Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166

"If I do nothing, then aren’t you going to..." Li Changlin touched his nose in frustration, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Qian Ziwei frowned slightly, she too felt unwilling and discontented, but there was an even more pressing issue—her younger brother Qian Bao was still with the family. If she refused the family’s arrangement, who knew if Qian Bao would become implicated?

"There’s no choice in this matter; the arranged meeting can’t be avoided. After all, it was set by my second uncle personally. If I refuse, it would be like slapping his face, and he definitely won’t let it go!" Qian Ziwei said with knitted brows. If Qian Bao weren’t in the family, it wouldn’t matter, she could even decide not to return now.

"With that said, I guess I’ll just have to stage a dramatic fight for love!" Li Changlin clearly understood Qian Ziwei’s concerns. Since the matter couldn’t be changed, he would need to put effort into the details.

The Qian Family arranged a matchmaking meet, right? I’ll go and stir things up at that event.

"That’s actually a good idea. At that time, you can pretend to be interested in me, then compete with that Xiang Anyi." Qian Ziwei clapped and laughed. Li Changlin was the legitimate heir of the Li Family. She believed the Qian Family wouldn’t be able to do much to him; besides, Li Changlin was also at the Peak of Virtual Force, and while the Qian Family was powerful, the Li Family was a top-tier force. There was no comparison between the two.

However, that Xiang Anyi might be troublesome, but Qian Ziwei believed that with Li Changlin’s skills, he could easily handle it.

"Alright, let’s do that. Call me when your matchmaking session comes around, I must make that Xiang Anyi lose face!" Seeing Qian Ziwei agreeing with his suggestion, a trace of a smile appeared on Li Changlin’s face.

"However, you’ll have to communicate this plan with Ruonan; I don’t want to cause any misunderstandings." Seeing how content Li Changlin looked, Qian Ziwei hurriedly reminded him seriously.

She feared that Li Changlin might get carried away; after all, even between the best of girlfriends, jealousy could always arise.

"Understood, don’t worry. Ruonan will come to the Li Family tomorrow, I’ll talk to her then," Li Changlin nodded continuously, clearly understanding Qian Ziwei’s concerns.

"I didn’t expect that Ruonan is going to live with you." Hearing this, Qian Ziwei felt slightly jealous, revealing a faintly aggrieved look on her face.

Seeing her jealousy, Li Changlin couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Actually, Qian Ziwei’s temperament was quite good. Li Changlin still remembered when Qian Ziwei told him that Ancient Martial Artists could ignore some of the real world’s rules.

Back then, he had just received the System not long ago, and he knew nothing about Ancient Martial Arts; it was Qian Ziwei’s words that had opened a window for him.

"I need to head back now." After their conversation, Qian Ziwei stood up. Now that Li Changlin knew of her situation, she felt relieved, believing that Li Changlin wouldn’t disappoint her.

Li Changlin couldn’t hold her back, since people from the Qian Family were still waiting back at the estate, and Qian Bao was also with the Qian Family, Li Changlin had to consider his safety.

Seeing Qian Ziwei to the door, in order not to let the Qian Family people notice his relationship with Qian Ziwei, Li Changlin had Chen Mingjiang take her to the estate’s entrance. Regarding the people from the Qian Family, Li Changlin had also arranged for Zhou Jian to notify them.

After sending off Qian Ziwei, Li Changlin returned to his room and began to consider how to handle Qian Ziwei’s matchmaking situation.

He knew nothing about that Xiang Anyi. However, during their conversation, Qian Ziwei had also mentioned some information about Xiang Anyi, that he was a talented student who had just returned from studying abroad.

Xiang Anyi studied abroad in the Island Nation, where it is said that his family is a third-rate Ancient Martial force. Being the legitimate eldest son of the Xiang Family, he is now twenty-eight and has reached the Initial Threshold Stage of cultivation, which makes him quite a remarkable talent.

The Xiang Family’s headquarters are in Shanghai City. Previously, when the legitimate eldest son of the Yang Family, Yang Wei, brought 100 billion to Shanghai City to seek cooperation, specialized personnel from the Xiang Family responsible for business issues participated in the banquet. Li Changlin, upon Yang Fei’s introduction, also exchanged business cards with that Xiang Family elder who specialized in business affairs.

As far as the Xiang Family is concerned, Li Changlin considers them not too much of a pressure; after all, this family is merely a minor third-rate force, hardly any different from the Chen Family in Nanfu Province.

However, it’s also true that third-rate forces are not that easy to bully, for behind each third-rate force, there often lie some much stronger backgrounds.

Just like the Chen Family and the Jiangnan Huo Family, although they have not aligned with other families in the mundane world, in the Upper Realm, both families have a powerful backer called Taiyi Sect.

Just how powerful Taiyi Sect is, Li Changlin is unsure, but he believes that in such a sect, there must be at least Inch Force experts stationed.

Fortunately, due to the rules, these Inch Force experts are unable to appear in the mundane world, and even if they could, their strength would be greatly suppressed.

In such circumstances, Li Changlin temporarily does not need to be concerned.

But now, as for the Xiang Family, it remains unknown whether they are spokespersons in the mundane world for some power from the Upper Realm or if they are vassals aligned under some first-rate force. This needs to be investigated thoroughly before anything else.

If there were no plans involving a Divine Artifact, Li Changlin could actually completely disregard any first-rate force, because now, he himself possesses strength comparable to one who is half-step into Inch Strength.

Although Li Changlin is temporarily unable to suppress those half-step into Void Energy experts, defeating him is not an easy task for them.

Moreover, there is another crucial point. Li Changlin’s Nine Yin Divine Skill is only at the Peak of Transformation Realm. If he could raise his realm to the Early Stage of Virtual Energy, his strength could increase by at least twenty thousand jin.

By then, Li Changlin would have the strength of Ten Dragons, making him fully comparable to ordinary Inch Force Experts.

Even because his realm has not truly reached Inch Strength, his strength will not be suppressed by the Power of Rules.

In such conditions, as long as he is in the mundane world, Li Changlin has nothing to worry about.

Only, the Divine Artifact has not yet been acquired!

For Xi Yao’s illness, Li Changlin can only choose to compromise himself and Qian Ziwei.

Otherwise, he could fully display his real strength, go directly to the Qian Family, and force them to withdraw the arranged marriage matters.

But due to various concerns in his heart, Li Changlin cannot but choose to use a prudent method, so investigating all the information about the Xiang Family and Xiang Anyi becomes the priority.

Since the Xiang Family is an Ancient Martial Family, then naturally, to gather information about this family, one must find Uncle Li Chengzhi who is responsible for the Family’s intelligence system.
