In Li Yi’s courtyard.
Li Shuang entered the room and said to Li Yi, “Young Master, Mr. Xu has left.”
“He has been reckless for so many years. Xu Wang is tactful, and the elders of the Xu family think highly of him. They think Xu Lingfeng is a trouble maker. Now that he hit Xu Wan, the elders will scold him again.”
“But Young Master, didn’t you like him because of this back then?” Li Xiu asked.
Li Yi shook his head. “If he continues like this, he can’t be the head of the Xu family to get the resources.”
“I don’t think so. Xu Wang takes pains to please the elders, but he can’t become the head of the family with his current cultivation level,” said Li Shuang.
Li Yi nodded and said, “You’re right. His schemes will be in vain when his strength is much weaker than Xu Lingfeng. ”
He held the jade pendant in his hand and said, “Even though the jade pendant is a fake one, the person who carved it knows about the patterns. If it is not a trick pulled by Xu Wang, this person might have something to do with my lost child.”
Li Shuang frowned and said, “If the child is still alive, Xu Wang will stir up trouble again.”
“So we must find that person first,” Li Yi said seriously.
Li Shuang lowered his head and secretly sighed in his heart. It had been so many years. Back then, the subordinate that Xu Lingfeng entrusted the child had died, and the child might have died as well. Li Yi and Xu Lingfeng knew this very well, but both of them still wished for a miracle.
…
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “The Xu and Li families are looking for me. A mysterious force is interested in me as well.”
Startled, Xu Muan asked, “Really?”
The reactions of the Xu family and Li family had proved that Xu Muan had something to do with them. They must be more careful. Perhaps Xu Muan was abandoned in the Barbarian Continent because of the internal strife of the Xu family.
Xu Muan lowered his head. He had done some research on the Xu family these days.
The Xu family in the Green Continent was big. It was said that an ancestor in the family advanced to Deity Transformation more than a thousand years ago. A Deity Transformation could normally live for four thousand years, so the ancestor was only two thousand years old and should be alive.
The Xu family didn’t have many descendants. Logically speaking, it should have enough cultivation resources for Xu Lingfeng and Xu Wang, but the brothers were on bad terms.
Xu Wang was said to be gentle, refined, and modest.
Xu Lingfeng was different. He was said to be a ferocious, aggressive bully.
Xiao Jinting had planned to visit Li Yi and test him after the pendant was forgotten by the people. However, the Xu family and Li family were making efforts to look for the owner of the pendant. The manager who had seen Xiao Jinting at the auction house had been questioned more than a hundred times. Therefore, Xiao Jinting had to postpone the plan.
…
At the Xu house.
“Father, the owner of the pendant is very cautious and has left no clues behind. The manager of the auction house doesn’t know him, but he says it’s a Nascent Soul,” said Xu Peng.
Xu Wang was startled. “A Nascent Soul?”
“Yes.”
“Father, Second Uncle is also looking for the owner,” Xu Peng said.
Xu Wang frowned. Many years ago, Xu Lingfeng had moved out of the Xu house after he fell out with Xu Wang. Xu Lingfeng was arrogant and did not follow the rules at all. However, many elders in the family still thought highly of him. Xu Wang wondered why they were so fond of Xu Lingfeng.
“Keep searching,” Xu Wang said.
“Father, even if the son of Second Uncle is alive, his cultivation won’t be high. He might be an old man now,” Xu Wan said.
“No matter what the child has become, Li Yi will forgive Xu Lingfeng, and they might make up if the child is found,” Xu Wang said with a serious expression.
…
At the Li house.
Li Yi frowned as he looked at the pendant in his hand and muttered, “Is it just a coincidence?”
“Young Master, maybe your son will come to you one day.”
Li Yi closed his eyes and sighed softly. “It has been so many years. What cultivation level do you think he has if he is still alive?”
Li Shuang fell silent. Li Yi’s son was a double spiritual root, which was an ordinary aptitude. In addition to aptitude, the most important thing for a cultivator was resources. If the child didn’t have sufficient resources, he might be a Qi cultivator.
Li Yi closed his eyes, a look of pain coming across his face.
Li Shuang looked at Li Yi and said, “Young Master, don’t be sad. Perhaps the child is blessed and has sufficient resources.”
“I hope so.”
“Young Master, Miss Li has come.” A servant entered the room and reported.
Li Shuang was annoyed. “What does this damn girl want?”
“Maybe she comes for Xu Wan,” Li Yi said with a lack of interest.
“She hasn’t married him yet, but she pities her little lover. What an ungrateful creature.” Li Shuang snorted with contempt.
Li Yi frowned and said, “Ask her to leave.”
“Third Uncle, help!” They heard Li Rao’s voice.
Li Shuang smiled sarcastically and said, “This damned girl seems to have broken in.” Li Yi was good at raising venomous worms and liked to keep them in his courtyard. The venomous worms he kept were deadly, and many Nascent Souls were afraid of them.
Li Yu let out a soft roar and the poisonous snakes and venomous worms surrounding Li Rao immediately retreated like waves.
Li Yi watched Li Rao enter the room with an indifferent glance. “What have you come here for?”
Li Rao looked at Li Yi and said with an aggrieved expression, “Third Uncle, Xu Wan was beaten up by Xu Lingfeng.”
Li Yi said indifferently, “I paid extra several thousand spiritual stones because of him. It serves him right.”
