Chapter 223 Sending Erii Back to the Eight Families of Sheqi
Erii's "running away from home" has broken her previous record for the longest time she has ever run away from home, and it is probably longer than all her previous runs away from home combined!
Li Muyang could feel that there were more eyes watching him and his group!
If we don't send them back soon, who knows what else the Snake-Headed Eight Families might do?
Erii had a lot of fun, but she went a little too far this time. It's time to go home!
So, Li Muyang, along with Erii, Bai Yuxiu, and Feng Ling'er, set off for the Sheqi Eight Families in a supercar that was nominally newly purchased but had actually undergone unauthorized modifications.
Before even reaching the entrance, one could see several people standing at the entrance of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. The one leading them was naturally Genjiro, the head of the Genji family and the young master of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, who was also the director of the executive bureau of the Japanese branch of Kassel College.
Well, this title hasn't been around for very long.
The kind-looking old man with white hair and a youthful face beside him had the appearance of both an eighty-year-old and a twenty-year-old, but he was indeed old. His eyes were full of the marks of time, and his still handsome face was like a mural that was slowly peeling away.
Tachibana Masamune, or Herzog, or even the King, is the enigmatic leader of the Oni Clan.
After getting out of the car, Li Muyang went straight to Tachibana Masamune: "Head of the Tachibana family! It's really not easy for me to see you!"
As Li Muyang got out of the car, Tachibana Masamune frowned and silently pulled everyone in front of him. When he saw Li Muyang heading straight for him, he involuntarily took a step back, already prepared to run away at any moment.
Upon hearing Li Muyang's remark, Tachibana Masamune seemed to feel guilty, startled and almost running away. Only after realizing that Li Muyang meant no harm did he breathe a sigh of relief and greet him with a slightly embarrassed smile: "I'm so sorry, I'm getting old and senile! In every aspect, I'm not as good as young people!"
"Oh dear, one should enjoy one's retirement in old age. Patriarch Ju, please don't become like Emperor Wu of Han or Emperor Xuanzong of Tang!"
"Haha... Mr. Li is really joking..."
Li Muyang and Tachibana Masamune clung to each other's arms, triggering their skill to swim arm in arm, just like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years. They greeted each other "enthusiastically" for several minutes until Genjiro stepped forward and interrupted their conversation.
After letting go, Tachibana Masamune subtly stretched his limbs, and the smile on his face almost faded away!
This young man has no sportsmanship, and he's really ruthless! His arm was almost broken! Is this guy really just a sorcerer?
Even a student from the Taoist Academy of the Dragon Kingdom shouldn't possess such strength, right? Although he's old and his strength and bloodline aren't high, he carries a considerable amount of technology and alchemical products. If Li Muyang really was using underhanded tactics, he would definitely have noticed. So, the current situation can only mean…
Li Muyang could easily break his bones with just his own body and a little force; he was just teasing him.
Damn it, even my own student, Genjiro's, physical body might not be as strong as this humanoid monster in front of me, right? Genjiro has royal-level bloodline, and although I secretly weakened him, he shouldn't be too weak. He might not even be able to do this! Who exactly is the hybrid dragon-man?
Before he knew it, Tachibana Masamune began to suspect that Li Muyang might be some unknown mixed-race person from China.
However, based on the information available so far, Li Muyang has not shown any abilities related to hybrids. First of all, he may not even understand dragon script, and there is no sign of words of power. Strictly speaking, he seems more like a dragon king who simultaneously wields authority and power.
However, Li Muyang did not possess the Dragon's Might, and its influence on him was negligible. Although it appeared that only he, Yuan Zhisheng, and two followers were present, in reality, the surrounding area was filled with spies from the Snake-Headed Eight Families. With so many mixed-bloods gathered together, the Dragon's Might could be generated without any effort on its part!
If it were truly a dragon king being provoked like this, he would surely have been unable to restrain himself and would have unleashed his dragon might long ago!
Genjiro, who was standing to the side, didn't think too much about it. Seeing that Erii had obediently returned to his side and that Li Muyang hadn't stopped her, he breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the three of them: "Thank you for taking care of Erii during this time. I hope she hasn't caused you any trouble?"
"Brother, is that how you see me?" Erii asked with a resentful look in her eyes.
Upon hearing Erii suddenly speak, the entire Snake-Headed Eight Family was nearly startled! This included Tachibana Masamune and Genjiro, whose expressions changed drastically. However, they quickly realized that nothing had actually changed, and they breathed a sigh of relief!
In this short period of time, the number of times they breathed a sigh of relief was almost off the charts.
Only Li Muyang noticed that although Erii's expression remained unchanged, she was somewhat uncomfortable inside. Would she really speak rashly in the crowd when she couldn't control her power? Perhaps, apart from a few people, the other members of the Snake Clan really regarded Erii as a human weapon?
Li Muyang sighed silently, and even considered killing Tachibana Masamune ahead of time.
I never expected this guy to be so cooperative this time! He actually showed up in his real form to meet Li Muyang! It made Old Li too embarrassed to make things difficult for him.
Alright, spare his life for now!
"I've brought Erii's body and bloodline balance under control. Don't worry, there won't be any more instances of bloodline going out of control," Li Muyang said calmly, waving his hand.
Upon hearing this, Genjiro was overjoyed! He excitedly grasped Li Muyang's hand, speechless for a moment! Tachibana Masamune's expression subtly changed, but he quickly composed himself, also revealing a happy (bitter) smile, and bought a cup! You're treating other people's illnesses when you have nothing better to do? Didn't we agree to treat them after seeing me?
I almost forgot, this guy is technically a doctor! Even if he's a veterinarian! But his medical skills are so superb? He's also quite compassionate! How did he cure Erii's long-standing illness in such a short time?
This isn't just a congenital genetic disorder; it's also the result of years of meticulous planning! He added his own ingredients to the bloodline potion Erii had been taking, keeping her in an unbalanced state for easier control, which is why Li Muyang cured her in just a few days?
Previously, he complained that Li Muyang had taken Erii too long to run away from home, but now Tachibana Masamune is complaining that Li Muyang didn't take long enough (is that what he's complaining about?). People are just so strange.
Most importantly, Tachibana Masamune subtly glanced at Li Muyang, worried that Li Muyang might have discovered something amiss during the treatment, and might even have already told Erii... Well, it seems he really did discover something.
Because just as he was secretly observing Li Muyang, Old Li gave him a subtle smile, which contained three parts mockery, three parts contempt, three parts disdain, and one part arrogance.
Erii, ever since she came back from this trip, hasn't even given me a second glance!
For a moment, Tachibana Masamune was sweating profusely!
If Li Muyang were to reveal the truth, Yuan Zhisheng would be the nominal head of the family, with his own confidants and influence. With a single order, even if Li Muyang had the means to control Yuan Zhisheng and Erii, he would likely face certain death!
Whether Erii's control methods will still be effective is another matter! Who knows if Li Muyang has discovered the problem! It's just a pontomeutomy; how could a doctor who can easily cure genetic diseases not discover such a simple problem?
After all, this monster, comparable to a dragon king, wouldn't be affected by him. If he acted recklessly, the monster might single-handedly suppress Genjiro and Erii! At that point, the remaining members of the Snake Clan might directly attack him! His pitiful bloodline definitely couldn't withstand it!
Fortunately, the situation that Tachibana Masamune feared did not occur, but this naturally raised another problem.
What exactly does Li Muyang want to do?!
He not only cured Erii's illness but also discovered his own little tricks, yet he didn't use it to cause trouble! Erii didn't even look at him directly, but she didn't say anything.
Wait! Tachibana Masamune suddenly realized something.
If Li Muyang didn't actually want anything, but rather simply didn't know who had harmed Erii, or perhaps he lacked evidence and was merely suspicious of himself, then he was sending Erii back to the Snake Clan while he secretly investigated.
The grudge between myself and Li Muyang stemmed from my meddling in the affairs of the Jiachang sisters when I had nothing better to do. Because Li Muyang silently fired the satellite orbital cannon and killed several old ghosts, I developed a prejudice against him and mistakenly thought that he was a young man who did not have martial ethics!
Therefore, Tachibana Masamune was a little too afraid of Li Muyang! He always felt that Li Muyang might suddenly attack him!
But is it possible that if I hadn't directly provoked him, he wouldn't have acted so swiftly and decisively before obtaining the evidence? Or perhaps... Li Muyang had other motives for contacting me or the Snake Clan?
For example, could Erii be allowed to vie for power and truly control the Snake Clan? Or perhaps... the White King?
Noticing Tachibana Masamune's ever-changing expression, Li Muyang snorted softly and remained silent. Let the old man be suspicious as he pleases; he certainly wouldn't easily "reveal" his "true purpose"! Otherwise, the other party might not believe him!
"Alright, now that Erii has been taken home, the three of us will take our leave. Goodbye!" Li Muyang waved his hand and prepared to slip away.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhisheng hurriedly tried to persuade them to stay: "Since you're already here, Mr. Li and the two ladies, why don't you come in and have a seat before you leave?"
Just as Li Muyang was about to wave his hand, Erii spoke up first, "Let's go in and sit down. I'm afraid no one else will know how to install the equipment you gave me."
equipment?
Everyone looked puzzled. What kind of equipment?
Li Muyang could only blink and say, "Alright then."
