Chapter 1269 - 1319 Rewards
Li Yifei agreed to Park Sung-ho’s proposal, but it was after careful consideration from various aspects.
The Noah’s Ark Organization was still overwhelmingly powerful. Even though he and Jiang Ningxiang had grown strong enough to compete against top-tier experts like the Elders, it was just the two of them within the Li family. On the other hand, Noah’s Ark had not only the four strong fighters they encountered but also the mysterious Sect Leader. These five formidable opponents were far beyond what Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang could handle alone.
Even though there were top-tier experts like Murong Yuanqing in the country, they couldn’t possibly align with Li Yifei. If Noah’s Ark genuinely wanted to kill him and went all out, it would be truly difficult for Li Yifei to manage.
This was the pressure coming from Noah’s Ark. Furthermore, Li Yifei also considered the current state of the Li family. Right now, it wasn’t suitable to engage in large-scale conflicts with such a strong opponent. That would be extremely detrimental to the Li family’s development. If confrontation could be avoided, it should be avoided.
Since Noah’s Ark was currently unwilling to have a direct conflict with him, it was a good thing for him. There was no reason for him to refuse their offer. Clearly, Noah’s Ark had also realized this point. Even though they had intended to eliminate Li Yifei earlier, now they were willing to collaborate with him.
Additionally, Noah’s Ark must have calculated that collaborating with Li Yifei at this time could be beneficial for their long-term interests. If they truly wanted to eliminate Li Yifei, there would be plenty of opportunities to do so in the future. There was no rush to act now.
So, after some posturing, both sides came to an agreement.
When Li Yifei returned to the inner house and showed the gift list to everyone, they ignored the jewels and such entirely. However, as soon as they saw the ten women listed, each of them glared at Li Yifei disapprovingly.
Li Yifei quickly raised his hands and said, "Don’t look at me like that! I was thinking, there are lots of bachelors living in the outer house. Since these women are no longer ordinary people due to the influence of Noah’s Ark, there’s no need for me to treat them with too much reverence. I’ll just assign them to the men in the outer house. This way, they’ll start families and be more loyal to our Li family moving forward."
Although everyone had received a proper education and were somewhat uncomfortable with the concept of distributing women, the fact that Li Yifei wasn’t keeping these women for himself, but rather assigning them to the outer house men, made the idea slightly more acceptable.
