Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 300 Drawing Fire to Oneself

Although he was not part of the Cultivator circle, he understood the terrifying influence an Alchemist could wield within it.

It could be said that an ordinary Alchemist, relying on their alchemical energy, could easily deal with a Cultivator one realm higher in Cultivation Level.

Li Xiaoyao had no intention of asking the old man for help; he just wanted to know some basic information, nothing more.

Before the dinner party, the old man called Lan Cai to the study.

"Cai'er, Grandpa has an idea," the old man said, looking at his granddaughter with tender eyes.

In the entire Lan Family, the person the old man valued most was now Lan Cai.

Because she had become a Cultivator.

"Grandpa, please tell me," Lan Cai thought the old man wanted to matchmake her with Li Xiaoyao, especially now that she also understood what it meant to be a Cultivator.

The old man stated, "I plan to let you take over all of the Lan Family's enterprises in Yun Country."

"What?" Lan Cai looked at her grandfather in surprise.

The old man affectionately stroked her hair and explained, "There are too few in the Lan Family capable of standing on their own, and outsiders have always managed things in Yun Country. Grandpa doesn't trust them. Your abilities are clear for all to see. If you could take over in Yun Country, the Lan Family could certainly reach new heights of glory."

If this were before, Lan Cai would have been very excited to hear such news.

But now, she no longer harbored such ambition.

As a Cultivator herself, her goals had completely changed; she wanted to be a free Cultivator, living a life double-cultivating with Li Xiaoyao.

Yet, the blood of the Lan Family flowed through her veins; how could she heartlessly refuse her grandfather's hopes?

"Grandpa, I..."

"It's okay, if you are unwilling, Grandpa will not force you," said the old man, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Lan Cai, unable to bear seeing him like this, replied, "I am willing."

"Really?" The old man smiled with relief and said, "Cai'er, I hope you can understand Grandpa's wishes."

Lan Cai felt a tinge of sadness but squeezed out a smile, "I am a child of the Lan Family; serving the family is my duty."

"Good, you can go out now, and be sure to receive Mr. Li well."

The old man watched the door close behind her and sighed.

His intentions for sending Lan Cai to Yun Country were not truly for her to take over the enterprises there, but for another plan altogether.

Pulling a satellite phone from a drawer, the old man dialed a number.

After the call connected, an aged yet strong voice answered, "Shanwen, what's the matter?"

"Big brother..."

...

The moment Li Xiaoyao had mentioned dealing with Yang Tianren, the old man had resolved in his heart to distance himself from Li Xiaoyao.

As a newcomer to the Cultivation World, it was a must to protect Lan Cai.

Thus, sending her to Yun Country, where the big brother could instruct her in Cultivation, was without a doubt the most suitable arrangement.

Moreover, in doing so, Lan Cai could be separated from Li Xiaoyao, ensuring that even if Li Xiaoyao was hunted down by the world for offending Yang Tianren, it would have nothing to do with her or the Lan Family.

At the dinner party, Li Xiaoyao sat to the right of the old man while Lan Cai sat to the right of Li Xiaoyao.

Throughout the dinner party, the old man did not mention anything about the Zheng Family nor Lan Cai's departure to Yun Country.

The dinner proceeded harmoniously.

After dinner, Li Xiaoyao received a call from Xiao Ya, who said she had news about Yang Tianren.

At noon, when Li Xiaoyao had spoken to the old man about Yang Tianren, the old man had been evasive, unwilling to address the matter directly. Having no other choice, Li Xiaoyao had asked Xiao Ya to help with the investigation.

"Where are you? I'll come to you."

"Okay, I know, I'll be there soon."

Hanging up, Li Xiaoyao was about to leave when Lan Cai suddenly pulled him back from behind.

"Xiaoyao," Lan Cai looked at him reluctantly.

"I have something to take care of," Li Xiaoyao stroked her hair and said, "Once I settle things with the Zheng Family, I'll take you back to Ling City."

"I..."

"Alright, I have to go now," Li Xiaoyao said, leaving before she could finish speaking.

What Lan Cai wanted to say was that she would be leaving Jindu for Yun Country.

The grandfather had arranged for her to take an early flight the next day, and Lan Cai had hoped to wait a few more days to find the right opportunity to tell Li Xiaoyao.

"I'll wait until later," Lan Cai thought to herself.

Later in the evening, when Li Xiaoyao was done with his business, she would call him and go to his place to spend their last night together.

...

The meeting place between Li Xiaoyao and Xiao Ya was a bar in Sanlitun.

At a table in the corner, Li Xiaoyao and Xiao Ya sat face to face.

"I heard Xu Wan died?" Xiao Ya stirred the Long Island Iced Tea in her cup, asking casually.

Raising his eyes, Li Xiaoyao smiled, "You're quite well-informed."

Xiao Ya, with a hint of pride, responded, "Though my Xiao Family is not as prominent as the Lan Family, we are not far behind."

"Tell me, where is Yang Tianren?" The bar was truly too noisy, and Li Xiaoyao raised his arm, erecting a Spiritual Power barrier that blocked out the sound.

The sudden quiet surprised Xiao Ya, who then looked enviously at Li Xiaoyao and said, "You Cultivators are amazing. I wish I were also a Cultivator."

Li Xiaoyao casually remarked, "Becoming a Cultivator is not difficult."

Xiao Ya, who understood something about Cultivators, replied with a bitter smile, "Easy for you to say. You have a talent for Cultivation; that doesn't mean everyone does. I certainly don't, at least."

"If I'm satisfied with your service tonight, I'll grant your wish," Li Xiaoyao felt Xiao Ya was quite nice. Although their relationship was built on mutual benefit, occasionally satisfying a small request from her was not out of the question.

Xiao Ya, however, paused at his words.

"Service? What kind of service?"

Li Xiaoyao was also taken aback, having misspoken in a moment of haste.

"Ahem," he coughed lightly a few times to mask his embarrassment.

Xiao Ya's expression changed, and her beautiful eyes turned crescent-shaped; the hand holding the glass gently climbed onto the back of Li Xiaoyao's hand.

"What kind of service would you like, my lord?"

Li Xiaoyao was no green youth and remained very composed in the face of Xiao Ya's deliberate flirtation.

Glancing briefly, he warned, "Woman, don't play with fire, lest you invite it upon yourself."

Xiao Ya, completely unconcerned, retorted, "Only if you're afraid of the burn."
