Chapter 2174 The Complicated Situation

There is another one above!

These words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Lu Yue's heart directly. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and fell silent instantly.

Lu Yue naturally knew what Ye Ye meant. The "person above" he mentioned was undoubtedly the most powerful person in China - Li Tiandao.

However, if Ye Ye hadn't mentioned it suddenly, Lu Yue probably wouldn't have associated this name with himself. After all, at his current level of cultivation, the gap between him and Li Tiandao was too huge, like the difference between heaven and earth.

In certain realms, when one reaches a height like Li Tiandao, his presence will gradually weaken, and this is especially true for "ordinary people" like Lu Yue.

In comparison, Cui Yingying, Li Lingzhi and others are either powerful themselves or have a blood relationship with Li Tiandao, so the impact on them is naturally not that great, and it can even be said to be negligible.

The more Lu Yue thought about it, the more incredible it became. He really couldn't figure out how this Brother Ye was related to Mr. Li? Even Mr. Li...

When he thought of this, an indescribable fear surged in Lu Yue's heart, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Indeed, he is probably the only person in China who can make Cui Yingying, Li Lingzhi and Tian Qi choose to remain silent.

While the two were talking, a fierce quarrel was taking place in a farmland in the far suburbs of Yancheng.

"Grandpa Li! You're really going too far! It's clearly your Li family who's bullying others, so why don't you allow us to intervene in this matter? What's more, you already knew about Ye Ye's existence when you were on Blue Star! He played a huge role in our successful departure from Blue Star and even in our advantage over the demon race in the battle!"

Cui Yingying frowned tightly, and spoke in an extremely stern tone without any politeness to Li Tiandao, who was lying leisurely on the rattan chair with his eyes slightly closed.

Standing beside Cui Yingying were Li Lingzhi and Tian Qi. Compared to Tian Qi's equally indignant and confused expression, Li Lingzhi's expression seemed much more relaxed, clearly understanding the situation.

"You little girl, you are so old, but you are still so impatient."

Li Tiandao responded slowly, with a hint of reproach in his tone.

Li Tiandao opened his eyes slightly, looked at Cui Yingying with a helpless smile, and spoke.

"Let's not talk about the fact that it's just a side branch of the Li family, not the main branch of our Li family. I've been away from the Li family for a long time, and I don't care about those family affairs."

"And I will certainly not forget Ye Ye's so-called contributions that you mentioned, but the current situation is special."

For years, Li Tiandao had been quietly watching Cui Yingying's growth. He had watched her grow from an innocent child to adulthood, and he understood her as if she were his own granddaughter. It was precisely because of this that Cui Yingying had the audacity to talk back to Li Tiandao, and he hadn't been offended.

At this moment, Tian Qi interrupted and asked.

"Special circumstances? What do you mean?"

His tone betrayed a hint of doubt and worry. Although Li Tiandao's tone seemed relaxed, Tian Qi didn't take this as a trivial matter. After all, he, Cui Yingying, and even Li Lingzhi hadn't come here voluntarily. In fact, they had been forcibly "captured" by Li Tiandao in the early morning.

Just when Tian Qi was feeling doubtful, Li Lingzhi suddenly spoke.

"Let me tell you. I brought you here mainly because I'm worried that you might act impulsively. If you suddenly show up to help Ye Ye solve the problem, it might disrupt our original plan."

Obviously, the next explanation work will be undertaken by Li Lingzhi.

Hearing Li Lingzhi say this, Cui Yingying and Tian Qi looked at Li Lingzhi at the same time.

"First of all, you can rest assured that even if we choose to stand by and watch, Ye Ye will definitely be fine. You know, his connections in Qimingxing are far more than just ours."

When Li Lingzhi mentioned this, her expression looked a little strange, even helpless and speechless. Obviously, she had begun to imagine the series of chain reactions and troubles that might be triggered when Ye Ye's true identity was exposed.

As soon as Li Lingzhi finished speaking, Cui Yingying frowned slightly and asked with a suspicious look on her face.

"Li Qifeng is the representative of the Li family's side branch. Even though it's just a side branch, the mere mention of the two words 'Li family' is far beyond Ye Ye's ability to handle, not to mention the involvement of the Ning family."

she continued.

"The students in the genius class come from all different backgrounds, and almost everyone has an incredibly powerful background. It's no exaggeration to say that if the genius class holds a parents' meeting, I'm afraid a political committee meeting will be held immediately after the meeting. In this situation, are you really sure that Ye Ye can handle it with ease?"

"Don't interrupt me yet."

Seeing that Cui Yingying was a little restless, Li Lingzhi spoke again.

"That's the main reason why Grandpa brought us together."

"According to intelligence reports over the years, due to China's overly bloated bureaucracy, some departments have limited resources. This has led to some officials being bribed by the United States and even foreign countries, and they have long been engaged in the sale of our intelligence. However, because this intelligence does not touch on core issues, coupled with the bloated system I mentioned earlier, we have been unable to effectively curb this behavior."

"As the Director of the Demon Suppression Division, Cui Yingying, you should have heard something about this."

Hearing Li Lingzhi's words, Cui Yingying was stunned, then nodded.

"Well, it's not just some local officials, but even some provincial governors and senior decision-makers on some affiliated planets..."

"That's our goal. I'm afraid this freshman assessment won't be smooth sailing. Some enemies have already set their sights on us. But simply repelling the enemies is only a temporary solution. Grandpa's intention is to give Morning Star a good shake this time."

Li Lingzhi's words made Cui Yingying and Tian Qi stunned. Have a good time?

"We are responsible for resisting the enemy's most advanced combat power. If the enemy doesn't show up, we won't show up either. As for other troubles within China, or even on Morning Star, we will leave them to others."

Li Lingzhi continued to speak, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in Li Tiandao's eyes.

The Ning family can’t help it anymore, right?
