People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 376 Strategic Thinking and Decisive Action
After speaking, the woman simply pointed to the sofa next to her, without getting up, and completely ignored Li Qi and the other person, continuing to read the book in her hands.

Such behavior is undoubtedly extremely arrogant.

Li Qi, however, didn't care at all, treating himself as just an observer.

At this moment, Li Tianxing pondered the other party's attitude and decided not to make a move. He simply sat down on the sofa.

Undoubtedly, the other party's attitude didn't seem like that of someone trying to conduct business properly; it felt like they were being intimidated.

However, this method seems too crude, almost like playing house.

As for this woman, her surname is Bai, her name is Bai Yunwei, she is twenty-one years old, and her destiny is influenced by the Heavenly Star.

Like Zhuang Buzhou, she also experienced the trials of the mortal world, accomplishing many great things in the five years between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one.

He had been in contact with the other party some time ago. The other party was meticulous in his dealings with people, which is why he kept adding costs, leading to the current situation.

Bai Yunwei's previous impression on him, however, gave him confidence.

Li Tianxing was undoubtedly a smart man. After some thought, he concluded that the problem lay with Li Qi and wanted to see Li Qi's reaction.

While this method is crude, given Li Qi's life experience and lack of worldly trials, a sudden provocation might actually reveal his true nature.

"In Journey to the West, there is a story of four sages testing the minds of monks. What is Bai Yunwei trying to do?!"

"This is to see just how good Li Qi really is!!"

"But what's the point of her seeing all this?!"

"The next round of the Hidden Dragon Cup will still be decided by strength..."

"Could it be that she's looking for a cultivation partner?!"

"But Li Qi can suppress even the Heavenly Star entering his destiny, so he really deserves to marry her..."

"If this marriage goes through, it'll be a powerful alliance..."

Li Tianxing started making the same mistake that all smart people make: he started overthinking.

The smarter a person is, the more they enjoy doing this kind of thing.

As for Li Qi, he remained calm at this moment, his gaze fixed on the distant sky through the glass. In his mind, he had already glimpsed some of the mysteries of the celestial bodies in a short instant. As his spiritual world operated, everything was shattered, digested, and absorbed within the framework of the unified order. Some of it was transformed into tangible attribute growth, and some into potential accumulation.

Even with Li Qi's current physique, this insight only increased his mind and will by 0.02, which is getting less and less.

It's not that the value of astrological influence is low, but rather that even if his insight reaches the highest level, he can only see the surface of astrological destiny and not its core.

This thing is even more profound than the human heart.

When he fights with masters, he can see through the mysteries of their martial arts and his divine intent is brilliant, but when it comes to astrological destiny, he can hardly grasp the core.

Undoubtedly, when the sage created the great destiny of humanity, his realm was extremely profound and extraordinary, and thus his creation was also infinitely deep.

However, Li Qi believed that if he achieved the Demon God form, he would definitely be able to touch the core. His golden insight was definitely strong enough. The only thing he lacked was his own life strength.

At this moment, Li Qi's spiritual senses clearly perceived that Bai Yunwei, seemingly reading a book, was actually focusing all her attention on him, trying to gauge his true abilities and observe his reactions. Furthermore, unlike Li Tianxing's mental turmoil, Li Qi instantly grasped her purpose.

Undoubtedly, this is a test, a way to see what kind of personality I have.

But the purpose was naturally not for Li Tianxing to find a Daoist partner as he fantasized, but for the other party to find companions to stick together for warmth.

Baiyun Group is essentially in this business; the so-called high-end club salons are simply a way for the wealthy to exchange resources and band together for mutual support.

In this era, the Three Saints are invincible and the Seven Immortals are extraordinary, but the 108 Stars are somewhat stuck in the middle, without a firm foothold in the great era to come.

Therefore, a long time ago, Bai Yunwei joined a mutual aid circle formed by a person with a celestial destiny, and had the task of recruiting new members.

Although Li Qi was not a celestial being in her destiny, he was strong enough to surpass Zhuang Buzhou, so he was naturally within her consideration.

Li Qi wasn't interested in Bai Yunwei's inner circle, but he was somewhat interested in the Heavenly Star entering his destiny. If he could use his Insight to see the truth, it would be a valuable asset.

After all, searching the world for celestial stars to determine one's destiny is undoubtedly very tedious, but if these people gather together and come here on their own, it will be very convenient.

At the same time, Li Qi was also interested in the destiny of those who entered the Heavenly Star, and wondered if he could force himself to get on board.

After all, he had already experienced the tribulation of demons once.

He knew perfectly well how great the benefits of the "Nine Transformations of the Cicada's Heart" dream were; he wouldn't complain about such a free opportunity.

Even if he can't force his way onto the bus, it's not a big problem. No amount of luck or good fortune can compare to his demonic demeanor!
Once this is achieved, it will be truly unique throughout history and invincible.

Therefore, although Li Qi had some thoughts in his mind, he was still not greedy or attached, which can be described as being invincible because he was without desire, allowing everything to happen.

In fact, Bai Yunwei was also somewhat surprised at this moment, as she discovered that the Li Qi she was seeing was completely different from the image of Li Qi in all the video materials about Li Qi that she had found online using artificial intelligence.

Based on her original understanding, the Li Qi she pieced together should be someone who thinks he is the only one who matters in the world, is ruthless, domineering, and loves to show off... a typical nouveau riche.

After all, cultivation has been slow all along, but a demonic tribulation can send one soaring to the heavens. Under such circumstances, it is only natural to be arrogant and complacent; this is human nature.

All nouveau riche are like that.

Therefore, many nouveau riche rise quickly but fall even faster. In spiritual practice, this means they attain enlightenment but cannot maintain it.

But now, Li Qi sits on the sofa, calm and peaceful, as if everything in the mortal world has nothing to do with him. Although he is still in this world, his mind seems to have reached another dimension, transcending reality. He has the aura of a great cultivator, the feeling of a true cultivator.

At one point, Bai Yunwei even felt that Li Qi resembled her master somewhat.

But how could this be? His master was a great immortal who was over a hundred years old and had truly experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Time passed by little by little, and soon footsteps sounded at the door again. Then the door opened, and two women and a man walked in.

Two of the women were around thirty years old, tall and beautiful. One had long hair and the other had short hair. The woman with long hair gave the impression of being deep and scheming, while the other gave the impression of being extremely decisive and shrewd.

As for the man, he was very tall and his aura was cold and sinister, but not effeminate. He gave the impression of being an emotionless robot, or a killing machine, with a strong sense of bloodshed.

The moment these three people appeared, Li Tianxing felt immense pressure.
