Chapter 58 The Multilateral Conference

Li Ping'an unconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Li Chengqian must get hurt in Gloomy Dragon Pool rather than in other places.

Wan Shanhe, a strong person whose power was beyond the Awakening Stage, quickly took action after Li Chengqian had gotten hurt. People would think of the connection between the two things.

After thinking for a while, Li Ping'an looked at Lin Jianjia and asked, "Jianjia, is it likely that Wan Shanhe has dispatched another team to Gloomy Dragon Pool?"

Lin Jianjia slowly nodded and answered with a serious expression on her face, "Yes, it is. However, the dark python there is pretty aggressive. It's not easy for Wan Shanhe to defeat it, either. But..."

Lin Jianjia stopped for a while, staring at Li Ping'an, and went on, "Daniu, if Wan Shanhe had killed the dark python, he would not have held the multilateral conference. The powerful groups restart heading for Gloomy Dragon Pool, so they must have a thorough plan. That's to say, they also knew earlier there was the Longxian Herb protected by the dark python."

"Daniu, it's hard to explain it clearly. In short, the aim of the multilateral conference is not simple, so we must make preparations earlier."

Li Ping'an heavily nodded.

Lin Jianjia seldom looked so worried. Although her words were fuzzy and her conclusion was not exact, Li Ping'an still understood her meaning.

There were two possibilities.

The first was that Wan Shanhe had already been to Gloomy Dragon Pool. Even if he didn't slay the dark python, he knew the secretive news that the Longxian Herb had been stolen by others.

The second one was that he had been to Gloomy Dragon Pool, but he didn't defeat the dark python, so he summoned powerful groups to discuss how to slay it.

He had been famous for so many years. As the eighth strongest person in Walt Country, he was indeed powerful and in a stable position.

Strong as the dark python was, Li Ping'an didn't believe that it could defeat Wan Shanhe when it battled with him.

After all, the Longxian Herb, the most powerful treasure of this dark python had been stolen by Li Ping'an.

After analyzing the situation, Li Ping'an told Lin Jianjia his conclusion.

Lin Jianjia frowned and bit her lips. A few moments later, she nodded and said, "Daniu, I favor the first possibility. Perhaps, Wan Shanhe wants to announce in the multilateral conference that the Longxian Herb has been stolen. In any situation, he will be the biggest winner."

"Sh*t! This b*st*rd!"

Li Ping'an couldn't help spitting and cursing him.

When he dealt with Wan Shanhe, a powerful man, Li Ping'an was so alert and decisive that he nearly didn't leave any traces. However, persons like him were so influential that Li Ping'an had been threatened by them.

"Jianjia, it's futile to think so much. Since they have already held a multilateral conference, the news will come out soon. We had better make our next step. Oh, is it okay for Lin Kai to stay in Nanzhili City alone?"

Lin Jianjia got the meaning of Li Ping'an, so she answered with a smile, "Daniu, don't worry about that. He is cleverer than a monkey. It's a secret that I asked Ma Yuan and Cui Chenggang to join me to go to the mountain. They even didn't tell their families. They wanted to be rich by carrying out private tasks."

"My father has been dead, but he has many old friends. Although they will not help us a lot, they will try to protect us."

Li Ping'an smiled back. He had known Lin Jianjia for a long time, so he was increasingly attracted by her personality and even herself.

"Jianjia, if so, we had better not stay in HD City to waste time. We can go to a bigger city and try to sell odd melons. Of course, we can inquire about news. If no one wants to buy them, we will cultivate them by ourselves."

Lin Jianjia nodded, smiling, and took out a familiar herb from her bag.

"Ah."

Li Ping'an was surprised for a while and then realized what those were. He took her bag for a look, "Oh, my god, Jianjia, really? You have brought these herbs back, right?"

There should have been more than thirty Teling Herbs in her bag.

These herbs were acquired by them in the valley of Scarp Swallow.

Lin Jianjia looked at Li Ping'an with disdain, "Daniu, do you think that people don't know how to make or save money like you? Picking the Teling Herbs is our main task before. So, how could I discard them? It's a pity that the Teling Herbs fetched by you and Cui Chenggang have been wasted."

Li Ping'an was so delighted that he burst into laughter and wanted to kiss her on her soft face.

He was worried that he didn't have enough money, so he thought about how to make some money. Unexpectedly, Lin Jianjia brought the Teling Herbs back.

As the Teling Herb was less valuable than the odd melon, they didn't need to think twice to sell it. Strong and rich, they waited for a proper chance.

Powerful as Wan Shanhe was, he had already fallen behind them.

...

After they discussed the detail of their plan for a while, Lin Jianjia took out her bank card. Li Ping'an was startled that she had saved 100 million yuan.

Therefore, it was not urgent for them to sell any Teling Herb in HD City. They could leave this city right now.

They took a rest before having lunch and then went to the second-hand car market in the east district of HD City.

In the current situation, driving was still the safest way for them to leave away.

Their information cards were required when they took a maglev train or a plane.

It was okay for Li Ping'an to be discovered. After all, he was not famous with incomplete information recorded in his information card. So it was hard to identify who he was.

But Lin Jianjia was in a different situation.

She was the beautiful daughter of the boss of Black Hawk Martial Arts Club. Therefore, she was a little famous in Nanzhili City, even in the areas around the Taihang Mountain.

It was a secretive action that they had been in the mountain. However, people could find out what they had done and where they were now if someone wanted to investigate them.

For the sake of their safety, they used the information of Li Daniu.

Besides, the process of buying a second-hand car was easy, including registration and payment. So, they could leave away after paying for the car.

Actually, Li Ping'an and Lin Jianjia had one half-matured Longxian Herb and nine odd melons, which were so valuable that they could enable the two people to afford a luxury car or even an intelligent fighter jet.

But they didn't want to draw much attention.

Li Ping'an wore a plain sports fleece, sports pants, and sneakers. He was well-built and handsome, but not attractive enough.

Beside him, Lin Jianjia was remarkably charming.

Even if she wore a simple sport fleece and short pants, her perfect face and long hair as supple as the cascade were attractive, especially her white and long legs that would make passers-by admire in the street.

Li Ping'an sighed and took her to a sports brand shop beside the road. He forced her to wear long sports pants, a big cap, and sports mask. Now, she was fully covered. He also wore a cap. Then he was less worried.

After walking out of the store, Lin Jianjia took off her mask and pouted her mouth, "Li Daniu, why are you so aggressive? Since I have nothing to do with you, why should I follow your words?"

"..."

Li Ping'an was speechless and squinted at her, "If you want to show your remarkable figure, you will do it to me in a hotel later. If you are n***d, I will be okay with it. Now, we are in the street, so don't be so sexy. Otherwise, I will make you look uglier by drawing two tortoises on your face."

"Daniu, if you dare to do so, I'm going to take revenge on you."

Lin Jianjia glared at Li Ping'an. However, her angry eyesight was quickly replaced by a happy one.

Actually, she had never liked wearing sexy clothes, but out of nowhere, she wanted to be the sexiest lady before him.

Perhaps the storm ended just now, when they came to the second-hand car market, there were few people there.

Li Ping'an had a driving license, but he knew little about cars. On the contrary, Lin Jianjia knew much about them.

After they showed around the market, Lin Jianjia chose a relatively new small SUV worth about 200 thousand yuan.

She bought it with a bank card. The boss wanted to wash the car for them but was rejected by her.

The dirty car was a good choice for them because they didn't want to draw attention.

After finishing procedures, Li Ping'an had the first car that belonged to him.

He and Lin Jianjia refueled the car and purchased some articles for daily use before driving southwards along the expressway.

They had discussed many times where they should go to sell their treasures and avoid dangers.

Lin Jianjia preferred Yanjing.

As Yanjing was close to Nanzhili City and familiar to her, it was easy for her to seek help from her familiar people.

But Li Ping'an rejected her at once.

It was not difficult to hide in Yanjing, a good and inclusive city. However, Li Ping'an was not strong enough to protect himself when he was threatened by someone whose power was beyond the Awakening Stage. In other words, he didn't feel safe in Yanjing.

By contrast, HD City was in a good position. They could escape from any direction: the north, the west and the south.

Li Ping'an had traveled before, so he knew that big cities in the west were prosperous, but Jiangnan was still the best place for them.

It was the best choice for them to sell goods and acquire information.

So, they came to Hanjiang City first.

The rain just stopped, so there were few cars on the expressway. Li Ping'an drove the car quickly and seldom adjusted the steering wheel.

He talked with Lin Jianjia, so he didn't feel bored or alone.

It was soon after they had driven southwards along the expressway.

In the Taihang Hotel, a landmark in Nanzhili City.

There was a multilateral conference joined by powerful groups, such as Dongyue Energy Group, Xiangyun Gene, Fairy Island Creature, and MAD Group in a luxury meeting hall of the hotel.

A remarkably strong middle-aged man in a black Tang suit naturally sat in the seat of honor, looking around people in the meeting room with his sharp eyes.

People dared not to look back at him but cast their eyes down.

Even some powerful people from Xiangyun Gene, Fairy Island Creature, and MAD Group all temporarily eschewed his sharp eyesight.

The middle-aged man got used to the atmosphere. So he looked at the powerful people from these powerful groups and said, "Today, I will announce an important thing to you in this meeting."

People in the room whispered but they became silent soon.

They all fixed their eyes at the strong middle-aged man.

He suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "Everyone, now it's time to end the long battle of Gloomy Dragon Pool. I have been there before, and I discovered something. I will show a photo to you."

As he said this, he waved his hand.

At once, the staff behind the scene presented high-definition photos that had been prepared in advance.
