Chapter 71: They ran? I'll chase them to death

Yeah, Aunt Cai Ling, where are they?

Li Yilan also came to her senses from the wild joy of reuniting after a long separation.

Earlier, Li Ling Dang said the Hundred Flowers Valley's three great sects and two great clans tried to divide the Li family's land, so she asked her master for help, and they hurriedly rushed home.

But now, in the Li family, we didn't see any trace of those bad people,

This was quite unexpected for her.

"They left." Li Cai Ling also said, puzzled: "Originally those people had already divided the Li family's land, but for some reason they suddenly returned the division maps and documents."

"They also offered various apologies and flattery, claiming they were measuring the Li family's land area, and some even compensated with spirit stones."

Li Cai Ling laid out all the survey maps and documents, as well as the compensated spirit stones.

Behind her, some disciples spoke up: "Moreover, they said they were good people and told us not to hold a grudge against them."

Li Cai Ling nodded: "I also don't know what's going on."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be that Senior Xiao Hei brought my master and me flying here just now, and the Quasi-Emperor's aura was detected by those guys, making them guilty and frightened, so they acted this way."

Li Yilan said slowly.

However, upon hearing Li Yilan's words, Li Cai Ling's eyes almost popped out.

"Quasi... Quasi-Emperor? Is this Senior Xiao Hei at the Quasi-Emperor realm?"

For a moment, the Li family disciples stared at Xiao Hei, their faces full of surprise.

They already knew Xiao Hei was strong, but they never imagined he would be this strong.

Even in the Hundred Flowers Valley, the Quasi-Emperor realm hasn't produced an expert in a hundred years.

And now, one has come here.

Wait!

This one is merely a subordinate of Lin Yang.

Oh my heavens.

How strong must Lin Yang be?

For a moment, Li Cai Ling was overwhelmed by immense shock and delight.

Shocked by the power of Lin Yang and that Xiao Hei, delighted that Yilan's hardships have finally paid off; despite fate's countless injustices, having such a powerful master verifies the saying: "The sword's edge comes from sharpening, and plum blossoms' fragrance from bitter cold."

And at the same time.

Li Cai Ling also agreed with Yilan's speculation: the three great sects and two great clans were afraid of Yilan's master and Senior Xiao Hei.

Thinking this, Li Cai Ling again respectfully thanked: "Peak Master Lin, Senior Xiao Hei, thank you for saving the Li family once again."

"Such great kindness cannot be repaid."

Li Yilan naturally noticed her aunt's tension and said: "Aunt, you don't need to be so tense; my master is very amiable and easy to communicate with."

Lin Yang nodded: "Yilan spoke well; I've always been approachable and easy to get along with—just relax, everyone."

Thus, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment.

Lin Yang then said: "I heard just now that the three great sects and two great clans measured the Li family's land; may I look at those survey maps and documents?"

"I, Lin, have also studied some surveying; let me check for any errors."

Thus, Li Yilan handed over several division maps to Lin Yang.

Xiao Hei stepped forward and voluntarily arranged the five maps neatly before Lin Yang.

This scene once again startled the Li family members.

Before Lin Yang, even a Quasi-Emperor can only do this kind of work.

"Hmm!"

Lin Yang nodded and muttered to himself: "Your Li family's western land is 200,000 mu; southern 180,000 mu; eastern 160,000 mu; northern 140,000 mu?"

Li Cai Ling replied: "Indeed, that's correct..."

"Hiss!"

But before she could finish speaking, she heard Lin Yang suck in a breath of cold air.

Li Cai Ling startled, thinking she had misspoken, dared not continue.

Lin Yang instead asked: "Which faction measured this 200,000 mu of family land?"

"Replying to Peak Master Lin, it was the Myriad Phenomena Sect that measured it." Li Cai Ling responded.

"Hmm!"

Lin Yang nodded and said: "The Myriad Phenomena Sect is too dark-hearted; they under-measured by a full fifteen mu."

Immediately.

He then wrote on the map a note stating it was short by fifteen mu.

Seeing this, Li Cai Ling was stunned; actually the Li family's western land area is exactly 200,000 mu, not lacking.

But she dared not speak, for Lin Yang's gaze had already turned to the second map's document.

"Hmm, this map shows an area of 180,000 mu, which isn't as black-hearted as the Myriad Phenomena Sect, but it's short by thirteen mu."

Lin Yang then wrote on the second map that it was short by thirteen mu.

Next, he wrote on the third map that it was short by twelve mu.

Then after that, he wrote on the fourth map that it was short by eleven mu.

Finally, on the last map he wrote that it was short by a mineral vein of ten mu in size.

Seeing this, the Li family members looked bewildered.

Actually, the Li family's land area is exactly as such, not lacking, and the mineral vein is not lacking either.

And what is Peak Master Lin trying to do?

Could it be that they want to expand the Li family's territory?

Everyone was guessing.

Only saw, Lin Yang gathered all the drawings and handed them to Xiaohei Dao.

"Go tell the Three Great Sects and the Two Great Families, and say that their measurements are wrong, the Li family's land is less, so let them compensate."

"One mu of land, compensate with a hundred thousand spirit stones."

"If they refuse to pay, then just attack, don't waste time arguing with them."

"Yes!" Xiaohei nodded, preparing to turn into a stream of light and leave.

"Wait!"

Lin Yang shouted to his lord: "Bring back the bodies of those killed, wrapped up."

Now he is raising ten Taotie cubs; these little guys have huge appetites.

But it's fine, there's always food delivered.

"Understood!" Xiaohei immediately turned into a stream of light and left the Li family in an imposing manner.

Seeing this, the Li family members were utterly stunned.

It turns out Lin Yang's survey of the Li family's land area was for this purpose.

Moreover.

Who said that? Who said her master is easy to get along with?

Such overbearing and unmatched sharpness—does that count as being approachable?

For a moment, the Li family disciples dared not even breathe, their eyes fearful and wary as they watched Lin Yang's every breath, truly afraid that if he was displeased, he would strike them down.

Seeing the Li family's gazes shift from admiration to admiration mixed with fear, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"Everyone doesn't need to be so startled; I really am very approachable."

"Moreover, the Three Great Sects and Two Great Families indeed measured the Li family's land too small; they were the ones who made the mistake, I'm just pointing it out." Lin Yang said solemnly.

The Li family members had long stopped caring whether these words were correct or not, just nodding in agreement—after all, whoever has the bigger fist gets to decide.

"Of course!" Lin Yang said again: "If they hadn't measured it short, we wouldn't have funds to rebuild the Li family, right?"

As soon as he said that, the Li family members were utterly stunned.

Sir, great righteousness!

It turns out that Chief Lin's actions were entirely for the Li family, to help rebuild it.

Li Yilan blinked back tears and fell to her knees with a thud.

"Master, such kindness, I, the disciple, am deeply grateful."

Thud.

Li Cai Ling led the Li family members to also kneel down.

"Chief Lin, such grace, we, the Li family disciples, are deeply grateful."

Lin Yang sent a strand of spiritual power to lift the Li family members, saying: "No need for formalities."

"I'm just like this; I quite like protecting the young."
