My name is Xia Mo, a member of the Super God Academy.
Li Xunle watched Qin Chuan's helpless and resigned state, his emotions a little heavy.
There was nothing he could do.
This world was just that cruel.
He, Zhao Hao, Li Chen, Sword Saint, Tang Long, Qin Chuan... everyone had their own struggles.
Compared to them, he was still the luckiest one.
No burdens, one person fed, the whole family not hungry.
Li Xunle felt a pang of melancholy.
He patted Qin Chuan's shoulder: "Take care! I'm off!"
Qin Chuan nodded dejectedly, the sorrow in his eyes immeasurable.
In Li Xunle's opinion, Qin Chuan was just a microcosm of the insignificant people in this world.
Such people were everywhere... Ninth District, ten miles east of the city.
When Li Xunle arrived, Li Chen, Sword Saint had already dug a pit with his sword, buried Zhao Hao, and built up a mound of earth.
Seeing Li Xunle's sudden appearance, Li Chen, Sword Saint's emotions were complex:
"You're here?"
"Mm."
"I'm sorry, because of my sister, your brother..."
"This is my problem, I should have come back sooner."
Li Xunle's voice carried a hint of melancholy.
His eyes gleamed with a trace of tears as he stared blankly at the mound of earth.
He hadn't expected that no matter how much he tried to protect him, he couldn't.
He had thought it was someone from the Lin family who killed Zhao Hao, but it wasn't; it was highly likely Qin Tian had ordered it... This was something he hadn't expected at all.
In Li Xunle's view, Qin Tian's motive was obvious: to escalate the conflict between himself and the Lin family, and between the Lin family and Wang Hong, to cripple Wang Hong and take his place.
Besides that, he couldn't think of any other reason.
Nor could he think of anyone else.
He needed to confirm with Qin Wangchuan; if it was truly him, he would eliminate him.
Li Chen, Sword Saint stood quietly in place, no longer speaking.
He wondered what he was thinking.
Here, only the two of them watched the mound of earth in silence, not saying a word.
Father Zhao, Mother Zhao, and Li Yue had been arranged by Li Chen, Sword Saint to stay in a hotel in the Eighth District.
Li Xunle's mind was filled with thoughts, his head full of funny memories of him and Zhao Hao pranking each other in the past.
His cowardly look... his fear of death... his perverted gaze when he saw pretty girls and couldn't move... his stingy, frugal appearance... his love for taking small advantages... his pathetic state running from monsters... After a long time, Li Xunle sighed, finally speaking:
"Li Chen, Sword Saint, you shouldn't have gotten involved in my dispute with the Lin family."
Li Chen, Sword Saint looked at Li Xunle seriously:
"I can't just watch you fight alone. I owe you too much. Your brother's death is closely related to my sister's revival."
Li Xunle turned slightly, looking at Li Chen, Sword Saint:
"Do you know what my talent is?"
"I don't know."
"SSS-level talent—Immortality!"
"Im... Immortality???"
"That's right, this secret, I've only told you."
Li Chen, Sword Saint was greatly shocked to hear this; he actually had the talent of Immortality, and it was SSS-level.
He had thought his own S-level talent was already abnormal enough.
Compared to this, the gap was too big.
Immortality meant infinite possibilities.
Li Xunle looked at Li Chen, Sword Saint's shocked expression and continued:
"Plus, I'm an orphan. I'm not afraid of anyone from the Lin family, not even Lin Shu. So I have the right to challenge anyone, but you guys are different."
"You and Wang Hao don't have that strength because you're not strong enough, and you have weaknesses."
Hearing this, Li Chen, Sword Saint immediately understood that the weaknesses he spoke of referred to relatives and friends.
For him, his sister was his weakness.
He shook his head, as if he had already planned it out:
"So, I'm going to enter Supergod Academy and become a Supergod Academy member. Immediate family members can receive absolute protection."
Li Xunle was slightly surprised to hear Li Chen, Sword Saint say this:
"Immediate family, absolute protection?"
Li Chen, Sword Saint nodded affirmatively:
"Yes, Supergod Academy has that capability, because the head and second-in-command of Supergod Academy are both Xia Country Guardians. Even top families wouldn't dare to provoke them."
Li Chen, Sword Saint was full of confidence.
Originally, he hadn't had this idea much, because his sister still needed his frequent care.
But now Li Yue had recovered.
Coupled with his involvement in the conflict with the Lin family, entering Supergod Academy was a very good choice.
The main reason was that Supergod Academy could provide absolute protection to the immediate family members of Supergod Academy members.
"That's good!"
Li Xunle highly approved of Li Chen, Sword Saint's choice and judgment.
He himself didn't have any particularly strong feelings about Supergod Academy.
Before, because of Zhao Hao, he still had some reservations.
But now, he had absolutely no reservations whatsoever.
The sky is high for birds to fly, the sea is wide for fish to leap.
The Lin family and Qin Wangchuan were the two problems he currently needed to solve.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
He believed they would come knocking on his door.
Li Xunle crossed his arms and glanced at Li Chen, Sword Saint:
"What's your plan next?"
"Sell equipment to pay you back, hide my sister, and prepare for the Supergod Academy assessment."
"Then let's go, I'll take you to sell equipment."
Li Xunle's gaze retracted from Zhao Hao's grave.
He planned to take Li Chen, Sword Saint to sell the equipment, then go confront Qin Wangchuan and ask if he was the one who killed Zhao Hao.
Li Chen, Sword Saint directly hovered his sword in front of him: "Come on, get on!"
On the way, Li Xunle contacted Xia Bingxue and Xia Changhe, informing them that he and Li Chen, Sword Saint were about to arrive.
The speed of the sword flight was very fast, much faster than traveling by car.
In just a few minutes, the two were sitting in Xia Changhe's office.
Besides Li Chen, Sword Saint and Li Xunle, only Xia Bingxue and Xia Changhe were in the office.
Xia Changhe was the first to speak with a chuckle:
"Li Xunle, it's been a few days, and you've gotten even handsomer."
Li Xunle forced a smile: "Boss Xia still knows how to talk."
Xia Changhe chuckled:
"This person next to you, is he Li Chen, Sword Saint?"
"Yes."
Xia Changhe immediately exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Chen, Sword Saint.
Soon, Xia Changhe got straight to the point:
"If you trust me, shall we go directly to the warehouse to estimate the equipment prices?"
Li Chen, Sword Saint nodded gently:
"Since Li Xunle trusts you, I naturally choose to trust you too."
Li Xunle slowly stood up: "Let's go! Let's get down to business!"
Xia Changhe suddenly said to Xia Bingxue:
"Oh, Bingxue, could you contact Xia Mo? It's good to have both of them here."
"Okay, brother," Xia Bingxue replied with a smile, then turned and walked out of the office.
Soon, all of Li Xunle and Li Chen, Sword Saint's equipment was tallied.
Li Xunle's equipment included: 107 five-star items, 65 six-star items, 26 seven-star items, and 8 eight-star items.
Li Chen, Sword Saint had slightly less equipment: 31 five-star items, 25 six-star items, and 8 seven-star items.
Of course, the two had already exchanged usable equipment; these were all items that could be sold.
Li Xunle did not take out the only nine-star [Fire Qilin Armor] to sell, because nine-star equipment was too rare.
After more than an hour of estimation, Xia Changhe found it difficult to give a reasonable price, because seven-star and eight-star equipment could fetch high prices at auction.
He could only estimate the prices of five-star and six-star equipment.
After negotiation, seven-star equipment was priced at 3 million per piece, and eight-star equipment at 8 million per piece.
Li Xunle's equipment had a total estimated value of 185.2 million.
Li Chen, Sword Saint's equipment had a total estimated value of 36.6 million.
Back in the office, Xia Changhe looked at Li Chen, Sword Saint and Li Xunle with a smile:
"Gentlemen, do you think the prices are suitable?"
Li Xunle nodded: "More or less."
Li Chen, Sword Saint also nodded, readily agreeing.
Xia Changhe laughed heartily:
"Good, you're both straightforward people. I'll transfer the funds now!"
In a few minutes, Xia Changhe transferred the money to Li Xunle and Li Chen, Sword Saint.
Li Xunle saw the huge sum in his card and felt completely financially free.
Li Chen, Sword Saint also breathed a sigh of relief; he wouldn't be short on money for a while.
Li Xunle forced a smile:
"Boss Xia, I wish you continued success in your business. We'll be taking our leave."
Just then, a young man with bright eyes and teeth, and an uncommon demeanor, walked in from outside the door.
He had a smile on his face:
"Li Xunle, Li Chen, Sword Saint, please wait!"
Li Xunle was very surprised: "You are?"
"Hello, my name is Xia Mo, a Supergod Academy member."
