He was a Japanese man, but he spoke fluent Chinese. I could only say that he had received professional training. If he didn't want to learn Chinese, why would he want to learn it?
After all, Chinese was the most difficult language to learn in the world. It wasn't without reason. I didn't think that Yoshida-kun was interested in Hua Xia's culture. Quite the contrary, he had some other purpose. According to Huang Yaoshi, it was possible that Yoshida-kun wanted to control the four big families in Beijing.
Damn, how could an alchemist from Japan have such guts? He must have eaten too much. Of course, if I thought about it further, it would be even more terrifying. Didn't he call himself the Emperor's alchemist?
You should know that in a place like Japan, the title of Emperor was synonymous with arrogance. Let me put it this way, it was just like the leader of the martial arts world in Huaxia. The level I was in now was only in Jianghu. The martial arts sects that were hidden in the world all had unfathomable backgrounds. Those who had the ability to become the leader of the martial arts world were not good people.
At the same time, the so-called Emperor had many similarities with the Hegemon of the martial arts world. I guessed he was in charge of the warriors and ninjas of different levels in Japan. His power and position were even comparable to the Prime Minister of Japan!
It was a shocking matter. No wonder Yoshida-kun was so arrogant. He had the capital to do so. In Japan, no matter which city he went to, the local gangs would prepare beautiful and talented actresses for him. Most of them were popular actresses.
Even the municipal officials in Nihon didn't have such a great treatment.
After a careful analysis, I realized the seriousness of this matter. Combined with the recent international situation, I suddenly had a suspicion. Could there be a connection between these two incidents?
Wouldn't that make Huang Yaoshi a traitor through and through?
Everyone knew that the capital city was the capital of China. Whether it was the degree of economic development or the geographical location, it could be said to be the capital of all ages. With hundreds and thousands of years of cultural heritage, there was this magical city, and the four great families of the capital city had witnessed the great changes in the capital city. Whether it was the geographical features or the rapid economic growth, they had a very deep feeling. After many years of hard work and accumulation, they had finally become the giant they were today.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the four big families were the lifelines of the prosperity of Beijing!
Under such circumstances, Yoshida-kun still dared to attack them. It wasn't Yoshida-kun's idea. In other words, someone with ulterior motives wanted to control the four big families first. Then, they would follow the clues and touch the core interests of Hua Xia.
It was really scary!
Just this scheme alone was enough to make people gasp in admiration. It wasn't Yoshida-kun who had the guts to do this. Someone was controlling him from behind the scenes. In other words, Yoshida-kun was just a puppet!
As for who wanted to control the four big families, it was worth discussing. I just felt strange. Why did Pavilion Master Sui find some clues and capture Huang Yaoshi? Why didn't he bring him to justice? Instead, he let him go? Did he change his ways?
Or did Pavilion Master Sui want to cast a long line to catch a big fish?
That couldn't be right. This person wasn't a fool. If the news was leaked, he would definitely avoid it. How could he bring the 'main character' to the Li family's house for a meal? It wasn't justifiable.
Or, Pavilion Master Sui had used some unorthodox methods to erase his short memory. I felt that this was the most likely possibility. After all, the person behind Huang Yaoshi couldn't follow him all the time. Once something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to hide it.
Thus, Pavilion Master Sui just wanted to use this chance to catch a big fish. If he cast a long line and caught a big fish, it would be a big profit.
I had to admit that the older the ginger, the spicier it was. Compared to Pavilion Master Sui, I was a hothead.
When he saw Old Man Li reach out his hand to take the pills, he revealed his fox tail.
"Hold on, Old Li, I have to make things clear first. These pills are refined with a special method, and the cost is … uh, a pile of genuine Heavenly Treasures. I'll be honest with you, the cost is no less than a few million, not to mention the value. Pills of this grade are basically priceless existences!
However, it is fate that we met. How about this, the Li family will increase my shares by 5% every year! "
"What?
5% is already not a small amount. You want to increase it every year? How is that possible? Does my Li family want to live?!
This is absolutely impossible! "Old Man Li shook his head like a rattle drum. Once again, he strongly denied Kojiro's words.
"We can talk about this. I'm just expressing my intention to cooperate. Old Li, don't forget, life is the most precious thing at any time. Don't you want to see the Li family full of descendants?" Yoshida-kun said without any hesitation.
The latter acted as if he didn't hear it. At this time, a figure slowly walked over.
"It's him!" Old Man Li's eyes were very good. With a casual glance, he found that it was me.
He secretly let out a sigh of relief. He had been looking at me, but didn't see any movement. This made Old Man Li speechless. He even suspected that I ran away halfway.
It was normal for him to think like this. The knowledge of Chinese medicine was broad and profound. Almost everyone knew about it.
However, in the minds of most people, the art of alchemy was more powerful and practical. Coupled with the supreme title of the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Alchemist, he looked handsome and well-dressed. It was no wonder that girls kept sticking to him.
After seeing me appear, everyone was stunned. They didn't understand what I meant.
"Old Man Li, is this guy your servant here?" Yoshida-kun glanced at me, then said with disdain.
"No, no, no. This is my benefactor," Old Man Li said without hesitation.
