Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 270 Yu Xuan's Dilemma

?

"What about Chen Li?" Yu Xuan immediately asked her as soon as Bei Lian'er entered her room.

Bei Lian'er immediately sat beside her. "He was too exhausted after he trained in Hell since yesterday, and he has fallen asleep now, but he will definitely meet you after he wakes up. However, he has already told me about his plans for my brother, Yu Lei, and Shen Yu."

"What will he do with them?" Yu Xuan impatiently asked.

Bei Lian'er sighed heavily and told her about Chen Li's plans for those three people, which made Yu Xuan's expression really complicated, and she didn't expect that he intended to do something like that. "What do you think I should do now?"

"I know you care a lot about Yu Lei, but you should already understand Chen Li's character." Bei Lian'er responded with a soft sigh and took Yu Xuan's hand. "You've already begged him to spare Bei Qiang, and I'm sure that's already the limit of his tolerance."

"I know that." Yu Xuan sighed with a sad look. "After all, Yu Lei is my brother, and I really don't want anything to happen to him, or our mother will definitely be very sad about losing him."

"What can you do now?" Bei Lian'er asked with a shake of her head. "Even Sister Hua doesn't dare beg him to spare Yu Lei, so I think you shouldn't beg for him either. If you beg him again to spare your brother as well, I'm afraid that he will hate you, and he might also do something bad to you."

Yu Xuan fell silent after hearing that, even though she wanted to save her brother from Chen Li, but she also felt afraid that he would end up hating her because of that.

Bei Lian'er couldn't help but sigh when she saw her like that, and she then spoke to her again. "Xuan, I know about your feelings, but Yu Lei has committed a very big mistake, and he has to pay for everything. Your mother might be sad if she loses him, but it would be better if you thought more about yourself and your daughter, or Yudie will feel sad if something bad happens to you."

*Crack*

Suddenly, Yu Hua came into the room holding the sleeping Xing Bao'er, and she said to her sister. "You should listen to Lian'er's words, Xuan'er. I also don't want anything to happen to Yu Lei, but his past deeds were simply outrageous. So I won't beg Chen Li to spare him, and I hope you won't do it either."

"Do you really have the heart to let our brother die at his hands, Big Sis?" Yu Xuan asked with a look of disbelief.

"Every action has its consequences." Yu Hua answered as she shrugged her shoulders. "Since Yu Lei dares to do something like that against Qingzhu and the Chen family, then he must be ready to accept all the consequences, and I will not protect a criminal like him, even if he is my own brother."

After she said that, Yu Hua immediately left her sister's room and took Xing Bao'er back to her room, and Bei Lian'er also left Yu Xuan's room.

Yu Xuan sighed heavily, lay down on her bed, and continued to stare at the ceiling of her room. "Do I really have to let Yu Lei die in Chen Li's hands?"

Meanwhile, at the Mo family house, Mo Ling was sitting with his parents and wife. After he thought about it for a few days, he decided to explain to them about Taotie, but they didn't seem to believe him.

"Are you sure it wasn't your hallucination?" Mo Long asked with a frown.

"I'm not hallucinating, Father." Mo Ling replied with a bitter smile, for he had already thought that they would think he had gone crazy. "You may not believe me, but I really saw Taotie with my own eyes, and those two eyes in its armpits were really scary. Besides, I also experienced a strange incident before it appeared; my demon claws suddenly disappeared when I was about to attack Keiko, and there was no one else around us at that time."

"Hmm?" Mo Long frowned after he heard that. "Could it be that the Taotie is Jiro's creation? Since we got our demon power from him, I think he must have prepared something to counter it, and he deliberately placed the creature by his daughter's side to protect her."

After hearing that, Mo Ling sighed softly. "At first, I thought so too, but after I thought things through, I couldn't believe that Jiro had the ability to create that creature. Even though he was a great scientist, and we had also used some things from his experiments, the Taotie was on a different level."

"If Jiro wasn't the one who created the Taotie, then where did that creature come from?" Yuan Wu asked with a confused look.

Mo Ling shook his head at his mother. "I don't have a definite answer about that, but I'm pretty sure that Jiro didn't create it."

"Anyway, I just remembered one thing; there was a strange phenomenon that occurred when I was in Hong Kong some time ago." After hearing that, Mo Ling and the others turned to Ye Wei, and she immediately explained it to them. "The incident happened at night, but the whole city suddenly became very bright, and I also heard the screech of a bird. However, I thought it was not an ordinary bird because the sound was very loud, and everyone in the city could hear it clearly."

They raised their eyebrows after hearing that, and Mo Ling conveyed his opinion to them. "If that's really the screech of a bird, I think it's not an ordinary bird but a Phoenix."

"A phoenix?" They looked at him in surprise.

"Yes." Mo Ling nodded to them. "As you know, I really admire the Phoenix, and I've read many stories about it, so I'm sure it was the screech of the Phoenix. Besides, if a creature like Taotie exists, it's not impossible that the Phoenix also exists, right?"

However, Mo Long shook his head in disbelief. "Since I didn't see the Taotie with my own eyes, I still find it hard to believe that the creature really exists, let alone the Phoenix. I've only heard of the two in legends, and there's no proof that they're real."

Mo Ling gritted his teeth after hearing that, and he did not speak further since his father did not believe him, but he continued to wonder in his heart about those two creatures.

Several people were sitting together in an office room, and they engaged in discussing their future plans for the new company.

"Sister Xianglin! Sister Wei'er! We have started opening the Long Feng Security Company today, and I believe Nan Wei will definitely get information about us soon. If he finds out that our three gangs have united in this company, I'm sure he will come to us, and we will definitely have to face him head-on."

"Yan Qiu is right; I think Nan Wei wouldn't keep quiet if he already knew about our involvement in this company." He Yan said to the two women.

Lu Zhe suddenly expressed his idea. "What do you think if we go to the White Tiger Gang's headquarters tomorrow night? I think it would be best if we drew Bai Lao and his gang to our side before Nan Wei became aware of us, so he wouldn't have the opportunity to persuade them to join him. Besides, Long Jiuxiao and the others will definitely be suspicious about the sudden appearance of my former gang members, especially after we disappeared for so long."

Hearing their words, Xiao Xianglin turned to her best friend. "I think Lu Zhe's idea is good, Wei'er. Although we are not afraid to face them, I think it would be better to draw the White Tiger Gang to our side quickly. If Nan Wei and the others find out about us, then it will be too late, and they won't dare to act rashly by attacking us directly."

"I also think it's a good idea, so we'll do it tomorrow night." Before they could interrupt her, Chen Wei'er hurriedly continued. "Honestly, I'm not worried about them, but I'm more worried about the government's secret agents. For now, they still don't know that the three big gangs have united under the banner of Long Feng Pavilion, but they will definitely find out soon. If the White Tiger Gang is also joining us, I'm sure they will definitely send those people to us, for they will never allow any organization to become so big."

"Are those people strong?" Yan Qiu asked with a raised eyebrow.

Chen Wei'er nodded to her. "They are very strong; even Jin Kuang and Long Jiuxiao don't dare fight them."

"Those people are strong, and only a few people know their identities." Xiao Xianglin said with a nod of approval. "However, if they knew that Sister Wan'er was on our side, I'm sure the government wouldn't dare send them, especially with their bad experiences facing her in the past."

Chen Wei'er sighed softly and stood up from her seat. "Anyway, Mo Xie is back, so I'm going back to Qingshui Mansion to discuss this matter with him, and I'll also talk to Sister Wan'er about whether she wants to take part in managing this company or not."

"Sister Wei'er! I'm going with you."
