Li Yuanjiao rubbed the dragon tray ying at his waist and frowned narrowly. Unlike Li Tongya or Li Xuanxuan, who were plain in appearance but deep in thought, he was born with narrow eyebrows and did not look like a good person. He frowned now
, even more like a snake.
"The Yushan lineage of the Xiao family... Qingxiao married slightly down the line in the past, but Xiao Jiuqing is smart and has a good future. If Xiao Xian is sincere, my sister is also willing, so it would be a good choice."
"The Yushan lineage is considered one of the top families in my Xiao family."
Xiao Guiluan took Li Yuanjiao's arm and said warmly:
"Xiao Xian's talent is not very good, but there is still hope in practicing qi. Qingxiao's talent is not so good. With the strength of Yushan's lineage, Xiao Xian will have no problem helping her build up some qi. It is also suitable."
While the two were talking and laughing, Lijing Mountain appeared at their feet. As soon as the couple walked into the courtyard, the clan soldiers below immediately came up to greet them and said respectfully:
"The head of the family, the mistress, and Young Master Yuanping are already waiting in the house."
Li Yuanjiao paused slightly, pushed the door open, and saw a young man dressed in white, holding a fan in his hand. He looked about twelve or thirteen years old, his face was slightly pale, and he looked a little sickly. He was carefully looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
Hearing the sound, he turned his head, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:
After Li Yuanping retreated, a graceful woman in gorgeous feathers walked out from the back of the palace. She bowed to the side, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Husband, the Liu family has declined too rapidly. In just five years, it has gone from having only one surname to having its children scattered everywhere... I'm afraid there is something strange."
Li Yuanjiao nodded and sighed:
"Speaking of which, everyone is against the wall. After all, the Liu family is also the ancestor's wife clan. There should still be a person named Liu in the palace. The right and wrong can be spread to our ears. Only when the public respects the surname can we be wary and not go too far.
"
"At this moment, many people with the surname Liu in the past should now be surnamed Dou. I have seen my mother many times. She is tough and has a temper."
"My brother also taught me this way. Although I have no desire for power, I will not let it down if I leave it to you now."
Mrs. Dou naturally refers to Li Xuanxuan's wife and Li Yuanping's mother, Dou. Speaking of which, Li Yuanjiao wanted to call his mother. Li Yuanjiao looked like he suddenly realized something and smiled at Li Yuanping:
"He's kind of your cousin."
Li Yuanjiao nodded lightly, took two steps to sit down, looked at his younger brother who still looked young, and said warmly:
"How about it? Can the Zhengyuan still control it?"
"My father was thinking about the cloud bamboo harvest at home, and sending another batch to make talisman paper would reduce the cost a lot."
"Master, I call you Dou Yi, and Mrs. Dou is my aunt... The messenger soldier was sick, so I took the place of him."
"Um."
Dou Yi nodded repeatedly and retreated slowly. Li Yuanping only smiled bitterly and said:
"Report to the head of the family, a letter from Guan Yunfeng."
Fortunately, both of his parents have cultivated skills. Li Yuanping has a spiritual acuity, but his talent is not very high, but he can be regarded as a middle-aged person. After five years of training, he also has the second-level fetal breath carrying Ming Wheel cultivation level.
"The demon disaster is getting more and more raging. Now Jiang Yan is not the only one, there are dozens of people who have entered the demon path and are massacred everywhere. As a result, the talismans and magic weapons inside and outside the sect are becoming more and more popular, and the income this year has increased a lot."
"The Tian family was sent to the land of Shanyue. The remaining Ren, Chen, Xu, and Dou families may have planned to squeeze out the Liu family a few years ago. Only a group of Liu family members are still enjoying themselves. The people on the mountain
As soon as the news came down, several companies started to take action. The Liu family is not a big figure to begin with, so being able to last for five years is already considered cautious."
To be honest, Li Yuanjiao has not been involved in many worldly affairs in recent years. Xiao Guiluan has taken care of some of the family's fetal and secular affairs. This woman behaves in a grand manner, has a measure of rewards and punishments, and can be managed docilely.
.
With the help of Xiao Guiluan, Li Yuanjiao did not fall behind in his cultivation. After receiving the [Qi Swallowing Spirit Barrel], Li Yuanjiao's cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds, surpassing Li Qinghong. In five years, he reached the third level of Qi training, even surpassing his father Li Xuanxuan.
Already.
Li Yuanping nodded and said with a smile:
"The Jade Court Guards have already reached the fourth or fifth level of fetal breath. With the combined efforts of the five of us, there is nothing we can't do to suppress them. We usually only punish the little thieves."
After hearing the news, Li Yuanping lowered his head and said:
Li Yuanping thought about it silently, and the two brothers chatted for a few words. Li Yuanping looked at the time, stopped disturbing Li Yuanjiao, and left.
Li Yuanping raised his head in confusion and saw Li Yuanjiao saying:
Li Yuanjiao responded and saw Li Yuanping smiling:
"I'm glad to hear that my brother has broken through to the third level of Qi training."
"This matter is definitely not my mother's handiwork. It is mostly the Dou family's own decision..."
"The demonic disaster has been going on for more than five years, but the Zifu of the Qingchi Sect has never taken action. I don't know what Chi Zhiyun was thinking."
Li Yuanjiao put the small letter away, put it under the slip, and continued to answer like a treasure trove:
Xiao Guiluan nodded and said with a smile:
"It makes sense, why did Ms. Liu become ill? She tried so hard to push her in front of me, just to test how much friendship I have for Ms. Liu."
"It's a letter from father."
"It turns out to be my mother's person."
The man next, who was dressed in armor, had a square face and thick eyebrows, and looked honest, presented the letter. Li Yuanjiao took the envelope and did not open the letter. Instead, he stared at the armored man.
Li Yuanping nodded thoughtfully and replied:
"My little brother has learned a lesson..."
The person who conveyed the message to His Highness had always been from the Liu family. Li Yuanjiao was used to seeing this person, but now he felt that this person was unfamiliar. He looked at it for a while and said in confusion:
"Are you from the Dou family?"
Li Yuanjiao laughed, hearing the hidden meaning of Xiao Guiluan's words, and said warmly:
"My mother and I have been together for many years. In her eyes, the Dou family is not as good as a little finger of Yuan Ping. The Dou family is just the next Liu family, so there is no need to worry about it."
Li Yuanjiao paused, put down the tea bowl, and replied:
"The evil disaster... is not simple. I don't know what kind of person that Jiang Yan is or which family's chess piece he is. You have also read the family history and know that the Zifu is powerful. If you can let Jiang Yan do whatever he wants, he must have been instructed by the Zifu."
Li Yuanping was sitting next to him. He just nodded when he heard the words, and did not look at Dou Yi. He was just filling the tea. Li Yuanjiao understood immediately, waved it away, and said casually:
"In that case, go and serve Yuan Ping and find a place in the clan's main courtyard."
The soldier plopped down on his knees in front of him, slightly frightened, and only replied:
"I know."
Li Yuanjiao had no intention of taking charge, but seeing Li Yuanping getting older day by day, he quickly handed over the clan's main courtyard into his hands. Seeing that he was doing a good job, he nodded with satisfaction and said warmly:
"The family law is strict, and no one in the family should be domineering."
The two brothers were chatting when a man hurriedly came up from behind, knelt down in the courtyard and said respectfully:
Li Yuanjiao laughed, and the two brothers confided in each other. Seeing Li Yuanjiao's complex expression, he replied:
“Not bad.”
The words were naturally referring to Li Yuanxiu. Li Yuanping had heard all kinds of things about this brother he had never met since he was a child. He nodded immediately. Li Yuanjiao read the letter, glanced at it a few times, and said with a smile:
"Send it up."
"Brother is back."
Li Yuanping was born to his mistress Dou when Li Xuanxuan was practicing qi. He was the younger brother of Li Yuanxiu. However, Li Yuanxiu passed away during the birth, and the fetal qi was moved, so he was born deficient.
He paused and continued:
"Yuanping has a temperament like Mrs. Dou and won't be fooled by others. In two years, if you leave the family affairs in his hands, you and I will go to Wutu Mountain to practice and become a couple of gods and immortals. Wouldn't it be nice?"
Xiao Guiluan nodded slightly, but the Xiao family she was in had been an aristocratic family for hundreds of years, and the competition for interests was quite dangerous. It was not as good as the Li family to establish brotherly harmony at the beginning. Xiao Guiluan was used to seeing relatives killing each other, and without power in his hands, he would end up in his heart.
It didn't matter to her that she was uneasy, she was just worried that her child Li Xizhi would be wronged.
It's just that this woman Bingxue was smart, and she also understood the temperament of her husband Li Yuanjiao, so she didn't immediately push back her husband's words. She nodded with a smile, looked at the flickering candlelight, and thought about how to gain more power for Li Xizhi.
