Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 792 - Fight Violence with Violence
Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Fight Violence with Violence [Second Update] Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Fight Violence with Violence [Second Update] Li Xiaoyao suddenly discovered a rather pleasant surprise.
Without employing the Divine Invocation Technique or other martial arts that can increase his cultivation level in a short time, he could elevate his cultivation to the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm whenever he wished.
Yes, from the sixth rank of the Spirit Condensation Realm, directly to its peak, and without any side effects.
To ordinary people, this seemed inconceivable, but for Li Xiaoyao, it was genuinely feasible.
The reason for this increase was, of course, because Li Xiaoyao himself possessed such a cultivation level, but the System had chosen to temporarily suppress his cultivation to the sixth rank of the Spirit Condensation Realm.
Although his cultivation level was suppressed, the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm was Li Xiaoyao’s true strength.
If he wished, he could enter this realm at any time.
...
However, Li Xiaoyao usually would not enter the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm; such an opportunity to instantly advance by five ranks should be reserved for combating enemies.
The foundation of his cultivation should still be built steadily, step by step.
But this sealed fifth rank realm could serve as a powerful trump card.
As time ticked by second after second, it was evening by the time Xiao Ya’s phone call came again.
The two arranged to meet at a teahouse, and Li Xiaoyao set out as soon as he hung up.
The teahouse was in the North Third Ring, quite close by, so Li Xiaoyao, traveling light and not taking a cab, jogged all the way there, arriving in just twenty minutes.
The teahouse was upscale, a fact readily apparent from the luxury cars parked outside.
Li Xiaoyao still wore a black robe, his long hair flowing down his back, his countenance a mixture of tenderness and firmness, with deep, inscrutable eyes, exuding an indescribable charm from the inside out.
A few women who immediately appeared to be mistresses glanced sideways, captivated by Li Xiaoyao. They whispered among themselves, their eyes fixed on him.

Li Xiaoyao ignored the others and found the seat number left by Xiao Ya.
The spot was on the second floor, by the window, offering a nice view. Opposite was a cluster of high-end malls, exuding modernity from every angle.
“Why the sudden desire to drink tea?” Li Xiaoyao sat down, caught her little hand, and toyed with it in his palm, his voice and demeanor filled with teasing.
Xiao Ya’s brows held a trace of worry, which Li Xiaoyao discerned quite well. His eyebrows lifted as he asked, “Something the matter?”
Xiao Ya shook her head, then nodded, “The higher-ups called me for a meeting today.”
“Higher-ups?” Li Xiaoyao paused for a few seconds, then asked immediately, “What level?”
“Vice-ministerial.”
There aren’t so many coincidences in the world. As various pieces of information intersected, Li Xiaoyao immediately guessed that the higher-ups’ reason for seeking out Xiao Ya was probably related to the Tang Family.
As for why the higher-ups chose this time to meet with Xiao Ya, it was undoubtedly related to Wu Xuan.
“Something to do with the Tang Family?” To be safe, Li Xiaoyao still needed to clarify. Otherwise, a misunderstanding would not be enjoyable.
“Mhm,” Xiao Ya nodded, seemingly with much to say that had been kept in her heart, now finally finding an outlet, she burst out, “Ever since you told me to take over the Tang and Zheng families, troubles have never ceased. Jindu has seen several groups of people come one after the other, all eyeing their assets.”
Li Xiaoyao tightened his grip on her hand; for the first time, he felt that he had been too careless.
He had always thought that killing the Tang Family Head that day would serve as a deterrent, at least preventing major mishaps during Xiao Ya’s assimilation of the Tang Family. Now, however, it seemed he knew too little about the internal affairs of Xuan Country.
Moreover, back then, his cultivation level was not strong.
And to put it bluntly, even now, his cultivation at the Spirit Condensation Realm is still not enough to deter those greedy fellows.
In Jindu, where hidden dragons and crouching tigers abound, even those from the Spirit Condensation Realm have to tread carefully; they can’t make much of a splash.
In the end, he had overestimated himself and underestimated these big shots.
People with overwhelming power are not few in Jindu. A wave of businesspeople passed down from before, a wave of generals, a wave of Martial Arts Grandmasters, and another wave of cultivators.
They have profound backgrounds and the backing of Xuan Country; let’s not even talk about a Spirit Condensation cultivator like Li Xiaoyao. Even Nascent Soul Realm Venerables, or even Divine Refining Realm Venerables, wouldn’t dare cause trouble in Jindu.
Since ancient times, scholars have sown chaos through their words, and knights-errant have committed crimes with their martial prowess.
Emperors of past dynasties would always raise a group of strong individuals around them, leading to the creation of the Imperial Guards, Jinyiwei, the Imperial Forest Army, Dong Chang…
These were the powerful entities that the emperors used to intimidate the individual strengths within the populace. Sometimes, countering violence with violence can produce a better deterrent effect.
In modern times, such groups still exist.
It is precisely because of these groups that the authorities maintain absolute dignity, preventing the sects and organizations of the civilian realm from becoming too arrogant.
Clearly, Li Xiaoyao understood this as well, but what he did not expect was that these forces, initially meant to protect the nation and intimidate civilian powers, would one day become the means for these individuals to exercise private powers.
“Have you already met that person?”
Xiao Ya shook her head, “No, he asked me to go singing tonight.”
“Singing?” If before Li Xiaoyao was like a simmering lion, upon hearing this, he immediately transformed into an enraged tiger.
Nighttime. Singing.
These two terms combined clearly revealed the other person’s intentions.
“Quite bold indeed, aiming for the Tang family and also wanting Li Xiaoyao’s woman.” Li Xiaoyao’s voice was cold, and although he was smiling, Xiao Ya could see the unmistakable killing intent.
“I’ll accompany you,” Li Xiaoyao said, patting her hand.
Xiao Ya said with some self-reproach, “Xiaoyao, I’m sorry, I’m not good at anything.”
Li Xiaoyao smiled warmly, “Silly girl, what are you talking about? This is my fault. I’ve paid too little attention to you all, busy with my own affairs all day. I admit my mistake. Whatever punishment you want tonight, I won’t say a word against it.”
“You big bully, always picking on me,” Xiao Ya’s cheeks flushed, and her eyes held a captivating allure that made Li Xiaoyao itch.
“Let’s deal with business first. Tonight, I’ll show you how I’ll deal with you, you little enchantress,” Li Xiaoyao said with a mischievous smile, his hand slipping down and pinching her soft waist.
The two stood up, paid the bill, and went downstairs.
Xiao Ya’s car was a red Tesla, fully electric and pollution-free.
“What made you think of buying this car?” As they got into the car, Li Xiaoyao was impressed by the fine interior and ample space, “Really nice.”
Starting the car, Xiao Ya spoke while reversing, “Some second-generation official was dealing with this stuff. Gave him face by buying one. It’s not too expensive anyway, and the country is calling for energy conservation and resource release, isn’t it? It’s to support the call and contribute to air purification.”
Half an hour later, the car stopped in Sanlitun. Getting out, Xiao Ya pointed at a KTV occupying almost an entire building ahead, “That’s the place.”
