After the meeting ended, when Chen Xingming arrived at the Tang Family Building and saw Old Master Tang, he was completely stunned. Although Tang Ning had told him about the pills on the way, he was still skeptical.
"What? Don't you remember what I looked like back then?" Old Tang sat in his chair, took a sip of tea, and smiled.
"No...no, teacher, you...you..." Chen Xingming stammered as he came to his senses.
It turns out the two were teacher and student. Very few people in the entire alliance knew this. In public, Chen Xingming always addressed him as Old Tang instead of teacher, in order not to expose their relationship. The reason he was able to take up the position of head of the Shanghai military was actually with Old Tang's help. It can be said that he was actually a member of the Tang family.
"Xingming, how about it? Do I look about the same as you now?" Old Tang got up and walked over.
"It's actually true! That's wonderful, teacher!" Chen Xingming exclaimed excitedly.
"Haha, alright, sit down and let's talk." Old Tang smiled, took the other person's hand, and led them back to the sofa.
Tang Ning happily poured tea for the two of them.
"It's unbelievable that there really is a drug that can make people young again."
"I'm quite surprised myself," Old Tang sighed.
"Teacher, I'm afraid we can't keep this a secret any longer." Chen Xingming's expression was somewhat grave.
"Of course it can't be hidden."
"Ning'er, has Mr. Li given any instructions?" Chen Xingming asked Tang Ning.
Tang Ning shook her head slightly and said softly.
“No, he gave me the pills directly without saying anything about hiding anything, and he didn’t seem to care. Also… also…” Tang Ning paused for a moment as she spoke.
"Say anything else, there are no outsiders here," Old Tang said.
"I heard some information, but I didn't dare tell you before," Tang Ning said, looking at her grandfather with some hesitation.
The two of them looked at Tang Ning with great curiosity.
"Speak."
“Mr. Li doesn’t seem as young as he looks. I heard from that person named Saitama that Mr. Li’s lifespan is infinite,” Tang Ning said slowly.
"..." The two were stunned for a moment.
"You didn't hear me wrong? Infinite?" Chen Xingming asked hurriedly.
"Yes, there's no mistake, I was right there at the time." Tang Ning nodded.
"Teacher, this..."
"Alas, it seems we underestimated them. Putting that aside for now, this person is absolutely not to be offended," Old Tang sighed.
"I'll talk about this after I see him. I called you here to ask about Europe."
Chen Xingming quickly sat up straight.
"Teacher, do you remember Stratholme from back then? That three-attribute melee fighter, he's here this time too, saying he wants to exchange ideas, and he's already reached S-rank."
"Oh, it really is him, an S-rank? Impressive, looks like he's here to show off." Old Tang nodded.
"He seems to be about the same age as Ning'er, right?" Old Tang looked at Tang Ning.
"Yes, my granddaughter has embarrassed you." Tang Ning said, somewhat disappointed.
The old man waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and asked.
Did they explain how the challenge would be conducted?
"Three days later, they arrived in Shanghai. Right there in the city square, anyone could challenge him, including the older generation of superhumans."
"Wow, so arrogant."
"He has an arrogant trump card."
"It's a pity that Xiao Kui has just awakened, otherwise, hmph," Old Tang said coldly.
"Ning'er, let's go, we'll head to the outer city now." Old Tang suddenly stood up.
"Now?" Tang Ning was taken aback.
"I think Mr. Li would be interested in this news," Old Tang said with a slight smile.
The Li family in the outer city.
Looking at the mountain of supplies piled up in the yard and the two supply trucks parked outside, Li Yuan was speechless with astonishment.
"This is too much."
“This is Miss’s request, Mr. Li. May I ask where to put these things?” a man in a suit asked.
“This…” Li Yuan couldn’t help but look at Li Daoyi.
"You're welcome," Li Daoyi smiled.
"My house can't hold it all," Li Yuan said with a wry smile.
"Don't worry, we've already bought the surrounding yards, you can store your things there," the man in the black suit replied.
Soon, the houses around the Li family's home were turned into temporary warehouses, filled with all kinds of food, and even refrigerated containers.
"Wow, I want to eat, I want to eat, hurry, hurry, so much meat!" Mengmeng looked at the ingredients laid out in the yard and became excited.
After moving the things, the servants of the Li family left immediately. Li Yuan composed himself and hurriedly went to make something to eat. He knew that everything he was doing now was because of Li Daoyi and the others; otherwise, how could the Li family possibly look up to a commoner like him?
Mengmeng hopped and skipped around in the yard, occasionally peeking into the kitchen. She looked just like a hungry little kitten, which was very cute.
"Heave-ho, heave-ho, brother, when are we going to catch alien beasts? I think fresh ones taste better," Mengmeng asked, jumping into Li Daoyi's arms.
Li Daoyi raised his head and looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the atmosphere and reaching into the distant void of the universe.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you eat your fill from now on," Li Daoyi said, turning his gaze away and stroking the little guy's hair.
"whee."
"We have guests. Xiao Kui, prepare some tea." Li Daoyi said to Xiao Kui at this moment.
"Guests?" Xiao Kui looked at the empty doorway in confusion.
Just then, an aircraft flew in from a distance.
Xiao Kui stuck out her tongue and quickly went into her room to make tea, realizing she shouldn't have doubted him.
The aircraft slowly descended, and Tang Ning and the other two stepped off.
"Is this the place? It's quite a charming little courtyard." Old Tang looked at the Li family's house.
Then the others came in, and Li Daoyi sat in a chair, smiling slightly as he looked at the three of them.
"Greetings, Mr. Li." Old Tang and General Chen stepped forward quickly.
"Hmm, how are you feeling?"
"Thank you for the medicine. I feel great now. Being young is wonderful," Old Tang said excitedly.
“Psychic abilities require strong mental strength to control; otherwise, they will only harm you. You are quite good at resisting the temptation of such a powerful ability; otherwise, you would not have lived past forty,” Li Daoyi said slowly.
"What you say is true. After I discovered my superpowers, I felt invincible and could control everything. But I soon discovered the drawbacks. Alas, everyone knows I have super S-level superpowers, but who knows that it is a double-edged sword?" Old Tang sighed.
"Let's get down to business. You've come here for more than just to thank me."
“Yes, sir. The Europa Alliance will be arriving in Shanghai in three days. They have produced an S-rank genius named Stratholme, who possesses three superpowers. He is coming to challenge all the superpowered individuals in Shanghai. I wonder if you would be interested?” Old Tang said hurriedly.
"The Europa League?" Li Daoyi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yes." General Chen nodded.
"What is the state of the alliance between your two companies?"
"To be honest, if it weren't for the alien beasts, the ambitious Europa would definitely have devoured China," General Chen said coldly.
“Sir, thousands of years ago, before the world order changed, the countries that were the precursors to Europe were targeting us in every way, and that’s still the case now. Several times alien beasts have invaded China, and we suspect that they are the ones who are interfering,” General Chen continued.
"Did you bring what I asked for?" Li Daoyi asked Tang Ning.
Tang Ning quickly took out something that looked like a tablet computer and handed it over.
"All the information about alien beasts is in there."
"Mm." Li Daoyi nodded.
"Don't worry, it's just Europa, nothing to worry about. I'll have Saitama take care of it," Li Daoyi said slowly.
"Mr. Saitama?" The three of them were taken aback, then looked at the bald man who was peering into the kitchen with Mengmeng not far away. He didn't seem like a reliable person at all.
The kitchen was filled with delicious aromas, and the two kids, one big and one small, were practically drooling.
"Cough cough..." Li Daoyi coughed twice.
"Eeya?"
"Well?"
Mengmeng and Qiyu quickly turned around.
"Look at yourselves, aren't you ashamed?" Li Daoyi said helplessly.
"Hehe, I'm hungry." Mengmeng ran over and snuggled into Li Daoyi's arms, acting cute.
Saitama also walked over with an awkward smile.
“Saitama, in a few days, someone is coming to challenge Shanghai. They want your help,” Li Daoyi said, looking at Saitama.
"Oh? A challenge? No problem, it's just one punch," Saitama said nonchalantly.
"One punch?" The three of them immediately frowned, thinking he was exaggerating.
"Mr. Saitama, the opponent is a three-elemental ability user; physical attacks are useless," Tang Ning reminded him.
“Elements are not invincible. When their power reaches a certain level, they can even shatter space itself, so don’t be reckless,” Li Daoyi said slowly, looking at Tang Ning.
“I…” Tang Ning was slightly taken aback.
“What you say makes sense, sir. Then I’ll leave it to Mr. Saitama,” Old Tang said with a smile.
"Um, there's one more thing I'd like to ask for your help with, sir." Chen Xingming glanced towards the kitchen.
"You want Xiao Kui to join the military?" Li Daoyi smiled slightly.
"Yes."
"That depends on her own wishes; I won't interfere."
Upon hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. There were two reasons for trying to win over Xiao Kui: firstly, she was exceptionally talented, and secondly, because of Li Daoyi. They could tell that he really liked Xiao Kui, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed at his house for so long.
"Sir, what should I say if anyone asks about the elixir?" Old Tang finally got to the point. Compared to Europa's provocation, it seemed insignificant in the face of this divine medicine. He was now eager to know what the other party was thinking.
"These pills are nothing to me; I have as many as I want, so you don't need to hide it from me."
After Li Daoyi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and countless white pills instantly appeared in the air, causing the three of them to widen their eyes in surprise.
Furthermore, the three of them discovered that these pills contained different kinds of eyes. The one that Elder Tang had eaten before was white, while there were many gold and purple ones among these pills.
"This one can increase lifespan by a thousand years, and this one can increase lifespan by three thousand years," Li Daoyi said, pointing to the golden and purple pills.
The three of them were breathing rapidly, their eyes gradually losing focus, and their worldviews were completely shattered.
"Heave-ho!" With a swift movement, Mengmeng grabbed a handful of pills from the air.
"Click".
"Smack, smack."
The little guy ate them like candy.
"It's not even as good as fruit," the little guy muttered after eating a few.
"Thump." Old Tang came to his senses and immediately knelt down on one knee.
"Old Tang."
"grandfather."
"Kneel down," Old Tang snapped.
Chen Xingming and Tang Ning dared not disobey and immediately knelt down.
Li Daoyi watched the scene unfold with great interest.
Old Tang was an extremely shrewd man. The fact that the other party had displayed so many pills contained a lot of information. "To subdue" was the first word that came to Old Tang's mind.
