Chapter 714: Chapter 714_1

Lee Longqing is too important for the Lee family. He has the talent to become the second Martial Saint, but without the South Sea Mermaid Pearl, he could not reach the Martial Saint level.

The Seven Kills Sword Technique of the Lee family is extremely powerful but it also brings great drawbacks. When progressing from the Martial King Realm to the Martial Saint Realm, that is, from the Acquired State to the Innate State, the Seven Kills Sword Technique would lead to backlash.

Li Zhongxin managed to become a Martial Saint because he was fortunate to obtain a South Sea Mermaid Pearl, which helped him step into the Innate Stage and prevented him from going into demonic cultivation.

Over the years, the Lee family has cultivated numerous Ninth Grade Martial Kings, some of whom attempted to advance to the Martial Saint Realm, but all had failed.

The South Sea Mermaid Pearl is a key to advancing to the Martial Saint level, and Lee Longqing needs this key.

The second reason also has to do with Lee Longqing. In his thirties, he remains unmarried. Although he is devoted to his cultivation, he is still a vigorous man with human desires and emotions. But Longqing only occasionally fulfills his physiological needs and has refused multiple marital arrangements organized by the Lee family.

It was later that Li Ronghui discovered that Lee Longqing was also fond of this woman. If it weren’t for the father-son relationship, Longqing would likely have been secretly involved with this woman.

An uncle competing with his nephew for a wife has already become a talking point in Feng Yang. If another drama of a son and father fighting over a woman were to unfold, the reputation of the Lee family would be beyond saving.

The family’s elder would definitely not tolerate such events from happening.

Li Ronghui was also troubled about how to properly handle this. The best option would be to banish or eliminate this woman directly, but Li Ronghui couldn’t do it. He had always been a hedonist and he genuinely could not harden his heart against this woman.

It just so happened that He Lian Xuan introduced this condition. Although Li Ronghui was reluctant, Li Zhongxin, his elder cousin, gave his approval and Li Ronghui did not dare to defy him. Thus, he reluctantly gave his beloved woman to He Lian Xuan.

Now that the transaction failed, and his woman had already been slept with by He Lian Xuan, Li Ronghui naturally had qualms and felt a strong anger. How could he not be angry about his beloved woman being played with by He Lian Xuan for this period of time?

In fact, He Lian Xuan was also unwilling to give the woman back, so he sought Su Chengyu for the matter of the South Sea Mermaid Pearl. After being rejected, he became so angry. It was not only because he felt Su Chengyu was disobedient and defiant.

He also felt that if Su Chengyu did not agree, he would not be able to keep the woman and the Lee family would not easily let this slide.

He Lian Xuan massaged his forehead and slowly said, "Isn’t she also someone you took away from someone else? Where is the perfect jade you speak of?"

"It’s not the same! He Lian Xuan, let’s not beat around the bush. I’ve already given the woman to you, but I must get the South Sea Mermaid Pearl. As for how you do it, that’s your business." Li Ronghui said coldly.

He Lian Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Give me some time."

Li Ronghui snorted and hung up the phone. He Lian Xuan put down his phone, tapped his fingers on the table and said helplessly, "Su Cheng, Su Cheng. I value you so much and planned to support and promote you actively. If you make a success in the Dragon Soul, it would also be beneficial for me. But why do you have to make trouble for me? You neither know how to appreciate it nor can you follow the right path."

"Since this is the case, you can’t blame me for being heartless towards you. It’s you who’s made your own path narrower."

After He Lian Xuan finished speaking, he took out his phone and made a call, asking Xu Jianglong to come over.

When Xu Jianglong heard that the Grand Minister had summoned him, he immediately became nervous and hurried over, nervously unsettled.

"Greetings, Grand Minister." When Xu Jianglong saw He Lian Xuan, he hastily saluted, his heart filled with sincere fear and anxiety.

"Sit down." He Lian Xuan said indifferently.

Xu Jianglong saw that He Lian Xuan’s face was expressionless, which made him even more uneasy about why He Lian Xuan had called him. He went over and sat down, but he didn’t even dare to sit firmly.

"Don’t be nervous, have some tea."

He Lian Xuan saw that Xu Jianglong was nervous, so he handed him a cup of tea. Xu Jianglong quickly took it with both hands and said, "Thank you for the tea, Grand Minister. I don’t know what I did wrong. Please give your guidance, and I will definitely correct it."

He Lian Xuan laughed heartily and then said, "Jianglong, you have been in the Dragon Soul for many years and have been diligent and conscientious. I can see it! The punishment on you this time was also out of necessity. When the Black Dragon Commerce Association stormed the Dragon Soul, if I do not take a stand, and if this matter were to be reported, no one will have any advantage."

"This matter relates to the reputation of the Dragon Soul. Since Yin Huan can’t even distinguish priorities, he deserves to be dismissed."

Xu Jianglong didn’t dare to express his opinion on the side. He Lian Xuan continued, "Now that Yin Huan has died, there must be someone in charge of the Jiangnan Dragon Soul. Who do you think should replace Yin Huan as the Grand Airspace Officer of Jiangnan?"

Xu Jianglong quickly stood up and said in fear, "Appointment and dismissal of personnel is the Grand Minister’s sole decision. I dare not interfere. Whoever the Grand Minister appoints is the most suitable. I will definitely make every effort to assist the new Grand Airspace Officer in managing Jiangnan and ensure that there will be no disorder."

He Lian Xuan gestured and said, "Why are you so nervous? What I mean is, I want you to replace Yin Huan and take charge of the Jiangnan Dragon Soul. Would you be willing?"

Hearing this, Xu Jianglong was momentarily stunned. The Jiangnan Dragon Soul is the strongest among the Longjiang Four Provinces. While it is not as significant as Feng Yang and Danyang, the position of the Grand Airspace Officer was always filled by one of He Lian Xuan’s trusted aides. Yin Huan used to be one of He Lian Xuan’s most trusted subordinates. However, he, Xu Jianglong, was not powerful enough and had never considered this.

"What... Grand Minister, what did you say?!"

Xu Jianglong’s eyes widened, completely unable to believe his own ears. Such a coveted opportunity, how could it fall on him? By rights, the Grand Airspace Officer of Jiangnan should be appointed by either a Martial King or an Eighth or Ninth Grade Marquis.

"I mean to let you take charge of the Jiangnan Dragon Soul. Why not? Are you not willing?" He Lian Xuan said.

"No, no, no, I am willing to give it my all. It’s just that my realm is only a sixth-grade Marquis. Taking charge of the Jiangnan Dragon Soul, I am afraid it will be hard to convince everyone..."

Xu Jianglong felt too unreal. He had just been punished, and suddenly he was put in charge of the Jiangnan Dragon Soul. It was really baffling.

"The realm issue is not a problem. As long as you are willing, I will help you enhance your realm. Besides, with me backing you and personally appointing you, who could dare to defy?" He Lian Xuan said gravely.

Hearing this, Xu Jianglong realized that this was the greatest opportunity of his life.

Xu Jianglong did not hesitate and immediately knelt down, saying to He Lian Xuan, "Thank you for your trust, Grand Minister. I am willing to give my life and will not fail your high expectations. I absolutely will strive to repay you to the last breath, even if it means death."
