Chen Yang felt amused. This old guy changed his expression very quickly.
Just now he was acting like he was interrogating a criminal, but now he's become a warm and hospitable host. He put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.
"Master Li, you are too polite. We are just ordinary disciples, so there is really nothing much to say."
Xue Qing, who was standing by, also echoed, "Yes, our master has always lived in seclusion in the mountains, not concerned with worldly affairs. Before we left the mountain, he specifically told us not to easily reveal any information about the sect to outsiders."
Although Li Tianxiong was confused, seeing that Chen Yang and the other two were unwilling to say more, he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he just went along with what they said.
"I see. It seems your two friends' master must be an otherworldly expert!"
"I wonder which master this is? Perhaps I have heard of him before."
Chen Yang and Xue Qing looked at each other and saw a hint of smile in each other's eyes.
They knew that Li Tianxiong would not give up easily and would definitely try to find out their details indirectly.
Chen Yang deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said, "This... is Master's name. As disciples, we can't reveal it casually. I hope Master Li will forgive me."
Li Tianxiong saw that he couldn't get anything out of the question, so he gave up. He raised his glass and said to Chen Yang and Xue Qing.
"Haha, I'm sorry for being so rude. Come on, let's drink! It's a rare opportunity for us to get together today, so let's not talk about those trivial matters in the martial arts world, let's just talk about love and romance!"
Chen Yang and Xue Qing naturally would not refuse. The three of them toasted each other and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
While drinking, Li Tianxiong observed Chen Yang and Xue Qing calmly.
He found that although these two people were young, their manners and conversation were very sophisticated, especially Chen Yang, whose eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts. This made Li Tianxiong more certain that these two people were by no means ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Li Tianxiong's heart couldn't help but become active.
If we can recruit these two people to the Li family, then the strength of the Li family will definitely be further enhanced...
After three rounds of drinks, Li Tianxiong asked casually under the influence of alcohol.
"My dear Chen, I apologize once again for the offense my younger brother from the Li family just caused. I also see that you have extraordinary talents and are incredibly gifted. I wonder if you're interested in joining my Li family?"
"Although my Li family cannot compare to those big sects, we still have some foundation in Qingyun City. If you join, I promise..."
Li Tianxiong was speaking excitedly at the moment, as if he had already seen the scene of Chen Yang joining the Li family, becoming a guest of the Li family, and serving him at his beck and call.
He picked up the wine glass and was about to have another drink with Chen Yang to celebrate.
"Master! Something bad has happened!"
A servant rushed in from outside in a panic, interrupting Li Tianxiong and shattering his fantasy.
"You bastard! Can't you see I'm entertaining an honored guest? You're so flustered, how can you behave like that?"
Li Tianxiong was already somewhat unhappy, and now he was even more furious. He slammed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table and shouted angrily.
The servant trembled with fear, fell to his knees with a thud, and said tremblingly: "Master, please calm down. I deserve to die! It's just...it's just..."
"Just what? Tell me quickly!" Li Tianxiong urged impatiently.
"It's...it's the young master of the Wang family. He...he has brought people with him!" the servant stammered.
"Wang family? Which Wang family?" Li Tianxiong was slightly stunned, then reacted and his face suddenly turned ugly. "You mean, the Wang family..."
"It's the eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Teng!" The servant lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Tianxiong's expression.
"What is he here for?" Li Tianxiong frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
When Li Qingge, who was standing by, heard the name Wang Teng, her pretty face, which had originally been slightly flushed, instantly turned ugly. She stood up and looked at the servant coldly.
"Young Master Wang said he heard Miss Li had returned safely, so he came to visit and reminisce."
The servant carefully observed Li Tianxiong's expression and whispered.
"Reminiscing about the past?" Li Tianxiong sneered and slammed the wine cup in his hand heavily onto the table.
"Who the hell is Wang Teng? He's worthy of reminiscing with my precious daughter. I think he's just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. He has no good intentions!"
Although Li Tianxiong spoke in a tough tone, he knew very well in his heart that the Wang family was gaining momentum recently and was about to overpower the Li family, so he had to be careful in dealing with it.
"Dad..." Li Qingge gently pulled Li Tianxiong's sleeve, her beautiful eyes full of worry.
"Qingge, don't be afraid. Dad is here, no one can bully you!" Li Tianxiong patted the back of Li Qingge's hand and comforted her.
"Master, Young Master Wang has arrived at the front hall. Look..." The servant reminded Li Tianxiong cautiously when he saw that Li Tianxiong had not spoken for a long time.
"Hmph! Since he's here, let him wait!" Li Tianxiong snorted coldly and turned to Chen Yang and Xue Qing.
"I'm sorry to both of you, my dear friends, but I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you properly today."
Chen Yang and Xue Qing looked at each other and saw a playful smile in each other's eyes.
Li Tianxiong had a gloomy face and took Li Qingge to the front hall. He had already guessed some of Wang Teng's intentions.
As he walked out of the room, he did not notice that Chen Yang and Xue Qing in the side room exchanged glances, followed him quietly, hiding their breath in the dark.
In the front hall, Wang Teng sat casually on the armchair as if he was at home, with his legs crossed and a piece of crystal clear jade in his hand. Several powerful masters of the Wang family stood beside him.
Seeing Li Tianxiong and Li Qingge coming, Wang Teng didn't even raise his eyelids, but just spoke nonchalantly.
"Master Li is so arrogant, he made me wait so long."
Li Tianxiong said with a forced smile, "I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you to my great honor, Young Master Wang."
"I just don't know what brings you here so late this evening, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Teng then put down the jade in his hand, glanced at Li Qingge, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said.
"I heard that Miss Li went to the Xuanling Mountains a few days ago. Why didn't she inform me? This would have allowed all the warriors in my Wang family to move."
Li Qingge sneered in her heart. It was obvious that Wang Teng was asking questions even though he knew the answer. Her trip to Xuanling Mountains was such a secret, but Wang Teng was able to reveal it all at once. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives.
Li Tianxiong suppressed his anger and said, "Qingge just went there to relax. It's not worth mentioning."
"But Young Master Wang, why don't you practice at home and have time to come to my Li family?"
Wang Teng laughed and said, "Master Li, you're joking. I heard that Miss Li is back, so I came to see her. It's just..."
He paused deliberately, his tone a bit sarcastic.
