Sitting in the taxi, Li Xiaoyao suddenly realized that the powerful energy he prided himself on seemed to have no place in Jindu.

Before coming, he hadn't even bothered to specifically look up where the Lan Family resided.

As the taxi entered the fifth ring, the driver asked, "Young man, where to?"

"Find a five-star hotel inside the third ring." A hotel would have to do as a temporary lodging. As for the Lan and the Zheng Families, he'd need to put in some effort to find them.

Jindu was too vast. If Li Xiaoyao wanted to search using his mind, it would be too troublesome.

Once he arrived at the hotel and had just finished checking in, his phone rang as he stepped into the elevator.

It was an unfamiliar number, with the caller ID showing Zhongzhou.

"Could it be the Wu Family?" Li Xiaoyao thought to himself, not ruling out the possibility.

The Wu Family daring to come directly to Ling City to trouble him must mean they were unafraid of him, a brazen act that made sense.

"Who is this?" Li Xiaoyao pressed the answer button, standing in the far corner of the elevator, in front of him was a group of young men and women, talking and laughing.

"It's me, you little punk," Jiang Lichun's voice came through the phone, his sleaziness apparent even to Li Xiaoyao.

"What's it?"

"I've already mentioned the matter of the ancient tomb to several Sect Leaders here in Zhongzhou. We'll get ready in the next few days and then set off. You wait for me in Ling City."

Li Xiaoyao switched the phone to the other hand and said, "I don't have time, I'm currently in Jindu."

He hadn't really been paying much attention to the ancient tomb matter.

Truthfully, the Demon Beast guarding the tomb had a Cultivation Level that was terrifying. Li Xiaoyao had no confidence he could fight it.

Since he was just planning to follow behind and reap the benefits, Li Xiaoyao naturally had the mindset of someone skimming the profits. It was best to let them fight first, and once the battle was nearly over, he would enter the ancient tomb.

Even for experts like Jiang Lichun, dealing with a Spirit Cultivation Realm Demon Beast guardian would probably take some time.

"Why are you going to Jindu?" Jiang Lichun asked. "When can you come back?"

"About a week."

"You little punk, always causing me trouble." After complaining a bit, Jiang Lichun said, "Then I won't wait for you. Come over immediately after you get back."

"Stop nagging, I got it." Li Xiaoyao, impatient, was about to hang up when he heard Jiang Lichun shout, "Wait, you little punk, did you say you're in Jindu now?"

"What about it?"

Jiang Lichun chuckled twice and said, "One of the fortune-telling descendants from the Xuan Sect's five paths is now in Jindu. Where are you? I'll have them come to find you, have a good bonding session."

"Don't, I have important things to deal with this time, no time to mess around with your people."

"What do you mean 'my people'?" Jiang Lichun said discontentedly. "Kid, you are now an Elder of the Xuan Sect, we're all one family. Enough chit-chat, give me your address."

Li Xiaoyao was going to refuse again, but then a thought flashed through his mind, and he said, "I'm at the Marriott Hotel's Presidential Suite 888 in the third ring."

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoyao's mouth turned up into a smile.

People from the fortune-telling path of the Xuan Sect were in Jindu. They must have a certain status there. In that case, details on the Lan and Zheng Families could easily be obtained by asking them.

"I heard the old man is really not doing well this time," the young people standing in front of Li Xiaoyao were saying.

"Heard he was upset by Lan Cai."

"Upset by Lan Cai? What did she do?"

"Our Lan Family is on the decline now, right? Several elders are thinking of changing direction for our clan, but the funds are tight, so they went to the Zheng Family of Jindu hoping for support. But the Zheng Family isn't stupid, you show nothing and just open your mouth asking for money, who would lend to you?"

"So, the elders came up with a method, marriage alliance!"

"Marriage alliance?"

"Yes, it's an arranged marriage. Lan Cai is indeed beautiful, it's said that the number of men in Jindu who chase after her could line up along Chang'an Street. The elders arranged for Lan Cai to marry the young master of the Zheng Family, but Lan Cai was unwilling. Her grandpa got so angry that he fell ill, and right now he's still not out of the danger period."

"Hey, this Lan Cai is really ungrateful."

"Isn't that the truth? Because of this, even we distant relatives have to rush back."

Li Xiaoyao listened to everything in the back, clearly and unmistakably.

Life is indeed full of coincidences; descendants from a side branch of the Lan Family happened to run into Li Xiaoyao in the hotel elevator.

"You're from the Lan Family?" Li Xiaoyao asked abruptly, without any warning. The sudden voice scared everyone half to death.

"Hey, dude, were you born in the Year of the Cat? Can't you give a warning before you speak? You're scaring people to death here."

Li Xiaoyao smiled and asked again, "You're from the Lan Family?"

A touch of pride appeared on their faces as they said, "Yeah, the Lan Family of Jindu."

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Then I'm not mistaken."

"What's not mistaken? Hey man, who are you?" the young man asked defiantly.

Li Xiaoyao said, "I'm Lan Cai's man."

"What!"

Everyone was stunned.

Lan Cai's man?

Seconds later, they burst into loud laughter, their mockery and contempt unhidden in their laughter.

"Kid, I think you must be insane. With that bear look of yours, you dare to make such a boast, claiming to be Lan Cai's man?"

They didn't believe him. Who was Lan Cai? She was the pride of the Lan Family. They were only from a side branch of the Lan Family, but they had always heard about Lan Cai.

Lan Cai was someone who set her sights high, and even in a place with numerous talents like Jindu, there was no word of anyone who could catch her eye.

And now, this man, who seemed to have popped up out of nowhere, dressed in clothes that seemed to them shabby and outdated, was telling them that he was Lan Cai's man.

They thought this man must be either crazy or stupid.

"Bro, don't stoop to his level. Elder Brother Lan Tian is waiting for us in the room. We mustn't keep Elder Brother Lan Tian waiting," the pretty girl beside them said.

"Right, right, right. Lan Tian may just be the son of our younger aunt, but he is of the direct lineage. We definitely can't keep him waiting."

The elevator arrived at that moment, and the group filed out. Li Xiaoyao glanced at the floor number—it was the same as his—so he followed them out, too.

Seeing this odd man following them, they became a little angry and said, "Kid, stop following us, or don't blame me for not being polite."

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Tell me where the Lan Family is, and I'll leave."

The man raised an eyebrow and cursed, "Damn, are you fucking crazy? Can't you understand human speech?"

Li Xiaoyao's eyes went cold, and he was about to deal with him when his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

The call was from Jindu. Li Xiaoyao pressed the answer button: "Who's this?"

"Hello, is this Mr. Li Xiaoyao?" The voice on the other end belonged to a middle-aged man in his forties, very steady: "I'm Liu Chengxiang, a descendant of one of the lines of the Xuan Sect."

Li Xiaoyao was startled; he hadn't expected Jiang Lichun to act so quickly.

The Lan Family's side branch members saw Li Xiaoyao answering the phone and thought he was scared of them. They snorted and muttered, "Stinking kid, putting on airs in front of me. Today, there's important business, or I would definitely teach you a lesson."

After they said that, they turned and walked towards the rooms.

Li Xiaoyao watched their figures and spoke into the phone, "I'm on the eighth floor, come on up."
