Chapter 600: Chapter 288: The Complexity of Human Nature_1

“Have you remembered everything that I’ve mentioned?”

Maple Leaf City.

Within the territory of the Li Clan, the leading power among the three major families.

In a room where the light was slightly dimmed and inhabited by only two people.

There stood a black-clothed cultivator, whose body faintly exuded an aura unique to the Organ Refinement Realm.

At this moment, his expression was indifferent as he spoke to the current Family Head of the Li Family, Li Qing.

...

“I’ve remembered it all.”

Li Qing was still slightly bending his waist, with his head lowered.

His face was full of obsequious smiles.

“As long as you have remembered.”

“If you complete the task I’ve assigned to you, your Li Family will surely have a place within our Great Flame Dynasty.”

The black-clothed man said in a low voice.

And Li Qing, as the current Family Head of the Li Family.

His eyes shone with ecstasy upon hearing those words.

As the present head of the Li Family, the most prominent among Maple Leaf City’s three great families.

What was Li Qing doing all this for?

Wasn’t it for the future of the Li Family?

Wasn’t it for a promise?

Now, the dignitary before him was giving such a certain promise.

This made Li Qing’s heart swell with ecstasy and relief.

The ecstasy naturally stemmed from successfully obtaining a promise from the side of the Great Flame Dynasty.

And the relief came from…

The fact that he had thankfully chosen this path.

Although betraying the Luo Family of Qingshi City carried significant risks.

Looking back, all those risks seemed worthwhile.

“All right.”

“Since you have understood the matter.”

“I shall take my leave first.”

“I await your good news.”

Having finished speaking, the black-clothed cultivator turned and left the room with slow steps.

Heading towards the outside of the Li Clan territory at a leisurely pace.

Yet before the black-clothed cultivator had gone far.

Before the flicker of ecstasy had vanished from the heart of Li Qing, the Li Family’s current Family Head, within that room.

A servant dressed in grey from the Li Family.

At this moment, he hurriedly bustled into the room with an anxious look upon his face.

As the grey-clad servant ran towards him.

It seemed as though he was shouting something as well.

Li Qing sensed someone’s approach.

He lifted his head, looking forward.

When he saw the person drawing near was a servant from his own family.

He couldn’t help but frown slightly.

He had clearly stated before.

This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.

That regardless of the situation, everything should wait until he had finished his exchange with his esteemed guest.

However, the guest had not yet left.

And now, a servant from his own house had come rushing over in such a fluster.

This made Li Qing, the Family Head, somewhat displeased.

“What’s the matter?”

Li Qing gazed at the servant who had approached him, now standing right before him.

His face was solemn as he asked coldly.

At this moment, he had already decided in his heart.

If the matter was not of great urgency.

He would surely punish this servant properly.

To serve as a warning to others.

At least, to make clear to all servants of the Li Family.

That his, Li Qing’s, words should not be taken lightly.

In one ear and out the other.

“Family Head, something terrible has happened, something truly terrible…”

After reaching Li Qing,

The grey-clad servant gasped for breath heavily.

Even his voice was quivering from the overwhelming nervousness, terror, and unrest within him, making it difficult to articulate his words.

“What exactly has happened?”

“Speak quickly…”

Li Qing’s brows were tightly knotted.

His gaze towards the servant before him grew increasingly cold.

Noticing the unpleasantry in the Family Head’s eyes,

The servant lowered his head and took several deep breaths.

Only after he had calmed himself did he raise his head and said anxiously to Li Qing, the current Family Head, “Family Head, people from the Luo Family have arrived…”

Upon hearing this, Li Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Oh? The Luo Family has sent people?”

The grey-clad servant nodded repeatedly, then continued, “The Luo Family has sent an army to surround the entirety of Maple Leaf City. Now all four gates are tightly sealed, and no one can enter or leave.”

“Family Head, what should we do now?”

The more the servant spoke,

The greater the terror and unease on his face became.

And Li Qing, as the current Family Head of the Li Family.

Initially, while listening to these words,

Managed to remain calm.

But as time passed, and after the servant had spoken his entire message,

His complexion gradually took on a more troubled look.

“Is what you’ve said true?”

Li Qing still looked at the grey-clad servant before him with some disbelief, asking once again.

In response, the grey-clad servant quietly nodded and said, “Family Head, there’s no doubt about it. If you don’t believe me, you can go and see for yourself…”

At that, Li Qing’s face suddenly turned pale.

Qingshi City, Luo Family.

Despite previously not holding the newly risen and not deeply rooted Luo Family of Qingshi City in high regard,

If it really came to comparing his Maple Leaf City and the Luo Family,

The difference between the two was like that between the clouds and the mud, entirely incomparable.

Before, the reason why he had not feared the Luo Family of Qingshi City,
