Chapter 134: Chapter 130: The Top Ten Parliament Members of the Bright Council Chapter 134: Chapter 130: The Top Ten Parliament Members of the Bright Council “With your level, you have no right to question me!”

The man in sunglasses rebuffed Li Youqing and Principal Leng Quanliang, leaving them speechless.

“I’ll just ask you one thing, do you have to make things difficult for Immortal Li today?”

Facing the aggressive questioning of the man in sunglasses, Li Youqing was struggling to maintain his composure, but he still managed to respond indifferently:

“You talk big, alright, I’ll give you this much face. You want me to answer your question, fine, but you also have to answer mine! Who exactly are you?”

With a loud slap, the man in sunglasses fiercely smacked the table and questioned again:

“I’m asking you one last time, do you have to make things difficult for Immortal Li today?”

“Hahaha! You dare not even reveal your identity, and you have no identification—playing mysterious games!”

After probing, Li Youqing became steadier by the moment, leaning back in his chair and displaying authority as he sternly said:

“Principal Leng, call the police for me; someone’s trying to attack the governor!”

“Yes!”

When Principal Leng Quanliang immediately took out his phone to call the police, the man in sunglasses walked straight up to him, snatched the phone away, and crushed it with his palm. The act demonstrated his terrifying strength, scaring Principal Leng Quanliang into curling up, looking at Li Youqing with innocent eyes.

“Who are you, some kind of thug? Are you trying to murder someone? Do you not know I am Li Youqing, the Governor of Qingzhou? If you dare touch me today, get ready to go to prison!”

Seeing the man’s arrogant attitude and ruthless methods, Li Youqing, despite being the governor, could not help feeling afraid, quickly standing up in an attempt to intimidate.

“I know you’re Li Youqing!”

The man in sunglasses returned to Li Youqing’s opposite side and said coldly:

“And I’ve got your answer; it seems you’ve made up your mind to trouble Immortal Li today!”

Li Youqing, trying to maintain his authority, looked around at everyone and threatened:

“Li Ping’an has been promoting feudal superstition and spreading a cult in the school, and he’s also involved in a murder case. As the governor, it’s only natural for me to administer justice, to clear the deceased’s name, and as for you—if you dare touch me before the police arrive, you, all of you will be accomplices!”

“Stubborn fool, I gave you a chance and you didn’t take it. Fine then, let’s handle this my way!”

The man in sunglasses first took out an ID book and threw it in front of Li Youqing. Then, he took out his phone, preparing to make a call.

Li Youqing, looking at the man’s gold-covered ID, had a foreboding feeling. He quickly picked it up and looked, screeching at the top of his voice:

“You… You’re one of the Bright Council’s top ten council members?”

After his outburst, Li Youqing stared at the man in sunglasses, swallowing hard in fear, as the ID slipped from his trembling hands.

“What? One of the Bright Council’s top ten council members?”

Whether it was Li Tianyi, who was lying on the ground screaming, Principal Leng Quanliang, who had curled up into a ball, or Yuan Furong, Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Sheng who heard the revelation, they were all stunned.

You should know, the Bright Council is the highest governing body of the Yan Kingdom. There are only ten seats for Bright Council council members, who not only can be elected as the Council President but also have authority second only to one, above tens of thousands.

Even someone like Li Youqing, the Governor of Qingzhou, would have to struggle for many years in the House of Representatives of the Bright Council, without any guarantee of qualifying to become one of the top ten council members.

That such a powerful and influential person would appear here for Li Ping’an, and show him such respect—everyone was dumbfounded, especially Governor Li Youqing.

He vividly remembered his son personally telling him that Li Ping’an was just a poor student without any background, an orphan with no official connections. How could he suddenly have a backer from the ten members of the Bright Council?

Now, it was too late for regrets. He cursed his son for insisting on using his own status to bring about Li Ping’an’s downfall. Now, having offended one of the ten members of the Bright Council, it meant that there would be no possibility of promotion—on the contrary, he would likely be demoted by the Bright Council!

No one had expected the situation so disadvantageous to Li Ping’an to suddenly reverse. Governor Li Youqing, who once had the privilege to forgive Li Ping’an, could only humbly beg for Li Ping’an’s forgiveness now, immediately looking at the man with sunglasses and Li Ping’an with a sycophantic smile and said,

“Is there some misunderstanding here? Let’s not be hasty. If we sit down and talk this over, we might be able to clear it up. Don’t you think so?”

The man with sunglasses did not respond and continued with the call,

“Council President, Governor Li Youqing of Qingzhou is bent on making things difficult for Immortal Li!”

From the other end of the phone came a woman’s stern voice,

“Seeking death!”

After that sharp rebuke, she hung up the call. That single “Seeking death!” terrified Li Youqing into frantically apologizing to the man with sunglasses and Li Ping’an, but neither of them was moved.

Furong, utterly shocked, whispered into Li Ping’an’s ear,

“Honey, since when did you know a member of the Bright Council?”

“Exactly, you should have told us earlier. We could have been putting on airs too.”

Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Sheng also asked in low voices.

Li Ping’an had anticipated from the outset that this man’s identity was no simple matter; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to be so bold towards Li Youqing. However, he had not expected the man to be a member of the Bright Council, and moreover, to show him such utmost respect. There had to be some trickery at play.

“Big brothers and sisters, I don’t know him either!”

“Sure, keep pretending!”

Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, Sha Sheng, and the others naturally didn’t believe it. They had all seen crystal clear, had all heard loud and clear—a member of the Bright Council showing more respect to Li Ping’an than to the Council President. Just how impressive must Li Ping’an be.

Furong’s face brightened with a smile as she clung tighter to Li Ping’an’s arm, thinking about how if she shared this news with her father Yuan Qingfeng, their Yuan Family would truly be connected to a force high above. Her father would be overjoyed, even more so in favor of her marriage to Li Ping’an.

Woman, after all, one can understand, none can escape the word vanity.

Li Youqing kept up his smiley face and explanations, but the man with sunglasses said not a word. After a short while, the phone that the man with sunglasses had taken from Li Youqing rang. He immediately handed Li Youqing back his phone and commanded coldly,

“Answer the call! Quickly!”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Li Youqing swallowed nervously, his heart pounding as he answered the call,

“Hello, yes, this is Governor Li Youqing of Qingzhou…”

“What? For abusing my power, you’re stripping me of my position? Where to? To Xiao Family’s Valley as a village chief? This…”

In shock and terror, Li Youqing ended the call and slumped into his chair like a dead man, one second the illustrious Governor of Qingzhou, the next a village chief in an impoverished village.
