Jiangbei Province City!
Chen Ping had been staying there for six or seven days, and the Qin family hadn't come to seek revenge yet. This made him restless. He couldn't just wait passively forever. Chen Ping's demand for spiritual energy was increasing day by day, so he needed to find resources!
He originally planned to take Bai Zhantang to visit Xuan Yue Valley, but now Qin Feng's matter has delayed him.
That day, Chen Ping was instructing Lin Tianhu and Chi Feng in their training when a guard ran in!
"Mr. Chen, Lord Li of the Protectorate Pavilion requests an audience!"
The guard said to Chen Ping.
"Li Shouyi? What does he want from me?" Chen Ping was taken aback. Since he had refused Li Shouyi's invitation to join the Protectorate Command last time, Li Shouyi hadn't contacted him!
"Come get me in the living room, I'll be there right away!"
Chen Ping finished speaking and looked at Lin Tianhu and Chi Feng, saying: "You two spar with each other. Don't be afraid of getting hurt. Real strength comes from actual combat!"
"Understood!" Lin Tianhu and Chi Feng nodded.
Chen Ping returned to the living room, where Li Shouyi was sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
Seeing Chen Ping had returned, Li Shouyi hurried to his feet: "Mr. Chen, I apologize for the intrusion!"
"Mr. Li, you're too kind. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Chen Ping smiled calmly.
"A big shot wants to meet Mr. Chen and has arranged a meeting at Xi Street Tea House. He hopes Mr. Chen will grace them with his presence..."
Li Shouyi politely said.
Chen Ping was taken aback. The person who could ask Li Shouyi to come over must be someone powerful, and this Li Shouyi said "big shot" in his mouth, it seemed that he was also mingling in the official field like Li Shouyi!
Chen Ping doesn't like dealing with them, and he wouldn't join them either because there are too many restrictions, which would limit Chen Ping's freedom!
"Master Li, I'm so sorry, I have something to attend to right now and can't get away..."
Chen Ping politely declined.
"When will Mr. Chen be available?" Li Shouyi asked, unwilling to give up.
"I haven't had any time lately!" Chen Ping said!

"Haven't you had time recently?" Li Shuyi heard this and immediately understood that Chen Ping was just making an excuse to shirk his responsibility and not meet.
"Mr. Chen, he's a big shot, you could say someone who can control everything..."
Li Shuyi's voice grew heavier as he said!
Chen Ping smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, I don't have time for someone of your stature. If Lord Li has nothing else, I won't keep you!"
"Mr. Chen, this is a big shot from Kyoto! You need to think this through!"
Li Shouyi frowned, his face becoming somewhat unpleasant!
If Chen Ping didn't give himself face, it would be fine, but this was a big shot from Kyoto, someone who couldn't be provoked. Chen Ping actually didn't even give him face!
"Bidding farewell…………..."
Chen Ping also put away his smile and shouted directly!
Li Shouyi actually threatened him?
Chen Ping was most afraid of threats. Even if it was a big shot from Kyoto, so what? Chen Ping didn't want to see him, he wouldn't!
“You…………” Li Shouyi's face flushed red with anger, and in the end, he could only sigh and leave!
Inside Xijie Tea House, a middle-aged man with a square face is savoring his tea meticulously. Behind him stands a young man, tall and straight with short hair, looking very capable!
"Xiao Li, how old are you this year?"
A middle-aged man suddenly spoke.
"To my lord, I am twenty-five years old!"
That young man, with unwavering gaze, spoke in a loud voice.
"Well, he's about the same age as you. Both of you are young and promising. It's good to be young..."
A middle-aged man with a square face showed a hint of envy in his eyes!
Just then, Li Shuyi pushed the door open and walked in, his face still bearing a hint of anger!
Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be slightly taken aback: "Where is everyone?"
"Master Zhao, that...that Chen Ping shirked his duty and didn't come at all!"
Li Shouyi bowed his head, saying with shame.
