Martial Emperor Reborn Vol 1 Chapter 48

At this moment, Li Xuan was watching every with a cold eye, while Li Yun still hadn’t gotten heads or tails of what had just happened.

She did not know that the enormity of the portion of soul force Li Xuan hid from her was enough to frighten two experts of the Allan Auction House. Furthermore, once that soul force was restored to one hundred percent of its strength, it could even exert a devastatingly withering force on the spirits of most 5th Xing experts.

Therefore, unless the opposing party wished to die, they definitely would not casually take action for fear of provoking wrath!

In addition, although only ten percent of Li Xuan’s soul force had been recovered, under his full-on offensive, he could undoubtedly cause Yatuo’s spirit to collapse into pieces.

After blowing up the opposing party’s spirit, the other person’s cultivation was virtually crippled. Although better medicines would be able to recover the person’s cultivation, for a person of the 5th Xing realm to recover, medicines of at least the 5-star grade were required! At least 5-star upper grade medicines! Medicine like this was said not to exist in Iris City. However, even if it did, absolutely no one would know about it!

This was because a medicine like that was equivalent to an additional lifeline for a 5th Xing envoy! Once people were aware of it, it would definitely be a world-shaking revelation! Foul wind and b.l.o.o.d.y rain would occur at the slightest pretext, while blood would flow in rivers!

Towards this Manton Clan, Li Xuan did not have a very good impression. As such, he decided that for a clan like this, as long as he reached 5th Xing 1st layer or recovered around sixty percent of his soul, he would annihilate it!

If he just left it alone, a clan like that would become a disaster to him.

That ‘marriage contract’ or whatever was probably made just in case Li Yun recovered, and as a simple primer. If she did indeed recover, such a marriage contract would truly become a primer, and the Manton Clan would be able to grab ahold of Li Yun. It could be that Tainuo would be able to take her as a wife, and at that time, Siyu would have already s.n.a.t.c.hed Li Xuan up. By then, they would have two geniuses in their grasps.

In addition, even if Li Yun was still not okay, their method of doing things would still appear to be an act of benevolence, cheris.h.i.+ng old affections. Meanwhile, it would also win Li Xuan’s heart. Once Siyu had Li Xuan in the palm of her hand, and the Li Clan fell under Li Xuan’s control, then….

How could Li Xuan fail to think of these things? In truth, Li Xuan also knew that even if something really happened to the past Li Xuan (TL: Lisa lover), Siyu would still take action to save him. After ensnaring him into deep infatuation, by using s.e.xual entrapments and letting Li Xuan demonstrate his strength to attain status within the Li Clan, a marriage alliance would result between the two clans. It was killing two birds with one stone….

Regardless of whether their plans failed or not, there were ultimately no disadvantages towards the Manton Clan. However, if the plan did succeed, even if it was just a tiny step, the Manton Clan would still obtain unlimited benefits!

After all, everybody was aware of how ‘generous’ Li Xuan was to Lisa!

As Li Xuan calculated in his heart and understood what was going on, he relayed his a.n.a.lysis to Li Yun, and once she heard him, she immediately grew infuriated.

“Shameless and petty! These people are truly wolves with a savage heart! It was only because I was so blind at the beginning that I actually thought him to be a pretty good person!” Li Yun exclaimed aggrievedly and angrily in her heart.

“Auntie, rest a.s.sured. These people won’t be able to jump around much longer.”

“En, Auntie believes you. But Xuan Er, are you seriously going to get together with that woman? I can feel that you absolutely despise people arranging your marriages.” After pondering a while, Li Yun finally asked.

“En, on top of being annoying, it’s loathsome. However, don’t you think that it would be good if we could use this woman against the Manton Clan?”

“Xuan Er, don’t deceive yourself. Although this woman looks sincere, she’s not easy to deal with. It’s not as simple as you imagine it to be!”

“Don’t worry, Auntie. Soon, I will prepare to run a few tests and experiments. Once they succeed, I will let these people know exactly how capable I am and trample them!”

“Xuan Er, your innate talent is extremely important. Right now, many people eye you covetously, and you can’t be careless. If something is especially dangerous, you must not do it.”

“Rest a.s.sured, Auntie….”

“Li Xuan, this is a 4-star lower grade fire system magic robe. It just happens to match well with your fire element cultivation, and I’m sure it will complement you will. Just think of what just happened as me, Yatuo, being a bit rude. I hope you are not offended. You also know that at our age, there will always be times that I am a bit irascible.”

“Alright, then this young master will humbly accept it, and we will just leave the matter at this. As for the marriage contract, you all may arrange it however you see fit. I have no suggestions.”

“Good! If so, this is wonderful! Hahahahaha!” Yatuo immediately replied in delight.

“En, this is the best way!” At this moment, Huyan Weike also laughed. He was naturally aware of Li Xuan’s fiendish nature, and if anybody arranged a marriage for him, they would fear his displeasure and failure to give face. Huyan Weike had never imagined that after this ruckus, the engagement would proceed.

Huyan Weike still did not quite dare to believe it, but then he remembered how previously, Yatuo’s expression had suddenly turned pale. Looking back at Li Xuan, a thoughtful expression slid into his face.

“It seems that Li Xuan’s growth is not limited to merely this. Behind him, there is probably an exceedingly powerful teacher supporting him. That expert, is it *Teacher whom I have not seen for twenty-some years? Perhaps Teacher has taken an interest in his talent?”
(*TL: 恩师 – connotation of great respect)

As Huyan Weike made this conjecture, he felt that the possibility was quite large. This was because that year, his teacher had constantly sighed emotionally, saying how good it would have been had he had 7th Xing monarch innate talent…. Now that he thought about it, that powerful, old Teacher from the Distant Sea had clearly already secretly taken Li Xuan as a disciple. This way, he and Li Xuan were fellow disciples….

It was no wonder he felt this way. At times, Huyan Weike would feel a familiar tyrannical spirit force fluctuating that reminded him of his teacher. Definitely, it was most definitely like this.

Thinking that he had figured it out, Huyan Weike’s gaze toward Li Xuan contained an even higher degree of closeness.

In any case, this affair had started due to the marriage contract with Siyu as well as Li Yun’s situation. Now that it was resolved, there was no need to talk much about allying to secure positions to go to the Wade Inst.i.tute. They would naturally cooperate wholeheartedly.

Like this, after exchanging a few formalities, Yatuo and his companions left. Huyan Weike, on the other hand, undertook the responsibility of overseeing the courtyard, while the black-garbed woman in charge of protecting Li Xuan continued to guard near Li Xuan’s cultivation ground. She still had not officially appeared.

When everybody had left, Li Xuan’s heart breathed a sigh of immense relief.

He did not like a very raucous environment, because while he was not afraid of such a situation, he was unaccustomed to it. Now that everybody had left, only Shuang Er, Gina, Siyu, and Li Ru were left in the courtyard.

“Elder Brother, I do not want to fuss over any conflicts with you. After all, you are still my elder brother, and are about to get married to Big Sister Siyu. I hope that you two will be blessed, but if you treat me that way again in the future or treat Big Sister Siyu badly, Ru’er will not forgive Elder Brother.”

Li Ru contemplated in silence for a long time before gathering the courage to walk to Li Xuan’s side and tell him this.

“Ru’er, I’m sorry.”

Li Xuan extended a hand out to rub Li Ru’s head, his heart swelling.

Yet at this moment, both Li Ru and Siyu felt a strange feeling bubble up when they heard Li Xuan’s words.

This wicked Li Xuan could also apologize? Did they hear wrongly or something?
