People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 364 Should be treated with the respect due to a disciple

"What kind of person is this Li Qi?!"

In a corner of the open space below Chunyang Palace, a tall man with a somewhat cold aura watched the lively scene on the steps, his gaze growing increasingly icy.

This person is named Takeshi Higashino, from the Manchō Group on the East Island. This group is one of the five major conglomerates on the East Island and is very powerful. His father is the head of the Manchō Group.

He wasn't part of the film crew, but he was talented enough to appear here with ease.

As for the reason he came, it was naturally because of Fan Mengxin. Last year, Fan Mengxin was filming on Dongdao Island when he ran into her and began to pursue her, but there had been no progress.

However, his pursuit of Fan Mengxin was not entirely pure. On one hand, it was lust at first sight, and on the other hand, it was also because of the Divine Heaven Path.

While it's true that among the Nine Paths of Divine Heaven, the Dream Path lineage is the one who holds the sword and protects the path, not the sect leader, if he truly succeeds, the benefits will be enormous, potentially even surpassing his other brothers and sisters and becoming the group's designated successor.

After all, the Ten Great Kingdoms were incredibly powerful, their influence resounding throughout the world, while Dongdao was just a small island nation that had been defeated by the King with fewer troops, leaving it questioning its very existence.

At this moment, seeing someone so close to Fan Mengxin, he naturally harbored evil thoughts.

However, he was not an impulsive person. In fact, he even had a smile on his face when he asked the question. If you didn't look closely at his eyes, it would be difficult to detect his thoughts.

Undoubtedly, this person plans things out carefully before acting.

If he were to jump out without thinking at the slightest provocation, he would probably have been devoured by his brothers and sisters long ago.

“Young Master, I had Tianzhao use facial recognition to check. This person is called Li Qi. He is only sixteen years old and his martial arts are at the third level of Breaking Limit. He even defeated a Heavenly Star Fate cultivator who was also at the third level of Breaking Limit.”

Next to Takeshi Higashino, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler responded.

"Sixteen years old, at the third level, this person seems to be a genius..."

Higashino Takeshi's thoughts shifted, and the coldness in his eyes lessened somewhat, but he felt it wasn't worth offending such a person.

"This person is not a genius, but surpasses even geniuses. His innate talent and foundation are not strong, but he is an extraordinary person with an extraordinary mental structure. A few months ago, his martial arts were still mediocre, until he slew the demon tribulation and proved himself. In a short period of time, he broke through three levels of heaven, and with his powerful mind, he controlled everything and defeated the strong with the weak..."

The middle-aged man continued to respond.

"In this world, there is no such thing as the weak defeating the strong. Some strength is visible, such as pure physical power, while some strength is invisible, such as the mind. But strength is strength, and that is its inherent strength!"

"The idea of ​​the weak defeating the strong is nothing but the view of mediocre people!"

"This man is truly a hero!"

At this moment, Takeshi Higashino's expression completely changed, and all coldness and hostility vanished.

"Um?!"

"What's that scoundrel doing here? Is he going to keep bothering Sister Mengxin, or is he going to cause trouble for Li Qi?!"

"This person is also cunning. He invested in the production team in advance, approached them as an investor, and did everything flawlessly..."

On the other side, Su Wan'er noticed Higashino Takeshi walking over at this moment, and a bunch of thoughts immediately came to mind.

"Will Li Qi be alright? This Dongye Wuxin is said to have reached the second level of the Breakthrough Limit in martial arts. Although he only achieved this at the age of twenty-eight, which is considered average talent, Li Qi is only sixteen..." For some reason, Su Wan'er began to feel nervous again. Of course, she knew that Li Qi was not simple, but in a place like Tiannan, there didn't seem to be any major schools of martial arts. How could such barren soil produce masters?

At this moment, she imagined that Li Qi might have been Fan Mengxin's childhood playmate, but one of them went to a sect and the other returned to their hometown. Now, they were old friends meeting again...

At this moment, Higashino Takeshi strode over, his eyes shining as he looked at Li Qi. Upon getting close, he first bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, then, without raising his head, respectfully said, "I am Higashino Takeshi. I have long heard of Master Li Qi's extraordinary martial arts, which can move mountains and rivers with a single stroke of his sword, but I have never had the chance to witness it. Today, I finally meet you, Master. I hope that you will allow me to learn from you. I will serve you with the respect due to a disciple!"

For a 28-year-old who has broken two major limits and is also a big boss, to make such a gesture toward a young man 12 years younger than himself is undoubtedly quite astonishing.

At this moment, Su Wan'er and Qin Yue were both stunned. They had imagined all sorts of scenarios where a fight would break out, but they never expected things to develop this way.

They knew Higashino Takeshi's personality well; he was usually very domineering, but now he was so submissive that it made them wonder if he had been replaced.

It wasn't just the two of them; quite a few people in the crew had been paying attention to this. After all, how could an ordinary person be treated like this by Fan Mengxin? They had been speculating about Li Qi's intentions, and even imagined a whole bunch of scenarios when they saw Higashino Takeshi approaching. But they never expected that the final result would be like this.

"I've long heard of Dongdao, that they have small courtesy but no great principles. Today I've seen it for myself. Those who have value to me call me 'teacher,' while those who have no value to me are nothing but weeds..."

With a single glance, Li Qi saw through Higashino Takeshi's thoughts: the other man was gambling, betting that he was young and naive and would agree.

After all, most people start out ordinary and suddenly rise to great heights. Coupled with youthful impetuosity, they are likely to become arrogant. At this time, they suddenly become popular with people from all directions. How many people can refuse them?

Higashino Takeshi undoubtedly saw Li Qi's future potential, which is why he placed his bet at this time. As long as he could get on Li Qi's good side, he would do all sorts of work and effort. Even if Li Qi realized this later when he was older, by then the karmic connection would be too deep. If Li Qi really wanted to come over, how could he refuse unless it was something very difficult?

Even he himself is a great brand.

As for saving face at this point, how could such a ruthless and ambitious man possibly care about such things?

However, Li Qiren was insightful and did not buy it at all. Even though he had not yet truly soared to great heights, not just anyone could climb up to him.

Those who didn't understand only felt Li Qi's imposing presence at this moment, but only those who saw through the tricks of the trade knew the underhanded dealings involved.

There is never any genuine, heartfelt admiration or awe; there is only naked self-interest and personal gain.

It's just that most people can't be as shameless as Takeshi Higashino.

However, Higashino Takeshi pretended not to hear Li Qi's words and continued, "I hope that Master will allow me to learn from you. I will serve you with the respect due to a disciple!"

His humble and sincere words made Su Wan'er and Qin Yue believe in an instant that he was truly sincere.

However, Li Qi did not buy it at all. With a wave of his sleeve, a strong wind rose out of thin air. His hand was clearly more than 30 centimeters away from Higashino Takeshi, but the strong wind swept through and pushed him away two or three meters away before he could barely stand up.

"If you keep bothering me, I'll cripple your martial arts!"

Li Qi said coldly. At that moment, many people felt a chill in their hearts, and Higashino Takeshi was even more shocked. In an instant, cold sweat had soaked through his clothes, but he knew that Li Qi was not trying to scare him.

At the same time, Li Qi's move also terrified him. You must know that he was also a master of two major limits, but in Li Qi's hands, he couldn't even stop a gust of wind.

Many people in the crew were shocked when they saw Li Qi wave his hand and Higashino Takeshi fly out with a loud bang. They had never expected that Li Qi would have such martial arts skills.

As for Su Wan'er and Qin Yue, who were nearby, their eyes lit up at this moment, but they were also even more curious about Li Qi's background.
