When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 802 - 318: Ming’Er’s Origins (Part 3)

Who knew Li Xiu wasn’t dead after all? The dream of taking over the technician group was shattered, and now the burden of socializing at banquets was falling on Li Xiu’s shoulders. Han Minghui got nothing and still had to cover Li Xiu’s expenses, making her scalp tingle with rage.

Li Xiu, however, didn’t care much about this and headed straight to the Gem Market with Zai Zai.

Xiao Shuang was hiding inside Li Xiu’s backpack, occasionally poking her little head out from the backpack’s opening to observe the outside world, filled with curiosity about everything.

Along the way, many people enthusiastically greeted Li Xiu. Li Xiu’s reputation was now so high in Longevity City that, apart from a few old elders and the old commander, he was far ahead among the younger generation—no one else could compare.

Part of this credit also went to Han Minghui, who was actively promoting, trying to make Li Xiu a hero.

After all, Li Xiu had no relatives, and no one could inherit his estate. So Han Minghui spared no effort in publicizing Li Xiu’s glorious deeds, never expecting Li Xiu wouldn’t die.

"Commander Li, feel free to pick anything you like, I’ll give you twenty percent off... no... thirty percent off..." Many shop owners warmly welcomed Li Xiu.

Li Xiu smilingly declined each offer. What he needed this time were Demon Cores, and he needed them to meet certain levels, qualities, and quantities—something ordinary shops couldn’t provide. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Li Xiu went all the way to Treasure Light Pavilion but didn’t see the old immortal; only two clerks came over to greet him.

"Is the old commander not here?" Li Xiu casually asked.

"The old commander is at the VIP room on the second floor entertaining guests. Commander Li, please rest in a private room first, and I’ll go notify the old commander," a beautiful clerk cautiously said.

"Tell the old commander I have a big business deal to discuss with him and ask him to come over soon." Li Xiu said as he followed the clerk up to the second floor.

"How big is the business?" From the VIP room on the second floor came a voice Li Xiu was familiar with.

"Guild Leader!" Li Xiu recognized the voice immediately, stopping in his tracks, stuck there unsure whether to go up or down the stairs.

"Weren’t you looking to talk about a big business deal? The old commander is here with me, come on over." The guild leader’s voice came from the VIP room again.

Having no choice, Li Xiu carried Zai Zai and walked up to the second floor.

He wasn’t afraid of offending the guild leader but was worried the guild leader might notice something wrong with Zai Zai.

But when he thought about it carefully, Wan Chaocun taking Zai Zai away was something the guild leader must have known about beforehand, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Li Xiu knocked on the closed door as he reached the entrance.

"The door isn’t closed, come in." The guild leader’s voice came again.

Li Xiu pushed the door open and entered, seeing the old immortal and Mo Wuya on either side, sitting next to the guild leader.

"I wish I hadn’t come here," Li Xiu sighed inwardly.

"The old commander is right here, just how big is this business deal? Tell the old commander about it." The guild leader looked at Li Xiu with a teasing smile.

"It’s not that big, I just wanted to buy some Demon Cores," Li Xiu said.

"Buying a few Demon Cores doesn’t count as a big business deal. Are you buying Divine Position Demon Cores? If you are, I have them; tell me how many you want and name your price." The guild leader said, looking at Li Xiu with a sly smile.

"Guild leader, that’s a joke. How could I have the funds to buy Divine Position Demon Cores?" Li Xiu seemed helpless. He really did want to buy Divine Position Demon Cores, but such items are practically priceless, and even if they were available, he didn’t have the financial capability to purchase them.

"Since you know you don’t have the money, then why not go earn some?" The guild leader turned the conversation, continuing.

Li Xiu thought, "You think I don’t want to make money? Only a fool doesn’t want to earn money, but I have no avenues. I just managed to connect with the Chu Family and made my first gold coin, but that money isn’t readily available whenever I want; I have to wait for them to sell the Demon Armor they create."

Of course, Li Xiu couldn’t say this to the guild leader, so he could only sigh, "I’m just a humble commander, lacking people and connections—where can I go to earn money?"

"Jing Li, Lao Qian, Jiuxiao Yun—the younger generation of talent in Longevity City—these few outstanding people have been lured by you fairly thoroughly. Lao Ba is your sworn fourth brother, Wan Chaocun your sworn eldest sister, the Chu Family’s boy is also your sworn brother, with the Magic Armor Research Institute in your hands privately selling technology from the institute. I see you’re not only well-staffed but also well-connected." The guild leader coldly stated.

"You be quiet," the guild leader didn’t give Li Xiu a chance to speak, staring at him with a grim expression and saying, "Let’s put those aside, you even dared to involve my daughter, do you think you’re the hero of Longevity City now and can do whatever you please?"

"Guild leader, it’s a misunderstanding. Miss Qingyi is pitying me, wanting to help, which is why she joined the technician group. I truly didn’t make her do dangerous things." Li Xiu quickly explained.

"I’m talking about Ming’Er," the guild leader said coldly.

Li Xiu was taken aback, quickly realizing the answer—Li Ming’Er was truly the guild leader’s daughter.

"Well... guild leader... I truly didn’t know Li Ming’Er was your daughter... rest assured... I’ve always treated Ming’Er as an honored guest, ensuring she hasn’t suffered any mistreatment under my watch..." Li Xiu quickly stated.

"Do you think you would still be alive if you had mistreated her?" The guild leader snorted coldly, "Let her continue staying at your seventh courtyard, she must not know about my affairs, and you must not let her feel any discomfort. If she experiences even a bit of discomfort, or learns about my affairs, I’ll cut off your five limbs and set your head alight in the Temple of Heaven."

"Rest assured, guild leader." Li Xiu felt slightly depressed; this was indeed a thankless task.

After saying these words, the guild leader’s expression suddenly changed like a dramatic face shift in a Sichuan opera, looking at Li Xiu with a smile, "You want to make money, right? Then let me point you in the right direction, guaranteeing you’ll earn big money."

Li Xiu didn’t believe the guild leader’s sweet words one bit; if there were such fortune, why would it come to him? There was surely something hidden within this.
