People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 538 A Few Bites of Affection
At sixteen, one has already achieved the Four Great Refinements, which is impossible even for a born saint, unless there is an innate demon god in this world.

But the Demon God is unpredictable. No matter how special his junior brother is, he cannot foresee the Demon God's future.

His junior brother is not a god or demon, so it's reasonable that he overlooked some unknowns.

However, even though there is now a Dao Venerable above the Three Saints, having witnessed Li Qi's heaven-slaying strike, Fan Mengxin still believes that no matter how many more mysterious figures emerge in the future, Li Qi will definitely be able to occupy a place in the future era.

One step ahead may not lead to continuous progress, but if one's heart is firm enough and one perseveres, one can keep moving forward. If one encounters auspicious opportunities and circumstances, it is unimaginable what extraordinary and mysterious things may eventually be created.

The group drank tea for more than half an hour, and then Li Qi did not linger and led everyone away.

Only after they had left the building did Yan Zhengwen stammer, "Brother Qi, what's going on here?!"

As soon as the question was raised, the eyes of the others also turned to it, filled with boundless curiosity.

At this moment, Li Qi was no longer simply mysterious and unpredictable in their eyes, but they began to wonder if they were in a very deep dream.

"Nothing much. She and I are just acquaintances who have met a few times."

"If I had to explain why, it would probably be because she felt that I would be very strong in the future."

Li Qi responded that he was not deliberately hiding anything, but he also had no intention of telling people everything in detail.

There are very few people in this world nowadays who are worth his time and effort to resolve their doubts.

Often, people don't speak clearly, not because they can't, but simply because they think it's unnecessary.

In this world, usually only people of low status will go to great lengths to serve people of high status in order to gain their trust and recognition.

If Li Qi had said this before, they would have definitely thought he was joking. But now, given the current situation, they have to consider the veracity of his statement.

Within an hour of each other's passing, their thoughts and perceptions underwent a complete transformation.

And their already partially overturned impressions have now become completely unrecognizable.

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye. During these days, Li Qi's life remains regular. He practices swordsmanship in real life and slays seas in dungeons. His foundation is becoming more and more profound, and his will, spirit, sword intent, and combat awareness are also becoming stronger and stronger. What used to be his weakness has now not only been made up for, but is even showing a tendency to become his strongest point.

Life and death temper the fighting spirit; it is a great calamity, but also a great destiny and a great fortune.

In the past few days, Yan Zhengwen and Yan Songyue did not continue to ask for details, which meant that Li Qi did not want to say more.

However, they did not tell more people about what they had seen and heard that time. This was because they realized that Li Qi was not a flamboyant person, and if they talked about it everywhere, they would only annoy people for no reason.

Their emotional intelligence is not bad.

That very morning, a major earthquake struck the Yan family, causing an uproar in all the family chat groups.

The patriarch of the Yan family suddenly announced that he would convene a clan meeting to arrange his funeral and have all the clan members within four generations of Gu Cheng witness it.

The so-called "arranging affairs after death" is something any adult understands: it means dividing the family property in full view of everyone.

Regarding this matter, some members of the Yan family were happy while others were sad. Those who were happy were naturally thinking that they could benefit from it. These people were powerful and belonged to the core members of the family.

Those who are worried are the ordinary people of the tribe. It's good to have a big tree to lean on. Although they may not get all the great benefits, it can at least provide shelter from the wind and rain.

"The old man in the family was a formidable figure when he was young, but in the last thirty years, as he got older, his heart softened, leading to the current situation." "Indeed, many people in the family are not worth cultivating, but there are still capable people among us. However, most of these people have been ostracized, and the few remaining are struggling in the clan with no hope of advancement."

In the car, Li Qi's mother looked out the window and suddenly said something.

Although she has been bedridden for years, her intelligence is by no means lacking; it's just that truly intelligent people rarely reveal these things.

Putting aside other things, Li Qi's mother and his father met when they were studying in the capital. While martial arts are undoubtedly the most important thing in this world, literature can also rank second. In fact, high literary skill can be transformed into martial arts, with wisdom converting into power. It's just that in combat, it is not as good as martial arts.

There is no such thing as class balance in reality. Martial arts can become number one simply because it is the strongest.

"I don't know what the old master was thinking this time. Normally, there's no need to go to such lengths to let someone below take over. In ancient times, when emperors entrusted their sons to others, they would only summon a few important ministers."

"Although the old master is dying, he is far from being reduced to having no one he can use."

Li's mother's voice was calm and even.

"Xiao Qi, what do you think about this?!"

As she spoke, she suddenly turned her gaze to Li Qi.

At this moment, Li Si sat between the two of them. As for Li's father, he was not in the car. He did not have the blood of the Yan family. Li Qi looked out the window, where all kinds of scenery were reflected in the window, and he was very calm.

"It's just a desperate last stand by a dying man."

"The saying 'A dying man speaks good words' is just a lie. The more powerful a person is, the more vicious they become as they approach death. Otherwise, there would have been no witchcraft calamity during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han."

"If the old master succeeds in this endeavor, it may give the Yan family another thirty years of good fortune."

"It's just that the timing of this action was too late. It wasn't because he had figured things out and made up his mind, but because an external crisis forced him to make that decision."

"A decision made under these circumstances is bound to bring disaster."

"The timing is wrong, the location is not right, and the people are not right. All we can rely on is that vague and uncertain escape."

"This is a gamble on fate, a gamble on the destiny of the clan."

Li Qi responded.

"It seems that there will be considerable trouble ahead. Those who have already benefited will not give up their interests, and if the Yan family wants to survive, they must divide these people among themselves."

"The old man still has prestige, and these people will definitely not sit idly by and wait to die. It's just a matter of how far things will escalate."

"However, none of this has much to do with us. In fact, if it weren't for the family ties we still have, it would have been best if we hadn't gotten involved in this mess."

"But in this world, cause and effect are intertwined. Unless one extinguishes all emotions and desires, how can one truly remain uninvolved and unaffected by cause and effect..."

At this moment, Li's mother let out a long sigh.

She's not usually a talkative person, but she's only acting this way because of her overwhelming emotions.
