Li Mingke was inspecting the border of Pengzhou when he unexpectedly encountered Miaoyinzi.
Miao Yinzi was drunk at a food stall and was playing a drinking game with strangers at the next table.
"Come on, you lost again this time, drink!"
Miao Yinzi slammed the wine bottle down in front of the person next to her, forcing him to drink. The man didn't stand on ceremony and drank it down. The two clinked glasses and shook hands, making quite a scene.
Li Mingke's eye twitched, then he turned away without making a sound.
The world outside is in chaos, yet the people of Zhaixing Pavilion still have the leisure to travel around.
However, the people from Zhaixing Pavilion are just people who rely on their smooth talk to scam food and drinks everywhere!
It's no wonder she thought that way; the main reason was that Shenjizi left her with such a terrible impression.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Miaoyinzi shout behind her, "Mingke!" while waving her hand.
Seeing Miao Yinzi staggering over to chase after her, dizzy and almost falling to the ground, Li Mingke had no choice but to walk towards her.
She quickly helped the person up and asked helplessly, "Senior, what brings you to my Pengzhou?"
Miao Yinzi hiccuped, and before she could finish speaking, she blurted out, "I...I...I have something urgent to tell you!"
Li Mingke took the person home.
After a few cups of hangover tea, Miao Yinzi sobered up.
She hugged Li Mingke tightly. "Mingke, it's so chaotic outside, why are you still holed up at home!"
Li Mingke was a little confused. "What does what happens outside have to do with me? As long as Pengzhou isn't affected, that's fine."
Miao Yinzi gripped her arm tightly, "Do you even know about the negotiations between immortals and demons?"
"I know, Pengzhou has also sent people there."
Miao Yinzi wailed, "How could you send someone! You should have gone yourself!"
"Huh?" Li Mingke was puzzled. "Why should I? The people I sent are all heavyweights in the family. It's no different from me going in person. If I, the young master, had to do everything myself, I would be exhausted long ago! Besides, does my going mean the war will stop?"
"Yes!" Miao Yinzi's voice was loud and clear.
"Nonsense!" Li Mingke shoved the person away.
Miao Yinzi sat in her chair, panting heavily. "The conflict between the immortal and demon realms was originally caused by lower-level cultivators, but the negotiations have been very unsuccessful, and now the atmosphere is extremely tense. If this continues, the higher-ups will be unhappy, and the two realms will really start fighting!"
"Oh." Li Mingke simply picked at his ear, completely unconcerned.
"Are you even listening?!" Miao Yinzi jumped up anxiously.
"Have you heard that? Do you think I have such great power that I can stop them?"
“Of course you do!” Miao Yinzi stepped forward again. “The most powerful beings at the second level of Immortal and Demon are Jin Yun and Luan Hua. As long as they don’t want to fight, there’s a high probability that a fight won’t break out. You are the only one who can stop them!”
Li Mingke raised his right hand and placed it between the two people. "I'm sorry, I don't know either of them at all."
"You!" Miao Yinzi choked on her words.
Li Mingke paced back and forth, saying, “Senior Miaoyinzi, I don’t know who sent you to Pengzhou, but please tell your master, Shenjizi, when you return—the affairs of the Li family are not to be interfered with by the people of Zhaixing Pavilion again!”
Having said that, he flicked his sleeve, walked to the door, pushed it open, and gestured for her to enter.
Ignoring her silent shooing, Miao Yinzi was sweating profusely with anxiety. "You've read that book, haven't you? This isn't a matter of whether you want to or not! Only you can do this!"
She cried out, "Nature's spiritual energy is exhausted, and disasters are raging everywhere. Only you can save all living beings!"
Li Mingke couldn't listen to it anymore, so he pushed Miao Yinzi by the back and pushed her out.
As Miaoyinzi walked, she kept shouting, "That book, you absolutely have to read that book!"
Li Mingke let her make a fuss, and had someone send his own immortal boat to pack up Miao Yinzi and throw her on it, sending her directly back to the Star-Picking Pavilion.
The negotiations between the immortals and demons went very poorly, and the antagonism between the two realms deepened further. Although it is officially forbidden to enhance one's own power by plundering the cultivation of others, the situation is getting worse and worse because there is no clear legislation or punishment system.
The authorities turn a blind eye, which basically means they condone this behavior.
Meanwhile, the situation in the mortal realm of Daye was getting worse and worse. Despite Wu Xiyu sending out various forms of support from Jiangtian, the situation did not improve.
The Three Realms were in complete chaos.
Although Li Mingke expressed an indifferent attitude, Miao Yinzi's words still deeply affected her.
She opened that "heavenly book" again.
The beginning was the same as before, but to her surprise, a new chapter appeared on the last page of the original ending.
this!
She was certain that the following content was completely new!
In other words, these new chapters appeared out of thin air!
With trembling hands, she turned the pages one by one.
Finally, unable to hold on any longer, she collapsed into the chair.
...
Li Mingke convened the first family meeting in the name of the young master.
"Currently, Pengzhou is almost the only part of the entire continent that has not been greatly affected, but the number of refugees from outside is increasing, and a large number of refugees have flocked to Pengzhou. I wonder what everyone's thoughts are?"
The attendees immediately began to discuss the matter animatedly.
"Young Master, in such chaotic times, if Pengzhou can accept these refugees, Pengzhou's reputation and image will surely become famous throughout the world!"
"No! We absolutely cannot let the refugees in! Pengzhou has limited resources, but too many refugees!"
"Then let's set a standard: how many resources can someone bring to be allowed to enter!"
"I'm afraid this move will be criticized by others!"
Li Mingke listened to the various comments below, tapping his fingers on the table.
"What you all said makes sense."
The meeting lasted a full day, and the debate continued until the very end.
That evening, Li Mingke came to see He Xun alone.
"You must be tired." He Xun handed her a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Li Mingke took it and then stared into her eyes.
Those were exquisite eyes formed from five-colored stones.
She sighed softly.
"He Xun, what are your thoughts on the current situation in the outside world?"
"Me? I'm just an ordinary person, what's the point of my opinion?"
"Of course it makes sense."
The dim light elongated the silhouettes of one sitting and one standing.
"Those eyes are with you."
A keen eye is the key to solving everything.
