Li Ziye disappeared.

The big news in the East China Sea finally reached the Central Plains.

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

The influence of the Li family in the Shang Dynasty was astonishing.

After many years of management, the Li family's overt and covert forces have spread throughout the entire Shang Dynasty.

People in the world pursue profit, human nature is like this, no one can be an exception.

This is also the reason why the Dashang royal family did not dare to take action against the Li family.

It's not that it can't be done, but that the cost is too high and the gain outweighs the loss.

It took ten years for the Li family to go from darkness to light, and it also took ten years for Dashang Imperial City to go from knowing the existence of the Li family to truly realizing the threat of the Li family.

Raising tigers will lead to disaster, and it will be too late to regret.

Today's Li family is no longer an ordinary businessman family, but represents a huge chain of interests.

Overtly or covertly, the existence of the Li family affected the economic lifeline of half of the Shang Dynasty.

And Li Ziye, as the only legitimate son of the Li family, could be said to be the wealthiest person in the entire Shang Dynasty.

But, now, Li Ziye is missing.

The news coming from the East China Sea is so shocking.

If something happens to the legitimate son of the Li family, it means that the behemoth Li family will lose its only heir.

This was a devastating blow to the Li family.

Shocked, all parties immediately sent people to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Soon, more detailed news came back that the Li family's legitimate son had indeed disappeared and fell into the sea.

The vast East China Sea is so vast. Falling into the sea and missing is almost equal to death.

Unless you are a great practitioner of the Five Realms.

However, the legitimate son of the Li family is not a great practitioner of the Five Realms.

Li Yuan and Li Youwei almost fainted after receiving the news.

Taixue Palace.

A young figure wearing a white robe and an ancient sword hurried towards the east courtyard.

To the east, in a quiet courtyard.

Confucius and Faru, two elderly people, were playing chess.

Since losing his cultivation, Fa Ru's face seems to have become much older.

However, he seems to be in good spirits.

After relinquishing his position as the Master, he spent every day playing chess with the Confucian leader, growing vegetables, or spraying students in the Taixue Palace. He was very carefree.

"Confucian leader, you lose."

When Fa Ruzi fell down and decided the winner, he couldn't help laughing.

"sharp."

Confucius also had a smile on his face and said, "Your chess skills have made great progress."

"I have nothing to do, so I found a few more chess books to read, and I benefited a lot." Fa Ru said with a smile.

"It seems that you like your current life very much. I heard that you scolded a student again yesterday?"

Confucius picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one and said with a smile, "These children from Taixue are becoming more and more afraid of you."

"I used to have a lot of responsibilities, so I had a lot of worries, but now, haha."

Faru laughed and said, "No wonder the boy from the Li family likes to curse people so much. Sure enough, it is very refreshing."

"You!"

Confucius chuckled lightly and said, "Speaking of which, the Li family boy's matter is making a big fuss now, and your disciple can hardly sit still."

"Have you forgotten your words?"

Hearing this, Fa Ru nodded and said, "It's probably coming soon."

"Confucian leader!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Disciple, Bai Wangyu wants to see you!"

In front of the small courtyard, Bai Wangyu stood there anxiously, confused by concern, and lost his usual calmness.

In the courtyard.

Confucius and Faru looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

Sure enough, it came.

Young people!

No matter how outstanding you are, you still can't calm down when things happen.

"Come in!"

Confucius answered.

Outside the courtyard, Bai Wangyu heard the Confucian leader's response and immediately stepped into the small courtyard.

"Master?"

In the courtyard, Bai Wangyu was slightly surprised when he saw Fa Ru, who was opposite the Confucian leader. He immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple has seen the Confucian leader, the master."

"Wangyu, are you in such a hurry? What happened?" Faru said with a smile.

"Master, Mr. Li is missing in the East China Sea." Bai Wangyu said urgently.

"I heard about it."

Faru smiled and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. That boy is lucky and has a great destiny, so he won't die."

"But."

Bai Wangyu looked anxious and said, "According to the news from the East China Sea, all the big pirates in the East China Sea have been dispatched, but there is still no trace of Professor Li. The disciple is worried that Brother Li has encountered some trouble.

.”

"What do you want to do?"

Opposite Fa Ru, Confucius picked up the chess pieces back into the chess box and asked.

Bai Wangyu's expression changed. After a moment, he said seriously, "I want to take a trip to the East China Sea."

"Nonsense."

Hearing this, the Confucian scholar frowned slightly and scolded, "You are the chief disciple of the Confucian sect and you also hold the position of teaching in the North Academy. How can you leave so easily?"

Bai Wangyu was silent, not answering, but not giving in.

"It's not impossible to go."

Confucius said calmly, "The Li family boy will indeed be in a lot of trouble this time, but it's not appropriate to just go like this."

A look of confusion flashed across Bai Wangyu's face. What did the Confucian leader's words mean?

"You go to Li Garden first."

Confucius said, "Let's see what the eldest daughter of the Li family says."

"Miss Li?"

Bai Wangyu was surprised, quickly recovered, and respectfully responded, "Yes!"

Not long after, Bai Wangyu left the small courtyard and walked towards the outside of Taixue Palace.

"Confucian leader, what is the meaning of this?"

In the courtyard, Fa Ru was confused.

"What happened to the boy of the Li family has wide implications. If it is not handled properly, the foundation of the Li family will even be shaken."

Confucius put all the chess pieces back into the chess box. There was no wave in his vicissitudes of eyes, and he said calmly, "If Wang Yu wants to go, let him go. Of course, it can't be in vain. A visit to Li Garden is a good way for those in the capital."

People see it as giving themselves some opportunities."

"What does Confucianism mean by knocking on the mountain to shake the tiger?"

Fa Ru's expression condensed and he said, "Use Wangyu's identity to express the attitude of our Confucian sect and warn those who want to add insult to injury?"

"good."

Kong Qiu nodded and said, "The Li family cannot be in chaos, otherwise, half of the Shang Dynasty will be in chaos. Besides, Wang Yu will definitely have to suffer a lot when he goes to the East China Sea. No matter what, he has to let the eldest daughter of the Li family accept this favor."

.”

Fa Ru understood the meaning of Confucian leader's words and sighed, "Confucian leader, are these two people really destined?"

All this time, he had never seen the connection between Wang Yu and the Li family's daughter. Even Li Ziye said that his eldest sister and Wang Yu had not even exchanged a few words.

"Let nature take its course. Whether it is destined or not is not up to us." Confucius replied.

An hour later.

Li Yuan.

Bai Wangyu stepped forward.

After Li Yuan saw Little Red Riding Hood, no one stopped her.

In the hearts of the people under the Li family, this Confucian disciple was basically equal to half of Li Yuan's master.
