Chapter 1180: Chapter 1174: Lingering Ghost

This is the real disaster. Where can you find a betting ratio of ten to one? Tianhai is essentially required to pay out three billion yuan, and with the other players’ bets included, this time Tianhai is looking at a compensation of over forty billion yuan—it’s a severe drain on their spiritual qi!

Just thinking about it gives Tianhai a headache, and his heart is filled with unbearable depression.

However, he dare not delay this compensation. The Brother platform has too big of a background. If he tries to flee, it would be a dead end without a doubt!

Moreover, even if Brother won’t cause him trouble, Chuantou Guang believes Cheng Hui would not let him off either.

At this point, it seems he only has one option left!

Chuantou Guang made a resolute decision in his heart.

Tianhai’s losses are indeed significant, but in fact, the losses are still within a controllable range because there were even more players betting on Liushui Suifeng to win, with a total amount reaching over twenty billion yuan.

After calculating, Tianhai is essentially looking at a loss of just over ten billion yuan. Although it’s a heavy blow that shakes the foundation, it won’t lead to bankruptcy for Tianhai.

While Chuantou Guang was figuring out the losses and how to recover from this setback, Li Changlin had already finished his live broadcast.

According to the normal broadcasting schedule, Li Changlin was supposed to continue streaming until either twelve or eleven-thirty, but he suddenly received a text message from Qian Ziwei. It turned out that the Xiang Family had changed their mind at the last minute, claiming due to some reasons Xiang Anyi couldn’t make it, and they hoped the Qian Family could arrange for Qian Ziwei to go to Shanghai City for a blind date, which was set the day after tomorrow.

If the blind date was the day after tomorrow, Qian Ziwei must rush to Shanghai City tomorrow. By then, the Qian Family would have various preparations to make, and Li Changlin would definitely need to go there as well, not to mention that the Xuanyuan Good Voice Top Eight battle was about to begin, and Li Changlin couldn’t stay in Capital City indefinitely.

Additionally, there was another point: Li Changlin needed to inform Lin Ruonan. Although Lin Ruonan was coming over tomorrow, it wouldn’t be right for Li Changlin to suddenly tell her that he has to leave immediately.

Telling Lin Ruonan now would allow her to make some preparations as well.

After ending the broadcast, Li Changlin immediately called Lin Ruonan and told her about Qian Ziwei’s situation.

Hearing that Li Changlin would return to Shanghai City tomorrow, though it indeed seemed a bit hasty, Lin Ruonan did not object.

After all, she was determined to go with Li Changlin, and because of what happened during the day, her heart had undergone significant change. She no longer fixated on the issue of Li Changlin’s playfulness; now, she just wanted to be with him forever.

The next day, Lin Ruonan visited the Li Family, where Li Changlin introduced her to his two mothers and the family elders, then proceeded to prepare for their return to Shanghai City.

These arrangements were naturally taken care of by Chen Mingjiang. However, he and Shisan Jian would still stay in Capital City because Li Changlin needed them to monitor the movements of the Seven Great Families.

There was no need to watch over the Li Family, as when it came time to ask for the family’s Divine Artifact, all Li Changlin had to do was bring back the old ancestor.

From what Li Haoge had told him, Li Changlin came to know that the Li Family’s Divine Artifact, the Qiankun Ding, was in the hands of the old ancestor who possessed the Half-step Inch Strength. Indeed, the family also had imitation Divine Artifacts that could significantly enhance one’s power.

However, such secret techniques required one’s own lifeblood as a catalyst, so the side effects are extremely severe, and it’s best not to use them lightly unless necessary.

Understanding this, Li Changlin naturally dismissed the idea of using the imitation.

The Li Family’s Divine Artifact was the Qiankun Ding, which had substantial power. However, for Li Changlin, the imitation wasn’t of much use; after all, in his Storage Box, there was the Heaven-Reliant Sword, an unmatched Divine Weapon.

If one were to talk about sharpness and effectiveness alone, the Heaven-Reliant Sword would certainly outclass the imitation of the Qiankun Ding by several leagues.

Of course, if it were a real Divine Artifact, it would naturally be a whole different story.

After settling a multitude of affairs, Li Changlin, accompanied by Lin Ruonan and naturally, Huang Yingjie, set off.

Qian Ziwei, of course, did not meet with Li Changlin as she was escorted to Shanghai City by the Qian Family’s people, precisely because they were concerned she might act willfully and run away on her own.

In truth, even without Li Changlin backing her, Qian Ziwei would not behave willfully because she also had to consider her younger brother’s safety.

With Qian Bao under the control of the Qian Family, Qian Ziwei would not rebel against the family’s arrangement, no matter the circumstances, for the sake of her brother’s safety.

If it weren’t for Li Changlin already having a place in her heart, it’s quite possible that this girl might have really accepted the family’s arrangement and ended up with Xiang Anyi.

Of course, all this talk is hypothetical; Qian Ziwei arrived in Shanghai City early in the morning with some of the Qian Family’s experts, and they stayed in a hotel.

Since the blind date was set for the next day, the Qian Family’s people naturally had no intention of visiting the Xiang Family just yet.

Being a second-tier power themselves, now seeking a marital alliance with the third-tier Xiang Family, the Qian Family was already lowering their stance. If they were to reside in the Xiang Family’s home before even meeting for the blind date, that would be utterly shameless.

Even if Qian Ziwei didn’t mind, Qian Shan, the elder leading the Qian Family delegation, would never do such a thing.

Qian Ziwei did not know that the hotel they were staying in was actually the same one where Li Changlin was staying.

Moreover, Huang Yingjie’s room was right next to Qian Ziwei’s.

The entire Qian Family group stayed on the eighth floor.

As for Li Changlin and his party, they set off in the afternoon.

By the time they arrived in Shanghai City, it was already past five o’clock, around dinner time.

Since Li Changlin had informed Ye Xiyao by phone before departing, and once again called after landing, when they returned to the hotel, the meals were already delivered to the restaurant.

Everyone gathered around a table for a simple meal. Lin Ruonan and Ye Xiyao really got to know each other and after dinner, the two went into the bedroom for a whisper chat. The specific content was, of course, unknown to Li Changlin.

In the evening, Li Changlin naturally started his regular live broadcast.

He hadn’t been logged into the live broadcast room for long when Tianhai sent another challenge. Li Changlin felt annoyed, as Tianhai seemed to be a persistent nuisance.

"Damn it, what’s Tianhai’s deal? Is he picking a fight with Brother Changlin?"

"For real, this time he didn’t even send a heads-up, just straight up challenging! Brother Changlin, don’t bother with him!"

"Exactly, why is everyone trying to challenge Brother Changlin? Are they hoping to rise to prominence by stepping over our Brother Changlin?"

"This Ironclad Invincible is no simple character, Brother Changlin, you must not pay him any mind. Ironclad Invincible’s live shows are stand-up comedy. Damn it, he’s trying to trap you!"

Many in the live broadcast room were former Feixue Legion and Changlin Family fans, but even more were original players from the Brother Live community.
