#316 - Chapter 315 Are You Deserving?
Li Chenqiu took a step and walked straight into the front yard of the villa.
Xiang Nanzhi and Ye Yu exchanged a look, and then hurriedly followed.
"How did you do that?" Xiang Nanzhi leaned to Li Chenqiu's left.
Li Chenqiu raised his left arm and pushed forward with his hand in the air, "I just pushed it open, what's wrong?"
"Pushed it open?" Several big question marks popped up above Xiang Nanzhi's head.
"The ability of a Soul Weapon."
Li Chenqiu didn't explain too much, brushing it over in one sentence.
How could a metal gate stop him, who possessed "Extreme Gold"? If he wanted, he could turn that gate into a metal butterfly knot in an instant.
Click——
The wooden double doors of the villa opened from the inside.
A woman in a plain-colored kimono, about thirty years old, walked out of the door with a cold face.
"Stop!" The kimono woman shouted sharply.
Li Chenqiu continued to walk forward, completely ignoring the woman's existence.
"How dare you trespass into a private residence without permission? I'm going to report this to the City Guard..."
Li Chenqiu spread out his hands, looking innocent, and said, "Didn't you open the door for me? Why are you slandering me for trespassing now?"
"When did I open the door for you? You clearly forced your way in..."
The kimono woman's voice stopped abruptly, her eyes fixed on the intact lock.
This... how is the lock still intact?
The kimono woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to her senses, hurried down the steps, and stood in front of Li Chenqiu, "You can't go in!"
Li Chenqiu stood in front of the woman, looking down at her, "Are you sure you won't let me?"
"I..."
After the kimono woman met Li Chenqiu's dark and silent eyes, she subconsciously took a small step back, unable to say the word "sure" after "I".
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Just then, several sounds of rushing wind came from behind Li Chenqiu.
Li Chenqiu and his group of three turned to look behind them at the same time.
What came into view were nearly ten men wearing uniform black combat uniforms, holding samurai swords, of varying ages.
These people had sharp eyes and exuded a stern aura. The moment they appeared, the temperature in the front yard seemed to drop below freezing.
"Esteemed guest, enough is enough. This is not a place for you to come," the short man standing in the front slowly said.
Although the other party's Northern Federation language was very non-standard, Li Chenqiu could barely understand it.
Xiang Nanzhi knew that in this kind of situation, her role as a Threefold Forbidden Fate was not suitable for speaking, so she sensibly pulled Ye Yu behind Li Chenqiu.
"Enough is enough?" Li Chenqiu raised an eyebrow, "I thought I had done something very outrageous, to the point where you need to use force to stop me."
The kimono woman distanced herself from Li Chenqiu, "We don't want to escalate things to that point, please leave as soon as possible."
Li Chenqiu smiled contemptuously, "Let me leave? Are you worthy?"
The moment the words fell, a wisp of black smoke floated out of Ember, condensed into shape in front of Li Chenqiu, and transformed into a Soul Weapon.
"Master."
Huang Jianhua knelt on one knee.
Li Chenqiu said with a cold expression, "From now on, whoever obstructs me, stops me, or hurts me, kill them all, understand?"
"Understood."
Huang Jianhua stood up, retreated to the side, and stood there like a log.
The group of men in black looked unsightly, watching the harmless Huang Jianhua with fear.
Li Chenqiu looked at the expressions on everyone's faces and slowly said, "It seems you should all know who I am and understand the abilities of my Spirit Artifact, which makes things much simpler."
Li Chenqiu pointed to Huang Jianhua and said, "Ninth Forbidden strength, if you want to experience it, feel free to attack me."
After speaking, Li Chenqiu walked towards the villa door without looking back, Xiang Nanzhi and Ye Yu hurriedly followed.
"What should we do? He's going in!"
"Then go stop him."
That person didn't speak.
Li Chenqiu stepped onto the steps and walked straight towards the kimono woman.
The kimono woman said with a stiff face, "We are from the Takahashi Conglomerate, acting on the orders of the Takahashi Conglomerate, do you know that?"
"I know."
Li Chenqiu walked up to the kimono woman, as if he didn't see her, raised his leg and took the next step.
The kimono woman's face changed, and she hurriedly took a step back with her left foot, panicking to dodge to the side. Because she was too hasty, she fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Thank you."
Li Chenqiu nodded in thanks and walked into the villa.
Xiang Nanzhi, who was following behind, bent down and made a face at the woman, then quickly followed Li Chenqiu's steps.
As soon as he walked into the villa, a chill hit Li Chenqiu's face.
"Hmm?"
Li Chenqiu murmured in surprise, looking around.
Dusty tiles, white walls, empty living room, there was no trace of anyone living here at all.
"Hmm?" Xiang Nanzhi curiously looked around, "What's going on? Didn't you say this is Lu Xiancong's residence?"
Li Chenqiu walked towards the staircase, saying without turning his head, "Look around everywhere."
"Okay." Xiang Nanzhi responded, reaching out and putting her hand on Ye Yu's shoulder, "You follow me."
Because the villa had no furniture, it was empty, and you could see everything at a glance. In less than three minutes, Li Chenqiu had looked all over the second and third floors.
Not to mention people, there wasn't even a bed, and the sink was covered with a thin layer of dust.
"What kind of information did Wen Renqing give us? We're supposed to be rescuing him, but the address is wrong, and we can't even find the person."
Li Chenqiu patted the dust off his body, grabbed the railing and jumped down, landing steadily in the living room.
At the same time, Xiang Nanzhi, who had finished checking the basement, also returned to the living room.
Li Chenqiu asked expectantly, "Did you find anything?"
Xiang Nanzhi spread out her palms and smiled helplessly, "The basement isn't even decorated."
Li Chenqiu lowered his eyebrows, stood in the center of the living room and looked around, "It looks like Lu Xiancong shouldn't be here."
Xiang Nanzhi complained, "How does Wen Renqing do things? He can even get the address wrong, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Ask someone else."
Saying that, Li Chenqiu walked out of the villa and stood in front of the door.
Looking at the empty front yard, Li Chenqiu muttered to himself, "They ran fast—Huang Jianhua."
"Master."
Huang Jianhua lowered his head to Li Chenqiu.
Li Chenqiu instructed, "Bring that kimono woman over."
"As you command."
As the words fell, Huang Jianhua's figure swayed and disappeared in place.
Not long after, a gust of wind blew past.
Whoosh——
Huang Jianhua reappeared in front of Li Chenqiu. At the same time, the kimono woman was lifted up with one hand like a chick, her feet off the ground.
Bang!
As Huang Jianhua released his hand, the kimono woman fell to the ground in a mess.
Li Chenqiu squatted down, revealing a friendly smile, "Why did you run for no reason?"
