Chapter 964: Chapter 21 Bad Influence Brothers_2

Top cultivators definitely have to go to the battlefield, to compete with other countries’ Transcendents. Moreover, the Spiritual Energy Resurgence has so much uncertainty, an unknown grassroots Transcendent might obtain a miraculous adventure from a legendary Mysterious Realm, and suddenly transform into a soaring dragon…

No one can ensure they will always lead in cultivation, and never be eliminated by others.

Yan Yu’s practice of extensively creating a harem, in the eyes of major families in Pingjing, seems to be the best solution to cope with the current instability.

By finding powerful female cultivators as wives, he ensures that the children born will at least have decent cultivation talent. With careful nurturing, they can become a cultivation family based on bloodlines. Even if Yan Yu dies halfway, with so many powerful children’s mothers working together, they can still hold up the family and prevent it from being divided by outsiders.

Then look at Lord Master, if one day he carelessly loses his life and his children haven’t embarked on cultivation, can He Ye, a mere mortal, hold her own? By then, the Liu Family might not even be able to maintain its current status, forced to withdraw quickly for self-preservation!

Liu Longtao understands all these reasons, yet he absolutely refuses to compromise, because to retreat is to keep retreating. Today, if he agrees to leave offspring, tomorrow his parents will arrange a marriage meeting with a female cultivator for him, the day after they will open a large harem for him, and the day after that they can send He Ye away from home — turning marriage back into family-arranged setups, how can he endure this?

I am a genuine Golden Core True Man, not some prince who can be arbitrarily manipulated by the family!

He retorted a few times, neither too harsh nor too soft, and temporarily parted with his father on bad terms, feeling greatly agitated. He took out his phone to message Yan Yu but received no reply, then turned his head and saw Zhaojiang eating heartily at the dessert table.

This carefree idiot!

When Lord Master is in a bad mood, he always hates to see his brothers having a better time than him, so he walked over with a glass of wine and said:

“Old Li, you sure have a good appetite. You’re enjoying my banquet today, and tomorrow when your sister marries Yan Yu, you’ll have another feast.”

Li Zhaojiang just stuffed a piece of cake in his mouth, and his brow immediately furrowed upon hearing this.

What, itching for a fight huh?

He countered calmly:

“My sister and Old Yan haven’t gotten to that point yet. Unlike you, Lord Master, jumping into marriage as soon as you’re in love. Didn’t expect you to be such a one-woman man.”

This comment, “one-woman man,” precisely hit Liu Longtao’s sore spot, since he wants to be faithful but isn’t allowed, so he laughed and said:

“I seek a woman to truly settle down with, of course I’d hold on when I meet the right one. But your sister, still not having confirmed relations with Old Yan? Better hurry, or he might go ahead and settle down with another woman.”

“Heh,” Li Zhaojiang scoffed.

He saw that Lord Master was trying to provoke him, and also saw that Lord Master was in a terrible mood. Although he didn’t know the specific reason, it didn’t stop Li Zhaojiang from speculatively teasing with a mean line of thought:

“What, you like my sister too? Aren’t you planning to fly high with He Ye?”

“I definitely won’t sabotage Old Yan,” Liu Longtao clarified immediately, “Your sister has secretly pledged her heart and life to him; I can’t spoil such beauty.”

“So sabotaging Old Yan’s girl is no good, sabotaging someone else’s is fine?” Li Zhaojiang raised an eyebrow, “Spit it out, Lord Master, who have you fallen for now? I promise I won’t tell He Ye.”

Liu Longtao became even more irritable, this idiot obviously didn’t know the trouble I’m facing, yet every sentence is completely on point.

Luckily his opponent also has extremely obvious weaknesses… With this in mind, he said calmly:

“I’m not like you, how can I fall for everyone I see? Speaking of which, Old Li, why do you keep changing girlfriends? I’ve heard just the other day, someone said you frequently change girlfriends to find a stand-in for your sister, yet no matter how you find, it always seems lacking.”

Li Zhaojiang was utterly disgusted by the stand-in theory, and immediately countered:

“How could that be? Who’s the scoundrel daring to slander me like that? I change girlfriends frequently because I don’t want to rush into a lifelong decision, lest I regret it once the rice is cooked. After all, with our status, can’t be a scumbag, right? Once engaged, there’s no room for a change of heart, you agree, right?”

Heh, I didn’t think of having a change of heart, but some people just won’t allow it!

Liu Longtao suppressed his anger and said:

“I understand, but you might also consider learning from Old Yan. Embrace and integrate, let a hundred flowers bloom within the harem. Isn’t your sister a part of it?”

“What am I?” Suddenly, the voice of Li Minghu came from behind.

Liu Longtao was jolted. Insulting each other was not a problem as they were sworn brothers, but now that Li Minghu overheard their back talk, it was truly awkward. He hurriedly explained to smooth things over:

“Nothing, nothing, just discussing who in the current team already has a partner. We just happened to mention you.”

“Oh.” Li Minghu didn’t expose him but slowly said, “Just happened to discuss me, huh.”

“Yes, yes.” Li Zhaojiang awkwardly said, “Just chatting casually.”

“Although I don’t have a partner, I do have someone I like.” Li Minghu pondered and said, “Yes, that’s right.”

Li Zhaojiang was dumbstruck, while Liu Longtao secretly held back his laughter, feeling all the resentment accumulated from their father dissipated entirely at this moment.

Indeed! To quickly dissolve negative emotions, nothing is more efficient than seeing a brother be put in his place.

“Who is it?” Suddenly, Yan Yu’s voice emerged from behind, “Minghu has someone he likes? Who is it?”

“You know who.” Li Minghu blinked.

“I know who, but I don’t know if the one I know is exactly the person you like.” Yan Yu playfully said hesitantly.

“I also don’t know who you know.” Li Minghu chuckled, “You have to say it out loud for me to tell you if it’s right or not?”

“Let’s do this then.” Yan Yu said, “I won’t say, and you don’t have to say it out loud, just stare at that person and I’ll know.”

“How is it considered staring?” Li Minghu softly asked, “Does looking at you like this count?”

“Of course it counts.” Yan Yu laughed.

This pair was blatantly showing off their affection, causing Li Zhaojiang and Liu Longtao to feel intense discomfort. The former unwilling to see his own sister fall into Yan Yu’s clutches, and the latter lamenting that Li Minghu was willing to follow Yan Yu even knowing about the latter’s harem. Considering what He Ye might feel knowing the Liu Family wanted to start a harem for him, a strong sense of jealousy surged immediately.

Damn it, why can Old Yan keep such harmony and unity in his harem? This darn womanizer should be sliced into a hundred and eighty pieces with a kitchen knife, cooked in a hotpot, and fed to stray dogs!

“Are you back?” Ye Jun also noticed Yan Yu’s arrival and came over to ask, “I heard you were looking for magic treasures for Crossing Tribulation?”

“How did you know?” Yan Yu laughed, “I didn’t tell many people.”

“Mr. Mei mentioned it.” Ye Jun shrugged, “So did you find them all or do you need to continue searching outside?”

“For now, this much is enough.” Yan Yu replied, “I’ll first go to Mr. Mei to unload, get everything sorted out, and then we can talk more.”

“No need, I’ll go with you now.” Ye Jun said.

“I’ll go too.” Li Minghu chuckled, “Don’t mind one more person, right?”

“No worries, you’re all bound to face Crossing Tribulation sooner or later. Understanding it in advance gives you a mental preparation.” Yan Yu took out his phone, “Hold on, I’ll call everyone from our team…”

Soon, the girls from Zhenhai Team stood up in unison, along with Zhou Hongyu and Tang Xiaolian who noticed the action here, all gathered around Yan Yu. After exchanging a few words, they swarmed around Yan Yu and left the venue.

Watching their backs, Liu Longtao couldn’t help but remark:

“If they really start fighting each other, causing Old Yan’s harem to explode, what a spectacular and gorgeous sight that would be!”

“Indeed.” Li Zhaojiang solemnly concurred, his gaze following his sister’s figure among them, his eyes filled with pain and reluctance.
