Li Tongya is only forty-five this year, younger than most people present, but his cultivation level at the fifth level of Qi training is already outstanding. Even the one hundred and eighty-seven-year-old Lu Sisi is only at the seventh level of Qi training. Naturally, everyone is calling
His senior.
Li Tongya raised his hands to indicate to the family heads, and returned his sword to its sheath. Yu Xiaogui's face brightened slightly, and he nodded and said:
"The Li family's swordsmanship is one of the best on this lake. It is much better than that of my Yu family. Today, this junior has learned a lot."
These words attributed Yu Mu's inferior swordsmanship to the fact that the Li family's swordsmanship was better, and not that the Yu family was inferior to the Li family. Hearing this, Li Tongya smiled softly and let him talk. He just wished he could keep a low profile so that all the families would be wary of Yu Fei Liang.
Home.
"After all, Lu Sisi has only a few years to live. The An family and the Lu family have been allies for generations. Once Lu Sisi dies, the delicate relationships and checks and balances between the three families will be broken in an instant. This is the opportunity for my Li family,
Until then, the calmer the situation, the better, and no extraneous matters should be allowed."
The Yu family's goal has been achieved and Li Tongya's swordsmanship has been tested. Yu Xiaogui waved his hand and found an excuse to leave. Everyone present also left the table one by one. Li Tongya deliberately avoided Lu Sisi and stayed alone.
Go back to the south bank.
Riding the wind and jumping over the clear and transparent lake, Li Tongya thought to himself and murmured:
"Yu Xiaogui built his foundation and cultivated his skills. He was ruthless and aggressive. Riding on the east wind of the rise of the Yu family, he was even more powerful. He was a difficult one to deal with... And there was Yu Mugao, who was equally ruthless but cautious. He was even more difficult to deal with than his father. In the future,
I’m afraid life will be difficult.”
After flying south for a while, Li Tongya landed on a small island. After waiting for more than ten breaths, he saw a middle-aged man in brocade and white robe approaching from a distance. He landed on the island with a smile on his face. He looked graceful and elegant.
He looked exactly like the head of the Fei family.
"Brother Tongya! What a coincidence! Fei Wangbai, a monk from the Fe family, is a man whose name I have admired for a long time."
Fei Wangbai looked about forty years old, but he was actually over a hundred years old. The jade pendant around his waist jingled. He looked at Li Tongya and saw that the man in front of him was steady, restrained, and quite reliable. He had a smile on his face.
A little softer.
"I have admired you for a long time, senior, you are so polite."
How could Li Tongya dare to ask the monk to call him brother and sister? He quickly called Fei Wangbai his senior. When he saw Fei Wangbai twirling his beard, he smiled and said:
"Except for an old casual cultivator on the west bank, there are three foundations on this lake. Two of them are from the Yu family. Yu Xiaogui in the early stage of foundation building and Yu Yufeng in the late stage of foundation building. I am just an unknown person.
A generation like this who only broke through the foundation building twenty years ago, how can he be called a senior!"
The intention of Fei Wangbai's words was obvious, and both of them knew it. When Li Tongya smiled slightly, Fei Wangbai continued:
"Among the younger members of the Yu family, Yu Mujian is brave and values friendship. He became a Qi practitioner at the age of forty. Senior Yumu is smart and cold-blooded. Neither of them is stupid. They make us envious."
"Junior knows."
Li Tongya nodded, thought for a moment, changed the subject, and said in a deep voice:
"In my opinion, senior, the situation on Guli Road is so chaotic now. Is it possible that the Yu family's market can run smoothly?"
Fei Wangbai shook his head and said with a full smile:
"This matter is not easy to handle. I have a friend who is a foundation-building monk in the county. I heard from him that there was a group of thieves on Guli Road. It would be better if Yu Yufeng was in charge personally. If Yu Yufeng encountered something and left Fangshi
, I’m afraid something is going to happen.”
Li Tongya's heart suddenly brightened, and he understood the plan of Fei Wangbai and others, but he did not want to get involved in it. He was afraid that Fei Wangbai would misunderstand, so he quickly said:
"It's a pity that my swordsmanship is too conspicuous, and I might be hated by others, otherwise I would still want to go and help."
"That's not necessary."
Fei Wangbai laughed. Seeing that Li Tongya said he wanted to help out but didn't say clearly whether it was for the Yu family or for the bandits, he knew that the Li family was quite supportive of this matter. He finally opened the window and spoke frankly, nodding and saying:
"The Yu family is now strong. If no one from each family can build the foundation, I am afraid that they will be cannibalized and disappear one by one in the next hundred years. Although the Li family is protected by the Sword Immortal, the Yu family dare not get involved, but things in the world are unpredictable, so we must remember
The truth about dead lips and cold teeth.”
Li Tongya cupped his hands, no longer hiding them, and said seriously:
"In the days to come, there will be many opportunities for cooperation between the two families. My Li family is in the south and the Fei family is in the north. Our geographical proximity makes us natural allies. Tongya is not a short-sighted person. There is no reason to sit back and watch the Yu family grow."
The two looked at each other, smiled, said goodbye to each other, and went home.
————
The immortal cultivators on this boat all dispersed. Yu Mugao, the young master of the Yu family, took his two brothers, one tall and one fat, into the cabin. They saw a large chair placed high in the spacious cabin.
Xiao Gui lowered his head and sat on it. When he saw Yu Mugao entering the door, he said in a deep voice:
"come over."
Yu Mugao stepped forward and saw Yu Xiaogui staring at the wooden floor with a gloomy expression, and asked suddenly:
"What is the origin of Mu Jian's sword? Have you ever sent someone to ask?"
"My child also has doubts. He has already asked his fourth brother about it."
Yu Mugao had already expected it and replied:
"The sword is a Qi-level magic weapon. It was originally obtained by our ancestors when they destroyed the Lingyu Gate. The sword body is simple and the material used is ordinary. There is no secret at all."
"oh?"
Yu Xiaogui relaxed his brows, raised his palms slightly, and murmured:
"It seems I've thought too much."
"Then Li Tongya!"
"Then Li Tongya..."
The father and son opened their mouths at the same time, then suddenly paused. Yu Xiaogui nodded appreciatively, looked at Yu Mugao with a rather pleased look, raised his fingers on the seat slightly, and said:
"you say!"
Yu Mugao nodded, and then said in a deep voice:
"This Li Tongya is calm and restrained. He hides the weapon in his body, just like... like a black snake coiled in the corner. My father doesn't care about his silence, he is quite respectful. This person is by no means an easy person. If you underestimate him,
, we may suffer a big loss."
Yu Xiaogui raised his head in surprise and gently put down the tea cup in his hand. He also valued Li Tongya, but Yu Mugao's evaluation of Li Tongya was much higher than he expected. After thinking for a few breaths, he replied:
"How do you think you should deal with this person?"
"While he has not yet established a foundation, we use force to lure him out and kill him secretly. As long as no one knows about it, without this variable, Wangyue Lake will belong to us sooner or later!"
Yu Mugao looked stern and gritted his teeth, but Yu Xiaogui shook his head with a strange expression and said seriously:
"In the past, you always said that you were rash for your father, but you are much rasher in this matter. Behind Li Tongya is Qingsui Sword Immortal, a genius disciple of Qingchi Sect. How could you kill him so hastily? If the sect investigates
, using a heart-asking talisman, how should we, the Yu family, deal with ourselves? I am afraid that our vitality will be greatly damaged!"
Yu Mugao's expression froze, he nodded reluctantly, cupped his hands and said:
"The kid is being reckless!"
"Even if we can't deal with Li Tongya, we must curb the rise of the Li family."
Yu Xiaogui added more tea and said with a full smile:
"When the matter in Fangshi is over, we will be free to plan and kill a few juniors of the Li family so that the Li family can be eliminated. Just like our ancestors dealt with the Wan family back then, they secretly planned for decades, and Wan Huaqian woke up.
At that time, it was difficult to take care of both ends, so I had to retreat and forcibly break through the foundation building, and finally ended up with the fate of death and decline of the clan."
"exactly!"
Yu Mugao also had a smile on his face and murmured:
"The Li family at this time is the Wan family at that time, and my Yu family is now more powerful. Back then, I secretly coerced the Wan family to practice qi, and secretly protected the Ji family... Now it is the turn of the Anlu family...
"
"By the way, Gao'er, I have something to ask you."
Yu Xiaogui suddenly put down the tea bowl in his hand and said in a deep voice:
"I heard that the An family has a genius named An Jingming. He became a Qi practitioner at the age of fourteen. This is amazing!"
Yu Mugao also looked solemn and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, father, I have sent someone down to keep an eye on the child. I will get the news immediately after An Jingming leaves the An family. The An family will not have a chance to have a foundation-building monk."
