Chapter 1108 of "Super Soldier in the City" opens showing suspense: Chapter 1108: Chapter 1154: Victory Before The BattleSuâs Third Eldest nudged his way to Meng... Continue the adventure!
Chapter 1108: Chapter 1154: Victory Before The BattleSuâs Third Eldest nudged his way to Meng Qianjun and his group, wearing a grin, said, "Have you seen this? This ladâs not going to let you off the hook, so youâd better watch out."
Wei Zijun responded with a faint smile, "We will be careful."
"Then give me a hint, how do you plan to handle this? We want to know how to make it more fun."
Wei Zijun and his two companions truly despised Suâs Third Eldest. Had Suâs Third Eldest not meddled last time, they would have already crushed the Li family, eliminating their existence. If the Li family were gone, the higher-ups would no longer pay attention to Li Yifei, and none of todayâs events would be happening.
So now they were on guard against Suâs Third Eldest as if he were worse than a thief.
Li Yifeiâs speech wasnât long; he merely wanted to let everyone know about the establishment of the Li family. Moreover, today was a day of great joy, and he didnât wish to dampen the spirits with further negative remarks, so after displaying his dominance, he only spoke some grandiose and righteous words.
Next came a few small ceremonies. The establishment of the Li family couldnât be called high-profile since not many prominent families attended, but it wasnât low-profile either. The mere presence of several major families from Capital City marked a significant show of face, along with important figures from Mile City, which definitely signified the level of importance the new family held in the eyes of the upper class.
In fact, the families attending Li Yifeiâs family establishment werenât the only ones; many others sent congratulatory gifts through the Su Family and other families. These families hadnât previously made contact with Li Yifei and felt it inappropriate to come uninvited.
These families were all prestigious families from Capital City. Only they were privy to Li Yifeiâs interactions with the higher-ups, while provincial-level families were completely unaware of such matters.
Their gifts to Li Yifei werenât just about currying favor. Even if Li Yifei had the higher-upsâ approval, it wasnât enough for him to rival them. But the signals from above were too overt, implying that, for the time being, no one should lay a finger on Li Yifei. They thought it better to make an impression on Li Yifei now and pave the way for smoother interactions in the future.
Such matters were beyond most peopleâs understanding. Even among Mile Cityâs local dignitaries, only a few truly grasped the major familiesâ intentions.
After the ceremony, everyone was free to do as they pleased. They could tour Li Yifeiâs house, chat over drinks, and the event was like an open-air cocktail party with an endless supply of food and drink. There was also a swimming pool open for use. Even though it was only morning, temperature control allowed for a delightful swim at this hour.
The important figures who arrived were mostly of the older set, mostly interested in Li Yifeiâs golf course at home. Although it wasnât a professional course, it was sizeable, and they found it to be quite enjoyable.
However, the employees of Li Yifeiâs company were having a blast. They marveled at the size and beauty of Li Yifeiâs grounds, and some female colleagues toured Su Yiyiâs villa, which left them green with envy.
The biggest draw was undoubtedly the swimming pool, with both men and women donning swimsuits to enjoy swimming in a private pool, a thoroughly delightful experience.
At this moment, Meng Qianjun stood atop a faux-mountain rock with Li Yifei, and to their surprise, Meng Xiaofei was behind them at Meng Qianjunâs special request.
"Brother Yifei, I donât intend to talk peace," Meng Qianjun said. "You killed my brother, and I nearly took your wife. Now my sisterâs with you. Our relationship is truly a tangled mess."
Meng Qianjun, with hands clasped behind his back and gazing at a nearby garden brook, did not seem as brutish without the other young masters around, but rather composed and steady.
Meng Xiaofei immediately protested, "Hey, donât spout nonsense. Iâm just Brother Liâs little sister. Youâre my blood cousin, and he has treated me better than you ever did."
Meng Qianjun chuckled, "Itâs true what they say; girls always look outward. Once a woman has a man she likes, she dedicates all her thoughts to him."
Meng Xiaofei, clearly irked, retorted, "I told you, Brother Li is just my brother, but you keep spewing nonsense. If you keep this up, Iâll get Brother Li to beat you up." Her voice, however, lacked confidence, and her cheeks reddened as she glanced at Li Yifei.
Meng Qianjun turned to Meng Xiaofei and said slowly, "Xiaofei, Iâm six years your senior, and Iâve watched you grow up. Youâre not one to hide your thoughts. Whatever is on your mind, itâs written all over your face."
"Ah... No way... I definitely donât," Meng Xiaofei covered her face with her hands, growing even more flustered, and dared not to look at Li Yifei.
Meng Qianjun patted Meng Xiaofeiâs shoulder and said, "Xiaofei, being with Brother Yifei could be a good thing or a bad thing for you."
"Ah... What bad thing?"
Meng Qianjun sighed, "Brother Yifei and I will inevitably have a fierce battle to the death. And when that happens, one of us will surely die. If Brother Yifei kills me, you, a tough girl, will still stand by his side. But if I were to kill your husband, then youâd be a widow. Me, as your brother, turning my sister into a widow... that would be tragic."
"You couldnât possibly kill Brother Li. Donât be so full of yourself," Meng Xiaofei said disdainfully.
Meng Qianjun laughed again, "Alright, in your heart, your manâs life means much more than your blood cousinâs. But following Brother Yifei does have its perks. If I were to die, for your sake, Yifei wouldnât completely annihilate our Meng family. This at least ensures our Meng family remains undefeated. So, even before the battle, Iâve already won half the fight."
Meng Xiaofei cast a quick glance at Li Yifei and then whispered softly, "Why do the two of you insist on fighting each other to the death?"
Meng Qianjun cracked a slight smile, looked at Meng Xiaofei affectionately, and said, "Xiaofei, youâre really not suited for life in a large family. Your thoughts are too pure. But the battle between Brother Yifei and me... itâs not about family strife. Instead... itâs a duel between the strong. For a strong person, nothing is lonelier than having no rivals, and nothing is more satisfying than a life-and-death battle with a master. These are things you just donât understand."
At this moment, Li Yifei responded with a slight smile, "Young Master Meng, do you really think that only I am worthy to be your opponent?"
"Indeed!" Meng Qianjun replied with authoritative confidence.
"Then Iâm afraid Young Master Meng will be disappointed. Recently I met a master, someone absolutely beyond me."
"Really?" Meng Qianjunâs eyes lit up instantly.
"Indeed. We didnât fight, but just in terms of the will to battle, he already completely defeated me. If we were to truly fight, I certainly wouldnât be his match."
Meng Qianjunâs excitement mounted as he said, "So there are masters like that."
"Of course, Young Master Meng. If we never encountered any opponents before, it only means our experience was insufficient. So it seems youâve been looking in the wrong direction by considering me as your lifetime rival."
Meng Qianjun clenched his fist excitedly, but then he shook his head and said, "Youâre wrong. You still are my lifelong rival. I dare say the master you met must be of considerable age. At our age, they definitely didnât have our strength. Our potential is still enormous; surpassing them is just a matter of time. However, such masters can indeed help us improve faster."
At this moment, Li Yifei still held a fair amount of admiration for Meng Qianjun. This man not only possessed tremendous strength, but his intelligence and way of handling problems were also far above the average person.
"Brother Yifei, do you think weâll have the chance to battle with such a master? Right now, I really want to challenge such a master, even if I am defeated, itâs a risk worth taking."
"Iâm not sure about that. But if there really is a chance for such a battle, I wouldnât mind Young Master Meng stretching your legs too. I certainly donât want to lose my life."
"Ha ha, Brother Yifei, now burdened by family matters, indeed lacks the dominance you once had. Actually, taking away your women might not have been such a bad idea after all."
Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "Letâs forget about that."
"Then I hope, Brother Yifei, that you wonât spend all your energy on your women and still practice your martial arts. Although we havenât fought, I feel that itâs a fifty-fifty chance between us now. Give it another year, and I might have a seventy percent chance of winning."
Li Yifei replied with a casual smile, "Thatâs not necessarily the case."
"I hope so. Anyway, although the Wei Family and the Gu Family havenât made any moves for now, they definitely wonât give up so easily. I hope you wonât be caught off guard by them."
"Arenât you always on the same side as them?"
"They?" Meng Qianjun scoffed dismissively. "A smart brain is indeed important, but only a strong fist is the real deal. Moreover, our brains have always been no weaker than theirs, theyâre simply not worthy of comparison with me."
"Good, I really like this kind of spirit from Young Master Meng."
"Ha!" Meng Qianjun laughed loudly again and then said, "Actually, I find your sister-in-law quite peculiar too. If she were to improve, she might even be able to battle with you and me."
"Young Master Mengâs insight is not bad. If you ever want to kill me, and my sister-in-law and I joined forces, we could definitely take you down."
"Is that so? Pity that although your sister-in-law is not weak, her actual combat ability is still too poor."
Meng Qianjun hit the nail on the head with that comment about Xu Shanshanâs weakness, while Li Yifei just smiled faintly and said, "Indeed, right now I donât want her to become too powerful, otherwise if I have any conflicts with her sister, Iâd have to be wary of this sister-in-law coming after me."
"Ha ha... Women are a disaster indeed!" Meng Qianjun laughed again and then looked at Meng Xiaofei suggestively before turning and striding away with large steps.
