"Wait, Lao Huang, have you thought about how I'm going to go back to the Dragon Kingdom to give you the spirit core?" Li Xuanzu suddenly remembered Fang Hui's words.
He can no longer go back to China.
“That’s easy. Give the spirit core to Ouyang Ningxue and let her take it back to the Dragon Kingdom. I’ll explain to them then.” Old Huang had considered everything very thoroughly.
"Wow, you won't let your grandson carry the spirit core? What a terrible grandfather you are." Li Xuanzu still had the mind to tease Elder Huang.
"This child is such a worry. He's been by my side for so many years, and he's still so competitive. He's got ambitions that are too high. He'll cause trouble sooner or later. He's not capable of shouldering any responsibility." As a grandfather, how could Old Huang not know what kind of person his grandson was?
He knew why Huang Yuanqing had become like this, which was why he tried so hard to be good to him. But the more he did this, the more Huang Yuanqing wanted to carve out his own niche. This whole thing became a closed loop.
"We'll find someone to meet her when the time comes. It's too conspicuous for Ouyang Ningxue to bring these spirit cores into the pass. If all else fails, we can have Leng An and a few others come and get them. It won't be a problem."
"Alright, that's settled then. You stay in Sichuan Province and don't wander around. I'll notify Leng An to come over there and let them absorb the spirit core before returning to the Dragon Kingdom." Old Huang agreed, as there wasn't much else he could do at the moment.
Li Xuanzu hung up the phone and walked up to Huang Yuanqing.
Huang Yuanqing had just witnessed the once glorious Vermilion Bird Squad being wantonly murdered by Li Xuanzu, and his heart was filled with fear.
In particular, Qian Li's methods made him realize that there is also a gap between third-tier psionicists.
As Li Xuanzu slowly approached, Huang Yuanqing's legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground, forgetting even the pride he used to value more than his own life.
Ignoring the shocked civilians behind him, he pleaded with Li Xuanzu, his voice trembling with tears.
"Don't kill me, I..."
"What you're saying makes me look like the kind of person who's bloodthirsty." Li Xuanzu's smile looked completely fake.
As he spoke, he placed his hand on Huang Yuanqing's shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "I'm sparing your life as a favor to your grandfather. Go back and keep quiet, understand?"
Huang Yuanqing was already terrified and completely lost his composure. He would nod at every word Li Xuanzu said, like a puppet on a string.
“That’s more like it. You see, you’re a pretty good young man when you’re not talking. Contact someone to take these people away.” After Li Xuanzu finished speaking, he pulled Huang Yuanqing up from the ground and helped him brush off the dust.
This scene is very much like an elder giving earnest advice to a younger generation, with a hint of disappointment and frustration.
"You fools, get out of here after you finish eating. Don't get in my way. The Dragon Kingdom doesn't want me to live. Out of humanitarian considerations, I will ensure that you are temporarily protected from zombie attacks."
"But in return, be quiet. I didn't save you out of a sense of obligation." Li Xuanzu looked at the civilians with a warning.
Most of them had a very bad impression of him, and some even muttered disparaging remarks about him while eating the food he provided.
However, Li Xuanzu didn't have time to bother with such matters. If there were still people who were so ungrateful, Li Xuanzu wouldn't mind finding some amusement in them.
After the civilians moved aside, Huang Lao also informed Li Xuanzu that Leng An and the others would arrive in Sichuan Province the next morning and find them.
"Ouyang Ningxue, come here for a moment." Li Xuanzu called Ouyang Ningxue over.
"What are you planning to do next? In other words, where are you planning to go?"
“I…don’t know.” Ouyang Ningxue hesitated.
She and Leng An were the first to know each other, and her leaving the team was only because Leng An wished for her to do so. Ouyang Ningxue never said anything unpleasant about Leng An.
However, returning to the Dragon Kingdom at this time is definitely not the best option. Li Xuanzu has been effectively blacklisted by the Dragon Kingdom. Not to mention her, even Huang Lao, one of the highest leaders, and his grandson Huang Yuanqing will be investigated.
With his third-tier spirit core of unknown origin, his situation wouldn't be much better back in Kyoto.
"Let's make a decision tomorrow. Qian Li really likes you." Li Xuanzu didn't say it explicitly, but he extended an olive branch to Ouyang Ningxue.
Ouyang Ningxue understood the implication in Li Xuanzu's words and smiled.
Although she often has a serious face, she is indeed very beautiful when she smiles.
