Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Desperate Lin Yuanyuan

Cheng Dongliang shook his head and chuckled at himself, saying, “Don’t mind them; they’ve been in the military too long and have grown arrogant.”

Li Xiaoyao didn’t care about this. If he were to become angry over such trivial matters all the time, wouldn’t he have no time for cultivation?

“Elder Cheng, one day, you will be grateful for the choice you’ve made today.” He smiled faintly, paying no heed to the confusion in Cheng Dongliang’s eyes, and walked slowly towards the outside of the pit. With his right hand, he casually performed a few incantations, then turned back and said, “I promised you a grand gift, now take a look and see if this present suits your taste.”

Full of confusion, Cheng Dongliang came over and looked down, only to see darkness and more darkness.

“There’s nothing?”

Li Xiaoyao calmly said, “If my guess is correct, since I left yesterday, only two people have come out of this pit.”

“That’s indeed the case.”

“The cultivators below have likely run out of strength after a day and a night. You can round them up for the state’s use.” This was Li Xiaoyao’s grand gift to him: over a hundred living cultivators, each with commendable cultivation levels.

Cheng Dongliang’s eyes lit up, then he frowned and asked, “Would they be willing?”

“Unwilling?” Li Xiaoyao looked at him with a strange expression and said, “If they’re unwilling, just kill them. If you don’t have the courage to do that, then you don’t deserve this grand gift.”

His face reddening at Li Xiaoyao’s words, Cheng Dongliang asked, “Have you considered how you will face the Li Family?”

“Didn’t you say that the state is my strongest backer? Do I need to worry about just one Li Family?”

Cheng Dongliang had no comeback, and Li Xiaoyao said, “I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first. The cultivators below will come up soon, whether you kill them or keep them, that’s for you to decide. Oh, and tell your men not to go down there, or if something happens, I won’t take responsibility.”

“Xiaoyao!” Cheng Dongliang called out from behind, saying, “If you have time this weekend, come to the military to help me train those kids.”

Without looking back, Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and said, “We’ll talk about it then.”

…

The enormous green serpent demon beast had appeared only once and then never showed up again, as if it had disappeared from this world.

And after the discovery of the Spirit Stone Vein in the area frequented by demon beasts, hundreds of cultivators coveted it.

It is said that on that day, a conflict arose between the military and the cultivators, resulting in countless casualties among the cultivators.

As for the final outcome, the state enlisted those cultivators who had intruded into the Spirit Stone Vein, and two powerful cultivators were added to the state’s blacklist.

All this news was deliberately leaked by the state to deter cultivators aiming to exploit the Spirit Stone Vein.

The citizens of Ling City gradually returned, and the state set a rather generous compensation standard. They decided to rebuild the site into a park.

Recently, Xiaoqing had been staying in her room every day. Li Xiaoyao needed to leave Ling City for a while and told her about it. She appeared indifferent.

“I may be gone for a few days. If you have any issues during these days, go up and find my cousin; she can handle it.”

After giving a few instructions, Li Xiaoyao took the elevator downstairs.

From the information he got from Cheng Dongliang, Lin Yuanyuan was scheduled to be wed to Lin Langtian, and the wedding would be held tomorrow.

Li Xiaoyao knew all too well what kind of person Lin Langtian was.

The man was narrow-minded, extremely arrogant, and full of himself.

Ever since his cultivation level was crippled by Li Xiaoyao, Lin Langtian was no different from an ordinary person. Such a man would certainly not catch Lin Yuanyuan’s fancy.

Using his common sense, Li Xiaoyao could guess that in this marriage, Lin Yuanyuan was definitely the passive party.

The wedding was held at the Seven Swords Sect, officiated by the Great Elder of the Seven Swords Sect.

If this had been in the past, no marriage within the Lin Family would ever take place at the Seven Swords Sect.

But times have changed; after the death of Fang Han, the Sect Leader of the Seven Swords Sect, the sect’s status could no longer return to what it once was.

The Lin Family also had a significant position in Lu Province, and drawing closer ties with them would obviously benefit the Seven Swords Sect.

After all, a large sect needs funds to maintain its operations.

The Seven Swords Sect was located on Beigu Mountain in Yunzhong City of Lu Province, where the spiritual energy was dense and fog swirled around like an Immortal Realm.

In a room, Lin Yuanyuan sat in the living room, expressionless as she stared at Lin Langtian before her.

“I will not marry you,” Lin Yuanyuan said calmly, yet with an unwavering determination.

Lin Langtian sneered with a hint of anger, “Whether you marry or not is not for you to decide.”

“Even in death, I will never marry you.” Lin Yuanyuan went from initial anger to cold helplessness, and now, to utter despair.

The core of the Lin Family were those with Spirit Roots, the Cultivators. As for her, she was just an ordinary woman of the Lin Family, and who she married was just a matter of the Elders’ words.

Even though her father Lin Qianjun had earned tens and hundreds of billions for the family, he was still humble as dust before the Cultivators.

Lin Yuanyuan was angry; she could not change the status quo, nor could she break free from the massive entity that was the Lin Family.

“Death is easy, but if you dare commit suicide, I will kill your parents as well and let them accompany you to the grave,” Lin Langtian said with a grim look. “Don’t believe me? Just try.”

“Bastard!” Lin Yuanyuan shook with rage, the first time in her life she had been threatened like this.

Lin Langtian stood up, walked over to her, leaned down beside Lin Yuanyuan’s ear, and whispered softly, “I’ve said it before, sooner or later, I’ll have you beneath me, to play with you viciously. That day is coming soon, and tomorrow night, you’ll get to enjoy it.”

Lin Yuanyuan pursed her red lips tightly, her gaze filled with resentment as she stared at Lin Langtian, tears streaming down, yet she never bowed her head.

“Hmph, we’ll see if you’re still so proud when you share the bridal chamber with me tomorrow night!” Flicking his sleeves, Lin Langtian turned and left the room.

Once Lin Langtian had left, Lin Yuanyuan could no longer hold back the sorrow in her heart and burst into tears.

“Li Xiaoyao, you bastard, you big bastard!” Lin Yuanyuan squatted on the ground, hugging her knees, feeling somewhat desperate.

…

Li Xiaoyao drove to Yunzhong City and checked into a local hotel.

He didn’t head straight for Beigu Mountain—there was no rush since the wedding wasn’t until tomorrow.

Moreover, Li Xiaoyao needed to gather some information about the Seven Swords Sect in advance.

It’s true that the Sect Leader of the Seven Swords Sect had died at the hands of Jiang Lichun, but even a dying camel is larger than a horse. The Seven Swords Sect has been established for over a hundred years, and its foundation was indeed not weak.

“Ding dong!”

The doorbell rang, and with a swing of his arm, Li Xiaoyao opened the room door.

A man in his thirties, wearing a suit, stood outside the door, his posture erect with the unmistaken aura of a soldier.
