Chapter 180, Three Souls in One
"Li Chengqian, we came to you today, not to ask you to inherit the taste of the head of the Li family, this is your responsibility as a child of the Li family." The second master of the Li family had a serious attitude, with majesty in his tone, and he continued, "I don't know what you really think, but I know that you are very close to the Chu family, but you have to think about it carefully, after all, your surname is Li or not Chu, no matter how good the Chu family is to you, you are just a chess piece to them, you are just a person with a foreign surname, and you will never be able to enter the inner circle of the Chu family." ”
The four elders of the Li family also nodded one after another, the second master of the Li family was to the point, and they also believed that the main reason why Li Chengqian was reluctant to take over the position of the head of the Li family was because he was very close to the Chu family, thinking that the Chu family could give him anything he wanted.
Another reason, although none of them said it, but everyone knew it, that is, Li Chengqian was still angry about his expulsion from the Li family, so he refused to accept it, but this is also normal, after all, he is a young man with strong blood, likes to be self-willed, and likes to play with petty tempers at every turn.
The second master of the Li family and the four elders of the Li family thought that what they said was what Li Chengqian thought in his heart, but in fact, they were all wrong, because whether it was the Chu family or the Li family, even adding the Zhao family and the Qin family together, they were all floating clouds in his eyes.
When he arrived, after Li Chengqian's ascension to the tribulation, the entire earth would be his, and the small industries of the big families of the Xia Kingdom would really be worthless in his eyes.
"You're all wrong, Second Master." Li Chengqian said lightly, "I don't want to inherit the Li family's business, it has nothing to do with the Chu family, it's completely my personal will." He looked at the five old men opposite and continued, "I'm not angry, I really don't have time to deal with the affairs of the Li family, because I have my own things to do. ”
An elder interrupted Li Chengqian's words and said, "How can your personal affairs be compared with family affairs, you have to be more important!" ”
Li Chengqian looked at the old Zhang with an indifferent face, and then said something that made everyone squirt blood: "You said the opposite, the family's affairs are not as important as my own affairs!" If I had to make a choice, I would rather give up my family than do my own thing! ”
In Li Chengqian's heart, working hard to improve his cultivation, trying his best to find the soul of his master, and then ascending to the immortal realm to avenge his master and himself, this is what he wants to do most now, and it is also the most important thing.
As for what the family cause, it's all bullshit! He is not rare at all, even if the Li family is about to perish the next day, Li Chengqian will not feel heartache for half a point!
As soon as the five old men heard Li Chengqian say this, they were all so angry that they blew their beards and glared at them, but they couldn't do anything about Li Chengqian.
"It's not early today, I'm tired and want to rest, everyone, please go back!" Li Chengqian unceremoniously gave the order to expel the guests, and the faces of the five old men were suddenly full of anger, a junior of the Li family was so disrespectful to them! One of the elders was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by the second master of the Li family.
"Li Chengqian, I know that you are a very individual person, you don't like to be controlled by others, and you are very assertive, but I want to remind you that no matter how great your personal ability is, you can't compete with this society and this world!" The second master of the Li family stood up and looked at Li Chengqian and said.
"Also, I know that you have a lot of friends around you, they are all ordinary people, if you inherit the Li family's family business, you can bring a lot of benefits and benefits to these friends of yours, you weigh it well, am I right."
Before the second master of the Li family looked for Li Chengqian, he had already sent someone to collect a lot of information about Li Chengqian in the recent period, so he knew that Li Chengqian had a lot of friends around him, and most of them were female friends, Qiao Xuemeng was her wife, which was needless to mention.
In addition, there are Shu Xuanya and Su Rui and other women, these women are ordinary people, and their family conditions are not good, if Li Chengqian inherits the Li family's family business, these women will be taken care of by the family in the future, and their lives will become better.
The second master of the Li family found that the relationship between Li Chengqian and these women was not ordinary, so he started from these women from a different angle, hoping to persuade Li Chengqian to inherit the family business.
Li Chengqian was really silent for a while, the suggestion of the second master of the Li family made him a little moved, he is indeed superior in strength now, but he can't take care of all the women, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Yu Daiyue to help take care of Su Rui at the beginning.
Seeing that Li Chengqian did not object to the suggestion of the second master of the Li family, the four elders of the Li family couldn't help but rekindle their hope, and they also said gossipily beside them: "With the strength of our family, it is simply too easy to raise a few people, as long as you become the head of the family, your friends can live a better life in the future." ”
"That's right, you don't have to think about yourself, but you also have to think about your girlfriends, don't you want them to have a better life?"
Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and said, "I understand, since you want me to be the head of the Li family, then I will reluctantly agree to you." ”
The five old men were overjoyed when they heard this, and they finally persuaded Li Chengqian to inherit the Li family's business, so that the Li family had Li Chengqian, a super powerful master, in charge, and believed that the three major families and the Zhao family would no longer be easy to bully the Li family.
The five of them were excited, but they heard Li Chengqian say again, "But I have a request, that is, I will not live in the Li family, I still have my own things to do, if the Li family is troublesome, you can find me, but I will not take care of other things, I believe that with the ability of the five of you, you should be able to handle the daily affairs of the Li family." ”
When the four elders heard this, they immediately disagreed, as the head of the family, they were not in the family, and they had to run out and wander around, what kind of system was this? They just wanted to speak, but they saw the second master of the Li family waving his hand, nodded and said, "Yes, I promise you, as long as you make a name in the Li family, let everyone know that you are the head of the Li family, and we will do other things!" ”
After hearing this, the four elders looked at each other, but when they saw the eyes of the second master of the Li family, the four of them had no choice but to keep silent.
"The second master still understands my heart." Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Then it's decided, you can announce it to the public, I, Li Chengqian, inherited the Li family, and now I am the head of the Li family, as for when I can go back to the Li family, it depends on the progress of things on my side, don't rush me, as long as I finish my own thing, I will return to the Li family." ”
The second master of the Li family nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let the five of us leave, I hope you will return to the Li family as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation." After saying that, he left Li Chengqian's room with the rest of the four elders.
Wang Yuan and Chan'er had been paying attention to the situation in Li Chengqian's room, and when they saw the second master of the Li family going out from Li Chengqian's room with the four elders, the two of them came out and returned to Li Chengqian's room.
"Master, did they let you go back to inherit the Li family's business?" Wang Yuan asked cautiously, Li Chengqian nodded, and said, "You are well-informed, this is indeed the case." ”
"Did you promise them, master?" Chan'er asked curiously.
"I promised them, but I won't stay in the Li family every day, unless there is a major incident in the Li family, I won't go back easily, and I won't be under their control." Li Chengqian said indifferently.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the day has come for the auction house to auction "Savior".
The auction house that Feng Yong contacted was one of the best, and the auction items they auctioned were all high-quality, so they enjoyed a high reputation in the industry.
In addition, Feng Yong's advertising was very good, so countless collectors from all over the world rushed to the auction house, ready to bid on this heirloom of Leonardo da Vinci.
Li Chengqian and Wang Yuan and other three people were also at the auction site, their tickets were specially prepared for them by Feng Yong, and the location was also very good, in a box on the second floor, the line of sight was very good, and they could just look at the whole venue.
The auction hadn't started yet, Wang Yuan and Chan'er stayed in the box, and Li Chengqian came out of the box alone, standing at the door, frowning.
"Why do I have a strange feeling, this feeling is familiar, very similar to the aura on Shizun's body, is it ......" Li Chengqian looked around, only to see that there were many passers-by, men and women, old and young, he couldn't be sure which person this aura was coming from.
"It should still be a woman," Li Chengqian's gaze moved from one woman after another, but he didn't feel it, and when he was wondering, Chan'er suddenly walked out of the private room, her eyes were straight, and it was very different from usual.
"Chan'er, what's wrong with you?" Li Chengqian sensed that something was wrong, and grabbed Chan'er's hand, Chan'er turned her head to look at Li Chengqian, her mouth moved, and said, "Three souls, three souls." ”
Li Chengqian was shocked, Chan'er has the soul of Shizun in her body, she should be able to sense Shizun's other souls, so she should be right to feel what she felt just now, it must be that the soul of Shizun is nearby, and Chan'er also said that it is the three souls. Could it be that this is the three souls of "heaven, earth and man"? But which one is it, or ...... All three are here?
Li Chengqian suddenly became excited, if the three souls of heaven, earth and man were all here, then he would have to save himself from looking for them one by one, how much trouble he would have saved, and what made him happiest was that once he found these three souls, he could resurrect his master!
"Chan'er, tell me quickly, where are the three souls?" Li Chengqian asked anxiously, Chan'er's eyes were moving around blankly, and suddenly he pointed with his hand and said, "There, there is a woman." ”
Li Chengqian suddenly followed Chan'er's finger and found that it was the No. 4 private room separated from the private room where he was.
He hurriedly took Chan'er's hand back to the private room, asked Wang Yuan to keep an eye on Chan'er, and walked towards the No. 4 private room.
Li Chengqian walked to the door of the No. 4 private room, stretched out his hand and pushed, the door of the private room opened, Li Chengqian saw a woman sitting inside, the woman had her back to him, and her smooth black hair was draped over her shoulders.
The woman also seemed to notice that someone was coming in, and she also turned her head to look, and she was facing Li Chengqian's eyes, and their bodies shook at the same time, and in the depths of their hearts, they seemed to have set off a shocking wave, because they both felt that they knew each other, and they had known each other for hundreds of years and thousands of years!
Li Chengqian slowly walked over to the woman, and the woman didn't even say anything, just watched Li Chengqian walk next to her and sit down, the two looked at each other and were silent.
"Who the hell are you?" The woman finally spoke first, her voice crisp and pleasant, like a yellow warbler, "Why do I feel so familiar with you?" ”
Li Chengqian said softly, "You should know who I am, we have known each other for millions of years, you are thinking about it." ”
The woman frowned, pondered for a long time and still had no result, she simply didn't want to, and asked directly, "Tell me your name, maybe I can remember." ”
"Li Chengqian, what about you?" Li Chengqian asked the woman after saying his name, but the woman smiled but didn't answer, just said: "I wrote down your name, now you can go, the auction is about to start, I don't want to miss it." ”
Li Chengqian did not leave, but continued to sit in his place and said, "I finally found you, and I won't let you leave me again." ”
His voice is not loud, but it is very firm, giving people a sense of inopposition.
The woman's brows furrowed again, and she said, "If you want to die, you can stay here and don't leave, I can only tell you that I am not an ordinary woman, if my boyfriend comes back and finds that there is a strange man here, he will definitely be furious, and your life will not be guaranteed at that time." ”
"It's him, not me!" Li Chengqian disdainfully snorted and said, "I will tell your boyfriend, from today onwards, you belong to me, he has to agree if he agrees, and if he doesn't agree, he has to agree, otherwise, I will kill him!" ”
The woman's eyes widened in surprise, it was the first time she had heard such a domineering declaration, and suddenly she covered her mouth, sneered, and said: "You are quite bold, since you are not afraid of death, then you can wait for him to come back, and when the time comes, don't kneel down and beg me." ”
Li Chengqian also smiled and didn't speak, and the woman also turned her head and watched the performance on the stage, but her heart was up and down.
"Who is this man, why do I always have a heart beating when I see him, I can't help but want to hug him, am I crazy?"
The woman just said to Li Chengqian that she had a boyfriend, but this was not true, because the woman did not have a boyfriend, and the man she was talking about was actually her partner.
About five minutes later, a man pushed open the door and walked in, Li Chengqian looked back, and saw that it was a European and American man who was nearly two meters tall and sturdy, with blonde hair and green eyes.
"Annie, what's the matter with this man?" The blonde man asked the woman in an unkind tone, and the woman shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know him, he said he knows me, he must stay with me, and he said that he will never leave me again, John, what do you think I should do?" ”
"It turns out that this woman's name is Annie," Li Chengqian thought to himself, "but judging by her appearance, she should be Chinese, is she a foreign Chinese?" ”
When John heard that Anne didn't know Li Chengqian, he was immediately relieved, he walked up to Li Chengqian, and said unceremoniously: "This gentleman, this private room is set by me and Miss Anne, please leave here, otherwise I will call the security guard!" ”
Li Chengqian said with a faint smile, "I'm sorry, it's useless for you to call the security guards, because what they protect today is mine" Li Chengqian pointed to the stage, the oil painting that was hung on the curtain and covered with a black cloth, and said lightly, "That painting, the owner is me!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, John and Anne were taken aback in their hearts, they didn't expect that the owner of the famous painting turned out to be an unknown Xia Guoren, and he was so young.
Anne and John looked at each other, John nodded quietly, and said, "What do you mean by telling us this, we are just ordinary buyers, we only care about the value of the work, and we are not interested in who its owner is, so please leave here." ”
"I hope you don't force me to send you out, there was a guy who didn't know how to lift last time, and now he's still lying in the hospital!" John snapped his fingers and clicked, the muscles of his arms were very thick, almost thicker than the arms of an ordinary person, which was amazing!
Li Chengqian was not afraid, he smiled indifferently and said, "If you want to do it with me, you are not qualified enough, besides, I welcome real buyers, and you two are not, you are thieves, don't think I don't know!" ”
As soon as Li Chengqian's words were finished, Anne and John were even more shocked, because the two of them were indeed male and female thieves, specializing in stealing priceless works of art and gold jewelry, although they were not husband and wife, or even lovers, but they were from the same family, and they were like brothers and sisters, so they cooperated with each other seamlessly, and rarely missed.
But this matter is extremely secretive, almost no one knows their true identity, and every time they commit a crime, they wear human skin masks, and others do not know their true appearance at all.
But how did this unremarkable young man of Xia Guo know in front of him?
John and Anne are both experienced thieves, they have met a lot on this occasion, and they are not too panicked at the moment, they quickly calmed down, John slowly retreated from the door, locked the box door from the inside, and Anne also stood up, carrying a small bag in her hand and kept a certain distance from Li Chengqian, it was obvious that they wanted to attack Li Chengqian, because this was the only way to keep their identities secret.
Li Chengqian seemed to not know, and still sat quietly in his chair, ignoring the small movements of John and Anne.
John took out a sharp dagger from his arms and was about to deal with Li Chengqian from behind, but was stopped by Annie, John looked at Annie in surprise and asked her meaning with his eyes.
Anne bit her lip, sat down next to Li Chengqian again, with a charming smile on her face, and said, "This Mr. Li, since you already know our identity, then I want to ask what you plan to do with us and tell the police?" ”
Li Chengqian tilted his head and glanced at her, and said, "Of course not, you are the most important woman in my life, how could I hand you over to the police, but ......"
Li Chengqian squinted at John and said, "This guy has nothing to do with me, he wants to steal my paintings, then he has to be ready to go to prison!" ”
When Anne heard Li Chengqian say that she was the most important woman in his life, her heart couldn't help but beat hard, and a sweet and sour feeling permeated her heart, so that she was intoxicated and couldn't extricate herself.
John on the side listened to the cold frost on his face, although he and Anne are not lovers, but in fact, deep in John's heart, he loves Anne very much, but the flowers are intentional, the water is ruthless, Anne ignores his pursuit, and there is no reaction at all, so John feels very distressed.
Now, Li Chengqian is openly saying love words to Anne in front of John, but Anne is intoxicated, which makes John even more annoyed, he feels that his things have been taken away, he must take them back, Anne is his!
"You bastard, I'll kill you, the dead won't tell any secrets!" A cold light flashed in John's eyes, and he rushed over all of a sudden, raising the dagger in his hand and stabbing Li Chengqian's back violently!
"Oh, don't!" When Anne found out about John's attempt, she was immediately frightened, and she had a feeling that if Li Chengqian died, then she would definitely suffer for the rest of her life.
Although she wanted to stop John, John's speed was too fast and it was too late, so she didn't hesitate to block her body behind Li Chengqian, and John's knife stabbed Anne's chest!
At this moment, Li Chengqian suddenly turned around and hugged Anne in his arms, and then he stretched out an index finger, which was directly opposite the tip of John's knife!
"Oh my God!" John exclaimed, he found that his knife had been bent, and it was bent by Li Chengqian's finger!
This is so exaggerated, it is simply incomprehensible, bending the tip of a knife with your fingers, is this the power that human beings can have? John looked at Li Chengqian with wide eyes, he thought that Li Chengqian was either a god or a devil, otherwise how could he have so much strength, how could his fingers be so hard that even a knife could not pierce it!
Anne was also stunned, she stretched out her hand to cover her little mouth, and looked at Li Chengqian's fingers in disbelief.
Anne always knew that John had a sharp dagger to protect himself, and she also knew that the dagger, which John had hired a famous knifesmith to make, could easily pierce a steel plate, and if it was pierced on the human body, it could directly pierce the human body into a big hole!
Such a hard dagger was bent by one of Li Chengqian's fingers, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Anne wouldn't have believed it at all!
"You, what the hell are you!" John took two steps back and looked at Li Chengqian with a frightened face, Li Chengqian gently put Anne on the chair next to him, he stood up and walked over to the trembling John step by step, and said coldly, "I am God, the god of death, the god of death who specializes in killing you!" After speaking, he grabbed John's neck, twisted his wrist slightly, and heard a crisp sound of "click", and John's neck broke in response!
When dealing with people who want to harm him, Li Chengqian will never be soft!
"John! John! Anne's face turned pale with fright, although she had no feelings for John, but after all, the two of them had been partners who had worked together for many years, and she was strangled to death by Li Chengqian like this, and she suddenly felt that her head was blank.
"Why did you kill him?" Anne looked at Li Chengqian angrily, and Li Chengqian said indifferently, "If he wants to kill me first, I will naturally not show mercy to his subordinates!" ”
Anne opened her mouth and didn't say anything, because Li Chengqian was telling the truth, just now it was indeed John who wanted to kill Li Chengqian first, and Li Chengqian just fought back, and he could only blame John himself.
"Humph! You're a murderer! Anne dropped a word, opened the door of the box, and hurried out.
Li Chengqian did not chase after him, but walked to John's corpse, took out a wallet from the corpse's arms, which contained some cash and documents, in addition, Li Chengqian also found a room card, which was the key card of a local high-end hotel, and he guessed that Anne and John should both live in this hotel.
Li Chengqian flicked his fingers at John's corpse, and flew a Mars bomb over, and a flame burst onto it! Immediately, the corpse was completely encased.
Then, Li Chengqian pushed open the door and walked out calmly, he returned to his box, sat down quietly and continued to watch the auction.
After about 20 minutes, I heard the sirens sounding all around, and someone shouted in panic: "It's on fire!" It's on fire! Then the surrounding crowd began to riot, and firefighters rushed in, and they got into the private room where John and Anne were, which had become a sea of fire, and John's body was reduced to ashes in the fire.
Feng Yong immediately organized people to transport the oil paintings away as soon as he learned of the fire to ensure the safety of the oil paintings, and then he found Li Chengqian and others outside the auction house, and he sincerely apologized, "Mr. Li is really sorry, we didn't expect a fire to occur, but you can rest assured, the oil paintings have been safely transferred, and the auction will not be affected by anything, and will continue soon." ”
Feng Yong is the organizer, and if something happens, he naturally has to bear the main responsibility.
Li Chengqian nodded casually, his mind was not on the oil painting now, but on the woman named Annie just now.
The three of them returned to the hotel, Li Chengqian told Wang Yuan to take good care of Chan'er, and he came to the hotel where Anne stayed alone, he took out the room card, only to see that the room number was written on it was 303, he thought that the room where Anne was located should also be near 303, so he strode upstairs.
Coming to the door of room 303, Li Chengqian went in directly, rummaged in the room at random, and found nothing valuable, and then he walked to room 304 and knocked on the door, but no one answered inside.
Li Chengqian put his ear to the door, concentrated, and could hear the subtle sound of the door, but there was really no one inside, so he came to the outside of room 305 again, knocked on the door casually, and suddenly Annie's voice came from inside: "Who?" ”
