under night

Yue Ge sat cross-legged beside the campfire. Suddenly, he slowly raised his eyes and looked towards the distant sky.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly. The time should have come, right?

Don't know

Do they like this gift I left for them?

Alas, it’s all my fault that I stayed in Li Mansion for too short a time and couldn’t give them better gifts.

but

That's enough.

……

In the study

Li Qi looked at the man in a purple robe sitting at the table. Although he was just quietly flipping through a book, the oppressive feeling he gave people was extremely strong.

A thin layer of cold sweat had already appeared on Li Qi's forehead.

"I heard that Patriarch Li wants to discuss matters concerning cultivation with me?" Yue Ling smiled, with a hint of disdain in his voice.

It was really ridiculous that the head of one of the four major families in a lower-class country wanted to discuss cultivation with me.

He also heard about the affairs of the Li Mansion. Haha, a mere woman who couldn't practice cultivation actually made such a big family go around in circles. It was not surprising that the people of the Li family would withdraw from the position of the four major families in the near future.

It’s just that Li Zhaozhao, who used to be cowardly and vulnerable, transformed overnight. I don’t know if he hid it too deeply, or if there really was an expert helping him behind the scenes!

"Yes, Li Zhaozhao, she is the sixth young lady of my Li family. But what outsiders don't know is that Li Zhaozhao is not the daughter of my Li family. Sixteen years ago, I rescued her and her mother.

Her mother was a spiritual practitioner, but she mysteriously disappeared one night, leaving Li Zhaozhao alone.

When I was eight years old, this girl failed the talent test, but she was able to put my Li Mansion into the current predicament, so..."

Yue Ling put down the book in his hand, slowly raised his eyes to look at Li Qi, and said leisurely: "So what Master Li wants to say is that Li Zhaozhao has some treasure related to cultivation, right? Or is it that she has hidden the secret that she can practice again even if she fails the talent test?"

Li Qi: “Yes”

Although Yue Ling felt that it was impossible, his master had said that there were very few people who could fully comprehend the path of cultivation.

The silence around made Li Qi even more nervous, and just when Li Qi was extremely anxious.

Yue Ling: "Do you have a portrait of Li Zhaozhao?"

"Yes, yes," Li Qi responded repeatedly, the joy on his face was beyond words. As he spoke, he took out the portrait that he had prepared long ago from his arms.

Li Qi: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, this rebellious girl is ugly. Please don't pollute your Highness's eyes."

Yue Ling sneered in his heart, he was really not from the Li Mansion. This Li Qi, I'm afraid that before Li Zhaozhao was eight years old, Li Qi only wanted to use Li Zhaozhao as a chess piece to bring glory to the Li Mansion!

"Okay, I get it. I'm afraid Patriarch Li's visit is not just to discuss cultivation, right?" Yue Ling said as his eyes fell on his face covered with spider webs.

The spider web is poisonous. Haha, the Li family nowadays really cannot produce Thousand Silk.

Li Qi: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I am poisoned, and only Thousand Silk can cure it."

"No problem." Yue Ling slowly raised his hand, and a brocade box appeared on the table. "Inside is the thousand silks. Patriarch Li told me such an important thing. Patriarch Li has something to ask of you, so I will naturally help you."

Li Qi: "Thank you, Your Majesty"

Li Qi held the hard-earned silk.

"Master Li, if you have nothing else to do, please go back! I still have important matters to deal with."

Li Qi: "Yes, Your Majesty."

……

Li Qi held the brocade box and just opened the door.

Li Qi felt the stinging pain from the sword entering his body. He looked down and saw the sharp sword that pierced his chest. His pupils suddenly shrank and his face was full of disbelief.

but

As the sword was drawn out, the whole person suddenly fell downwards, and along with him fell to the ground, the brocade box containing the thousand silks.

"Shadow Wind" Yue Ling glanced at the corpse on the ground indifferently, his eyes full of contempt, as if he was looking at an ant.

A figure jumped down from a tree in the courtyard. In a few moments, he was in front of Yue Ling and knelt on one knee. "What do you want, my lord?"

Yue Ling: "No one from the Li Mansion will be left alive. Before dawn, I want to see that there is no trace of the Li Mansion left in this Ziquan country."

For a secret like this, naturally the fewer people who know about it the better. This Li Qi really doesn't know what's good for him. He actually wants to use his own hand to get rid of Li Zhaozhao.

As for Li Zhaozhao, no matter he was a spiritual cultivator or not, it certainly wouldn't be easy for him to escape from the Li Mansion.

Li Qi really thinks that anyone can become a chess piece in his hands!

Hahaha! ! !

Yingfeng: "Yes, Your Majesty."

In the quiet night, someone has already stepped onto the Naihe Bridge.

Cool night breeze, flames all over the sky.

……

"Hey, have you heard about it? The Li family had a fire last night. It is said that no one in the mansion survived among the hundreds of people there."

"What? The Li family, one of the four great families?"

"Besides them, how many other Li families are there in Kyoto?"

"Even the Crown Princess who returned to the Li family yesterday was said to have died in the sea of ​​fire."

"Hey, you guys think, could it be that someone did this on purpose?"

"Keep your voice down. Don't say such things carelessly."

"Yes Yes Yes"

"..."

……

Overnight, the entire imperial city was filled with news that hundreds of people from the Li family had been burned to death overnight.

The Tea House

Yue Ling listened to the discussions outside, but drank his tea leisurely, as if what happened last night had nothing to do with him.

Ying Feng: "Master, can you check the whereabouts of Li Zhaozhao?"

Yue Ling chuckled, "Do you think she will still be in the mortal world?"

Ying Feng: "Master, I have never heard of someone who failed a talent test being able to practice again. Then how could Li Zhaozhao, as an ordinary person, possibly be able to go to the spiritual world?"

Yue Ling: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. If there is nothing like it in Kaiyang Continent, how do you know there is nothing like it in other places?

Who knows who Li Zhaozhao's mother is who disappeared inexplicably? "

I didn’t expect that such a small country like Ziquan could have such interesting things.

Tsk tsk tsk! ! !

He felt that this trip back to Ziquan Country was not without any gains.

at least

Master should also be interested in this matter.

Li Zhaozhao, oh, let me see how many secrets you have!

Yingfeng: "Master, what should we do next?"

Yue Ling: "Returning to the spiritual world, Master has sent a message asking me to participate in this competition.
