"By the way, please contact the Qin family again." Li Dongkui thought for a while and said, "You are the fiancée of Qin Luo, the only son of the Qin family. If the Yang family and the Yu family really go to war with us, the Qin family must help us with all their strength."
A complicated look suddenly appeared on Li Yatong's face, and she seemed to be reluctant to say, "Dad, do you have to contact the Qin family? Didn't you say that you have submitted a rescue application to the Zhengxuan Sect? We are an affiliated family of the Zhengxuan Sect. Every year
To worship them, the Zhengxuan Sect will never sit idly by and do nothing, and they should send experts to help us."
Li Dongkui smiled bitterly and said: "If the masters of the Zhengxuan Sect can come, will I still go to all the trouble? Although our Li family has a certain power in Maplewood City, compared with the big sects like the Zhengxuan Sect, there is a big difference.
It's far away, and people don't care about the small amount of offerings we make every year. Although I have sent out an application for help, it is probably dead in the water! Don't point at this road."
Li Yatong stomped her feet bitterly: "Dad, why should we give offerings to the Zhengxuan sect? We can save some resources every year. Why don't we do something bad and have to stick to someone else's cold butt?"
Li Dongkui said: "How could you understand? Becoming an affiliated family of the Zhengxuan Sect is an opportunity that I have worked hard to get. If you are not willing to worship, there are many people who are willing. At least you can pull the tiger skin to scare everyone. After we get the key, the Yang family
Why do you dare not take action against us? In addition to considering the Qin family, you are not worried about the Zhengxuan sect! It’s just that this flag can only be used as a cover. You should contact the Qin family as soon as possible. "
He paused and then said: "I know you don't like Qin Luo very much, but Qin Luo is also an acquired second-level cultivation, and his talent is not inferior to yours. If he is a good match, he is the only one in Maplewood City.
What's more, in this situation, we must bring the Qin family over to have any hope of fighting against the Yang family and the Yu family."
"My daughter understands, let's make arrangements now." Li Yatong whispered.
She passed Xia Chen and Li Qitong with a gloomy expression and walked out of the hall.
"Dad, what's wrong with my sister? If you don't like Qin Luo, why do you want to marry the Qin family?" Li Qitong asked.
"What do children know? Go out quickly. If you have nothing to do these days, just stay at home and don't wander around. Xiaochenzi, please keep an eye on her for me so that she doesn't worry anyone." Li Dongkui waved his hand.
.
"I'm not a child." Li Qitong walked out of the hall angrily, "Come on, little Chenzi, ignore them, I'll arrange a place for you."
Xia Chen followed Li Qitong and heard the conversation between Li Dongkui and his daughter. He also roughly knew the reason why the Yang family threatened the Li family, but he didn't know what the treasure key was, and he even let the two cultivating families fight to snatch it.
Should he get involved in this dispute? Xia Chen hesitated.
Although his mission is to help the Li family, the main purpose of going down the mountain is to gain experience. Whether the mission is completed is not important. For a mission like this, even if it is completed, the sect will only reward a bottle of Vitality Pill. Now Xia Chen wants the Vitality Pill.
More or less. Besides, it is impossible for anyone in the sect to verify whether it is completed. Li Dongkui is right. For ordinary small cultivating families, the Zhengxuan sect is too lazy to care.
The two walked to the backyard, and Li Qitong pointed to a large, neat house: "Xiao Chenzi, where do you want to live? These are the rooms in my house. There are many guests living here, and the conditions are very good."
Xia Chen said nonchalantly: "Second Miss, I don't have any requirements. Just find me a quiet and soundproof room."
Li Qitong thought for a moment, then suddenly tilted her head and said with a smile: "Yes, there happens to be an empty room outside my room. You can live there. It's still close to me. It's convenient for me to come to you if I need anything. I'll let someone take care of it there."
Clean it up."
Xia Chen nodded and said, "That's very good."
"By the way, Xiao Chenzi, you are so close to my boudoir, so you won't be spying on me, right? I heard that men are very lustful? Are you lustful?" Li Qitong suddenly approached him and said mysteriously.
This question was asked... Xia Chen said helplessly: "I'm not lewd, and I won't spy on you, so don't worry."
"You're not horny, why aren't you horny? Are you a man?" Li Qitong asked curiously.
"Second Miss, you are back? Haha, I really miss you." Suddenly, a clear voice came over.
With the sound of footsteps, about seven or eight people came from not far away from the courtyard. The leader was a young man in white. He was shaking a peach blossom fan in his hand. He seemed quite chic. He looked at Li Qitong with undisguised expression in his eyes.
Showing passionate admiration.
"Hello, Miss Second!" Several other people saluted one after another.
"Zhou Lin, you are all here. By the way, didn't my sister arrange anything for you?" Li Qitong nodded, but her expression became lighter, as if she was a little impatient.
"The eldest lady is not here. We don't know. Is the second lady here to hang out? How about sitting down and chatting together?" Zhou Lin was startled, then smiled slightly.
"No, Zhou Lin, I have to help my friends find a place to live, so I won't disturb you anymore." Li Qitong said. Her tone was quite indifferent, as if she had no interest in Zhou Lin.
"Friend?" Zhou Lin then looked at Xia Chen.
Seeing that Xia Chen didn't look amazing and was silent, he thought he was Li Qitong's follower, but he didn't expect that he was actually a friend. And when he heard that Li Qitong's tone was very intimate, he seemed to attach great importance to Xia Chen, and his eyes couldn't help but condense, and flashed
Jingmang.
Zhou Lin suddenly smiled slightly: "Second Miss, I understand. This friend must be the guest you just recruited. Don't bother looking for a room. I have plenty there. How about I take this new friend with me?"
"Thank you, but no need!" Li Qitong said, "I have already found a room for Xia Chen, it's right next to my room."
Zhou Lin's expression changed. Almost all the guests of the Li family were arranged in the backyard. Xia Chen, who was so virtuous and capable, was actually arranged next to his boudoir by the beautiful second lady. The relationship between the two was extraordinary.
He felt jealous and sour in his heart. He thought that this boy was not very good-looking, so why should he be so valued by the second lady? He couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "In Lin next week, it turns out to be Brother Xia Chen. I'm glad to meet you."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
Xia Chen looked on coldly, not knowing what he meant. He smiled faintly and held Zhou Lin's hand: "I'm also very happy to meet Brother Zhou!"
"Haha, that's such a pleasure to meet you..." Zhou Lin sneered and squeezed his hand hard, thinking that today I will make you look embarrassed in front of the second lady.
Xia Chen let him hold it, with no expression on his face.
Zhou Lin's face gradually changed. He had already used five points of his strength, but this boy was still acting as if nothing had happened. Damn it, could he have made a mistake? This guy, like himself, has acquired the first level of cultivation?
"A mayfly shakes a tree, you don't overestimate your own capabilities!" Li Qitong knew that Zhou Lin was humiliating himself, she hugged her shoulders and said with disdain.
Zhou Lin's face suddenly turned red, he gritted his teeth, and with a cruel heart, he added another 30% strength to his hand.
Xia Chen frowned. He didn't want to cause trouble. He thought Lin would retreat this week, but he didn't expect that the other party would not know what to do.
With a little luck, his true energy immediately turned into countless sharp energy needles, which emerged from the skin of his palms.
"Ouch!" Zhou Lin yelled, almost jumping three feet high. He took a few steps back, breathing in the cold air. His expression was distorted by the pain, and his palms had become red and swollen, like roasted bear paws.
The other guests were shocked. Zhou Lin wanted to make things difficult for Xia Chen, and everyone could see it. This week, Lin Xiuwei was quite good among the guests. He thought Xia Chen would suffer, but unexpectedly, Zhou Lin was frustrated and made a fool of himself.
"You guy, you actually used a hidden weapon to plot against me? You are so despicable!" Zhou Lin was shocked and angry. He didn't know that Xia Chen had strong control over his true energy and could change the shape of his true energy at will. He also said that Xia Chen really used insidious poison.
means.
"Shut up, Zhou Lin, you are provoking Xia Chen for no reason. Now that your skills are inferior to others, what nonsense are you talking about!" Li Qitong scolded.
Zhou Lin's blood surged upwards. He failed to provoke and made a fool of himself in public. Seeing that Li Qitong only defended Xia Chen, he felt extremely angry and said sternly: "Second Miss, I'm not talking nonsense. I shook hands with this guy with good intentions, but he used
Injuring me with a hidden weapon is either despicable or something else. Maybe this guy is a spy with bad intentions and evil intentions. You must not be deceived by him. Wait until I take him down and let the young lady interrogate him in person!"
He jumped over with red eyes and punched Xia Chen!
"Get out!" Xia Chen said expressionlessly, and kicked Zhou Lin in the lower abdomen.
boom!
Zhou Lin flew out and fell in a panic among the flowers. Not only did his peach blossom fan turn into pieces, but even his new white clothes turned into beggar's clothes.
"Zhou Lin, you are not only rude to my friends, but you also dare to slander me. I must tell dad to kick you out! You are not worthy of being a member of our Li family. Xia Chen, let's go and ignore him." Li Qitong
said angrily.
"Second Miss, please listen to my explanation, I didn't..." Zhou Lin hurriedly got up, with a look of regret on his face.
"What are you making a fuss about!" Suddenly, an angry voice sounded, and then Li Yatong walked over with a pretty face.
"See Miss!" All the guests hurriedly bowed and said, much more respectfully than when they saw Li Qitong.
Apart from Li Dongkui, this unsmiling eldest lady has always been in charge of affairs in the Li family, and all the guests are in awe of her.
"Miss, you came just in time. Please comment. Second Miss brought this person in. I shook hands with him and said hello with good intentions. He actually hurt me with a concealed weapon. It is simply unreasonable. Miss, if you don't give me an explanation, I will
Zhou Lin, just..." Zhou Lin said angrily. But what if he didn't give an explanation, but he didn't say it anyway.
Li Yatong's face changed and she walked up to Xia Chen: "It's you again. My father is willing to take you in, which is already a great favor. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also hurt the guests invited by my Li family. I'm warning you.
