Chapter 1167: Chapter 1161: The Meeting Gift
Li Chengzhi, who is the father of Li Changrui, possesses strength just half a step into Void Energy, while Li Changrui himself is at the Initial Threshold Stage of the Transformation Realm.
Now that Changlin’s status has been established, originally he just needed to instruct Chen Mingjiang to request the relevant information from Li Chengzhi.
But Changlin is well aware that his second uncle must be feeling some bumps in his heart. Changlin’s sudden emergence has essentially snatched away the position of Family Head from Li Changrui. Even if Li Chengzhi is open-minded, he definitely harbors some other thoughts.
As for his cousin Li Changrui, Changlin doesn’t know him very well, but after all, he owes him some form of compensation.
Therefore, Changlin wants to use this opportunity to mend the relationship between the main house and the second house.
Having made up his mind, Changlin took out his phone to log into the System and opened his personal center, only to find that his Popularity Points were still over twenty million, a figure that slightly surprised him. Without giving it much thought and after pondering briefly, he directly exchanged for fifteen Grass Revival Pills.
One Grass Revival Pill can increase one’s strength by five hundred jin, while the consumption of Popularity Points is only three hundred thousand per pill, making it a much better deal than the Life Fruit.
After placing the Grass Revival Pills into a bottle, Changlin stood up and set out.
Upon reaching the door, Chen Mingjiang and Zhou Jian were both outside. Changlin instructed Zhou Jian to bring around a tour car.
Within the family estate, if there are no special circumstances, the speed limit for cars is set to below twenty miles per hour, which is roughly the same speed as a tour car. Besides, Changlin’s residence isn’t very far from Li Chengzhi’s.
Traveling by tour car would take at most five or six minutes, which won’t delay much time.
Zhou Jian drove the car over, and Changlin along with Chen Mingjiang got on in succession. Following that, Changlin instructed him to head towards his second uncle, Li Chengzhi’s residence.
Five minutes later, the vehicle arrived at the entrance of Li Chengzhi’s villa. Li Chengzhi’s guards were outside. Upon seeing Changlin get off, they promptly saluted and respectfully called him Young Master Changlin, then pushed open the closed doors.
Changlin expressed his thanks and asked Zhou Jian and Chen Mingjiang to wait outside, then he walked in directly.
In the living room, Li Chengzhi and Li Changrui were sitting on the sofa discussing matters. Seeing Changlin enter, they quickly got up and respectfully addressed him as Young Master Changlin.
As a first-rate family, the Li Family has many rules to follow.
Although Li Chengzhi is an elder, face to face with the future Family Head Successor Changlin, he dares not show any negligence.
"Second Uncle, Brother Changrui, I took the liberty to come uninvited; I hope you will not take offense," said Changlin. Despite the fact that Li Chengzhi and Li Changrui had both shown humility, Changlin would not act arrogantly.
"Young Master Changlin jests. We are family; it’s an honor for your second uncle to have you visit. How could there be any blame? Please come in, have a seat," said Li Chengzhi. Unable to guess Changlin’s intention, he promptly invited Changlin to sit down and called for the servants to serve tea.
Changlin did not stand on ceremony. After taking a seat, he invited Li Chengzhi and Li Changrui to sit as well.
"Second Uncle, there is a saying that one doesn’t go to a temple without a cause. In addition to coming to see you and Brother Changrui, there is another matter for which I would like to ask for your assistance," said Changlin. Of course, he couldn’t simply present the Grass Revival Pills immediately upon arriving; after all, it seemed a bit like trying to buy favor.
After seating himself, he began by discussing his intentions of investigating the Xiang Family. At that moment, a servant carrying a tray brought over a pot of fragrant tea, and Li Changlin courteously expressed his thanks.
Seeing such an approachable gesture from the esteemed Young Master Changlin, the servant was flattered and in a flurry, quickly stammering that there was no need for thanks before excitedly excusing and leaving.
"Young Master Changlin could have simply called Second Uncle for the data on the Xiang Family. There was no need to make the trip here in person." Li Chengzhi was slightly taken aback, having not expected Li Changlin to have personally paid a visit just to request information on the Shanghai Xiang Family.
Immediately, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the relevant contact, instructing them to quickly bring all the information on the Xiang Family to his residence.
After hanging up the phone, Li Chengzhi asked Li Changlin to wait and explained that all the family’s information was stored in a special location.
Li Changlin certainly understood this, so the three of them started making small talk, with Li Changlin also inquiring about Li Changrui’s martial arts progress.
To Li Changlin’s questions, Li Changrui responded with great respect. His demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, indicating that he harbored no feelings of resentment or dissatisfaction in his heart.
In truth, Li Changrui had indeed come to terms with the situation. Once he learned of Li Changlin’s true strength, he knew that he stood no chance of competing with him.
Not yet twenty-four, and his cultivation had already reached the same level as the old ancestor.
Moreover, even the old ancestor had increased his power to the Power of Four Dragons due to the pressure from Li Changlin, which made Li Changrui even more aware of the gulf between himself and Li Changlin.
The strength of Li Changlin also allowed Li Changrui to see the future prosperity of the family, so his heart was lifted with excitement, and he felt no envy whatsoever.
After chatting for a while, a knock gently sounded on the door. A Li Family member tasked with delivering the information had arrived.
Li Chengzhi allowed the person to enter, and they handed him a USB drive. All intelligence on the Shanghai Xiang Family was stored on this USB drive.
Of course, this USB was just a copy; the original intelligence would never be moved casually by the Li Family, as it pertained to significant family affairs.
Li Chengzhi waved his subordinate away and then handed the USB drive to Li Changlin, "Young Master Changlin, all the related information on the Xiang Family is saved in here. Essentially, it contains records of all information pertaining to the past five generations of the Xiang Family. If you find any oversight, you can call Second Uncle at any time, and I’ll arrange for the intelligence personnel to continue their search."
"Thank you, Second Uncle," Li Changlin said with a smile, taking the USB drive and standing up. "Second Uncle and Brother Changrui surely have matters to discuss, so I will take my leave now."
"Please take care, Young Master Changlin," Li Chengzhi replied with a smile, nodding. Beside him, Li Changrui quickly stood as well, with father and son escorting Li Changlin to the door.
Upon seeing Li Changlin come out, Chen Mingjiang, who was sitting in the tour car, quickly jumped down to open the door for Li Changlin.
Li Changlin smiled and asked Li Chengzhi and Li Changrui to stay where they were. As he bent over to get into the car, he suddenly paused, reached into his pocket, and took out a delicate small bottle to hand to Li Chengzhi, "I almost forgot, this is my first visit to Second Uncle’s home and I didn’t prepare any gift. Here are some Grass Revival Pills to serve as a meeting gift for Second Uncle and Brother Changrui."
"What, what is this!" Taking the small bottle from Li Changlin, Li Chengzhi’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
