Chapter 460: Chapter 460: The Lan Family’s Decision [Third Release]

Li Tu felt he was truly too miserable. He had finally arrived in Ling City, only to discover that Li Xiaoyao was not there.

After calling in favors and searching for a long time, he found out that Li Xiaoyao had actually run off to Jindu.

Li Tu had wanted to immediately head to Jindu, but a friend there told him that Li Xiaoyao seemed to have gotten himself into no small amount of trouble.

After a careful search, it turned out that the trouble Li Xiaoyao had caused was indeed significant—he had actually killed the Seventh Young Master of the Tang Family in Jindu.

The Tang Family of Jindu—a very low-key family. But being low-key did not mean they were weak. Over the years, the Tang Family rarely appeared in the public eye, yet those who paid attention would notice that the Tang Family seemed to have rapidly expanded overseas during this time.

Li Tu felt there might be some trickery involved, so using the Li Family’s influence, he managed to thoroughly investigate the Tang Family in Jindu in a very short time, turning them inside out.

In just a few hours, Li Tu had gained a meticulous understanding of the Tang Family’s development over the years.

The Tang Family indeed had exceptionally close ties with a certain foreign power, and the cooperation between the two was not limited to the business world. In short, the matter was complex, involving a wide range of issues, and could not be summarized clearly in just a word or two.

As for why Li Xiaoyao had gotten involved with the Tang Family of Jindu, Li Tu had also made it clear.

Xiao Ya of the Xiao Family.

It was over a woman again.

Li Tu tossed the information on the desk casually and sighed wordlessly. Picking up a cigarette, he lit it and muttered to himself, “This kid’s charm with women is too strong, each one around him is top grade.”

After booking his flight to Jindu for the next day, Li Tu suddenly wasn’t in such a hurry to find Li Xiaoyao anymore.

He had dealt with Li Xiaoyao before and knew his temperament. Even if he spoke kindly to him, Li Xiaoyao would not return with him to the Li Family. Since that was the case, it might be better to let him owe him a favor.

…

The Tang Family, living room.

A group of people sat around the sofa, the living room filled with smoke, their grave faces adding to the solemn atmosphere.

“How did Little Seventh die?” an elder sitting on the sofa asked.

“He was killed by a cultivator.”

“What’s the name of this cultivator?”

“Li Xiaoyao.”

“It’s said that the Zheng Family’s guardian god, Yang Tianren, was killed by this Li Xiaoyao’s own hands.”

The elder’s eyebrows raised slightly, “Oh? Is that so?” He then asked, “What was Yang Tianren’s cultivation level?”

“First Stage of the Abstinence Realm.”

“First Stage of the Abstinence Realm?” The elder was a bit surprised, “Does that mean this Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level is even stronger than Yang Tianren’s?”

“Indeed,” the person said, “Li Xiaoyao must be dissatisfied with our Tang Family’s recent conflicts with the Xiao Family over gaining control of the Zheng Family. That’s probably why he acted against us.”

“First Stage of the Abstinence Realm is indeed strong, but in the eyes of our Tang Family, it is still not a threat.” The elder shook his head, a trace of disdain in his voice, and said, “Send that youngster an invitation. Tonight, I would like to meet him.”

…

Jindu, Lan Family’s villa, living room.

“Are you saying that you met Li Xiaoyao outside Medicine God Valley?” Elder Lan looked somewhat surprised at Lan Badao and Lan Fengyun.

After learning about his serious illness, these two grandsons had gone to Zhongnan Mountain to seek medicine for him, which deeply moved Elder Lan.

Although they returned empty-handed, they brought back a piece of news that was very unexpected to Elder Lan.

Li Xiaoyao had also gone to Medicine God Valley.

“Grandfather, that Li Xiaoyao is extremely powerful. When we left, Li Xiaoyao was already causing trouble in Medicine God Valley.”

“If it weren’t for what happened today, I would really have thought Li Xiaoyao died in Medicine God Valley.”

Today, Lan Fengyun learned that the body of the Seventh Young Master of the Tang Family had been found downstairs of the Ritz-Carlton hotel.

Lan Fengyun possessed an acute sense of intuition, and he knew that the Seventh Young Master’s death was not as simple as a fall from a building. As expected, upon investigation, he found out that the Seventh Young Master had died at the hands of Li Xiaoyao.

It was after receiving this message that Lan Fengyun immediately returned home to tell his grandfather.

Li Xiaoyao killing the Seventh Young Master of the Tang Family was not what shocked Lan Fengyun the most. What he truly found unbelievable was that Li Xiaoyao was still alive.

Lan Fengyun had a general understanding of how vast the power and profound the heritage of Medicine God Valley were.

One could say that Medicine God Valley’s true strength might be limited, but their influence in the secular world was unparalleled by any family. After all, it all boiled down to the uniqueness of Medicine God Valley.

Medicine God Valley was teeming with spiritual medicine, and every elder within it was a powerful alchemist.

In this world, countless cultivators had sought medicine from Medicine God Valley. Just on this point alone, no family was foolish enough to dare cause trouble in Medicine God Valley.

Therefore, when they saw Li Xiaoyao daring to make a scene at Medicine God Valley, they had already deemed it impossible for him to leave alive.

But the fact was, Li Xiaoyao had lived and left Medicine God Valley.

This could not be called anything less than a miracle.

But the clever Lan Fengyun knew that behind the miracle, Li Xiaoyao must possess formidable strength. Otherwise, how could the high-ranking elders of Medicine God Valley let him off easily?

“Grandfather, should we help him?” In Lan Fengyun’s opinion, if they could lend a hand to Li Xiaoyao in these circumstances, they would certainly be able to further their relationship with him, which could only be good for the Lan Family.

“The Tang Family is not to be trifled with.” Vision determines achievements, and Elder Lan had grown the Lan Family into such a behemoth in a short time. Certainly, the assistance of his elder brother, a cultivator clearing away obstacles, played a role, but Elder Lan’s shrewd business acumen and decisiveness in handling affairs were even more crucial.

His understanding of the Tang Family was no less than that of Li Tu. He was well aware that the Tang Family not only had a complex network of power relations in Jindu, but they also had a tremendously powerful backing overseas.

On one hand was the opportunity to curry favor with Li Xiaoyao, and on the other was the risk of offending the Tang Family.

Between the two, Elder Lan ultimately chose the Tang Family, while also gaining a deeper understanding of Li Xiaoyao.

This lad is a troublemaker, provoking the Zheng Family one day and the Tang Family the next—there’s no telling what more fearsome power he may provoke tomorrow. It’s better to stay far away from such a dangerous individual who constantly stirs up trouble.

However, Elder Lan had not considered that although Li Xiaoyao was continuously attracting the attention of these powerful families and forces, every outcome seemed to turn out in his favor.

Having missed one opportunity after another, Elder Lan would probably never have another chance to form a closer relationship with Li Xiaoyao.

Lan Cai could only forever serve as a link that maintained the relationship between the Lan Family and Li Xiaoyao, but this link was ultimately only a one-sided relationship between Li Xiaoyao and Lan Cai. As for whether the Lan Family would encounter any great trouble in the future, the most Li Xiaoyao could do was to ensure Lan Cai’s safety. As for whether the others lived or died, it had nothing to do with him.
