Chapter 208: People from Shanyue

"In the third month of spring, the Yu family used art to hide in a treasure pearl, which was placed in Qingwu, and was dug up by a servant and offered to Young Master Xiu. At that time, thunder and fire came out, the house collapsed, and Xiu passed away."

Li Yuanyun had grown up a lot, his black hair was tied up, and he had the appearance of a youth. He raised his head to look at the half-burned wooden slip, his eyes sour, and continued to write:

"The lower people had many mournful sounds, and every household wore mourning clothes, so I knew the ruthlessness and sinister nature of Young Master Gao of the Yu family."

Li Jingtian was pregnant, leaning on the desk, squinting her eyes in sleepiness. Chen Donghe had already returned to the mountain to take care of his wife. In the sunset, he took two oranges and peeled them. The pale golden sunset fell on the middle-aged man's white robes, lighting up a few golden light spots.

"Aunt, please take a look."

Li Yuanyun offered the written book silk. Li Jingtian looked at it and said softly:

"Okay."

Li Yuanyun took it back, checked it twice, then put down his pen, picked up the half-burned wooden slip and looked at it. The words on it were scorched black, leaving only sporadic strokes. He carefully turned it over, and there were a few complete words left on the side, which was a signature.

"... Gift to younger brother Yun"

Li Yuanyun was still looking at the wooden slip in his hand. Li Jingtian on the side took the orange handed over by Chen Donghe and said in a low voice:

"Yun'er, in the current situation, there is no candidate for the family head in the family. Do you want to go down the mountain to do something..."

Li Jingtian's words were straightforward. Li Yuanyun knew that Li Jingtian was asking if he had the intention to be the family head. He shook his head and answered:

"Nephew doesn't have this idea. First, nephew doesn't like managing affairs, and second, there is still Brother Jiao. He has spiritual apertures and is more suitable than me."

"Mortals are too weak in front of immortal cultivators after all. If a mortal is allowed to manage these Fetal Breath and Qi Refining cultivators, I'm afraid it will damage the majesty of my family."

Li Yuanyun explained his concerns, and Li Jingtian nodded slightly and answered softly:

"Also."

She looked at Li Yuanyun, who was reading with his head down, and continued:

"It's just that you are of age. Staying on the mountain all year round like this, I'm afraid you don't have a favorite woman..."

After saying this, she turned her head to look at Chen Donghe, who was peeling oranges obediently on the side, and asked:

"Are there any spiritual aperture children of appropriate age under the mountain?"

Chen Donghe raised his head and thought for a while, answering warmly:

"There are none. The young ones haven't grown up yet."

Li Jingtian pondered for a few breaths, had no choice but to give up, leaned on the desk and squinted her eyes in sleepiness. Li Yuanyun and Chen Donghe both quieted down. For a time, the courtyard was golden in the sunset, leaving only her even breathing.

————

"Family head."

Li Xiewen still had white cloth tied around his forehead, bowed to Li Xuanxuan on the side, and said in a low voice:

"Shanyue has sent someone."

"Oh."

Li Xuanxuan raised his eyebrows. His face was still in his thirties, but his expression was quite exhausted, looking much older. He pondered for a breath and asked:

"How are the few children of Shamoli left in the Li family?"

"The children are all no more than three or five years old, and nothing can be seen. They are all studying in the school of the clan's disciples."

"I know. Let them come up."

Li Xiewen responded and retreated. Li Xuanxuan sat back in his position, ground the ink, spread out the talisman paper, and began to draw talismans.

The second talisman in Li Xuanxuan's hand had not been finished yet. The bright red pen tip outlined on the pale yellow talisman paper. The envoy did not dare to make a sound, knelt on the ground trembling and waited for a while. Li Xuanxuan then lifted the pen, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded quite satisfied.

Li Xuanxuan's success rate in drawing talismans was now two or three out of ten. He had succeeded twice in a row, which was rare, and thought secretly:

"Since breaking through to Qi Refining and cultivating the 'Cave Spring Clear Spirit Formula', this technique is quite compatible with talisman arts, and drawing talismans has become increasingly smooth!"

Only then did he raise his head to look at the envoy, seeing him in white clothes, with a layer of hemp clothes outside, Li Xuanxuan said in a low voice:

"Why did the envoy come?"

"Shanyue King heard that Young Master Xiu was assassinated and was extremely sad, so he let his subordinates bring tributes and offer three hundred and sixty slaves to be buried with the Young Master..."

Now that Shanyue had become a vassal, the envoy no longer dared to call Shamoli "my great king", but called him Shanyue King, and even called himself a subordinate, with a low posture. Li Xuanxuan frowned after hearing this and said in a deep voice:

"My family doesn't engage in that set of burial. Send the slaves back."

"Yes."

The envoy touched a bad head and kowtowed hurriedly, kneeling on the ground. Li Xuanxuan raised his eyebrows when he saw this and asked:

"Anything else?"

The envoy was sweating profusely, his white clothes sticking to his body, revealing his rough bronze skin, and answered:

The envoy knelt below trembling. Li Xuanxuan said nothing, staring at him quietly, thinking secretly:

"Shamoli should not have discovered the problem with that technique, just thinking about whether he can take back one or two of these hostages to cultivate."

Li Xuanxuan raised his head and said in a low voice:

"Then take the princess back."

The envoy below paused slightly. Shamoli didn't care about his daughter at all, just wanted to bring back a few boys, but he didn't dare to say more, and stood up as if granted amnesty, saying repeatedly:

"Thank you, Great King!"

"Hmm."

Li Xuanxuan responded, and the man retreated hurriedly. Li Xiewen stepped forward and handed over a piece of cloth.

"The several spiritual objects offered by East Shanyue are all recorded on it, mostly things at the Fetal Breath level."

Li Xuanxuan took it and looked at it, estimated for two breaths in his heart, sneered, and said in a low voice:

"It looks like a lot, but adding them all together won't exceed three spiritual stones. According to the news we have probed, Shamoli is not easy either."

Li Xiewen nodded below. Li Xuanxuan took out another piece of talisman paper, outlined it with a bright red pen, and thought secretly:

"Shamoli won't be able to discover the sequelae of this technique for a while. After he marries a wife and passes more than ten years, he will definitely find something wrong. At that time, he will be in a hurry to find his son."

Shamoli appeared in Li Xuanxuan's eyes again, holding a big hammer, with thunder shooting everywhere. He was worried and pondered:

"If Uncle failed to break through, then surround and kill this person. 'Purple Thunder Secret Origin Technique' is a profound technique after all. Although this person swallowed miscellaneous Qi, it cannot be underestimated. Shanyue has hundreds of thousands of people after all, and it can be a disaster at a critical moment."
