A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality and I Become a God

"It's alright. I'm here as a guest of Minister Wu today. There's no way I'd ask Minister Wu to stand up to greet a guest. I'll just sit down."

Li Xukun took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

The fact that Wu Rulong could make him feel threatened meant that there was a quasi-emperor level expert behind him. The Li Dynasty did have quasi-emperor level experts, but the problem was that the quasi-emperor ancestor of the Li Dynasty was the kind whose lifespan was about to run out. If he were to be reborn, he probably wouldn't even be able to go back to his coffin.

Therefore, Li Xukun would absolutely not ask the patriarch for help unless absolutely necessary, and as far as he knew, the other three dynasties were in the same boat.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is a sensible person."

Wu Rulong looked at Li Xukun and spoke slowly with a smile on his face, but no matter how you looked at it, the smile seemed to be mocking.

This was something Chen Ze and the others couldn't stand immediately.

"That's enough! How dare you laugh at His Majesty?"

"You all stay where you are and don't make a move!"

Li Xukun took a deep breath, put on a stern face, and stopped Chen Ze and the others. He was joking; if he were to make a move, Li Xukun was certain that they would be the ones who died.

But Chen Ze and the others had no idea, and their faces were full of disbelief.

However, Li Xukun ignored him and sat down opposite Wu Rulong, putting on a smile again.

"Minister Wu, I am quite curious. How did you manage to build such a large Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce in less than a hundred years? Is there some secret to it, or is there a powerful person behind you helping you?"

Everyone here is a sensible person, so Li Xukun didn't hold back and asked directly.

Wu Rulong sighed, his face filled with melancholy, and said in a desolate tone.

"Sigh, I didn't want this either, but when it comes to business, I originally just planned to play around with it, but I never expected that I would accidentally create such a huge business association. It's really frustrating."

Hearing the Versailles reference in Wu Rulong's tone, Li Xukun's expression froze instantly. Why did Wu Rulong's arrogant expression seem so infuriating?

But Li Xukun still managed to refrain from fighting Wu Rulong, and instead laughed heartily.

"Minister Wu is quite humorous, but it seems to me that you have received help from a benefactor. There are no outsiders present today, so why don't you tell me who is behind you?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Who said there are no outsiders? Aren't you an outsider? Besides, why should I tell you who's behind me?"

Wu Rulong frowned slightly and retorted without holding back.

Upon hearing such disrespectful words, before Li Xukun could even speak, Chen Ze and the others behind him couldn't hold back any longer. After all, in their hearts, Li Xukun had always been a supreme being, so how could they allow Wu Rulong to insult him like this?

"How dare you speak such words to His Majesty! I think you've already chosen your death. Die!"

The hot-tempered Chen Ze immediately charged at Wu Rulong in a rage, but at the very moment he made his move, Li Xukun struck him in the abdomen with a palm strike, causing him to immediately kneel on the ground.

"How dare you! I haven't even given the order yet, who gave you permission to make a move?"

Chen Ze's face was full of surprise, clearly not expecting Li Xukun to actually attack him.

You must know that you acted for His Majesty's sake, so how could His Majesty possibly lay a hand on you?

However, Li Xukun was in a situation where he couldn't speak out. After all, only he could feel the faint threat emanating from Wu Rulong, and if he spoke out, he couldn't be sure whether Wu Rulong would take action.

"Hmph, consider this slap a lesson to you. Next time, don't act recklessly without my orders!"

Li Xukun snorted coldly, then ignored Chen Ze behind him and turned to look at Wu Rulong, his previous smile returning to his face.

"Minister Wu, please excuse my poor appearance."

"Haha, you flatter me. After all, we need to manage our subordinates well now. They have to admit their mistakes and stand up straight when they get punished. If our subordinates are all running amok, what's the point of having us in charge?"

Wu Rulong laughed along, making no attempt to hide the mockery in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Xukun was a little angry, but he could only laugh along.

Just as Li Xukun was about to ask a question, Wu Rulong finally spoke up.

"Your Majesty, some time ago a scoundrel came to me and said that you ordered me to be killed, but I killed him. I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this? After all, I am worried that someone might use Your Majesty's name to slander you."

Upon hearing Wu Rulong suddenly bring up this matter, Li Xukun's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly recovered and his face was filled with anger.

"What? Someone actually dares to lay a hand on Minister Wu? And in my name no less? They really have a lot of nerve! This is blatant slander, an absolute and naked slander! If I find out who is slandering me, I will make sure they suffer a terrible death!"

Li Xukun thought that Wu Rulong only brought this up to intimidate him, but he didn't expect that Wu Rulong would snort coldly the next second.

"Li Xukun, stop pretending. Everyone knows what you did. If you're a man, then admit it, and I'll respect you as a real man."

Upon hearing this, Li Xukun lowered his head for a moment, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of calm as he spoke softly.

"It seems that Minister Wu has his own opinion. In that case, I don't need to say anything more. Do as you please."

The most urgent thing is to leave this place first. Li Xukun could sense that Wu Rulong was prepared to turn against him when he said this, and even had the confidence to survive or even fight back against the four supreme beings.

In that case, no matter what happens, the most important thing is to get out of here first.

If Wu Rulong pursues us after we return to the Li Dynasty, then we will have no choice but to ask the Quasi-Emperor Ancestor to kill Wu Rulong.

"Hmph, from this day forward, the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce will launch a full-scale attack on the Li Dynasty's industries! It's a fight to the death!"

After Wu Rulong finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave, but then he remembered something and looked at Chen Ze and the others with a cold smile.

"Is it prestigious to be a Supreme Being under the patronage of a ruler like this? Is it prestigious to be carried by nine dragons?"

Hearing this, Chen Ze and the others dared not speak out in anger, but Wu Rulong did not give up. He looked at Li Xukun and sneered.

"Eat shit!"
