People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 540: Survival from Death
As for the mere passing down of knowledge from one person to another, Li Qi can no longer pay much attention to it.

With just a glance, Li Qi had grasped the essence of the human lineage that the two had learned and comprehended.

The snowball has rolled to this extent; it's like an office worker on Earth using minimalist mode.

However, he is already too strong, so even if he learns some of the essence of human physiognomy, it only slightly increases Li Qi's foundation. It is not as much as Li Qi's own gains from comprehending the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth in half an hour.

Although these two have some skills, they are still far from being able to take advantage of Li Qi's current situation.

After another ten minutes or so, as everyone arrived, the door slowly closed. The old master of the Yan family got up and went to a room in the back with Song Yuan and Song Ji.

"Have the two masters discerned which members of the Yan family could save our family from certain death?!"

The old man asked at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Song Yuan and Song Ji did not hesitate and immediately named a few people before leaving the Yan family's manor.

"Originally, we thought the Yan family was doomed this time. We never expected that this person would have half of the Yan family's blood. Although it is only half, not enough to bring prosperity to the family, it will not be a problem for him to survive this calamity."

"We miscalculated this time. We originally wanted to glean some insights into defying fate from this. Even if the Yan family failed, it wouldn't be a bad thing for us. But with this person's arrival, everything is doomed. This aura is truly terrifying!"

After leaving the manor, the two brothers talked.

They certainly couldn't possibly fail to recognize Li Qi; the destiny chart that Li Qi had revealed back then had given them quite a fright.

"However, the Yan family has some good fortune, but not enough. They simply cannot keep Li Qi. Once this ordeal is over, the karmic ties between the other party and the Yan family will be severed. Otherwise, the Yan family might really have a chance to rise to prominence."

"One of the people we just mentioned is Li Qi's maternal uncle. If the patriarch of the Yan family listens to us and lets this person take power, the Yan family still has a chance to rise from the ashes."

"But given Old Master Yan's personality, he would definitely hesitate on this matter. Even now, though he's past his prime, he's still wavering. He wants our help, but he doesn't dare to completely trust us..."

The two of them didn't take a car; they walked very fast and talked very fast as well.

"The order of these two actions is very important. If one does not know Li Qi's abilities and still appoints generals, then there is a certain degree of fate involved. Conversely, if one knows them and still does so, then it is a deliberate attempt to curry favor and make others look down on him."

……

Meanwhile, as the old man left, the hall became lively again, with many people gathering in circles, discussing the old man's intentions and purposes.

Some people, lacking knowledge and understanding, loudly proclaim regardless of the occasion how the old man will divide his estate; these are undoubtedly parasites.

Li Qi and his group were gathered in a corner at this time. Several uncles, several aunts, a group of cousins, and Li Qi's maternal grandfather were all there. Except for a few who did not live in Gucheng, the rest of their branch of the family who had developed locally came here.

When Li's mother saw Li Qi's maternal grandfather, she greeted him with a flat "Dad," neither warm nor polite. Li Qi's maternal grandfather simply responded with a "hmm."

Li Qi knew that his maternal grandfather was extremely opposed to his mother marrying his father. On the one hand, it was because of the distance from home, and on the other hand, his grandfather had arranged a marriage for his mother while she was away studying.

In Li Qi's maternal grandfather's generation, the patriarchal style was very strong. Moreover, as the direct descendant of a large family, he believed that it was only natural for parents to arrange everything for their children, and that any resistance was unfilial. In addition, Li Qi's maternal grandfather had three wives and more than ten children. The fact that he could marry so many wives already revealed their personalities, and with so many children, the family ties naturally became weaker.

Li Qi's maternal grandfather was naturally furious at his mother's lack of cooperation.

Of course, the most important reason is that Li Qi's father was useless. He was just an ordinary member of the Li family in Tiannan, and he himself was not ambitious. He taught at a school and just coasted along.

Therefore, when Li Qi's family came here before, they almost never met this maternal grandfather.

And if he treats his own daughter this way, he won't even give Li Qi and Li Si a second glance.

Of course, Li Qi and Li Si didn't care about this at all; neither of them had a good impression of this maternal grandfather.

Even if Li Qi now has a broad and inclusive mind, a bad impression is still a bad impression.

This is a case of "those who walk different paths cannot make plans together," and there is no such thing as tolerance, understanding, or forgiveness.

In a sense, Li Qi is still a long way from the legendary unity of all beings, but Li Qi's understanding of unity of all beings is by no means unconditional and all-encompassing.

Unconditional tolerance is the way of Heaven. The way of Heaven is impartial and unfeeling, so it always favors the virtuous.

However, he does not follow the path of Heaven, but instead seeks to transform into a demon god between Heaven and Man.

Li Qi's maternal uncle, on the other hand, was very close to Li's mother, as well as Li Qi and Li Si. As soon as he saw the three of them, he greeted them warmly and then pulled Li Si and Li Qi aside to chat about everyday things.

Li Qi's maternal uncle was very career-oriented, so he inevitably neglected his family. However, he was the kind of person who would do his best to help his brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces whenever they were in trouble. He was not the kind of person who would do anything to climb the social ladder.

However, in this world, there are always limits to how hard one can work. The old master of the Yan family was not tough enough, which caused huge problems in the operation of the Yan family, and even talented people could not get ahead.

Therefore, Li Qi's maternal uncle now looked tired and somewhat bewildered.

While the old man was alive, things were fine; some people didn't dare to go too far. But after the old man died, that was the beginning of great chaos.

His current position is awkward; he's stuck in a limbo, unable to move up or down, which is extremely difficult.

As for the doubts some people have about, that the old master intends to select a few virtuous and capable people to support the family business, he is not optimistic. If it were thirty years ago, he would believe that the old master would have had the courage to do so.

But now, even if he suddenly realizes his mistakes as death approaches, old habits die hard, and the inertia formed over the past thirty years is not so easy to overcome.

Even if the other party were to select people, they would definitely choose a few relatively talented individuals from among their closest associates, rather than truly appointing people based on merit.

The reason for bringing so many people was partly due to hesitation, and partly simply to put on a show for others; these peripheral members would definitely not be allocated key positions.
