Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "@Little Yan Lingji, poor little thing. Seeing you reminds this Cult Leader of my former self.
Back then, I cultivated under my adoptive father, and I was the same... Heh, the past is like smoke, the past is like smoke. Better left unsaid, better left unsaid. Little one, if you ever run into anything upsetting, you can come talk to this Cult Leader."
Little Yan Lingji: "Brother Moon-Worshipping is so nice, φ(>ω<*)"
Li Hao looked at the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's words with an odd expression.
Adoptive father!?
The TV version of the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader seemed even more interesting.
Well, aside from Little Dragon Maiden, who had professionally lurked for ten thousand years, he had more or less figured out the backgrounds of the other four.
The position of group leader is mine!
All-True All-Capable Great Immortal Li: "Hahaha, you guys are killing me. This Heavens Chat Group is way too interesting—it actually picked a bunch of unlucky bastards."
Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: ""
Unbeatable Mischief: ""
Little Yan Lingji: "I just thought this was fun. I don't understand what it means. Sob sob, Brother Li will definitely forgive me, right? (/ω\)"
Little Dragon Maiden continued lurking, silently observing.
Li Xunhuan's lips twitched slightly. He felt somewhat puzzled, but also rather curious.
The appearance of the Heavens Chat Group had truly shattered his established worldview and reshaped his values in life.
Even now, Li Xunhuan still felt as though he were in a dream.
But even in a dream, Li Xunhuan would never admit to being called an unlucky bastard.
Li Xunhuan: "What do you mean by that, Great Immortal?"
Omniscient Li: "@Li Xunhuan, being plotted against without even realizing it is truly both pathetic and laughable. For the so-called favor of saving your life, you handed over your childhood sweetheart fiancée and the Li Family's accumulated wealth of several centuries.
Most laughable of all, you studied the teachings of the sages for nothing, yet you do not even understand that a great favor is a great grudge. You treat your so-called sworn brother this way, yet you do not know that he has already developed murderous intent toward you and wishes to tear you into ten thousand pieces.
Tsk tsk, if your father knew in the underworld, he would probably be so angry he'd come back to life."
Everyone's mouths twitched. How vicious!
So angry he'd come back to life—this Great Immortal was impressive!
Omniscient Li: "Seven imperial graduates in one family, three Scholars across father and sons. For the Li Family to reach your generation, it truly deserves to die out without descendants."
Li Xunhuan: ""
Li Xunhuan was practically exploding with rage. When had he ever given his fiancée and the Li Family's estate to someone else?
And his father might not be in the best health, but he was still alive, all right!
A sworn brother!?
Li Xunhuan felt powerless to complain, but he was not someone who liked arguing with others.
Faced with Li Hao's words, Li Xunhuan could only sigh silently. "Has Great Immortal misunderstood something? When have I ever done something so absurd? Besides, I only have one elder brother alive. Where would I get a sworn brother?"
Li Hao raised a brow slightly. Great Scholar Li was still alive.
That meant Little Li the Scholar had likely only recently earned the title of Scholar. There had to be at least ten or twenty years before the plot of Little Li Flying Dagger began.
Li Hao pondered this and casually noted the information in a notebook for future investigation.
All-True All-Capable Great Immortal Li: "@Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, brats aren't scary. What's scary is a capable brat. This Great Immortal truly wants to slap your adoptive father to death.
He turned a perfectly good child into an obsessive maniac. You clearly had the ability to leave your name through the ages and become a sage remembered for eternity, yet you insisted on playing some game of destroying the world."
Unbeatable Mischief: "Destroying the world!!!"
Li Xunhuan also emerged from his troubled thoughts and was likewise stunned by Li Hao's words.
In their understanding, the most terrifying kind of person was merely someone who killed without restraint.
Destroying the world!
What the hell kind of power would that take!?
Li Xunhuan had already been rather unconvinced by Li Hao. Now, hearing him give such a harsh evaluation of the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, he could not help but retort, "The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's words and bearing all display the manner of a grandmaster. How could he possibly do such a—"
Before Li Xunhuan could finish, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader said, "Great Immortal's cultivation has indeed transcended the mortal realm. You can even foresee such things. If not for Nuwa Descendant Lin Qing'er sealing the Water Demon Beast at the cost of her own life, I might have already succeeded in purifying this filthy world."
Everyone was dumbfounded!
A Nuwa Descendant!?
The Water Demon Beast!
Purifying the world!
Holy shit, the Great Immortal had called it—was the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader really trying to destroy the world!?
Li Xunhuan: ""
Brother—no, Lord Moon-Worshipping, Great Immortal Moon-Worshipping, you... you actually did something like that!?
Invincible Urchin: "I, the Invincible Urchin, have always walked the line between good and evil. In the martial world, I'm considered quite the formidable figure—someone everyone wants to beat up. But compared to the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader... sigh, I can't afford to provoke him. I really can't."
Li Xunhuan felt utterly powerless to complain.
Was being beaten up by everyone also a standard for judging whether someone was formidable?
Little Yan Lingji: "Pitiful, weak, and afraid to speak."
Little Yan Lingji: "Waaah, but I still want to say it—Brother Moon-Worshipping must be a good person."
Everyone's faces twitched.
A good person!
A good person who destroyed the world!
Yan Lingji, just how deeply prejudiced were you against good people!?
Inside the Ancient Tomb, Little Dragon Maiden lay atop a rope, her heart pounding wildly.
Even someone as detached from worldly affairs as her understood what a terrifying disaster the destruction of a world would be, and what a terrifying power it required.
Being in the same group as such a freak, Little Dragon Maiden suddenly felt that her future was bleak.
For some reason, she thought of Yan Lingji's words and suddenly wanted to post in the group: "Pitiful, weak, and helpless!"
However, her long life of solitude and self-isolation barely allowed Little Dragon Maiden to suppress the unrest in her heart.
She would observe for a while longer!
Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "May I ask, Great Immortal, did I fulfill my dream of purifying the world in the future?"
A dream!
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Shivering in fear, afraid to speak."
Li Xunhuan: "Shivering in fear, afraid to speak."
Little Yan Lingji: "Shivering in fear, wanting to speak."
Watching the three goofballs, Li Hao nearly burst out laughing.
These guys learned fast. They had actually all evolved into parrots.
Mm, little Yan Lingji was still the most spirited. She knew how to break the chain.
Omniscient Li: "You died. You couldn't come to terms with it and were directly killed by the future Child of Destiny using cheat-like powers. Do you remember the young man who took Zhao Ling'er away? He came from your world's future. Nuwa used her divine power to send him into the past."
Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "!!!"
Invincible Urchin: "!!!"
Li Xunhuan: "!!!"
Little Yan Lingji: "Wow, I don't understand any of that at all, but it sounds amazing! Who is Nuwa? She can actually send someone into the past—she's incredible."
The corner of Little Dragon Maiden's lips twitched slightly. She was somewhat speechless toward Little Yan Lingji.
Shouldn't the main thing they were focusing on right now be that Li the Great Immortal could foresee the future?
Thinking of this, Little Dragon Maiden could not help recalling what Li Hao had said at the beginning.
A bunch of unlucky fools!
Could her own future also be this miserable?
Little Dragon Maiden thought of Li Hao's assessment of Li Xunhuan and his comments about the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, and her heart began to tremble uncontrollably.
