126: Chapter 126 The Origin of Poisonous Bamboo Shoots

The sudden scene startled everyone.

Supervisor Song shouted, "Li Yu! Calm down!"

Li Meng's eyes lit up. She felt that her brother was incredibly handsome at this moment; that domineering declaration—oh my god—it felt like her brother was glowing.

Zhou Ya was stunned, the scene of Li Yu's recent move replaying in her mind over and over. Her heart was beating uncontrollably, thumping as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

Only Chen Qing stood there in deep thought, showing no reaction at all.

Seeing their young leader get hit, the members of the Da Di Corps shouted and rushed forward.

Swish—

A sword was unsheathed, and Chen Qing cast a cold glance at them.

That icy, emotionless gaze instantly made the members of the Da Di Corps gasp, and they dared not advance further.

Liu Yiming climbed up from the ground, pointed at Li Yu, and shouted with a sinister expression, "You damn bastard, you dare to hit me? You're finished! No one has ever dared to hit me like this since I was a child. Just you wait, my dad won't let you get away with this!"

"It seems your dad isn't doing a good job as a father, since he never beat such a stupid son," Li Yu sneered.

"You!" Liu Yiming pointed at Li Yu. "Just wait, you just wait!"

Fearing that Li Yu would rush over to beat him again, Liu Yiming finished speaking and bolted out of the cultivation room. Once at the door, he roared again, "Just you wait!"

The group of members looked at each other in dismay.

"What are you still standing there for?" Li Yu swept his gaze over them. "Take your beast and get lost!"

The crowd seemed to wake from a dream. With a "whoosh," they hurriedly recalled their beasts and fled the cultivation room as if escaping.

In the blink of an eye, the rowdy cultivation room was left with only Li Yu and his group.

Zhou Ya lowered her head, walked up to Li Yu, and said, "I'm sorry, I messed up."

"It was a problem with the materials, not your fault. You did very well, very well indeed."

Li Yu's comforting words made Zhou Ya's heart tremble. She looked up, her face filled with astonishment and daze.

So, when things go wrong, it's possible not to be scolded or beaten? Is it possible to be cared for?

Li Yu looked at Li Meng again. "Good performance, successfully protecting the socially anxious Breeder. You've got some of your brother's style."

Li Meng raised her chin and chuckled. "Old brother is really full of himself."

"Hahaha~"

Li Yu laughed heartily, not caring at all. Catching a glimpse of Supervisor Song's depressed expression, he said, "Supervisor Song, relax, these are all small matters."

"Li Yu, no, Father Li, you don't understand the Da Di Corps. Haven't you heard of their notorious reputation?"

Supervisor Song said with a bitter smile, "If it were any other group, it would be fine. The Da Di Corps is famous for being vengeful and narrow-minded."

"Liu Yiming is a good-for-nothing with mediocre skills, but his father dotes on him like a treasure and indulges him in everything. The entire Da Di Corps will be handed over to him in the future."

"You hit him, do you think his father will let it go? I'm not worried about them coming at us openly; Bright Moon Company isn't something to be trifled with. But what if they play dirty?"

Supervisor Song's words caused the smiles on everyone's faces to gradually fade.

"They wouldn't dare openly target a Senior Cultivator, but what if they block your sister on her way to school, block you on your way home from work, or use some dirty tactics near your home? What would you do then?"

"They wouldn't, right?" Li Meng said cautiously. "That would be too shameless."

"Shameless?"

Supervisor Song shook his head. "Other groups care about their reputation, but the Da Di Corps is shameless. They are capable of anything."

These words made Li Meng's face suddenly turn pale, and Zhou Ya also lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault," Zhou Ya said.

"It's my fault too. Big brother only offended them to avenge us," Li Meng said, looking guilty.

Seeing their reaction, Supervisor Song didn't want to say anything harsh anymore and turned his gaze to the thoughtful Li Yu.

"What about you? What are your thoughts?" Supervisor Song asked.

Li Yu pondered for a moment and looked at Chen Qing. "How does your strength compare to the leader of the Da Di Corps?"

"Killing him, no problem."

"Then how about we just kill him? To eliminate future trouble."

"I'll listen to you."

Supervisor Song, Li Meng, and Zhou Ya looked at the two in astonishment, surprised at how they could speak about such a huge crisis so nonchalantly.

"Li Yu..."

Supervisor Song had just started to speak when he was interrupted by Li Yu.

"Alright, since it's already happened, there's a way to solve it. You don't need to worry about this. Just report what happened in this cultivation room truthfully."

Li Yu said nonchalantly.

In his view, the threat of the Da Di Corps really wasn't that big, certainly not as threatening as those from the other faction within the company.

For one thing, the Rongrong Group and the Da Di Corps were at odds, and now that their leader had evolved the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon, their strength, even if not overwhelming, was at least firmly above the Da Di Corps.

As long as Zhang Erniu stepped in, even if the Da Di Corps were dissatisfied, they wouldn't dare do anything to him.

It wouldn't be worth it for them to fall out with another group stronger than them over a small conflict.

Even if the Rongrong Group weren't willing to help.

Li Yu could have Chen Qing execute a decapitation plan and silently take out the Earth Group Leader.

Although he didn't know the strength of the Da Di Corps, he trusted Chen Qing.

Even taking another step back.

If Chen Qing happened not to be a match for them, in the current situation, the authorities would not tolerate the Da Di Corps attacking a Senior Cultivator.

As long as he solved the blood toxin problem and became famous, the Da Di Corps would be even less likely to dare to touch him.

"Li Yu." Chen Qing suddenly called out.

Li Yu came back to his senses and realized that Supervisor Song had already left.

Li Meng explained, "He went to report what happened."

"Oh." Li Yu nodded and looked at Chen Qing. "What's wrong?"

Chen Qing didn't speak but walked straight outside. Li Yu was puzzled, so he told his sister and Zhou Ya to rest first and followed her.

The two walked all the way to the end of the hallway, to the stairwell. There were no cameras here, no people, and it was quiet.

"What matter requires us to talk in such a hidden place?" Li Yu asked.

"I know about that fake poison spirit bamboo shoot."

"You know?!"

What Li Yu thought of wasn't the poison spirit bamboo shoot, but the yellow crystal that appeared along with it.

Chen Qing said, "Before I took the mission to kill you, I escorted several shipments for the organization, all sent to the Bright Moon Company warehouse. The most recent one was that batch of poison spirit bamboo shoots."

"And then?" Li Yu asked again.

Chen Qing said, "These materials weren't meant to be used. They were meant to be scrapped legally and compliantly using Bright Moon Company's procedures. This time, it must have been an accident."

Hearing this, Li Yu suddenly realized something. Not knowing what he thought of, he smiled and said, "So, this time Zhou Ya accidentally did a good thing."

Chen Qing was confused and looked at Li Yu with suspicion.

"Is Jin Yulong behind it?" Li Yu asked.

"Yes."

"Can you find any solid evidence?"

"Yes, but it's difficult. I can recover the records from Jin Yulong's computer and copy them, but this guy is very cautious and won't easily leave his office."

"If these materials really cannot be discovered..." Chen Qing looked at Li Yu, implying something, "Then right now, he has already set off."

Chen Qing was slightly startled, then her expression turned serious, even a bit eager.

"I'll go right now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she skillfully opened the window at the corner of the stairs and vaulted out. Li Yu watched with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

"That movement... so smooth."
