Although Xi Shenlian killed a lot of people.
But to be honest, Tian Yuanli doesn't care too much about that kind of thing.
Because the people he killed were basically all Huanyue Meiying's enemies, and Huanyue Meiying had a good relationship with Xishenlian.
So the whole thing is still a case of things happening for a reason.
When it could barely be considered a faction conflict, the foreign aid from one side killed the other side's guys.
In regular events.
Of course there were a lot of casualties.
But compared with the extraordinary movements made by some awakened people, it can only be said that it is still within everyone's tolerance range.
If the authorities don't pursue the matter.
even.
In many ways, an awakened person who is willing to help someone he is on good terms with is more reassuring than someone who is indifferent to everything and completely heartless.
At the very least, you can know that the other party still has various biases and problems, so that you can judge how to live in peace with him/her.
In comparison, the kind of guy who is completely heartless and desireless is completely untraceable.
No one knows what they are thinking.
He may be law-abiding at ordinary times.
But if you are not careful, they might do something earth-shattering to open the eyes of all mankind.
Therefore, compared to that completely unreasonable psychopath, bad guys like Xi Shenlian are more likable to everyone.
That's why.
Now, after confirming that it was Xi Shenlian who did it, Tian Yuanli, who knew that the matter was not difficult to deal with, directly shifted his attention to how the other party did it.
She asked in confusion:
"Have you awakened some kind of fire-related supernatural power?"
"What's the situation with the Okada family?"
Her question was more or less difficult to explain, so Xi Shenlian first denied some of the other party's speculations:
"I haven't reached the [Self Stage] yet, so I don't have any special powers for now."
And replied:
"I just used a little special trick."
Tian Yuanli immediately complained:
"What little trick can create a flame that is not disturbed by external forces and can burn incombustible things?"
As far as she knew, the only thing that could do such an unscientific thing was basically the supernatural power of each awakened being.
Many of the awakened ones' superpowers are so incomprehensible that there are even many that completely ignore the laws of physics and the law of conservation of energy.
Xi Shenlian could only take out the lighter he used to light his cigarettes and answered truthfully:
"lighter."
"That's what I used to light that building on fire."
Looking at Xi Shenlian's sincere expression.
“…”
After two seconds of silence.
Tian Yuanli touched his chin:
"You're kidding me, aren't you?"
Xi Shenlian said very honestly:
“…I don’t think so.”
Feeling that the other party was still talking nonsense, Tian Yuanli chose to change the question:
"Then how did you make the Okada family disappear?"
Xi Shenlian once again told the truth:
"I threw a throwing knife there, and then it was gone."
"…You are really teasing me!!"
"I don't."
"You're just kidding me!!"
"I really don't."
Seeing that these two guys didn't care about the thousands of casualties, after talking about the problem for a while, they directly turned to bickering. Feisong Mingji, Ye Qisaki, and Ye Qishi could only look at each other silently.
The three of them saw helplessness and emotion in each other's eyes.
He felt helpless about not being able to get a word in on the topic between the two, and felt that the life and death of thousands of people was not enough for Xishenlian and Tianyuanli to care about.
…
Half an hour later.
Next to the table in the living room.
Looking at Tian Yuanli who was sitting opposite him, Xi Shenlian asked:
"Are you planning to stay here for lunch?"
Tian Yuanli curled his lips and said with a somewhat unwilling look:
"What else?"
"It can't be a wasted trip, right?"
"Besides, this is my first time here, so why not have a meal at your house?"
After picking up a piece of steak with a knife and fork, Xi Shenlian shook his head:
"What do you mean by a wasted trip? I've already told you the truth!"
"Alas, the world is so fickle. No one believes me when I tell the truth..."
Tian Yuanli snorted lightly, showing great disdain:
"It would be abnormal for me to believe those nonsense."
Then she asked:
"How far are you from the [Self Stage] now?"
Xi Shenlian said frankly:
"have no idea."
"Nothing."
"Maybe it's close, maybe it's far, anyway, I'm not in a hurry."
Tian Yuanli thought that the other party might not know how to judge, so he explained:
"Generally speaking, when an awakener is in the [mature stage], it is like a normal human being entering a period of rapid growth. Their strength will increase rapidly on its own. When their strength reaches a certain level, their strength will automatically increase at a certain rate, and will naturally decrease or even stagnate, just like the body of an ordinary person will naturally stop growing after it grows to a certain level."
"The emergence of that situation directly means that the strength of the awakened person has reached a certain potential limit at this stage."
"Next, the awakened ones with more potential will have the opportunity to advance to the [Self Stage] after long-term training or by chance..."
"So, if your strength has begun to slow down, then you may not be far from the [Self Stage], and you can try to train in the underground world for a while."
After listening to her popular science.
Xi Shenlian shook his head again:
“It doesn’t feel like that at all.”
"My strength has never slowed down and has continued to increase."
He felt that his strength was increasing like a snowball.
It is endlessly growing bigger and bigger.
and
He could clearly feel that if he trained hard every day, his gains would continue to increase.
But Xi Shenlian was too lazy and had no motivation to train himself.
Tian Yuanli, who didn't know the specific situation, could only say with some uncertainty after hearing his answer:
"Perhaps it's because you have higher potential."
"Perhaps you are like a middle school student in a period of rapid growth, and you are still a long way from reaching your potential ceiling at this stage?"
Then.
She continued with a more serious look:
"This time, I will do my best to help you deal with the matter between the gang and the Okada family, so that the news will not report it and the various impacts will be minimized, but you will need to solve the remaining matters on your own."
"For example, the higher-level organization of the gang will probably send someone to contact you."
"As an external aid to the Huanyue Family, you suddenly killed their lower-level members. Although the actual situation can be said to be a conflict of interests between camps, and life and death depend on ability, due to various reasons, the other party will definitely come to find you."
"This time, please don't make a big deal out of it. Please handle the matter properly. It should be just some compromise and communication."
"During this period, to some extent, the Tianyuan family will act as a peacemaker to mediate between the two parties, so as long as you don't make trouble, it will be easy to deal with the matter..."
"After all, that organization has awakened people, and you are also an awakened person. Once the conflicts between awakened people are fully triggered, it will be like a nuclear bomb explosion. The Tianyuan family does not want to see the awakened people fighting each other in Tokyo. That kind of thing is too difficult to deal with..."
