My Arrogant Young Lady

"..." Even An Yao felt a little embarrassed after hearing Zhang Shixue's words.

Although I always shamelessly say I'm handsome, and my brothers and friends like An Yao and Wang Che often tease me about it, I know that if I said I wasn't handsome, that would be the biggest lie of all.

I am very good-looking, and I have an outstanding temperament. In terms of money and influence, I am among the top in the world today.

I never imagined that being too good-looking, having an excellent temperament, and coming from a wealthy and powerful family could also lead to being looked down upon. It was precisely because I wasn't an ordinary person that Zhang Shixue's father vehemently opposed her liking me. He even personally spoke with me, begging me to say something harsh to make Zhang Shixue dislike me.

Even now, many girls are still pursuing me relentlessly because I'm rich. But Zhang Shixue's father thinks I have too much money and hopes I can stay away from Zhang Shixue.

Damn it. It's wrong to be poor, and it's wrong to be rich. What kind of world is this?

When Zhang Shixue's father saw that I didn't speak, he said to me again, "Wang Xi, I know everything about your family. Your father is a warlord, the head of a super family, and the emperor of the Golden Triangle. Even if your family fights with a mysterious force like Aurora, and your family chooses to retreat, while you infiltrate Aurora, you are still a high-ranking member of Aurora and are now the ruler of this northern underworld."

“But our Zhang family is really not good enough for you. I only beg you to be merciful and let my Zhang Shixue go. I don’t expect my Zhang Shixue to find a great partner, as long as he has a job. I think Li Qiuzhe, who is pursuing Shixue, is quite good. He is down-to-earth and hardworking, and now he has been admitted to the police academy. When he graduates, he will be a policeman. But your background is far from what I expect. I hope my Shixue can find a decent person, not a young master from a gangster family like you.” Zhang Shixue’s father looked at me seriously.

"I understand, I'll explain it to Zhang Shixue," I said.

“Can we go see her now? She’s at home,” Zhang Shixue’s father said to me.

"Okay." I nodded slightly, still reeking of alcohol.

“You’ve been drinking and shouldn’t be driving, so I drove here,” Zhang Shixue said, pointing to a Honda CRV outside.

"Okay." I nodded gently, feeling a little sad at the thought of hurting Zhang Shixue's feelings. But if it was for her own good, I was willing to do it.

However, just as Zhang Shixue's father and I stepped out of the hotel, a Cadillac SUV pulled up in front of us. Five tall young men immediately got out: one Asian and four Europeans. The Asian man in the lead saw me, his eyes lit up, and he immediately came over and warmly shook my hand, saying, "Your Highness Wang Xi, you've done a fantastic job. You've successfully dismantled Oda Seiji's henchmen in China. We now have a great plan and would like to invite you over to discuss it. The bigwigs of your Chinese Divine Group and the police are waiting for you. Please come with us."

"I have something to do, let's talk later." Hearing my words, I couldn't help but frown.

"What is it? Something more important than saving the world?" the leading Asian man asked in surprise after hearing my words.

“There’s a girl who likes me, and she even got sick because of me. I want to talk to her,” I said, frowning.

"What? You're actually going to keep your bigwigs in the Chinese police force waiting for so long because of an ordinary girl?" The Asian man was even more surprised.

"Okay." I nodded gently, then looked at Zhang Shixue's father and said, "Uncle, let's get in the car."

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Zhang Shixue's father and I were about to get into the car, the Asian man immediately called out to Zhang Shixue's father. He then showed his identification, looked at him seriously, and said, "Hello, we are Interpol officers. We have important matters to discuss with the Crown Prince. Could you postpone your business?"

"Wesley, what are you doing?!" Seeing that the Asian man was trying to interfere with what I was doing, I frowned even more, showing my displeasure.

"Okay, you guys go ahead with your work!" Zhang Shixue's father suddenly said.

"What?" I was a little stunned after hearing Zhang Shixue's father's words.

“Since there’s such a momentous matter as saving the world, let’s not let my Shixue delay things. My Shixue can wait, ten years, twenty years…” At that moment, Zhang Shixue’s father’s gaze towards me changed, becoming filled with indescribable admiration…

Chapter 322 Bifang

"Brother, congratulations on winning the heart of another beauty. And not only her heart, but also her father's." In the car, An Yao's eyes were cold and her tone was sour.

"Stop mocking me..." Thinking about Zhang Shixue's father's sudden change in attitude, I looked somewhat annoyed.

Young Master Bao was driving, and he'd had quite a bit to drink, so he was driving a bit unsteadily. The passengers were me, An Yao, Hei Long, and Wang Huan. Seeing how much Young Master Bao had drunk, Wang Huan secretly did a divination for himself.

"Not bad, no bloodshed today."

Led by Wesley and his group, we followed their car for about half an hour. When their car stopped in front of a guesthouse, our car quickly pulled up nearby.

I got out of the car. Wesley immediately walked up to me warmly and said, “Mr. Wang Xi, we apologize for our intrusion; we shouldn’t have asked your friend’s father for your private time. But Oda Seiji’s matter is really important. His existence has already begun to threaten the entire world. Currently, he has already taken over several major forces in Africa. He has begun to secretly develop an army. If we cannot take him down as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

"I understand. Let's go inside and talk." I said, rubbing my slightly aching temples, still smelling strongly of alcohol.

Wesley and I went straight into the guesthouse, and then we went to a conference room on the second floor. When I entered the conference room, I saw that a group of men in police uniforms were already waiting for me.

Just one glance at the flowers on these men's shoulders told me how high their positions were. Seeing me arrive, one man's eyes immediately gleamed. He walked over to me, shook my hand, and said, "Mr. Wang Xi, you've finally arrived."

"Yes." I shook his hand tightly and nodded gently.

"Please sit down," the man said.

"Okay." I took a deep breath and casually found a chair to sit down.

The door was quickly closed, and the light in the room dimmed rapidly. Then, a young woman opened the slideshow in the conference room, which soon displayed a photo of a middle-aged man.

"Oda Seiji, male, forty-nine years old. Former heir of the Oda family, leader of the Black Dragon Society. A Golden Core level expert with the ability to be immortal. His goal is to rule the world, and he has already taken over the power of several countries..." After giving us a brief introduction, the young woman looked at me.

"Mm." Seeing the young woman looking at me intently, I nodded slightly.

"Wang Xi, you've done a great job dismantling the major forces in the north. Because Oda Seiji has taken over these forces, big and small, the case has become very complicated, shrouded in mystery, and made our investigation much more difficult. You're excellent, worthy of being your father's son." With a snap, a young man lit a cigarette, and a thin wisp of smoke gradually filled the conference room.

"Who is he?" I glanced at the young man and asked An Yao in a low voice.

“He is Liuli’s master, a disciple of Qingxu Daoist of the Wudang Sect, a top-level expert at the Heartbeat level, Li Xiaoyao,” An Yao said coldly.

"Is that Li Xiaoyao? Isn't he over forty? He looks so young." I glanced at the man in surprise, somewhat astonished.

"The concept of cultivating immortality was proposed by him. In terms of talent, he is the most talented master in the world besides Wang Yu and Liuli. When our father was still a god-level master, he was already a master above the gods. He was also the first to realize that after we became masters above the gods, our realm could be even higher. It was his theory that made today's masters a realm higher than those of more than ten years ago. His existence is also a symbol of the current rise and resurgence of martial arts," An Yao said.

"Yes, I was the first to discover the term 'cultivation of immortality.' But humans can't become immortals. Our current path of cultivation is merely the cultivation of truth. I was too young back then, and as soon as I discovered this secret, I couldn't help but tell everyone and show it off. Now, Oda Seiji's scourge on the world can be considered indirectly caused by me. I forgot that the Dao cannot be easily passed on." The man's ears were very sharp, and after hearing An Yao's words, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"The Way cannot be easily passed on?" I frowned slightly.

"Yes, to attain enlightenment, besides possessing exceptional talent, certain opportunities and diligent effort are also essential. My theory of cultivation has elevated all masters to a higher level compared to a decade or so ago. A decade or so ago, only Shaolin, Wudang, the Murong family of Jiangnan, your ancient royal Ye family of the North, and a few other sects could be considered true masters. But now, martial arts masters are becoming increasingly worthless, even the lofty god-level masters are becoming commonplace. Especially after Oda Seiji mastered this secret, he went from a lower-level fusion master to the peak of the Golden Core level in just over a decade. Furthermore, using the genes of the strong, he has replicated a large number of god-level masters and masters above the gods. What I worry about most now is that Oda Seiji's martial arts will advance even further. If his martial arts can advance further, even airplanes and cannons will probably be helpless against him." The man sighed.

"Martial arts? Can it be improved further?" Surprised, I couldn't help but light a cigarette.

My father once told me that the Golden Core level is already the limit of human potential. If Oda Seiji's martial arts were to advance further, wouldn't he become an immortal?

“That’s right, it’s about cultivating immortality. He’s about to embark on the true path of cultivation.” The man seemed to have guessed what I was thinking.

"What is an immortal? An immortal is a god who possesses an immortal body, can travel a thousand miles a day, summon wind and rain, and is revered by thousands. Above the Golden Core level is the Nascent Soul level. A Golden Core level expert is no different from an immortal. Their physical strength can be trained to the point that they are impervious to sword cuts and arrow wounds. A Nascent Soul level expert can even use their primordial spirit to leave their body and kill people in their sleep. We will not allow such an expert to appear in this world. We will not allow such an expert to appear in the whole world."

"Our plan this time is called the Strongest Recycling Plan. When the power of the strong falls into the hands of a kind person, it can benefit the people. But when the power of the strong falls into the hands of an evil person, it will surely be a great disaster. Oda Seiji is not a god; he is only a demon king. You are smart. You did not fight the enemy when all hope was lost, but instead preserved your strength and hid in the aurora. Your current identity is exactly what we need. Moreover, you have already taken the first step to success, eliminating the various forces, large and small, that Oda Seiji has subdued."

"As for your future development, we already know from a radio intercepted just now. Takeda Hell has recommended you to Oda Seiji, suggesting you be the new garrison commander of Mingzhu City in Jiangnan Province. The original garrison commander of Mingzhu City, Qinglong, will lead Oda Seiji's elite force to Europe. In Mingzhu City, your opponents will be Wang Yuebai and his son Wang Huan, the leaders of the Jiangnan martial arts alliance. They have already been defeated by you. Dealing with them shouldn't be difficult for you. What you need to do is eliminate Oda Seiji's various forces, large and small, throughout the country. After you've eliminated Oda Seiji's forces nationwide, our Divine Group will handle everything afterward. We will issue nationwide warrants for every member of Aurora, ensuring Aurora has nowhere to escape." The man finished speaking and extinguished his cigarette.

“Your Wang family also wields considerable influence overseas. We have already made contact with your Wang family, and your mother will send people to help us eliminate Oda Seiji’s overseas influence. Once we have eliminated Oda Seiji’s overseas influence, we will cooperate with the foreign police to wipe out Oda Seiji’s subordinates in one fell swoop,” Wesley said.

"I'll think about it," I said after listening to their words.

"What!? This is a matter of saving the whole world! Such a glorious and great mission, and you actually want to think about it?" Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but widen his eyes.

After the man and Wesley finished speaking to me, everyone in the conference room watched me silently. At this moment, to make it easier for me to work for them, Wesley had already given me the identity of an Interpol agent. And now, the bigwig of the Divine Group and the police force, Li Xiaoyao, had personally approached me; in their eyes, this was an unparalleled honor.

They assumed I would definitely agree, that I wouldn't even have the chance to refuse. But when they heard me say I needed to think about it, everyone stared at me wide-eyed.

Especially one young woman from the Divine Group, who had been watching me curiously ever since I entered. She thought I was too young to warrant Li Xiaoyao and the Divine Group coming to me. As for the statement about the Wang family destroying the Oda clan, that sounded utterly absurd to her. The Wang family might be powerful, but could they possibly compare to her Divine Group?

But when she heard me say I needed to think about it, the young woman's expression immediately changed. In a panic, she blurted out, "Wang Xi, it's rare for my master to trust you so much, entrusting you with such an important task. And you're saying you need to think about it? What do you mean?"

"Who are you?" I looked at the young woman in surprise when she actually spoke to me.

"I am Bifang, the deputy leader of the God Group," the young woman said proudly.

After listening to the young woman's words, I couldn't help but glance at her again. I noticed that she had a beautiful figure and delicate features. She exuded a dignified and upright aura, and her status as a high-level expert made her even more distinguished. If I were to give her a score, I would give her a nine out of ten.

As I gazed at the young woman, her expression grew even more arrogant. I even felt a pang of disgust.

I thought he was different from ordinary people, but it turns out he's just a lecherous man.

"Hehe, I've long heard that the members of the God Group are all prodigies, exceptionally talented experts. And the experts in the God Group all use the names of great gods as code names. Seeing them today, I can see they are indeed extraordinary." I smiled.

"You know that much." Hearing my words, the young woman became even more proud.

"But what right do you have to talk to me? Get out!" I suddenly got angry and slammed my hand heavily on the table.

Chapter 323 The Current Situation of the Eldest Brother

My sudden outburst of anger startled the group of bigwigs and Wesley and his men in the room. The young woman, in particular, was so shocked by the fury on my face that she was speechless for a long time.

She, Bi Fang, is twenty-two years old and a student at a prestigious university. Because of her prominent family background, she has a close relationship with Li Xiaoyao and has been apprenticed to this important figure since childhood.

Her achievements today have nothing to do with her family background. They are the result of her innate intelligence, hard work, and dedication.

At the age of twenty-two, he joined the country's top department, serving as the deputy leader of the God Group, surpassing all other god-level experts in the group. He was second only to the group leader, Chi You.

A girl like this can already be described as an outstanding individual.

Not only does she possess outstanding talent, but her exquisite beauty has also captivated many scions of wealthy families. Even while still in school, she was a recognized campus belle. She was even photographed by online reporters and selected as one of the fifty most beautiful campus belles from various universities.

At home, she was the apple of her parents' eye. At work, she was the object of everyone's care. Because of her, the threshold of the "God Group" was practically worn down by people walking all over it. Every day, there were bouquets of flowers in the office, and at the end of the day, several luxury cars were always parked at the door.

And I, incredibly, flew into a rage because of her impulsive interruption, slamming my fist on the table and telling her to get out in front of Li Xiaoyao, a group of big shots, and Interpol agents like Wesley.

At that moment, Bifang couldn't hold back her tears. She had never experienced such treatment before. She remained silent, biting her lip and looking at me with tears in her eyes. If someone had offered her a few words of comfort, she probably would have burst into tears immediately.

What's even more infuriating is that while the room full of big shots were in shock, Black Dragon and Young Master Bao beside me also seemed quite surprised. However, Wang Huan, standing next to me, wore a half-smile. An Yao coldly scoffed, "A mere deputy leader of the God Group certainly has no right to speak to my brother."

"What did you say...?" Bi Fang's voice trembled as she barely managed to hold back her tears.

Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but smile bitterly at this moment. He knew his disciple very well. Growing up in a pampered environment, spoiled by his parents and loved by countless people, he could have been just a pretty face, but he insisted on joining the God Group to become a master. He certainly had talent, and his arrogance was inevitable.

But compared to the heir of the royal family, she had clearly run into a brick wall. Experiencing some setbacks is good, lest she become arrogant because her life has been too smooth.

Li Xiaoyao chuckled and said to me, "Wang Xi, I wonder what kind of trouble you're referring to? Now that you're with Interpol, it's fine if you don't join our little God Group. If you'd like to have a nominal position in our God Group, that's fine too. But if you want some treasures, forget it. We're all fair and honest people. Apart from gifts between friends, even if we get treasures, we hand them all over to the state. We're not as wealthy as Interpol. We can only do our best to help you with some of your living difficulties."

I'd heard long ago that Li Xiaoyao was shrewd; of my old comrades, he's the most successful now. He saw right through my little scheme.

Slightly disappointed, I asked An Yao next to me, "Little sister, do you want to join the God Group?"

"Forget it, the Divine Group is indeed as Li Xiaoyao said. Apart from some help with daily life, there's nothing else they can do to help us," An Yao told me.

"Yes, in terms of money, your Wang family is already richer than a country. In terms of power, you are one of the top powers in the world. Any treasure that your Wang family casually produces is enough for me, Li Xiaoyao, to admire for a long time. And now that you have obtained more than 30 billion, please stop making things difficult for our God Group. Our God Group is poor and needs your help, you great god of wealth." Li Xiaoyao smiled wryly.

“Alright then, you only need to do one thing for me. My uncle was attacked by people from Aurora and is seriously injured and missing. You need to find him and protect him. Your God Group should be able to handle this small matter, right?” I asked.

"We'll give you an answer within three days," Li Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"Okay. Thank you." I stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xiaoyao. This bow was a sincere expression of gratitude from a junior to a senior, and also a sincere thank you for helping me find my uncle.

"The Wang family children are actually very polite. It's just that they take after their father and are sometimes a bit arrogant. However, this arrogance is endearing." Watching my departing figure, a smile gradually appeared on Li Xiaoyao's face.

“Master, I don’t understand why you’re so lenient with Wang Xi. He’s just a twenty-year-old kid. Does he really have the ability to save the world?” Bi Fang said indignantly after I left.

“Bifang, you don’t understand. The saying ‘Those who destroy the Oda clan will be the king’ isn’t just a simple statement. Xi’er is a foreigner, and our Divine Group isn’t qualified to ask him to do anything. The fact that he’s willing to help our Divine Group solve its difficulties is already quite good. I heard that his uncle has fled into the reed marshes of Jincheng. The terrain there is complex, and ordinary people who go in never return. You have three days to go and take care of it. Find his uncle, and then go to Xi’er’s side to assist him,” Li Xiaoyao said.

"I... I still have to go and assist him?" Bi Fang asked in surprise.

“Yes. And you mustn’t make him angry. Otherwise, if he sends you back, I’ll hold you accountable,” Li Xiaoyao said.

"Takeda Hell has recommended me to Oda Seiji, wanting me to be the guardian of Pearl City in Jiangnan. I probably won't have many days left here, so I need to get everything sorted out quickly." Back home, I said this to An Yao, Wang Huan, Heilong, and Young Master Bao.

“Brother, if the Divine Group can help us find your uncle, it will solve a problem for us. After all, our identities are special, and it's not convenient for us to search for your uncle in a high-profile manner right now. It just so happens that we have discovered some characteristics of this Fire. Jiangnan Province is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. Besides the Greater Khingan Mountains in the north, there are also many places where spiritual energy gathers in Jiangnan. When we get to Jiangnan, we can ask Fire to help us find some better places where spiritual energy gathers,” An Yao said.
