Using a teleportation array is truly convenient; in the blink of an eye, we're from Shendu to Tongdu.

Feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded, Li Cunxu leaned against the wall as he came out.

He took a taxi to return to his ranch's log cabin.

The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter was still dutifully guarding the ranch. Having not seen him for a long time, the guard dog excitedly rushed up to Li Cunxu, knocking him over and licking his face.

"Ah Huang, it's been a while."

Li Cunxu patted the guard dog's head.

After some catching up, Li Cunxu prepared to return to the bedroom for a nap.

The after-effects of the teleportation array still hadn't eased, and taking a taxi, the driver liked to brake sharply, and after a few such stops, Li Cunxu felt a bit carsick.

Turning on the bedroom light, Li Cunxu's expression went from puzzled to frozen.

The previously empty bedroom had an extra person, an elderly man with graying hair, sitting beside the desk, flipping through photos of Li Cunxu's parents and sister.

At first glance, Li Cunxu thought the visitor was his grandfather Li Shiji; upon seeing the cloudy shadow in the depths of the old man's eyes, he immediately realized this was not Li Shiji; he was Li Shiyin.

Li Shiji and Li Shiyin were brothers, looking quite similar, hard to tell apart at first glance.

Li Shiyin caressed the pictures, applying a little force, tearing the whole stack of photos in half.

"Speak, how is Li Shiji so lucky? It's fine that he is exceptionally gifted, but his descendants are this outstanding; his granddaughter awakens the Demon Lotus Eye, his grandson was specially recruited by Shendu University's president, conquering two highly difficult secret realms in one day, and within a year of beast mastery, he surged to the freshman rookie list."

"This old man has been keeping tabs on me; he even knows everything I've done at Shendu University," Li Cunxu shuddered inwardly.

"Perhaps I could have such exceptional descendants as well, but everything was ruined by Li Shiji; he killed my three sons, severing my lineage. I must make him experience the agony of having his lineage cut off."

Li Shiyin's face contorted with rage, gnashing his teeth, releasing a force that shattered the desk and the photos on it into powdery debris.

Li Cunxu's face instantly darkened.

Grudges have their sources and debts have their owners; if you're capable, go find Li Shiji! Why bother me?

Don't even talk about making Li Shiji feel the pain of losing family, you're merely incapable of defeating Li Shiji and only dare to retaliate against others.

And if you're angry at yourself, why smash my parents' photos?

These photos are unique, with no backups.

I hid these photos under the log cabin in a safe, and you, with nothing better to do, pulled them out for me.

Earlier, torn in half, I didn't pursue it since the photos could be repaired, but now pulverized into dust, how am I to fix them? I don't have a time-reverse skill.

Li Shiyin's eyes were sinister, yet a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"As the most talented descendant under Li Shiji, suddenly dying tragically in your own bedroom with no suspect, Li Shiji must be very sad and angry, right!"

"This old man's plan was to wipe out Li Shiji's entire family, why suddenly not annihilate the whole family and want to kill me first? Could it be seeing me as too exceptional, wanting to smother me in the cradle?" Li Cunxu wondered in his heart.

Li Shiyin's initial plan was indeed to annihilate Li Shiji's whole family, which never changed until his spies embedded in Shendu University informed him about Li Cunxu.

Within a year of beast mastery, rising to the second place of the freshman class in a university full of exceptional students, where King-level teachers abound; and the key point is his pet beast is a mere ordinary Slime.

This shock is akin to a little kid using a blunt wooden sword to stab a King-level being to death.

For a moment, Li Shiyin was filled with jealousy, jealous that Li Shiji had promising successors, unlike him who had none.

Rather than annihilate Li Shiji's uninspiring descendants, Li Shiyin wanted to destroy Li Shiji's most talented, most extraordinary grandson, Li Cunxu.

Thus, Li Shiyin lurked near the teleportation array, so that once Li Cunxu returned to Tongdu, he could sense it through the hatred seed he planted in Li Cunxu's body, then lay in wait.

Li Cunxu's death would surely cause Li Shiji heart-wrenching pain!

The smile on Li Shiyin's face grew more intense, turning into maniacal laughter.

"You can blame your grandfather Li Shiji for this calamity, but if you write 'I hate Li Shiji' on the floor with your blood, I might spare your life."

It's clear you're planning to kill me, and you think writing 'I hate Li Shiji' will spare my life? Obviously, you just want to toy with me before killing me.

Li Cunxu sneered, "Old man, if you want to kill, just do it; where's all this nonsense coming from? Have you not heard that villains talk to death?"

Li Shiyin sensed something amiss; Li Cunxu remained too calm throughout, neither fleeing nor showing fear, as if he had absolute confidence.

Where did a bronze-level Beast Master get such confidence? Could it be given by Li Shiji, who actually discovered my little tricks earlier?

Li Shiyin thought intently.

But then it felt off; if Li Cunxu's confidence was Li Shiji, why hasn't Li Shiji appeared after I revealed myself? Could this kid be feigning calm to bluff me?

Could a kid be this gutsy?

Li Shiyin's intent to kill Li Cunxu intensified.

Too outstanding, must kill.

Wait, his demeanor doesn't seem fake, as if he really has confidence, as if he's truly unafraid of me killing him.

Could it be Li Shiji left a resurrection contingency on him? So he's unafraid of death.

Li Shiyin continually speculated about Li Cunxu's calm reason.

But still couldn't figure it out, so he cautiously decided to ask.

Li Shiyin revealed his magic-filled, world-crushing Demon Lotus Eyes.

Pupil Technique: Demon Lotus Induction.

This Pupil Technique could induce Li Cunxu to reveal the reason for his calmness.

Before Li Shiyin used the Demon Lotus Induction, Li Cunxu suddenly smiled as if relieved.

"You finally opened your eyes, I almost thought I'd miss those eyes."

"His eyes must be preserved, Chairperson, it's up to you."

Li Cunxu revealed the life-preserving jade embroidered on his right-hand bracelet.

The life-preserving jade was previously worn as a necklace pendant around his chest; before returning, Li Cunxu feared Li Shiyin might suddenly appear to cause trouble, and he wouldn't have time to grab the jade on his chest. So he bought two bracelets to thread the jade pendant, one on each hand.

Upon realizing it was Li Shiyin, Li Cunxu activated the life-preserving jade from within his sleeve.

He just didn't expect the power left by the old Chairperson in the life-preserving jade to have consciousness and to communicate with him, so Li Cunxu let the jade hold its action a bit longer.

After all, only open eyes can take away the Demon Lotus Eye.

Life-preserving jade?

Li Shiyin chuckled, naive child, do you think the power sealed in a life-preserving jade can kill a King?

Truly naive and adorable.

Wait, why does the figure projected by this life-preserving jade look so much like the Alliance Chairperson?

Li Shiyin sensed a bad situation.
