"Whatever grudges there are between you have nothing to do with me. It's your own business." Li Xiu said lightly.

Han Minghui smiled and said, "How can you say it has nothing to do with you? After Li Xianchun's disturbance, I'm afraid no one except me would dare to trade with you, Chief Li."

"I had no intention of doing business with anyone, but they insisted on coming to me," said Li Xiu.

Han Minghui was slightly startled: "What Director Li means is that you don't intend to exchange the Divine Gem at all, right?"

"If it were you, would you exchange it?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

Han Minghui looked at Li Xiu and didn't speak for a long time.

Li Xiu reached into his pocket and took out the golden box, placed it on the table, and slowly opened it, revealing the divine gem inside.

Han Minghui's beautiful eyes suddenly straightened: "It is indeed a divine gem. I said I was not mistaken."

Seeing Li Xiu close the box again, Han Minghui frowned and asked, "Chief Li, what do you mean by this?"

"Do you think this divine gem is precious?" Li Xiu said disdainfully, pressing his palm on the box.

"For me now, the divine gem is the most precious treasure." Han Minghui didn't understand what Li Xiu meant by this.

"How precious is it?" Li Xiu asked with interest, pressing the box.

"I'm willing to give up everything I have now for it." Han Minghui stared at Li Xiu and said word by word, "I want to exchange everything I have now for this divine gemstone, Chief Li, are you willing?"

"What do you think?" Li Xiu asked back.

Han Minghui continued to stare at Li Xiu and said, "General Manager Li probably didn't understand what I said."

As she spoke, Han Minghui took out a small box and placed it in front of Li Xiu. Without waiting for Li Xiu to ask what it was, she opened the box.

Li Xiu looked down and saw a blood-red stone in the box.

"Blood-sealed stone... could it be..." Li Xiu looked up at Han Minghui in surprise, and he realized something.

"Yes, this one is my blood seal stone. Everything I said includes myself and the entire Han family. Can President Li consider such a deal?" Han Minghui stared at Li Xiu with burning eyes.

Li Xiu naturally knew what this meant. If this was really Han Minghui's blood seal stone, it meant that she had to exchange everything she had for a chance to be promoted to a god. With the blood seal stone in hand, even if she was promoted to a god, she could only obey Li Xiu's orders, otherwise her life would be in danger, which was tantamount to selling herself into slavery.

"Is it worth it?" Li Xiu raised his head and looked at Han Minghui. Han Minghui's move was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations, forcing him to re-examine this female vice president.

"It's worth it." Han Minghui nodded seriously.

"What a pity, I still can't sell this divine gem." Li Xiu shook his head and sighed.

"Is Chief Li worried about the authenticity of this Blood Seal Stone?" Han Minghui thought for a moment and said, "If Chief Li has such concerns, then there is no need to worry. I will give this Blood Seal Stone to you, and you can also use another Blood Seal Stone to make a contract with me..."

"Vice President Han misunderstood." Li Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't doubt your integrity, but because I also need this divine gem to ascend to the divine position, how can I sell it to you?"

Han Minghui was greatly disappointed when she heard this, but she also felt that it was reasonable. After all, it was a divine gem. It would be strange if a strong man like Li Xiu didn't need it.

"Director Li intended to use such rumors to preserve this divine gem from the very beginning. The information that Li Xianchun obtained was also deliberately spread by you, right?" Han Minghui sighed.

"That's not the case. I do want the resources of the major families."

Han Minghui was slightly startled by Li Xiu's answer. She asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why didn't you act earlier and let Li Xianchun get the news? It might not be that easy to seek resources from the big families now."

Li Xiu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, they haven't taken out the best things yet, and the things they have taken out now are not enough."

Han Minghui felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, but she became even more confused in an instant: "You told me all this, aren't you afraid that I will leak the news?"

"I just want you to spread the news." Li Xiu said lightly.

Han Minghui was stunned at first, then her expression changed constantly, and her eyes looking at Li Xiu became somewhat complicated, with fear growing in intensity.

She already understood what Li Xiu was trying to do. He wanted to use her to complete the Yin-Yang game.

Now everyone thinks that Li Xiu wants to cheat them of their resources, but when they know that Li Xiu really has the divine gem in his hands, and that Han Minghui is willing to exchange it for the divine gem at all costs, Li Xianchun and the others will probably regret it and will be more eager to restore the previous situation in order to exchange the divine gem with Li Xiu.

If Han Minghui told these to others at that time, Li Xianchun and the others would probably think that she was just trying to get the divine gem.

She has become Li Xiu's bait, and she can't escape. She is even unable to defend herself, and no one believes the truth. By then, Li Xiu will sweep up the resources of various families, and everyone will think that she is Li Xiu's agent, and the Han family will become the target of public criticism.

"Director Li, why do you have to make things difficult for a woman like me?" Han Minghui said with a wry smile.

"I'm not making things difficult for you. I just want to make a deal with Vice President Han." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Deal? Didn't you say..." Han Minghui couldn't understand what Li Xiu was trying to do for a moment.

"Yes, I want to use this divine gem myself and will not trade it to anyone else. However, there are more than one divine gems in the world. Are you willing to take a chance, Vice President Han?" Li Xiu said calmly while looking at Han Minghui.

Han Minghui is such a smart person that she naturally knows what Li Xiu means.

Li Xiu can now get a divine gem. After he is promoted to a god, he will have the ability to kill divine demons. At that time, he may be able to get a second divine gem.

"Things like the divine gemstone depend on luck. Director Li, you want me to gamble my life." Han Minghui smiled bitterly and shook her head.

She knew that having the ability to kill the divine demon spirit did not mean that she would be able to obtain the divine gem.

The probability of the appearance of the divine gem is really too low. Even if you are promoted to the divine position, killing divine demons will still be very risky. If you kill hundreds of divine demons, you may not be able to get a divine gem if you are unlucky.

Before, the big guys in Changshengtian had tried to kill the gods and demons, and she was also thinking of doing the same. However, over the years, Changshengtian had killed quite a few gods and demons, but had obtained only a handful of god gems.

Li Xiu was lucky enough to get a divine gem from the ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom, but that didn't mean he could kill the demon and get the divine gem.

Han Minghui couldn't expect Li Xiu to take risks again and again to hunt down gods and demons. That would be gambling with his life, and the probability was too low.

In Han Minghui's opinion, what Li Xiu said now was just empty talk.

As if seeing through Han Minghui's thoughts, Li Xiu played with the divine gem and said playfully, "Vice President Han, you don't really think that this divine gem came from the ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom, do you?"

Han Minghui was stunned at first when she heard this, and then her expression became extremely complicated.

…

Li Xianchun has been in a good mood recently. After the last rebellion, the Li family’s situation in Changshengtian was very bad.

Although everyone knows that it is not Li Changyin's branch that is in power in the Li family now, who would be willing to get so close to a family with a history of treason?

This time, Li Xianchun exposed Li Xiu's conspiracy, allowing the major families to keep the treasures that their families had obtained with the blood and lives of several generations over the years. This favor was owed.

Although it is impossible for the Li family to return to its previous glory, it is much better now.

"To keep the family's status as the leader... it's a long and arduous journey..." Li Xianchun sighed. He had done so many things, and now he just wanted the Li family to keep its position as the leader.

Now the strength of the Li family has been greatly damaged, and it is much worse than the other three families. If they lose their position as the first family, the resources they can obtain will be greatly reduced, and the situation will only get worse. It will be almost impossible to return to the ranks of the first family.

"The strength of the Li family is indeed much weaker now. Without strong power as a backing, no matter how many means they have, they can only hold on for a while..." Li Xianchun sighed secretly while reading the intelligence.

Li Changyin has lost too many strong men from the Li family. What the Li family lacks most now is top-level combat power, but top-level combat power cannot be cultivated overnight.

Suddenly, a piece of information caught Li Changyin's attention. He read it over and over again, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"Strange, why would that woman Han Minghui secretly contact Li Xiu?" Li Xianchun looked at the contents of the intelligence with a frown on his face.

He was clearly the first one to notify Han Minghui. Even if he did not inform Han Minghui, it is now known to everyone and it is impossible for Han Minghui not to have received the news.

She knew very well that Li Xiu wanted to defraud the resources of various families, yet she still secretly contacted Li Xiu. This seemed to be a bit wrong.

Li Xianchun pondered for a long time, and then looked through some recent information about Han Minghui and the Han family. His expression became more and more complicated.

"This is a bit strange. After that, Han Minghui actually went to meet Li Xiu secretly twice. What did she want to do... Could it be..." Li Xianchun stared at the information for a long time, and finally seemed to have made some important decision. He stood up, opened the door of the secret room, took something, and hurried out.

In the Green Field Trial Ground, Li Xianchun stood quietly in a small forest without saying a word.

Soon, a figure entered the grove and came to the opposite side of Li Xianchun.

"Why did you contact me for a meeting at this time?" The figure frowned as he looked at Li Xianchun.

"I didn't expect that the Han family's butler was actually Feng Zheng." Li Xianchun said, looking at the gentle middle-aged man in front of him.

Li Changyin had planted hidden cards in various major families before, some of which were not used. Kite was one of them.

After Li Xianchun took over the Li family, these hidden players also fell into his hands. However, he also knew that the current situation of the Li family was not suitable for the use of these hidden players, so he had not contacted these hidden players for such a long time.

Moreover, all Li Changyin left behind were contact information and code names of his hidden agents. Li Xianchun had no idea who those hidden agents were, and he didn't even know whether they would be loyal to the Li family.

He made an appointment with Feng Zheng to meet, but he didn't expect that Feng Zheng not only came, but was also the Han family's chief steward. This made him secretly admire Li Changyin for being able to do this.

"You called me here just to say this?" Feng Zheng's face looked a little ugly.

"If it wasn't a matter of great importance, I wouldn't have asked you to meet me. I need you to do something for me. This matter is related to the future prosperity and decline of the Li family. Only you can do it." Li Xianchun said.

"Speak." Feng Zheng's expression looked better.

"Can I trust you?" Li Xianchun asked slowly, staring at the kite.

Feng Zheng looked at Li Xianchun for a long time before he said, "Li Changyin is like a teacher and a father to me. He is the one who gave me my life, and I am only loyal to him."

"So what?" Li Xianchun asked, staring at the kite.

"For so many years, he has given everything for the Li family. Now that he is gone, I can do things for the Li family, but it is limited to Li family's affairs." Feng Zheng said.

"That's enough." Li Xianchun walked up to Feng Zheng and whispered something.

"Wait for my news." Feng Zheng said and turned away.

Li Xianchun watched the kite leave and waited for a long time before leaving.

Two days later, Li Xianchun had a secret letter in his hand. After reading the secret letter, Li Xianchun's face turned very ugly.

Although not a single word in this secret report was directly related to what he wanted to know, and it was even just some clues, but from these clues, Li Xianchun was able to draw a conclusion that perhaps Li Xiu really had the divine gem in his hand.

"It was not a memorial day, but Han Minghui went to the Han Family Ancestral Hall, and then went to see Li Xiu. The things hidden in the Han Family Ancestral Hall..." The more Li Xianchun looked, the more frightened he became.

It would be almost impossible for Han Minghui to dare to use the things in the Han family ancestral hall if she was not sure that Li Xiu really had the divine gem in his hand.

“If Li Xiu really has the divine gem in his hand, then why doesn’t he explain anything… Could it be that he wants to use me to make people think that he doesn’t have the divine gem, so as to keep the divine gem and wait for him to be promoted to the divine position? Now that I’m making things difficult for him, how will my Li family cope with it in the future… He doesn’t have the jade token in his hand at all… That’s why he goes to such great lengths…” Li Xianchun’s face became more and more ugly.

After a long time, Li Xianchun gritted his teeth, burned the secret letter, then immediately got up and left the Li family and went to Courtyard No. 7.

"Master Li is visiting so late at night. I wonder if you have any advice for me?" Li Xiu sat on a chair, looking at Li Xianchun who was standing there. He had no intention of asking him to sit down, and said indifferently.

"Director Li, I, Li Xianchun, am sorry for you." Li Xianchun bowed deeply to Li Xiu, his sleeves touching the ground.

"Why is this happening, Master Li? I can't accept such a generous gift." Li Xiu pretended to be surprised.

Li Xianchun stood up and said sincerely, "Director Li, I released that information before, which had a very bad impact on you. This crime is unforgivable."

"I don't take these mere idle gossips to heart. Patriarch Li, there's no need to be like this." Li Xiu said calmly.

Li Xianchun was more certain of his guess after hearing this. He bowed to the ground again and said without raising his head, "Although this was a big mistake and I am sorry to you, Chief Li, I don't regret it at all. If I can't get those other big families to retreat, my Li family will have no chance at all. Only in this way can my Li family have a glimmer of hope."

"Why don't I understand a word that Master Li says?" Li Xiu said in a cold voice.

"Director Li, please take a look at this first. This is the sincerity of my Li family and also our apology to you." Li Xianchun said as he placed a list in front of Li Xiu.

Li Xiu took a look at the list. The first few items were already shocking enough, especially the words on the first line. Even Li Xiu was a little surprised.

"Two bottles...of liquid truth..." Li Xiu slowly raised his head and looked at Li Xianchun.

Few people knew what the Liquid of Truth was, but Li Xiu was not one of them.

Li Xiu had witnessed the power of the Liquid of Truth from Li Changyin. It was a treasure that could allow the cast soul to possess the exclusive power of truth at the god level.

With a bottle of liquid of truth, one can possess power comparable to that of a god in a short period of time.

Li Changyin has fully demonstrated the horror of the liquid of truth. Although it has many flaws compared to the real god, it is still shocking enough.

Originally, Li Xiu thought that it would be good enough for the Li family to have one bottle of that stuff.

Even if there was some left, it should be with Li Changyin. I didn't expect that after Li Changyin passed away, the Li family still had two bottles of truth liquid.

"Yes, two bottles of truth liquid. If Director Li is willing, I am willing to exchange them for your divine gem." Li Xianchun said, staring into Li Xiu's eyes.

Although he was 80% to 90% sure that Li Xiu did have the divine gem in his hands, he still had a trace of doubt, so he only brought the list instead of the liquid of truth directly. If he found anything wrong, he would never let the liquid of truth fall into Li Xiu's hands.

"Master Li is indeed sincere, but unfortunately, as you said, I don't have the divine gem." Li Xiu said lightly.

"Four bottles of truth liquid. My Li family has given us everything we have. I hope President Li will help me." Li Xianchun knew that it was useless to say anything now. He could only use the greatest benefit to impress Li Xiu.

"Are there really four bottles of liquid of truth?" Li Xiu was quite surprised. The Li family's financial resources were even richer than he had imagined.

"If not, how dare I come to see you?" Li Xianchun said.

Li Xiu pondered in silence. The value of the four bottles of liquid of truth, plus those other things, theoretically definitely exceeded the value of the divine gem.

The reason why the value of the divine gem is so high is that it is too rare, too difficult to obtain, and many people need it, so it is hard to get one.

If there are more god-level beings in the future, the value of the god-level gems will become lower and lower.

Of course, that is all a matter for the future. Right now, the value of the divine gem is still higher than these things.

However, the divine gem cannot be used immediately, but the liquid of truth can immediately allow a person to possess the power of truth. Its value depends on the situation.

Seeing that Li Xiu seemed to be somewhat tempted, Li Xianchun gritted his teeth and said, "If Chief Li is willing to exchange, my Li family also has a complete set of corpse materials of gods and demons, which I will give to you as an apology for my rude behavior."
