~8 min read 1,505 words

Seeing Mu Yalu like this, Li Jingtian was also shocked. Knowing that she had caused a misunderstanding, she hurriedly held Li Yuanjiao in one hand and helped her up with the other, saying repeatedly:

"Madam misunderstood! Madam misunderstood!"

Seeing Mu Yalu pause for a breath, her emotions slightly stabilized, Li Jingtian was clever, hurriedly handed Li Yuanjiao to Mu Yalu to show that she had no other intentions, supported her and apologized:

"It was Jingtian's words that were inappropriate, causing Madam to misunderstand. The elders in the family entrusted me to write the clan history, and the origins and bloodlines of the young masters must be checked one by one. Even if Gani Xi really came from the cousin line of the Mu Lu clan, the Li family would not be so base as to count the debt on this junior of their own family!"

Mu Yalu was still suspicious. Loving her son dearly, she didn't dare to put this stain on her Yuanjiao. She still insisted that Gani Xi was born a slave and had nothing to do with the Mu Lu clan. Li Jingtian had to turn to other aspects and asked some polite questions about whether she was used to life. The two chatted for a while, and Mu Yalu gradually relaxed.

Waving away the people around, Li Jingtian looked at Mu Yalu, whose expression was gradually calming down, hesitated for a moment, looked at the clothes on her, and said in a low voice:

"My eldest brother is dedicated to the family, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions. If you and your mother and son have any difficulties in the future, please send someone up the mountain to find me."

Mu Yalu was stunned, nodded hurriedly, thanked her in a low voice, watched Li Jingtian take people out of the courtyard, and then hugged Li Yuanjiao into the house, kissed the child's cheek, and thought to herself:

"In any case, these things must not be admitted. Xuansuan is stubborn. If he becomes suspicious, it will be inevitable that he will have a grudge against the child. After all, Gani Xi indirectly forced the death of the previous Li family head, Li Xiangping, and his son Li Xuanfeng has high cultivation. I cannot take the risk."

"This Li Jingtian is a kind-hearted person and will definitely not let these rumors spread. As long as this doesn't reach the First Lady, this matter will be over."

Placing little Yuanjiao on the bed, Mu Yalu looked at him with a smile. The soft moonlight poured down, and she prayed for the child in a low voice according to ancient witchcraft.

Li Jingtian went out of the courtyard and whispered to the clan soldiers beside her:

"Call someone to notify A Huila and tell him to keep his mouth shut. If these rumors reach the mountain, no one can protect him!"

The man hurriedly responded and left. Li Jingtian walked along the stone slab road up the mountain. Seeing the courtyard brightly lit and hearing conversation, she asked the clan soldiers in front of the door:

"Who is this?"

"Oh?"

Li Jingtian nodded, and was also slightly surprised in her heart. Chen Donghe was two years younger than Li Xuansuan. This breakthrough also had the cultivation of the fifth level of Taixi. Although it was nothing in front of Li Xuanfeng, it was considered excellent among the surrounding families.

Shaking her head, Li Jingtian turned to leave, but suddenly stopped. A person was standing right in front of her, blocking the way. Behind this person was a pitch-black longbow, and an arrow quiver hung at his waist. It was Li Xuanfeng.

"Brother."

Looking at this twin brother, Li Jingtian's expression was somewhat complicated. Because Li Xuanfeng broke through to Qi Refining, his appearance was even more youthful than Li Jingtian's, looking like a younger brother instead.

Li Xuanfeng practiced techniques after the age of seven, so he often lived in the Meichi Mountain cave dwelling to practice, and later lurked in the mountains to hunt monsters. The siblings met even less.

"Why are you always avoiding me?"

Li Xuanfeng frowned, looked at Li Jingtian's expression carefully, and always felt that something was wrong. He looked at her vigilantly and said gloomily:

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Li Jingtian sighed low and smiled:

"In two months, I will marry Donghe."

"What?!"

Li Xuanfeng was stunned. In an instant, he sorted out the ins and outs in his mind. Only then did he know why no one had ever notified him, and he had never heard of it. His momentum soared, and he said in surprise:

"Are you willing?!? Did Xuange use you to win over Chen Donghe?!"

Li Jingtian knew that this twin brother was a fierce person and might do something terrible, so she hurriedly smiled:

"Brother! If I am not willing, who in the family dares to order me? You don't have to think too much!"

Li Xuanfeng then calmed down, looked at her suspiciously, and gritted his teeth:

"Really?"

"Really!"

"No matter what, this person quietly dug away my sister, I still have to beat him up to vent my anger!"

Having said that, he turned and entered the house, and there was a clatter inside. Li Jingtian chuckled, and the various worries in her heart were relieved a lot. She walked lightly to the side courtyard.

————

Lu Sisi flew to Lijing Mountain on the wind, his magic power running between his eyes, and saw a piece of golden light shining before his eyes, his heart suddenly shocked, muttering:

"What a brilliant formation."

He was immediately envious and thought to himself:

"This formation is probably worth a lot. I'm afraid it used the White Feather Purple Catalpa Flag from back then. It's just that where did this Li Tongya get such a good formation master? He is truly wealthy..."

While inciting magic power, he transmitted his voice:

"I am Lu Sisi of the Tiaoyun Lu family, here to visit Fellow Daoist Li Tongya. Please open the great formation."

"Brother Tongya."

Lu Sisi cupped his hands. Li Tongya hurriedly invited him into the courtyard, but was very surprised. Looking at Lu Sisi, who seemed to have changed into a different person, he asked somewhat complicatedly:

"Senior Lu! How did you become like this!"

Lu Sisi's long white hair was no longer as clean as snow, but revealed a trace of dead gray. The wrinkles on his face were deeper, his eyes were dim, his left hand trembled from time to time, and his face was full of bitter smiles.

"The world is difficult! Let Brother Tongya see a joke!"

"Sigh."

Li Tongya shook his head, knowing that this person probably didn't have many years to live. He sat on the main seat and said gently:

"What pointers does the old senior have?"

Although he was moved in his heart, Li Tongya didn't mean to be soft at all. Once Lu Sisi died, the Lu family would not want the share of the mine, and Huaqian Mountain would likely fall into the hands of the Li family.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"

Lu Sisi hurriedly waved his hand and replied:

"Does Brother Li remember the Moon Lake market?"

"Naturally I remember!"

After that battle, Moon Lake became a ruin, and the forbidden great formation was still running on the island in the lake, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators had to retreat three points when they saw it.

They, these families, also coveted the island in the lake with abundant spiritual energy, but they didn't have treasures like the Thunder-Breaking Wedge in their hands, and they could do nothing about the forbidden great formation full of thunder and fire. The valuable treasures in the market had long been searched by those Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there was no attraction, so they had to leave it in the center of the lake, unattended.

"Mortals?"

Li Tongya was suddenly full of doubts. Lu Sisi didn't dare to sell the official position and replied:

"These loose cultivators went to the prefecture to deceive a group of mortals, seeking wealth and immortality with them, so they used large ships to carry them to the edge of the island, letting them go to get items on the island in the lake."

"This forbidden great formation sacrifices the stability and integrity of the great formation in exchange for the power of the great formation, and there are many loopholes in it. Throwing one or two thousand mortals into the formation, one will fall into the formation, which can allow the mortal to take spiritual objects from the ruins. The forbidden great formation is against the outside and not the inside, so it can be brought out generously."

Li Tongya was silent for a breath after listening to this and replied:

"What does the senior mean?"

Lu Sisi slapped his thigh, smiled flatteringly, and replied:

"How can these things be done by them!" ===== CHAPTER 131 =====
