After finishing speaking, Li Xing's expression was calm, as if he didn't see Li Ce's slightly sinking face, and gently put the cup in his hand back on the table.

Li Ce stared into his eyes tightly and asked in a deep voice, "You have already chosen other forces?"

There is no other possibility than this reason.

"Not really. Li Xing shook his head.

"No......" Li Ce's expression eased slightly, but the doubts in his heart became more and more intense, "Then why did you refuse?"

"There's no reason for that. Li Xing said softly: "Because I just want to live a peaceful life." ”

Deathly silence.

Li Ce's expression froze on his face, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Li Xing with astonishment in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. Li Xing took the teapot and began to refill the tea for himself, "Everything in the world, those strife and killings, I don't have the slightest interest, of course, including the resources there. Maybe it's really a paradise for the awakened, but not me. ”

Whether it is the inner world or the table world, Li Xing has no interest in everything.

At least at this stage.

Originally, when he was in Bingtia, he constantly pursued stronger power in order to kill Marcus and avenge his father and himself. After returning to China, the pursuit of stronger martial arts is because he has been in a state of physical alienation and is always facing threats to his life.

And now, the revenge is early, as for the alienation of the body - "state: physical alienation...... 0.01% (terminated). ”

When the ultimate external power [Ba Gang] is fused to Dacheng, the alienation rate on the status bar begins to decrease wildly, until it drops to 0.01%, and the status of terminated is displayed.

In other words, from now on, Li Xing will not be bothered by the alienation of his physical body, and he will no longer have to worry about the day when he will suddenly distort and become a disgusting monster without self.

All he wants to do next is to go back to real life and do some of the things he wants to do, such as spending more time with his family, such as exploring the connection between "dreams" and reality, or retrieving memories that he once lost in Tenkyo City...... Wait.

Of course, when doing all this, Li Xing will not be as eager as before, after all, there is no longer the oppression of death, and he has a lot of time to take his time.

After adding tea, put down the delicate little teapot.

He didn't know tea ceremony etiquette or anything, and the cup was full of tea that was about to overflow, and then he took the cup and drank it in one gulp.

Li Ce shook his head and said slowly: "This joke is very cold. ”

"I'm not kidding. Li Xing said lightly.

Li Ce was silent again, his brows furrowed, staring at Li Xing's eyes, as if he could see Li Xing's true thoughts through here.

"What would you think if Lee Lago appeared in front of you and told you that he just wanted to live a peaceful life from now on?" he said suddenly.

Lee Lago, the most notorious super-terrorist criminal of the last century, has organized many terrorist acts, the most famous of which is the hijacking of a large passenger plane and crashing into the World Trade Center of the Star Alliance Federation, directly killing more than 3,000 people and shocking the whole world.

Although he was soon arrested by the Star Alliance Federation and shot in public, everything he did still had a huge impact.

Li Xing thought about it seriously for a while, and replied truthfully: "I will treat his words as a joke, and then pinch him to death." ”

"Everything you've done in the past twelve hours is worse than his!" Li Ce said coldly.

It first attacked a country's defense apparatus, destroyed the country's most important military base, and then conducted a live broadcast of kidnapping in front of countless ordinary people...... Not to mention the huge number of casualties caused, the level of recklessness shown alone is far from being matched by Lee Lago.

When compared to a notorious terrorist criminal like Lee Lago, Li Xing did not show any irritation, let alone refute it.

He just glanced at Li Ce and said calmly, "I'm serious." ”

Li Ce didn't know what to say anymore, and there was even some confusion in his eyes for the first time.

“...... Don't you want to pursue stronger power?" he couldn't help but ask after a long time.

"Why go for more power. Li Xing didn't answer him, but asked rhetorically, "Is this necessarily related to the peaceful life I want?"

Li Ce opened his mouth to answer: "Because ......"

"Even if there is a connection. Before he could finish speaking, Li Xing said again: "I want to ask you, with my current strength, is there still an existence in the world that can easily threaten my life?" ”

Li Ce frowned slightly, and said slowly: "It's really not." ”

The restrictions of the table world are extremely strong, and the C-level is already the top existence, the number is scarce, and the combat power is terrifying.

With Li Xing's strength to easily crush Amos and others, even if it is not the top existence in the C-level (Li Ce's perspective), it is not much worse, there must be people who are stronger than him, but if it comes to a strong person who can easily threaten his life, it is absolutely non-existent.

'Nevertheless...... It's just that this guy is really satisfied with his current strength and has no higher pursuits?'

Li Ce regained his composure, looked at Li Xing calmly, and thought to himself.

He thought to himself that it would be absolutely impossible if he were to be himself.

"In this world, it's not that you don't want to cause trouble, and trouble won't come to you. He thought about it for a moment, ready to convince the other party from a different angle.

"Because of your high-profile performance in Setinsia and many power organizations have already set their sights on you, it won't be long before the news of Amos' death spreads, and many people will know that you have more than one secret weapon in your hands.

When the time comes, whether it takes a fancy to your strength to win you over, or covets the secret weapon on your body to plot against you...... All kinds of people will follow, do you think that at that time, there will be a so-called peaceful life? Even if you don't care about that, don't forget, you still have family. ”

Li Ce had already read Li Xing's relevant information in detail, and knew that Li Xing attached great importance to his two relatives, so he started from this aspect.

But Li Xing didn't react like he imagined, but smiled and said, "So, I want to ask you to grant me a small request." ”

"What request?" Li Ce was a little puzzled.

Li Xing rubbed the rim of the cup and said casually: "I think, so far, except for you, Your Majesty, Wu Xingdao and a few other people, there are no more people in the empire who know my true identity for the time being." ”

Li Ce was about to answer, when he saw a large amount of black qi suddenly appear in front of Li Xing, and quickly intertwined into a white mask with no facial features covering his face.

He knew this in his heart, and nodded: "If you mean the identity under the 'mask', there are indeed no more than ten people on the imperial side who know about it.

But before that, you attacked the Andean family and then the São Paulo family, and you didn't wear this secret weapon at that time, leaving many traces that could make it easy for the rest of the forces to guess your true identity under the 'mask'. ”

"Is that ......?"

Li Xing thought about it and found that this was indeed the case, after all, there were too many traces left by his previous actions, and it was too late to put on the mask, and it was difficult to hide his identity.

"It doesn't matter, I hope you can help me keep it a secret, so that the identity of the 'mask' is only known to these few people now, and don't let more people know my true identity. ”

As for others who want to guess, let them guess, anyway, he didn't care too much, but doing more means is better than nothing.

In fact, before and after putting on the phantom mask, there was a huge gap in the strength he showed-

The former is just equivalent to entering the C-level for the first time, and it can be compared to the level of fighting with the C-level awakened. And the latter showed the terrifying combat power that crushed everything, killed the two Amos in seconds, and was invincible.

This huge gap in strength, no matter who sees it, is more inclined to the latter to be another C-level powerhouse, and the former is not a person at all.

"Yes. Li Ce nodded.

He had a clear mind and immediately understood Li Xing's purpose in doing this.

"In addition, you must have obtained all my information, knowing that I once separated the identity of the dark world from the identity of reality through the energy of the Holy Fist Gate. Li Xing looked at him and said softly.

"The energy of the Holy Fist Gate is certainly not small, but compared to Your Majesty, it is still more than one level behind, I hope you can divide my two identities more thoroughly on the basis of the original Holy Fist Gate, and hide my true identity in reality, no problem. ”

"You can too. Li Ce nodded again.

"There is only such a small request, and nothing else. ”

Li Xing nodded slightly, and the phantom mask on his face turned into light smoke and dissipated again.

"The requirements you mentioned are very simple, and you can even say that they are a gesture. Li Ce looked at him calmly and asked, "But the question is, why should I help you? Or what are you going to give in exchange for my help?" ”

Since you don't want to go into the inner world and serve the Empire and Your Majesty, then why should I do this for you?

This is the deep meaning of Li Ce's words.

"It's simple. Li Xing smiled and said, "Use my 'Anfen'." ”

Li Ce's eyes sank slightly.

Each C-class is almost equivalent to a humanoid self-propelled missile, possessing unparalleled terrifying destructive power, and can easily cause great damage and damage to the secular society of the surface world. And for such an existence, governments almost do not have a very good means of restraint.

Therefore, all this almost depends on the self-restraint ability of the C level itself, no matter which country it is, it does not want to encounter a reckless C level, after all, even if you want to get rid of a C level, it is not so simple.

And it is this that Li Xing used in exchange, if Li Ce agreed to his request, he would naturally settle down a little in the future, otherwise, if he refused, then don't blame him for whether he would make some wanton actions in the future.

So, it's not so much an exchange as a threat.

"You won. ”

Li Ce looked at him deeply.

"Thank you very much. Li Xing smiled slightly, not caring about the other party's meaningful eyes, "Then as a thank you, I won't pursue the true ownership of the [clock]." ”

After speaking, he drank the last sip of tea in his cup, got up from his seat, picked up his black umbrella and walked out of the room.

Li Ce sat where he was and didn't move, nor did he say some polite words, just quietly watched Li Xing's departing back.

It wasn't until Li Xing left the room completely and the door closed again that he retracted his gaze, looked down at the calm tea in the cup in front of him, and said softly:

"Peaceful life...... Is that what he really thinks?"

"I don't know. ”

Except for him, in the empty room, a faint old voice suddenly sounded.

"Why? Can't you see it?"

Li Ce frowned slightly.

"He's special, he's completely different from others, his inner world is pure darkness, he can't see anything at all, I've never seen anything like it. ”

The old man's voice was filled with deep doubts and incomprehension.

"That's it. Li Ce raised his eyebrows slightly, "Maybe it's the effect of that mask." ”

"It's not a mask...... But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, don't you also hide a lot of important key information from him. ”

The old voice said.

"Huh. ”

Li Ce chuckled lightly and didn't say anything, just picked up the cup and drank the tea.
