"Li Xuan, what is your attitude!"
Jiang Xiuying immediately stood up from the dining table, slapped it, and yelled at Li Xuan.
Li Mingqi and Li Wan'er at the dining table also looked at Li Xuan in surprise, clearly shocked by his words. After all, in the past five years, Li Xuan had never acted like this. He had never even talked back when Jiang Xiuying scolded him.
"Mother-in-law, am I wrong? Since we are eating, we should just eat. Besides, I have never met him before, and this is the first time I'm seeing him today. We are really not familiar with each other," Li Xuan said with a smile, putting down his chopsticks and looking at Jiang Xiuying.
Then Li Xuan stood up and glanced at Li Wan'er, "I'm full, everyone else enjoy your meal."
"This... what's wrong with this good-for-nothing today?" Jiang Xiuying was stunned as Li Xuan turned and left. She exchanged a look with Li Mingqi and said.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Li Xuan is my husband, you can't say that about him. I'm also full, you guys eat slowly," Li Wan'er said, standing up and turning to walk towards the room.
"Wan'er, Mom didn't... Wan'er..." Jiang Xiuying called out as she saw this, but Li Wan'er did not stop. As Li Wan'er closed the door, Jiang Xiuying and Li Mingqi exchanged glances, both not knowing what to do.
"Uncle and Aunt, please don't be angry. Perhaps I was indeed too rash," Zhuo Xian said immediately. He then filled his wine glass and said to Li Mingqi, "Uncle, I'll have a drink with you."
"Good, since they are full, let's not bother with them. Zhuo Xian, come, have a good drink with your uncle today," Li Mingqi said, also raising his wine glass.
In the room, Li Wan'er looked at Li Xuan, who was leaning against the windowsill and gazing outside. After a long while, she spoke slowly, "Do you know how bold your actions were today? That Zhuo Xian is the heir of the Zhuo family. If you displease him, you might bring trouble upon yourself."
"Li Wan'er, hasn't your mother always wanted us to divorce? In my opinion, this Zhuo Xian is the person your mother fancies, right? If you are interested, we can get a divorce. We'll go our separate ways from now on, how about it?" Li Xuan turned around and said to Li Wan'er with a smile.
Li Wan'er frowned slightly at this and said, "What exactly do you mean? You've already accepted the fifty thousand yuan."
"I can return the money to you," Li Xuan said calmly.
After regaining his memories, Li Xuan was no longer willing to stay in such a social circle. Even though this body was not Li Xuan's true self, his soul was real.
Moreover, Li Xuan did not want to disrespect Yao Fuyyao and the others. It would be excellent if he could end this life. And if he hadn't thought of how Li Wan'er had helped him back then, Li Xuan would have left as soon as he regained his memories.
Li Wan'er looked at Li Xuan for a long time, then slowly nodded, "It seems you've made up your mind. I can agree to it. However, I don't have any feelings for that Zhuo Xian. Let alone love, I don't even have a shred of liking for him."
"I chose you back then because you saved me once. So, there's no need to return the fifty thousand yuan to me. After all, you've worked hard and complained little at home for five years. However, it's not the time yet. I need three months to prepare."
"Three months' time... I can do that," Li Xuan pondered for a moment and then slowly nodded.
...
Baoxiu Garden is where the prominent and wealthy of Hangcheng reside. The Zhuo Residence is located on the mountainside of Baoxiu Garden.
"Young Master Zhuo, Century Fashion is indeed facing a public relations crisis. If they don't receive foreign investment, they might be acquired," a man in a suit respectfully reported to Zhuo Xian in the vast Zhuo Residence.
Zhuo Xian's lips curved slightly, "It seems heaven is helping me. Have you found out who is targeting Wan'er?"
"Reporting to Young Master Zhuo, it's Liu Bingrui of the Liu family," the man replied with a bow.
"Liu Bingrui of the Liu family, does this brat have his eyes on Wan'er too? Hmph, daring to have ideas about Wan'er means he doesn't put me, Zhuo Xian, in his eyes. Now that I, Zhuo Xian, am back, it's time to correct who is in charge in Hangcheng."
"Fan Er, make an appointment with this Liu Bingrui. One hour later, at Yetian Club."
A sinister look flashed across Zhuo Xian's face, and he slowly spoke.
In Zhuo Xian's heart, Li Wan'er was already his possession. If it weren't for his studies abroad, Li Wan'er would never have married Li Xuan. Especially when he thought of Li Xuan's words today, Zhuo Xian crushed the wine glass in his hand.
"Yes!" Fan Er trembled upon hearing this and quickly replied. As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly turned and left.
Late at night.
After Li Wan'er fell into a deep sleep, Li Xuan, who was lying on the floor mattress, slowly sat up. After glancing at Li Wan'er, Li Xuan walked out slowly.
"The spiritual energy of this Earth is truly barren. It seems it will take a longer time to cultivate." On the rooftop, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes after meditating for a full hour.
Regarding this world, Li Xuan had thirty years of experience as an ordinary person. To survive, he needed at least one skill.
After regaining his memories, Li Xuan clearly understood the frailty of his current body. Relying on the Undying and Unkillable Scripture to strengthen his body would be as difficult as a child uprooting a tree. Moreover, the necessary medicinal ingredients were not easy to find.
Helplessly, Li Xuan had to choose to cultivate. But the barren, even meager and low-level spiritual energy, could not satisfy Li Xuan's needs.
"Logically, it shouldn't be like this. Has this Earth also experienced a change? Otherwise, with the structure of this world, why would the spiritual energy be completely depleted? Hmm, history textbooks do mention some ancient eras. Perhaps the source lies there."
Li Xuan shook his head, then stood up and looked into the distance. Although the barren spiritual energy could not help Li Xuan cultivate, at least Li Xuan's soul was powerful. Looking around, Li Xuan was pleasantly surprised to find a not weak spiritual energy in the sky several miles away.
"If I could absorb it, it would be enough for me to enter the Mortal Embryo Realm. At least, I would have some self-preservation ability." Li Xuan acted immediately. He took the elevator out of the building. After hailing a taxi, he drove towards the place where Li Xuan had discovered the spiritual energy.
"Hello, that will be 18 yuan." Upon arriving at their destination, the driver turned with a smile and said to Li Xuan. His expression seemed to carry a hint of envy.
"Beep."
After a beep, the payment was successful. After getting out of the car, Li Xuan understood why the driver had that expression.
Li Xuan had gotten into the taxi in Jinxiu, a high-end residential area, and his destination was Baoxiu Garden. Clearly, the driver inferred Li Xuan's superior status from this.
"I was mistaken for someone superior for once." Li Xuan smiled with resignation, then stepped forward and began walking towards the mountaintop.
Screech!
At this moment, a sharp braking sound was heard, and Li Xuan stopped in his tracks. Looking through the night, a Porsche worth eight million yuan stopped in front of the gatehouse.
"So it's Young Master Zhuo returning. Please come in, please come in." The guard's face lit up with a fawning smile upon seeing the car. Then, with a press of the remote control, the gate barrier was raised.
"Zhuo Xian? I didn't expect this guy to live here. But Baoxiu Garden is where the elite and wealthy of Hangcheng live, so it's normal for the Zhuo family to be here. Forget it, I'll absorb the spiritual energy first."
Li Xuan had excellent eyesight and saw the slightly drunk Zhuo Xian sitting in the back of the car through the car window. After a moment of thought, Li Xuan turned and bypassed the gatehouse, quickly heading towards the mountaintop.
