At the Xu house.
“Father, Second Uncle has gone too far. Xu Wan just competed with him on the pendant. Why did he beat up Xu Wan?” Xu Peng said sullenly.
Xu Wan invited Xu Lingfeng to his wedding, but Xu Lingfeng didn’t refuse to go. Xu Wan was so angry that he retaliate Xu Lingfeng by competing with him at the auction. When the auction was over, Xu Lingfeng beat Xu Wan up.
Xu Lingfeng and Xu Wang were brothers, but they became enemies many years ago.
Xu Wang said with a grave face, “Do you remember what the pendant is like?”
“It’s an ordinary pendant carved from the Fire Yang Jade Heart.”
Xu Wang narrowed his eyes and shook his head. “Lingfeng would not have bidden for it if it was an ordinary pendant. It might be the pendant of his Ger.”
Xu Peng looked at Xu Wang and said, “Father, the pendant disappeared with Second Uncle’s Ger. Now that it shows up, does it mean that he’s still alive?”
“Maybe.”
Xu Wang frowned. Xu Lingfeng was a dozen years younger than him, but their cultivation level was the same. After he turned grown-up, Xu Lingfeng took an adventure and ran across Li Yi. They fell in love and got married. It was a good match for both families.
If nothing had gone wrong, Xu Lingfeng, with the support of the Xu family and the Li family, might have taken over the position of the Xu family’s head and won the Xu family’s resources.
Unfortunately, Li Yi and Xu Lingfeng’s son disappeared, and Li Yi broke up with Xu Lingfeng.
It had been many years, but Li Yi had not forgiven Xu Lingfeng. Xu Lingfeng had never remarried and had no children, so he got much less competitive for the position of the family head.
Now that the pendant appeared, did it mean their son came back?
Back then, when Xu Lingfeng was being hunted down, so he asked someone to take the child away. After that, the Xu family and Li family searched in vain for nearly a hundred years.
…
At the Li house.
Li Yi looked at the pendant and a damaged piece of Fire Yang Jade and frowned. “It’s not the pendant we are looking for.”
“Young master, isn’t it?”
Li Yi shook his head and said, “No, I cut the Fire Yang Jade Heart from this piece, so the pendant is supposed to have some reaction when it is together with the piece of jade that it was cut from. But this pendant doesn’t have any reaction, so it is not the same pendant.”
Li Shuang frowned and said, “But the pattern on the pendant is the same as the old one.”
“It looks the same,” Li Yi said with a serious expression.
“Ah Yi,” Xu Lingfeng entered the room.
Li Yi looked at Xu Lingfeng and asked, “Why do you come?”
“I come here to give you spiritual stones,” Xu Lingfeng said.
Li Yi sneered, “The Xu family has so many spiritual stones that you can squander recklessly.”
Xu Lingfeng put down the spiritual stones. “I’ve already taught that brat a lesson.”
“As an elder, you brazenly attacked the younger generation of the family. Aren’t you afraid that people will say that you are taking advantage of your age?” Li Yi coldly said.
Xu Lingfeng replied indifferently, “I don’t have any good reputation. I don’t mind that.”
“You are…” Li Yi helplessly shook his head.
Xu Lingfeng picked up the pendant and asked, “It isn’t the one, is it?”
Li Yi shook her head. “No, but it is very similar.”
“I went to talk with the manager of the auction house. He said that a mysterious man asked him to sell the pendant. The man took a blank card of spiritual stones. After the auction, the manager transferred the spiritual stones to that cad. That man didn’t show up,” Xu Lingfeng said.
Li Yi’s face darkened. “What does that man mean?” Did that man know where his son was? He made a fake pendant and tricked them to earn money?
At the thought of it, Li Yi frowned and felt annoyed.
After Li Shuang saw Xu Lingfeng off, he came back.
“Senior Lingfeng hasn’t figured it out, but he will sooner or later,” he said.
Xu Lingfeng’s face darkened and he said, “No, it’s my fault. It has nothing to do with him.”
After they got married, Li Yi asked Xu Lingfeng to be careful of Xu Wang. One mountain couldn’t accommodate two tigers. Even though they were brothers, Xu Lingfeng should be on guard against Xu Wang. However, Xu Lingfeng said Li Yi thought too much and didn’t his warning seriously.
After their son was born, Xu Lingfeng took the child to visit relatives. He encountered an assassination and tried to get away with several loyal subordinates.
Later, Xu Lingfeng was forced to give the child to one of his subordinates and then lured away most of the assassins. After Xu Lingfeng managed to escape from death, he lost contact with the subordinate.
Later on, Xu Lingfeng made an investigation and found the assassination had something to do with Xu Wang.
Xu Lingfeng was young and impulsive at that time. The child’s disappearance was a huge blow to him. When he found out that the child’s disappearance was related to Xu Wang, Xu Lingfeng took a sword and went to kill Xu Wang.
The elders of the family stopped him and accused him of being heartless to hurt his brother, putting him in a seclusion of three years.
The child disappeared, and Li Yi was grief-stricken. As a result, his cultivation was slowed down. He should have advanced to Nascent Soul long ago with his aptitude, but it got difficult for him because he couldn’t forget the past.
