Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

The guests below, upon hearing these words, felt differently in their hearts.

The Ren Family, with its vast business and wealth, now chooses to submit before one man.

But did he have a better choice?

The complex looks in the eyes of the guests revealed they didn't know what to feel.

They had thought that owning a fortune of over a billion made them stand at the pinnacle of the world's pyramid, where the rules could no longer bind them. Some more ambitious even dreamt of having a hand in the making of these rules.

Now it seemed that no matter how much money they had, they could only rise above the common folk.

In this world, the real power-holders are the Cultivators.

These Cultivators with strength beyond ordinary people, with unimaginable energy, are the true masters of this world.

"Mr. Li, today, you can take my life without resentment from my side. But this is a consequence of my personal disrespect towards you, I only hope Mr. Li will not let my actions implicate the Ren Family."

Li Xiaoyao spoke lightly with his hands behind his back, "If nobody offends me, I do not offend anybody. This matter involves only you and me, no one else; naturally, I won't hold a grudge."

The old Mr. Ren nodded, relieved in his heart, and turned to look at the Ren Family members.

"Eldest brother, after I die, you must manage the Ren Family well. Every year, you need to set aside ten percent of its wealth for charity. Remember this commandment. Lawyer Wen, please make sure to include everything I say now in the will."

"Dad!" The Ren Family's eldest son said angrily, his chest heaving, and the other members of the Ren Family were also angry but helpless.

How could mere mortals possibly contend with Li Xiaoyao?

If even old Mr. Ren chose to sacrifice his life for the safety of the Ren Family, who else could have another way?

"Don't talk, I don't have much time left; let me finish." The old Mr. Ren interrupted him and continued, "Second brother, I know you do not have a passion for business, and I won't force you, but I hope that in times of crisis for our family, you can set aside your personal preferences and help the family."

"Third brother..."

The old Mr. Ren instructed each in turn, Li Xiaoyao not showing any irritation, even less so any sympathy for the old man's attempt at appearing pitiable.

The pitiable often have despicable aspects; such an old hand at trickery could only deceive those naive country dogs. Li Xiaoyao's heart was as hard as iron, impervious to his influence.

After old Mr. Ren finished his instructions and saw Li Xiaoyao still silent, the last sliver of hope in his heart dissipated; he knew that no matter how pitiable he acted, he would not be spared.

If that's the case, then he might as well die with some dignity.

"Mr. Li, go ahead." Old Mr. Ren put his hands behind his back, slowly closed his eyes, his voice filled with acceptance of death.

Just as Li Xiaoyao was about to take action, suddenly a Ren Family member stood up, roaring, "Mr. Li, what exactly do you want from the Ren Family to let us go?"

"I am willing to give all the wealth of the Ren Family to you, only asking that Mr. Li spares my father."

"Mr. Li..."

Not just the Ren Family members, but even some of the guests who had come to extend their congratulations began to stand up and plea for old Mr. Ren.

Li Xiaoyao's eyebrows knitted together, and he let out a light snort.

"Hmph!"

This snort, like a thunderclap, resounded through the entire banquet hall, causing everyone's faces to turn slightly pale, their heads dizzy.

Li Xiaoyao turned his head, his cool gaze sweeping over everyone's faces. Those who met his eyes could not help but bow their heads and tremble.

"His life is mine to take. Who dares to stop me?" As soon as he said this, even the Ren Family members dared not speak.

Li Xiaoyao sneered at them. They really were a bunch of creatures timid as mice.

He lifted his hand and beckoned gently toward Old Master Ren; the Old Master's eyes on the stage suddenly lost their sparkle, and his body slowly fell backward.

The Ren family members below rushed up the stage to support him.

More and more Ren family members ran onto the stage, their wails of grief relentless to the ear; a birthday banquet turned into a funeral.

Li Xiaoyao had left at some point, unnoticed, but once the sharp-eyed members of the Ren family saw that Li Xiaoyao had gone, they began to speak out recklessly.

"He killed Grandfather, our Ren family will never cease until he is dead!"

The one thing young people never lack is passion, and soon, more and more young members of the Ren family made bombastic statements, swearing vengeance on Li Xiaoyao.

Eldest of the Ren family raised his hand and slapped the young man, his eyes red with rage as he cursed, "Shut your mouth, do you want the Ren family to disappear from Zhu Island City?"

Only then did the youths remember that the man they saw as their enemy was also a figure they could never hope to match.

There were God knows how many mountains between him and their world, and several generations' efforts might not be enough to cross them.

Ren Li didn't know exactly how he felt, but of one thing he was certain, he had been isolated by the Ren family.

Almost everyone knew that it was Ren Li who had brought Li Xiaoyao back. As a result, the Ren family members, from the top echelons to the ordinary clanspeople, directed all their rage at Ren Li.

The death of Old Master Ren grieved Ren Li as well, but this grief was quickly replaced by anger from being isolated.

Under this surge of anger, he returned to the villa only to find that Li Xiaoyao had come back too.

Li Xiaoyao was sitting on the bed as if nothing had happened, cultivating.

Sensing someone entering, Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes to see Ren Li with red eyes and said, "If my killing your grandfather has made you angry, I apologize. But if it were to happen again, I would still kill him."

After speaking, Li Xiaoyao stood up and walked toward the door, adding as he left, "Thank you for the hospitality these past two days."

"Li Xiaoyao!" Ren Li called out to him, Li Xiaoyao turned his head, asking, "What is it?"

Ren Li's eyes were determined, no longer filled with the fear he previously had towards such an important figure, and he said, "I want to be an important figure like you, can you teach me?"

Li Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised, but soon smiled. He had thought Ren Li hated him, but it seemed that was not the case.

With Li Xiaoyao's quick wits, it wasn't hard to guess why Ren Li was making such a request.

"If you want to learn, I will teach you." Li Xiaoyao was not stingy; he had taken a liking to Ren Li and had a good impression of the young man, so teaching him to cultivate was not out of the question.

Ren Li probably didn't expect Li Xiaoyao to agree so readily, stunned for a few seconds, then ecstatically said, "Really?"

"Hmm," Li Xiaoyao nodded and continued, "Cultivation is not as simple as you think, to become a true person, one must endure the utmost hardships."

"Cultivation is bitter, tiring, and tedious, you might work hard for many years only to end up empty-handed in the end. Now, do you still want to cultivate?"

Ren Li didn't waver at Li Xiaoyao's words, instead, he responded without hesitation, "I want to cultivate!"

Li Xiaoyao walked up to him, saying, "Close your eyes, think of nothing."

Ren Li did as he was told, and Li Xiaoyao extended a finger to gently tap his forehead, a torrent of information instantly flooding into Ren Li's mind.

Ren Li felt his head swell with a slight pain.

"This is the way of cultivation, as your Cultivation Level breaks through to a new realm, the techniques for the next Realm will automatically reveal themselves."

"How far you can go depends entirely on your own talent and effort."
