Hu Dali was stunned. He looked down at the middle-aged man with a gaunt face, calm demeanor, and eyes as clear as water. Then he looked at Lily whose eyes were swollen like red apricots and shook his head vigorously!
"Hey, your dad is really nice to you. He's your real dad!"
"But, you're giving in before the fight even starts? Your father is a bit sissy! Not manly enough! If a father like Dali Ge encounters something like this, he will definitely bring his brothers to fight with knives, regardless of whether they can win or not, they will just chop first!"
He shook his head vigorously and sighed. The demonic aura around Hu Dali suddenly subsided and he descended vertically from the air a hundred feet above the ground.
"Shua shua shua", the sound of many people moving came from the window of the small building by the river, and there was also a faint "buzzing" sound of a taut bowstring. A wisp of extremely sharp cold air locked onto Hu Dali, who had an extremely keen sense, from a distance!
"Don't show off those broken copper and iron! Brother Dali is thick-skinned and strong-willed. You, who come from a small family, probably don't have the money to buy those good things that can hurt Brother Dali." Hu Dali walked up to the middle-aged man and slammed Lily to the ground.
Lily was thrown to the ground by Hu Dali. Her body was shaken stiff and it took her a long time to catch her breath.
She burst into tears, threw herself into the arms of the middle-aged man, and shouted "Daddy" in grievance!
The middle-aged man stroked Lily's hair with a smile, and then he took her and protected her behind him. He took two steps forward and bowed solemnly to Hu Dali again: "This senior, I am Li Mofeng, the head of the Li family in Xiaoliu Village."
"You are the boss? That's all!" Hu Dali waved his right hand, and the Nine Dragons Heaven-Slaying Sword obtained from the ancient ruins under the Bianzhong Rock slowly burst out from his palm with a terrible dragon roar.
He pounded the big knife in his right hand into the ground. There was a loud humming sound, and the power of the knife was scattered. A row of small buildings by the river that could accommodate three to five hundred people collapsed. Many people hiding in the buildings cried and screamed, and their heads were covered with bruises.
"I can make the decision. Okay, great! Hurry up. The house has collapsed anyway. Hurry up and pack your bags and go with Brother Dali!" Hu Dali waved his hand and a light flew out. The light expanded rapidly and a flying boat more than thirty feet long suddenly sprayed out gusts of wind and gently floated in the air several feet above the ground!
Li Mofeng and a group of Li family members looked at Hu Dali in astonishment!
What is going on?
Why should I follow you?
However, Hu Dali swung his sword, and the invisible sword intent easily destroyed dozens of small buildings, but did not hurt anyone in the buildings. This terrifying strength made Li Mofeng and the Li family members unable to muster the courage to resist.
"Senior, what exactly happened?" Li Mofeng smiled bitterly, turned his hand and patted him gently. Lily, who was hugging his waist, with her little face pressed against his lower back and constantly wiping her tears and snot on his clothes, asked Hu Dali very carefully, cautiously and respectfully.
There was a hint of helplessness and melancholy hidden in his clear eyes, just like a person who was almost suffocating under the burden of life, and suddenly someone added hundreds of pounds of weight on him. He pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth bent downward, forming a symbol of extreme bitterness on his face.
The noisy Hu Dali suddenly became quiet.
He quickly glanced at the corner of Li Mofeng's mouth - he suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when the leader of the three states, Jiao Wang, heard that the Jin court wanted to eradicate the giant bandit who controlled the three states, the expression on Jiao Wang's face was almost exactly the same as Li Mofeng's!
Helplessness and melancholy, with a hint of deep concern for the people around me.
Hu Dali blinked his eyes. He suddenly sneezed towards the sky, then glanced at the platycodon on the hillsides on both sides of the valley: "Hahaha, what's the name of this flower? It tastes good... To be honest, when Tian Ge'er was a child, he used this thing to make cold dishes for us. It was sour and spicy, and it tasted really good!"
The crying Lily, the nervous Li Mofeng and others were left in tears and laughter by Hu Dali's inexplicable admiration.
No one has ever used the word "delicious" to describe a flower, at least no one has ever appeared in the Windless Canyon.
However, Hu Dali's actions, which were full of the atmosphere of a child, made Li Mofeng and the others feel less nervous and fearful. Li Mofeng took a deep breath, bowed to Hu Dali and asked, "May I ask, Senior..."
"I'm not a senior, just call me Brother Dali!" Hu Dali laughed a few times, glanced at the nervous members of the Li family around him, and quickly recounted the entanglement between Master Qiao, Baihe and Chu Tian.
Hu Dali has never liked reading since he was a child and lacks the ability to express himself verbally. He is more accustomed to expressing his feelings by yelling.
After wasting some time, Hu Dali managed to explain the cause and effect of the matter, and then said as a matter of course: "This is what happened. This girl from your family has been favored by my brother. From now on, she will be my brother's apprentice and my nephew!"
The Li family members were shocked, while Li Mofeng looked at Hu Dali with a chill all over his body.
No wonder Master Qiao suddenly asked their whole family to hide here. It turned out that Master Qiao actually instigated his own daughter to do such a thing? Pretending to be an orphan whose family was wiped out, she wanted to sneak into someone else's school and steal their alchemy inheritance!
Li Mofeng took a deep breath and slowly turned around.
Lily was already kneeling on the ground, with her head hung down, not daring to look at Li Mofeng.
Although the fluctuation of Li Mofeng's mana was extremely weak, probably at the level of just entering the Gathering Spirit Realm, Lily's cultivation was much higher than his. But facing the calm Li Mofeng, Lily didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Girl... Daddy is sorry for you!" Li Mofeng sighed deeply, and looked helplessly at the Li family members with ugly expressions: "Back then, the elders said they wanted to send you to Master Qiao's school, and Daddy shouldn't have agreed. Now it seems that Master Qiao, that old man, is really not a good teacher or friend!"
An old man from the Li family stood up. He said coldly with a cold face: "Mo Feng, what do you mean? Master Qiao, he is..."
With a howl, the old man from the Li family flew out spitting out blood. Hu Dali retracted his left fist, shook it vigorously, and smiled at the stunned Li family members around him in a simple and honest way: "Hey, is there a lackey of Master Qiao here? Well, Brother Dali was very careful and didn't use much strength. He should... not be dead, right?"
Without waiting for the Li family members to speak, Hu Dali continued to speak in an unusually 'honest' manner: "It's dead, right? Hey, hurry up and dig a hole to bury it... We're moving, these old and dying old men, without them, we can move faster!"
Li Mofeng squatted on the ground and asked Lily a few questions in a low voice.
Lily lowered her head and quickly replied to Li Mofeng.
Li Mofeng's forehead was bulging with blue veins. He took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed deeply to Hu Dali: "In that case, Senior Hu, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the Li family in the future."
