"Today, my people from the Allheaven Sect have offended the master. As the leader of the Allheaven Sect, I cannot shirk responsibility!"
Zhao Tianlong spoke up, declaring, "I shall cut off an arm myself!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Zhao Tianlong picked up an axe and swung it toward his own arm.
Clang...
At that exact moment, the axe in his hand was instantly shattered by an external force.
The members of the Allheaven Sect were startled, turning their gazes toward Li Shiqi with expressions of sheer astonishment.
Li Shiqi had actually shattered the axe from a distance without touching it—what kind of terrifying power and technique was this?
No wonder he was able to become the successor of the Divine Dragon Ring; it was truly horrifying.
"The matter has already been settled, so why must you resort to self-harm in front of me?"
Li Shiqi said, "Since you all acknowledge me as your master, I will grant your wish!"
"Thank you, Master, for your mercy!"
Zhao Tianlong was overjoyed. The technique Li Shiqi had just displayed had shaken him to the core.
"It's not good to make such a huge fuss in the middle of the night!"
Li Shiqi continued, "Do not be so ostentatious in the future. I do not wish for people to know my true identity just yet."
"It was this subordinate's rashness!"
Zhao Tianlong hastily cupped his fists in salute and produced a bank card. "This is the membership card of our Allheaven Sect. Since the master has just arrived in Longcheng, surely you have use for it!"
Li Shiqi looked at it and didn't refuse, reaching out to take it.
While he wasn't exactly short on money right now, freebies shouldn't be turned down.
More importantly, if he could take control of the Allheaven Sect, dealing with the Lu Family in the future would undoubtedly become much easier.
After exchanging a few more words, Li Shiqi headed upstairs.
Lord Hu asked with curiosity, "With the master's unfathomable and godlike abilities, why is he living in a shared apartment?"
"Some matters are not for us to probe into!"
Zhao Tianlong waved his hand and ordered, "Pass down the command: from this day forward, no member of the Allheaven Sect is allowed to offend the master, and even less so anyone the master cares about!"
"Understood!"
The crowd cupped their fists in unison, their voices ringing out powerfully.
The next day.
Li Shiqi took Li Weiwei by the hand and went to the largest shopping mall in Longcheng.
Li Weiwei had suffered greatly over the years; even the clothes she wore had been washed until they were completely faded.
Since he happened to have some free time today, he wanted to buy her a few new outfits.
"Are you hooking up with a sugar daddy now?"
Shen Ruofang glanced at Li Shiqi and asked, "What is your relationship with that woman from last night?"
"Huh?"
Li Shiqi was momentarily stunned, then looked at Shen Ruofang.
"I didn't mean anything by it, just asking out of curiosity!"
Shen Ruofang felt a bit awkward. After all, this was Li Shiqi's personal business, and it wasn't his place to pry.
Yet, deep down, he couldn't suppress his envy. When had Li Shiqi gotten to know such a wealthy woman, and one so breathtakingly gorgeous at that? It left him feeling rather unbalanced.
"The shop ahead has decent clothing quality!"
Li Shiqi pulled Li Weiwei along and walked toward the store.
Li Weiwei glanced at it and hastily shook her head. "Clothes in this store are very expensive—they're all top-tier designer brands!"
"Back when our Li Family hadn't fallen into decline, didn't you used to come to this shop all the time?"
Li Shiqi smiled. "Your brother has money now, so don't worry about things like that!"
Li Weiwei felt reluctant, yet she didn't want to ruin Li Shiqi's pride.
Perhaps she didn't yet know that the card Li Shiqi had given her yesterday held a massive sum of ten million.
Maybe she simply thought there were only a few thousand yuan inside—money Li Shiqi had earned from practicing medicine and treating patients.
After browsing inside the shop for a moment, Li Weiwei said, "There's nothing I like here. Let's go check out other stores!"
"This used to be your favorite brand!"
Li Shiqi shook his head. "Why don't you look a bit closer?"
A bitter feeling welled up in Li Weiwei's heart. She had indeed liked this brand in the past.
But times had changed, and the Li Family was no more. Now, even mere survival was extremely difficult; how could they possibly afford such luxury goods?
"Well, well, if it isn't Li Weiwei?"
A young woman walked over, sneering. "Are you here to buy clothes too?"
"Zhang Ya?"
Li Weiwei glanced at her, looking somewhat awkward.
Word had it that Zhang Ya had found a boyfriend who was more than willing to spend money on her.
Because of this, Zhang Ya was famously known as a wealthy spendthrift at school.
"Is she your classmate?"
The bald man standing beside Zhang Ya glanced at Li Weiwei, his eyes lighting up.
"More or less!"
Zhang Ya nodded, showing utter disdain for Li Weiwei.
Who in their class didn't know that Li Weiwei had gone to wash dishes just to earn a few meager yuan?
In her eyes, having someone like Li Weiwei in their class was nothing short of an embarrassment.
Shen Ruofang glanced at the bald man and shook his head.
No wonder Zhang Ya was so lavish with her spending at school—it turned out she was being kept by a sugar daddy.
More importantly, this bald man was already in his forties, yet she could actually bring herself to be with him.
"Weiwei, I think this piece looks nice!"
Li Shiqi picked out an outfit and held it up in front of Li Weiwei.
"This clothing is a limited edition. Can you even afford it?"
Zhang Ya glanced at them and scoffed, "Besides, with someone like him, do you think he can afford to buy you more than a few rags?"
Li Shiqi frowned slightly. "There is nothing in this world that my sister cannot afford to wear!"
"Hmph!"
Zhang Ya let out a disdainful sneer, then turned to the sales assistant. "I want this piece!"
"Miss, this outfit is a limited edition; we only have one in stock," the sales assistant said awkwardly.
"Surely you don't think the likes of them can afford to buy it, do you?" Zhang Ya asked.
"This clothing isn't cheap!"
The bald man frowned. "The price tag says eighty-eight thousand!"
Zhang Ya looked at the tag, and her expression turned somewhat unsightly.
She only knew that the brand was expensive, but she had no idea it cost *that* much.
Although the bald man was a construction contractor, he only made around a million a year; he would probably be reluctant to spend so much money buying such an expensive item for her.
"Sir, this clothing..."
The sales assistant looked somewhat awkward. Li Shiqi and his group didn't look like wealthy patrons; if she missed out on a VIP customer like Zhang Ya, wouldn't she lose out on her commission?
"Since she wants it, let her buy it."
Li Shiqi spoke indifferently and hung the garment back up.
He wanted to see whether this bald man was truly willing to spend money on her.
"Cough, cough..."
Zhang Ya coughed lightly a few times and looked toward the bald man.
"You surely don't expect me to buy you this outfit, do you?"
The bald man said coldly, "Do you really think my money falls from the sky?"
"You..."
Zhang Ya's expression changed drastically. She cared deeply about her face and reputation.
To suffer such humiliation in front of her classmates filled her with burning anger. "You slept with me four times last night, and now you're being stingy over buying me a piece of clothing? Is this how you act as a boyfriend?"
"Stinking bitch, do you really take me for a pushover?"
The bald man flicked his sleeve and turned to walk out of the store. "A cheap slut like you wants to buy such expensive clothes? Do you think you're worthy?"
Watching the bald man's retreating figure, Zhang Ya stood frozen on the spot, her face turning pale with rage.
"Help me pack this up."
Li Shiqi's voice rang out as he produced a bank card.
