Chapter 552: Getting a Son

Li Li Qinghong put away the feather clothes and thanked Chu Chu Minglian. This old man was sent by the Ning family, and the reward was also calculated by the Ning family. Li Li Qinghong still took a storage bag from her sleeve and stuffed it into his hand. Chu Chu Minglian naturally didn't accept it. Li Li Qinghong just said softly: "Senior Chu's weapon refining method is superb, and my family may have many troubles later. The two families have been connected for a long time, so please accept it, senior."

Chu Chu Minglian hesitated for a moment, finally put it into his bosom, tucked his sleeves, and retreated. Li Li Qinghong sent him out of the hall, just bumping into the golden flow in the northern sky, flashing twice, and gradually fading.

She calculated the direction, which was precisely where the ruins fell: "Presumably, these ruins have been divided up, and the leftovers that no one has the energy to take away are left for the ordinary disciples of the sects to take."

Not only Li Li Qinghong, but the cultivators on the left and right were accustomed to it. After all, as long as there are ruins and cave heavens every year, they must be divided by the sects, and ordinary cultivators can't get half of them.

She looked carefully twice, and golden light rose from that place, dragging a tail of flame and driving the wind over, slowly enlarging, from far to near, and stopped in front of her. It was a woman in a Xiang-colored dress, with flowing Dharma clothes and a golden bead in her hand.

She stopped in front of the formation and smiled: "Is Li Qinghong in the formation? Xuanyue Kong Kong Tingyun comes to visit!"

"Sister Kong Tingyun."

Li Li Qinghong just paused slightly, and immediately understood. Xuanyue also had a share in that unnamed ruin. Kong Kong Tingyun was now in the late Foundation Establishment stage and was naturally sent there.

Kong Kong Tingyun had just returned from the North, but her aura was very stable, her clothes were neat, and she didn't look like she had returned from a big battle at all, but rather like she had broken through after refined cultivation.

She was as enthusiastic as usual, landed in the formation, smiled very sweetly, and said softly:

"I have sect affairs here. I heard that my sister is stationed nearby. After the things in my hand were finished, I came to see you immediately."

Li Li Qinghong let everyone disperse, pulled her into the cave abode, and replied: "It's been a few years, Kong Tingyun has really changed a lot."

Kong Kong Tingyun was much more noble in appearance now. Perhaps it was because she had just killed out of the cave heaven. Although her eyebrows were still curved with a smile, the clothes and Dharma power light on her body revealed a sharp taste.

"It's a chance, but the friendship hasn't changed. Li Qinghong, don't be a stranger."

Kong Kong Tingyun shook her head with a smile, accompanied her, and said in a low voice: "There were too many people and mouths before, so I didn't say much. It was actually that 【Dongning Palace】 that fell. I saw many people and things in it... but a few months, it was as hard as a few years."

Li Li Qinghong nodded softly, and Kong Kong Tingyun continued:

"My family's power was also between the Xu Kingdom and the Ning Kingdom in the early years. It was only after the clan change that we arrived in Jiangnan. I know something about these things. I gained benefits in 【Dongning Palace】 and heard some news."

She said in a low voice:

"Does Li Qinghong still remember the Wrathful Maha Fa Hui?"

Li Li Qinghong heard this name, her expression became solemn, and she replied:

"Naturally, I can't forget."

Li Li Tongya died for this matter. Not only Li Li Qinghong, but who in the Li family doesn't know? Kong Kong Tingyun just said: "He cultivated for nine lives, and was one step away from the Dharma image. He fell in Bianyanshan, and the Wrathful Dao was originally sparse, and it suddenly declined..."

"But I saw a monk there, collecting news from his mouth... saying that there was a loyal Compassionate one in the Wrathful Dao who returned from the Northern Desert, was sneak-attacked and seriously injured, but escaped and disappeared."

Li Li Qinghong keenly looked into her eyes, and her heart jumped like lightning: 'Was it really news collected? Or was it Senior Changxi reminding me through Kong Tingyun's mouth?'

Whether it was the former or the latter, there was no difference. Senior Changxi had shown favor to her family more than once. Li Li Qinghong hurriedly thanked her, but Kong Kong Tingyun waved her hand and said solemnly:

"Li Qinghong doesn't need to thank me, not only this matter... but also trouble."

"One is that a monk of the Empty Formless was killed after escaping into your family's territory. This monk was a Luo Han of the Five-Eye Compassionate... very valued, and killing is the first fate... I am afraid it will come to trouble later."

"Two is... there is a Compassionate one in the North, with the Dharma name 【Maha Nuzi】, who seems to be staring at Senior Li Xuanfeng, observing silently in the dark. Although there are Early Zifu cultivators in front, he dare not take action... but it is really uncomfortable..."

Calculating this way, cause and effect, three Compassionate ones actually stared at the Li family, making Li Li Qinghong's heart sink. She bowed and thanked:

"Thank you for the reminder from the Immortal Gate... I have remembered the favor."

Kong Kong Tingyun waved her hand and replied:

"There is another good news. Your noble family asked my family about the news of the Mingyang spiritual object in the early years. I haven't received the news, but now I finally saw a Mingyang Early Zifu spiritual object 【Mingfang Heavenly Stone】 in that 【Dongning Palace】!"

The Li family asked about the news of the spiritual object several times. The Cui family pointed to the Ning family's path, but Li Li Xuanfeng asked once, and Li Yuanxiu obtained a 【Suyuan Hua】 in the East Fire Cave Heaven.

But he had long used this spiritual object to exchange with the overseas True Person Puyi for 【Age Winter Cold Qi】 to assist Ning Wan in breaking through. This thing fell into the hands of True Person Puyi. This True Person's mountain gate was hard to find, ethereal and untraceable, and suddenly there was no trace.

Hearing her words, Li Li Qinghong was suddenly excited, hurriedly cast her gaze, and asked: "Did it fall into sister's hands?"

Kong Kong Tingyun shook her head regretfully and said in a low voice: "I was in a dangerous situation at that time and only took a hurried look. The hexagonal white stone Mingfang was flashing, and the light and fire were intertwined beside it, scorching the surrounding clouds into orange-red color. It was exactly the 【Mingfang Heavenly Stone】."

"This 【Mingfang Heavenly Stone】 was snatched by everyone, and later fell into the hands of Yufu Zi of the Senior Chang Xiao Gate."

Li Li Qinghong was a bit silent, but Kong Kong Tingyun raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice:

"This person has some strength and has grievances with me, but now I don't know where he is..."

Kong Kong Tingyun's meaning was slightly revealed, but Li Li Qinghong's heart sank.

The relationship between the Senior Chang Xiao Gate and the Xuanyue Gate was not good. Li Li Qinghong herself had actually killed people from the Senior Chang Xiao Gate, which had not been exposed yet.

Kong Kong Tingyun never thought about exchanging things, and she probably didn't think the Li family had anything that could move Yufu Zi. Li Li Qinghong couldn't just follow her words, so she remained silent.

Kong Kong Tingyun said softly:

"Yufu Zi is the direct lineage of Senior Chang Xiao. There are two Early Zifu cultivators in Senior Chang Xiao, and now there should be one watching in the Void... It is indeed difficult... The news is delivered. If your noble family has allies, you can try it yourself, and judge it yourself."

Li Li Qinghong thanked her softly. Kong Kong Tingyun naturally referred to Xiao Xiao Chuting. But in recent years, the Xiao family had become more low-key, closed their doors, Xiao Xiao Chuting was often not in Jiangnan, and the Xiao family members avoided everything, so they probably couldn't be a help.

Kong Kong Tingyun chatted for two sentences and left on the wind. Li Li Qinghong sent her out all the way, returned to the cave abode and thought carefully, and wrote a letter silently.

Li family.

Winter snow fell rustlingly. This year's snow was bigger. The cold snow on the bank accumulated on the long stone wall, gray and white distinct. Several pedestrians walked by in a hurry, holding new quilts.

This dam by the river was built because of the flood caused by the two sects borrowing the death of the Yuan family ancestor. The lake water retreated very early, leaving a long gray-white dam wall.

Li Li Zhouwei wore a black cloak, walking casually along the snow-covered road, followed only by An Siwei and Chen Yang.

His father, Li Li Chengliao, was in the late stage of Qi Refining and gradually handed over the family affairs to him, going up the mountain to cultivate. Although Li Li Zhouwei had not taken over the position of family head, the size of the family affairs had already fallen into his hands.

The Li family had reformed for several generations, and there was already a trend of separating secular clan affairs from Green Pool immortal affairs, like Li Brother Yuanping and Li Li Yuanjiao, Li Li Xicheng and Li Li Xijun brothers... but now it was different.

On Green Pool Mountain, Li Li Xijun was seriously injured and Li Li Ximing was in seclusion, so Li Li Zhouwei was in charge. Li Li Chengliao released power again, and the affairs of the middle hall also fell into Li Li Zhouwei's hands.

He took it calmly, just sitting in the middle hall every day, writing like a dragon, solving dozens of complicated clan affairs in a quarter of an hour, shaking his robes and returning to Green Pool Mountain, without any delay.

Now that he had been cultivating for a long time, he still had time to look at the people's livelihood by the lake.

Golden light flowed slightly in his eyes, and a green bird transformed from the magic treasure 【Qingxuan】 stood on his shoulder. This magic treasure was a gift from Yuan Tuan, and the phantom spirit bird was lifelike.

"How are the seven legacy families arranged?"

Li Li Zhouwei asked softly, holding his hands on his chest. Chen Yang behind him heard this and immediately said:

"They have already entered the towns to listen to orders. These people are in a state of guilt and are very diligent, but their status is one level lower than the families."

The "remnant clans" Li Li Zhouwei spoke of are naturally the various families left behind after the Yu family split. These families were all hauled to the southernmost part of the East Shanyue and left to clash with the various tribes there.

An Siwei calmly replied: "Reporting to the Young Master, all seven families now go by the name of Nanzhang Mountain, the southernmost part of the East Shanyue. They all claim to be from Nanzhang and no longer mention the past."

"Still smart."

Li Li Zhouwei replied casually, remembering Nanzhang in his heart, secretly thinking:

"It is also a useful clan system... neither afraid of offending others, nor born in a fierce place. That place is dangerous. A little reuse will not let them be exterminated, and it can also balance the inner clan."

Upon hearing An Siwei say "they all claim to be from Nanzhang," Li Li Zhouwei understood that these seven clans were intentionally standing together against a common enemy. Firstly, it allows them to deal with the local East Shanyue tribes, and secondly, it gives them a foothold among the various commanderies where the prominent surnames are locked in infighting.

The Li family had been in time for a hundred years, and there had long been factions within. Like Chen Yang behind him, he represented the Chen family, but he was also the leader of the Mount Lijing four towns in the various peaks.

An Siwei naturally represents the Seven Commanderies of Huayu, while the other Li family branches, the Eight Commanderies of Wutu, the Four Commanderies of Wan Huaqian, the Eighteen Commanderies of Milin, and the Twenty-six Tribes of Dongshanyue... each fights externally while harboring internal discord; the level of complexity is already vastly different from what it was a hundred years ago.

Among them, the Mount Lijing lineage was the most powerful. Li Li Zhouwei's reuse of people with bad reputations, and Chen Yang, whom the families didn't like, had to pull up An Siwei, whom the Huayu families were convinced by. Naturally, it was out of this consideration.

He was just thinking about promoting one or two people from Nanzhang, but saw the person below hurriedly come up to report: "Prince! News from the Clan Right Court!"

This confidant took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Li Zhouwei. He untied it and looked at it twice, and there was a rare joy in his brows.

"Xu Xu Peiyu is pregnant."

Xu Xu Peiyu was the first one Li Li Zhouwei brought into the door. Although he later married people from the An family and the Tian family, and now had four concubines to stabilize people's hearts, Xu Xu Peiyu still had some weight in his heart.

"No wonder."

This woman wanted to entangle with him every day when she saw him, and every time she had to be exhausted before she was willing to rest. There was no news for two days, and he thought she finally stopped for a while. It turned out she was pregnant.

He collected the letter in his hand, waved the two away, drove the wind to Mount Lijing Mountain, landed on the white jade-like courtyard in the middle hall, the guards on both sides bowed down one after another, and Li Li Zhouwei walked straight in.

"See the Prince!"

The two sides bowed down in front of the white armor court guards, the jade ge and jade sword clattered, laid out neatly, the voices were uniform, echoing in the main hall.

Li Li Zhouwei's boots stepped out cold sounds on the ground. Unlike his father Li Li Chengliao, Li Li Chengliao would stop for a while and let the guards get up first, but he walked straight to the end of the main hall, and then drifted a sentence: "Get up!"

Walking forward a few steps, he soon reached the back hall. His father Li Li Chengliao only had one wife. This place had always been empty, but now it was full, and he could often see maids walking by in a hurry.

Xu Xu Peiyu's building hall was very close. Li Li Zhouwei entered the hall and saw a doctor come forward, bowing respectfully, and called: "Congratulations to the Prince! Xu has been pregnant for one month."

The doctor raised his eyelids, but didn't hear a word, just looked at the shiny jade boots standing in front of him.

'It is often said that the adults are hard to measure... Sure enough...'

He only felt the sweat on his forehead flowing down, listening to the voice of the person in front:

"One month?"

Li Li Zhouwei's voice was a bit cold. He had seen Xu Xu Peiyu several times this month. Li Li Zhouwei was a cultivator, how could he not see whether she was pregnant? He just felt that this person's medical skills were not refined and he was full of nonsense.

"Husband."

Xu Xu Peiyu hurriedly greeted him. Li Li Zhouwei looked at her stomach, and his expression eased a lot, waving his hand to let this sweating guy go down, and carefully observed Xu Xu Peiyu's face.

Sure enough, although she was spirited, the circles under her eyes were a bit black, revealing a look of essence and energy decline, and her cheeks were much thinner than usual. Li Li Zhouwei was silent and followed her into the hall.

Golden light flowed in his eyes, and his face was low: 'This child is less than ten days old, but has the appearance of one month...'

Xu Xu Peiyu didn't know it yet, pulling him to talk about this and that. Li Li Zhouwei calmed her down calmly. This woman looked at his eyes very sensitively and said in a low voice: "I have felt dizzy and dizzy these days, my blood and energy are depleted, and I have almost fainted several times. I am afraid I need more tonic..."

"I will arrange it... please ask the elders to take a look first."

Li Li Zhouwei felt an ominous premonition in his heart, looked at her carefully twice, walked out slowly, leaving her still waiting in the hall.

Until Li Li Zhouwei disappeared, Xu Xu Peiyu's expression revealed a bit of panic, only feeling that all her essence and energy were flowing into her belly, sitting blankly on the seat, a slight terror appearing in her heart.

Every time she had intercourse with Li Li Zhouwei, there was a peony fragrance that intoxicated people, almost making her lose her mind. After Li Li Zhouwei left for a long time, Xu Xu Peiyu finally felt afraid, but as soon as he walked to the hall, she went to welcome him with ecstasy again.

"The Prince is divine and powerful, hooking the heart and taking the soul, yellow eyes and golden pupils, not like a human but like a demon..."

"How can a human produce a child with a demon... How can this be? I am afraid he will swallow and kill me easily!"

"Like a demon..."

Xu Xu Peiyu didn't dare to tell anyone, even her family only said that having a son was a good thing. At the moment, she felt her feet cold, sitting silently on the seat, her belly seemed to be weighed down by a big stone, making Xu Xu Peiyu unable to breathe.
