168: Chapter 168 Li Yu, Battle Records Available

Qian Lei roared, "Intern my foot! This is our Bright Moon Company's Senior Cultivator, Li Yu! An expert in S-rank beast evolution and my idol!"

"Damn it, I haven't offended Old Fang, have I? Why did he send you to set me up? If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourselves, don't drag me into it!"

It was no wonder Qian Lei was so agitated.

Rumors had already spread throughout the company.

Li Yu, male, 18 years old, record:

1. Took down the entire Human Resources Department upon joining;

2. Took down a supervisor on the Eighth Floor upon becoming a full employee;

3. Took down the Vice President, the Eighth Floor Director, and several others after one month of employment.

With a record like this, even if he were an Intern with no strength at all, he could walk tall in the company. Who would dare provoke him?

Not to mention, this gentleman was also incredibly talented.

s-rank new species!

Numerous times!

Even those Senior Cultivators had to politely call him Teacher Li or Master Li when they saw him.

Who did Qian Lei think he was?

With his survival instinct maxed out, Qian Lei berated the Fang mother and daughter before turning to Li Yu with a fawning smile and saying:

"Master Li—no, no, Father Li—I was blind before, please don't take offense. I'm blind today, I didn't wear my glasses, otherwise I would never have dared to speak to you like that."

This stark contrast caused many of the surrounding Breeders to burst into laughter, but Qian Lei didn't dare criticize them and could only endure it.

Seeing their reliance acting this way, the Fang mother and daughter felt their hearts sink.

A sense of foreboding surged within them.

At this moment, Mother Fang's intelligence briefly returned as she caught the keywords from the conversation.

Senior Cultivator, Li Yu, expert in s-rank new species.

In an instant, she thought of a certain figure. A chill ran through her heart, and her entire body shuddered.

After Qian Lei was forgiven by Li Yu and left dejectedly, Mother Fang dragged her daughter over cautiously.

"You... you're that Master Li who solved the blood toxin, aren't you?" Mother Fang asked tentatively.

"It's me," Li Yu said.

"Impossible! You're clearly just a trashy Intern, stop lying!" Fang Xiaolei shouted agitatedly.

The backlash from her beast's death filled her with resentment toward Li Meng, and she couldn't accept that the Li Meng she had always hated actually had such an outstanding brother.

She immediately became incoherent, shouting excitedly.

But before she could finish, there was a loud "slap"—her mother had struck her.

"You hit me? You actually hit me?" Fang Xiaolei's eyes widened as she stared at her mother in disbelief.

"That... Master Li, I'm so sorry. The child is ignorant, and it's also our fault for being blind and not recognizing you. Please, be magnanimous and don't hold it against us." She wore a fawning smile.

"Mom... even you won't help me?" The resentment in Fang Xiaolei's eyes deepened.

Chen Qing watched this scene, her eyes narrowing slightly, her thoughts unknown.

Mother Fang couldn't afford to spoil her daughter now and looked at Li Yu with a nervous grin.

Li Yu countered, "What, not going to settle the score with me anymore? Not going to settle it with my sister?"

"No, no, no, it was all a misunderstanding before."

"So you're not going to kill me now?"

"A misunderstanding, it really was a misunderstanding. I was blind, please forgive me."

Hearing this, Li Yu let out a smile.

Seeing this, Mother Fang also broke into a joyful smile.

The next second.

"I refuse." Li Yu's face turned cold again.

Mother Fang's smile froze, then she forced another stiff smile and said, "You are a Breeding Master, please don't lower yourself to a child's level."

"She's just a child, making a joke. It's not a big deal."

"Maybe once they're at school, before long, they'll be good friends again. My family runs a beast material supply business. If the little girl needs any materials in the future, I'll give her a discount."

"It's all for our families, none of it is easy, right?"

Li Meng looked at her brother, opened her mouth, and then closed it. She didn't speak, fearing her words would interfere with her brother's judgment.

To be fair, she and Fang Xiaolei were classmates and didn't have any major conflicts, but Fang Xiaolei targeted her at every turn, which she found very annoying.

Especially just now, after she won, Fang Xiaolei still tried to have her beast attack her. This behavior tarnished the word "classmate."

As for the previous school bullying, she hadn't mentioned it, and her brother didn't know.

After thinking about it, Li Meng decided not to say anything or make any suggestions, respecting her brother's decision whether he forgave them or not.

"Do you think... I'm short on money for materials?" Li Yu asked back.

Mother Fang's expression froze.

Li Yu said, "I refuse to forgive. I will never forgive anyone who harms my sister. Whether it's a big matter or a small one, forget it!"

"I don't know what background your family has, but I'll find out soon. From now on, I will not receive anyone related to your family. Take care of yourselves."

After saying that, Li Yu took his sister's hand and turned to leave.

"Li Yu!" Mother Fang suddenly raised her voice. "Don't be so heartless!"

Li Yu turned back, narrowing his eyes.

"Any advice?" he asked.

Mother Fang stopped pretending and said with a fierce expression, "My family is in the material business, and there are many factions we are close with. Among them, the Earth, Rong Rong, and Qingfeng—the three major beast groups—are very familiar with my husband."

"The Commander of the Rongrong Group is a future Monarch-level Powerhouse who was in the spotlight during this beast tide! If you insist on making things difficult for us, you'll offend some important people."

As soon as she said this, the surroundings fell silent.

Li Meng, Zhou Ya, Chen Qing, and the surrounding Breeders all looked at her as if she were an idiot.

Wait, didn't she know where the Commander of the Rongrong Group's beast flew to the city wall from?

Has she always been this brave?

"I'll make a call."

As Li Yu spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Zhang Erniu's number.

When the call connected, he didn't say much else, just explained today's conflict and relayed Mother Fang's harsh words exactly as she had said them.

Hanging up, Li Yu looked at Mother Fang and said, "From now on, the Rongrong Group will likely have nothing to do with you. Stop trying to associate yourselves with them."

Mother Fang looked at Li Yu suspiciously, then sneered, "What big talk. Even if you're a Senior Cultivator, it doesn't mean you can order their commander around. Our Old Fang is a life-and-death friend of Commander Rongrong. How could an outsider like you compare!"

Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang.

"Take it. If you have more to say, say it after the call," Li Yu said calmly.

Mother Fang picked up her phone; it was her husband. She answered without hesitation.

"Hello, honey..."

"Shut up!" a roar came from the other end. "I'm not your husband! You're such an idiot! Of all the people not to provoke, you had to mess with Li Yu? Are you out of your mind?! Tell me, how did you and Fang Xiaolei provoke him!"

"This... did the Rongrong Group really cut ties with us? Aren't you and her life-and-death friends?"

"Life-and-death friends my ass! I'm just a small shop owner begging their group to buy from me! It's not just the Rongrong Group; the Qingfeng Group has also announced they're cutting ties with us! You damn idiot! Why didn't you just drop dead on the spot!"

The breakdown-induced roar came through the phone, and Li Yu, standing nearby, heard it clearly.

"Qingfeng Group?" Li Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He had only contacted Zhang Erniu. He didn't have the contact information for any other beast groups, even if he wanted to reach them.

Why did they cancel their cooperation too?

But Li Yu didn't care. Seeing Mother Fang's mournful expression, there was no point in arguing further, so he led his sister away.

"Let's go eat dinner, I'm starving."

"Oh."

The group left under the reverent gazes of the others.

Before leaving, Chen Qing looked back and glanced at Fang Xiaolei. In the other girl's eyes, she saw a deep, thick resentment.
