167: The Drunken Old Man's Intention

Chu Yuan felt that this class reunion was quite boring.

Perhaps it was because in these two months, it wasn't just the trial-takers who had grown on the Outer Heaven Battlefield; the other classmates had grown as well.

Throughout the meal, people kept coming over to curry favor and strike up a connection.

It made Chu Yuan almost mistake himself for having so many close friends...

Although he could understand this mentality, understanding it didn't mean he liked it.

So he simply cold-shouldered them, putting on a "strangers keep away" expression...

Yang Yi could handle it, but he was even more aware of the mentality of these former classmates.

Therefore, he only exchanged pleasantries and didn't promise anything.

The person who organized this reunion was a boy named Lei Liang, who had also been admitted to a decent martial arts academy and was now a 'little expert' of the Leakless Realm.

He raised his glass and asked with a smile, "Class Monitor, everyone knows you went to participate in some extraordinary training camp.

Now that the training is over... can you tell us what it was actually like, so we can broaden our horizons?"

Yang Yi laughed it off, "Actually, it was nothing special. It was just Cultivating, fighting, Cultivating, fighting..."

"Fighting? Was it fighting between the participants?"

"Not entirely. Sometimes we fought some exotic beasts and such..."

"So that's how it is." Lei Liang realized, "Isn't that no different from us?

It's just that the ones we fight are the masters at the martial arts gym..."

Yang Yi smiled, "Pretty much, it's all about the same."

The smile on Lei Liang's Face grew wider, "In the future, everyone must communicate and look out for each other!"

"Lei Liang is right. Come on, let's all have a drink together?"

"Chu Yuan, have a drink?"

Chu Yuan nodded, picked up his glass, and downed it in one gulp.

Lei Liang seemed very satisfied with Chu Yuan's act of giving him Face. As if remembering something, he added, "Right, let me introduce you to a friend."

The private room door opened, and a woman with a composed temperament walked in.

Although she looked young, she gave people a feeling of having experienced the passage of time, making her seem completely out of place with the students in the room.

Affected by her aura, the room suddenly fell silent...

Chu Yuan was secretly impatient, frowning as he watched Lei Liang perform.

Lei Liang seemed quite proud, or perhaps the alcohol had gone to his head, as he said loudly, "This is Ms. Li Tong from the Li Family of Yunan Prefecture!

Chu Yuan, I heard that you and the Li Family have some misunderstandings?

It is better to resolve grudges than to keep them. Why not take advantage of today to clear up this misunderstanding?

We are all from Yunan Prefecture; perhaps there will be opportunities to work together in the future..."

Chu Yuan realized what was going on. His brows relaxed, and a playful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Honestly, the Li Family hadn't been making much noise, and he had almost forgotten about them...

Looking back at the whole process of his feud with the Li Family, apart from him killing Li Ji... he really hadn't received any retaliation from the Li Family.

In the early stages, because of Li Chen's death, the Li Family had intended to apply pressure, but the principal had blocked it...

Yang Yi also figured out what was going on, and his expression became strange.

He felt it was somewhat amusing, "Lei Liang, so you came today to be a peacemaker... Who the hell do you think you are?"

Yang Yi hadn't seen someone with so little self-awareness in a long time... Perhaps one couldn't blame Lei Liang; after all, his experience was too limited, and he knew nothing...

Lei Liang hadn't expected the previously amiable Yang Yi to blurt out such a sentence, and he was stunned for a moment.

Then he angrily said, "Yang Yi! I give you Face by calling you Class Monitor; do you really think you're something special!?"

We are all Martial Artists; don't go too far!"

Afterwards, he looked at Chu Yuan and said, "Chu Yuan, we are all classmates... give me some Face, how about it?"

Chu Yuan glanced at him, then looked at Li Tong and smiled, "Did you intentionally find such a thing to disgust me?"

Lei Liang felt his Face burning and was somewhat annoyed.

He didn't understand; he had already established a relationship with the Li Family of Yunan Prefecture, so why did these two still dare to look down on him!?

Did they not know the power of the Li Family?

Just as he was about to shout a rebuke, Lei Liang suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief...

He saw that noble, cold, and proud woman—who possessed such powerful dignity that he dared not harbor even a shred of blasphemous thought—bow deeply to Chu Yuan, revealing her fair neck.

"I apologize. I dared not visit your home without permission, and I also feared that visiting the Yang Family would cause some misunderstanding.

That is why I had to resort to this strategy.

I also didn't expect this person to be so stupid and arrogant..." Li Tong's tone revealed deep apology, "Please give me five minutes."

Bowing and scraping to a child in her eyes, Li Tong felt no embarrassment at all.

Although she was a Fifth Realm Martial Artist... she knew that if the child in front of her were willing, a single glance would be enough to annihilate her!

She didn't mention how to deal with Lei Liang... No matter how stupid the other party was, he was still Chu Yuan's classmate, and she dared not overstep her bounds...

This was the dignity of the strong!

Things like age, status, and experience... in the Face of power, they were all not worth mentioning; one had to bow their head!

"Speak."

Li Tong straightened up, wearing a look of gratitude.

"Actually, there isn't any major conflict between our Li Family and you.

It is nothing more than the three junior Family members: Li Chen, Li Ji, and Li Hong.

Only after Li Chen died did his parents use their connections to try and pressure Chenyang No. 1 Middle School... As for the rest, whether it was Li Ji's death or Li Hong's disappearance, the Li Family took no action..."

Chu Yuan sneered, "Heh, you certainly know how to downplay the important things.

Li Ji sought his own death, and I fulfilled his wish.

Li Hong was ordered to find an opportunity to eliminate me in Secret Realm No. 7. Whose order was he following?

Also, Li Hong didn't disappear... he defected."

Li Tong lowered her head again, "I am not saying this to absolve the Li Family... Everything Li Hong did was at the instruction of Li Chen's parents.

Those two have already been dealt with according to Family law, their cultivation crippled. If you don't believe me, you can go check at any time..."

Next was the main event. Li Tong steeled herself and said in a deep voice, "Of course, I wouldn't dare to ask for your forgiveness with empty words.

To show our apology, the Li Family is willing to offer martial arts resources worth 100,000 military merit!"

Aside from Yang Yi, the others in the room didn't know what martial arts resources worth 100,000 military merit meant; they were just blindly listening to the explosive 'inside information'.

Chu Yuan didn't really care about this 100,000 military merit, and he said thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, the Li Family only has one Seventh Realm expert? You are quite willing to part with 100,000 military merit..."

"It doesn't need to be borne entirely by Great-Grandfather. We juniors can still scrape together a bit... Great-Grandfather said that as long as the misunderstanding between the Li Family and you can be resolved, any price is worth it."

Chu Yuan seemed to confirm something, "Is your Great-Grandfather on the Outer Heaven Battlefield?"

"Great-Grandfather is currently serving in the Ninth Legion, and he has also heard of your achievements..."
