After saying that, Mr. Li glanced at Leng Xiyao, as if he felt that what he said was a bit redundant, so he smiled and said, "But I think you are not someone who doesn't know the importance of things. I'm relieved to leave this matter to you."

"Don't worry, this matter was caused by me, so naturally I should solve it." Leng Xiyao said.

"I know that you have been searching for craftsmen recently in order to expand the business of your Chamber of Commerce. If you don't mind, I can provide my Li family's 2,000 professional craftsmen to help with production for five years free of charge. What do you think?" Everything has to pay attention to the benefits. Since Leng Xiyao is so straightforward, it is natural that Mr. Li will not treat her unfairly.

"That's great, that's great." Hearing what Mr. Li said, Leng Xiyao's heart blossomed with joy. She knew that since she had helped Mr. Li, he would definitely not treat her unfairly. Two thousand craftsmen given to her in five years was enough for her to produce arms worth billions!

With such a generous price, not to mention that she has some connection with Li Laohe, she would have to take the job even if she didn't know him at all!

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I believe you won't put our Li family into an embarrassing situation. So I won't say anything extra. I will go back and arrange the handover of the craftsmen." Old Li bowed and said.

"Hey, Mr. Li, take care~" Leng Xiyao stood up and saw him out.

Seeing that Mr. Li was going away, Leng Xiyao sat back down, took a sip of the tea, and asked the air, "Xiao Yun, did Mr. Li bring the secret guards just now?"

As her voice fell, there was a sudden ripple in the air, and then a girl in a ghost uniform appeared in front of Leng Xiyao and replied respectfully: "Miss, Mr. Li did not bring any secret guards with him. It seems that he came alone. The two playboys did not get any support and left directly."

During these three months, Tao Yaoyao also developed her ghost team. Xiaoyun was one of them. She was also a loyal fan of Leng Xiyao. After a fierce competition, she successfully became Leng Xiyao's personal bodyguard.

After experiments, Leng Xiyao discovered that as long as the Ghost Combat Suit entered stealth mode, it would be extremely difficult to detect even a Titled Douluo.

Because of the special materials of the combat uniform and the special sniper rifle, plus the secret psychic power that can calm oneself down, even if one uses soul power to scan many times, all one can see is air. Only a master like Tian Meng who specializes in mental power can find any clues.
