Chapter 2637 You're still not convinced, are you?
"It's just a mere artifact; it won't be of much help to your cultivation. Don't let a small thing cause you to lose something big!" Li Si said to Li Wei with a gloomy expression.
The artifact is indeed of extraordinary value, but given the current situation, if Li Wei refuses to hand over the Evergreen Lamp, Qin Fei and Liang Xia will certainly not let it go.
Given the previous annihilation of the Liu family, if the situation were to escalate further, it would likely become very difficult to resolve.
So, having Li Wei return the items now is a reluctant decision.
The Li family is indeed very strong, but they have absolutely no need to break ties with the Divine Martial Sect over a single divine artifact.
It can only be said that Li Wei was too audacious this time. He thought the Li family would do anything for him, but he was wrong.
When faced with powerful external forces, the Li family would also advise him to give up.
"If you listen to me, take the things out yourself. Otherwise, if I get them myself later, you'll probably suffer!"
The owner of the spatial ring is definitely Li Wei. If Li Wei takes something out of it himself, there will naturally be no problem. However, if someone tries to take something out of it while Li Wei is still alive, then Li Wei's soul imprint will be erased.
Li Wei will suffer collateral damage in the future.
Therefore, Li Si's words were essentially a threat to Li Wei.
Despite being a super genius and enjoying similar treatment within the Li family as Li Yan, at this moment, Li Wei was like a young wife who had suffered a great injustice, his eyes welling up with tears of emotion.
"I don't want to repeat myself. Otherwise, you can handle this yourself, and I'll just wash my hands of it."
Li Si directly issued an ultimatum to Li Wei.
"Okay, I'll give it!"
He clenched his teeth so hard that he practically squeezed the words "Li Wei" out from between his teeth.
For him, this moment was tantamount to being stripped naked and standing in the street being whipped. The humiliation and shame he felt was unprecedented!
Finally, when the Evergreen Lamp was taken out, he seemed to have all his energy drained away, and he collapsed.
"take it!"
Holding the Evergreen Lamp, Li Si didn't even glance at it before tossing it to Qin Fei and Liang Xia with a wave of his hand.
Of course, he mainly handed the Evergreen Lamp to Qin Fei, which was imbued with a very powerful hidden force.
If Qin Fei were to reach out to catch it at that moment, he would definitely be impacted by that force, and internal injuries would be the bare minimum.
However, Liang Xia is standing next to him now. Who is Liang Xia?
He could easily see that Li Si was deliberately venting his anger, wanting to publicly humiliate Qin Fei.
So Qin Fei didn't even need to lift a finger; he simply reached out and grabbed the Evergreen Lamp in an instant.
The so-called powerful impact was utterly insignificant to him; he was completely unaffected.
"It seems there are still reasonable people in the Li family. Since the items have been returned to their rightful owner, we won't keep them any longer!"
After handing the evergreen lamp to Qin Fei, Liang Xia turned around and prepared to leave with Qin Fei.
He had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. He turned back to Li Si and said, "I just said that once the items are returned to us, this matter will be over. If your Li family wants to use this to make a fuss afterward, then it is wrong of you."
Liang Xia's words meant very well: if Li Wei or other members of the Li family wanted to retaliate against Qin Fei, then they would be the ones stirring up trouble.
“Alright, I’ve got this in mind,” Li Si nodded in reply.
"let's go."
Having obtained what they were entitled to, Liang Xia took Qin Fei directly back to the Divine Martial Sect.
Having just returned, Liang Xia turned to look at Qin Fei. He didn't say anything, but the oppressive atmosphere in the air clearly indicated that he seemed somewhat angry.
Didn't I tell you this before?
"Why won't you listen to me? I'll go see your master before we act." Liang Xia questioned directly.
"Is it wrong for me to take back what belongs to me?" Qin Fei retorted. "Paying back debts is a matter of course."
"fart!"
Liang Xia retorted sharply without any mercy: "For you, you may have done the right thing, but do you know that by doing this, you've made others resent you?"
“We could have retrieved this at a much lower cost, but you’ve made things even more complicated,” Liang Xia sighed. “You were too impulsive this time.”
"Isn't this because you're too slow?" Qin Fei muttered.
"You're still not convinced after I said a few words to you, aren't you?" Although Qin Fei spoke softly, he could still hear Liang Xia clearly, regardless of his cultivation level.
He looked at Qin Fei and said, "Actually, I was planning to go directly to the higher-ups of the Li family to retrieve the Evergreen Lamp after I met your master. What kind of person is Li Wei?"
“We don’t actually need to have any dealings with him at all. Do you think a top-down, dimensional-reducing attack is more effective, or is it more effective for you to ask for it yourself?”
"As long as the Li family's higher-ups agree to return the Evergreen Lamp, Li Wei could only blame his elders if he was angry. But now, he's holding a grudge against you. Is that really necessary?"
If Qin Fei didn't have his supporters backing him up, he could have easily demanded the Evergreen Lamp on his own merits. But now, Qin Fei is essentially using a dagger instead of a sledgehammer.
If I hadn't personally gone to support him this time, Qin Fei would not only have failed to get Chang Qingdeng back, but he might also have been humiliated by the Li family.
So there's a reason why Liang Xia is angry now.
Qin Fei wasn't stupid. When he heard Liang Xia say that, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected there to be so many twists and turns involved.
Indeed, if Liang Xiazhi's statement is true, they could retrieve the Evergreen Lamp directly without seeing Li Wei.
As an item with a strong directional connotation, this Evergreen Lamp originally belonged to the Divine Martial Sect. If Liang Xia went to ask for it in person, would the Li family really forcibly take what belongs to others and refuse to let go?
Just as Li Si said before, it's just a divine artifact. Would the Li family really break ties with the Divine Martial Sect for such a small thing?
That was obviously impossible.
Therefore, Qin Fei took a huge detour to retrieve the Evergreen Lamp, offending Li Wei and the Li family's Grand Elder in the process. It was a losing proposition.
Thinking of this, Qin Fei's expression became somewhat embarrassed. He rubbed his hands and said, "Uncle Liang, I was indeed too impulsive this time. I know I was wrong."
“Young people are spirited and fearless, which is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. However, since you admitted your mistake so quickly, let’s just let this matter go. Remember not to act rashly in the future, understand?” Liang Xia admonished earnestly.
"Understood." Qin Fei nodded.
"Alright, go and rest now." With a wave of his hand, Liang Xia also went to his secluded cultivation spot.
……
Li family residence.
After watching Qin Fei and the other man leave, Li Si released Li Wei from his grasp. His face was rather grim as he said, "You disgraceful wretch, go and reflect on your actions in the corner!"
"Elder, I refuse to accept this!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wei roared angrily.
"You're no match for them, yet you still have the nerve to argue and complain to me? If you're really not convinced, then show me the strength to beat them!"
"If I were you, I should feel ashamed and then strive to improve, instead of shouting at thin air. Do you think shouting like that will hurt anyone?"
"I just want to say that you might not be thinking straight, so you need to go and face the wall and reflect on your actions."
Although the Grand Elder was a staunch supporter of Li Wei, Li Wei's handling of the matter this time was truly embarrassing for him.
If Li Wei shows no remorse, he might even consider giving up his support for Li Wei.
The Li family is very strong externally, but internally they are not a monolithic group. Among them, the supporters of Li Yan are led by the Li family's patriarch, while the supporters of Li Wei are mainly Li Si and his group.
Of course, Li Si was definitely not Li Wei's most important supporter, because no matter how powerful he was, his cultivation level was only at the early stage of Dao Saint Realm, and there were even stronger people behind them.
Otherwise, how could Li Wei have lived such a comfortable life within the Li family all these years?
If even a magical artifact can blind Li Wei, how can he possibly stay true to himself if even greater benefits are to come?
Therefore, Li Wei needs to think about these issues on his own.
"If you've thought it through, come out on your own. If you haven't, then you can stay inside facing the wall!"
Before leaving, Li Si said something harsh to Li Wei.
Upon hearing this, Li Wei did not respond, but silently walked into the solitary confinement room alone.
Less than an hour after Li Wei entered the confinement room, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from inside. That bastard Li Wei had actually broken through his cultivation level and reached the early stage of the Divine Radiance Realm.
It should be noted that Li Yan's current realm is also at the early stage of the Divine Radiance Realm, which means that the two super geniuses of the Li family have now reached the same level.
"It seems this kid isn't entirely useless."
Sensing the fluctuations in energy emanating from the solitary confinement room, Li Si, who was also cultivating, couldn't help but smile slightly.
Some people are smart enough to know that shame is the mother of courage, while others lose their composure after being humiliated and end up making one mistake after another.
If Li Wei can be the one in front, it means he is still a promising talent.
“Young Master, Li Wei’s cultivation level has broken through to the early stage of the Divine Radiance Realm, just like yours.”
On Li Yan's side, his protector also informed him of this firsthand news.
In fact, Li Yan had already sensed it himself without him having to report it.
After all, he and Li Wei were brothers, and he had already sensed Li Wei's breakthrough the moment he broke through to the next level.
"It seems he's quite fast."
He made a nonchalant sound, then silently closed his eyes.
"Others' advancement in cultivation level is their own achievement; we shouldn't pay too much attention to such things."
Li Yan is the eldest brother, and he has been at the early stage of the Divine Radiance Realm for quite some time now. He could step into the middle stage of the Divine Radiance Realm at any time.
Therefore, he really didn't take Li Wei's early stage of the Divine Radiance Realm seriously.
The higher the level, the harder it is to improve. It will probably take Li Wei some time to truly catch up with him.
