Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

On this deserted mountaintop, a small pavilion stood out, and tea sets were already prepared on the stone tea table inside.

The Bad Guy Commander strode into the pavilion, turned around and gestured to Shen Ye, saying, "Please sit down."

Shen Ye didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to sit down opposite him. Watching the other man lift the kettle, which was boiling loudly, from the small stove and pour it into a teacup already filled with tea leaves, he couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems he's been waiting for me."

……

Chapter 428! I'm just afraid you won't accept it.

……

As he was thinking, the Bad Commander pushed the teacup in front of him and said very politely, "Please have some!"

"You're too kind, General."

Shen Ye didn't seem flattered at all. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and nodded as the refreshing aroma of the tea soothed his soul.

“Good tea!”

"The tea that I can use to entertain distinguished guests is naturally the best."

Perhaps because of the mask, the Bad Commander's voice lacked pride and sounded as somber as ever.

Shen Ye took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. Although he could tell the quality of tea leaves, he actually preferred various carbonated drinks, especially cola.

"Speaking of which, the Bad Commander probably didn't just want to invite me for tea, did he?" Shen Ye looked at the Bad Commander in front of him, feeling that he was talking nonsense. Since ancient times, inviting someone for tea has basically been related to discussing business, and no one is an exception.

The Bad Guy Commander nodded slightly, his deep voice devoid of any emotion: "Where exactly did you come from? And what do you want here?"

He was an expert in divination, able to predict events even three hundred years in the future. But everything changed after the person in front of him appeared. No matter how he calculated, he couldn't figure out where the person in front of him came from. Moreover, he re-deduced Li Xingyun's fate, but the result was very different from what he had predicted three hundred years ago. This also caused the scheme he had laid out a hundred years ago to vanish.

Shen Ye waved his hand and said, "As for me, I am just an unknown nobody. My background is not worth mentioning. I don't intend to do anything. I just want to travel around and see the scenery I have never seen before. Just treat me as a traveler who doesn't care about the affairs of the world."

The wicked commander sneered: "Heh, a traveler who doesn't care about worldly affairs... do you think I would believe that?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it myself," Shen Ye shrugged.

The Bad Commander's voice remained cold: "Heh, since you don't concern yourself with worldly affairs, why did you interfere in the scheme I set up and change Li Xingyun's fate?"

Shen Ye retorted, "Change Li Xingyun's fate? Wasn't it you, the Bad Commander, who imposed it on him? Don't you know what his original fate should have been? Besides, I didn't do anything."

“So you do know something after all…” A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Bad Commander, but then returned to calm as he continued, “I don’t care what you do, but you’d better not interfere in Li Xingyun’s affairs. I just want him to do what he should do.”

"What he should do is live his life peacefully, not make him suffer because of your obsession." Shen Ye stared into the eyes of the Bad Commander, then suddenly smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you gave a little girl named Fan Qiao'er decades of peace and prosperity back then. Why don't you take pity on Li Xingyun now and let him enjoy it too?"

“You…” The Bad Commander was surprised that Shen Ye knew this too. A rare look of shock appeared in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, “Because he is different from Fan Qiao’er. He is a direct descendant of Emperor Taizong. He is destined to be the emperor. What he wants to do is to revive the Tang Dynasty and restore the prosperous Zhenguan era.”

Shen Ye gently shook his head: "But you also know that he can't do it, and you also know that the Tang Dynasty can never be revived."

“With my help, how could he not succeed?” The Bad Marshal stood up abruptly, turned around, and looked at the distant scenery with his back to Shen Ye. After a while, he continued, “Since you know so much, why don’t you help me help Li Xingyun? If the two of us join forces, the world may not be unable to be ruled by the Li family again.”

Shen Ye refused as a matter of course: "I'm sorry, I'm really not interested in this struggle for supremacy."

The tyrannical leader glanced back at him, then sneered, "Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to talk about between us."

"There wasn't much to talk about anyway." Shen Ye nodded, stood up, and cupped his hands to the Bad Commander, saying, "However, I still thank the Bad Commander for his hospitality. After all, there are probably very few people in the world who can drink tea brewed by your own hands."

The Bad Guy Commander turned around, looked at Shen Ye, and said, "Because others are not worthy."

Seeing the fleeting surprise on Shen Ye's face, he continued, "However, I still have to tell you that although you know a lot, no one can change what I'm going to do, not even fate."

"Then I'll wait and see." Shen Ye knew that what the Bad Commander said was true. After all, he had truly changed Li Xingyun's fate against all odds. But now, he wanted to see how his appearance would disrupt the Bad Commander's scheme.

"Then you just wait and see." The Bad Commander gave him a deep look, then turned his back and asked a question that left Shen Ye completely baffled.

"I'd like to know, what are your aspirations?"

"Me?" Shen Ye was taken aback, not understanding why he asked this, but he still said, "Actually, it's similar to Li Xingyun, just enjoying the scenery and indulging in poetry and romance. Of course, it would be best to have a group of beauties to accompany you. As for other things like money and power, I'm not interested."

Towards the end, he touched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

But the Bad Leader simply nodded slightly: "A fine ambition."

"Hmm? Why does the Bad Commander say that?" Shen Ye frowned as he looked at his back.

"It's nothing." The Bad Commander shook his head slightly, but what he was thinking was:

"Not greedy for money, not wanting power, just wanting beautiful women to accompany you? Very good. Since you have such preferences, that makes things easier. There are plenty of women out there. The only problem is... you might not want them."

In fact, he knew that he had begun to doubt his own scheme, but he wanted to try again.

Or... I should set up a new plan... a plan specifically targeting... him.

The Bad Guy Commander gazed at the clouds on the horizon, a terrifying smile spreading across his face beneath his mask.

……

Hidden Soldier Valley, the study of the Bad Commander.

"Junior sister, can you stop? Stop pacing around in front of me, you're making me dizzy." Li Xingyun complained as she watched Lu Linxuan walking back and forth in the small room.

"Shut up." Lu Linxuan usually didn't have a good temper with his senior brother. He glared at him fiercely and said, "Brother Shen and that so-called Bad Commander have been gone for so long and haven't come back yet. Aren't you worried?"

"I'm worried, but I feel he should be fine. Let's just wait for them to come back, just like we were at the Sword Pavilion." Li Xingyun scratched his head. He hadn't sensed any malice from the Bad Commander before.

But Lu Linxuan didn't care, because she could clearly sense that the Bad Commander was different from the experts she had encountered before; he was almost unfathomably strong.

So she stopped, knelt down beside the Empress, took her hand and said, "Sister Yunji, let's go out and find Brother Shen!"

Ji Ruxue, who was also looking worried, nodded and said, "Sister, I'm also a little worried about Brother Shen..."

However, before the Empress could speak, the study door suddenly opened, and then two figures appeared in the study.

“Brother Shen (Shen Lang)”.

"Commander."

Upon seeing the two appear, the people in the room all cried out.

Shen Ye and the Bad Commander also spoke up:

"Yun Ji, Xue'er, Xuan'er, Miao Chengtian, Xuan Jingtian, come out with me for a moment. The Bad Commander has something to say to Brother Li."

"Uncle Yang, Shangguan Yunque, please step out for a moment."

……

(After thinking about it, I'll use the Bad Guy Commander's hands to take everything I need! Hehe!)

Chapter 429! Scheme

……

As soon as he came out of the study, the Empress and others surrounded Shen Ye.

"Shen Lang, what did the Bad Commander say to you?"

"Brother Shen, did the Bad Commander give you any trouble?"

"Brother Shen, why did he make my senior brother stay?"

The three women each asked a question, making Shen Ye's scalp tingle.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ye answered the Empress first: "He didn't say anything, he just invited me to have a cup of tea and then asked me a strange question."

This is the only conversation I can share with the Bad Commander.

He then turned to Ji Ruxue, leaving the curious Empress behind, and said, "The Grand Marshal didn't make things difficult for me. Well, to be honest, he was quite polite."

Finally, he said to Lu Linxuan, "As for your senior brother, I don't know. You can ask him yourself when he comes out."

After answering the three women's questions, Shen Ye sat on the stone railing in front of the study. He then glanced at the study, wanting to hear what the Bad Commander was saying to Li Xingyun, but the study was enveloped by a powerful aura, so he couldn't hear anything. He gave up his plan to eavesdrop, then rested his chin on his hand, closed his eyes, and began to ponder.

Seeing Shen Ye deep in thought, the women didn't disturb him, but simply stood quietly to the side, watching him silently.

At this moment, Shen Ye was thinking about something: whether he should interfere too much in Li Xingyun's experiences. Although he had just made a bet with Yuan Tiangang... well, it wasn't really a bet, more like an argument. But if he interfered too much, it seemed no different from Yuan Tiangang's actions, and it might even make Old Li's already imperfect life even more tragic, which was not something he wanted to see...

So, after thinking for a while, he decided that he would continue as before, neither taking the initiative nor interfering too much in Lao Li's experiences. Except for intervening at crucial moments, he would remain an observer and let Lao Li make his own decisions...

After thinking about it for a while, he slowly opened his eyes and saw several women watching him. He smiled at them.

At this moment, the study door opened, and Li Xingyun and the Bad Commander came out together.

However, upon seeing the large sword on Li Xingyun's back, he frowned slightly.

The subsequent conversation between the Bad Marshal and Li Xingyun made him frown even more deeply.

"Your Highness, you should gain experience and broaden your horizons in the martial world. I will recruit soldiers and horses for you and make connections with various forces to help you achieve your great cause."

"I know, I know, I will train hard." Li Xingyun patted his chest, looking reassured.

Shen Ye's brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly. He couldn't understand how Yang Shuzi had survived and Ji Ruxue had become his woman. How did the Bad Commander manage to get Li Xingyun to agree to restore the kingdom?

Thinking of this, he looked up at the Bad Commander, but the man was wearing a mask and he couldn't see anything. Then he looked at Li Xingyun and found that when Li Xingyun saw him looking over, he actually grinned at him and gave him a thumbs up.

Then he said something that also puzzled him: "Brother Shen, I will try my best."

No, what are you working so hard for? What happened to your carefree, wandering dreams? Why are you suddenly trying to restore your kingdom?

So, he frowned and said to the Bad Commander, "Bad Commander, I want to talk to you."
