Chapter 907: Chapter 908: The Impermanence of Worldly Affairs

The Tang Family was an Ancient Martial Family, and their assets were estimated to be between twelve and fifteen billion.

However, the Yan Family possessed only three to four billion in assets, merely a quarter of the Tang Family’s wealth.

With such a great disparity in strength, even with Li Changlin’s support, the Yan Family could not possibly compete with the Tang Family!

For a moment, many in the Yan Family wore an embarrassed expression on their faces.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

At that time, Li Changlin’s cellphone buzzed. He apologized then took out his phone to answer the call.

The call came from Fang Xiaowei, who personally led the team. He had subdued all members of the Tang Family at the factory, and now the Mo Family’s Younger Generation was loading the Jade Stone. Fang Xiaowei called to inquire where these jade stones should be sent.

"Send them to the Yan Family in Xiao Sang Village," Li Changlin instructed indifferently, then he hung up the phone. "Oh, and there’s something I forgot to mention. The jade stones I am providing you, the Yan Family, are roughly valued at around one hundred billion."

"What, what!"

"One hundred billion?"

"No way!"

"Good heavens!"

Li Changlin’s words stunned everyone.

Even Xie Wendong, who sat next to Li Changlin, felt somewhat unreal.

Although it was Xie Wendong who had personally arranged for surveillance at the Tang Family’s factory, he did not know the true value of those jade stones.

Now that Li Changlin had spoken out, he too was shocked.

One hundred billion, damn, that was terrifyingly valuable!

"You heard me correctly, it is one hundred billion, perhaps even more," Li Changlin said as he observed the shocked expressions of the Yan Family members with a sense of satisfaction.

"With that, I, we, the Yan Family, are willing to recognize Mr. Li as our leader." Thereupon, Yan Zehan stood up and respectfully bowed to Li Changlin, "Elder Yan Zehan greets the young master."

"Greet the young master?"

"Pay respects to the young master?"

One by one, the members of the Yan Family stood up to salute him. Under the pure carrot approach, Li Changlin effortlessly subdued another Family.

"Good, very good, everyone please have a seat," Li Changlin said with a smile, waving his hand, "Regarding our plan against the Tang Family, I’ve already got some preliminary ideas. Of course, I’ll make sure that the Yan Family does not suffer any losses. Additionally, the Yan Family will not be fighting alone, the Mo Family will also be cooperating with you this time."

"What, the Mo Family?"

"Young master, do you mean one of the ’Five Great Families,’ the Mo Family?"

"I had no idea that the Mo Family were also under the young master."

"If that’s the case, doesn’t this mean our Yan Family might have the opportunity to replace the Tang Family and become one of the new ’Five Great Families’ of Nanfu!"

Li Changlin’s words deeply excited many members of the Yan Family.

Li Changlin remained silent as he watched the various reactions of those present. Dealing with the mere Tang Family was certainly not a problem, although it seemed that the Tangs were a vassal to Jingcheng’s Cheng Family, which could pose some difficulty.

Overall, he still felt his own strength was too weak; if only he could advance to the Boundary of Virtual Energy sooner, then he’d have some life-saving methods at his disposal.

Of course, Li Changlin would not share these thoughts.

For now, his target was simply the Tang Family. If the Cheng Family really tried to get involved, he, Li Changlin, would not be afraid.

Before long, Zeng Yi pushed Yan Xueyi into the parlor. Yan Hongwei asked Li Changlin if he needed a place to stay, but with a wave of his hand, Li Changlin declined.

Then, he rose and walked straight over to Yan Xueyi.

At this moment, Yan Xueyi sat in his wheelchair, drool escaping from his mouth.

Since his cognitive abilities had been sealed, his intelligence remained at the level of a three or four-year-old child. Although he recognized all his relatives, he could not express himself.

Seeing Li Changlin, a flicker of fear passed through Yan Xueyi’s eyes. He felt the man in front of him seemed vaguely familiar, but upon trying to remember, he had no idea who he was.

"Li, Big Brother Li," Zeng Yi called out tentatively from behind the wheelchair.

Li Changlin snapped back to reality and smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, I’ll cure him."

"Thank you," Zeng Yi bowed her head slightly and murmured her thanks.

If you thought about it, it was somewhat ironic: Yan Xueyi’s cognitive abilities had originally been sealed by Li Changlin himself, so in reality, Zeng Yi should have had a grievance with Li Changlin.

Yet, in Li Changlin’s presence, Zeng Yi felt an innate submission, an inner attachment to him.

This feeling made Zeng Yi extremely anxious, so she dared not meet Li Changlin’s gaze, fearing she might make a foolish mistake and offend him.

Li Changlin did not dwell on these thoughts and gently placed his hand on Yan Xueyi’s forehead.

Then, with swift finger movements, the Pure Yang Qi of Drumming was channeled into Yan Xueyi’s mind, quickly dissolving the cognitive seal.

"Don’t kill me, no!" As Yan Xueyi’s thought processes began to normalize, a shrill scream escaped from his mouth.

He then looked up at Li Changlin standing before him and jumped up in fright.

"Brother, brother," Zeng Yi hurriedly reached out to support Yan Xueyi.

Yan Xueyi struggled violently, "Yi’er, let me go, you have to let go, he’s going to kill me, he really will kill me!"

Upon seeing Li Changlin, Yan Xueyi appeared as if he had seen a ghost.

In Yan Xueyi’s eyes, Li Changlin might even be more terrifying than ghosts and deities.

For the man before him was truly capable of taking his life.

At that moment, Yan Xueyi was terrified to the extreme, darting to hide behind Zeng Yi.

"Brother, Big Brother Li won’t kill you," Zeng Yi sighed reluctantly and let go of her hold.

But how could Yan Xueyi believe her? His memories were still fixed on the moment Li Changlin tried to kill him; he was completely unaware that much time had passed since then.

"Yi’er, you must not be loud," Yan Hongwei coughed and sharply rebuked.

Hearing his father’s voice, Yan Xueyi quickly looked up, and when he noticed not only his father but also his grandfather, many uncles, and some elders of the Family were all present, he froze in place, "Dad, grandfather, how come you all are at the hospital?"

"This is the parlor at home, not a hospital," replied Yan Hongwei with a bitter smile, then urged Yan Xueyi to settle down and listen as he explained the situation.

Seeing so many of his relatives, Yan Xueyi’s fear somewhat subsided.

Meanwhile, Li Changlin had returned to his seat, and through Zeng Yi’s coaxing, Yan Xueyi cautiously took a seat.

The wheelchair that had been left in the center was naturally removed by the servants.

Afterward, Zeng Yi softly explained to Yan Xueyi that it was Li Changlin who had sealed his cognitive abilities that day, and now Li Changlin had come to undo it.

For a brief moment, Yan Xueyi truly felt as if it was all just yesterday’s events, especially after listening to the conversation between his father, grandfather, and Li Changlin, realizing that the Family now recognized Li Changlin as their leader.
