Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 284: A Smart Woman Who Does Not Presume to be Clever

Just as the punches and kicks were about to make contact with Li Xiaoyao’s body, a tremendously powerful energy suddenly erupted from within him.

This energy, like a volcanic eruption, came without any warning, bursting forth abruptly.

By the time everyone reacted, a massive force had already brutally struck them, sending their bodies flying several meters off the ground.

The courtyard fell silent, with only the sound of people groaning in pain as they clutched their chests.

Liu Chengxiang was somewhat surprised. Even with his keen eyesight, he had not seen how Li Xiaoyao made his move.

He hadn’t even seen the trajectory of Li Xiaoyao’s attack.

"Quite interesting," a smile appeared on Liu Chengxiang’s face.

"The juniors are unruly, I hope Mr. Li won’t take it to heart," Liu Chengxiang chuckled.

Li Xiaoyao gave him a glance and said, "If it weren’t for old man Jiang asking me, do you think I’d want to be this damned honorary elder? Don’t use these tricks to test my limits; I’m not a patient person."

After speaking, Li Xiaoyao turned around and left the courtyard.

Li Xiaoyao had originally agreed to meet the Xuan Sect disciples for the sake of Jiang Lichun, but he had not expected these disciples to be so unwelcoming. Now that it was clear, Li Xiaoyao had no intention of warmly approaching those who were cold to him.

Liu Chengxiang frowned but did not try to keep Li Xiaoyao.

If this matter were to be reasoned out, what Liu Chengxiang did was somewhat disgraceful, but what did it matter?

How could he, as one of Xuan Sect’s five lineage heirs, not test a newly appointed honorary elder who appeared out of nowhere?

The disciples picked themselves up off the ground, rubbing their still aching chests, the shock still evident on their faces.

"Uncle Master Li is so strong!"

"I didn’t even see him make a move, and we were all defeated?"

"No wonder he became an honorary elder of Xuan Sect at such a young age, Uncle Master Li is so badass!"

These disciples, whose skepticism came quickly, also left just as fast.

Once Li Xiaoyao displayed a strength so formidable that they could only look on, their skepticism turned into admiration.

Liu Chengxiang lightly swept his sleeve and walked into the main hall.

In the courtyard, the disciples chattered excitedly, discussing Uncle Master Li. As for being beaten up by Uncle Master Li, it was hardly worth mentioning.

Li Xiaoyao took a taxi back to the hotel. As soon as he entered his room, Jiang Lichun’s phone call came through.

"Kid, what’s the deal? What’s with the fuss between you and that bastard?" Jiang Lichun already knew there had been a conflict between Li Xiaoyao and Liu Chengxiang, but he wasn’t quite clear on the details.

"Bastard? Is that how you refer to your junior brother?" Li Xiaoyao was initially furious, but upon hearing old man Jiang’s reference to Liu Chengxiang, his anger somewhat dissipated.

Jiang Lichun had a moment of frustration: "He is my senior brother."

"Senior brother?" Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, as he had always thought that the sect leader was the oldest person in the generation, but how could it not be Jiang Lichun?

Jiang Lichun asked, "What’s going on between you two?"

"Hmph, your senior brother has quite the temper, doesn’t he? He tried to intimidate me the moment we met, indulging his disciples in disrespecting their elders. Truly befitting of a Xuan Sect heir," Li Xiaoyao said with a mix of sarcasm and derision.

Jiang Lichun’s brow immediately furrowed, "That happened? But indeed, it’s his style."

"That old guy has always been like that, disliking everyone at first sight. Don’t stoop to his level," Jiang advised.

Li Xiaoyao said, "If I stooped to his level, I would have demolished the quadrangle by now."

"Enough, I have other things to deal with, don’t call me again." Hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoyao leaned back on the couch and lit a cigarette, leisurely smoking.

The incident at the quadrangle didn’t weigh on Li Xiaoyao’s mind.

Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level was already very strong; what he needed to cultivate now was his state of mind.

When one can face the collapse of Mount Tai without changing one’s expression, one has achieved a minor success.

He had rested for only a few seconds before another call came in.

"Xiao Ya?" Li Xiaoyao was stunned when he saw the name on the caller ID.

He hadn’t been in contact with Xiao Ya since the shop’s grand opening.

"What’s up?" Li Xiaoyao asked straightforwardly.

Xiao Ya’s distinctively gentle voice came through, "Mr. Li, I’ve recently acquired a batch of medicinal herbs. When are you free? I’ll deliver them to you."

Li Xiaoyao replied, "I’m currently in Jindu. I’ll be back after a while. Just send the herbs to the shop."

"Jindu?" Xiao Ya inquired, "Is Mr. Li in Jindu for tourism?"

"Taking care of some personal matters." After a pause, Li Xiaoyao asked, "Do you know where the Lan Family is located?"

"The Lan Family? Which Lan Family?" Xiao Ya was puzzled by the question.

"Pan-Lan International’s Lan Family."

Xiao Ya suddenly understood, although she still had a hint of confusion. Still, she offered, "I’m not entirely sure about the exact address, but if Mr. Li doesn’t mind, I’ll have someone contact you later. Once we’ve prepared the information, we can deliver it to you. How does that sound?"

"Okay, I’m staying in the Hilton’s suite 888. Just ring the doorbell when you arrive." Li Xiaoyao didn’t reject Xiao Ya’s kind offer.

In fact, Xiao Ya was the only woman in such relationships that Li Xiaoyao didn’t mind.

Xiao Ya was very smart but not overly so, and she never acted pretentiously wise.

In this regard, she was better than Cheng Yiyi.

Thinking of Cheng Yiyi, Li Xiaoyao suddenly realized that he hadn’t seen this woman for quite some time.

According to Cheng Dongliang, she seemed to have joined the army, but he didn’t know which unit specifically.

Men are born with a strong desire to control, commonly referred to as male chauvinism.

Cheng Yiyi physically belonged to Li Xiaoyao, a fact that required no official acknowledgement.

Whether Cheng Yiyi liked Li Xiaoyao or not, she couldn’t escape his control over her.

Li Xiaoyao would not allow any other man to touch her, regardless of whether he liked her or not, solely because she had been intimate with him.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ya immediately began arranging the matter.

The Xiao Family’s headquarters were in Jindu, and with years of accumulated connections, even if the Xiao Family was temporarily in decline, they were not comparable to a third-rate family.

Once she had finished organizing everything, Xiao Ya sat under the grapevine with her fair hands gently propping up her chin, looking thoughtful.

"What is the relationship between Li Xiaoyao and the Lan Family?"

"Li Xiaoyao once worked at Pan-Lan International, could it be... Lan Cai?"

Xiao Ya’s intelligence was demonstrated by piecing together a complete picture from segments of information that, while seemingly irrational, could astonish with their logical coherence.

Such information was often more than ninety percent accurate.

Half an hour later, after making her eleventh phone call, Xiao Ya finally understood the whole situation and roughly guessed the purpose of Li Xiaoyao’s trip to Jindu.

Xiao Ya stroked her brow, deep in thought. Could she do something about this situation to secure some advantage?

Li Xiaoyao’s strength was apparent. The likelihood of offering timely help was slim, but adding flowers to the brocade was a possibility.

Picking up the phone, Xiao Ya said, "Book the earliest flight to Jindu for me."

For such matters, it was safer to take matters into one’s own hands.
