At seven o'clock in the evening, all the family heads and power leaders who had gathered left one after another.
From the time Li Xianyu entered the conference room to the time they left, no one knew what the big shots representing half of the official organization were discussing throughout the day. But when they left, everyone was in high spirits, as if they were eager to fight to the death with Tianjin Shrine right away.
Daisuke Aoki originally wanted to throw a big banquet to entertain the allies, but everyone was in a hurry to go back and arrange things, saying that the celebration banquet would be left behind the Daipoten Shrine. Daisuke Aoki thought it made sense and saw him off.
Li Xianyu was left behind, but Daisuke Aoki couldn't resist his hospitality and insisted on keeping him here to drink.
After Li Xianyu agreed, Daisuke Aoki asked his distant niece to lead Li Xianyu to his villa. Rie Aoki is a beautiful girl with good looks and temperament. She is tall and slim. She looks like a first-year college girl. She lacks the charm of mature women, but she has the youthful liveliness that they have lost.
She put on light makeup, so her facial features became more delicate and beautiful. Li Xianyu couldn't see any flaws, but saw quite a few flaws in her makeup skills.
Perhaps due to her natural beauty, this girl is not good at putting on makeup.
"If your nose is already very handsome, don't draw any nose shadows. This will make you look like you have a strange bridge of nose. Also, the nose shadows should not be too obvious and should be natural..."
"The eyeshadow is good, but the crimson eyeshadow suitable for mature women makes you more charming, but it also destroys your youthful and lively temperament..."
"The foundation is applied very well and makes the skin look porcelain white and delicate, like porcelain skin."
Fortunately, Li Xianyu doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, otherwise he would have caught her and criticized her and asked her to immediately change her incorrect makeup posture.
What's wrong with girls nowadays? The position of chef is occupied by men, and even makeup is lagging behind men. Sure enough, it is the prostitutes who create social value.
Li Xianyu is deeply proud of her talent in makeup. She studied under Bai Hufa, a great makeup prostitute, and studied hard for half a month. She has the spirit of being alone in the makeup industry. At least until now, no one has noticed that he is wearing makeup to disguise himself.
"Li Jun, this is your room." Aoki Rie opened the door and stood by the door, in the posture of Yamato Nadeshiko, with her hands crossed on her abdomen and a slight bow.
The girl's face was a little shy and rosy, and Li Peiyun was looking at her along the way, which made her shy and proud, and a little cranky. Does he have thoughts about me? Does he like my beauty? Oops, what should I do if he does something too much to me? After all, many Chinese men think that girls from island countries can give in to girls at any time... But I...
"Are you Yui Aoki's sister?" Li Xianyu asked.
"Cousin." Rie Aoki replied. Her Chinese was very poor and not as fluent as Yui Aoki and Daisuke Aoki.
Rie Aoki showed a sweet smile and carefully observed Li Peiyun's eyes. Well, he was indeed looking at my face.
This made her self-confidence almost explode. You must know that she is inferior to Yui Aoki in every aspect. Even though she is not angry and is serious with her in everything, she still feels a little inferior in her heart. Now, the aloof and aloof Li Peiyun has been staring at her beautiful face for a long time. No one will believe her if she tells her. Sure enough, he only fell in love with Yui Aoki because of her face, and he also fell in love with my beauty.
"Just learned Chinese?" Li Xianyu looked around the room and breathed a sigh of relief. The layout of the room was normal. It was based on the standards of high-end hotels. It was not the Japanese-style room where he slept on the floor as he thought.
"I've been studying for a while, but I can't speak well." Rie Aoki said.
"Where's English?" Li Xianyu asked again.
"English is okay." Rie Aoki said in a standard Oxford accent.
"Oh," Li Xianyu, an angry young man at home scolding the party for protecting the country, waved his hand: "You go first, I want to rest."
Rie Aoki didn't react for a moment. She originally thought something would happen with him here. It might not necessarily be that kind of thing, but it could be a flirtation and a tacit ambiguity could develop between them.
Following Yamato Nadeshiko's etiquette again, she crossed her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed slightly, "I won't disturb Mr. Li anymore."
Rie Aoki left disappointed.
On the other side, in a Japanese-style room with suppressed decoration, Daisuke Aoki and several family elders were sitting on their knees to discuss matters. Yui Aoki was serving beside him, pouring wine for the family head and elders.
This is Aoki Yui's privilege. When the elders and the head of the family are discussing matters, only Aoki Yui is qualified to serve. The male chauvinism of the island country has long surpassed that of its neighbors who have too many monks and too little to live in. However, ordinary girls in the family are not qualified to have access to some relatively confidential events. Therefore, Aoki Yui, who is highly valued by the family, has become the best candidate. She is qualified to have access to the family. Secrets from the top.
An elder drank wine and said with emotion: "There are outstanding people in the world, and there are endless rising stars. It's really a formidable one."
"Yes, I still have lingering fears when I recall that sword strike just now. If it were me, Kobayashi Jiro, I would probably collapse on the spot."
"After Qin Ze, China has another half-step master."
Aoki Yui's hand shook violently, and the wine spilled on the table. Daisuke Aoki glanced at her and said nothing. He could understand Yui Aoki's feelings. When Yui Aoki went to China to negotiate with Li Peiyun on behalf of the Aoki family, the two discussed it and they were barely evenly matched. Later, he was gradually left behind by Li Peiyun. But after all, she is still in the top S-class category. She looks sweet and gentle but is actually proud at heart. Yui Aoki can still comfort herself, but she is just slightly ahead on the road of cultivation.
However, now that Li Peiyun has reached the halfway point, Yui Aoki has been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time, unable to make any progress. The pain is like being stuck in a network operation until she has a mental breakdown.
"It may not be half-step of the Yakuza. He has not shown his true strength, and the Qi Sword has a bonus. Among the masters of the same realm, except for those who are also the successors of the Yakuza, who is Li Peiyun's opponent?" Daisuke Aoki This was meant for Yui Aoki.
But that's about it... He added silently in his mind.
Kobayashi Jiro is considered to be the strongest among the top S-class, but his liver and gallbladder were crushed by Li Peiyun's sword, and he was unable to fight back. In fact, many people speculated that this strength was already half-way to the extreme.
Aoki Yui calmed down, "Sword of Qi?"
Daisuke Aoki nodded slightly.
Aoki Yui frowned and thought.
"Yui, what do you think of Li Peiyun?" Daisuke Aoki asked casually.
"A dragon and a phoenix among men!" Aoki Yui's pertinent comment.
Daisuke Aoki nodded slightly.
She thought about it for a while, her eyes flickered, and she whispered: "Yiyi has something to do, please leave first."
The elders and the head of the family no longer kept her and nodded in agreement.
Li Xianyu was sitting cross-legged in the room practicing Qi. Before it was time to burn incense, there was a knock on the door of the room. He stood up and opened the door. He saw the Tengu standing outside the door and said, "The head of the Aoki family invites you to a banquet."
Li Xianyu glanced at him and thought to himself, raise your head, straighten your chest, and tighten your abdomen. You look like my bitch now.
At this point, he no longer cares whether Tengu escapes or not. In the eyes of everyone in Tengu Society, he is Li Peiyun, not Li Xianyu. Even if he escapes and joins Tengu Shrine, his identity will not be exposed.
Grandma and the others have not shown their true faces, nor have they revealed their true combat power. It would be difficult for people with a normal mind to draw them closer to the unparalleled fighting spirits.
But the Tengu remained calm and had no intention of escaping alone.
Li Xianyu pondered for a moment and understood. He was very relieved and helpless.
Li Xianyu admires heroes who are willing to be his lackeys, but does not encourage heroes who follow him with other purposes.
He doesn't like gibberish men.
The dinner was held in a luxuriously decorated elegant room, still in the retro Japanese style. The tatami was clean and tidy, and brightly blooming potted plants were placed in the four corners. There was a subtle fragrance floating in the air, including the aroma of wine, vegetables, and beauty.
Eight elders of the Aoki family attended, all of them powerful figures in the family. Together with Daisuke Aoki and Li Xianyu, there were only ten men at this dinner. But every elder is accompanied by a beauty. The nine beauties are all charming, thin and fat. They are women from the Aoki family, but they are not juniors. They are the wives of the nine elders.
Of course, it won't be the original match.
Li Xianyu's seat was empty and there was no girl accompanying him, which made him a little disappointed. Logically speaking, there should be a beautiful Yui Aoki in his seat.
After sitting down, chatting, drinking and eating, not long after, soothing and melodious music came from outside the door. The style was very classical and unique. It must be the ancient music of the island country.
Zhangzimen is separated from the left and right, and Aoki Yui Ren, wearing a muscle undergarment and a scarlet crotch, walks in. Li Xianyu doesn't know what a muscle undergarment is, but he is no stranger to her dress. This is one of the island country's characteristic costumes: a shrine maiden. Clothes.
There is no doubt that girls who belong to a long-established family are always versatile and proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and music. Yui Aoki dances gracefully in the melodious and elegant ancient music.
It wasn't the Dirty Dancing that Li Xianyu had seen, nor was it the "Pure Land" that he thought she could dance, but a very ancient dance that had a bit of a sacrificial flavor.
Li Xianyu has no accomplishments in music, and in terms of dance, he also prefers Korean dance, which involves wearing a small vest and shorts and twisting the buttocks. But I have to say that the music combined with Yui Aoki’s dance has an indescribable charm.
She is worthy of being a girl from a big family. If she were the Thunder Warrior Princess, she would probably have to stick her butt out and twist it, which is considered dancing.
When the song ended and the dance stopped, Yui Aoki's eyes slowly moved to Li Xianyu as the head twisted, and he stared at her affectionately for a moment before smiling sweetly: "Li Jun, how do you like this dance of mine?"
You are so slutty... Li Xianyu said in his heart, and commented with a neither salty nor bland tone: "Not bad."
Aoki Yui turned around gracefully, her skirt flying, and asked again: "Where are these clothes?"
Why are you wearing Pinru's clothes... Li Xianyu still commented with a neutral tone: "It's okay."
Aoki Yui retreated, and after a while, he changed into a normal kimono and came in. He stood beside Li Xianyu, pouring wine and tea for him, mixing ingredients, etc.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the dinner ends.
Daisuke Aoki invited Li Xianyu to soak in the hot spring again. Li Xianyu was quite moved, but still refused.
"Hakone's hot springs are world-famous. It's rare for Mr. Li to come to the island country. It would be a pity if he couldn't experience it." Daisuke Aoki insisted on the invitation.
As a fun-loving young man, bathing in hot springs was too tempting, but Li Xianyu's left arm was not visible to the public. The ghost heir's black, thick, and long left hand was already world-famous, and countless women changed their minds after hearing it. Being frightened at the sight of someone is the most representative symbol of him besides his grandmother.
"But I don't need to take off my clothes..." Li Xianyu asked. Hearing that he could take a bath alone with the door closed, he no longer hesitated.
Hakone is the base camp of the Aoki family. Many resort hotels are owned by the Aoki family. Countless tourists come to Hakone every year. The location alone can bring unimaginable profits.
Daisuke Aoki took Li Xianyu to a hot spring hotel that looked high-end and was not open to the public. Li Xianyu occupied a hot spring pool that could see Mount Fuji in the distance. The pool was built in a pavilion, and the cold wind came slowly. The steam is rising, and you are in the hot spring pool, enjoying the pleasure of both ice and fire.
Putting aside the various benefits of hot springs, simply taking a bath is also very comfortable. The pores all over the body are stretched and the limbs seem to be lazy. Li Xianyu leaned against the edge of the pool and closed his eyes to enjoy.
I just feel that my body and mind are relaxed at this moment, and all my worries are thrown away.
Li Xianyu's ears twitched and he heard the sound of light footsteps. The person who came must be a girl.
Opening his eyes, he looked around and saw Yui Aoki, wearing a bathrobe, walking towards her with a smile, holding sake and sashimi in her hands, walking like a lady.
Aoki Yui approached the edge of the pool and poked out a snow-white little foot from her long bathrobe. Just as she was about to dip into the hot spring pool, Li Xianyu frowned and said, "Why are you here?"
"The master of the house asked me to come and accompany you." Yui Aoki stepped into the hot spring pool, floated the wooden tray on the water, picked up the wooden hairpin on the tray, and wrapped the waterfall of green hair around the back of his head.
You are trying to hook up with me, do you know... Li Xianyu's mind is full of jokes and flirty words, but because of Li Peiyun's character, he can't say them, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
"I heard from the head of the family that Li Jun has already entered the half-step of the extreme path." Yui Aoki slowly approached and stopped five meters away from Li Xianyu, keeping a safe distance, and floated the wooden pallet between the two of them. Everyone can drink wine and eat sashimi.
"Yeah." Li Xianyu said in a nonchalant tone.
"..." Aoki Yui couldn't hide the shock in her eyes. Guessing and confirming it with her own ears were two different things. She didn't expect that he had actually stepped into the half-step of the Yakuza. In the generation born in the 90s, except for Baoze's big boss, Finally another young man stepped into this realm.
Those who have entered a half-step to the ultimate level before the age of 30 have a great chance of achieving the ultimate level in the future. There is far more potential than those who enter this realm in middle age or even old age.
Suddenly, the levels of both parties were completely different.
"I have been practicing swordsmanship for the past few days, but I still can't make any progress. I am stuck at the top S level with no hope of even half a step to the extreme. Please give me some advice from Li Jun." Aoki Yui lamented.
After learning that Li Peiyun had achieved the Half-Step Ji Dao, she couldn't wait to find such an opportunity to be alone and wanted to ask for advice. Although the Aoki family is one of the few blood clans, looking at the history of the entire family, there are only a few who are half-step to the extreme.
Being able to ask Banbu Jidao for advice in person is an extremely valuable opportunity.
"Haste makes waste." Li Xianyu said calmly.
"Of course I know this truth, but there is also a truth about hard work surpassing talent." Yui Aoki said: "I want to know where I went wrong."
This question has been wanted by scumbag students since ancient times. What is wrong with me and what is the difference between me and top students.
"How do you practice on a daily basis?" Li Xianyu asked.
"Practice your Qi and practice your sword." Yui Aoki replied.
Theoretically speaking, after the S-level is the half-step pole. The top S-level appears because there is a huge difference in strength among the S-level ranks. The top masters in the S-level can easily kill ordinary S-levels in an instant. Hence the term top S-class.
So the S-class is half a step away from the extreme, so it must be farther than the top S-class? No, there have never been examples in history where an ordinary S-class could directly step into the half-step pole.
Therefore, there is no problem with Aoki Yui's request for advice. She is not too ambitious. As a top S-class, she already has the capital to step into the half-step of the extreme.
Li Xianyu thought for a while and gave his own understanding: "I have too little actual combat experience. Mere exchanges are not actual combat, but licking blood from the edge of a knife is actual combat. At present, many descendants of the blood descendants do not possess this. Although you You have outstanding talent, but being born in an environment that is too comfortable and comfortable will limit your potential."
The family hopes that their talented children can go higher and further, but they are afraid that they will die young and try to protect their safety. Just like the parents of the second generation of wealthy officials, they hope that their children will become the best among people, but at the same time they feel sorry for them to endure hardship. The children of wealthy families in the blood world, and even the second generation of wealthy officials in society, cannot escape their stereotypes.
Li Xianyu glanced at Yui Aoki, whose face looked like she was paying attention to the lecture.
He remembered what his grandma had told him about the characteristics and supernatural powers of the Jida masters, and he learned and sold them now: "How much do you know about the Jida masters?"
There has been no Yakuza master in the island country for almost a century. Even if there were, Yui Aoki would not be taught by others with his status. She shook her head slightly, indicating that she knew nothing, and flashed her eyes, hoping that he could Answer for yourself.
This girl's charm ability has been integrated into her every frown and every gesture. Even if you don't deliberately use your powers, you can still confuse men. This is very similar to my passive power. Does it mean that after practicing the charm power to the extreme, I can make men fall in love with me just by standing expressionless? My male body actually limits the use of my charm powers.
Then Li Xianyu fantasized about what it would be like if he were a woman... Then he shuddered violently.
"The masters of the Yakuza are said to have continuous physical strength and can maintain high-intensity battles without being unable to follow up. If we look at the destructive power alone, in fact, the best in the half-step Yakuza can already rival the Yakuza, but they cannot last long. You can only compete with the Extreme Dao for a short period of time if you exert your strength in one go and fail again. This is something you will understand if you fully understand the battle in which the Holy See besieged and killed the Pope."
"But why is this happening?" Aoki Yui tilted her head, showing a rare sense of ignorance and coquettishness of a young girl. Before the Jida, the level division in the blood world was based on combat power. For example, if one punch can kill one monster, and one punch can kill ten monsters, the difference in combat power is clear at a glance.
But listening to what Li Peiyun said, it seems that half-stepping into the Yakuza can be as powerful as the Yakuza, and the gap between the two is determined by physical strength.
"Take a knife as an analogy. A magic weapon of good quality can withstand the energy infusion of the user, while a weapon of average quality, or even an ordinary weapon, will disintegrate after just one cut at most. This is the ultimate way and the half-step extreme way. The difference is that the peak of the half-step Ji Dao already has that kind of power, but they are like weapons of poor quality. They cannot withstand that power and will soon be exhausted. And the Ji Dao masters can use that level at will. the power of."
"Then why is this happening?" Aoki Yui asked the same question again, tilting her head like a repeater.
"Jing, Qi and Shen, the three combined into one, is the ultimate way." Li Xianyu omitted the steps to solve the problem and directly gave the answer.
"Ah?" Yui Aoki didn't understand.
"Essence, Qi and Shen make up a healthy and normal human being. They are placed in the same body and reach a certain balance. Then this person is normal. If there is an imbalance, various diseases will appear. In the end Severe cases may even lead to death. Essence and spirit are the foundation for human beings to stand in the world."
In this way, Yui Aoki understands. She listened silently and unknowingly got closer and closer to Li Xianyu. The safe distance has been exceeded.
"But in fact, our spirits are both connected and independent. They are not integrated with each other. For example, while our body is sleeping, our brain is very active and we dream. Or maybe we stay up late playing games all night, and our body is very tired. Although the body is dead, the spirit is very strong. These details are all because the essence, energy and spirit in the body are both integrated and independent. They are in a certain state of balance, maintaining the balance of normal life. "
"So, Ji Dao is the perfect fusion of spirit, energy and spirit?" Yui Aoki understood clearly.
"Yes, the Jida is essentially an evolution. They are different from normal humans." Li Xianyu nodded, "And the half-step of the Jida is to make the balance of the three closer to perfection, but not yet perfect. Top S The level has no understanding and understanding in this regard at all, but Half-step Ji Dao already knows how to take the next road and has a direction. Of course, the road is not easy to walk, and some people will not be able to integrate essence, energy and spirit in their lives. "
"I would also like to point out here that the power that a half-step master of the Yakuza can achieve is at most comparable to that of the Yakuza, but it does not include the peak of the Yakuza. I don't know how terrifying the peak of the Yakuza is."
He actually has some skills. He is a grandma in the extreme realm, with a physique at the peak of the extreme realm, and can punch the Buddha's head off with one punch. If she were allowed to return to the peak of the extreme realm, she would definitely be able to hang the Buddha on his head.
Aoki Yui didn't speak for a long time, chewing and digesting Li Xianyu's words. After Li Xianyu finished three glasses of sake, she asked, "Then how did Li Jun do this."
She was referring to the initial fusion of essence, energy and spirit.
"I can't describe it to you in detail, but I can explain it in Buddhist or Taoist terms. It's very simple, with two words: enlightenment!" Li Xianyu said.
The ultimate state cannot be achieved by hard work alone. If it were that simple, the world would have been full of extremes, and half a step would be like a dog. After all, there are too many hardworking people in the world.
After experiencing the pain of losing his father, Li Xianyu looked through the notebook left by his adoptive father and witnessed the past events in a different way, witnessing how the three sworn brothers met, became friends, became sworn friends, and finally turned against each other. It's as if the notebook has traveled through the most exciting years of my adoptive father's life, and through the tragic and tragic short life of my biological father.
In an instant, happiness reaches the soul, and one step into the ultimate path.
Flowers like Aoki Yui who live in a relatively comfortable environment cannot understand his feelings.
Epiphany... Aoki Yui recited silently twice, his eyes fell on Li Xianyu, and suddenly realized that he was too close to him. He quickly covered his chest, moved away from the pool wall, and pretended to be nonchalant: "Why is Li Jun still wearing clothes while soaking in the hot spring?"
Li Xianyu took off his coat and trousers, and his upper body was wrapped tightly in long sleeves and gloves.
He could find a hundred reasons to prevaricate, but those saucy words did not fit Li Peiyun's personality, so he simply ignored them, looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and gave Aoki Yui a cold and hard profile.
Aoki Yui silently took a few steps back and bowed slightly: "Thank you Li Jun for your guidance. I will take my leave first."
"I've been thinking about a question." Li Xianyu said suddenly.
Aoki Yui paused as she stepped into the hot spring pool. Her right foot was on the bank and her left foot was still in the pool. She turned her head and looked at him blankly.
"I used incredible makeup skills to disguise myself as Li Peiyun, and also specially adjusted my facial contours and muscles. I was confident that unless I was familiar with his family, I would never be able to tell. But you still saw through it." Li Xianyu sighed: " Now, Aoki Yui, you can’t really have an affair with him, right?”
Aoki Yui's delicate body was tense, and the muscles of her calf muscles collapsed into a sharp arc as she straddled the shore with her right leg. Her heart was beating wildly, and her face pretended to be innocent: "Li Jun, what are you talking about?"
She clenched her right hand quietly.
Li Xianyu raised his left hand, took off his glove, and revealed his dark palm, with a sinister smile on his face: "I'm thinking of letting you take off your clothes and die. Or kill you by touching your head directly, or slap him to death. Two ways to kill and silence. , how about you choose one?"
The test scores came out today. I failed. I am in a bad mood. As I get older, my quick thinking and memory are declining. There is really nothing I can do. I remember how relaxed and playful I was when I was taking the exam at Tsinghua University. That's all, let's not mention the bravery back then. Well, I failed the exam and was in a bad mood, which was the reason why I postponed the update, but at least I stayed up late and coded out yesterday's chapter. A 6,000-word chapter.
(End of chapter)
