Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Li Xuanji Thirty Years Ago
Cheng Dongliang and a few others left the room, and Li Xiaoyao sat face to face with Xiao Dingguo. Xiao Dingguo had already smoked three cigarettes, his face was full of worry, but he hadn’t said a word.
“Huh~” Blowing out a puff of smoke, Xiao Dingguo finally spoke.
“Has Ah Ya called you?”
Li Xiaoyao’s eyebrows knitted together, and he asked, “Is there a problem?”
“Yeah,” Xiao Dingguo said, “So ti ago, she told she wanted to stay in Jindu to sort out the acquisition of the Zheng Family.”
“And then?” Li Xiaoyao knew sothing must have happened, otherwise Xiao Dingguo wouldn’t have broached this topic with him. He just didn’t know exactly what had occurred.
...
“A few days ago, Ah Ya told the Tang Family from Jindu intervened halfway through and is competing with her for the Zheng Family’s assets.”
“The Jindu Tang Family? What’s their background?” Li Xiaoyao wasn’t very familiar with the various forces in Jindu, but their willingness to jump in halfway through suggested the family was not weak.
“The Tang Family has a strong foundation in Jindu. It is said they have an ancestor who was a founding general,” said Xiao Dingguo. “The Tang Family keeps a low profile, but they have significant connections in both the business and political circles.”
“I understand,” Li Xiaoyao said, his ten fingers interlaced and slightly bent. “I’ll take care of it.”
“Thank you, Xiaoyao,” Xiao Dingguo expressed gratefully.
Li Xiaoyao smiled and shook his head, saying, “No need to be so formal, Ah Ya’s problems are my problems. Anyone who bullies her is bullying .”
…
After coming out of the room, Cheng Yiyi imdiately ca over and asked, “When am I going over?”
“In a little while,” Li Xiaoyao said, taking out his phone to book a flight.
“In a little while?” Cheng Yiyi snorted coldly. “Li Xiaoyao, do you find it amusing to toy with ?”
“Hmm?” Li Xiaoyao looked at her. “What do you an? When have I toyed with you?”
“Forget that dicine God Valley, go there by yourself,” Cheng Yiyi threw out this sentence and turned to leave.
Li Xiaoyao reached out and grabbed her. “Stop making a fuss.”
“Don’t touch ,” Cheng Yiyi struggled to break free, but Li Xiaoyao held her tight, and with a slight pull, he brought her in front of him.
“Co with to Jindu. After sorting things out there, I’ll take you to dicine God Valley imdiately,” Li Xiaoyao looked into her eyes. “I don’t expect you to understand , but I want you to know that you hold a very important place in my heart.”
“You… let go,” Cheng Yiyi’s gaze fluttered, not daring to look into his eyes, her heart pounding like a trapped fawn.
Li Xiaoyao smiled and let go of her hand. “Go talk to Uncle Cheng. We’ll head to Jindu in a bit.”
“Okay, got it,” said Cheng Yiyi, fleeing as if to escape.
…
Below the Taihang Mountains, in Qingyang City, a Gulfstream jet glides and lands on the Li Family’s private airfield.
As the plane cos to a stop and the cabin door opens, a group of young people with extraordinary deanor steps out. So young people are missing arms, so are missing a leg, others are pale-faced. Essentially, most of them are injured in so way.
Despite the serious injuries, there was an undeniable excitent and pride on their faces.
Indeed, pride.
They had returned from their trials in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and the very fact that they had co back alive was proof enough that they were among the Li Family’s finest youth. The completeness of their bodies was inconsequential. What mattered was the great power and experience they had gained from this ordeal.
Beneath the plane, led by Elder Li Yiming, the mbers of the Li Family had been waiting for so ti.
“Welco back!” Li Yiming said with a smile on his face, speaking loudly.
A group of young people jumped down from the plane and embraced their fellow clansn.
A man in his forties, the last to erge from the cabin, looked at the scene below. Even his usually stern and indifferent face couldn’t help but soften with a hint of a smile.
The man descended, and Li Yiming examined him before asking, “Was your journey to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains smooth?”
“Very smooth. Everyone was very dedicated. This training was completed well by all.” The man smiled. “You’ve had concerns, Third Uncle.”
“During the ti you led the clan mbers in training, so things happened.” Li Yiming paused thoughtfully for a few seconds, his smile slowly fading, lending a somber tone to the conversation.
“Chengfeng,” Xie Nan ran up from behind, smiling as he looked at the man.
The man was Li Chengfeng, the current Family Head of the Li Family from Xuan Country.
“Nan Nan,” Li Chengfeng gave Xie Nan a hug, and Xie Nan asked, “Where’s Peng Cheng?”
Li Chengfeng looked towards the joyous crowd, where a young man, though happy, seed more composed than the others. This young man was Xie Nan’s and Li Chengfeng’s son, Li Pengcheng.
Xie Nan left him to walk towards Li Pengcheng.
Li Chengfeng smiled, glancing at his clan mbers, then said in a lowered voice, “Let’s talk when we get back.”
Upon returning to the clan, Li Chengfeng didn’t organize a eting right away, but rather, in the courtyard, he began discussing the events that had occurred during his absence with Li Yiming.
“Where are Great Uncle and Second Uncle?” After arriving back at the clan, Li Chengfeng noticed that the other elders were absent, leaving only Li Yiming present.
“Aika Continent and Hui Country have been unsettled lately. It seems a Secret Realm has been discovered, and they’ve gone to investigate,” Li Yiming leaned back in a wooden chair, rhythmically tapping on a stone table as he said, “Chengfeng, do you rember what happened thirty years ago?”
“Thirty years ago?” Li Chengfeng’s brow furrowed, “What are you referring to, Third Uncle?”
Li Yiming stopped tapping, looking at him and said word for word, “Li Xuanji.”
Li Chengfeng’s expression shifted many tis at that mont, and finally, he let out a long sigh, “Why bring her up, Third Uncle?”
“Thirty years ago, she ca from The Third Realm and t you. Twenty-eight years ago, when your son was born, her family sent people who took her away and intended to kill your son,” Li Yiming spoke as if he were an outsider, recounting everything with a calm voice.
Li Chengfeng’s hands on the stone table clenched into fists, his veins bulging.
“Stop, Third Uncle,” Li Chengfeng took out a cigarette and inhaled several deep drags down to the filter. He lit up another, and after smoking five in a row, his emotions began to stabilize.
Staring at the distant blue sky and white clouds, Li Chengfeng’s gaze was slightly vacant, “Let the past stay in the past.”
“What if…”
“What if the child is still alive? What then?”
“Stop, Third Uncle, please, no more,” Li Chengfeng suddenly stood up, his fists slamming hard onto the stone table, which crumbled into powder in that mont.
Li Yiming spoke earnestly, “Chengfeng, this is what I needed to talk to you about. That child may indeed be alive. I’ve seen him; he looks very much like you. That deanor, that temperant, it can’t be imitated.”
Li Chengfeng was shocked, looking incredulously at Li Yiming, his voice trembling with excitent, “Third Uncle, are you… are you telling the truth?”
“Do you think I would joke about sothing like this with you?” Li Yiming said, “I had Li Tu compile so data. You can have a look when it’s ready. If you’d like to et him, I will send soone to notify him.”
