19 Collaboration
In the gathering room, it could be seen that Li Chen was sitting on one side of the table while the Tang siblings were sitting on the other side.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Tang Jun said
"I would like to ask whether both of you would like to work with me inside the secret realm?" Li Chen spoke with a smile on his face
"And why should we join hands with you? We are form the Tang family, and tons of people will line up to work FOR us" This time Tang Lina was the one who spoke
"While that is indeed true, but do I need to remind you that since you are from the Tang family, you will also have many working against you?" Li Chen replied while maintaining a smile on his face
"You-" Just as Tang Lina was about to continue arguing, her brother stopped her and replied "Could you explain further how exactly will we work together?"
"Yes of course, so my plan is ..." Li Chen replied
------------
Tang Lina's POV:
"Brother, how could you just agree with that boy's plan?" I questioned my brother after we return to our estate
"Lina, working with that boy will bring us more benefit than loss." My brother replied
"HOW?? He is alone brother. This collaboration will only benefit him." I yelled at my brother to which he just smiled and listen to my words
"But Lina, do you actually think that white haired kid is alone?"
"What do you mean brother?"
"Just think it through Lina. We are both the main descendants and geniuses of the great Tang family, but the people who are in the shadows protecting us are only king realm and emperor realm experts. But, that boy Li Chen is followed by venerable realm experts."
"But brother, our family also has many experts that is stronger than the venerable realm right?"
"Thats my point Lina, but why don't they follow us?"
"Well that is because they are the core of our family."
"Exactly, venerable realm experts can be an elder/ leader of an important faction. But, in front of Li Chen and his background, venerable realm experts are just guards."
Hearing my brother's words I realized just how terrifying that boy actually is, and after thinking about something I realized "Brother!! do you think what I am thinking?"
My brother just kept his smile from start until finish "Have you realized it as well Lina? The only one who could do something like that is the Gu's right? And don't forget their tradition, where their younger boys will go outside to train."
"But brother, something doesn't add up. I thought that while doing their training, the boys from Gu family won't be supported by their family?"
"This is only my guess but I think that the venerable following Li Chen is not from the Gu family. But they are his own people."
"...."
After my conversation with my brother, I went back to my room and many thoughts came through my mind.
From my memories, the young master of the Gu family, Gu Chen is no where that talented. Of course he was a genius that awakened a heaven grade talent, but his talent was still slightly below mine.
Wait!! Could he also be reborn like me? In my previous life the young master of the Gu family met his demise on a young age...
AHHH, this is really confusing.

Li Chen's POV:
Now I am back to my inn as the promised meetup time with the Tang siblings are still more than a day away.
"System, extract rewards."

As soon as the system replied, I felt a warm current flowing inside me and I felt a surge of power and battle spirit inside of me.
This must be the sword intent awakening right? "system show me my status."
