Chapter 126: Strange Express, Shadow Pavilion Master
Strange Express, Shadow Pavilion Master
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, scattering patches of light onto Li Qiankun's face, waking him from his deep sleep. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and was about to get up when he was interrupted by a hurried doorbell.
"Who could it be so early?" Li Qiankun wondered, and he stood up, put on his clothes, and walked towards the door. Through the peephole, he saw a young man in a courier uniform standing at the door, holding a package in his hand.
"Strange, I haven't bought anything recently." Li Qiankun muttered, but still opened the door. The delivery boy handed over the package with a smile and said, "Your delivery, please sign for it."
Li Qiankun took the package and looked at the information on it, but found that he had no memory of buying such a thing. There was no sender information on the express delivery slip, which made him even more confused.
"Whose express is this? Why doesn't it even have a sender?" Li Qiankun couldn't help but ask the delivery guy.
The delivery guy shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I'm just a courier. Since the address and name are correct, please sign for it."
Li Qiankun signed reluctantly and closed the door, holding the mysterious package in his hand, his heart full of doubts. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to open the package to see what was inside.
He carefully tore open the package when suddenly a blinding white light flashed, nearly piercing his retina. Li Qiankun lost consciousness as his vision went dark.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a white space, with nothing around him but endless white. He stood up and looked around, feeling slightly uneasy.
"Where is this? Why am I here?" Li Qiankun said to himself.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, very similar to the one he heard last night. Li Qiankun's heart tightened, and he started cursing, "Can you please speak properly? That voice sounds terrible!"
The voice didn't seem to care about his insults and continued, "Li Qiankun, don't be nervous. You are now in a space similar to a barrier. I was the one who pulled you in."
Li Qiankun was startled and quickly called out to the system in his mind: "System, what's going on? How did I suddenly appear here?"
The system quickly responded, "Master, your consciousness has indeed been pulled into a space similar to a barrier. But don't worry, this barrier poses no threat to you."
Hearing the system's answer, Li Qiankun felt a little relieved. However, he still looked around cautiously, trying to find the source of the sound.
Just then, a figure emerged from the white mist. It was a man about his age, dressed in a black suit, with a stern expression on his face. Li Qiankun recognized him immediately—the Shadow Pavilion Master.
"Master of Shadow Pavilion? Why are you here?" Li Qiankun asked in surprise.
Jiang Chenyu looked at Li Qiankun, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He seemed to have not expected that Li Qiankun could recognize him at a glance.
"You are very smart, Li Qiankun. I didn't expect you could recognize me." Jiang Chenyu sneered.
Li Qiankun ignored his sneer and asked directly, "Why did you bring me into this space? What's your purpose?"
Jiang Chenyu smiled slightly and said, "I want to cooperate with you. I know you have the ability to refine the divine machine, and I would like to ask you to help me make a self-cultivation furnace."
Li Qiankun's face changed when he heard this. He hadn't expected Jiang Chenyu to know his secret. But he quickly calmed down, shook his head and said, "Impossible. I won't help you build a self-cultivation furnace. Besides, I don't know any magic machine. You've got the wrong person."
Jiang Chenyu looked at Li Qiankun, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He sneered and said, "You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Li Qiankun, you'd better think about it carefully. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."
Li Qiankun was not afraid of Jiang Chenyu's threats. He straightened his back and said, "Jiang Chenyu, what are you threatening me with? Forget it."
Jiang Chenyu looked at Li Qiankun's determined eyes and knew that his attempt to win him over had failed. He sighed helplessly and said, "Well, since you're so ungrateful, there's nothing I can do. But you have to remember, Li Qiankun, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world. There are only eternal interests. You'd better be careful."
After saying this, Jiang Chenyu disappeared into the white mist. Li Qiankun stood there, his heart filled with vigilance and uneasiness. He knew that this matter would not end so easily.
After a while, Li Qiankun felt dizzy and his vision began to blur. When he woke up again, he found himself back in reality, still holding the mysterious package in his hand.
He looked around, confirming that he had indeed returned home. He breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thankful to have returned safely this time. But he also knew that this was only a temporary peace. Jiang Chenyu would not give up easily.
Li Qiankun sat on the sofa and began to think about Jiang Chenyu. He knew that Jiang Chenyu's ability was strange and powerful, and he had to be careful in dealing with it. He decided to first investigate Jiang Chenyu's background and purpose to see what he was really up to.
"This guy is really strange. Why would he want to cooperate with me to build a self-cultivation furnace?" Li Qiankun muttered to himself, "And he also knows that I have the ability of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. This matter must be very complicated."
Li Qiankun decided to contact the system first to see if it could provide some useful information. He closed his eyes and called out to the system in his mind: "System, do you know about Jiang Chenyu? Why did he want to cooperate with me to build a self-cultivation furnace?"
The system was silent for a moment, then replied, "Master, I don't know much about Jiang Chenyu. However, the Dao Cultivation Furnace is a very powerful magical tool that can help people cultivate and improve their strength. Jiang Chenyu wants to cooperate with you to make the furnace, perhaps because he wants to improve his own strength or gain more benefits for the Shadow Pavilion."
Hearing the system's response, Li Qiankun nodded. He already had a preliminary plan in mind. He decided to secretly investigate Jiang Chenyu's movements and intentions before making any plans.
Li Qiankun himself did not expect that the leader of the Shadow Pavilion would come to him in person today, and the most important thing was that he would use this method.
"Is this a power that only Under One Person has?? I've obviously never seen it before! Is it because I didn't read the comics later???"
Li Qiankun thought about it over and over again but still couldn't figure it out. It was so curious!
"System!! Find me the Under One Person comics!! I want to redeem them! I want to see what happens next!"
Seeing that Li Qiankun was going crazy, the system simply ignored his request.
Seeing that the system ignored him for a long time, Li Qiankun stopped.
Sitting on the sofa, I began to think about Jiang Chenyu's true purpose.
