Li Youan waited a moment, and seeing that Dongfang Jinghong did not continue, he took over the conversation.

"Then, I can teach him a lesson for you first."

After saying that, Li Youan began to talk about his own story.

"My feud with him was nothing more than a few herbs."

"He was too greedy and disgusted, so I let the three of them wander around the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons for a whole night."

Li Youan laughed out loud when he thought about what he had done.

"I also... I disgusted them like that many times."

Finally, I left them with a difficult choice.

"The fact that they were able to restrain themselves and not rush over to fight me directly was really beyond my expectations."

Li Youan paused, took a sip of tea, and waited until Dongfang Jinghong stopped laughing before continuing.

"Actually, I don't care what they do."

"I'm worried about the orphanage; I'll be fine no matter what."

"But if I caused the director and the children to suffer injustice and harm, then that would be a sin."

Seeing Li Youan's complicated expression, Dongfang Jinghong offered words of comfort.

"I can invest in the welfare home in the name of the Dongfang family."

"Listen to me first."

Dongfang Jinghong saw that Li Youan wanted to speak, but did not let him speak.

"This is not a free act of charity."

"First of all, you can think of this as an investment, because I am optimistic about your future, and the elders have no problem with that."

"Secondly, we have a common enemy that we are very likely to have."

"Finally, since this matter hasn't been thoroughly investigated, it's not convenient for me to intervene, but it is for you to."

"You may have a grudge against him, but you're also helping me. This is your fee for your help."

Li Youan pondered for a moment, then gently shook his head and sighed softly.

"There seems to be no reason to refuse; it's perfectly logical."

Dongfang Jinghong narrowed his eyes upon hearing Li Youan's reply.

"A very wise choice."

"If you continue to refuse, then I'll really have to reconsider whether or not I should do this."

"But are you really not a member of a powerful family, or the closed-door disciple of a reclusive master?"

"You know, I've seen many sons raised by powerful families, and none of them are as good as you overall."

"I think you know my background better than I do."

Li Youan shrugged and offered no further explanation.

Although her predecessor left behind some memories, it was impossible for Li Youan to notice every piece of news.

Dongfang Jinghong stopped dwelling on this issue.

"Is there anything else you want? You can ask now."

"There's one more thing."

"But it has nothing to do with any of this now."

After thinking for a moment, Li Youan held up a finger and decided to ask the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

Why did you choose to ask me for help? Did I look very trustworthy?

"I knew you were going to ask, but I didn't expect you to hold it in until now."

You can understand it as, "I see you as a person of integrity, so I choose to believe you."

Li Youan looked at Dongfang Jinghong, who was covering her mouth and chuckling, and didn't ask any more questions.

Since the other person didn't want to talk about it, Li Youan couldn't figure out what was so special about himself.

Since it was worth all the effort Dongfang Jinghongfei had put into planning, he stopped worrying about this issue.

At least, I have an answer.

But some truths and innermost thoughts are revealed in a joking manner, just like Dongfang Jinghong now.

The reason she chose to ask Li Youan for help was because Dongfang Jinghong was born with the ability to judge a person's degree of good or evil towards her.

When Dongfang Jinghong saw Li Youan that day, he felt only a sense of security.

Li Youan chatted with Dongfang Jinghong for a few more minutes before taking his leave.

"Then, Miss Dongfang, that's enough for today. See you in the arena."

Li Youan got up and walked to the door. Just as her right hand was about to touch the door, she seemed to remember something and turned back to her previous position.

"Dongfang, I need some information about Pingyu. Please send it to me as soon as you find it. Thank you."

"It's very simple, and there's no need to thank me. Just collect some interest for me first. If it's ultimately confirmed to be him, I'll deal with him personally."

Dongfang Jinghong looked at his clenched right fist.

"Let's go, Xiaobai, we're heading back."

"Xiao Bai" is a name that Li Youan and Bai Ze came up with yesterday for when they are in front of outsiders.

Since we can't call Bai Ze by his full name, it's better to have a different title.

Bai Ze jumped onto Li Youan's shoulder and waved its claws at Dongfang Jinghong.

Li Youan bowed slightly in acknowledgment, then turned and left the tea room.

As Li Youan walked through the lobby on the first floor of the Oriental Treasure Pavilion again, his mood was completely different from when he first entered.

-----------------

Oriental Treasure Pavilion, the quiet room on the top floor.

"Aunt Zhou, what do you think of him?"

"A truly remarkable young man, among the top tier of his peers. Young master, you wouldn't happen to be...?"

Pavilion Master Zhou looked at Dongfang Jinghong.

"Well, I won't consider these matters of love and romance until I become the head of the family."

Dongfang Jinghong's eyes were firm, and he coldly toyed with the long sword in his hand.

The two looked out the window at Li Youan's departing figure.

You could vaguely see Li Youan teasing the little white beast on his shoulder from time to time.

-----------------

Li Youan stepped out of the main gate of Oriental Treasure Pavilion and merged into the crowd in the commercial district.

Looking at the bustling crowds on the street, most of them were demon hunters.

Some had just returned from outside the city, while others were preparing to leave the city for the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons.

There were also some demon hunters selling demon beast materials on the street.

Li Youan did not wander around the streets, but went straight back to her home in the community.

Instead of returning to the bedroom, Li Youan led Bai Ze directly to the rooftop.

Big Bear and Little Bear are still fast asleep in the tree hole.

Li Youan chose a comfortable spot and began to meditate and regulate her breathing.

After circulating the Basic Breathing Technique for several cycles, Li Ping'an heard familiar footsteps coming from the stairs.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Brother Qiang walking over, carrying some food in his hand.

"Oh, your son-in-law is back even earlier than me."

Qiang was somewhat surprised.

"Come back after you're done talking. We have important business to attend to tomorrow."

"And what's this 'ideal son-in-law' nonsense?"

"All I want to do right now is become stronger, stronger, stronger, and no one can stop me from becoming stronger."

Qiang shrugged.

"Whatever makes you happy, I've sent you the message."

"It's good to become stronger, but don't forget the people around you."

Li Youan was a little confused, but when he opened the terminal, he saw the message sent by Brother Qiang.

"Brother Qiang, you're amazing! I knew you were the one to go with."

"Well, using spirit stones to pave the way isn't exactly confidential information."

Qiang leaned closer and whispered mysteriously.

"Because as long as there is a tournament, betting will be opened, and many people will spontaneously collect information."

"opening?"

"Brother Qiang, you mean gambling?"

Brother Qiang shook his index finger.

"What is gambling? This is betting!"

"Charity gambling, a life of joy and kindness."

"Charity-driven gambling, a win-win future."

……

Seeing the slogans shouted by Brother Qiang, Li Youan was speechless.

"Don't get addicted."

Upon hearing Li Youan's words, Qiang Ge put his hands on his hips.

"Having witnessed so many families being torn apart, I never buy them."

"I gather intelligence from there and sell it for money."

"Safe, stable, risk-free, and extremely profitable."

Looking at Brother Qiang, who was laughing with his hands on his hips, Li Youan could only say...

"Stop attacking me with your dead memories."

Studying the information sent by Qiang Ge, Li Youan discovered that all the promising seed players had the cultivation level of the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

Moreover, there were more than twenty people in total, and not one of them was not a member of the family.

Cheng Xiao, the grandson of an elder of the Cheng family, is at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm and is skilled in the Cheng family's signature technique, "Fire Cloud Technique".

Feng Yue is an outstanding member of the younger generation of the Feng family. She is at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm and is skilled in the cultivation technique "Jade Flower Technique".

……

"Hey, Qiang-ge, where's Pingyu?"

"Of course..."
