Outside the manor, three powerful auras appeared, demanding his attention!
Li Yaowen, before him, had a face full of smiles.
"Now," she asked, " we have a proper versation?"
As her words fell, two voices came from outside the manor.
"Lord Feng, this is Daoist Jiuyou, here with the new Sect Master to pay you a visit!"
Feng Qingyang reized the voice.
It was Daoist Jiuyou, the Grand Elder of the Skyveil Sect. He could eveify Daoist Jiuyou's Soul aura!
And then...
"Hahaha! Old dog Jiuyou, your new Sect Master is quite unimpressive. Look at his gloomy face!"
"Lord Feng, this is Daoist Tiangui. Old dog Jiuyou has a matter to discuss and has invited me to join. This Daoist is quite ied. I wonder if we could meet?"
Daoist Tiangui!
If it were just Daoist Jiuyou of the Skyveil Sect, he could uand. During the battle outside the Skyveil Sect that day, Daoist Jiuyou had cowered.
Later, he even found out that the new Sect Master of the Skyveil Sect was the eldest son of the Li family's third geion, the heir apparent.
But...
Bck Tortoise Sect?
Although he khat the long-standing feud betweewo sects had vanished after the war years ago, he couldn't uand how the Li family could have persuaded the Grand Elder of the Bck Tortoise Sect, Tiangui, to e!
But he uood that the arrival of these two fas was the "expnation" Li Yaowen had mentioned.
This meant...
That the Skyveil Sed Bck Tortoise Sect, likely due to Li Yaowen's secret maneuvering, might join his grand pn!
This also meant that the Li family truly uood why he hadn't killed Li Kuangren on the spot. Furthermore, they had already begun, i, to rally the forces they could utilize, siding with him and being his bde, ready to pletely reshuffle the power structure of the Azure Clion.
But...
He had wao trol the Li family, to make them serve him.
The arrival of the two Grand Elders from the sects, however, deviated from his pns.
It seemed the Li family's influence was beyond his imagination.
He suddenly fixed his gaze on Li Yaowen with a serious expression.
He uood everything Li Yaowen had just said.
Li Yaowen was telling him that he should cooperate with the Li family in training their three children, and he should also accept the marriage between Li Kuangren and Feng Mi, because...
The Li family was not isoted and alohey could rally the two major sects, and they secretly held sway over other forces. And there was also Li Yaowen herself!
They were qualified to be equals with the Jun Prince's Mansion, not to be used by them, aainly not to be their subordinates.
Li Yaowen was telling him, that he wasn't qualified to trol the Li family!
Moreover, he only had two choices: to coexist with the Li family as in-ws or try his best to hide his daughter and grandson and bee enemies with the formidable Li family.
It seemed that the current Li family wouldn't be signifitly affected by adding the Jun Prince's Mansion to their list of enemies.
"Sigh."
Feng Qingya out a long sigh, then fixed Li Yaowen with an id mog gaze. He burst into a hearty ugh. "Hahaha, it's just two measly sects!"
...
An hour ter.
In the backyard of the Jun Prince's Mansion, the three Li children finally emerged from the melting ice sculptures.
They immediately rolled their eyes. They didn't o look to know that this was the work of their family elders. The elders' favorite pastime was to knock them unscious or freeze them, then mysteriously take them te pces for cultivation. They were already prepared for another round of interaining.
Li Kuaarted to speak, based on his initial impression before being frozen. "Freat-grandaunt," he said casually, "we know we o cultivate, but there's o... Hm???"
The three of them gradually became bewildered.
Before their eyes, Freat-grandaunt sat in her wheelchair, smiling warmly at them.
Figures appeared before them.
Two old men, and a young man with a gloomy expression, staring at Freat-grandaunt with apparent annoyance.
And...
"Mi'er!"
A girl with a round fad a sweet, well-behaved appearance was holding the hand of a five-year-old child. The child looked just like Li Kuangren!
Even though Feng Mi had grown up a lot, Li Kuangren immediately reized the girl who had haunted his dreams. Feng Mi, her eyes filled with tears of joy, was holding the hand of a child dressed in fine clothes, who was curiously staring at him. He khis was the child born from his past transgression.
Beside Mi'er and the child stood Feng Qingyang, the person he feared the most.
But Li Kuaill moved forward. In the past, if he had seen Feng Qingyang, he would have desperately wao flee immediately.
Looking at Mi'er and the child, all his fear vanished in an instant. With firm steps, he walked towards his beloved and his child.
He was even prepared to be beaten half to death by Feng Qingyang.
His body was trembling.
Then...
As expected, Feng Qingyang pced his hand on his shoulder. Li Kuangren gritted his teeth. "You 't stop me from being with Mi'er and our child..."
Li Kuangren was ready to die.
But before he could finish his sentence, he stared in bewilderment at Feng Qingyang's haing on his shoulder. The instah he had imagined didn't happen.
Feng Qingyang's grip was strong, his fingers digging into Li Kuangren's shoulder as he patted it fiercely.
Then, with his eyes filled with killing i, he gave a smile that was uglier than g.
"Li Kuangren," he said, "from the moment I saw you st time, I knew you were a fine young man!"
"Hmm."
The words "fine young man" were squeezed out through gritted teeth.
