Chapter 1691: Chapter 1691

Even those at the seventh tier have their own troubles, especially when it comes to family matters.

The two of them originally thought they could handle their family affairs themselves, but unexpectedly, as the family grew, so did the number of people involved, many of whom were extremely greedy and constantly sought more benefits from them.

Even at the seventh tier, as long as they don’t fight, using familial ties against them, Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao are quite troubled.

"What they’re doing is too much. Do they think Law Crystals are just something easily obtained? And all those demands, do they really think we owe them?" Lin Yushi couldn’t help but become irritated.

"But what can we do? After all, they’re all people within the family, even if the relationships aren’t very close."

Du You shrugged, "In any case, you decide for yourselves. You can’t satisfy them on everything; otherwise, the outcome will be very troublesome. You could consult some others with relevant experience, and then you’ll know what to do."

"That’s really all we can do," the two of them said helplessly, never imagining that after breaking through to the seventh tier, things would become so complicated. Before their breakthrough, there weren’t as many troublesome issues.

Why are even all sorts of minor matters being brought to them now to be resolved?

Simply because the two of them are relatively soft-hearted, so even after some time, the issues still haven’t been resolved. If this continues, it will really make them increasingly troubled, and things will become more and more complicated.

Even Du You has heard some sarcastic remarks on certain occasions.

If he weren’t concerned about his image, Du You would really want to gather these folks and interrogate them thoroughly.

"I’ve already informed Li Minglu, he’ll find a way to sort it out; he’s much more experienced than you guys in this regard. Let’s not worry about this matter for now and declare that we’re going into cultivation to improve, and ignore them."

Cultivation for improvement is serious business; no one can or will stop it.

Especially since it involves several seventh tiers along with an eighth tier, nobody dares to do anything.

"Alright, maybe this way, we can have some peace." Li Mengyao nodded helplessly. She originally thought not cultivating would be a form of rest, a chance to recuperate, but who knew it would be even more exhausting than when cultivating.

"So where will we go? With our level of strength, there’s no need to go to ordinary places, right?"

Once there was a Tangled Undead World, which was a great fit for the two of them. But now, there’s no need to go there because the Tangled Undead World had already resolved its issues long ago and is now very peaceful. They can’t just go there to hunt Death Gods, as that would only be more troublesome. After reaching the seventh tier, even cultivation becomes problematic.

"Let’s go to the Divine War Battlefield, it’s the best place for seventh-tier cultivation. If you encounter danger, notify me anytime, and I’ll arrive as soon as possible."

"Aren’t you going with us?" As soon as she said this, Li Mengyao covered her mouth.

Of course, Du You is an eighth tier and is bound to seek out eighth-tier opponents, so he can’t be with them. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for anyone. They still can’t enhance themselves together, making the two of them a bit disappointed.

However, thinking that Du You could be in the same world as them at least brought them closer in terms of distance.

After packing up a bit, the two of them immediately declared they were heading into cultivation, without specifying their destination. Du You likewise announced he would go into closed-door cultivation to enhance his skills, and then they all disappeared.

Now, those people in the two families had no one to bother anymore.

Meanwhile, Li Minglu appeared before them. "Everyone, I’ll handle the matters to come. Is there anything else you need to communicate with us?"

"What else could there be, Law Crystals? Your company is so large, surely there must be a stock of Law Crystals."

"Yes, we are family, after all; you can’t favor outsiders."

Li Minglu sneered inwardly at these people. How did they treat him back in the day? Now that the company has grown, their attitudes have changed. But now that Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao have advanced to the seventh tier, do these people really think they have found backing? They’re once again showing this dismissive attitude toward him.

Li Minglu calmly said, "Law Crystals are extremely precious, and whether we have them is a company secret. I won’t provide such valuable things to you. Moreover, to receive the company’s assistance, you’ll need to sign a contract. You can skip the queue and enjoy internal pricing, but free of charge is out of the question."

"What do you mean, Li Minglu? Are you planning to betray the family and turn your back on us?"

Li Minglu wasn’t angry and continued calmly, "This is a basic quality of being a company executive, besides, didn’t you all drive me out long ago?"

"But didn’t we agree to let you return to the family?"

"I never agreed to that, it was just something you said yourselves." Li Minglu’s words silenced them all. If he was with the Li Family, he’d be even more so with the Xi Family, with whom he had no ties.

They suddenly realized that Li Minglu was much harder to deal with than Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao. If the two of them were around, they could use their status and strength to suppress Li Minglu. But now, with both of them gone and Li Minglu fully in charge, there’s no way he would make concessions without boundaries.

Those with genuine boundaries won’t be unreasonable here, and those who came to find him are basically all the same kind of people.

Moreover, though they are family, everyone is from different branches. These branches have little to do with Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao, just carrying the family name nominally.

These people are difficult for the two of them to handle, but Li Minglu is different. Having been through the ups and downs of society for many years, Li Minglu has dealt with far more people than the two of them, and handling this kind of person is just too familiar for him.

It was just a release of some pent-up resentment earlier, but once vented, Li Minglu presented himself in a businesslike manner.

Reluctantly, these people, finding no way to gain more advantages, had to acquiesce.

As for leaving this place, not a single one would. Those who came today were all looking to take advantage, and while they might not gain much more, getting even a little was enough for them not to leave.

Under Li Minglu’s coordination, these internal matters were finally resolved bit by bit. Hopefully, when the two return, such issues won’t bother them anymore.
