Chapter 1217: Chapter 1265: RuinsToday, Park Sung-ho from Noahâs Ark came to visit Li Yifei once again. This time he came alone, looking relaxed and completely unguarded, which showed his great confidence in the partnership with Li Yifei, as he was not at all afraid of what Li Yifei might do to him.
Li Yifei indeed had no intention to harm Park Sung-ho at the moment. Even though Park Sung-ho held a high position, dealing with him wouldnât solve anything and might even alert the enemy, resulting in more loss than gain.
"Brother Park, what brings you here today?" Li Yifei greeted him enthusiastically, first giving Park Sung-ho a hearty hug, then pulling him to sit down together on the sofa.
"Chairman Li, Iâm here, of course, to bring you some good news," he said.
"Youâre too polite, Brother Park. You are older than me; it would be better if you just called me by my name," Li Yifei said.
"Alright, then Iâll call you Brother Li," Park Sung-ho laughed heartily.
"Want one?" Li Yifei offered Park Sung-ho a cigarette.
Park Sung-ho took it and, looking at the cigarette, said, "This must be the finest cigarette from Huaxia, right? Although I donât usually smoke, I should still give it a try."
Both lit their cigarettes and began to puff away, appearing to outsiders like old friends reunited after a long time.
After blowing a ring of smoke, Li Yifei said with a smile, "Brother Park, you just said you have more good news for me, can you tell me now?"
Park Sung-ho nodded and said, "Itâs like this, we have discovered a very ancient ruin in Mount Kunlun, where there is an extremely special Stone Door that we havenât been able to open despite trying every method."
Li Yifei looked at Park Sung-ho in surprise and said, "Mount Kunlun is our Huaxiaâs territory, and we Huaxia People donât even know about these ruins, but you found them?"
Park Sung-ho smiled proudly and said, "Brother Li, you guys in Huaxia are too busy with economic development to pay attention to these kinds of things. Even if there are existing ancient ruins, many have been demolished by you."
Li Yifei felt somewhat at a loss for words after what Park Sung-ho said, as some local leaders indeed would dare to do anything for their lousy political achievements, resulting in countless destruction of valuable artifacts.
"As for how we found this place, Brother Li, you donât need to ask too much. Our organization is so powerful that thereâs nothing we canât do well. Letâs continue discussing the ruins."
"Sure, please go on," Li Yifei was now intrigued. Previously, he hadnât cared much about such relics, but since Xu Shanshan fell into those ruins and turned from an ordinary person into a strong person with Innate Vital Energy, Li Yifei had started to take these matters seriously.
"Later, our organizationâs supreme experts came over and after a thorough study for a long time, concluded that to open these ruins, we must find two people with Innate True Qi."
After saying this, Park Sung-ho looked towards Li Yifei.
Li Yifei narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Park, are you assuming that there are Innate Experts here with me?"
Park Sung-ho smiled slightly and said, "Brother Li, your sister-in-law transformed from an ordinary person into a master overnight; if not for the Innate True Qi, that would be impossible."
Li Yifei shook his head and said, "You know too much about my situation, which makes me always feel a bit uneasy."
Park Sung-ho extinguished his cigarette and said, "Brother Li, you donât need to worry, our organization is always sincere with our partners and would not go against them, so as long as you cooperate sincerely with our organization, we are willing to see your strength grow stronger."
"That sounds very appealing indeed. By the way, what benefits can we get from that ruin?"
"We donât know the exact benefits, but since such a marvelous mechanism has been set up, the person who created it must have been extraordinary, and therefore the items inside must be extraordinary as well. As long as you, Brother Li, can help us open these ruins, we will make sure you get a fair share of whatever is inside."
Li Yifei narrowed his eyes and said, "Isnât this a bit vague?"
Park Sung-ho looked straight at Li Yifei, his eyes burning with intensity. Then he suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Li is indeed astute. Letâs agree on this then: after opening the ruins, weâll split the treasures inside, with our organization taking seventy percent since we have already spent a lot of manpower and resources on this ruin."
Li Yifei propped up his crossed legs and said, "Brother Park, even though youâve spent a lot of manpower and resources, without a real Innate Expert, you still canât open it, right? Besides, this thing ultimately belongs to Huaxia. If I let you take it away, youâd be making a profit. You should know that if I release this information, you wonât get a thing."
Park Sung-ho smiled faintly and replied, "Brother Li, you wouldnât do that. Even if you spread the news, whether you can actually find that place is another matter. Iâm not boasting, but even if you find it, without our guidance, you canât even get through the last door. This is because we have an ancient map, and only by following its directions can one truly enter."
"Oh? So this sounds like the legendary Formation Method?"
"Exactly, itâs the Formation Method. We used to think that the concept of Formation Method was just a myth, but this relic has proven that Formation Methods truly exist. Theyâre incredibly ingeniously designed; modern instruments are of no use at all. The worldâs most advanced locating equipment becomes mere decoration there."
Li Yifei did not think that Park Sung-ho was exaggerating. The more he understood about martial arts, the more he believed that there were many things in the world science couldnât explain. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated; what they could achieve, current technology could not replicate.
"Alright then, since you say so, letâs do a sixty-forty split. I have to get forty percent for it to be worth it. Less than that, and Iâd rather not bother helping you all. You should be clear that I, Li Yifei, although very self-interested, am still patriotic. Letting you take away something that belongs to Huaxia doesnât sit right with me."
Park Sung-ho stared at Li Yifei, then finally nodded and said, "Good! Then letâs agree on that."
"When do we leave?" Li Yifei was also straightforward.
"We leave in ten days. You have these ten days to prepare. Pleasant cooperation." Saying so, Park Sung-ho extended his hand.
Li Yifei also reached out his hand and shook Park Sung-hoâs firmly, then both men laughed together.
With the deal done, both Li Yifei and Park Sung-ho relaxed. Park Sung-ho narrowed his eyes and said in a teasing tone, "Brother Li, howâs the girl I sent you last time?"
Li Yifei chuckled dryly, "To be honest, the ideology that your Noahâs Ark has instilled in that girl is too strong. I canât have a few words with her without her trying to persuade me to join Noahâs Ark, which makes me quite uncomfortable, so now Iâve sent her to stay outside and havenât bothered with her."
Park Sung-ho smiled slightly, "Actually, joining Noahâs Ark wouldnât be bad for you. Our organization would definitely make good use of you, and your achievements and status in the world would be incomparable to now."
Li Yifei shook his head, "Brother Park, to be frank, working together with you all, Iâve always been wary, let alone joining your organization now."
Park Sung-ho chuckled, "Thatâs true. Our cooperation is just beginning, and you truly donât know enough about our organization. Just like youâre not fully trusting of us, weâre also not completely trusting of you. We still need time to adapt to each other."
Li Yifei nodded, "Itâs best for Brother Park to think this way."
Park Sung-ho pondered for a moment, then said, "Such a girl is not easily cultivated in our organization. Itâs really a pity to just cast her aside, Brother Li. She can bring a man tremendous pleasure in every respect, definitely not something your women at home can match. So I still suggest that Brother Yifei shouldnât waste her."
After a pause, Park Sung-ho continued, "Brother Li, through this period, you should know that we havenât contacted her again. Since weâve given her to you, sheâs absolutely yours now. Sheâs no longer part of our organization. If Brother Li finds this unsatisfactory, we can send you a few more. Although these girls are also very precious in our organization, Brother Li has always been highly valued by us, and our organization would spare no cost."
Li Yifei pinched his nose, "Brother Park, although I admit Iâm a man who likes beauty, having someone by my side who I donât fully trust still makes me quite uneasy."
"Ha... I understand, but as I said, such a woman would not hesitate to die if you asked her to. Whatâs there not to be confident about?"
"Brother Park, stop tempting me."
"This isnât temptation. As long as you like, we can get you all kinds of beautiful women from around the world. I see that all your women at home are pure Huaxia beauties. Adding some from Europe and America, Africa, can change things up a bit, bring different flavors."
Li Yifeiâs eyes lit up, then he chuckled, "Letâs forget it. If thereâs a chance in the future, Iâd rather get them myself. Although I, Li Yifei, am lecherous, I donât like to force a womanâs will."
"Brother Li really is a model for our contemporaries, indulging in pleasure without chaos. Then I wonât insist further. Iâll see you in ten days."
After Park Sung-ho left, Li Yifeiâs brows furrowed. With that girl he was sent, Park Sung-hoâs constant encouraging must be hiding something fishy.
