Chapter 1277: Chapter 1271 You Don’t Need to Thank Me

"Thank you, Young Master!" Huo Guangyao extended both hands excitedly, respectfully receiving the small bottle, his heart filled with extreme excitement.

This is power, a strength of ten thousand jin, bestowed upon him by Young Master Changlin. Huo Guangyao’s heart was inexplicably exhilarated.

As for Huo Yunjin and others, watching the small bottle in Huo Guangyao’s hand, each felt an indescribable admiration.

Li Changlin wanted precisely this effect, the so-called give a slap and then a sweet date, just like this.

Pushing Huo Hongxing to ascend, Li Changlin knew that many in the Huo Family were outwardly respectful but inwardly resentful, especially people like Huo Guangyao and Huo Yunjin.

In his presence, the Huo Family naturally dared not object, but once he left, people like Huo Guangyao might play tricks, possibly even marginalizing Huo Hongxing.

This was not the outcome Li Changlin wanted to see. Huo Hongxing was a shareholder in Rongguo Education, and in the future, he wanted to use the Huo Family for his own work, so he couldn’t let Huo Hongxing be sidelined.

Thus, a certain price must be paid to prevent disloyalty from the Huo Family.

Obviously, taking out the Grass Revival Pill immediately stirred the hearts of many.

Li Changlin desired precisely this result.

He glanced at everyone, speaking in a low voice, "I know the Huo Family has several half-step into Void Energy experts. As long as you assist Huo Hongxing diligently in the future and help me with certain tasks, I will not hesitate to reward you. Whether it’s the Grass Revival Pill or elixirs that directly enhance to the Boundary of Virtual Energy, I can provide. If you want my rewards, you must prove your value."

"We await Young Master Changlin’s lead in all things!" Led by Huo Guangyao, the Huo Family members deeply bowed to the ground.

Li Changlin was satisfied, allowing everyone to rise, then instructed further, "I wish to establish Rongguo Education. The Huo Family should focus on it. Huo Hongxing, you must arrange for capable clansmen to manage this project, as it concerns everyone’s rewards."

"Yes, rest assured, Young Master, I will not slack off." Huo Hongxing quickly agreed, with Huo Yunjin and Huo Guangyao promising the same.

With the temptation of the Life Fruit and Grass Revival Pill, the Huo Family members were as invigorated as if injected with adrenaline.

They were not fools, knowing there’s no free lunch in this world.

To receive Li Changlin’s rewards, they had to prove their worth.

Now, Li Changlin had given them a task—to develop Rongguo Education—ensuring they could not disappoint Young Master Changlin!

Seeing things settled, Li Changlin was naturally satisfied.

Although Huo Hongxing was recognized as the Family Head of the Huo Family, and there were some ceremonial rituals to conduct, these did not require Li Changlin to stay on site.

He departed gracefully, and the Huo Family members naturally dared not obstruct him.

Returning to Shanghai City, Li Changlin was surprised to find Li Changfeng waiting for him at the hotel.

At this point, Li Changfeng was no longer the arrogant person he once was. In front of Li Changlin, he appeared very composed, without his former frivolousness.

Li Changlin asked what Li Changfeng wanted with him, and Li Changfeng said, "Young Master Changlin, three ancestors of the Cheng Family have exited seclusion. It’s heard that a Messenger from the Upper Realm has arrived, who is an Inch Strength Expert."

"Oh, an Inch Strength Expert?" Li Changlin was slightly taken aback, asking in surprise, "Cousin Changfeng, how did you know about this?"

"I am now Cheng Hui’s subordinate." Li Changfeng did not hide anything, and it was necessary for him to explain this to Li Changlin beforehand.

Otherwise, if Li Changlin really considered him a traitor, all his efforts would have been in vain.

"You used the opportunity of me crippling your Dantian to connect with Cheng Hui?" Li Changlin was even more surprised. He certainly didn’t think Li Changfeng had allied with Cheng Hui out of envy and now came to confront him.

The Li Family had its rules; internal competition was tolerated as long as it didn’t affect the larger framework or go too far, and the family rules could accommodate that.

But betraying the Family would cross a principled line.

No matter your reasons, if you betray the Family and become an enemy, the end result is death, and none can save you!

"Yes, the old me was young and arrogant, thinking that being the Li Family’s Legitimate Son allowed me to act recklessly." Li Changfeng sighed deeply, saying with emotion, "After Young Master Changlin crippled my cultivation, I resolved to reflect and change myself."

"So, have you ever hated me?" Li Changlin asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng’s expression slightly froze, and his face twitched.

Ultimately, he decided to speak truthfully, nodding honestly, "I did hate you."

"That’s a very normal sentiment." Li Changlin nodded, then said calmly, "I roughly understand your thoughts. If you can truly change and I perceive your transformation, I will give you a chance."

Li Changfeng knew what opportunity it was, and he quickly stood up, grateful.

Li Changlin waved his hand, "You don’t need to thank me. As long as you achieve something, I will evaluate and reward you accordingly. However, there’s one point you must remember clearly: in this world, there are many, many people more powerful than us. No matter our stance, we cannot let the reputation of the Li Family be tarnished."

If Li Changfeng were not the Li Family’s Legitimate Son, Li Changlin would have already killed him.

Of course, it was also because Li Changfeng had not succeeded the last time.

If Qiu Yingying and Jiang Yiyun had truly been harmed, Li Changlin would not have let this fellow off so lightly.

Later, Li Changfeng took his leave, assuring Li Changlin that he would not disappoint Young Master Changlin.

For such promises, Li Changlin only smiled indifferently, not paying much attention.

By now, his strength had already surpassed Inch Force. He considered himself unmatched in the secular world.

Shortly after Li Changfeng left, Li Changlin received a call from the Journey to the West program team, informing him that they would be recording the second and third episodes that afternoon and inquiring if Li Changlin was available.

Li Changlin naturally agreed. The first episode of Journey to the West had aired with a good reception, and his popularity had increased significantly.

Near noon, someone knocked on the door, delivering a letter from the Cheng Family. Cheng Hui had set a banquet at the Junhao Hotel, inviting Li Changlin and Ye Xiyao to attend.

Li Changlin was slightly taken aback, unsure about Cheng Hui’s behavior, but he didn’t pay much attention to it, accepting the invitation.

Surprisingly, Cheng Hui had invited not only Li Changlin and Ye Xiyao but nearly all the elite of Shanghai City were on the guest list.

Everyone of any prominence in Shanghai City seemed to have received Cheng Hui’s invitation, making Li Changlin realize that he was not the main focus of this banquet.

He was curious but did not let it show on his face.
