Heisha was stunned at that moment, those five words struck his mind like a thunderbolt.
“Li Shaoxia, I’m really sorry for the trouble!”
Li Rui could only let out a light "hmph" and ignored the Dwarves chief. Wasn't he quite smug at first? After arriving, he waved his hand, showing off his arrogance to the fullest!
If it weren't for the latter's impressive abilities, wouldn't this guy be acting all high and mighty? He even gave Li Rui this kind of face, truly...
“Do you really think no one will fight...”
“Shut up!” Li Rui frowned slightly, just as he was about to make a move, Little did they know someone spoke up.
The Dwarves chief appeared very obsequious; perhaps he sensed a threat from the black flames just now. Otherwise, how could a chief act this way towards a “nameless pawn”? The scene was somewhat comical!
Ruo Xin didn’t say much but kept her eyes on Heisha. For some reason, the latter felt that she seemed poised to do something, an ominous premonition washed over him. Although she hid her intentions well, she couldn't escape the latter's keen sixth sense.
“Alright, alright, let’s not speak in such hurtful terms. Li Shaoxia, what brings you to my humble abode?” The Dwarves chief lowered his tone significantly, showing no trace of his authority as a chief!
“I’m just passing by; there’s no need for you to worry, Chief.” Li Rui replied with a calm smile.
During this time, what Li Rui thought was entirely different from what the Dwarves chief was contemplating. The chief wondered if there would be any trouble with the latter, sensing that this guy seemed quite adept at stirring up trouble.
“Since you’re here, why not stay a bit longer? We should uphold the principle of ‘friends coming from afar,’ right?”
Li Rui smiled again; this old fox seemed to have some depth! His tone suggested he wanted to host some kind of banquet, and it was unclear whether he should get involved in this murky water!
Since the latter was already here, he thought about making things interesting and wanted to see what kind of face the chief would put on. This situation didn’t seem dangerous; it just had a certain...
“Ah Rui! Really…”
Li Rui nodded slightly. What harm could come from going? Right now, the latter was immune to all poisons; perhaps he could find something useful among their clan!
Moreover, that incredible strength couldn’t have been innate! As far as the latter knew, the abilities of the Dwarves shouldn’t be underestimated! What puzzled him even more was how exactly this Heisha came to be? His height and facial features were completely different... How could he possibly be his grandson? It truly left him baffled.
“Li Shaoxia! Please!” It was none other than Heisha who spoke up.
Li Rui did not say much, merely glancing at him calmly before grabbing Ruo Xin's hand and directly following the Dwarves' chief, who did not put on an air of superiority but instead appeared respectful. It seemed to be a recognition of strength!
In this world, strength truly ranked first! The black flames just unleashed, although fewer in number than the Azure Tiger of the "Li You Controlling Fire Technique," were much more powerful and could not be extinguished!
Throughout the journey, both parties were respectful, and Li Rui's attitude towards the Dwarves' chief had changed significantly. Here, perhaps the measure of attitude was...
"Young Hero Li, please take a seat!"
Li Rui nodded slightly and then sat down on the ground. However, he did not notice that the Dwarves were still formidable warriors. Although their physiques were somewhat smaller, the strength they exhibited was beyond what he could have imagined.
It was unclear whether the Dwarves' chief did this intentionally or not, but at the moment when a group of warriors raised their cups, a powerful energy filled the entire room.
"Chief, you really have many talented individuals here; it feels somewhat oppressive!" The Dwarves' chief showed little change in expression and maintained a respectful demeanor as Li Rui couldn't help but laugh at this remark.
Li Rui's words seemed to be self-deprecating among everyone present, but the Dwarves' chief understood that this was a play of wits! At that moment, he found himself in a dilemma, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
"Ah Rui, Heisha is missing; he was just here. It's truly strange."
Li Rui frowned slightly, never having considered such a situation. At the same time, he tightened his brows, wondering where he could have gone. If he were to be locked up by the chief at this time, it would be nonexistent!
He was still plotting some conspiracy for today's "banquet."
"Calm down; take that thing I gave you earlier while eating, understand?" Li Rui said.
Ruo Xin furrowed her brows, wondering when Li Rui had become so...
In the following time, it seemed nothing happened to Ruo Xin. Li Rui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; perhaps he was overthinking!
"Young Hero Li, I toast to you with this cup. We truly are strangers who became acquainted through conflict! I never expected you to possess such strength at such a young age; it makes me feel inadequate!" Suddenly, Heisha appeared in front of Li Rui, causing him to feel suspicious!
Li Rui frowned slightly; there was indeed such a maneuver. What was the other party's purpose? What did they intend to convey? It was truly...
The latter said nothing but raised his cup and drank it all in one go!
"Li Shao Xia, what happened before was truly my fault. I sincerely apologize to you once again."
This...
Li Rui did not feel anything unusual, but Ruo Xin noticed a hint of something in his eyes, a detail that was vividly apparent.
When Heisha raised his glass for a toast, he intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Li Rui's glass, each time deliberately pouring the wine from his own glass into the latter's.
The latter's behavior was so theatrical that he could easily be mistaken for an actor...
How could Li Rui not sense something was off? He had taken some measures earlier, and feeling this way, he couldn't help but clutch his stomach, pretending to be particularly unwell, and rushed into the restroom.
It seemed that Heisha noticed this situation; he couldn't help but grin, as if there was something he could do.
Ruo Xin remained in her seat. Just moments ago, Li Rui had communicated to her not to act rashly. She understood the gravity of the situation and wanted to see what tricks they were up to.
Suddenly! The leader of the Dwarves leaned closer to Ruo Xin, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. For some reason, the latter's actions seemed coincidental yet...
