#448Chapter 422: The Ambition to Seize GoryeoAI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
The chaebols of Goryeo knew how to enjoy life; the estate had a team of over thirty servants constantly attending to the Li family members who only occasionally came to rest there.
Because the eldest daughter of the family was currently on the estate, the white-haired butler meticulously oversaw the dining and living details in the garden.
Bai Cangshu lay on a chair by the pool, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks.
Servants had long since prepared fruits and refreshments, mostly exquisite, high-end items.
The white-haired old man's peripheral vision constantly assessed the man his young mistress had brought back; he was handsome and strong, not like someone from a place like Myanmar.
He hadn't expected that Miss Li Qingzi, who was always so strong and autocratic, would quietly bring back a man, and seemingly…be completely obedient to him.
The old man was very good at reading expressions; although the two didn't show it overtly, he could sense from the occasional glances Li Qingzi cast at the man that in their relationship, the dominant one was not his young mistress.
He had already reported this fact to the true owner of the March Conglomerate—Chairman Li Xianhou.
He pressed his earpiece, heard the security report from the estate entrance, and knowing that Chairman Li Xianhou had arrived, he went to his side.
"Mr. Bai, Chairman Li Xianhou is here; he would like to see you."
The old man did not rely on a translator; his pronunciation, while not standard, was sufficient for communication.
He had not previously shown any signs of speaking East Xia language in front of Li Qingzi and Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu, lying on the chair, opened his eyes, glanced at the deep-minded and meticulous old man, then closed his eyes again, simply saying,
"I'm tired. Tell him to come see me."
His tone was casual; he showed little special respect for the old man who had built the March Conglomerate from scratch.
The white-haired butler froze, opening his mouth to reprimand him, but then held back. Fortunately, Li Qingzi walked out from the inner room at that moment.
The woman seemed to have just bathed, changing into a long red and black dress, grand and alluring.
Bai Cangshu's nose twitched; he smelled a special scent, a new odor on this woman's body.
Even with perfume to mask it after bathing, Bai Cangshu's perception ability was now exceptionally high, allowing him to detect the changes in her body.
"Go invite Grandfather over; I will explain it to him."
Li Qingzi's expression was cool but arrogant; she clearly understood Bai Cangshu's thoughts, and in fact, her own thoughts were increasingly aligning with his.
The rules of the world had silently changed; the definition of "power" in this world had been secretly revised.
Wealth, influence, and even armies were no longer absolute power.
And they, the Reincarnators, especially high-tier Reincarnators, were true power itself!
Chairman Li Xianhou wore a loose white robe; although well-preserved, his aged state could not be concealed.
He entered from the garden, leaning on his cane, and saw his highly anticipated eldest granddaughter standing behind a shirtless man. Although she was looking at him, she did not step forward to greet him.
Chairman Li Xianhou's smile remained unchanged; he waved his hand, signaling the directors, butler, and bodyguards behind him to disperse, then walked alone to the poolside.
He looked down at the man with closed eyes; just by looking, he could feel the powerful vitality emanating from him, completely different from himself, an old man beginning his journey to the grave.
The other party was clearly in his own estate, yet his demeanor made it seem as if he were the guest.
Li Qingzi was about to speak, but Chairman Li Xianhou had already sat down on another lounge chair.
He spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
"Mr. Bai is one of those people with special talents, isn't he?"
Li Qingzi glanced at her grandfather, preparing to translate truthfully, but Bai Cangshu raised his hand. Before returning to the real world, he had also found someone to cast a permanent language comprehension spell.
[Permanent · Language Comprehension (C · Buff) — You will automatically understand and master most human languages that do not possess mysterious power]
For only 800 dimensional points, one could easily master nearly a hundred languages through a not-so-advanced spell. Reincarnators had an overwhelming advantage over ordinary humans.
"My granddaughter has also gotten involved."
Chairman Li Xianhou, due to his immense wealth and influence, had naturally become aware through various information channels that more and more Ability Users were appearing in the world.
In fact, those individuals had already clashed with the current order a few days prior, off the coast of Australia.
Based on this understanding, he quickly realized that many such Ability Users were likely hidden among ordinary people.
Thus, he suspected that his excellent but always "event-involved" granddaughter, Li Qingzi, also belonged to that group.
Bai Cangshu's mysterious appearance and Li Qingzi's obedience to him now had an explanation.
Chairman Li Xianhou did not need Bai Cangshu to answer; he was merely stating that he knew all of this.
He then looked at his most beloved granddaughter, shaking his head with a sigh.
"You, you, your vision is still too narrow after all."
"Since you had such an opportunity, why hide? If I had this information earlier, I could have helped you gather more people of that kind, and our March Conglomerate would have long since…"
The old man's few words carried a lot of regret.
Li Qingzi raised her eyebrows; although she knew her grandfather was an excellent person, his reaction and boldness at this moment still moved her.
Bai Cangshu also opened his eyes at this moment, his eyes filled with appreciative amusement.
Bai Cangshu clapped his hands, then sat up from the lounge chair.
"Indeed, Chairman Li Xianhou, you are indeed more talented than her."
Bai Cangshu admired people with exceptional talent. If the other party could become a Reincarnator, he thought that even if his combat talent was not as good as Li Qingzi's, his potential for development might not be weaker than Li Qingzi's.
The difference between the two lay in their way of thinking; Li Qingzi, for a long time, still maintained the mindset of an "ordinary person."
If Bai Cangshu were the eldest son of the March Conglomerate, he would probably have already seized control of the conglomerate and then, using its power, begun to hunt Reincarnators on a large scale without any hesitation.
For the Reincarnators within Goryeo, the March Conglomerate, as a local emperor, was itself a tremendous threat.
Li Qingzi, however, merely used her information channels in a limited way, still thinking of hiding her true self with a weak mindset.
"It seems that cooperating with you is a good idea."
Bai Cangshu smiled. Chairman Li Xianhou paused, then immediately extended his hand.
Chairman Li Xianhou felt that this young man completely saw through his thoughts, and his thinking speed was very fast, making it somewhat difficult for his aged self to keep up.
"In this era of great change, we should hold this country in our own hands."
Chairman Li Xianhou and Bai Cangshu shook hands, both showing greedy smiles.
