Chapter 739: A Talk Between Grandfather and Grandson

In the small courtyard, the atmosphere between grandfather and grandson was excellent.

Anyone could see that Li Li Jingzhe was in high spirits; although his most cherished son had not yet returned, the fact that Li Taixuan had sent Li Luo to the Dragon Tooth Pulse already demonstrated his true intentions. He held no grudge against the Dragon Tooth Pulse over the events of those years.

Moreover, Li Luo's character pleased Li Li Jingzhe greatly.

This grandson possessed talent no less than Li Taixuan's, and his character was resolute, showing the style of hiding one's light and enduring. In this regard, he was actually somewhat better than his father. Perhaps this was due to their different childhood experiences; Li Taixuan had enjoyed smooth sailing since youth, protected by the Dragon Tooth Pulse, and became a prodigy who echoed throughout the Outer Shenzhou without enduring too many hardships.

Yet it was precisely this excessive smoothness that caused Li Taixuan to lack a bit of endurance at certain critical moments.

Moving forward without turning back is certainly good, but sometimes it can appear too rigid and easily broken.

"Xiao Luo, as you cultivate in the Dragon Tooth Pulse henceforth, feel free to reveal all your capabilities. The Dragon Tooth Pulse is not that tiny Great Xia. Here, you need not worry about any schemes or plots. Even if little devils try to trip you up, you need not fear various calculations; simply sweep them away with your own brilliance."

"As long as what you do conforms to the rules, then no one will be able to touch you." Li Li Jingzhe set down his wine cup and said with deep seriousness.

Li Luo's spirit stirred slightly; he smiled and nodded, then asked directly, "Grandfather, it seems the Dragon Tooth Pulse is not entirely peaceful either?"

"You mean Zhao Zhao Xuanming, the Great Hall Master of the Golden Light Hall?" Li Li Jingzhe asked.

Li Luo nodded. From the previous atmosphere, it seemed that his eldest uncle Li Li Qingpeng and second uncle Li Li Jinpan both held strong opinions against him, especially the second uncle, who was almost in direct confrontation with him, clearly indicating a deep rift.

"He was recommended by the Dragon Blood Pulse, which controls the mountain. As the pulse that controls the mountain, they indeed have this authority. Of course, their intention was also to plant a nail within our Dragon Tooth Pulse. This is actually not anything strange," Li Li Jingzhe said lightly.

"Grandfather should have been able to refuse, right?" Li Luo asked somewhat strangely. Li Li Jingzhe was the Head of the Dragon Tooth Pulse; although the Dragon Blood Pulse could recommend, the decision-making power clearly still lay in his, Li Li Jingzhe's, hands.

"If your father were still here, I would naturally have refused," Li Li Jingzhe smiled.

Li Luo was even more puzzled; with his father present, wouldn't there be even less need to worry about Zhao Zhao Xuanming causing any waves?

"With your father here, the four halls of the Dragon Tooth Pulse would have a leader, able to unite and unleash even greater strength to suppress the other four pulses. At that time, I naturally would not let an outsider disrupt the unity within the pulse. But after your father left, the strength of the four halls of the Dragon Tooth Pulse drastically decreased. Your eldest uncle and second uncle are neither capable of shouldering the heavy burden. If this continues, the four halls will only grow weaker. Introducing Zhao Zhao Xuanming at this time is to add threat and pressure for your eldest and second uncles," Li Li Jingzhe said.

"You are using Zhao Zhao Xuanming to temper your eldest and second uncles?"

Li Luo was stunned, then hesitated and said, "However, it seems the effect is not very great."

Because the Golden Light Hall has now become the strongest hall of the Dragon Tooth Pulse, one can see how powerful Zhao Zhao Xuanming's momentum is now; the eldest and second uncles failed to suppress him.

Li Li Jingzhe nodded, saying somewhat helplessly, "The eldest is too moderate and peaceful, with no desire to compete. The second has a strong competitive heart but lacks ability. These two are indeed far inferior to Taixuan. However, if they truly cannot suppress him, then we must let Zhao Zhao Xuanming take the lead. Just as Zhao Zhao Xuanming said, the Golden Light Hall belongs to the Dragon Tooth Pulse, and the prosperity of the Golden Light Hall also represents the Dragon Tooth Pulse."

"After your father left, the Azure Void Hall continued to decline, so the Dragon Tooth Pulse needs a new leader."

"As for whether this Zhao Zhao Xuanming is a nail of the Dragon Blood Pulse, that is actually not too important, because... I am still here."

Li Li Jingzhe smiled at Li Luo. On his aged face, a domineering aura of controlling everything subtly emerged as he said, "As long as I still hold the Dragon Tooth Pulse, no matter how wildly Zhao Zhao Xuanming jumps, he is only adding prestige to the Dragon Tooth Pulse. Of course, if one day I am gone, and the Dragon Tooth Pulse has no other capable person to shoulder the burden, then... the Dragon Tooth Pulse naturally should welcome a change of master."

"At that time, our branch will simply step down and yield the position to the worthy."

Li Luo was somewhat surprised; he did not expect Li Li Jingzhe to be so open-minded. If their branch truly had no one capable of shouldering the burden, would they have to give up the position of Head of the Dragon Tooth Pulse?

"There is nothing in this world that remains prosperous and eternal forever. Not to mention the Dragon Tooth Pulse, even the entire Li Li Tianwang lineage or other Li Tianwang-level powers, in this long river of time, how many have been buried?"

Li Li Jingzhe waved his hand carelessly, then changed the subject: "However, our Dragon Tooth Pulse is still lucky; we produced a Li Taixuan, and now, we have produced you."

"Hehe, I am actually looking forward to the day Taixuan returns, and also to the day you, little one, grow up. With you and your father in our Dragon Tooth Pulse, eternal prosperity may be unlikely, but at the very least, the future will surely be magnificent."

Li Luo laughed dryly, "Grandfather, that pie is too heavy; I cannot catch it."

"You little rascal," Li Li Jingzhe scolded with a laugh.

"By the way, Grandfather, I have two particularly important matters and hope you can help." Li Luo suddenly became solemn and said.

"Speak."

"One concerns my father and mother's friend. His name is Niu Niu Biaobiao. Back then..."

Before Li Luo finished speaking, he saw Li Li Jingzhe nod and take over the conversation: "I know him. Back when your father and mother were being pursued, many former friends avoided them, but only this person accompanied them all the way. Although he had a fierce reputation in the past, he was instead loyal and righteous, worthy of admiration."

"Because of the events of those years, Uncle Biao's Seal-Bestowing Platform was shattered. I want to find a way to help him restore it. He owes our family a debt of gratitude, so no matter how difficult it is, I must help him. I believe my father and mother would think the same," Li Luo said in a deep voice.

"You are also a good child who values loyalty and righteousness," Li Li Jingzhe praised. No one wants their descendants to be heartless; Li Luo's character is very much like his father's.

"I will help you look for a way to repair the Seal-Bestowing Platform," Li Li Jingzhe agreed without hesitation. Niu Niu Biaobiao had protected Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan all the way back then; from a certain perspective, this was also a debt of gratitude to their Dragon Tooth Pulse.

"What about the other matter? Just speak."

Li Luo first happily expressed his thanks, then his expression became even more serious: "My return to the clan this time was actually to seek an item from the clan treasury named the 'Nine-Ringed Holy Heart Lotus'. This treasure is exceptionally important to me, so how can I obtain it?"

"Nine-Ringed Holy Heart Lotus?" Li Li Jingzhe's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "You little one certainly have high standards. This treasure was a rare item brought back from the Heavenly Abyss by the Ancestor. It is currently stored in the clan treasury, managed by the Dragon Blood Pulse. You want this item?"

Li Luo nodded vigorously.

Li Li Jingzhe pondered slightly and said, "Treasures of this level are very difficult for ordinary people to obtain. Even I would need a legitimate reason to negotiate with the other four pulses. Furthermore, this item in the clan is being watched eagerly by many Great Hall Masters, because refining this item might allow their strength to ascend another level."

Li Luo's heart grew cold. Previously, Li Li Rouyun had only mentioned that such a treasure existed within the clan but did not say it was so popular. If even those Great Hall Masters wanted this thing, wouldn't the difficulty for him to obtain it be extremely high?

"Regarding this item, you need not worry for now. I will keep an eye on it and prevent others from getting there first."

"Additionally, I will try to find a way to see if there is any legitimate pretext to take this item out," Li Li Jingzhe said.

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

Li Luo was overjoyed. For such a heavy treasure, only someone with Li Li Jingzhe's status could create some opportunities for him; otherwise, he truly would have not even a sliver of a chance.

Li Li Jingzhe waved his hand and said, "Your focus for the coming time must still be on the Azure Void Banner. You must establish your roots here; otherwise, that Zhong Zhong Yushi will attack again and attempt to seize your father's position as Great Hall Master. Moreover, since your return, many high-ranking members of the entire Li Li Tianwang lineage have been watching secretly. I hope you..."

Li Luo nodded and said directly, "Grandfather, rest assured, I understand. Watch me blind their dog eyes."

Li Li Jingzhe was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh. This grandson was truly without any taboos, but this confidence truly had his father's style.

"Good. The position of Great Banner Leader in the Azure Void Banner is currently vacant. If you become the Banner Leader, you will be qualified to compete for this position. If you can obtain this position, I will also give you an answer regarding the 'Nine-Ringed Holy Heart Lotus' you seek."

Li Luo raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp.

Great Banner Leader, huh.

For the 'Nine-Ringed Holy Heart Lotus', for Sister Jiang Jiang Qinge!

This position, I will have to endure the pain and swallow it.
