Chapter 439
Xu Lingfeng had been investigating in vain for a long time, and he felt depressed.
Li Yi looked at Li Shuang and said, “He hasn’t found out anything, has he?”
Li Shuang shook his head and replied, “He found something, but I asked our people to divert his attention away.”
Li Yi sighed and said, “He’s been foolish, but he gets smart at the wrong time.”
Li Shuang said worriedly, “Young Master, Mr. Xu treats Muan in a weird manner. I’m worried.”
Li Yi said indifferently, “It’s fine. I see that Muan likes Lingfeng.”
Li Shuang didn’t say anything else.
Looking at the Golden Bees flying in the sky, Li Shuang frowned and said, “I wonder how Elder Xiao manages to keep so many Golden Bees. I heard that he came from a poor family. He doesn’t go bankrupt with the bees.”
Li Yi said lightly, “He can sell royal jelly for spiritual stones, which is sufficient to keep the bees.”
Li Shuang nodded and said, “That’s right. Elder Xiao also raises a group of Golden Red-tail scorpions. I wonder how he manages to keep so many insects.”
Li Yi said “He’s Muan’s husband. The stronger he is, the better.”
…
Li Yi didn’t allow Xu Lingfeng to enter his courtyard, so the latter climbed over the wall.
Li Yi kept venomous insects and grew poisonous herbs in the yard, but Xu Lingfeng knew them well, so he didn’t meet any obstacles.
Perhaps he sneaked in a lot, so he made little noise.
Xu Lingfeng scanned the house with his soul force and found that Li Yi and Xu Muan were chatting happily in the garden.
Several Golden Red-tail Scorpions scurried around them.
Li Yi was surprised to see Xu Lingfeng. “Did you climb over the wall?”
Xu Lingfeng nodded, “Yeah.”
Li Yi said, “Aren’t you afraid to trigger the restriction?”
Xu Lingfeng replied indifferently, “It’s okay. I’m not afraid at all.”
Li Yi said sulkily, “But I’m afraid. I took pains to set up the restriction, and I don’t want you to sabotage it. If you don’t have anything else to say, go away.”
Xu Lingfeng complained, “Yi, why do you drive me away every time I come? Previously, you chatted with Xiao Jinting all the time, and now you are having a good time with the toyboy.”
Xu Muan was speechless. Toyboy?
Li Yi’s face darkened. He wished to kill Xu Lingfeng. “What are you talking about?”
Xu Lingfeng saw that Li Yi was angry, and he said sullenly, “I have something important to talk to you about.”
Li Yi looked at him and asked helplessly, “What is it?”
“I found that someone bought a Fire Yang Jade heart from Hermit Rock Heart two months ago. If we can track down the buyer, we will know who forged the pendant and fooled us. I’ll beat him up,” said Xu Lingfeng in excitement.
Li Yi looked at Xu Lingfeng and felt desperate. He said, “You don’t need to investigate it. If your nephew had not competed against me, I wouldn’t have bought the pendant at such a high price. The auction house didn’t say the pendant was related to the Li and Xu families.”
Xu Lingfeng smiled awkwardly and said, “I know. But Hermit Rock Heart told me that the person who bought the Fire Yang Jade heart didn’t look like a decent man. There could be something wrong.
Li Yi was speechless.
Xu Lingfeng patted his chest and said, “Yi, don’t worry. I’ll track down the sneaky man.”
Li Yi said weakly, “Don’t exhaust yourself. It’s fine if you can’t find him.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Elder Xu, don’t force yourself on that.”
Xu Lingfeng glared at Xu Muan angrily and said, “Are you looking down on me?”
Xu Muan smiled and said, “I’m worried.”
Xu Lingfeng asked, “Why?”
Xu Muan replied, “I’m worried that you can’t bring yourself to punish your nephew. It’s simple. Your nephew bought the jade heart and forged the pendant. He took advantage of Mr. Li and made him pay a huge sum of money for the pendant.”
“I heard that Xu Wan was going to get married at that time. Perhaps he needed money for the wedding.”
Li Yi admired the lie Xu Muan told, thinking, “If I hadn’t known the truth, I would have been fooled by Muan.”
Xu Lingfeng glanced at Xu Muan and asked, “Are you alienating me from my nephew?”
Xu Muan said innocently, “I’m just telling you one of the possibilities.”
Xu Lingfeng snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Xu Muan watched him go away and said in disbelief, “Does he believe what I said?”
Li Yi said, “He’s simple. I guess he believes most of it.”
Xu Muan was speechless.
After a while, he said, “Father doesn’t seem to like me.”
Li Yi looked at Xu Muan and said, “Don’t worry. He’s like that.”
Xu Muan smiled and said, “It’s fine. Are you going to hide it from him?”
Li Yi shook his head and said, “If he knows about this, Xu Wang will know before long.”
