Chapter 765: Rules

Li Xinghan pondered slightly, secretly remembering to ask Li Xuanxuan, and responded, replying:

"The elder's order has its own considerations, then please brother work hard." Li Zhouluo was dressed in black. He practiced the Qi of Mang Gold. Regardless of the person himself, his temperament had a kind of awe-inspiring taste, making people feel convinced. He bowed and saluted, solemnly saying:

"Little sister, don't worry."

Li Zhouming on the side looked at this one and then at that one, somewhat wanting to speak but stopping. Li Zhouluo had presided over Qingdu and had punished Li Zhouming several times. He was naturally afraid of him, and couldn't say anything. Little sister Li Xinghan, although young, carried a sword on her back, and her murderous aura was heavy. He was also afraid of her.

Li Xinghan also couldn't like this Zifu direct grandson. The True Person's offspring were originally few. It was hard to have this one, but he was not capable of great things. She Li Xinghan had heard rumors about him even though she was outside:

"I heard... he has greed when he goes to the place, and is troubled by incompetence on the continent. The True Person doesn't value him, and didn't give him any good magic tools. He is not capable of fighting outside, almost lost to the cold gate in the place, purely losing face for the family. The old man is afraid of breaking this direct grandson... let him stay safe..."

Li Zhouming was indeed a Zifu direct grandson. It didn't matter if the family raised him for the sake of the True Person. Li Xinghan didn't like it very much. At the moment, she stepped and left. When she reached the hall door, she saw the Li Zhoufang brothers following this fourth brother down, humble and low, vaguely hearing voices:

'My brothers... father worked hard, died on the river, and now the younger brother is dead... the clan's subsidy, hoping to give that child a shelter official...'

Li Xinghan then remembered that the deceased Li Zhouken was actually the biological younger brother of the Li Zhoufang brothers. He was adopted back then to inherit the incense. These two brothers were silent to the elders, but they cared very much about the younger generation of their brothers. This was to ask for an official position.

'How much talent and effort, then take how much resources from the continent... Shelter has always been for outsiders. The clan is afraid that the descendants will sit back and enjoy the achievements for generations, and rarely do this... Harm!'

Li Xinghan felt a little bit, wanted to go back and mention a sentence, but heard the call from behind:

"Sister!"

It was Li Zhouming chasing out.

'Forget it... Brother Zhouluo should be able to handle it.'

Li Xinghan had to stop. Facing the young man holding the fan, she was still polite and asked:

"Fifth brother, what is the matter?"

Li Zhouming tucked his hands and laughed:

"I heard that sister is going to take people to the desert in the west to remove a group of wandering demon cultivators. I heard that there is a kind of 【White Falcon Gold】 in the desert, which cannot be bought on the lake, and can forge magic tools. Trouble sister to bring some back for me, I will make up for the spiritual resources for sister."

Li Xinghan was slightly strange and asked:

"You also started to ponder magic tools, it's really a good thing, I will definitely bring it."

Li Zhouming breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly thanked and retreated. The woman drove the wind and rose, flying all the way to the continent, pondering in her heart:

"It's also strange."

She secretly pondered, first turned to the cave to pack up things, and when the night was dark, she landed in front of a courtyard on the continent. The two kumquat pots in front of the courtyard gate had been replaced by lions stepping on gold and stone. The woman weighed it for a while and hesitated: "It's too luxurious!"

Pushing the door in, Li Xinghan finally had a smile on her face, shouting: "Mother!"

The woman was surprised and hurriedly welcomed her. The man who was holding chopsticks and tasting wine in the courtyard also looked over, and the brother and sister-in-law in the inner room also put down things and rushed out. The family was suddenly lively and pulled her in.

In fact, there were many contradictions in Li Xinghan's family. Her father was mediocre and frustrated, and her brother and sister-in-law had the intention of splitting the family. No one cared whether she went home or not. But since she came down from Zhijing Mountain, her brother and sister-in-law couldn't be driven away. Every time she went home, it was like celebrating a festival.

She was pulled to sit beside her father, listening to her mother full of spring breeze, laughing: "Han'er! Your uncle's merit has been accumulated for so long, and he has finally been promoted to the curtain of Wutuo Peak!"

The Li family's peak curtain was not a low position. One radish and one pit, not to mention Wutuo Peak was considered rich. Li Xinghan was suddenly happy and laughed:

"This can be considered as having made it through!"

She was happy, but felt something was wrong. Her uncle had the stain of the remnants of the Yu family, and his cultivation was not high. According to reason, it was very difficult to be competent for such a position. She immediately restrained her smile and asked: "When was the appointment?"

Mother laughed:

"The appointment at noon, he was also surprised and happy. This position is very grand. I heard that he hadn't come back in the middle of the night..."

'Noon?'

Li Xinghan's heart suddenly shook: 'I just left... Zhouluo brother specially promoted...'

Li Xinghan's joy faded, somewhat lost. The bamboo chopsticks were in her hand, and the dishes in front of her were not clamped, nor were they not clamped. She fell silent.

Li Xinghan asked herself, her Qi-refining Yu Zhen Qi 【Dao He Zhen Treasure Qi】 was given up by her uncle Chi Tiaozong, who didn't want it, and sat on the altar year after year to chant and pick it out. Frankly speaking, she could get the True Person's green eyes, and if she could Foundation Establishment in the future, almost half of the credit should be counted on this uncle of hers.

Even the sufficient help given by this uncle in her early resources and Dao path guidance, most of the fame she showed was helped by this uncle. She really had no ability to refuse this kindness...

She was even more silent. The relatives in the courtyard saw her appearance, and suddenly quieted down. Her father on the side glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Today Zhouluo is holding the family, and you are also one of the top figures in the Zhou Xing generation. Just accept some things. Your uncle has worked hard for decades, and it is time for him to get a return."

"Do you want to be a white-eyed wolf and ask your fourth brother to take back the order? Is it that your uncle did something wrong, or is your fourth brother's promotion based on merit not fair? You have to say a reason!"

It is a fact that Chi Tiaozong's ability is not weak, and it is also a fact that Li Zhouluo made a promotion to thank her for her support. Chi Tiaozong finally had a breakthrough in his official career. Li Xinghan really had no ability to refuse this kindness...

Li Xinghan usually looked down on those who favored private interests, but at this point, her lips opened and closed, and she couldn't say a word. She put down the bamboo chopsticks and said quietly:

"Just cherish it... I have been outside all year round, and the family is still the same. Don't be extravagant, especially since the old man just handled the funeral, everything should be simple."

The middle-aged man on the side put down the wine and replied:

"Eldest, sell the stone lions in front of the door tomorrow, and put the two kumquat pots back."

"Father picked them carefully a few days ago, happy and happy... always looking at the door... why sell them again..."

The brother sighed, Chi family made him shut up, held Li Xinghan, and said in a low voice: "Speaking of the old man's affairs... you are now a person on the continent, keep your life first in everything. If you have an accident, the hope of the family will be destroyed."

Li Xinghan hadn't answered yet, seeing her father's earnest words:

"We all understand... it is important to serve on the lake, but it is not two conflicting things to let your relatives and friends get some light while serving on the lake. Who is like a saint, not stained with half a benefit?"

"Daughter knows."

Li Xinghan ate two bites at random, it was difficult to swallow, knowing that her father was going to ask for an official position for her brother next, so she said goodbye and left the table. Her father didn't say a word, only her mother sent her out all the way.

Out of the courtyard, her spiritual sense could still see clearly. The large table of dishes was empty without her. Her mother shed tears, her father sighed, and her brother and sister-in-law looked at each other, in silence. It took a long time to hear her father's voice: "She is arrogant... without her, there is still your uncle, and there will be no less official position for you, but it is not good-looking, and it is easy to attract the attention of the clan head of Qingdu..."

Li Xinghan couldn't bear to listen anymore, hurried out, drove the wind and rose, letting the cold night wind blow on her face, her heart was dark: 'What arrogance! If I were really one of those who are dedicated to the lake like Aunt Minggong, my uncle would have no official position! It's just that I want face... In the final analysis... his affection is not big enough, and he can't command me...'

Li Xinghan has upheld the sword heart since she was a child, guarding the right and removing the evil. Now she only feels that her heart is clear:

"I usually feel that there are often private interests on the continent, which is Qingdu's dereliction of duty. Now it seems that this is what I can't keep myself."

She drove the wind all the way to Qingdu, and the colors of the Five Water Qing Yu Qian Array were on the side peak. She pointed in the air and landed on the side peak. The old man was in a blue-ink dress, quite formal, sitting silently in the pavilion.

Li Xinghan had never seen him rest, and this time was no exception, just bowed:

"Old man!"

Li Xuanxuan just glanced at it and said:

"Xinghan is here! Is it for Zhouluo's matter? Come in and talk."

Li Xuanxuan's generation was really too big. Li Xinghan only followed respectfully, arrived in the pavilion, and Li Xinghan said respectfully:

"The old man's order has its own considerations, and the junior has no doubts. The family has only the fourth brother who can take on this important task, but the junior saw the clan affairs for the first time, and is about to go out, and is slightly uneasy..."

She hesitated for a few breaths, quite uneasy: "The lake... there are many private interests... cultivators have heavy human feelings... Xinghan... is guilty!"

Li Xinghan told her family's affairs once, and heard Li Xuanxuan stop what he was doing, nodding silently. The old man sighed and replied: "Xinghan... how old is your father? What is his cultivation?"

Li Xinghan hurriedly bowed and said:

"Father is forty-seven years old, fetal breath fourth level."

Li Xuanxuan nodded slowly and replied:

"This child... the cultivation path of this life has stopped here. The remaining time is only a few decades, Xinghan... can you Foundation Establishment?"

Li Xinghan nodded slightly and replied:

"The child will try her best, there is still hope."

The old man sighed long and asked:

"What about Zifu?"

Li Xinghan could only say:

"Dare not ask for it!"

Li Xuanxuan said in a low voice: "The cultivation path of many people in this world stopped early. Not only do you not think about Zifu, but several young masters actually rarely ask for it. For you, reaching Foundation Establishment, cultivation is almost at the end, but the remaining time is a lot."

"There are countless cultivators like your father on this lake. Eighty percent of cultivators stop at fetal breath, a small batch practices miscellaneous Qi, and the Dao path is exhausted. The rest stop at Qi-refining, and most of them can't practice after a few levels, and there is a last batch stopping at the peak of Qi-refining."

The old man seemed to be stunned, and said heavily: "They don't have any Dao practice. The cultivation of this life is just here. How can the remaining time of hundreds of years be? Who can control these cultivators who can't move an inch? No one can control them!"

Li Xinghan was silent. Li Xuanxuan said leisurely: "They can do everything: slaughtering the people, having hundreds of concubines, killing people to take blood, practicing demon arts! Now, drilling into private interests to seek peace for descendants is the best result under education."

The old man said in a low voice:

"We can't control a group of people who are always greedy... we can only let their greed go elsewhere. Han'er, things are not achieved overnight. Maybe you juniors have better ways, but to keep the people peaceful, we can only do this for now."

Li Xinghan clenched her fists slightly, and the precious sword on her back emitted bursts of cold light in the moonlight. Li Xinghan said in a low voice: "Old man... but this... is it really in line with the righteous way..."

The old man leaned on the back of the chair, his snow-white beard resting on his wrinkled hands. Li Xuanxuan looked somewhat tired, and his voice was extremely light:

"We can't control a group of people who are always greedy... we can only let their greed go elsewhere. Han'er, things are not achieved overnight. Maybe you juniors have better ways, but to keep the people peaceful, we can only do this for now."

Li Xinghan's eyes slowly cleared, and she nodded thoughtfully.

"Xinghan, I have already told your fourth brother about this matter in the morning, I just want you to understand a truth."

The old man in front was hunched over the high red mahogany chair, shrinking in the shadow of the house, revealing a very heavy old age in an instant, his voice extremely light: "Many things outside the rules are also within the rules."

Continent.

The night was thick, the hall was still brightly lit, layers of books were stacked on the desk, Li Zhouluo read carefully, one hand supported on the desk, thoughtful.

He was in charge of the continent for the first time, and his heart was quite uneasy. He had been busy in this position since he discussed things with his brothers in the morning, and there were many secrets he just knew.

'So... so many outsiders belong to the continent. The family's outsider geniuses are really many. There are two who failed to Foundation Establishment on the continent...'

He examined it carefully. After most of the night, he heard the people below report: "My lord, the Third Young Master is back from the east bank and is waiting outside the hall."

Li Zhouluo hurriedly put down his pen and said:

"Please come in quickly." ===== CHAPTER 766 =====
