807: Chapter 807: What Are You Doing?
When Bai Xiaofan stepped forward to knock on the door, Yuan’er took out the mask from her chest and gently put it on.
That mask—Yuan’er hadn’t worn it for a long ti.
When the door opened and the person inside saw Bai Xiaofan, they were so startled that they nearly collapsed onto the floor.
The events of that day when Bai Xiaofan was at the Li family remained vividly etched in the mory of every Li family mber.
Even though those incidents weren’t aid at the Li family, but rather, Bai Xiaofan rescued mbers of the Li family.
Nevertheless, Bai Xiaofan’s imposing reputation was still deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Li family mbers.
“Mr.
Bai… Mr.
Bai, please co in!”
The person who opened the door quickly regained their composure and hurriedly addressed Bai Xiaofan.
As for Yuan’er, who wore the mask and followed behind Bai Xiaofan, they did not recognize her.
Bai Xiaofan smiled faintly, holding Yuan’er’s hand, and walked into the Li family courtyard.
“Second Master… Second Master, Mr.
Bai is here!”
Everyone dashed swiftly inward, loudly announcing the news.
Currently, the Li family was fully under the control of Li Yuan, the Second Master, who had decisively taken up the mantle of leadership.
Li Jianguo, the old patriarch, now spent his days idly playing with birds and fish, living a leisurely life.
In the hall, Li Yuan froze upon hearing the servants’ shouts.
Although the Li family maintained so relations with Bai Xiaofan, going so far as to hand over twenty percent of the family assets to Su Shiqi, Bai Xiaofan hadn’t visited the Li house in ages.
Thus, upon recovering his senses, Li Yuan imdiately set aside his work and hurried to greet Bai Xiaofan with his family.
Bai Xiaofan’s sudden arrival left Li Yuan and the others apprehensive, worrying about what kind of trouble this visit might portend.
They were genuinely fearful that so unthinking junior of the Li family might have inadvertently provoked Bai Xiaofan.
If sothing like that had occurred, it could an unimaginable disaster for the family.
“Mr.
Bai, why didn’t you notify us in advance of your visit?
We could’ve prepared properly!”
Li Yuan saw Bai Xiaofan walking toward him, holding the hand of soone wearing a mask—a woman judging by her figure—and quickly greeted him with a forced smile.
“It was just during dinner that I suddenly thought of bringing a friend here for a visit.
I didn’t plan ahead to co here!”
Bai Xiaofan replied with a smile as he walked alongside Li Yuan into the Li family’s main hall.
At this ti, Li Jianguo had already been invited out by the family mbers.
“Old Master Li, how has your health been recently?”
Bai Xiaofan shook hands with the elderly man warmly, smiling as he greeted him.
“Not bad, thanks to Mr.
Bai’s blessings!”
Li Jianguo responded loudly, then asked hesitantly.
“Mr.
Bai, has so junior of our family offended you or your friend?
Please tell us right away—this old man will ensure they’re handed over to you for punishnt!”
Li Jianguo, as always, acted decisively, without any hesitation!
Upon hearing Li Jianguo’s words, all the Li family mbers present in the hall felt their hearts leap into their throats, their gazes fixed on Bai Xiaofan in terror, fearful that the na Bai Xiaofan would utter belonged to so younger mber of their family.
“No, truly no one has.
I simply brought a friend here for a visit.
We’ll sit for a while and leave.”
Bai Xiaofan hadn’t expected that rely bringing Yuan’er to visit could spark such an overwhelming reaction from the Li family mbers.
It seed his reputation over the recent years had indeed beco far too fearso.
To the extent that most people who saw him first wondered whether they had inadvertently provoked him.
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s explanation, Li Jianguo and Li Yuan cast their gazes toward Yuan’er, who stood at Bai Xiaofan’s side wearing a mask.
A hint of puzzlent flickered in the eyes of everyone present—they couldn’t discern who this masked person accompanying Bai Xiaofan could be.
However, shock gradually crept into the expressions of both Li Jianguo and Li Yuan.
“It’s… it’s… it’s…”
Li Jianguo’s hands trembled as he stared at Yuan’er, his voice laden with disbelief.
“Mr.
Bai, shall we move to the inner hall?”
Li Yuan, who had also recognized Yuan’er, stepped forward to steady Li Jianguo with a complex expression, softly suggesting as he looked between Bai Xiaofan and Yuan’er.
Bai Xiaofan held Yuan’er’s delicate hand, sensing her slight resistance.
He smiled gently at her.
Once they arrived at the inner hall, only Bai Xiaofan, Yuan’er, Li Jianguo, and Li Yuan remained—no one else was present.
“Yuan’er, you’ve finally co back to visit this old man!”
Li Jianguo spoke emotionally and reached out, intending to embrace Yuan’er.
But Yuan’er deftly evaded him, and in that instant, an almost imperceptible aura of killing intent locked onto Li Jianguo.
“You’re courting death!”
Yuan’er glared coldly at Li Jianguo, her voice laced with ice, as though she intended to obliterate him.
For a mont, not only Li Jianguo and Li Yuan but even Bai Xiaofan was stunned.
“Yuan’er, what are you doing?”
Bai Xiaofan turned his head, looking at Yuan’er and softly questioning her.
“Master, you brought here, and I ca.
But that’s all there is to it.
From the day I left with you, I’ve ceased to be part of the Li family!”
Yuan’er responded to Bai Xiaofan, her voice still cold and devoid of emotion, as if she were an unfeeling robot.
Listening to Yuan’er’s words, Li Jianguo fell to the floor with a loud thud, his aged eyes staring at Yuan’er in disbelief, looking at the granddaughter who had cared for him during his injuries.
Yet Li Jianguo’s gaze held no hint of hatred toward Yuan’er.
Because he knew it was his own fault—were it not for his decision to offer Yuan’er to the Black Witch Tribe, how could Yuan’er harbor such deep hatred for him and the Li family?
“Yuan’er, what nonsense are you saying?
That’s your grandfather—quickly apologize to him!”
Li Yuan sternly reprimanded Yuan’er, who was wearing the mask.
During Yuan’er’s ti in the Li family, Li Yuan had treated her relatively well compared to others.
Upon hearing Li Yuan’s scolding, Yuan’er moved her slender hand, and a gleaming sword appeared.
In the next mont, the sword had already been placed against Li Yuan’s throat.
“On account of your past kindness to , I won’t kill you this ti.
But if there’s ever a next ti, I won’t show rcy.
My return to the Li family this ti is solely because my master brought along.
So don’t bother bringing up ‘family ties’ to .
After all, it was you who severed those ties yourself!”
Yuan’er spoke indifferently, her beautiful eyes glinting with the chilling sharpness of killing intent.
Both Li Jianguo and Li Yuan understood fully that at this mont, Yuan’er truly would kill them.
For a while, neither of them dared to speak a word, remaining frozen in place.
Even Bai Xiaofan felt exasperated—his initial thought had been to bring Yuan’er to the Li family, believing their reparations to Yuan’er might shift her focus away from incessant cultivation.
Yet to his surprise, the visit had only made Yuan’er even colder!
