Li Xiaoyao sat quietly in his room until the sound of knocking roused him, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Co in."
"Creak."
Li Tu poked half his body into the room, glanced around, saw Li Xiaoyao ditating, and smiled, "Brother, it’s ti to eat."
"No need, I’m not hungry."
"Brother, don’t make this hard for , the Family Head sent to invite you," Li Tu said with a troubled look.
"Then let’s go." Li Xiaoyao had no intention of mingling more with the Li Family mbers, whether he was one of them or not, and he had no plans to get involved in Li Family affairs.
Within such a vast family, the power struggles were undoubtedly complex, and with that energy, he might as well spend it on cultivation.
In this world, the most capable of making money were definitely Cultivators. And among Cultivators, Alchemists, Artifact Refiners and Array Masters were the professions that could earn the most.
Coincidentally, Li Xiaoyao happened to be skilled in all three fields.
So, if he wanted to make money, the pace would be absolutely terrifying. Most importantly, he would be earning from other Cultivators. Just refining a Third Grade Pill dicine could fetch a price in the billions, and there would certainly be buyers.
Therefore, the wealth of the mortal world didn’t hold much allure for Li Xiaoyao. Nevertheless, Li Xiaoyao continued to make money, but he did so only to support the charitable causes of a few won, making them even more substantial. He had a dream that one day there would be no poverty in the world.
This dream was grand and sowhat foolish. But when he thought of his own childhood experiences, Li Xiaoyao felt that no matter how difficult it was, it was worth a try.
This was not just about charity, it was about accumulating good deeds and virtues.
Ever since he stepped onto the path of cultivation, Li Xiaoyao had a vague sense that everything in the world was subject to cause and effect. The good deeds done today would surely bring blessings in the future.
"At tonight’s banquet, all the internal and external elders in the family, as well as direct clan mbers, will attend."
Li Tu kept explaining to Li Xiaoyao.
"The Clan Leader has already sent soone to investigate the foreigner on the plane. I just saw the Clan Leader seed quite angry. Even though the person behind it might be Xie Nan, it’s likely they won’t escape the bla," Li Tu said.
Li Xiaoyao interrupted him, "Tell about Xie Nan."
After a few seconds of hesitation, Li Tu said, "Xie Nan is the youngest daughter of the Xie Family, who married into the Li Family twenty-seven years ago. However, I heard that the marriage back then seed to be an alliance between the Li and Xie families."
"Xie Nan has a son nad Li Pengcheng, who has an amazing talent for cultivation."
As Li Tu continued explaining to Li Xiaoyao along the way, they arrived at the Li Family dining hall, and by then, Li Xiaoyao had gained a general understanding of Xie Nan.
In just over twenty years since this woman ca to the Li Family, she had built her own significant power within this colossal family. Such skill and patience were indeed admirable.
The dining hall was over a thousand square ters in size, decorated with classical elegance. A giant round table sat in the middle that could accommodate over forty people, and at this mont, there were only two vacant seats at the table, reserved for Li Xiaoyao and Li Tu.
As soon as Li Xiaoyao appeared, the gaze of over forty people at the table converged on him.
"Is that Li Xiaoyao?"
"He looks so young, he doesn’t seem like he’s twenty-eight."
"He really does resemble the Family Head. Perhaps he really could be the Family Head’s seed."
"Wasn’t it said that this youngster had killed Li Shisan? Why do I sense that his aura is rely at the beginning stage of Qi Cultivation?"
"His cultivation level is very weak; he probably killed Li Shisan using so kind of magical treasure."
"It’s said that this youngster had a fortuitous encounter in the tomb of Elder Li Changfeng; he likely obtained the treasure there."
"Treasures go to those who are capable; he’s just a re Qi Cultivation realm practitioner. What virtues or abilities does he have? Later, we should still bring this matter up and have him hand over the treasure."
Listening to the extrely faint murmuring, Li Xiaoyao did not care and followed Li Tu to an empty seat at the round table, sitting down with an expressionless face.
As for those not-so-friendly gazes, Li Xiaoyao was not afraid in the least, eting them one by one.
Those people, when their eyes t Li Xiaoyao’s, couldn’t help but change their facial expressions. They had an illusion in their minds. When their eyes touched Li Xiaoyao’s, it was as if they faced an unsurpassed expert, and his eyes made them tremble and feel fear in their hearts.
How is it possible? His re gaze is making tremble; it must be an illusion.
Li Xiaoyao had only casually glanced at the others, but his imnse spiritual power made even such a casual glance enough to instill fear in them.
When his gaze fell upon a young man’s face, he couldn’t help but montarily pause.
This man, bearing so resemblance to Li Chengfeng, had delicate facial features, and in his eyes looking towards Li Xiaoyao, there was a trace of disdain and chilliness.
"Li Pengcheng?" Li Xiaoyao inwardly sneered lightly; this man was probably the son of Li Chengfeng.
Their eyes t in the air, and Li Pengcheng’s lips curved up in a slight, indifferent arc.

Li Xiaoyao’s gaze moved away and continued to sweep around, finally resting on the face of a woman beside Li Chengfeng.
The woman had exquisite features and appeared to be no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but the craftiness revealed in her eyes made Li Xiaoyao judge right away that this woman was at least in her forties. Ti had not left its mark on the woman’s face, with skin so delicate it seed breakable at a touch and her graceful figure, she was like a young girl.
"Xie Nan!" A cold light flashed in the depths of Li Xiaoyao’s eyes - it was this woman who had sent assassins after him ti and again.
If she weren’t from the Li Family, Li Xiaoyao would have already taken the initiative to kill her.
The grudges of the past, Li Xiaoyao could temporarily set aside, but if this woman continued to be unreasonable and targeted him in the future, then even if she ranked above him in terms of seniority, Li Xiaoyao wouldn’t hesitate to teach her so profound lessons.
"You must be Xiaoyao, right?" Xie Nan asked with a smile, her genial expression perfectly showcasing the deanor of a great clan.
But soone beside her expressed discontent, "Hmph, you junior really don’t know the rules, making so many of our elders wait for you, you have quite the nerve."
Li Xiaoyao replied coldly, "You can eat whatever you wish, but you can’t speak carelessly. Until it is confird, the Li Family is the Li Family, and I am myself; you don’t count as my elders."
That person raised an eyebrow and glared, "Outrageous, truly lacking in manners?"
Li Xiaoyao’s eyes narrowed, sharp with cold light.
"Fourth Elder, shut your mouth." Li Chengfeng imdiately humd and glared at the man who had spoken; then he said, "Everyone is here; let’s start the al."
After being scolded by Li Chengfeng, the Fourth Elder dared not say more, staring hatefully at Li Xiaoyao for a mont before retracting his gaze.
Li Tu whispered, "He’s an outer sect Fourth Elder, from the Xie Nan Faction."
Li Xiaoyao nodded, understanding in his heart. No wonder he jumped out to embarrass , it turns out he’s one of Xie Nan’s people. But after all, the outer sect is still the outer sect, with limited status in the Li Family, and Li Chengfeng wouldn’t take him seriously.
