"Awake?" Mrs. Liu imdiately turned her head to look at Li Yan. Then her eyes filled with doubt, "No? He looks even worse than before. He’s broken out into a sweat and his face is deathly pale."
"He must have been scared by what you said," Li Xuan now cheerily took out a feather from his sleeve, "Mother, look at what I have."
Li Yan didn’t even wait for him to tickle his foot with the feather, he just opened his eyes and glared at Li Xuan.
The expression on his face and the look in his eyes both clearly conveyed a single ssage to Li Xuan - this grudge will not go unavenged!
Li Xuan felt that with the ’Hanjiaojue’ by his side, he wasn’t afraid of reprisal from this guy. So, he returned his gaze without heeding it - If anyone offends , I will retaliate tenfold!
Li Yan was thinking to himself that this boy was really getting bold. He was just about to intensify the look in his eyes when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ear.
That was from Mrs. Liu, who had directly pinched his right ear in a full 360-degree turn.
"Are you quite capable, Yan?" Mrs. Liu’s voice was freezing cold, devoid of warmth: "The last ti Xuan got injured in the Underground, at least it was due to a dire situation. But you, Li Yan, have shown great promise in the Great Rectitude Martial Intention."
※※※※
That afternoon, Li Xuan was delighted to watch the scene that had once happened to him, being replayed with Li Yan.
anwhile, Mrs. Liu’s roar lasted a good half hour in the room, stopping only when Su Zhaojun, who was next door, woke up.
With the revival of this young wife, the originally tense atmosphere in the Earl’s mansion relaxed a bit.
However, when Li Yan, struggling to hold up his body, went to see Su Zhaojun, Li Xuan noticed that his sister-in-law’s gaze towards Li Yan was also icy cold, carrying a chilling hint.
Li Yan, as if foreseeing his fate, had a face that turned from white to green and vice versa, shivering all over.
Although Li Xuan couldn’t see the scene that was about to follow, he couldn’t disturb a husband and wife talking, could he?
That day, he ambitiously went to the training ground and began his daily Martial Law cultivation.
It’s heart-breaking to say that since the return of Su Zhaojun, the amount of ti spent practicing his four-door Cultivation Technique has increased to sixteen rounds.
Sotis if he couldn’t finish in the morning, he had to continue in the evening.
It couldn’t be helped, Su Zhaojun’s fist was harder than Jiang Hanyun’s. The proverb goes, ’your elder sister-in-law is like your mother’, but this one would hit him without needing a reason and much harder than Jiang Hanyun.
The only person in the mansion who was not afraid of Mrs. Liu’s authority was her.
Before, if Li Xuan rolled on the ground and played the victim, rather than practice martial arts even if it ant getting beaten up, Su Zhaojun would just let it go.
But the current Li Xuan didn’t want to get beaten for no reason.
And then during his practice, he saw Li Chengji carrying two knives walking towards him. One was his personal knife, and the other was one from the ancestral altar.
Li Xuan found it odd, and then noticed the marks on Li Chengji’s face had spread to his neck. At first, Li Xuan found it strange, another grape shelf collapse? This would be the third ti. But then he noticed sothing different in Li Chengji’s gaze at him.
His heart skipped a beat, realizing the retribution for inciting conflict might have finally co,
"You little rascal, always up to tricks and setting traps. "
Li Chengji snorted and stood in front of Li Xuan, "Draw your sword. Today it is my turn to feed you so moves. Attack with all your might, and let see how far your montum has co."
Li Xuan felt the situation was a bit ominous, his eyes flickering, "Isn’t this a bad idea? I can’t match your skills at my level. Oh, my shoulder hurts suddenly, I need to go find my mother for so dicine."
"What are you thinking?" Li Chengji glared, like a tiger eying its prey, "After the Battle of Beigu Mountain, I am almost definitely going to resu my post. Before the court issues its decree, I need to help you quickly grasp the true intentions of the ice and thunder technique, or lay the foundation."
"Really?"
Li Xuan looked at Li Chengji with uncertainty, "Are you lying to , old man?"
"Why would I lie to you? When have I ever lied to you?" Li Chengji scoffed and looked disdainful, "Xuan, after multiple battles and learning the Great Rectitude Martial Intention, you deserve to progress in ice and thunder. Quickly draw your sword. After resuming my post, I don’t know how busy I’ll be, and I don’t know when I’ll have ti."
Li Xuan was half-doubtful, but he thought that Li Chengji rarely lied, so he reluctantly drew his sword.
Of course, he had always coveted the martial intention of ice and thunder.
But less than ten moves in, Li Xuan knew he was still too naïve.
Indeed, the more honest a person seems usually, the more deadly they are when they decide to deceive you.
