Chapter 241: Grievances
Comrade Sun Hongyi heard Li Qian's words, which carried a hint of sarcasm, and was taken aback. However, he had no intention of engaging in a verbal sparring match with Li Qian. Instead, he quickly walked over to Sun Ruirui's side.
Seeing Comrade Sun approaching Sun Ruirui, although he knew it was out of good intentions, Li Qian still felt the need to remind him, "Ruirui is currently awakening her Beast Taming Talent. If I were you, I certainly wouldn't go and disturb her."
Li Qian's words had an immediate effect, and Comrade Sun, after hearing this, indeed retracted his hand which he had already extended.
Without pausing, Li Qian continued, half-mocking and half-explaining, "Don't make it hard for me to pull someone back from the brink of death, only for you to push her back down."
If Comrade Sun had been a little bewildered by Li Qian's previous words, he was now genuinely confused.
He looked at Li Qian with a puzzled expression and unconsciously asked, "Beast Taming Talent? What Beast Taming Talent?"
No one knew more about his niece's Beast Taming Talent than Comrade Sun. However, upon hearing this, he couldn't bring himself to believe it, feeling as if it were an absurd tale.
Li Qian noticed his reaction and showed no signs of holding back. He continued to squeeze out a sarcastic remark, "Haha, Comrade Sun, you've only been gone for a short while, and now you've returned as a senile old man? You don't even know what your niece's Beast Taming Talent is?"
His words were purely meant to mock Comrade Sun, and he was well aware that Comrade Sun wasn't actually unaware; he simply couldn't bring himself to believe it.
He couldn't bring himself to believe that the problem that had plagued him for so many years, the nightmare that had haunted his mind, had been resolved, and seemingly by Li Qian, a mere high school graduate. Such an absurd scenario made Comrade Sun doubt himself.
"You resolved Ruirui's Awakened Bringer of Oceanic Catastrophe problem?" Comrade Sun finally reacted, but the suspicion on his face didn't lessen.
"How did you resolve it..." He wanted to ask Li Qian about the method he used to solve this problem, but after a quick glance, he noticed the towering presence of the Tidal Wind and the Golden Rain.
"Uh, two Tide Sea Spirits!"
Seeing the two Tide Sea Spirits at the scene, Comrade Sun immediately realized what was happening, "You've researched the complete evolution path from Golden Pearl Bud to Tide Sea Spirit?"
"I've told you before, I'm a Cultivation Genius. It's not difficult for me to find the flaws in the evolution path from Golden Pearl Bud to Tide Sea Spirit and then fill in those flaws," Li Qian boasted without any modesty.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't boasting, as with the assistance of the Golden Finger, filling in the flaws in the evolution path was indeed an easier task for Li Qian.
At least, it was like this before surpassing the Imperial Rank.
"Don't show off in front of me, old man. It could just be a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse," Comrade Sun said after understanding the situation. Having listened to Li Qian's sarcasm for so long, he was getting annoyed and directly refuted him.
"Professor Sun, this time you've really guessed wrong. Li Qian has indeed mastered the complete evolution path from Golden Pearl Bud to Tide Sea Spirit," just then, Li Suokuan walked over from the nearby road with a smile.
"How did you... Li Sheng!" Comrade Sun was about to refute, but as he turned his head, he saw a somewhat familiar face. Recognizing the person, he immediately changed his tone and became more respectful.
Li Suokuan didn't acknowledge Comrade Sun's change in attitude. He continued, "In fact, as far as I know, Li Qian's mastery of Imperial Potential Rank evolution paths isn't limited to just this one."
"This..." After hearing Li Suokuan's words, Comrade Sun knew he wouldn't deceive him, and his expression became quite interesting. He stammered but couldn't find the right words.
Even a Holy Spirit Rank expert was speaking up for Li Qian; how could he refute that?
"Li Sheng, my niece Ruirui..." Since he couldn't refute, Comrade Sun decided to change the subject. To be honest, he was genuinely concerned about Sun Ruirui, as she still showed no signs of waking up and remained standing there like a wooden statue.
Li Suokuan walked over to observe Sun Ruirui's condition. Soon, a smile appeared on his face, "Rest assured, Professor Sun. Your niece will be fine."
He continued without pause, "Not only will she be fine, but her condition is surprisingly good right now. She has completely awakened the Beast Taming Talent of the Awakened Bringer of Oceanic Catastrophe."
At this point, he glanced meaningfully at Li Qian, "So you really should thank Li Qian. Without him, your niece wouldn't have lasted until your return."
As a Holy Spirit Rank expert, Li Suokuan wouldn't deceive anyone, so Comrade Sun's expression became a bit odd. He wanted to express his gratitude to Li Qian but didn't know how to put it into words, and his face was filled with embarrassment.
Seeing Comrade Sun's embarrassment, Li Qian squeezed out another sarcastic remark, "If you find it embarrassing, then forget it. Anyway, we won't have much interaction in the future, and I wouldn't dare to have any more dealings with you. I'm afraid I'll be implicated and end up dead..."
"You little brat, did you eat gunpowder today? Your words are so sharp and cutting," Comrade Sun directly retorted, feeling a bit annoyed.
Li Qian responded without hesitation, "Eat gunpowder? I wish I could eat a bomb and then spit it right in your face!"
Comrade Sun wasn't a fool. Hearing the complaint in Li Qian's words, he finally realized something was amiss and immediately asked, "What else happened here?"
Li Qian didn't answer but walked over to where Liao Bo was lying on the ground, beaten beyond recognition. He picked him up and threw him in front of Comrade Sun like a piece of trash.
Comrade Sun was stunned for a moment when he saw Liao Bo, who was barely recognizable. He quickly identified him by his clothes and general build, and exclaimed in surprise, "This is Elder Liao? What's going on here?"
Li Qian chuckled and pointed to Liao Bo, who was lying on the ground like a pile of mud, "That's right, this person is your Elder Liao, and he's quite capable. Not only is he your head steward, but he's also the Divine Messenger of the Ancient Deity Sect!"
