Chapter 467

The bottom of the house was hollowed out, and blocks of amber-hued cold ice were transported inside, but the ice melted faster than it could be replenished, causing thick white mist to rise from below.

The top of the house was leveled, with a Vermilion Bird statue erected at each of the four corners, and a circle of formation masters maintained the operation, drawing in the essence of the upright sun and refining the essence of the purple sun to channel it downward.

Ming Ming Qinyun lay on the large bed inside the room, with yin below and yang above.

The old matriarch of the Ming family had suffered a cultivation deviation.

A group of Ming family elders sat around on cushions beneath the bed, some dejected, some anxious, others lost; in short, they were all waiting for Ming Ming Qinyun to awaken.

In all fairness, Ming Ming Qinyun was not an excellent choice for a qualified family head.

But the problem was, after the Ming family's high-level members cultivated their core art to a high position, almost no one could achieve "in all fairness."

The pugilistic world is not like the imperial court; the Profound Sect is fraught with crises, and the head of the Long Wang Gate cannot discuss anything else while setting aside strength.

Otherwise, let alone failing to defend against hidden arrows from the pugilistic world, even the curses and underhanded tactics of one's own kin could cause you to drop dead.

The various Ming family elders could behave normally in front of the matriarch and not get angry regardless of her various eccentric temperaments because every time they approached her, she would take the initiative to collect the emotional distractions from their bodies onto herself.

It could be said that apart from her emotions being easily visible on her Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, Ming Ming Qinyun had almost no shortcomings—well, except for matters concerning that old Lady Liu.

Outside the bedroom, Ming Ming Qinyun's direct bloodline—her children, grandchildren, and even several great-grandchildren already born in swaddling clothes—were waiting quietly.

It was not that they did not want to serve inside the bedroom like those elders, but the extreme yin and extreme yang environment inside the bedroom was truly something they could not withstand.

The crying of the few children in swaddling clothes was intense.

The impatience and annoyance in the eyes of the few grandparents could no longer be suppressed.

One person had already raised their hand, intending to knock those crying children unconscious for the sake of peace, but was immediately stopped by the others.

They had to endure; if the matriarch did not make it through this time, the Ming family's secret arts would surely allow for a final moment of lucidity, at which point, according to etiquette, the matriarch would have to see all her descendants.

You cannot present a child who has fainted to the matriarch.

"Take them out, and bring them back in when it's truly the end!"

Several wet nurses immediately carried the children out.

The hall became quiet as a result, but the various suppressed breaths rising and falling only intensified this mutual interference.

Each was dry tinder to the other, with sparks constantly flying about.

This was the current state of the Ming family; the Ming family had rules, yet it was difficult to display that sense of ritual and decorum, as everyone had a gloomy and irritable temper, and even during festival banquets, as long as Ming Ming Qinyun left the table first and stopped absorbing and suppressing their emotions, they themselves would soon come to blows over a few words of disagreement and overturn the banquet tables.

A person entered with rapid strides, holding a letter in their left hand and a token in their right.

Ming Ming Qinyun's youngest son stood up, glared at the person, and reached out to take them.

As a result, a terrifying pressure enveloped him, and he immediately froze in place.

An elder with a lower seating order walked out of the bedroom.

Even though the matriarch was unconscious, she was still absorbing the emotions of those around her according to her usual habits, but the range of absorption had greatly decreased; after the elder left the bedroom, the anger in his heart also began to rise steadily.

"The matriarch is still alive, and you haven't taken the position yet; besides, even if you were to take it, it should be your older brother; it wouldn't be your turn anyway, hmph."

A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of Ming Ming Qinyun's youngest son's mouth, and he retreated a few steps with eyes full of unwillingness before sitting back in his chair.

The elder took the letter and the token and returned to the bedroom.

The moment he stepped inside, his state of mind returned to peace.

He sighed silently.

The Ming family no longer had a future; if even this old ancestor could not hold on and fell, then the Ming family would truly have no hope.

The elder informed the other elders of the contents of the letter.

At Wangjiang Tower, a meeting would be held.

This meeting was certainly not directed at the Ming family, because there was no need to send an invitation to the food on the dining table.

Of course, secret meetings targeting the Ming family had surely been held privately many times already.

Second Elder: "Hehe, sigh..."

The main invitee for this meeting at Wangjiang Tower was inevitably that old Lady Liu.

The original Long Wang Qin and Long Wang Liu had long been placed on the dining table, but for one thing, everyone was concerned about Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face and pugilistic reputation and felt embarrassed to reach out with chopsticks in public; for another, this dish was poisonous and still needed the charcoal fire under the dish to continue simmering, and before its toxicity was completely dissipated, no one was willing to be the first to tear off the mask and test the poison.

Now it was fine; the dish that had been on the dining table for so many years was about to leave the table and sit back beside it.

Who would vacate this seat, and who would fill the vacancy of that dish?

Third Elder: "Have these people lost their minds?"

Fourth Elder: "First, lay out a plan to annihilate the Lu Family Manor, then hold a banquet at the Lu Family Manor to announce their identities. The Emperor Emperor Fengdu Emperor came to my Ming family following the karma from the Lu Family Manor; one can tell with their feet that this was inevitably done by those so-called heads of the Qin and Liu families!

Since that person has already treated my Ming family this way, how could they possibly spare other clans and sects?"

Fifth Elder: "They know it in their hearts, but they are not in a hurry, thinking they can proceed slowly, or even resolve it in other ways, after all, there is the friendship of the ancestors..."

Fourth Elder: "They are not surnamed Qin or Liu; where would you get any ancestral friendship with them?"

Third Elder: "Yes, that old Lady Liu is clearly intending to tear off the mask; I reckon she wants revenge so badly she's gone mad. She would rather use the two families' heritage and the position of family head as bargaining chips to give to an outsider, just to have that outsider promise to avenge her!"

First Elder: "Have your brains lost their minds? Even if that old Lady Liu has truly gone mad, the person she gave it to is definitely not a madman; the intelligence from all sides is already very clear. On this river, one cannot temporarily find any wild experts from sects or factions, and the successors of various families and sects, including those from the two Long Wang families, have all been suppressed by that one person.

With this kind of talent, disposition, and means, heh, if it were you, you would also go mad!"

The remaining elders, upon hearing this, wanted to refute, but in the end, they all sighed one after another.

The Ming family's contemporary lamp-lighter, Ming Ming Yuwan, had already fallen on the river, and before falling, she even used that old dog from the Yu family as a bridge to ferry the Yu family's evil karma over.

Moreover, Ming Ming Yuwan, despite her strong reputation on the river, was still far from reaching the level where she could suppress her peers.

But the one before them now, having remained obscure for so long, showed the aura of winning the contemporary Long Wang position the moment they officially showed their Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face.

This meant that the competition for the river water of this generation had entered a period of prominence.

According to the past laws on the river, a batch of mountain peaks would be born that would crush their peers, absorbing the river's merit with the momentum of a whale swallowing; and the Long Wang, if nothing unexpected happened, would be born from one of these peaks.

This is equivalent to saying that the Qin and Liu family heads on the river have already obtained the final ticket for the Long Wang competition of this generation.

Surname and bloodline are very important.

But in the Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face of absolute talent and potential, it can also be a roadside weed.

First Elder: "Such a person either rises from the grassroots and aims to build their own heritage upon reaching this step, and will not be recruited; or they already have a sect force behind them, and their origin label has long been set.

But if they are truly a nobody and appear before you... would you be reluctant to give it?"

To put it bluntly, it wasn't that everyone didn't want it before, nor was it that they adhered to rigid sectarian views, but although there are plenty of cabbages on the roadside, the jade cabbage is not wild.

Fourth Elder: "This Heavenly Dao is so unfair; the Qin and Liu families were clearly on their last breath, just missing that final gasp, yet they were unexpectedly bestowed with heavenly favor!"

?"

First Elder: "I can go, but before going, we must finalize what kind of proposal to put forward."

Fourth Elder: "Boss, what do you think?"

First Elder: "My Ming family has already entered a downward period; at this time, holding out for a better price is a luxury, and following the crowd to be sliced like soft meat is even more foolish; personally, I am inclined to lower our Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face and posture to the bottom and go kneel..."

At this moment, the bedroom fell silent instantly.

Before the First Elder could finish speaking, he saw Ming Ming Qinyun's eyes open, staring at him.

"Matriarch."

The First Elder knelt down, cold sweat dripping from his body.

Ming Ming Qinyun slowly sat up; her white hair had become withered and coarse, and along with her skin, it had all become dry and wrinkled; she used to be charming even though she was old, but now she looked like a dried corpse waiting to be evaporated.

"Does the First Elder mean to let my Ming family go and kneel to that jinx of a dead woman who brings misfortune to her husband and relatives?"

The First Elder dared not speak.

The other elders also lowered their heads one after another, but no one spoke up to echo or attack the First Elder at this time.

Ming Ming Qinyun: "Not to mention that person, she is not yet the contemporary Long Wang; even if she were the contemporary Long Wang, even if her Liu family produced another Liu Liu Qingcheng, that would only be questioning the Long Wang Gate, and she didn't bring a sword to annihilate it!"

The elders around the bed remained silent.

Clearly, they were unwilling to follow the matriarch's attitude this time.

Ming Ming Qinyun:

"Everyone, I have not gone mad, nor am I suffering from hysteria; it is my fault, and the fault of this pugilistic world, that I failed to take advantage of her illness to stomp her to death.

But if kneeling to her now and licking her boots could lead my Ming family to a new vista, I would be willing, truly willing.

But is she willing?

That time the Yu family's evil karma backflowed, and this time the Emperor Emperor Fengdu Emperor 'personally arrived,' both targeted my Ming family's most important gate fortune.

The two relayed, with the same goal, and finally broke my Ming family's foundation.

Although I haven't seen the intelligence report, I have a premonition that the shadow of one of them must be pulling the strings between these two.

Everyone, wake up.

They worked hard and finally managed to peel our dragon scales clean.

Even if you want to kneel now, they will take the initiative to support you and not let you kneel, hahaha!"

Ming Ming Qinyun spread her hands, and the token for entering and leaving Wangjiang Tower flew into her palm.

"I will attend this meeting, no need to dress up; I will go just like this, and let them see what the end of my Ming family is like right now.

Let them be clear that if it is not handled well, then my Ming family's today will be their tomorrow.

My Ming family has already been placed on the dining table, and the crisis is imminent; our current reliance is that we old guys are still alive, and the backbone below is also still here.

Long Wang Qin and Long Wang Liu have deep foundations; if we can pry open their shells first, it will be enough to feed this pugilistic world.

Only then can my Ming family win the most precious time to wait for a turning point to appear.

Therefore, no matter what, we must make them decide to move their chopsticks against Qin and Liu first."

The elders understood this time and said in unison from the bottom of their hearts:

"The matriarch is wise."

Ming Ming Qinyun clutched the token and closed her eyes.

Wangjiang Tower had already been prepared, but it was still early before the meeting time.

In the past, there would be people arriving first to look at this false scenery and chat with others who had also arrived early.

This time, Ming Ming Qinyun was the first to arrive.

She sat right there on the first floor of the building, facing the door curtain at the entrance.

Whoever walked in would see her at first glance, see her in this state that was both like a corpse and like the current Ming family.

She did not mind, displaying herself to others to her heart's content.

People kept coming in, but she did not speak, just staring fixedly at the door curtain, waiting for that figure to lift the curtain and enter.

Come on, I am sitting right here now, waiting for you to come and see my joke!

……

Liu Yi held a piece of black cloth in her hand, standing in the main hall.

The weather had turned cold, making it unsuitable to set up a table and play cards outside; she, Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei, could endure it, but if this group of old sisters were exposed to such cold wind, they would likely fall ill that very night, and if their luck were bad, they would be playing cards at the old sisters' funeral hall next time.

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei noticed Liu Yi and also sensed the Wangjiang Tower token trembling slightly within the black cloth in Liu Yi's hand.

Her mood was a bit chaotic.

Once chaotic, it was easy to accidentally win big and take a lot of money.

The money the old sisters had brought in the morning was not only lost by now, but they had also borrowed some from Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei, and then this money gradually returned to Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei, piling up high.

The morning game broke up, and Liu Liu Jinxia left with Wang Niu Lian and Flower Yu Popo.

Wang Niu Lian: "Sister Liu has something on her mind today."

Flower Yu Popo: "Indeed."

Liu Liu Jinxia: "Let's go to my place to get money first. Since she has something on her mind, we will lose properly this afternoon to comfort her."

Even Wang Niu Lian, who was the least well-off in the family, nodded and followed Liu Liu Jinxia to her home to get money.

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei picked up her teacup, took a sip, and asked:

"How did this token end up with you?"

She had already given this token to Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan.

Liu Yi: "Don't blame me for this. Before Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan went out this time, he left this token under my bed and even placed a seal on it. You know what level Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan's formation is at; anyway, I didn't notice its existence until this token vibrated with a message."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei did not speak, continuing to drink tea.

Liu Yi: "Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan knew that if this token were in his room, we wouldn't enter; if it were in your room, you would notice it, and it would be too obvious. Only by putting it in my room, with my personality, would I definitely beg you and pester you to let you attend the meeting and see the current faces of that bunch of guys."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei rolled her eyes at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi: "Oh, just go, go and take a good look, observe carefully. I'll go fry some melon seeds now to prepare, and wait for you to come back and tell me all about it."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "I used to dream of this day, but when it really arrived, I didn't have such a big impulse. The children are fighting to the death in the front, and I am going to show off in the back; it feels quite uncomfortable in my heart."

Liu Yi: "The children are all fighting to the death in the front; if you don't go and show off properly, wouldn't that be letting down the children's good intentions?"

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "So Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan had to put this token with you."

Liu Yi: "Hehe, look, our family head is so wise, having thought of everything. What do you call this, putting everyone's talent to use?"

Li Sanjiang walked down from upstairs, wearing a crisp Zhongshan suit, a long-brimmed hat, leather shoes on his feet, and a fountain pen clipped to his chest pocket.

This entire outfit was provided for him by Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan.

On ordinary days, Li Sanjiang was really reluctant to wear it, but of course, when needed, he was not stingy about wearing it.

The high school in Shigang Town, which was also Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan's alma mater, was about to hold a college entrance exam oath-taking rally for the senior students.

In the auditorium, senior students and parents would all attend together, and Li Sanjiang was invited by the school as a guest to give a speech.

It was mainly about his experience in educating children.

They invited him once last year, and the old principal came to invite him in person.

Li Sanjiang was stunned when he heard this; when Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan was in his senior year, he thought Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan was still squatting in elementary school. He had no education experience at all!

But he couldn't resist the old principal's persistent pleading, so Li Sanjiang went anyway.

Li Sanjiang still had a sense of responsibility; he didn't tell the truth about how Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan liked to sit with him during his senior year to do rituals and fish for corpses, and the rest of the time was spent on the balcony reading miscellaneous books on fortune-telling and Feng Shui with the pretty girl at home.

He told the story of how Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Zhuangzhuang got up early and returned late, running and taking cold showers and doing problems seriously for that half-year, as Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan's story to the students and parents.

The effect was very good; the parents' faces were full of hope, and the students' eyes were full of fighting spirit, as if they had collectively drunk a big basin of chicken blood.

"Ahem... ahem..."

Li Sanjiang stood on the dam, stomped his feet, and coughed dryly, as if the microphone had already been placed in front of him.

Liu Yi supported him: "Uncle Sanjiang, your bearing is truly impressive."

Li Sanjiang smiled and said bluntly: "The children earned this Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face for us, so we must go and show it off properly."

A car drove up on the village road and turned around on the path.

Li Sanjiang: "The school car is here to pick me up. I'm going, Sister Sister Sister Sister Yingzi, I won't be back for dinner tonight; I'm eating with the school leaders and the town leaders, haha!"

Watching Li Sanjiang happily walk down the dam, Liu Yi said:

"Look, Uncle Sanjiang sees things so clearly; he would never dampen the children's spirits."

"When Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan and A Li come back from the river this time, after dinner, you sit on this dam and tell them how you held your head high today; the children will be so happy."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei put down her teacup: "Fine, help me comb my hair."

Liu Yi smiled: "I'll prepare your clothes right now."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "Just take them out of the wardrobe; I already matched them, and had Shan'er make them new for me."

Liu Yi: "Tsk, this can't be done temporarily."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "After you told me that the account book under your bed was gone, I wrote a letter to Shan'er to hurry up and make them for me, knowing this day would come."

Liu Yi: "So, I wasted my breath and had to ask again?"

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "At such an age, one must always be more solemn; you still have to ask and persuade."

"Fine, fine, fine, you wait, I'll take them out for you right now."

Liu Yi walked slowly toward the east room.

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "Yours is in the bottom layer of the wardrobe, also newly made by Shan'er. You accompany me to Wangjiang Tower."

Liu Yi rushed into the east room.

In front of the dressing table.

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei looked at herself in the mirror and sighed:

"I'm old."

Liu Yi: "Everyone gets old, but not everyone can grow old with value."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei stood up, walked to the offering table, and lit three sticks of incense.

Liu Yi had already taken off her farm woman's clothes and changed into Liu family finery. She turned around in place in front of Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei and said:

"Auntie Shan's craftsmanship is truly impeccable."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "It's because your foundation is good; even though you've aged, your figure is still beautiful."

Liu Yi: "You say that as if when you chose me back then, it was because I was beautiful?"

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "What else?"

Liu Yi: "Even if I have some unorthodox ways and my temperament isn't great, my talent is still okay, right?"

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "I didn't consider that; I just felt that since I had already picked that piece of wood, A Li, and lacked some vitality around me, I saw you, a restless little girl, and liked you, thinking that having you around might not save me any worry, but at least it would be more lively and fun."

Liu Yi: "Fine, so I was just an extra; I saw it long ago, you still favor that piece of wood the most."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "Am I not good to you? The wood was picked for you long ago, and you delayed for so long, slow to let the wood bloom."

Liu Yi sighed and said calmly: "He is difficult; in this life, most of the time, he can neither pick things up nor put them down."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei poured herself a cup of yellow wine, looked at the spirit tablets on the offering table, and said:

"Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan announced the heads of the Qin and Liu families; both of us are green, which doesn't quite fit the scene, and the Qin ancestors might be dissatisfied, saying I'm biased."

Hearing this, Liu Yi immediately reopened the wardrobe and searched carefully:

"I didn't find A Li's new clothes!"

"What new clothes? Wood looks at the original color."

"You mean..."

"Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan is on the river; even if they want to target us with schemes like before, they can't do it without careful planning. Furthermore, I trust Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan's ability and don't need to worry about things on the river.

We will just guard this acre of land on the shore well; I'm not afraid of them jumping over the wall in desperation, I'm afraid of them jumping crookedly and ruining Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan's rhythm instead.

Call A Li and go together.

Let them see that the person they failed to conspire to kill back then has stood up again today.

Our two families are indeed short of people.

But whether on the river or on the shore, there are pillars supporting us right now!"

Liu Yi pushed open the door and walked out.

Qin Li returned from the fields carrying a hoe.

Seeing Liu Ting in green finery, his pace slowed down significantly.

She had worn such clothes since she was a child; back then, she liked to raise all kinds of insects and liked to put them in her own bed to tease herself.

It was just that in recent years, she rarely wore them, but every time she did, she gave him a feeling of being increasingly stunning.

Beautiful, truly beautiful.

Uncle Qin walked to the dam and carried a bucket of water from the well to wash his feet.

Liu Yi stood by, tilting her head, smiling at Uncle Qin.

"How is it?"

Uncle Qin: "You're wearing these clothes?"

Liu Yi: "Mm."

Qin Shu: "It's definitely not convenient to cook now; does that mean there's no lunch today?"

Liu Yi raised her head, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said:

"Let's go, to the east room. The time is almost here; the old lady is taking the two of us out to attend the banquet."

"Alright."

Qin Shu set down the water bucket and, barefoot, walked toward the east room, leaving a wet footprint with every step.

Liu Yi: "I'm telling you, don't you plan on changing your clothes? If you don't have new ones, there are old ones in the west room."

Qin Shu: "I don't need to; as long as you all look good, that's enough."

Pushing open the door to the east room, Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei was sitting on a chair beside the offering table, on which the Wangjiang Tower token was placed.

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "A Li is right. No matter how polished you look on the outside, it's useless; those who look down on you will still look down on you. In this family, you still have to rely on people to earn the substance."

Qin Shu scratched his head: "I didn't think that much about it."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei gently flicked the token with her fingertip and said: "Alright, the time is passing, we should go too."

Liu Yi walked to Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei's side and stood still.

Qin Shu squatted down beside the old lady, looking like an old farmer.

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei lightly tapped the token, using the incense smoke from the offering table to envelop the three of them.

Wangjiang Tower.

The grand square looked empty today.

Unlike last time, when the families gathered and tacitly brought their younger generations out to meet.

I don't know if the weather is bad at the real Wangjiang Tower, or if the people here are generally feeling depressed, but in any case, it is gloomy here, as if it could rain at any moment.

When Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei and the other two appeared outside the tower, the attention of those inside collectively shifted outward.

The appointed time had not yet arrived, but everyone had arrived early.

One person arrived the earliest and had been sitting on the ground floor the whole time; another arrived the latest and had only just come.

Supported by Liu Yi, Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei walked toward the inside of the tower.

Qin Li, who was squatting behind, wanted to stand up, but it was a bit difficult; he tried several times but failed.

Inside the tower, gazes focused on him one after another.

At the entrance of Wangjiang Tower, a middle-aged man was greeting guests, his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face now wearing a warm smile.

The Qin family has always been like this, believing in their fists and having little interest in anything else.

Arriving at this place defined by spirit, facing so many spiritual scrutinies, it is normal to feel inadequate.

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei stopped, turned her head slightly, and said: "A Li, they are all watching you make a fool of yourself."

The middle-aged man greeting guests at the door spoke up: "Old Madam, what you said is..."

Qin Li stood up.

"Crack... crack... crack..."

The middle-aged man's expression froze.

In the dark clouds overhead, there seemed to be the low roar of a Black Black Black Black Black Black Jiao, and even more figures appeared and disappeared.

Qin Li, having stood up, walked toward this tower step by step.

Compared to the two Wo Sect in front of him, he was dressed like a farmer, with mud still in his toenails that he hadn't had time to wash off carefully.

But as he approached, everyone in the tower had the illusion that they had turned into crops, as if they would be harvested sickle by sickle by the man before them.

The reason the Qin family dislikes cultivating other paths is that as long as your fist is hard enough, even if my spiritual level is not as good as yours, I can easily destroy your body, leaving your spirit without a carrier.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Qin Li's heartbeat seemed to interact with the Black Black Black Black Black Black Jiao's roar in the sky.

At the round table on the second floor, the family heads and sect leaders sitting there watched the tea in their cups ripple continuously.

Keep one hand on the river, and leave one hand on the shore.

Who could have imagined that the one who failed the river walk and fled, nearly dying, could not only stand up again but also take a huge step forward?

For powerhouses like this, none of the families sitting at the round table lack them; this is the true foundation of martial strength in a legacy force.

But this requires a sufficient base, generation after generation, layer after layer, like this tower, to build up the pinnacle.

In a large Weiming Weiming Weiming Lake, one can always find a few fat fish; this is not strange.

But in this small puddle, with only a few fish fry, how could such an existence be nurtured?

Most importantly, this person is surnamed Qin!

The Qin family is truly too special; no matter what strength tier they are in, you cannot truly treat them like someone of that strength tier.

Because an opponent at the same strength tier cannot kill him in the first instance, and then, in all likelihood, will be smashed to death by the Qin family's fists.

At this moment, that Qin family member outside the tower is gathering momentum to actively pressure those inside.

If anyone wants to take the challenge and step up, then according to the Qin family's habits, he will inevitably follow up and build up his momentum.

The wind outside the tower blew continuously on Qin Shu, and Qin Shu's hair scattered.

He is not arrogant, nor is he suppressed; he is calm inside.

Because he can afford to lose, he does not fear any challenge, and even deliberately makes no restraint, faintly calling for a challenge.

The people at the round table exchanged glances continuously.

The head of the Dragon King Tao family stood up first; his expression was the most relaxed.

The other family heads and sect leaders also stood up one after another.

Everyone didn't wait upstairs this time, nor did they stop on the stairs, but went downstairs.

The middle-aged man at the door lifted the curtain, bent down, and made a gesture of invitation.

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei and Liu Yi walked in.

As soon as they entered, they saw Ming Ming Qinyun sitting upright on the ground floor, facing the main entrance, looking like a dried corpse.

In an instant, Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei understood Ming Ming Qinyun's purpose and also knew the intention of the others in letting her sit there and wait for them.

This old woman is actively pushing herself out, using herself as a representative to seek confirmation from Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei regarding her attitude toward the entire Jianghu.

Ming Ming Qinyun saw Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei, smiled, and asked without any scruples:

"Seeing me like this, you must be very happy, right?"

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei did not pretend to be magnanimous and said bluntly:

"There was a time when I didn't want to pay attention to him, just because I felt that he had seen you offering yourself, and I felt his eyes were dirty, which disgusted me.

Now it seems that it was really my bad temper, acting out, and I wronged him.

He was the one who was truly difficult and truly bitter; his eyes were red whenever he saw me during that time, probably because he had been washing his eyes for a very, very long time."

Ming Ming Qinyun: "You really are still holding a grudge against me, hehehe."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei: "I am blaming you; don't you know that the Qin family has a natural resistance to poison and spiritual seal arts?

They are a bunch of rough guys who open their Qi gates on their foreheads.

Tell me, when you used poison and seals back then, you weren't even willing to use something good; you didn't let him remain clear-headed.

Or is it that you weren't unwilling to use it, but unwilling to do so?

Afraid that if he completely lost his mind, he would be calling someone else's name while lying in bed with you?"

A flush appeared on Ming Ming Qinyun's Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, and frost appeared on her lower body.

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei laughed.

The others also noticed this.

This indicates that this Ming family head is currently in a state of deviation, and her body is using external force to suppress it.

After a long time, Ming Ming Qinyun returned to normal and spoke again: "It's really been many years since I've seen you looking so smug; you must have been missing it and thinking about it, right?"

"Not really. When I was young, I was pampered by my elders; after I became an adult, I was protected by that person in the family; and when I got old, I had children to rely on. My life has really been quite boring; I was just destined to lie around."

At this time, other family heads and sect leaders spoke up:

"We only just found out that this generation of the Qin and Liu families has someone on the river."

"Truly great courage, and they are the co-masters of both families."

"Heaven's favor, indeed; it's true that the Jianghu would be much duller without the Qin and Liu families."

"This is treating us as outsiders; the Qin and Liu families cultivated successors without even letting us, the worldly families, know. No matter what, considering our past friendship, you should have lent a hand; otherwise, we wouldn't be able to Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face the ancestors in our family ancestral halls."

"Exactly, hiding it until now has made us worry so much."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei waved her hand, interrupting the opening remarks of the crowd, and smiled:

"Hehe, you have misunderstood; I didn't think that much about it. At this age, I have long since extinguished any thoughts of Jianghu strife.

I have retired to the countryside, leaving only two people by my side: one to farm and one to do chores. As for me, I just drink tea and make clothes all day long.

But who would have thought,

that suddenly one day, that child was carried by someone and sent to me."
