His gaze unconsciously drifted towards Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting again, hoping they would come out and help him out of this predicament.
But the dining table seemed to be divided into two parts: one part depicting the heartwarming family scene between Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting, and the other part showing the story of a wicked girl and a pitiful soul, Li Yiyi.
"Li Hun, say something! Why aren't you saying anything?"
The death knell sounded again. In the past, when Li Su sat at home, head bowed, trying to seduce Li Yiyi, Li Hun had even mocked her.
He thought Li Su had no brains or courage, but when it was his turn, Li Hun truly realized how good Li Su's patience was.
Li Su had persisted for over a month, while this was only the second day—the second day!
"I didn't mean to."
"It wasn't intentional, it wasn't intentional, what else can you say besides that? You're just a broken record..."
Li Yiyi was still rambling on and on, and Li Hun wished he could faint.
Yesterday he was still dreaming about the future because he was staying at Li Yi's house; today, Li Hun just wants to leave as soon as possible.
Indeed, distance makes the heart grow fonder.
There was no other way; Li Hun used the all-powerful voice of the heart once again.
I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to. I had ulterior motives, but I swear, I really didn't steal anything.
[I want to get close to Yi Yi and become good friends with her. My main motivation is to save her; I don't want Li Yi Yi to follow the same path as Long Tian's designs. Yi Yi is so wonderful; she deserves someone better.]
Before coming to find Li Yiyi, Li Hun had already planned what to say. At that time, he was thinking about what he truly wanted to say.
Right now, Li Hun felt as if he was being forced to say these words.
Li Hun realized the significant difference between being proactive and being passive.
Li Yiyi's words came to an abrupt halt, and Li Hun's ears were finally at peace. He stole a glance at Li Yiyi and saw that familiar look of guilt in her eyes again.
"Alright, let's eat. After we eat, let's go somewhere."
He'll find a place where his talents will be put to good use.
Given Li Yiyi's terrible temper, Li Hun didn't expect him to apologize; he was just hoping to let him off the hook for now.
After realizing what she was thinking, Li Hun felt incredibly pathetic.
His initial demand was to win over Li Yiyi, but within just a day or two, his demand changed to Li Yiyi leaving him alone and not bothering him.
The food in his mouth no longer tasted good, and he barely ate a few bites until he left Li Hun.
They finally left; this was what Boss Li and Jiang Yuting had in mind.
The two looked at each other blankly, completely bewildered. They couldn't believe their daughter's talent for causing trouble; they wondered where she'd learned it from.
Suddenly, they felt a strong sense of admiration for Li Hun, who could remain silent even when his daughter was causing such trouble.
As expected of a legendary ninja god, he's just not very kind-hearted.
"Did your daughter find out what you did last night?"
Last night's events referred to helping Li Hun fend off the Soul-Capturing Bell. Boss Li knew this clearly, and looking smugly at Jiang Yuting, he said confidently.
"There won't be any problems."
"That's fine, even if it fails."
He flashed a bright smile, which sent a chill down Li Laoda's spine.
"Honey, there won't be any problems. I swear on my integrity."
Jiang Yuting glanced at Boss Li and shook her head. Boss Li didn't deserve to possess any kind of character.
If people had any sense of morality, they wouldn't be here.
As if seeing through the meaning in Jiang Yuting's eyes, Boss Li felt rather embarrassed. He hadn't meant it; it was all for his daughter.
Li Yiyi had no idea what Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting were talking about behind her back. She brought Li Hun straight to find Long Tian without even trying to hide it.
Long Tian rarely frequented any particular area; it was mostly frequented by shady characters and hooligans. Li Hun had been to this place before; a few figures walked past ahead of him, and they happened to be people Li Hun recognized.
The man who broke his leg,
I really forgot. Li Su cleaned up, but the ones who did the dirty work haven't been dealt with yet.
"Li Hun, why did you stop? Keep going!"
Upon seeing his enemy, Li Hun's emotions surged, and he unconsciously stopped. Li Yiyi immediately noticed the strange look in Li Hun's eyes as he looked at those people.
After walking a few steps, Li Yiyi stopped and looked at Li Hun with a puzzled expression.
"Okay, I'm coming right now."
Looking in the direction where the group had disappeared, Li Hun sent something small over there. There was that familiar fluctuation of energy; this time, Li Yiyi clearly saw what Li Hun had thrown out.
It's a talisman, the kind she often uses, and the aura emanating from it is the same as hers.
In an instant, Li Yiyi considered all sorts of reasons, finally settling on the most likely one.
Perhaps there was a traitor within the sect. She had read the sect's history; there was indeed a traitor thousands of years ago, and his whereabouts were now unknown.
That traitor, like her, had a chance, but wasn't as lucky. After losing his body, his soul could only hide through a medium, which is how the old man in the jade pendant came to be.
By chance, Li Hun obtained this medium, which the traitor then disguised as a bewitching substance to lure Li Hun into doing his bidding.
The reason for targeting her was simply because of her good fortune, which would be useful to traitors. As for Li Hun's connection to Li Su and Long Tian's things, that's even easier to explain.
The world is full of wonders, and there are countless rare treasures in the cultivation world. It would be an easy task to take out a few to confuse Li Su and Long Tian.
The difference lies in the fact that Li Su was resolute and not swayed, while Long Tian was consumed by it.
In just a few minutes, Li Yiyi had filled in the blanks in her mind. This was the best reason; besides this, Li Yiyi couldn't find any other explanation she could believe.
