144: The Yu family can't protect you forever... You're dead!

Since his trip to the Four Seas Pavilion, Li Qi had been much quieter, and the people who had been tailing him had vanished as if they had never existed.

Someone played a very important role in this whole matter.

Yu Zimo!

The Young Clan Leader of the Yu Clan's Fourth Branch!

After Feng Yuqin's introduction, Li Qi also understood Yu Zimo's identity; he indeed had significant capabilities.

The Yu Clan Royal Family was a large clan with thousands of members; the direct lineage alone was divided into eight branches, and Yu Zimo was the Young Clan Leader of the Fourth Branch, and he himself was also a Divine Soul Realm expert!

Yu Zimo personally went to the Heavens Mandate Society and issued a warning, telling Gu Shaoshang to withdraw the people tailing Li Qi, and he made one thing very clear.

If Li Qi lost even half a hair... the Heavens Mandate Society, from top to bottom, would not escape punishment!

Including Gu Shaoshang himself!

Gu Shaoshang dared not act out; after seeing Yu Zimo off, he immediately withdrew those people.

Yu Zimo and Feng Yuqin had a very good relationship; he had obtained many rare resources through Feng Yuqin's channels, and relying on these resources, Yu Zimo held significant influence within the Yu Clan.

For someone Feng Yuqin valued, Yu Zimo also valued them greatly.

After learning of Li Qi's trouble, Yu Zimo resolved it perfectly, and Li Qi was very grateful to Yu Zimo, establishing a friendship between the two.

After settling the trouble with the Heavens Mandate Society, Li Qi's life returned to peace; without those troublesome fellows around him, Li Qi's mood improved considerably.

"Waiter, one Deep Sea Watcher, please!"

Li Qi was feasting in a large restaurant in the Royal City, ordering and eating one of their signature dishes; although the name sounded like Cthulhu cuisine, it was actually a proper dish.

Although Li Qi had long since advanced to the Divine Soul Realm, and merely absorbing Celestial Origin Energy from the air could sustain his energy consumption, making it unnecessary to eat for sustenance, eating and drinking were habits accumulated over many years that he couldn't break, nor was there any need to.

Moreover, Li Qi could relax his mind while eating, so he was even less likely to change.

After ordering a few dishes, as Li Qi was happily eating, a figure suddenly sat opposite him.

Li Qi looked up and saw a young-faced man opposite him whom he did not recognize.

"You are?"

The man smiled faintly: "I am but a humble... just call me Gu Shaoshang."

Li Qi's pupils constricted slightly, and his body became a bit more alert.

He had heard that name; Feng Yuqin had told him that the head of the Heavens Mandate Society... was named Gu Shaoshang.

"Oh, I see. Do you need something from me?"

Gu Shaoshang smiled: "Of course, I'm here for my good-for-nothing younger brother. His name... is Gu Changqing."

Li Qi paused, a face appearing in his mind—that of a fellow who was both lewd and fierce; Li Qi's expression cleared, and he slowly said: "Oh, that flying stick warrior..."

Although Gu Shaoshang didn't understand what Li Qi meant by "flying stick warrior," he continued speaking to himself.

"Gu Changqing is a piece of trash. Sometimes I even wish I could kill him myself... But he didn't die by my hand; instead, he died by an outsider's hand..."

Gu Shaoshang's expression was somewhat morbid, somewhat sinister: "No matter what, Gu Changqing died by an outsider's hand, and I will not ignore it."

"Don't think that just because the Yu Clan protects you... you'll be safe and sound."

"The Yu Clan can't protect you forever; you're dead, hehehe... you're dead!!!"

Li Qi took a small sip of tea, his expression somewhat bored: "I thought you'd come over and tell me something important."

"If that's all you have to say, then you can scram..."

Gu Shaoshang ignored Li Qi's words; the aura emanating from him was like a poisonous snake, making people very uncomfortable.

Gu Shaoshang arrived silently and left without a sound, leaving only a bewildered Li Qi.

"Damn it, what's his problem!"

Li Qi drained his drink, then refilled it, and continued to eat and drink by himself.

Li Qi didn't care about Gu Shaoshang's threat; the other party was also a Divine Soul Realm expert, but his strength was only mediocre, and Li Qi didn't even bother to look him in the eye.

However, Gu Shaoshang had said one thing that was right... the Yu Clan couldn't protect him forever.

As soon as the Yu Clan showed a weakness or became lax, Gu Shaoshang would strike at Li Qi!

But the Yu Clan truly didn't need to protect him forever...

In two months, Feng Yuqin would leave, and the Four Seas Pavilion here would be managed by other members of the Feng Family; Li Qi would also leave with Feng Yuqin.

He would only stay in this Yu Clan Royal City for two months.

After that, the sky would be vast for birds to fly freely; who would care about Gu Shaoshang and his people then?

They could go to hell!

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Qi shook his head and returned to his home, feeling relaxed and content.
