The smile on Li Sijia’s face disappeared. She said coldly, “Ning Shi, you’re still young and don’t have any management experience. You don’t understand the difficulty of an organization’s survival and continuation.
“As the saying goes, too hard is easy to break. One should never offend both sides. The Celestial Sect is already in a very difficult situation in the Norse Republic. If they offend New Star City, they will be finished.
“People have to know how to leave a path of retreat for themselves, and so do organizations.
“Everyone present, you have to consider this carefully. The sharpness of a genius might make the Celestial Sect stronger, but it’s even more likely to make the Celestial Sect perish!
“Are you sure you want to condone Ning Shi’s wanton behavior?”
As soon as Li Sijia’s threatening words came out, the lively atmosphere at the main table froze and the scene instantly became quiet.
Old Li finally noticed that his daughter seemed to have some conflict with his disciple.
He quickly stepped forward to make peace. “Xiao Ning, Sijia, we are all family. If there’s anything, talk calmly. Don’t be angry!”
Li Sijia was unmoved by her father’s persuasion. She continued to stare at Ning Shi with her sharp eyes.
It was as if she wanted to use her aura to suppress Ning Shi and make him yield.
As a woman, Li Sijia was able to sit in the position of the City Lord of New Star City. She relied on her courage to fight and her heroic style to gather a group of supporters.
Unlike the Norse Republic, the radioactive people lived in the wild all year round and experienced more battles than the citizens of the Norse Republic.
Everyone in the radiation race could use radiation elements to fight, and their individual combat strength was much stronger than the citizens of the Norse Republic.
Therefore, in terms of social structure and style, radioactive people were like immune people. They respected strongmen’s politics and liked strong people who did not go back on their words.
In this political environment, Li Sijia had long developed a domineering and oppressive character. Moreover, she did not treat Ning Shi as a mature opponent. She still thought that he was an inexperienced young man.
She tried to use her words and aura to suppress Ning Shi and kept sowing discord between Ning Shi and the higher-ups of the Celestial Sect.
However, all of this was destined to be useless. As long as Wang Yuanyi, the head of the Hermit Pavilion, supported Ning Shi unwaveringly, the Celestial Sect would not be able to stir up any trouble.
Facing Li Sijia’s fierce gaze, Ning Shi smiled calmly. He first comforted Old Li, “Don’t worry, Master. Senior Sister and I are just doing business. We are just exchanging opinions from the standpoint of two forces. This won’t affect our personal feelings.”
After seeing Old Li’s anxious expression ease up, Ning Shi said to Li Sijia, “Thank you City Lord Li for your advice and guidance. You’re right. It’s not easy for any organization or force to survive.
“If the leader of an organization is tactful and flexible, the organization can indeed last longer.
“However, every organization had its own interests, some of which are fundamental interests. If an organization cannot even protect its own fundamental interests, then what is the need for this organization to exist?
“The relocation of the Celestial Sect’s headquarters is an internal matter that involves the core interests of the Celestial Sect. We should consider the interests of the Celestial Sect and not allow external forces to interfere and threaten us.
‘What do you think, City Lord Li?”
When Li Sijia heard this, her expression became even colder. She stood up with a thud, and a gray aura surged around her body. The mecha key on her earring also flickered with light. The aura of an expert enveloped the entire hall.
The noise in the hall immediately dissipated, and the surroundings were silent.
Only Li Sijia’s cold voice echoed in the hall.
“Ning Shi, I can pilot an intermediate mecha right now and kill all of you!
Aren’t you afraid?”
After Li Sijia said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze. Many members of the Celestial Sect were at a loss. They did not understand why everyone had suddenly turned against each other when they were just chatting happily.
Many people assumed defensive postures, obviously afraid that Li Sijia would really make a move.
These people weren’t overly nervous, but the radioactive people were indeed like this. Because of their years of dealing with radiation elements, most radioactive people were contradictory, rigorous, and irritable.
Attacking without a word was too normal in the eyes of the radioactive people.
Moreover, a mecha master like Li Sijia was different from a mecha master trained by an ordinary person. When the radioactive person left the mecha, due to the power of the radiation element, they were also very powerful.
They weren’t like ordinary human mecha masters who could be easily killed by sneak attacks once they left their mecha.
This was also why the Celestial Sect had always been suppressed and ostracized in the Norse Republic. It was because they were too much of a threat to mecha masters. Even if the kidnapping of Nico did not fail, the Celestial Sect would still be suppressed by the Marquis of Blackbox.
However, the radioactive people were different. They were not afraid of traditional fighters, so the Celestial Sect had been very close to New Star City over the years. Many of the meetings were held in radioactive cities.
There was such a cause and effect behind this.
Because of this, Li Sijia felt that the radioactive people were stronger than traditional fighters. The radioactive people could suppress traditional fighters.
She had taken a fancy to the Celestial Sect and wanted to take it under her wing so that she could contend with the other forces of the Norse Republic in the future.
Facing Li Sijia’s aggressiveness, Ning Shi only used one sentence to calm her down.
“City Lord Li, your son Yan Yinfei is still studying in the academy. I don’t think he likes fighting and killing. Why don’t we learn some knowledge in a friendly manner?’
Ning Shi did not expect Li Sijia’s reaction to be so extreme. He had no choice but to retaliate. He did not really want to hurt Yan Yinfei. He was just using this threat to hit Li Sijia with his words..
