Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

Including Bai Ze, the three people and one beast all looked at Li Youan curiously, wanting to hear his explanation.

Li Youan recalled her first meeting with Pingyu in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons.

"At that time, he not only told me about my background, but also mentioned your name."

"If you didn't report my situation to the family, then the only ones who leaked the information could be the two of you who were with me at the time."

Upon hearing Li Youan's words, Chen Yang and Feng Hui both recalled who was around them at the time.

"Of course, he may have other sources of acquisition, which is beyond my knowledge."

"But based on the reality, it should be as I speculate."

Feng Hui thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Anyway, I still want to thank my junior."

"We did feel that the Taira clan reacted very quickly in many of their previous actions, which led us to suspect that there was an inside traitor."

"But we couldn't find out until now. Now that we have a general direction, it's much simpler."

Feng Hui and Chen Yang picked up their teacups and bowed slightly to Li Youan.

"I won't say anything more; it's all in the tea."

Chen Yang and Feng Hui began to think about who might be the mole, while Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong teased Bai Ze.

As time passed, just as only Bai Ze's voice remained in the room, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

"The ingredients for these dishes are at least level nine demonic beasts in the Body Tempering Realm."

The waiter explained the ingredients, preparation methods, and main effects of each dish.

When Bai Ze saw that the dishes were being served, he stopped staying in Dongfang Jinghong's arms and sat down at the table.

The waiter was very perceptive and prepared another set of tableware for Bai Ze.

Although Bai Ze can't be used, at least it's there.

Bai Ze sat between Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong, occasionally raising its paw to point at this dish or that dish.

Dongfang Jinghong and the other man weren't bothered at all, and casually helped Bai Ze pick up some food.

With the business concluded, the group began chatting, mainly Li Youan and his two companions.

Dongfang Jinghong only occasionally chimed in with a word; most of the time, she was teasing Bai Ze while helping him pick up meat.

"Little Bai, do you want to come home with your sister? You can eat all these delicious foods every day."

Seeing that Bai Ze was very greedy, Dongfang Jinghong began to tempt him again.

Although Bai Ze had a fish in his mouth, he still shook his head when he heard Dongfang Jinghong's words.

Seeing that he had failed to seduce Bai Ze, Dongfang Jinghong didn't mind and picked out another fish for Bai Ze before eating it himself.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and toasts, the four of them soon finished eating and drinking.

There wasn't much to talk about, so Li Youan, as the person who connected them, took the initiative to speak.

Let's call it a day, and get together again sometime.

Seeing that no one objected, Li Youan stood up on his own initiative.

The four stood on the street in front of the Biyue Pavilion, saying their final goodbyes.

"Junior, then we'll meet again someday."

As Feng Hui looked at Li Youan in front of him, he spoke of the orphanage before parting.

"With Master Ouyang handling things at the orphanage, there's no need to worry about anything major."

"But after all, the Feng and Chen families are small local powers. If you need any help, just let us know."

"Thank you very much, senior. If Pingyu has any news, we will contact you anytime."

Watching Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong walk away, Chen Yang spoke.

"This junior has really grown up too fast. Now there are almost no people at the front-line base who don't know the two of them."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have offered more help when we first met."

Feng Hui shook his head.

"Brother Chen, no, it's just right now. Doing anything more back then would have been too deliberate."

"Let's wait and see. At the very least, the Taira clan won't have peace from now on."

Thinking about what the Heike family would face next, Feng Hui couldn't help but laugh out loud.

If he knew that Dongfang Jinghong was also going to take down the Ping family, he would probably laugh out loud in the street.

After saying that, Feng Hui stopped looking in the direction Li Youan had left and turned to walk to the other side of the street.

"Brother Chen, let's go. You have an appointment with Feng Zi tonight, don't be late."

Looking at Li Youan, who was walking unsteadily with her hands behind her head.

Dongfang Jinghong was somewhat puzzled, but hadn't yet figured out how to bring it up.

"We've known each other for a while now, so just say what you want to say, Dongfang."

Li Youan asked Dongfang Jinghong in a casual tone.

How did you know I had something to ask you?

Upon hearing Li Youan's words, Dongfang Jinghong no longer hesitated and spoke directly.

"I feel like you're not a child from an orphanage at all. You're so tactful and have such outstanding insight."

Li Youan really wanted to say that she had experienced too much as a corporate slave in her previous life.

Although it's just an ordinary world without supernatural powers, the complexities of the human heart are just as great.

But when Li Youan opened his mouth, it became...

"Children who grow up in orphanages are bound to be more cunning. They're all children, some older and some younger, so it's natural for them to form cliques and small groups."

"If you don't have a sense of propriety and are isolated, life in the welfare home is difficult and depressing."

"The dean and teachers simply can't take care of every child."

"In addition, I enjoy reading in my spare time, so I naturally know a lot. Now I'm just applying what I've read."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinghong recalled her experiences over the years.

If I hadn't been exposed to various situations by my elders, I wouldn't have this level of discernment now.

However, he was still ambushed in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons.

But Li Youan has grown up to be this great simply by reading books and playing around with the children in the orphanage.

"There are so many children in the orphanage, but you're the only one who came out. So you really are very different from ordinary people."

Li Youan inwardly curled his lip upon hearing Dongfang Jinghong's evaluation.

That's different, of course. I'm not even from this world.

"Ah, perhaps it's because I have a special talent."

Li Youan didn't want to continue this topic, so she took the initiative to speak.

"Speaking of which, you're the strangest one, Miss."

Dongfang Jinghong was somewhat puzzled. "What's strange about me?"

"Of course..."

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

Pingjia Villa.

The butler had already woken up, while Pingyu was wrapped up like a dumpling and lying on the bed.

The butler was stabbed in the abdomen by Li Youan and fainted in his anxiety.

For someone of his strength, this wasn't a serious injury. So, after taking the pill, he quickly regained consciousness.

Looking at Pingyu lying on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling, the butler wanted to say something.

But considering his position, the butler chose to swallow it.

With a deep sigh, the butler stopped thinking about it and spoke to Pingyu, who was in a daze.

"Young Master, the old patriarch says you've woken up and wants to make a phone call."

Although Pingyu didn't react much, the old butler didn't care.

As the old butler performed a series of actions, a phantom image appeared on the open ground in front of the bed.

As the illusory figure turned around, its appearance bore a striking resemblance to Ping Yu on the bed.

This also explains why Pingyu, who was such a spoiled brat, was always favored by the old patriarch.

The only difference was that, compared to Pingyu, his face was more rugged and aged.

The sinister look in his eyes was far more intense than that in Pingyu's.

Upon seeing the old man, Pingyu's dazed eyes instantly brightened.

"Grandpa, you have to stand up for me! That little brat, he's gone too far! I need to..."

"Shut up!"

Before Pingyu could say more, the old man shouted.

"Idiot, haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"

"You dare to say anything out loud. If the Hei family is gone, it will all be because of your unbridled, foul mouth."

"As expected, the choice we made back then was the right one. You're nothing compared to your brother."

Upon hearing this, Pingyu wanted to say something, but seeing the old man's sinister eyes, he opened his mouth but didn't dare to speak.

"You still want to touch him? That brat, now, we not only can't touch him, we have to protect him."

"Now, if anything happens to him, the first family to be suspected is the Taira clan."

"Do you know how many eyes are on us and this kid right now?"

"How many more families want to replace us?!"

"If even the slightest mistake occurs, all the families will turn against us."

"I thought you were the most like me, but now it seems you only look like me, not like me at all in terms of personality and ability."

"All show and no substance."

But looking at Pingyu, who was lying paralyzed on the bed, wrapped up with only his eyes showing, he was a sight to behold.

The old man sighed again.

"Oh well, never mind."

"I originally gave you the Bloodlust Pill because I was worried you might encounter some trouble in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest."

"Who would have thought you'd use that in such a small tournament?"

"That's it, that's it."

The old man seemed to have given up on something, and his spirits seemed to have dissipated considerably.

The old man stopped looking at Pingyu and instead looked at the butler beside him.

"Ah Fu, you've followed me for so many years, what are your thoughts now?"

The steward pondered for a moment, then looked up at the old master.

"Master, I believe there is only one thing that is most important to us right now."

"Take care of the punishment hall and the series of investigations that may be launched regarding the welfare home."

"That area poses the greatest risk; what we've done must absolutely not be discovered."

"Our donations and support to the welfare home should not only not be reduced, but should be increased, and those things can not be done for the time being."

After a slight pause, the old butler organized his thoughts and continued.

"As for that kid, just like you said, patriarch, we not only cannot harm him, but at least not openly."

"I even think we should help him build momentum."

"Uncle Fu, what did you say?"

Pingyu, who was lying in the hospital bed, was even more surprised when he heard the old housekeeper's words and interrupted him.

"Shut up, is it your turn to speak?"

The old man spoke up and scolded him.

After scolding him, he continued to look at the old butler.

"Go on, Afu."

"He's performing exceptionally well, so let's use all our connections to send him to the front-line outpost."

"Let him fight against all kinds of demonic beasts. There, the survival rate for those in the Body Tempering Realm, and even the Origin Opening Realm, is less than half."

"If we just send him there, we won't even need to use any other means; he'll have a very hard time coming back alive."

"He doesn't have any family support. Although the Enforcement Hall selects team members, it doesn't provide any follow-up assistance."

"Once we reach the outpost, without the support of his family, once the storm has passed, wouldn't it be easy for us to do something?"

"Although it seems like he has won now, we will ultimately win."

"As for other opinions, as long as time goes by, other new things will naturally attract public attention."

"No one will pay attention to the previous hot topics anymore. And a dead genius is not a genius, just expendable material."

"Haha, not bad, not bad at all, Afu, as expected of the person who has been with me the longest."

The old man stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

If Li Youan knew the solution they had come up with, he would definitely be overjoyed and personally buy nutritional supplements to visit Pingyu.

Li Youan needs to hunt down monsters and accumulate their essence.

Sending Li Youan to the front lines would fulfill his wish.

So who has won so far?

Win-win.

If you win.

We'll probably only know who won when the Taira clan is destroyed.
