Chapter 561 Divinity
After informing Li Huaide of the good news, Li Qin quickly left Li Huaide's office.
Because Li Huaide had a lot of work to do, Li Qin couldn't, and shouldn't, keep chatting with him.
Li Qin was perceptive enough to understand this.
Moreover, Li Qin hasn't been home for several days.
Now that things at the steel rolling mill have been basically settled, Li Qin plans to go home.
Having been away for several days, Li Qin felt an indescribable sense of relaxation as he stood outside the courtyard gate and looked at the courtyard in front of him again.
Although he wasn't afraid of some people in the courtyard house before, Li Qin subconsciously still felt a little different towards them.
However, as his divine status was upgraded and he became an immortal being, his perspective seemed to have changed.
People paid less attention to the people in the courtyard house and became more indifferent.
It's like how people don't care about the ants under their feet.
Although it may sound like an exaggeration, Li Qin and the people in the courtyard have truly become completely different species.
At the very least, if Li Qin hadn't left this world, even if a hundred years had passed and Li Qin was still young, most of the people in the courtyard would likely have turned to dust.
For Li Qin now, a hundred years is nothing, but for most people in the world, a hundred years is a lifetime.
"Hey, Li Qin, you're back. Since you're back, why are you standing outside instead of coming in?"
Just as Li Qin was feeling sentimental, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.
Li Qin turned around and found that it was Xu Damao.
At this moment, Xu Damao's face was full of joy.
Upon seeing this scene, Li Qin's previously indifferent, god-like gaze suddenly changed.
Just moments ago, as he was lost in thought, feeling as if he were no longer on the same level as the people of the world, the humanity in Li Qin's eyes began to fade.
Instead, there is a cold, icy, rational divinity.
Xu Damao's words, however, awakened Li Qin.
"That was close! That was really close!"
Realizing that something was wrong with his condition, Li Qin was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
Although he wanted to become a god step by step through the process of upgrading his divine status, that was on the premise that he maintained his own identity.
If one loses even the most basic sense of self, then in the end, he will only become a mindless being, no different from a robot.
That's not the outcome he wanted.
"It seems my path isn't as simple as I imagined; it's also fraught with risks. I'll have to be more careful in the future."
Li Qin quickly reminded himself.
He knew that the reason he had this problem was mainly because he hadn't experienced enough things.
In the context of the Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) world, this means one's Dao heart is not firm enough.
Of course, another important reason is that Li Qin is the only extraordinary being in this world, with no other beings of his kind.
If this were in the wizarding world, upgrading one's divine status would bring Li Qin a significant boost.
However, because there are other powerful wizards and other wizards, even if his mentality becomes inflated, it won't be as outrageous as it is now.
However, as time goes by and Li Qin gains more experience, his will will become even stronger.
This impact will naturally diminish over time.
"Li Qin, you don't look well. Are you sick?"
Xu Damao noticed that Li Qin didn't reply and that his expression was somewhat off.
His smile vanished instantly, replaced by a look of concern as he asked.
Li Qin, regaining his senses, quickly shook his head;
"It's nothing, I was just too tired from this trip to the countryside."
He naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he could only make up an excuse.
However, Xu Damao found this excuse to be very reasonable.
He nodded with a look of sudden realization;
"You've been going to the countryside for five or six days this time, so it's normal to be tired. Since you're tired, go home and rest."
Xu Damao immediately walked to Li Qin's side, and then reached out to help Li Qin push his bicycle into the courtyard.
Li Qin did not refuse Xu Damao's kindness and followed behind Xu Damao into the courtyard with a smile.
When Yan Bugui, who was guarding the front yard, saw Xu Damao pushing his bicycle in, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.
In Yan Bugui's mind, the most generous family in the courtyard house was definitely the Xu family in the back.
Whenever Xu Fugui or Xu Damao returned from showing movies in the countryside, he only needed to offer a few words of flattery to receive some tangible benefits from them.
Although the amount of stuff might not be much, it was already a huge gain for Yan Bugui, who was known for his stinginess and thrift.
The appearance of Xu Damao means that the harvest season has arrived again.
Yan Bugui then prepared to walk towards Xu Damao.
Yan Bugui had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face was instantly replaced by a complex expression.
He realized that Li Qin had followed Xu Damao in.
The moment Yan Bugui saw Li Qin, a look of apprehension flashed in his eyes.
He recalled the threat Li Qin had made to him not long ago.
Even though several days had passed, Yan Bugui still felt a little uneasy and trembled when he saw Li Qin again.
Especially today.
The moment he saw Li Qin, he felt a sense of fear, unease, and dread.
Even though Li Qin's face was full of smiles.
He didn't know that this was because Li Qin's life essence had been elevated after his divine status was upgraded.
Although Li Qin intentionally concealed his aura.
However, because he was already somewhat displeased with Yan Bugui, he unknowingly revealed a trace of his aura.
Ordinary people would naturally feel afraid.
Just as Yan Bugui hesitated, Xu Damao took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello, Uncle San!"
Upon hearing Xu Damao's greeting, Yan Bugui quickly smiled and nodded.
After giving Yan Bugui a deep look, Li Qin smiled and nodded to him, which was considered a greeting.
Yan Bugui's smile froze instantly, then he forced a smile back at Li Qin.
He had already prepared himself for Li Qin to ignore him, but he didn't expect that after what happened last time, Li Qin would still be willing to greet him.
The main reason Li Qin was like this was because his divine status had been upgraded, and Li Qin was in a very good mood.
So although I still felt a little annoyed with Yan Bugui, it wasn't as strong as before.
However, Li Qin did not intend to waste words with Yan Bugui.
After exchanging greetings, they continued walking straight into the depths of the courtyard.
Xu Damao's eyes flashed with a strange light upon seeing this, but in the end he said nothing.
After exchanging a smile with Yan Bugui, Xu Damao immediately pushed his bicycle and caught up with Li Qin.
Seeing Li Qin and Xu Damao's departing figures, Yan Bugui suddenly seemed to realize something, and a look of regret appeared on his face.
"Oh dear, how come I forgot to say more to Damao just now?"
As per usual practice, as long as he casually talked to Xu Damao about something, Xu Damao would give him some benefit.
Unfortunately, Li Qin completely forgot about this matter.
