Chapter 351: I will make the dead reflect on themselves when I return
"Um?"
Hearing this voice, Yan Ren's eyes were immediately filled with confusion, because he could clearly hear that this was clearly his father's voice.
But why was Dad scolding me before I even entered the room? Was there something wrong? Sure enough, the next second, a pair of big feet stepped into the door of the room, and a dignified middle-aged man walked in with a gust of wind, looking menacing, and many Yan family generals followed behind him.
It was Yan Ren’s father, Yan Linan, who was in charge of the second branch of the Yan family.
He is considered a real powerful figure in Yanling City.
But it seems that he is not the leader, just a way-maker. In the center of the crowd is a woman in a black cloak.
The woman was covered in a cloak, with a calm face, and her age was hard to tell. But her eyes showed a sense of vicissitudes, indicating that she was definitely not young. There was also a strong but not intense pressure around her, which made people who approached her feel the invisible pressure.
Yan Ren seemed to know this woman. When he saw her face, he immediately showed a look of great awe and shouted loudly, "Third Grandma?"
The woman he called grandma stood at the door, motionless, without answering or speaking, just watching quietly.
Yan Linan strode forward, came to Li Chu, and said with a smile: "Hey, is this Li Chu? I wonder what my son did to offend you? Please rest assured, I will discipline him severely after returning."
"Dad..." Yan Ren said weakly, "I didn't offend that little Taoist priest."
"Shut your mouth!" Yan Linnan suddenly became furious and slapped him.
Snap——
The palm strike was so fierce that Yan Ren flew sideways, knocking down a table before falling to the ground, and he was unable to get up for a while.
Everyone present was shocked.
"Young friend Li Chu should be my equal. You should call him Uncle Li. You don't know any etiquette at all." Yan Linnan said angrily.
He looked at Li Chu again, and heard Li Chu say calmly: "He really didn't provoke me."
"Oh." Yan Linan immediately smiled and rubbed his hands. "That's good. I was just worried that you would have a conflict. Why is the atmosphere so tense? When I get back, I will definitely ask Yan Ren to reflect on this..."
The smile was so kind.
Just like a kind old father.
Yan Ren hadn't gotten up yet, but tears were already streaming down his face.
He even felt a little bit insecure in his heart. Who is the father of this middle-aged man who was so cruel to him but so kind to Li Chu?
Yan Linnan looked around again, then turned around and said to the woman, "It seems nothing happened. No one was injured, and there was no big mess. Haha, I even alarmed you, Third Aunt, it's really..."
"Dad..." Yan Ren struggled to get up and came over to say, "No one was injured, but someone is dead..."
"Who?" Yan Linnan frowned, seeming extremely displeased.
"It's Fourth Uncle's son... Yan Wuxie." Yan Ren gestured at the air with his hands, "He was standing here just now, such a big and living person, and was killed by that little Taoist..."
At this point, he felt his father glare at him fiercely. Yan Ren thought he had addressed him incorrectly, and quickly changed his words: "Uncle Li killed him with one sword..."
"Shut up!" Yan Linnan suddenly became furious again and slapped him again with his backhand.
Bang——
This slap was harder than the last one. Yan Ren changed direction and flew out again, smashing another table and seeing the sky full of stars.
"How could Taoist Xiao Li kill someone in public?" Yan Linan shouted, then looked around with a fierce look in his eyes, "Who saw it?"
The younger generations of the Yan family present were all from the side branches and had always been afraid of him like a tiger. The other good girls dared not even utter a word. They were all trembling in fear when he looked at them. How could anyone dare to say a word?
Everyone could see that Yan Linnan was determined to protect the young Taoist priest, so naturally no one would dare to take this bad luck.
"Hmph..." Yan Linan snorted, just when he was about to relax.
Suddenly, Li Chu said, "I did kill Yan Wuxie."
If it weren't for his really calm, frank tone, full of self-righteousness.
Yan Linnan would most likely interpret this as a provocation.
It was as if he was saying... I'll kill you, what can you do? Hit me? Are you angry? "..."
Yan Linan was silent for a moment, then he smiled amiably again: "Even if Taoist Xiao Li killed someone, there must be a reason... I will make the deceased reflect on himself when I return..."
Yan Ren's tears flowed down his swollen cheeks like a river...
"Yan Wuxie abandoned his wife and daughter, and deserved death. It is indeed not a mistake to kill him." The woman suddenly said, "Your master wrote it very clearly in the letter he wrote to me."
Yu Qian'an did write a handwritten letter at that time, but Li Chu and the others did not read the content and just left it with the token.
It seems that the person the master entrusted is indeed this woman.
In fact, it could have been guessed long ago. Who doesn’t know that Master Yu only writes letters to women?
"Haha, that's good, then everything will be fine." Yan Linan seemed to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the family general beside him, "Carry this rebellious son, let's go!"
A large group of people came forward, lifted up Yan Ren, who was stunned by his father, and left the room.
Yan Linan came to the woman and whispered, "Then Third Aunt, I'll go back first?"
"Go ahead." The woman glanced at him and said, "The children of your second branch need to be strictly disciplined. How could the Yan family be passed down to someone with such a character?"
“When I first saw Yan Wuxie, I didn’t think he was his father’s biological son!” Yan Linan said heavily, “He is at best… a temporary disciple.”
"Third aunt, please rest assured..."
"I will go back and make arrangements right away... No, I will investigate immediately. I will definitely expel him from the second branch of the Yan family!"
Yan Linnan led his people away trembling with fear.
The others in the room also took the opportunity to slip away.
Suddenly, Li Chu, the other two and the woman were the only ones left in the huge room.
"Thank you, senior, for your moral support." Li Chu said.
Naturally, he didn't think that Yan Linnan was really that easy to talk to. The only explanation was that the woman in front of him was helping him.
"The Yan family has many branches and nearly 10,000 people in the family, so it's inevitable that there will be good and bad people. But people like Yan Wuxie are just exceptions." The woman smiled for the first time, "I hope it won't affect your impression of the Yan family."
"No." Li Chu shook his head.
"Give my regards to your master." The woman said this lightly again, then turned and left.
Not even a name was left.
It can be seen that he is also a very cold person.
Looking at the woman's indifferent back, Wang Longqi shook his head with emotion, "I'm tired of saying Master Yu is awesome..."
"The heritage of Deyun Temple... is truly worth my lifelong study." Du Lanke also sighed with deep emotion.
…
In Deyun Temple.
"A-choo——" Yu Qian'an sneezed violently.
Then he rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Thinking of me first, scolding me second, and getting a cold third... I don't know who is thinking of me... A-choo——"
Before he could finish his words, he sneezed for the second time.
On the opposite side, Li Maoqing wiped his face with a grim look.
He said coldly: "I don't know who scolded you."
“Haha, that’s not the case.” Yu Qian’an shook his head and smiled, saying, “It’s just that both of us missed me.”
"I have lived two lives and have traveled a lot, and have seen a lot of things in the world, but this is the first time I have seen someone as thick-skinned as Master Yu." Li Maoqing said.
"There are three main points to practicing Taoism, which are nothing more than being bold, careful, and thick-skinned." Yu Qian'an did not refute, but talked about it, "None of them can be missing..."
Li Maoqing couldn't help but ask: "Is the Tao you practice... righteous?"
"Haha." Yu Qian'an smiled without saying anything.
"Actually, I'm very curious. Taoist Priest Li came to the Yan family to cause trouble. A family as big as the Yan family must have its own majestic laws. Even if he can kill people by force, it is bound to make things worse. What kind of acquaintance did you find who could settle this kind of thing?" Li Maoqing asked again.
"She's just an acquaintance of the Yan family." Yu Qian'an said, "Back then, everyone in the martial arts world called her Miss Yan San. Now, everyone in the martial arts world calls her Grandma Yan San..."
"Grandma Yan San!" Li Maoqing was surprised. "She is the youngest land immortal in the Yan family. If we don't count those old guys whose lives are in doubt, she may be the only land immortal in the Yan family. Master Yu... actually has something in common with her?"
"When we were young, we had some acquaintance with each other."
Yu Qian'an said simply, "It's been many years since we last met."
"Just a slight acquaintance?" Li Maoqing looked suspicious, "Then why would she help you deal with your family?"
"Well... friendship is only one aspect." Yu Qian'an said with a smile: "On the other hand, all upright people will naturally help punish the villain. And..."
"I also explained it in the letter I wrote to her..."
The old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "My disciple alone may be able to destroy the Yan family."
As soon as these words came out, Li Maoqing's hands seemed to tremble, "Are you joking, Master Yu?"
"Master Imperial Master has been living in my Deyun Temple for quite some time. Am I joking? What do you think?" Yu Qian'an said calmly.
Li Maoqing was silent for a moment.
Then he raised his head and asked, "Master Xiao Li...what exactly is going on?"
"What did the Imperial Master ask?" Yu Qian'an asked back.
"He is clearly not the reincarnation of a powerful being, but in just this life... eighteen or nineteen years, he has cultivated to such an unfathomable realm." Li Maoqing's expression became serious, "This can no longer be explained by talent."
"I don't know." Yu Qian'an shook his head.
Li Maoqing didn't seem to believe him, and looked directly at Yu Qian'an: "Master Li... is it really..."
He slowly uttered two words: "Xianyuan."
"Oh?" Yu Qian'an smiled again, "Master Imperial Master also knows about Immortal Fate?"
"Although I didn't catch up with that era, I have heard a little bit about it... Because of the matter of immortal fate, there was a lot of trouble in Jiangnan." Li Maoqing said: "Please tell me the truth, Master Yu."
"To be honest, it is..." The old Taoist priest did not keep the secret and shook his head directly: "No."
"Huh?" Li Maoqing seemed unconvinced.
"I know you have been suspicious of Li Chu these days, but I can tell you very clearly that my apprentice is a good person."
The old Taoist priest was unusually serious.
"And he is a noble person, a moral person, a pure person, a person who is free from vulgarity, a person who is beneficial to the people..."
"Yes..." Li Maoqing also smiled, "Master Li is indeed..."
"You don't have to laugh. I know what you're thinking." Yu Qian'an continued, "You people in the court are used to seeing filth, so you tend to think the worst of everything. Since ancient times, you have a set of ruthless ways of doing things. But I advise you not to have any bad thoughts about my apprentice. Although he is upright, he is not stupid."
"If you want to do something to him, even if he agrees, I, as his master, will not agree."
"What bad intentions could I have..."
Li Maoqing's smile seemed forced.
"The most terrifying thing is that they use their self-proclaimed righteous faces to do cruel things." Yu Qian'an pointed to the wellhead on one side and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you ask me what was under the well before?"
"What?" Li Maoqing asked.
Yu Qian'an leaned close to him and whispered something.
“This!” Li Maoqing jumped up from the stone bench in shock, pointing at Yu Qian’an, trembling, “It turned out to be you…it turned out to be you…”
After a while, he calmed down and sat back down.
"There is no normal person in your Deyun Temple."
"Haha." Yu Qian'an laughed again: "Of course, I know that the State Master still treats us as friends. But when you return to the court in the future, you will inevitably have to do things for them. It's just a kind reminder, anyway... Don't say I didn't warn you..."
"I understand." Li Maoqing's smile at this moment seemed much more sincere.
"I'm glad you understand. Let's continue playing chess." Yu Qian'an said.
"Okay." Li Maoqing looked at the chessboard again.
The cool breeze blew, the clothes fluttered, and the peaceful days under the old locust tree returned to normal.
only……
"Hey, Master Yu, did you secretly change the chess pieces while we were talking just now?"
Li Maoqing's voice soon sounded again.
"That's not true. Don't talk nonsense." Yu Qian'an denied it flatly.
"Looking at your righteous expression, I thought you were a good person. If you continue like this, no one will want to play with you two..."
"I swear on your character!"
"We can't lose our conscience as human beings..."
The noises of the two old men arguing could be heard in the house.
The baby Thunder Dragon, who was reading a book silently, put it down and looked out the window. The eaves cut out four corners of the sky. He couldn't help but sighed with his chin on his hand: "Hmm..."
…
Inside the residence of the second branch of the Yan family.
Yan Ren was lying on the bed, Yan Linan was sitting beside the bed, sighing, "Ren'er, are you still blaming your father for beating you?"
"Hmm..." Yan Ren rolled his eyes and saw his father's iron hand still hanging in the air. He shook his head resolutely and said, "No, absolutely not."
Yan Linnan's hand still fell, but he touched Yan Ren's head.
"I'm doing this for your own good." He said slowly, "I don't know where that little Taoist priest came from, but he was able to ask Third Aunt to help. She has always disliked worldly affairs and never interfered in family affairs. But once she speaks, who dares to disobey? It's no joke!"
"Dad, I know." Yan Ren replied.
"Especially now is the critical juncture when the head of the family is about to be replaced." Yan Linnan continued.
"My cultivation, achievements, and power are similar to those of the other clans. Who gets to take the top position is just a matter of a word from the ancestors, right?"
"Compared to those old ancestors, although Third Aunt is young, she has the highest level of cultivation! On the contrary, her words carry the most weight. So at this moment, no matter who I offend, I cannot offend her."
"As long as I become the head of the family, who else can take over my position in the future except you?" Yan Linan pressed Yan Ren's shoulder, "Son, a gentleman's revenge is never too late..."
"That's right!" Yan Ren seemed to be moved by his father's words, and gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty years in the west, thirty years in the east... I have to endure it!"
"Something strange happened in Huaxu Secret Realm the other day, and I fought for you to be in charge of this matter. If you work hard and make some contributions, you can also bring honor to your father."
"My child will definitely work hard!" Yan Ren said.
"I heard that the last time the Qi family achieved extraordinary results in the secret realm, it was because they had the help of a strange man. He possessed special magical powers and was very powerful in that secret realm. Moreover, the strange man and the Qi family were only in an employment relationship. Now that all seven families have entered the Huaxu Secret Realm, they have all set their sights on this person..." Yan Linnan said again.
"Are we going to invite that person?" Yan Ren asked immediately.
"Of course, but the Qi family is very tight-lipped and refuses to reveal any information..." Yan Linan smiled and said, "But the Chu family who entered the secret realm with them seems to have some clues. I found out that Chu Xiangyu has already set out. Ren'er, you go out this time, as long as you follow Chu Xiangyu closely, you should be able to find that person, you must invite him!"
"Okay!" Yan Ren got up from the bed and nodded heavily: "I will definitely live up to my father's expectations!"
"Dad believes in you." Yan Linan nodded with satisfaction, "You are such a smart kid... You have been smart since you were young."
This month of Chinese New Year was so hard to endure...it's finally over...I wish you all a happy March ahead.
