Chapter 388 The Li Family's Nezha 2
"We haven't been gone for long, brother, your child is already so big?"
There must be a reason why the Son of the World is called the Son of the World.
So it's quite reasonable that the four Li Xiangyis, through practice, learned to open spacetime rifts between several worlds on their own, right?
And after opening it, it would be only natural to go back to see your brother first, right?
But seeing a little kid with a small bun and dressed in red calling out "Dad" is a bit beyond imagination, isn't it?
With one younger brother leaving and four returning, Lee Sang-hyeon felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. He tried to explain, "It's a long story."
"Then let's get to the point."
Faced with four pairs of curious eyes, Li Xiangxian tried to change the subject: "Where's my senior brother?"
"My senior brother didn't come with us."
"That area is plagued by illness..."
“Fang Duobing is out in the world,” Li Xiangyi added before Li Xiangxian could interrupt, “Old Di is in seclusion, and there’s no one else here either. Go on.”
Li Xiangxian stopped struggling, beckoned to Nezha, pulled him to his side, and calmly replied, "Okay, that's right, I have a child."
That's it?
"It's gone."
Lee Sang-hyun was calm and collected; an older brother should be this dignified!
Before the four could continue speaking, Li Xiangxian directly introduced them to Nezha: "Nezha, these are your second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle. As for the specific order... you can decide for yourselves!"
"who?"
The youngest, Li Xiangyi, asked in surprise, "His name is Nezha?"
"That's right, I am Li Nezha!"
Nezha proudly puffed out his chest, very curious about these four uncles who looked almost identical in pairs, especially about the way they appeared.
Spacetime fluctuations... What happened to the martial arts world I was promised? How can someone travel through time so easily?
He doesn't know how, but he wants to learn!
The eldest, Li Lianpeng, stepped forward and, facing the child, suddenly felt a little ashamed: "I am your second uncle... Li... Lian'ou."
"I am your third uncle, Li Lianhua."
"I am your fourth uncle, Li Lianye."
“I am your fifth uncle, Li Xiangyi.”
Nezha's eyebrows twitched as he listened. He looked at the four of them with surprise and said directly, "Judging from your appearance, you are indeed all family, but judging from your names, it seems that only my father and fifth uncle are biological relatives."
"..." Li Xiangxian smiled and put his arm around Nezha behind him: "Kids like to speak the truth, don't mind it, uncle."
"..." Nezha's mouth didn't let them off the hook, and neither did Li Xiangxian's!
Li Lianhua smiled, put her arm around Li Xiangyi's neck, and explained to Nezha, "Actually, our parents only gave the children two names, Xiangxian and Xiangyi. So Xiangyi is a nickname we four share. Your fifth uncle's real name is Li Lianzi, right, Lianzi?"
Li Lianhua looked at Li Xiangyi with a "kind" smile. Li Xiangyi turned his head and saw Lian'ou and Lianye with equally "kind" smiles. He could only nod with tears in his eyes: "That's right, my name is Lianzi."
"Oh—" Nezha nodded. Luckily, the father he recognized was Li Xiangxian. Otherwise, he would have had a hard time getting past the first hurdle of mental preparation if he had recognized someone else.
The good news was that Nezha only said one word; the bad news was that Nezha's eyes spoke volumes!
Li Xiangyi and the other three looked at each other, but under the watchful eyes of the child's parents, they dared not utter a single word.
It wasn't until Nezha was sent away by Li Xiangxian to play that Li Xiangyi and the others had the opportunity to ask the questions that had been on their minds.
"Brother, Nezha isn't really your biological son, is he?"
Lee Sang-hyun politely rolled his eyes: "Am I an irresponsible person?"
That makes sense, Li Xiangyi realized. He really was his elder brother's biological son; it was impossible for him to have been lost and only found now that he was so old.
"Then he..."
“I took a liking to him, and Nezha is very talented, so I adopted him.” Li Xiangxian said it simply, but in reality, he was somewhat surprised when Nezha hugged his leg.
But looking into Nezha's round, clever eyes, he instantly thought of Xiang Yi from his childhood and couldn't help but soften his heart and take him in.
As for adoption, that's something that happens after we've gotten to know each other.
“Nezha…” Li Lianhua hesitated, not necessarily wanting to delve into the matter, but anyone with eyes could see that there was something wrong with Nezha. His gait and posture showed signs of martial arts training. But the skin on his fingers was clearly that of someone who had been pampered.
"Nezha is very good."
Lee Sang-hyeon gave a definite answer. Although Nezha's origins could not be found, Lee Sang-hyeon was certain that Nezha was a good child and the most suitable successor for him.
Seeing that Li Xiangxian had said this, Li Lianhua and the others naturally believed his judgment and treated Nezha with extra kindness.
Li Xiangyi and Nezha were "birds of a feather," often getting into trouble together and blaming it on Li Lian'ou, Li Lianhua, and Li Lianye. Then, they would both be punished by having their ears pulled by the patriarch, Li Xiangxian.
Li Lianhua would share his favorite osmanthus cake and pine nut candy with Nezha, Li Lianou would tell him all sorts of stories about the martial arts world, and Li Lianye would teach him his unique sword techniques and mental cultivation methods.
Oh, and there's also Fang Duobing, one of the four apprentices, who was also sent to him to do his bidding.
Oh right, and there's Lan Yan, the elusive uncle. Nezha couldn't help but think he looked a bit like Yang Jiao. But compared to Yang Jiao in the video, he seemed much lazier!
Moreover, this person is so outrageous that he wears a silk ribbon every day to pretend he's blind in order to keep his eyes closed! Could this be Yang Jiao, who orchestrated this whole scheme and instigated so many people to become traitors? Absolutely not!
Even Nezha was always glued to the rocking chair whenever he saw him.
Although this uncle was very generous, giving him all sorts of gold, silver, and secret manuals, it didn't stop Nezha from sneaking off to lie in his rocking chair when he wasn't around!
Okay, it's actually quite comfortable! The rocking chair is his now, hehe—
Li Xiangxian would teach him medicine, poisons, and witchcraft; he would teach him how to manage subordinates and judge people; he would punish him when he misbehaved; and he would also turn a blind eye to his playing around, just like... a biological father, no, even better than a biological father.
At night, Nezha lay on the bed with his legs crossed, a slight smile creeping onto his lips: "Okay, I admit, the father you chose is not bad, the uncles are not bad either, and the Li family is not bad either."
[Task completed, return channel open. Would you like to return?]
Seeing the suddenly pop-up screen, Nezha refused without thinking: "What's the panic? How can you be so irresponsible? My father entrusted Nan Yin to me. If I leave, what will happen to the people of Nan Yin?"
The light screen didn't speak again, but disappeared on its own. Nezha subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it; he was just responsible. That's right, purely responsible.
He is destined to inherit the Li family medical clinic, take care of the people of Nanyin, promote the Xiangyi Tai Sword, and become the number one sword god, spear god, and doctor in the world!
Yes, that's how heavy the burden on his shoulders is.
There's nothing we can do; after all, he's the Nezha of the Li family.
