170: Seeing through the plan

“You brat, delete that recording for me!”

“How could I!”

“Unless you, Dad, swear you won’t beat me after I delete it!”

“Alright! I swear, I won’t beat you after you delete it!”

Li Zun was helpless; after all, while it was true, if Yang Qian found out, she would surely drain him dry.

For the sake of his own safety, he still chose to compromise.

After Li Zun compromised, Li Yao was satisfied and deleted the recording.

“Done, Dad, you promised not to beat me, remember?”

Li Zun chuckled, then kicked Li Yao in the butt.

“Dad! You’re cheating!”

“Heh heh, I said I wouldn’t beat you, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t kick you!”

Li Yao was speechless after hearing that, giving Li Zun a big look of disdain.

His father was truly infuriating, but there was nothing he could do; it was his own father, so he had to swallow it.

However, he hadn’t actually deleted the recording directly; he had kept a backup.

What he deleted was just one of the backups.

If he really got angry, he would go down fighting!

Li Zun felt as if he had been outmaneuvered, shivered, and looked at Li Yao with a hint of exasperation.

“Brat, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

“I’m telling you, at my level of existence, I can sense it if any of you harbor ill will towards me in your hearts.”

Li Yao was completely stunned after hearing that. There was such a thing?

“Got it.”

“Alright, stop making that face at me. Go wash up, then go stroll around the streets.”

Regarding the Exchange Students program, Li Zun had already learned the truth from Yang Qian.

With so many potential daughters-in-law practically delivered to their doorstep, and them even being allowed to choose freely, such a good opportunity naturally couldn't be missed!

However, not everyone could pass their test.

At the very least, they wanted someone who genuinely cared for Li Yao, not someone who was after his talent!

Soon, Li Yao was swept out the door.

Rubbing his butt, Li Yao was quite helpless.

He was actually kicked out by his own father, and he even had to go flirt with girls.

Was this like flirting by imperial decree?

He was still just a seventeen-year-old, fifteen-month-old child!

He never expected to be reduced to flirting by imperial decree.

It was truly a bit unexpected.

“Dad is really something. It was just a recording, was it really necessary to kick so hard?”

As he complained along the way, Li Yao felt many eyes around him focusing on him.

It was that special feeling again, always feeling like he was being watched.

He felt a little depressed and numb.

“Is there something wrong with my senses?”

Li Yao fell into self-doubt.

Soon, Li Yao was strolling down the street, and without exception, a group of Exchange Students came forward for a “chance” encounter.

After all, with a group of powerful individuals observing from above, constantly reporting Li Yao’s whereabouts, wherever Li Yao went, there were always Exchange Students.

Although they didn't actively approach him, their gazes were constantly on Li Yao.

How terrifying.

...

Villa area.

After Li Zun kicked Li Yao out of the house, he felt very comfortable.

“Finally, I’ve kicked that brat out.”

“Husband, you really are something. He’s our son, you know.”

“So what if he’s my son?”

“Can’t a son be beaten?”

Li Zun’s matter-of-fact attitude left Yang Qian speechless.

However, Li Zun knew his limits when he struck, so she didn't say much.

“By the way, wife, I need to go to the Tianren Star System.”

“I need to personally collect the Materials that brat told me about.”

After all, this concerned his son’s Pet Beast issue. If successful, Li Yao would be the first Beast Master in history to possess three Mythic-grade Pet Beasts.

If this were discovered by others, they would likely launch a Universe war at all costs.

However, if these guys dared to start a war, they wouldn’t be soft-hearted either and would directly eliminate them!

With their current strength, it was indeed possible for them to achieve this.

Yang Qian also knew the importance of the matter, so she didn’t stop Li Zun from leaving.

The next day, Li Zun left home directly and once again headed to the Tianren Star System.

The Li Corporation in the Tianren Star System had already prepared all the necessary Materials and transported them to the main branch on Tianren Star.

So, Li Zun only needed to go to the main branch to bring the Materials back.

There were no accidents along the way; after all, if a Desolate-level Beast Master were to encounter an accident, it would likely cause a tremor throughout the entire Universe.

The third day.

Li Yao was cooped up at home, currently drinking cola and playing games.

These past two days had truly made him feel numb all over.

He felt he had seen through everything.

Everyone was deceiving him!

After tricking the Undead Nether Phoenix, he learned part of the truth from her, and he had already largely deduced what these Exchange Students were all about.

These Exchange Students were actually after his body, wanting to get their hands on him!

It was truly despicable!

He was still just a child!

The youngest of these Exchange Students was at least several decades old.

Although they say, “a woman three years older brings a golden brick.”

“A woman thirty years older brings an empire.”

“A woman three hundred years older brings an Immortal Pill.”

But did he need it?

No, he didn’t!

What was his status?

With three Titled Emperor Venerables backing him, couldn’t he run rampant in the Universe?

Just then, above the villa area, accompanied by a ripple in space.

Li Zun’s figure appeared from within.

“Wife! I’m home!”

His voice was very loud, clearly eager to share the joy of returning home.

Upon hearing Li Zun’s voice, Yang Qian’s figure instantly appeared.

Besides Yang Qian, Li Chengfeng and Yang Song also appeared.

Oh, and Li Yao was slowly approaching.

After all, he knew what his father had brought back.

Naturally, he came to greet his father.

“You’re back!” Yang Qian’s face was filled with continuous joy, clearly having been eagerly anticipating this for a long time.

Beside them, Li Chengfeng and Yang Song were also cheerful. It seemed they could all eat, drink, and have fun together again tonight.

The three of them had been enjoying endless merriment, drinking together for quite some time recently.

Li Zun stepped forward and gave Yang Qian a hug, then his gaze fixed on Li Yao.

Seeing Li Yao’s slow movements, he immediately became displeased.

“Brat, why are you still at home?”

“What about the task I gave you?”

Li Yao silently gave Li Zun the middle finger.

“Dad, I’ve already seen through your plan. You actually turned around and sold your beloved son. Shameless.”
