Chapter 418: Chapter 418: The New Number One

“This place, it’s not very convenient.” As she said this, Zhu Xiaoyue’s captivating eyes roved, revealing a hint of seduction.
Li Xiaoyao nodded, “You can go house hunting these next few days. If you find one you like, just swipe the card.”
Zhu Xiaoyue saw through him imdiately and couldn’t help but laugh. Her gaze lowered to his lower body, teasingly asking, “After so long without a woman, can you hold back?”
“Who do you think I, Li Xiaoyao, am? Just a few days is nothing to ,” Li Xiaoyao would certainly not admit that he had just had a passionate encounter with Ye Qinglian.
Zhu Xiaoyue glanced at the living room and lowered her voice, “My room is empty tonight.”
...
Having said that, Zhu Xiaoyue turned and entered the living room, leaving behind a restless Li Xiaoyao who had been tantalized.
Late at night, as Li Xiaoyao was getting ready to sneak into Zhu Xiaoyue’s room, Cheng Dongliang’s call ca at the worst possible ti.
Just my luck, Li Xiaoyao wanted to hang up directly, but rembering the serious tone Cheng Dongliang had used earlier, he decided he should et him.
“I’ll be back soon.” With a transmission of thought to Zhu Xiaoyue, Li Xiaoyao took his phone out to the balcony.
“Where?”
“Age of Chaos.”
“Be right there.”
After hanging up, Li Xiaoyao leapt from the balcony, his figure swiftly rging with the darkness of the night.
Standing outside the Age of Chaos bar, Li Xiaoyao looked up at it.
After retiring from the rcenary world, Li Xiaoyao had wanted to live a quiet life in Ling City. This bar had been his starting point in the city, but looking back on those days, Li Xiaoyao realized how trivial his original dreams were.
Who would be content with an ordinary life when possessing the power to change the world?
Li Xiaoyao had always believed that if Heaven had granted him such power, it was certainly not ant for him to waste his life away.
Entering the bar, Li Xiaoyao had already located Cheng Dongliang through his intentions and made his way directly to him.
“What’s up? Out with it,” Li Xiaoyao sat down and, with a wave of his arm, a barrier of spiritual power isolated them from the noise of the bar.
Seeing this, Cheng Dongliang looked at him in surprise, “Do you know why Yun Feiyang is called the number one person in Ling City?”
“Isn’t it because his cultivation level is strong?”
“That’s only one aspect.” Cheng Dongliang pointed upwards, “It’s because he represents the cultivators of Ling City. The officials directly contact him for anything. So in a way, by representing the city’s cultivators, Yun Feiyang is acknowledged as the number one person.”
“Yun Feiyang has many connections in local governnt and is favored by many big shots. Now look at you, killing him without a second thought. Do you have any idea how many people you’ve offended indirectly by killing him?”
Li Xiaoyao’s eyebrows rose, “So what? A bunch of mortals, dares to be angry with ?”
“They wouldn’t dare to be angry with you. They’re not fools. If you can kill Yun Feiyang, it ans you’re far stronger than he was. A cultivator as powerful as you will always attract many who want to win you over.”
“Get to the point.”
“You really have no patience.” Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Cheng Dongliang said, “The reason I called you here today is actually to represent the officials and have a talk with you. They hope you can take Yun Feiyang’s place.”
Li Xiaoyao refused outright, “I don’t have the ti.”
“`

“Being in this position has more symbolic significance than anything else,” Cheng Dongliang said, “It won’t take up too much of your ti, I will contact you directly if there’s anything.”
After a few seconds of contemplation, Li Xiaoyao asked, “What do you need to do?”
“There is actually sothing I need you to do.” Cheng Dongliang smiled and said, “I hope you can gather all the cultivators in Ling City for a big eting.”
“To let them know I’m now the boss of Ling City? Is that what you an?”
“Yes, that’s exactly what I an.”
Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Li Xiaoyao said, “Alright, I’ve got it.”
“Anything else?”
“Rember to lead the team to the military district competition next weekend.”
Li Xiaoyao nodded and stood up, “Don’t worry, I rember.”
Upon leaving the bar, Li Xiaoyao didn’t imdiately fly ho. Instead, he walked slowly along the road, the recent events passing through his mind one by one.
Ever since the day Xiaoqing erged from the Spirit Stone Vein and turned the antique street into ruins, the Li Family seed to vanish overnight.
What Li Xiaoyao worried about the most was the Li Family’s retaliation. After all, he had killed Li Shisan and Xie Min, one a powerful Eighth Rank Spirit Cultivation Realm cultivator and the other a First Rank Golden Core Realm cultivator. And their positions within the Li Family were certainly not low; by killing them, Li Xiaoyao had without a doubt enraged the Li Family.
And the continual attempts on Li Xiaoyao’s life by the Li Family’s emissaries were within his expectations, but ever since the day Xiaoqing appeared, the Li Family mbers seed to have suddenly disappeared from the world.
Li Xiaoyao didn’t understand the situation within the Li Family and naturally did not know that Li Yiming was furious when he found out about Xie Nan’s covert assassination attempt on Li Xiaoyao and issued a death order to everyone, stating that anyone who dared to step half a foot outside the family ho before the Clan Leader’s return would be dealt with by family law.
And it was precisely because of Li Yiming’s order that the large Li Family had been transford into a prison overnight. Before the Clan Leader returned, no one dared to leave the Li Family easily.
Even the Clan Leader’s wife, Xie Nan, couldn’t defy this order.
The strict rules of the Li Family, which ranked among the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, surely wouldn’t allow a woman married into the Li Family to call the shots.
Xie Nan might have had a high status, but she didn’t have much actual say in the Li Family.
Li Yiming certainly knew what Xie Nan was plotting; she wished to have Li Xiaoyao killed before the Clan Leader’s return upon learning that he might be the Clan Leader’s son who had been missing for many years.
It didn’t matter whether Li Xiaoyao was the Clan Leader’s son or not, better to kill wrongly than to let him go.
Li Yiming wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen. On one hand, Li Xiaoyao could be the son of the Clan Leader and a mber of the Li family. On the other hand, Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation talent was enough for Li Yiming to take seriously.
Even if Li Xiaoyao had no relation to the Li Family, based on his cultivation talent alone, Li Yiming was inclined to recruit such a talented individual.
Upon returning ho, Li Xiaoyao sneaked into Zhu Xiaoyue’s room and thoroughly indulged with her in bed.
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Xiaoyao got up early and returned to the living room. He only opened his eyes after the won ca out, pretending he just finished cultivating in the living room all night.
After washing up, the won changed clothes. As the hosts of the charity foundation’s inauguration, they needed to be properly dressed to face the many entrepreneurs of Ling City.
As for Li Xiaoyao, he just needed to be present, since he didn’t want to be in the spotlight and reveal his identity.
