When Li Xuanzu returned to the Dragon Kingdom, he encountered an acquaintance, Leng An.
He had matured considerably since we first met, and now truly possessed the aura of a reborn individual, no longer acting like a naive youth.
"Oh, you came all this way to greet me? You're such a busy person, yet you still have the time for this?" Li Xuanzu casually hooked his arm around Leng An's neck, and the two seemed to have a very good relationship.
"I just finished my mission and heard you were back, so I thought I'd come and see you." Leng An wasn't so resistant to Li Xuanzu anymore, letting him hug her like that.
He had already heard about Li Xuanzu's new body from Elder Huang and had even seen the photos.
Leng An has indeed matured. In the past, he might have felt intense disgust towards Li Xuanzu.
But in his eyes, Li Xuanzu was a very contradictory individual.
Most of the things he does are incomprehensible, but the final results are always much better than he imagined.
For example, Li Xuanzu advocated using violence to control violence, and he always scoffed at this approach, considering it nothing more than mindless and arrogant behavior.
To his surprise, he discovered that Huang Lao had also used this method to govern the Dragon Kingdom. Anyone who disobeyed was simply killed. It wasn't exactly a case of using violence to control violence, but the effect was surprisingly good. There were no more dissenting voices within the Dragon Kingdom, and everything was done with the interests of the Dragon Kingdom in mind.
No one dared to talk about their psionic squad when they went out hunting, and the voices that had previously insulted him completely disappeared.
"Could it be that I was really wrong?" Leng An once doubted whether her actions had been too gentle.
This reminded him of what Li Xuanzu had said before.
As he thought about it more carefully, he became increasingly alarmed.
Especially in matters of the heart, he gradually came to understand Xie Ke'er's attitude towards him.
It seems... she's just constantly taking, always causing him trouble, and saying ambiguous things from time to time, which keeps giving Leng An hope. But whenever he tries to take their relationship to the next level, she always comes up with vague excuses to brush it off.
Leng An looked back on his past life and his relationship with Xie Ke'er, and finally came to his senses.
So, just as Li Xuanzu said, he began to focus his emotions on Shen Han.
Unlike Xie Ke'er, who was aloof towards him, Shen Han was genuinely affectionate towards Leng An, responding to everything he did and being very gentle.
Then, Xie Ke'er became a little anxious and began to intentionally or unintentionally make some intimate physical contact with Leng An in an attempt to salvage the situation.
Although Leng An was straightforward, he wasn't stupid. After spending so much time together and with Li Xuanzu giving so many hints, he had come to understand who was good to him and who was using him.
However, he did not resent Xie Ke'er for this, nor did he cause any harm to Leng An. They had fought side by side for so long, and it was not worth it for such a thing to cause a disagreement.
However, Leng An will no longer arbitrarily favor one person. Shen Han didn't say anything before because she liked him, and Jia Tai is also an honest man. If Leng An tells him to go east, he will never go west. In the past, when Ouyang Ningxue was around, she would stop Leng An from giving too many resources.
But now, Ouyang Ningxue has found a better place, and she can no longer tolerate someone like Leng An as her leader.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late to realize this. Judging from the eye contact between Leng An and Shen Han, things are progressing well.
"Haha, it seems you two have a good relationship. That's the good thing about young people," Old Huang said with a chuckle.
"Alright, enough of that. The spirit core is in that car. We'll split it fifty-fifty." Li Xuanzu reached out to stop Elder Huang from stepping forward.
Old Huang wasn't embarrassed at all. The spirit cores that Li Xuanzu obtained on this trip, if distributed to him, would at least add five more third-tier spirit energy users to the Dragon Kingdom. So what if he lost face? He's lived so long, what's there to be afraid of?
"What's going on with Qian Li?" Leng An didn't know why Qian Li wasn't acting with Li Xuanzu, and he hadn't heard much information from Old Huang.
When he first heard the news, he didn't believe it at all. Qian Li was absolutely loyal to Li Xuanzu. No matter how good he was to her, she would stand firmly on his side regardless of whether Li Xuanzu was right or wrong.
He had no doubt that even if Li Xuanzu ordered her to die, she would end her own life without hesitation.
Li Xuanzu treated her exceptionally well, rarely letting Qian Li participate in dangerous battles, always doing everything himself. He also took great care of her, providing her with the best of everything, including spirit cores and food.
They don't seem like siblings, more like...father and daughter.
