Chapter 310 - Li Xianyi’s Departure (Part 2)
Chapter 310: 310、Li Xianyi’s Departure (Part 2)
The three people around the table were silent for a long time. Looking at one another, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
It was Lu Xiaoyu who finally asked, “What is the aspirations of the Foundation? What is it about them that warrant all of you going out to devote your youth, foundation and even life?”
Li Xianyi looked at Lu Xiaoyu, suddenly feeling a little gratified. He continued, “We believed then that we could change the world. We believed we could bring back world peace, protect mankind. To prevent a certain thing from happening, we even cloaked ourselves in darkness and kept a deep secret. This is like a joke the world cracked on us.”
Li Xianyi suddenly asked upon bringing this up, “Do you two know what is the sharpest blade in the world?”
Lu Shu muttered something for a moment before saying, “The dragon-slaying blade of Playful Blue Moon?”
“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +999!”
What Playful Blue Moon, playful what blue moon! What crap!
Li Xianyi decided to filter away Lu Shu, “The sharpest blade, is time. All the old men of my generation is about to retire from the stage of history. The world’s great veterans of bygone days have all became old soldiers.”
Lu Shu was disagreed slightly, “Your lament is a little misplaced. You just got elevated to Class A, foundation also recovered. There is only two of you who are Class As in the whole world. Shouldn’t it be the time to think these two old men are invincible under heaven? What’s with all these melancholy…”
“Get out, you,” Li Xianyi pointed at the door of the courtyard.
“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +313!”
Lu Shu was gleeful. Last night, he was utterly enraged by Li Xianyi over the Energy Sea Snowy Mountain issue. Li Xianyi can be considered half a teacher to him. It also meant that Lu Shu only knew last night how vicious it could get when a master hoodwinks his disciple!
Treating Li Xianyi like this today was also because Lu Shu was still feeling a little unhappy, but he had not really fuss over the small things with Li Xianyi. He chuckled, “Say what you want, I shan’t intervene anymore. I will be quiet as this stone table.”
Li Xianyi nodded, “From today onwards, the two of you must be firm in improving yourselves. Never should you two gloat over your current achievements, especially Lu Xiaoyu. Once you enter Daoyuan class, you must practice hard, study hard.”
Lu Xiaoyu knew the old man was leaving and was therefore extra good today. She nodded, “Got it.”
Li Xianyi turned around and looked at Lu Shu, “Don’t be too anxious over your Energy Sea Snowy Mountain. I will definitely think of a solution for you. However, I do feel perplexed. Why do you not practice the cultivation techniques of Daoyuan class? You must understand that Awakening is not a long-term solution.”
Now, the mainstream thoughts in this world is split into two camps. For example, in places like North America with not much cultural inheritance, they focuesed more on researching about how to attain Awakenment and how to enhance the human body to finally become a superhuman.
There were some suppositions which were all proven to be not aligned to the requirements of cultivation. Therefore, what they attached greater importance to over in North America was technology and Awakening. To them, Awakening is the greatest gift from Heaven.
To organizations like the Heavenly Network with deep cultural inheritance, what was attached greater importance and focus was the fruits of inner cultivation. They believed that the element of luck in Awakenment is still too great, unless any organization can develop a stable method of Awakening.
Legend had it then there seemed to really be an organization which really saw great development in this aspect, but it was not further proven to be true.
To people like Li Xianyi, cultivation was more reliable, hence he asked that.
Li Xianyi looked at Lu Shu. Lu Shu also looked at the old man.
Lu Shu, “…”
Li Xianyi, “…”
After a long silence, Li Xianyi was enraged, “Say something!”
“A stone table can’t talk…”
From Li Xianyi’s distress, +666!”
Lu Shu smiled, “Don’t worry yourself with so many things.”
Li Xianyi felt like slaughtering Lu Shu there and then!
Actually, Lu Shu was using this method to reduce the level of notice Li Xianyi was taking on this matter. How could he answer this question? Previously, Lu Shu already had his suspicions when the old man gave him and Lu Xiaoyu the sodium-potassium alloy test tube if Li Xianyi possesses the ability to know a person’s natural gifts.
Now, such a question could not be answered directly in any circumstances, hence he decided to avoid it.
At this moment, Auntie Liu emerged from the house. Li Xianyi looked deeply into Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes, “I’m leaving now. you two take care. This house is now yours. If anything happens, call this number and you can always reach us.”
Upon saying that, Li Xianyi placed a piece of paper on the stone table. In it was a long series of numbers.
Lu Shu was silent for a moment, “Please take care. I hope that when we meet again, you are still as healthy.”
Li Xianyi gave a gratified smile. The days spent today this period of time was like colors added into darkness in his life. He was also unwillingto leave exactly because of this.
No saying anything anymore, Li Xianyi placed his hand on Auntie Liu’s shoulder and the two of them suddenly took to the sky. Lu Shu was utterly shocked. A Class A not only can fly but also bring someone else along?!
That being said, how many people can he bring along?!
The air gushed around them. Despite taking a person with him, Li Xianyi seemed to be flying faster that Chen Baili by a notch. Who knew how glorious was the old man in the world of practitioners during the time of magical energy rejuvenation.
Suddenly, Lu Shu thought of an issue, “Hey wait up! Finish the legal procedures for thetransfer of the house before leaving!”
In the sky, Li Xianyi’s figure seemed to pause for a moment before he flew further west, his head not turning back once.
“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +199!”
Lu Shu muttered, “He obviously heard, but pretended not to.”
For fighters like Li Xianyi and Chen Baili, their individual prowess and capabilities were both good enough. They were only stuck in Class B due to a broken foundation, all they need was a turning point to break through.
Now, Lu Shu had given them the chance. However, as for himself, Lu Shu still had a long way to go.
Speaking about housing, Lu Shu felt that it was time he acquire some fixed asset, such as a house.
Chen Zuan called just last night from where he was to notify them that Naughty Pig and Big Kitty would be shipped over in three days.
When they arrive, where should they go? This is a big problem.
With its gigantic size, one Naughty Pig can already fill up his whole courtyard. Even though it could stand, it was impossible to simply leave it there without moving around. To just lie around and do nothing but eat and sleep, wouldn’t it become useless?
Furthermore, such intelligent wild animals with Class D power would not be fitting if placed in a bustling city, not as if he had his own villa with courtyard.
If he leave them here, other neighbors in this residential quarter will probably call the police everyday…
He could only go to Beimang Mountain to buy a house there. Indeed, a few developers had already set their sight there, but the heart of development in Luo Cheng had always been in the south. The land price in Beimang mountain was pretty affordable. It was said that in 2010, a 200 square feet villa in the suburb cost only $500,000 which was considered very cheap. Even so, nobody wished to buy.
It was because it required almost an hour by car to reach the city center from the area. Maybe people would consider if it was in such geographical locations like Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, but in third-tier cities like Luo Cheng, there offered no business opportunity.
