Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xia Chen looked up and saw a girl in a blue shirt walking towards him with a serious face.  This girl is about two years older than Li Qitong. The two girls look quite similar, but she looks much more mature. She has a pair of autumn eyes with a cold look, plain eyebrows and elegant, with a little pink and white, she has a cold and glamorous style.  .  "Sister, I'm fine, and I also brought a friend back, who is my retainer!" Li Qitong said with a smile.  She turned around and said, "Xiao Chenzi, come here quickly. This is my sister. Her maiden name is Li Yatong. How about she? She looks good, right?"  "Keeper?" Li Yatong glanced at Xia Chen indifferently and frowned, "Now is an extraordinary period. Why do you bring people of unknown origin to your home? What if they are spies of the Yang family?" Li Qitong pouted her lips.  : "Sister, Xiao Chenzi is not a spy. He is a casual cultivator from outside. He happened to pass by Maplewood City and was bullied by the Yang family's servants. I rescued him and brought him back!" She did not say that Xia Chen killed him.  The matter of Yang Quan and others was something the two of them had discussed on the road.  "Rogue cultivator from outside? How did you happen to meet him by such a coincidence? And he happened to be bullied by the Yang family's servants?" Li Yatong looked suspicious, looked at Xia Chen and sneered, "Are you playing a trick? You want to deceive me.  My sister, who are you? What do you want to do by sneaking into the Li family?" As she spoke, a murderous look suddenly appeared on her pretty face.  Xia Chen said calmly: "Since the eldest lady doesn't believe me, then just leave now." After saying that, he walked out of the door without hesitation.  Li Yatong was stunned. She just threatened deliberately. If Xia Chen was really a spy, she would definitely try her best to explain, which would inevitably reveal loopholes in her language. She didn't expect that this young man would be so arrogant and leave without saying a word.  "Hey, Xiao Chenzi, don't leave!" Li Qitong immediately became anxious and stopped in front of Xia Chen, saying loudly, "Sister, are you being unreasonable? Are you accusing others for no reason? You are allowed to find retainers, but not me.  Are you looking for me?" Li Yatong said calmly: "Qitong, you are too young and have insufficient eyesight, so you can easily be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. This is for your own good. Even if this person is not a spy, he is just a piece of grass to leave so easily.  It¡¯s unreliable. Besides, you just said that you saved him from the Yang family¡¯s servants. He¡¯s not even as good as a servant. What¡¯s the point of my Li family having a servant like this?¡± ¡°Sister,¡±  You're going too far." Li Qitong said angrily, "I don't care, I want Xiao Chenzi to be my guest. If you don't agree, I'll go find dad!" She picked up Xia Chen and walked towards the hall.  Li Yatong's face changed: "Qitong, please don't be so willful?" The three of them walked into the hall, and saw a rosy-faced middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the hall, looking very worried.  Seeing Li Qitong come in, surprise appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "Qitong, you're back! Dad is really worried about you. Please don't run around anymore in the future!" Li Qitong ran over like a little bird and snuggled there.  Next to the middle-aged man, he said aggrievedly: "Dad, my sister bullied me. I finally found a friend from outside who was willing to be my retainer. She insisted on saying that he was a spy and kicked me away. Dad,  Can you let me keep Xiao Chenzi?" "Keeper? Xiao Chenzi?" The middle-aged man glanced at Xia Chen, then looked at Li Yatong, "Yatong, what's going on?"  He glared at his sister and said, "Dad, this person's origin is unknown, so we can't keep him here." Then he told her what had just happened.  The middle-aged man laughed: "What do I think? Yatong, you don't want to be a soldier. It's not easy for spies from the Yang family to sneak in. Since Qitong likes it, just accept this kid as a retainer. Let's  The Li family is not short of food." Li Qitong was overjoyed. She made a face to Li Yatong and said with a smile, "I knew dad was the best! Xiao Chenzi, dad agreed to keep you. I haven't met the master yet.  !" Xia Chen thought to himself, it seems that this is Li Dongkui. He seemed to be looking good, and he clasped his fists slightly: "Xia Chen, I have seen the head of the Li family." His expression was indifferent, and he only gave a slight greeting. Although he was polite, he was just polite.  Ordinary politeness, without any respect or awe.  Li Yatong was blocked by her father and came back. She was angry and shouted: "You are so presumptuous. My father agreed to take you in, which is a great favor. You don't kneel down to thank me. How uncultured are you?" Xia Chen didn't even look at her.  , as if I had never heard of it.  "You!" Li Yatong's face turned red with anger. As the eldest lady of the Li family, she was like a princess in Maplewood City. She was not the star of many stars everywhere, but she was ignored by this ordinary boy. She felt like?Ah.  Li Dongkui was also stunned, but seeing that Xia Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, he couldn't help but secretly marvel. He thought that this young man seemed ordinary, but he was not as servile as others, which was really rare.  So he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my little boy is brave enough to brave Maplewood City alone! Qitong, take Xiaochenzi down. You found him. From now on, he will only listen to you. Do you think it's okay?"  !¡± He heard Li Qitong call Xia Chen Xiaochenzi, and he also called him.  Xia Chen was speechless, thinking that I was in conflict with the person who entered the palace.  Li Qitong was overjoyed, hugged Li Dongkui's neck, and kissed him on the face: "Dad, you are so kind!" She let go of Li Dongkui, grabbed Xia Chen's arm, and gave Li Yatong a proud look: "Xiao Chen  Son, let¡¯s go! I¡¯ll arrange a place for you. What room do you want?¡± With that said, the two of them walked towards the door side by side.  Li Yatong said angrily: "Dad, you are too spoiled to Qitong. When will she grow up like this?" Li Dongkui smiled slightly: "She is still young. When she grows up, she will naturally become sensible! Yatong, you don't want it either.  I am always worried, so tiring. Some things are better to just let things take their own course. "Li Yatong was about to speak, when suddenly, a servant came in in a panic: "Master, Miss, great news for the Yang family!  The second son, Yang Quan, as well as his retainers Xu He, Xu Bing and several servants were all killed. Now the Yang family is collecting the bodies and looking for the murderer! " "What? Yang Quan was killed?"  Li Dongkui and Li Yatong were shocked.  "What's going on? Please explain clearly." Li Dongkui's face was solemn.  Xia Chen and Li Qitong looked at each other and stood at the door. They didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.  The servant said: "Master, I don't know the specific reason. I just heard that Yang Quan, two retainers, and several servants seemed to be looking for trouble with someone. It turned out that they were all killed together.  It's in front of a secluded alley, and it's not far from our Li family. Now this matter has become a big deal." "How did you die?" Li Yatong asked.  "He was beaten to death with a large amount of silver. Before the Yang family collected the body, there were still many people looting the silver." The servant said with a look of disbelief on his face.  I¡¯m afraid anyone who sees someone being beaten to death by money will find it incredible.  Li Dongkui and his daughter looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes. They actually used money to kill people. This method is really weird.  "How did the Yang family react?" Li Dongkui suddenly lowered his gaze and asked.  The servant shook his head and said, "There was no reaction. All the bodies were taken away. In addition, some of their servants were posting notices offering rewards for the murderer." "Okay, I understand. You can go down." Li Dongkui said.  The servant bowed and then left.  "Dad, that's great news. Just when the Yang family was about to attack us, it got off to a bad start." Li Yatong looked excited, "That Yang Quan did all kinds of evil, and relied on the power of the Yang family to dominate, and those people under him were not good people either.  You deserve to die!" Li Dongkui didn't say anything. He thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Yatong, please go down immediately and get the retainers and servants ready. From now on, patrol day and night, and the security area will be increased. Every incense stick will be used.  It¡¯s time to check on the Yang family and be ready to fight.¡± Li Yatong was startled: ¡°Dad, why are you so nervous? Didn¡¯t we kill Yang Quan?¡± Li Dongkui shook his head.  : "It has nothing to do with whether there is evidence or not. The question is who has the courage and strength to kill Yang Quan in Maplewood City. If you were a member of the Yang family, what would you think?" Li Yatong opened her eyes wide.  , surprised and said: "Does the Yang family think that our Li family did it?" "That's right!" Li Dongkui nodded, "The only ones who have the strength to kill Yang Quan are our Li family, Yang family, Yu family, and your fianc¨¦ Qin Luo in Maplewood City.  The Qin family, so there is no need for any evidence, everyone will think that we did it. Now the Yang family and the Yu family have formed an alliance, threatening us to hand over the treasure key, but because the Qin family and we are in-laws, they have not broken up yet.  It's shameless, but even so, the situation is tense. At this time, Yang Quan is suddenly killed, and the Yang family will definitely point the finger at us, and may start a war immediately, so we must deal with it with all our strength. " Xia Chen looked a little surprised.  One glance at Li Dongkui, and I didn't expect that the head of the family who only had the third level of acquired cultivation was quite shrewd, much better than some of the disciples of the Zhengxuan sect who had the third level of acquired cultivation.  "Dad, could it be that someone deliberately framed me??  Li Yatong said thoughtfully, "I just want to provoke a war between the Yang family and our Li family so that I can benefit from it."  " "No need.  Li Dongkui said without thinking, "The Yang family is already at odds with us in order to seize the treasure key. Sooner or later, they will start a war. Why are they provoking it?"  The Yu and Qin families are also allies of the Yang family and us, who else can benefit from this?  I guess it was Yang Quan who was domineering and provoked people he shouldn't have provoked, which resulted in a fatal disaster. However, he was just a small person and not important.  " In a few words, he analyzed the matter close to the truth. "Then I will make arrangements now.  "Li Yatong said.
