"That boy has not been engaged in a serious career since he was a child and does not follow the right path of cultivation. He prefers to perform and sing. He said that his dream is to become a poet that everyone admires.
Listen, listen, what a bullshit dream this is!"
The mighty way of Reuben.
"Uh..." Li Xuan was speechless.
If we were on Earth, we would indeed often see and hear similar dreams on TV, and wouldn't think there was anything wrong with them.
But in the Five Wheels Peak world, there is indeed a slight sense of dissonance.
"A poet...isn't he an actor? He eats too much all day long without a meal, wandering around! He is my grandson, Ruben Hong, and he is so willing to degenerate. It makes me angry to death!"
Speaking of his grandson, Lu Benhong was really furious.
Probably because he was too angry, he slapped the table and asked the boss to bring two more glasses of soju.
"It's good for young people to have their own dreams."
Li Xuan didn't know what to say. This was the old man's housework, so it was best not to interrupt.
"Anyway, I didn't agree with him being a poet. As a result, this kid ran away from home, saying that he would travel all over the country to collect poetry and come back when he became a real poet."
Ruben Hong drank half the glass of wine in one gulp, letting the wine spill on his beard without wiping it, and muttered angrily.
"Then you came out to find him?"
"That's right... I found out that he appeared in the Eastern Province a few months ago, so I asked Yue Wei to come over first, and then I went to look for him myself.
But after months of searching, there were no clues.
This brat seems to have disappeared from the world!"
Ruben Hongdao.
"Then what you mean by asking me to take care of him..." Li Xuan felt that something was wrong.
"Li Xuan, you are a reliable young man.
I beg you, during the year I go to dominate the ladder, you must help me find that brat, even if it is tied up, I must keep him!"
Sure enough, Lu Benhong patted Li Xuan on the shoulder and said sincerely.
Li Xuan's eyes widened. What is this? I'm not a lost and found person. Where can I find your grandson?
"Anyway, I'll leave them both to you!"
Regardless of whether Li Xuan agreed or not, Lu Benhong already showed a happy smile.
Li Xuan completely forgot what happened next. He only remembered that he had a deep sleep after returning home.
The old man is really good at drinking. How did he get twelve large glasses of wine into his stomach?
After sleeping all night, Li Xuan woke up the next morning and saw a note stuffed under the door.
There were only three words on the note: I'm leaving.
"Smelly old man, why are you in such a hurry? I want to refine another high-level immortal talisman for you!"
Li Xuan muttered with some annoyance, "Forget it, since you are gone, I will slowly look for materials.
I’ll give it to you as a gift when you come back from the Domination Ladder.”
The next few days were uneventful. Except for Fei Jian, the head of the Fei family, who personally came to apologize and ceded a piece of territory to the Li family as compensation for Li Xuan, no other major events happened.
The Li family is back on track, the spirit crystal veins are still being mined secretly, making a fortune in silence, and the expansion and renovation of Kuixing Castle is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
After Li Xuan had a talk with Peng Yue, he expressed his understanding of what happened in Greenfield City, but he also stated that he no longer wanted to join any Talisman Masters Association.
Peng Yue naturally didn't say much, but just told Li Xuan that since he had the status of imperial envoy, even if he was not stationed in Maplewood City permanently, he should show up anyway.
"Why don't you stay there permanently?"
Hearing this suggestion, Li Xuan sneered.
Maplewood City auction, mysterious archers, and those Black Cloud thieves... Li Xuan also plans to seek justice for Li Yunyan and Chen Meina. How could he not go to Maplewood City! But before going to Maplewood City,
Li Xuan still has a few things to deal with.
The first thing is to build a team. It is definitely not possible to go to Maplewood City alone. You must bring a few helpers.
The two brothers Li Cheng and Li Hong must be brought with them. Li Xuan has already made plans to prepare some talismans and elixirs for them after preparing the materials in a few days to help them improve their strength first.
These two brothers have won Li Xuan's friendship through their performance and can be regarded as his two most reliable helpers.
But only these two people are not enough. If a dignified imperial envoy only brings two followers, wouldn't it be a bit too shabby?
But where to find some reliable people? You can't hire them from the Ranger organization, right?
Just when Li Xuan was worrying about building a team, Li Chenglai reported to him that there was a charming beauty who was waiting for him at the gate.
Seeing Li Cheng's "Boss, you are very beautiful" look, Li Xuan was a little suspicious. Apart from Chen Meina and Lin Yuewei, he didn't seem to know any beauties in Xianyun City, right?
At the gate of Kuixing Castle, there was actually a beautiful woman waiting for Li Xuan.
Although this beauty is slightly less beautiful than Chen Mina and Yue Wei, she is still above the average level.
People from the Li family who pass by can't help but take a glance at her, wondering who is so beautiful, blessed and personable, and would let such a beautiful woman wait at the door.
Li Xuan followed Li Cheng to the door, thinking about who would come to find him all the way. When he saw the beautiful woman from a distance, he recognized her immediately.
"Lily, it's you."
Li Xuan walked out of the door and greeted him with a smile.
It was Sun Lili from the Blood-killing Team who came here. Li Xuan was very impressed by this beautiful female cultivator.
"An...Mr. Li Xuan, hello...hello!"
As soon as she saw Li Xuan, Sun Lili's nervous hands didn't know where to put them, and she quickly bowed to him.
"Why are you so polite?"
Li Xuan smiled and said, "What brought you here? Where are Yue Meng and the others? How come there is no one there?"
"Uh..." Sun Lili was at a loss as to what to say.
Seeing her embarrassment, Li Xuan suddenly remembered something, slapped his head and said, "Oh, I remembered, you didn't get the spirit stone?"
Back then, Li Xuan got the space secret book from the Blood Slayer Team and promised two conditions.
The first condition is to kill tens of thousands of people, and the second condition is to pay 100,000 spirit stones.
When he returned to Xianyun City, Li Xuan didn't know that something had happened to Chen Meina, so he asked the bloodthirsty man to go to Mingshui Manor to withdraw money.
Now that I think about it, Sun Lili and the others must have come to our door because they didn't get the money.
"I'm really sorry, I was negligent in this matter.
Don’t worry, I will pay you back the spiritual stones I owe you immediately.”
Li Xuan said very apologetically.
"No...that's not what I meant! I'm not here to ask for spiritual stones."
Sun Lili was even more embarrassed and denied it repeatedly.
"I'm not here to ask for spiritual stones, that's..." This time it was Li Xuan's turn to be confused.
