Chapter 600: Chapter 302: Direct Descendants (Part 4)
"Thank you, thank you, my lord!"
Li An was full of gratitude, and bowed.
The crowd immediately dispersed.
After they left, Yi Wei couldn’t help but look complex and said, "Old brother Li An, this... you really, are impressive!"
No matter how stupid, one would understand at this moment that he was actually used by Li An.
Li An used him to connect with many big figures within the Yi Clan.
"Brother Yi, thanks to your care, please tell your esteemed brother that in a few days, I will send him two more refined corpses."
Li An spoke softly.
Yi Wei’s heart instantly cleared of any grudge when he recalled that his elder brother Yi Jie had also been promoted because of this, and became a steward, while he himself had also received the Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill, he couldn’t help but say, "Brother Li, I’m treating you to drinks tomorrow!"
Li An smiled.
...
The next day.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao came to visit.
"Tsk, growing skills, Li Gou, you really are a cunning one. Even under these circumstances, you managed to hook up with many in the Yi Clan."
She teased, "Given the chance, maybe in a few years, you’ll be a senior figure in the Yi Clan."
She truly admired that under such circumstances, Li An could still create external connections.
"It’s a pity, no matter how many good things you give those people, they can’t save you."
She crossed her arms, acting nonchalant, "Only your master I would truly save your life."
Li An smiled, "I told you, I don’t need you to save me."
"Any news from Shangguan Shengxian?"
"She’s gone to kill on behalf of Yi Changfeng."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao replied, "Over there with the Gong Clan, they’re getting the most meat pigs. The Yi Clan is envious, but there’s nothing they can do, because those people can break through Immortal Mountain Island, right? But since Shangguan Shengxian is an outsider, she can take action."
"I’ve heard she’s killed quite a few from the Gong Clan."
Li An pondered.
From his understanding of Shangguan Shengxian, she never did meaningless things.
Now, the greatest benefit she could bring to the Yi Clan would be the Giant Tomb Island. Even Shangguan Xiaoxiao was starting to look for it, but Shangguan Shengxian instead went early to kill for the Yi Clan?
Going in opposite directions.
Unless...
She had other intentions?
Li An suddenly began questioning Shangguan Shengxian’s purpose in coming to the Yi Clan.
"No, this isn’t right..."
Li An quickly noticed the issue!
Firstly, Shangguan Shengxian and Shangguan Xiaoxiao should’ve entered the Exotic Realm around the same time, the difference in time shouldn’t be too large.
After all, the manifestation and invasion of the Exotic Realm into the Spirit Realm has only been in these past few years.
However, after entering the Exotic Realm, Shangguan Xiaoxiao, because of the Mysterious Dao Mark on her, came directly to the Yi Clan as an Honored Guest Elder, but not Shangguan Shengxian. There wasn’t even any news of her.
Where did she go?
Until now, suddenly appearing at the Gong Clan.
Moreover, her actions and her exhibited intentions clearly don’t match.
"Does Shangguan Shengxian have other connections within the Exotic Realm? Was she hidden there, or did she meet with someone else during that time she disappeared?"
Li An fully utilized his imagination.
In dealing with Shangguan Shengxian, he never set limits to his thinking.
This person is too ruthless.
"If she merely wanted to enter the Yi Clan to have a foothold amid the strangeness, her timing is too late..."
"She has other plans for coming to the Yi Clan!"
Li An almost instantly confirmed this point.
Moreover, her causing trouble for Shangguan Xiaoxiao, or even targeting Li An, might just be her smokescreen, to deceive Yi Changfeng and others.
The Yi Clan has no idea of the ruthlessness of Shangguan Shengxian, instead seeing her as just an ordinary Demon Cultivator colluding to seek glory by betraying her world... grave mistake!
"In a few days, I will leave this place and gain freedom."
Li An spoke softly, "You should hurry and leave, you shouldn’t get involved with the Yi Clan."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao stared at Li An, wanting to say something, but he already said, "Don’t drag me down."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was suddenly choked with anger, "Fine, Li Gou, you’re spreading your wings now, good, very good, when you die, your master I will definitely turn you into a De Fu Pill!"
After speaking, she turned and left.
...
Meanwhile.
"Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill?"
In a certain part of the Yi Clan, within a pavilion, Shangguan Shengxian stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the rippling lake, she slightly smiled, "This Li An is still so interesting."
"A cockroach that’s hard to kill... but this time, my target isn’t you."
"Crushing you would be fine, and leaving you alive to play with later wouldn’t be bad either..."
She remained very calm.
...
Goodnight
