"What nonsense are you spouting! Do you think the Li family is like that?!"
"Is that all you've got? It seems that not having you represent the Li family at the alchemy competition was the best decision we could have made!"
"You know perfectly well whether it's true or not! If I'm not mistaken, you've probably found a more suitable alchemist, haven't you!?"
"Forehead……"
The previously aggressive Old Master Li was stunned for a moment after hearing Yang Lu's words.
It seems I really underestimated this guy.
"Uh, what's going on!?"
Just as Yang Lu finished speaking, an elderly man with gray hair walked in carrying a bundle on his back.
Elder Chen was taken aback to see so many people standing in the courtyard.
This... they've all come to welcome me!? I'm a little overwhelmed by the favor!
"Master Chen! Why are you back?"
Li Xiaodan was quite surprised when she met the old man.
He is none other than Master Chen, the former alchemy master of the Li family. Ten years ago, it was Master Chen who helped the Li family enter the top 100 of the alchemy ranking, or to be precise, 99th!
This time, they originally hoped that Master Chen would represent the Li family at the alchemy conference.
However, because Master Chen had an emergency at home, and they heard that many families had invited super-skilled alchemy masters this time, they sought out Yang Lu.
But why is he back now?!
"Oh, Miss, I've finished dealing with things at home, so I came back to help. I already spoke with the old man yesterday, and he agreed that I could represent the Li family at this alchemy competition!"
Master Chen explained the whole story directly. But judging from Li Xiaodan's expression, she didn't seem to know anything about it. What was going on?
"Grandpa, how could you do this..."
After listening to Master Chen's words, Li Xiaodan immediately understood what was going on.
Grandpa prefers Master Chen to Yang Lu!
After all, Master Chen led the Chen family to the top of the alchemy rankings back then. And it seems that Master Chen only cares about money and is not interested in anything else.
Yang Lu was too young, and he was a little worried about him.
And because he offended the Liang family for Yang Lu's sake, Grandpa must have felt he had suffered a loss.
Under these circumstances, Li Xiaochen's death could be used to deal with Yang Lu and thus gain the Liang family's forgiveness.
Grandpa didn't care at all who killed Xiaochen!
All he needed was a reason to deal with Yang Lu.
Everything is clear now!
At this moment, Li Xiaodan felt extremely distressed.
She suddenly felt that her grandfather was a stranger; the grandfather she knew wasn't like this!
"I...I'm doing this for the sake of the family! This alchemy competition is far too important for the Li family! There can't be...the slightest mistake!"
"Boy, cut off your own arm now, or I might spare your life; otherwise, you'll never be able to rise again!"
