Chapter 355

"How did you know I was getting off the plane at this time?"

Li Yao found it a bit strange.

This girl, why is she everywhere?

"Giggle!" Qin Yue covered her mouth and laughed twice. "Because the live broadcast is over, and I know Young Master Li's temperament; you definitely wouldn't want to waste time with those officials, so you must have set off for Jiangzhou immediately."

"So I timed it well and came here to wait!"

"Alright, I'll give you credit for being smart."

"That's right!"

Led by Qin Yue, the two got into a sedan.

The driver was Uncle Wu.

Seeing Li Yao again at this moment, he was a bit reserved: "Young... Young Master Li!"

"Uncle Wu, Qin Yue and I are friends; just treat me the same as before."

Li Yao smiled.

This is also the reason why he is willing to be friends with Qin Yue.

No matter what status or achievements he attains, Qin Yue can always maintain the same attitude as when they first met.

On the way, Li Yao chatted with Qin Yue for a while.

He learned that Qin Yue's Wu Kao score was quite good, over 1,700 points, ranking in the top three for all of Jiangzhou.

With such a score, getting into the Jingyu Martial Arts Academy should be a sure thing.

"Speaking of which, are you going to Jingyu just to get me to carry you through dungeons?"

"Hehe!"

Asked by Li Yao, Qin Yue's eyes narrowed into crescents, and she said with a smile: "As expected of Young Master Li, you guessed it right away!"

Before Li Yao could speak, Qin Yue waved her hand and said casually: "Oh, I'm just joking."

"Before I came, my dad specifically told me that I can go to Jingyu, but I'm not allowed to have you carry me through dungeons."

"He said he was afraid of dragging down your leveling speed and didn't want to add to your troubles!"

"Besides, going through dungeons and such, aside from leveling up and farming gear, is more about honing one's skills. If I go through dungeons with you, everything gets one-shot; what kind of honing is that!"

Hearing this, Li Yao found it somewhat amusing: "That's not what you said before."

"Oh!"

"That was before the Wu Kao; looking for a thigh to hug isn't shameful!"

"Alright," Li Yao waved his hand, "Your father is right. During university, honing your skills is the most important thing. Under normal circumstances, I won't carry you."

"If a certain dungeon has a player limit, bringing you along won't be a big problem."

"Ah!?" Qin Yue lifted her head suddenly, her eyes full of surprise. "Young Master Li, a gentleman's word is his bond; you can't go back on it!"

Li Yao couldn't be bothered with her, turned around, and began to close his eyes to rest.

Soon,

Uncle Wu dropped Li Yao off at the villa entrance.

After agreeing to meet again at the Jingyu Martial Arts Academy, Qin Yue left.

The Wu Kao had just ended, so even for Qin Yue, there were many things to attend to.

Back home,

Guo Ning had already prepared a table full of dishes, waiting for Li Yao.

"You're not hurt, are you? Come over and eat while it's hot."

Li Yao sat down at his spot.

Guo Ning and Li Yang were both practitioners, so they didn't fuss over him like ordinary parents, asking this and that.

Nor did they say things like "don't do such dangerous things in the future."

They both knew that Li Yao had reached this point entirely on his own.

As fellow practitioners, since they weren't as talented as their own son, why bother with such preaching?

Whatever Xiao Yao does, he must have a plan in mind.

At the dinner table,

Li Yao roughly recounted what had happened during the contest battle.

"Just that simple?"

Guo Ning was stunned.

Those who could participate in the contest battle were all the top-tier candidates from across the country.

How come, when told by her own son, it sounded as if he could eliminate them with a wave of his hand?

Throughout the entire contest battle, the only one who could be called an opponent was that final monster?

No!

Looking at this kid now, he didn't look like someone who had just been through a major battle.

"Xiao Yao, tell me the truth, before you faced that final monster, how much confidence did you have?"

Guo Ning asked seriously, and Li Yang beside her was also looking at Li Yao with curiosity.

"Confidence?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment.

"Ninety percent. At the time, I didn't know it had turned into a dungeon; the other ten percent was me worrying it might run away."

Guo Ning: "..."

It evolved into a dungeon.

Candidates couldn't escape, and correspondingly, the monster couldn't escape either.

Li Yao really didn't know at the time.

Guo Ning and Li Yang exchanged a glance.

"Fine! Worried for nothing!"

After finishing the meal, Li Yao brought up business.

"For the next period, Dad, Mom, you might need to be a bit busy."

"Why?"

"That monster is highly likely related to the Yan and Yang families, so, in a short while, we might not be seeing those two families anymore."

Shenwei's full name is the One-Horned Behemoth, and the monster the Yan family summoned to deal with him was named the One-Eyed Behemoth.

It was hard for Li Yao not to connect them.

Although he didn't know what role the Yan and Yang families played in this event, they were definitely involved!

Causing so many top geniuses to be on the brink of death,

even if the Yan and Yang families had massive connections, they absolutely wouldn't be able to save themselves!

Li Yao continued: "The Yan family is still a bit far from our Silver Wolf, but I think we can join forces with the Shang family to swallow the Yang family's resources clean!"

Hearing this, both of their expressions became grave.

Just as they were about to ask for specific details,

Li Yao, this hands-off manager, started slacking off again.

"In short, you two can go discuss how to join forces with the Shang family. I'm going to the Jingyu Martial Arts Academy tomorrow, so I might not be able to help."

After saying this, Li Yao slipped into his room in a flash.

"Hey!?"

"This brat, always finding work for us to do!"
