(And maybe a few surprising plot twists... 😉)

.........

Emerging from the Villa, Li Wei paid no attention to the matters of the Villa Complex. In his memories, he had been protected by these uncles and aunts since childhood. No matter who saw him, they would always observe his progress and development.

In the villa complex, there were villas numbered 1 to 108. The higher the number, the greater the authority. Li Wei, thanks to his parentsʼ protection, was able to live in Villa Number One. Because of this, he had always been curious about his own identity and had tried to probe for information many times, but to no avail.

Anyway, everyone told him to just slack off and not work too hard.

Initially, he thought it was because of the Li familyʼs existence that these unfathomable people treated him with such respect. Later, he realized that wasnʼt the case.

The more cunning he acted, the stronger his talent became, and the better he treated the people in the villa complex, the more obedient they became.

And now, reaching the peak of the Golden Core stage should be enough to make some people in the villa complex take action!

”When Iʼm strong enough,” he thought, ”I should be able to find out.”

Li Wei raised his eyebrows. He didnʼt overthink it and flew directly towards a large building.

It was Boss Qiʼs company.

After handing over the items to Boss Qi and leaving his company, Boss Qi was clearly much more respectful. He shouted towards Li Weiʼs departing figure, ”Master Li, remember, I was the first one to join our terrorist organization! Iʼm one of the oldest members!”

After shouting this, the cultivators commuting to and from work on their flying swords near the building all widened their eyes in surprise. ”Terrorist organization?” they wondered. ”Has he discovered some big secret?” Some even used their wristbands to activate holographic images and report the incident to the authorities.

Boss Qi glared at them. ”What are you looking at?” he barked. ”And you, the one reporting this, what do you think youʼre doing? Take a good look at this!”

He reached into his pocket, and everyoneʼs lips twitched as they scattered like birds and beasts.

He pulled out his identification as the Chief of the California Supreme Police Department, which had expired two hundred years ago.

Not long after, Li Wei arrived at the teachersʼ quarters of a school, a row of cave dwellings, and found the one with the character ”Xiao” hanging on it.

”You little brat finally decided to leave your house!”

After pressing the doorbell, he saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He was a thin and wiry man with a serious expression, the kind who didnʼt seem to enjoy talking to people. This was Xiao Qingluo.

Li Wei soon entered the teacherʼs home and chatted with him for a bit. Their conversation revolved around everyday matters, including why Li Wei hadnʼt been attending school recently and the statewide competition.

The teacher had also lived for hundreds of years and had experienced the changes brought about by the resurgence of spiritual energy on Earth. He mostly used ancient devices, and Li Weiʼs use of old-fashioned equipment was largely influenced by him.

After taking a sip of the black tea brewed by his teacher, Li Wei said, ”Teacher, if I really need you to secretly bring out some of that alien species, it wonʼt cause any trouble, will it?”

”No trouble at all,” Xiao Qingluo replied, furrowing his brow. ”Just beat those researchers half to death so they wonʼt dare say anything. But you have to tell me what you need it for. I canʼt just let you release that thing onto the streets, can I?”

”I really canʼt say.”

Li Wei waved his hand dismissively. ”Donʼt you trust me?” he asked. ”You know I donʼt like causing trouble.”

Xiao Qingluo pondered for a moment, then turned on the old television. It was only showing one channel.

[Ancient Ruins Channel]

A female doctor wearing a white coat and glasses was excitedly presenting the findings from the ruins. ”This will be the greatest discovery,” she announced. ”There are many gaps in our understanding of historical civilizations. This vast archaeological site represents an entire era!”

Li Wei didnʼt pay much attention. Excavating ancient ruins beneath the Earth had been going on for who knows how many years. He had heard that the Earth used to be many times larger than it was now.

He was just curious. ”Teacher,” he asked, ”why are you watching this channel again? By the way, that female doctor looks a lot like you.”

”Thatʼs my younger sister!”

”Ah? Youʼre so unassuming in appearance, and you have a sister like that?”

”...”

Xiao Qingluo remained silent for a while, then said, ”Letʼs not talk about that. You want the alien species? Fine, Iʼll get it for you in a while. But you have to agree to one condition.”

”Tell me, Teacher.”

Li Wei grinned.

Xiao Qingluo said, ”You brat, stop slacking off and wasting your talent. Go to my sister. Sheʼll arrange a cushy job for you. With your aptitude, theyʼll treat you like a treasure and cultivate you. Youʼll have all the resources you need. They control a large number of ancient secret realms, which will be incredibly beneficial for you. Others canʼt even join if they want to.”

”Alright.”

Li Wei casually agreed, letting the words go in one ear and out the other. He wasnʼt lacking in resources right now. As for robbing graves? That was something Li Tianyi would do.

He chatted with Xiao Qingluo for a while longer.

Li Wei occasionally checked his phone to see how his family was doing. Fortunately, aside from Li Tianqi courting death again, there werenʼt any major issues.

Soon after, Li Wei headed back home. Before he knew it, the sky had grown dark.

He had just finished grocery shopping and returned to the entrance.

When he saw Grandma Ling still waiting there. Li Wei narrowed his eyes and turned away. Many days ago, Grandma Ling had probably already realized that the Li family was finished and intended to steal his top-grade magical treasure. Not only that, she was also testing him, probing to see if anyone would help him now that he had lost all support.

Fortunately, Li Wei had a backup plan. He had cultivated a good relationship with Gatekeeper Chen over the years, and Old Chen had promptly warned Grandma Ling.

The conflict lasted for a while.

But now...

The two of them exchanged a glance and smiled at each other under the setting sun.

”Little Li,” she said, ”what have you been up to all day? Tell your Grandma Ling if you have any problems. Iʼve always treated you like my own grandson.”

”...”

Li Wei visited Grandma Lingʼs cave dwelling and sat there for about an hour before emerging. Stroking the storage ring in his hand, he had a face full of smiles.

He soon returned home.

Yuexian opened her eyes and smiled at Li Wei. ”Welcome home, Master,” she said. ”What would you like to eat tonight?”

”Letʼs have goose stewed in an iron pot,” he replied. ”Make a big portion. Send a serving to everyone who came out of their caves today.”

Hearing this, Yuexian nodded obediently. ”What about Old Madam Ling next door?” she asked.

”Steam two extra steamed buns and send them to her cave.”

With that, he returned to his room. Looking at his descendants on the screen, he recalled his teacherʼs words and smiled. ”Finally, I can play my game in peace!” he thought.

”Iʼm not even going to school anymore. let alone go tomb raiding? What a joke!!”
