皇庭

Yan Qi dismissed Prime Minister Si, then sighed, resting his chin on his hand, "Why haven't the elders from Tianxuan Continent who are recruiting disciples arrived yet?"

Yan Xuejiao said nonchalantly, "Father, are you sure you've got the time right?"

Yan Qi: "......"

The entire imperial court knew that Yan Qi was pretending to be confused, but only his silly daughter believed that her father was truly confused.

Yan Xuejiao: "Father, is there still no news about Li Hua?"

Yan Qi: "Didn't you dislike him?"

"What, you've fallen for someone else after they left?"

Yan Xuejiao put her hands on her hips and said coquettishly, "That's not true."

"It's outrageous that he dared to leave without saying a word."

"Father, would you please send someone to bring him back?"

Yan Qi: "Why did we bring him back? To play with you?"

Yan Xuejiao muttered to herself, "If he kneels down and apologizes to me, I will consider giving him a chance to serve me faithfully."

Yan Qi: "......"

Yan Qi shook his head and sent Yan Xuejiao away.

"Xuejiao is spoiled by him. Perhaps, staying in Yuntian Continent is the best choice for her."

"Without his protection, that girl, with her arrogant and conceited nature, would offend countless people."

Yan Qi thought to himself.

After leaving the palace, Yan Xuejiao did not return to the Prince's Mansion, but went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

凡界

A farmhouse in Lijiazhuang

General Li, having removed his military uniform and donned ordinary linen clothes, chopped firewood in the courtyard.

Li Hua: "Father, why not use spiritual power?"

General Li put down his axe and said, "Look at Grandpa Li next door. He's just an ordinary man, quite old, but he still chops wood with impressive skill."

General Li said, "Hua'er, don't worry, your father and mother can adapt to the life of ordinary people."

"Come, come and sit."

"Let me tell you about the old days."

Li Hua did as instructed and sat down next to General Li.

General Li looked at Li Hua and said with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, Hua'er has grown up so much."

Do you know why Dad came to settle down in Li Family Village?

Li Hua shook his head.

Along the way, there were many more prosperous and better-environmented places.

Li Hua truly had no idea why his father insisted on living in the remote and backward Li Family Village.

General Li looked into the distance and said, "This is where your father was born, and where your mother and I met."

"Grandpa Li next door, with his white hair and beard, is a descendant of your second uncle's family. To be honest, he should call your father 'great-grandfather'."

"Back then, I met your mother in a canyon in the mountains across the way."

"At the time, she was seriously injured and unconscious, and her father brought her back to the village..."

Looking at General Li's smiling face in the sunset, Li Hua felt relaxed.

General Li and his wife doted on him since he was a child.

However, this is the first time in so many years that we've sat together like this to reminisce about the past.

He only learned today that his mother was a legendary puppeteer.

Li Hua: "Father, is Mother really a puppeteer?"

General Li nodded. "Yes."

General Li: "Your mother is the only survivor of the Puppet Master Sect."

"I'm telling you all this today so you can understand your mother better. Don't feel burdened."

"Tomorrow, you should leave with Xiao Zhen."

"The time for Tianxuan Continent to accept disciples is coming up in a short period of time, don't miss it."

“That kid Li Zhen has some connection with your mother, so help him out if you can.”

Upon hearing this, Li Hua nodded without asking any further questions.

His father didn't say it explicitly, which naturally meant he had his concerns.
