Before long, a group of people gathered around a man who had walked over, and that man was the original host's father.
There wasn't a trace of a smile on his bronze-colored face, his eyes were deep, and his facial features were incomparably perfect, he was indeed a handsome man!
Li Shuning couldn't help but recall the man who had smiled at her in front of the elevator that day. Li Bingyi was very good-looking, and with the aura he possessed, many young girls would likely scream for him. But that Yun Zimo, he was even more handsome and had a more captivating presence that made it hard to look away.
As Li Bingyi approached, Li Shuning followed the original Li Shuning's habit based on the information she had received, and respectfully bowed to Li Bingyi, softly calling out, "Father."
Yes, Li Shuning called him Father. The original host was overly sensitive and timid, hardly daring to get close to Li Bingyi most of the time.
The only person Li Shuning was somewhat close to was her shadow, Li Xin, so she trusted Li Xin very much.
Li Bingyi glanced at Li Shuning indifferently, just nodded slightly, and said nothing, then Li Junming stepped forward and began reporting some matters to Li Bingyi.
Previously, when briefly connected with Li Bingyi, some matters were not fully discussed.
Li Shuning walked quietly behind with Li Xin, watching as Li Junming and Li Bingyi boarded a giant black hovercar.
Li Shuning sighed, and after getting on the hovercar with Li Xin, she looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling a bit puzzled in her heart.
Li Bingyi's gaze was off. The way he looked at Li Shuning was like looking at some insignificant speck of dust. How could that be the gaze of someone looking at their own daughter?
And in the information Li Shuning received, it seemed like the interaction between Li Shuning and her father had always been like this. Initially, Li Shuning thought it was because the original host was too timid and didn't dare to get close to her father, but now, it seems that wasn't the case.
Only inside the hovercar with Li Bingyi and Li Junming did the former's expression soften a bit, as he looked at Li Junming with a half-smile: "Junming, the matter was handled well that time. But are you sure Li Shuning has become a Spiritual Ability User?"
"Big Brother, rest assured, I've confirmed it several times."
Li Bingyi's eyes glimmered with a hint of greed: "It's not for nothing that I've raised her."
"Big Brother, the eldest lady probably doesn't have the same talent as Madam. After she acquired the jade crystal, apart from the initial fast progress in cultivation, there doesn't seem to be any further improvement."
"Oh, do you think she might be holding back her true abilities?"
Li Junming thought for a moment and said, "Big Brother, it shouldn't be. The eldest lady knows nothing; why would she hold back? After all, she understood nothing before, and in just two years, she's reached Third Rank strength, which is impressive. And the eldest lady is still emotionally attached to you. Since she has superpowers now, she surely hopes to gain your attention. I've observed that the eldest lady never stops cultivating. But genius and ordinary people, it's not just hard work that can bridge that gap. Madam back then was a genius; not everyone can catch up to that."
"Junming, in this world, without strength, everything else is nonsense. Remember that and don't develop unnecessary sympathy, even for someone you've raised for seventeen years."
Li Junming quickly nodded: "I've got it, Big Brother."
"Recently, I've received news that someone seems to be inquiring about Madam."
Li Bingyi sneered: "Find that person, you know how to handle it. And haven't you figured out the situation with the Floating Building yet? Hmph, having such a place appear in my territory is truly irritating."
"Big Brother, I haven't figured it out yet. Previously, when the eldest lady entered that Floating Building, I've tried to investigate several times, but she didn't mention whom she met. I wanted to use the opportunity to contact someone inside the Floating Building, but there's no way."
"I see, I will personally look into this matter."
"Big Brother..." Li Junming hesitated.
"What's wrong? Is there anything we brothers can't discuss?"
"Big Brother, the eldest lady has awakened her superpowers, you should be mindful during communication. After all, an obedient puppet is better than a disobedient one."
Li Bingyi remained noncommittal, but said nothing further.
He naturally understood what Li Junming meant.
"Don't worry, for my own sake, I will make sure to be a good father."
Returning to the manor, Li Bingyi called for Li Shuning.
"Father, was your expedition successful this time?"
Li Bingyi shook his head: "Let's not talk about that, it's classified. Shuning, I heard from the butler that you were pursued into the Floating Building, did you discover anything after entering? Did you see anyone?"
Li Shuning lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Bingyi, afraid of revealing her thoughts.
For some reason, she felt a strong aversion to telling Li Bingyi about seeing Bai Zimo that day.
"Father, that day I rushed into the Floating Building, I don't know what happened, but the elevator suddenly opened. When I was being chased, I hurried in, and later when Uncle Ming arrived, I came down. I didn't see anyone else; otherwise, I would have told Uncle Ming at the time."
Li Bingyi frowned, coldly watching Li Shuning: "Are you sure? The elevator just opened on its own? Why doesn't anyone else enter the Floating Building?"
"Father, your daughter doesn't know, she was terrified at that moment, somehow ended up in the elevator, and she is very sure she didn't see anyone."
As a Spiritual Ability User, the first sense is very precise. No matter what, she always felt something strange about the father-daughter relationship, and Li Bingyi's inquiries about the Floating Building were also peculiar.
In her impression, this Floating Building is quite a special existence, so was there some underlying meaning to Li Bingyi's persistent questioning about it?
Seeing that nothing further could be gleaned, Li Bingyi grew a bit irritated, his voice turning colder: "If that's the case, you may leave. If you think of anything else, inform Junming."
After retreating from Li Bingyi's study, Li Shuning calmly returned to her room to continue her cultivation, regardless of how strange Li Bingyi was. There was nothing she could do about it.
Though her current strength was phenomenal, against a Super Rank power, she still had no chance of winning.
At this moment, inside Li Bingyi's study, Li Junming was also present.
"Big Brother, I looked into it, and the person inquiring about Madam suddenly appeared on Nadis Planet. Several times, when our people followed the lead, that person would disappear around the Floating Building."
"Hmph, that Floating Building again, as long as it exists, it's a constant mockery to me. Li Shuning definitely is hiding something; go find Luo Bin and have him come over to help."
Li Junming was shocked: "Does Big Brother intend to have Luo Bin hypnotize the eldest lady? This..."
"Junming, know your place."
"Yes, I will take care of it right away."
