Guan Yutian ignored Ren Qianxing's surprise.
Instead, they continued to wait for Li Chengqian's reply.
"Hehehe!"
Li Chengqian chuckled a few times.
"Forget it, let's keep the Dragon Soul Blade Master for ourselves."
"You and Ren Qianxing should go back first; the storytelling event has been delayed for quite a while."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yutian bowed again and then led Ren Qianxing back to Room No. 7 of the Heavenly Character.
Before leaving, Guan Yutian also took Sima Changfeng's Dragon Soul Blade with him.
Everyone returned to their rooms, leaving only the injured and bleeding Sima Changfeng outside the inn.
Li Chengqian looked at Sima Changfeng outside the door with a mocking smile, clicked his tongue, and said, "Logically speaking, you shouldn't be able to leave Ping'an Inn alive today."
"However, I, Li, am not keen on taking your life. If I were to actually kill you, it would make it seem like I couldn't see through the schemes of the person behind you."
“Here’s what we’ll do. When we get back, I’ll tell you about Banyuetian, the godfather you’ve been talking about.”
"Have him come to Ping An Inn to pick up Li Yijian. If he survives, this matter will be considered closed."
"By the way, tell Banyuetian not to be in such a hurry. I'm quite busy lately and don't have time to deal with him. Let him come back in six months."
"But it must be on time; Mr. Li doesn't want to make the trip himself."
After speaking, Li Chengqian waved his hand again, sending a burst of true energy into Sima Changfeng's body. Sima Changfeng's injuries were instantly healed by more than half.
Sima Changfeng looked coldly at Li Chengqian, and finally turned and left.
With everything settled, Guan Yutian and Ren Qianxing arrived at the door of Room 7, Number Seven.
However, the two did not go in, but stood respectfully at the door, waiting for Young Master Huang's response.
At this moment, Guan Yutian was still a little flustered, even though his innate qi was said to be unbreakable by anyone but a Martial King.
But
The Sunflower Ancestor is a pseudo-Celestial Realm cultivator, okay? I can't say for sure what his exact strength is, but he's definitely at the Martial King level.
Li Chengqian leisurely drank tea on the high platform, refusing to acknowledge Young Master Huang.
Seeing this, Young Master Huang's face was filled with resentment.
"Mr. Li, can't you really give me the honor of telling me the secret of the life-or-death game?"
"No!"
"I am very unhappy that the Embroidered Uniform Guards are spying on the Bamboo Grove Courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Huang's lips twitched.
“Mr. Li, your little maid goes to the Embroidered Uniform Guard to buy groceries every day. It’s impossible for the Embroidered Uniform Guard not to know about this, even if they wanted to.”
"I don't care about that, I'm just unhappy, and I won't say anything if I'm unhappy."
""
Mr. Li, you are probably the only one in the world who would dare to defy the Emperor Ming like this.
Young Master Huang took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and smiled, "Then what would it take for Mr. Li to be happy?"
"The secrets of the game of life and death are too great; it's too much trouble for me to handle it all by myself. You can share half with me."
"No problem, Mr. Li, may I speak now?"
Upon hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Li Chengqian's face.
"oops!"
"Actually, there's no secret to the life-or-death game. It's just two mountains of gold. I'll just exchange my share for silver notes later."
Everyone:? ? ?
Kingsoft!!!
Guan Yutian: ""
Didn't anyone ask how I felt?
Chapter 356 The prodigy Wu Ming, the little old man, it's just a pity...
As Li Chengqian revealed the secret of the game of life and death.
The expressions on people's faces varied; some were surprised, some were disappointed, and some thought it was nothing special.
At this moment, some eccentric martial arts practitioners said, "Mr. Li, the secret of this life-and-death game is too simple."
"Besides the two mountains of gold, is there nothing more precious?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and looked down.
What do you hope is inside?
"Do you expect there to be a magic lamp inside where you can make a wish, and just say to it, 'I want to be the emperor'?"
"After you open your eyes, you will become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Stop joking. Everything in this world is about reaping what you sow. Even if some lucky people can get something for nothing, that's fine."
"That only means he was born into a good family, and his ancestors accumulated good karma."
"Otherwise, how could he possibly get such a good opportunity?"
Hearing this, the martial arts practitioners were still not very satisfied.
“Mr. Li, didn’t you say that General Ying Shuntian made a curse five hundred years ago?”
"Whoever can unify the world will be able to solve the secrets of the game of life and death?"
"I have two questions about this legend."
"Can money conquer the world?"
"If it can unify the world, why is it called a curse?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smacked his lips and laughed, "After unifying the world, you will be the emperor."
"As an emperor, one naturally has to call oneself 'I, the lonely one,' which is surely a curse."
"Besides, what you just said isn't quite right. Having a little money and having a lot of money are not the same thing."
"Everything has a cost, and the cost of rebellion is even greater."
"It takes money to manufacture weapons, it takes money to provide food, and it takes money to pay soldiers who are willing to risk their lives for you."
"Once you start a rebellion, every word you say and every action you take will be worth money."
"If there are no talented people, we can recruit them; if there are no soldiers, we can recruit them; if we can't recruit them, we can conscript men."
"It's easy to say that you don't have anything, because there are ways to get it. But money is a different story."
"Especially antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rare jade artifacts—those fat, gentry families have plenty of these things, but these things cannot be used as military pay."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
A violent cough interrupted Li Chengqian's words.
"Mr. Li, aren't you going a bit off-topic?"
"Isn't today's storytelling discussion about the list of Grand Masters of the Ming Dynasty?"
Li Chengqian smiled calmly at Huang Gongzi's gaze.
"Yeah!"
"Oops, we've gone off-topic again. Let's continue talking about the next few on the Grandmaster list."
The topic of rebellion was abruptly stopped by Young Master Huang.
Some of the martial arts practitioners who were listening with great interest also looked disappointed. Although they were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to keep it to themselves.
If anyone finds out you're discussing this kind of thing, your entire family will be executed.
After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Li Chengqian said, "Third place on the list of Grandmasters of the Ming Dynasty."
"Old man Wu Ming."
"Wu Ming, known as the Little Old Man, lives alone overseas and rarely shows his true face."
"He appears to be a kind and gentle old man, but his wisdom and resourcefulness are truly remarkable."
"Aside from his intelligence, his martial arts talent is even more astonishing."
"He is proficient in many martial arts techniques in the martial arts world, such as the Ruyi Orchid Hand, the Bone-Melting Palm, and the Primordial Qi Gong, etc."
"If an ordinary person were to learn these martial arts, it would absolutely take them ten or twenty years."
"But in his hands, it would take at least one or two months, or at least half a month, to master it."
"His strength has reached the peak of Grandmaster, and he is only a step away from the Martial King realm."
"but"
Li Chengqian paused deliberately halfway through his sentence.
Seeing the stunned crowd, Li Chengqian smiled.
"However, this person possesses great talent and wisdom, so after comprehensive consideration, he is placed third on the Grandmaster list."
After speaking, Li Chengqian picked up his teacup and waited quietly for everyone to ask questions.
As expected, Young Master Huang couldn't help but ask first, "Mr. Li, according to you, this Wu Ming is an extraordinary person who has never been seen before."
"Why do you say that he has a lot of wisdom and talent but nothing else?"
The appearance of the old man Wu Ming was somewhat unexpected for Young Master Huang.
Because he never expected that there would be such an extraordinary person in the Ming Dynasty.
··Requesting flowers···
Setting down his teacup, Li Chengqian slowly said, "Wu Ming had already reached the late stage of Grandmaster cultivation when he was fifteen years old."
"To have achieved such a feat at the age of fifteen is truly remarkable."
