Not far from the lake shore, Qin Wugna and Zhang Sugao both saw this scene and looked at each other without saying anything.
The second young master of the Li family is truly astonishing.
At such an age and with such a level of cultivation, it is simply terrifying.
By the lake, Li Ziye silently picked up the sword on the ground. He always refused to suffer losses, but at this moment, he didn't say a word to contradict him.
"Celebrate it."
In the distance, Li Youwei saw Li Qingzhi approaching and said softly, "My little brother has already worked very hard, give him some time."
"Eldest sister, how long can you and your adoptive father protect him?"
Li Qingzhi said with an indifferent expression, "If he continues to be such a waste, Li Mansion will be defeated by him sooner or later."
"My younger brother takes a lot of credit for the success of the Li family today. Now, he is also working hard to protect this family. Qingzhi, I hope you can give him a little more patience and time." Li Youwei sighed softly.
"He did bring glory to the Li Mansion, but it was his biggest fault that he was unable to defend it." Li Qingzhi looked at the young man on the lake shore with his peripheral eyes and said with an indifferent expression.
By the lake, Li Ziye picked up the sword and handed it back to Qin Grace.
"Fairy, can you take half a day off? I will make up for the debt I owe today when I come back." Li Ziye said.
"Go ahead."
Qin Wanna didn't ask any more questions. She took the Qingshuang Ancient Sword and nodded in response.
"Thank you fairy."
Li Ziye thanked him and walked away.
"Second brother."
In front of the two of them, Li Ziye walked quickly. Even though he had just been taught a lesson, he still greeted him with a playful smile, "You're back."
Li Qingzhi looked at the young man in front of him and said calmly, "Have you finished your sword practice?"
"Not yet. I promised the third prince that I would give him an answer in the next two days." Li Ziye replied.
"Your eldest sister is going to the capital. Do you know about this?" Li Qingzhi asked.
"I know." Li Ziye nodded.
"The water in the capital is deep. This matter should have been the responsibility of you, the legitimate son, but it was because of your inaction that I had to let your eldest sister go. Do you understand?" Li Qingzhi said coldly.
"Second brother taught me a lesson." Li Ziye accepted the criticism humbly and responded.
"When your eldest sister goes to the capital, I will follow you secretly. I will leave Yuzhou City to you." Li Qingzhi said calmly.
"Second brother, don't worry."
Li Ziye's head was nodding like a drumstick, and he seemed to be as obedient as he was. No one could have imagined that this was the lawless young master of the Li family.
"Go ahead, that third prince is very scheming, so handle him with caution." Li Qingzhi's expression softened slightly and he warned.
"Thank you for your concern, second brother, I will be careful."
It was rare to receive a word of concern from his brother, so Li Ziye responded happily and left immediately.
"You are too harsh on my little brother."
Seeing the former leave, Li Youwei said helplessly, "Actually, he respects you as an elder brother. Every time you come back, he will be happy for a long time."
"He is the only legitimate son of the Li family, so he should bear heavier responsibilities than others. This is his fate."
Li Qingzhi said calmly, "By the way, I will pay attention to finding a sword for him. It is said that there are several good ancient swords in the East China Sea and Southern Xinjiang. If I have time, I will go there myself."
"You are always hard-spoken and soft-hearted." Li Youwei said softly.
Yuelai Inn, guest room on the second floor.
The third prince, Mu Yao, tied up his hair, straightened his clothes, and immediately walked downstairs.
In front of the inn, Li Ziye was already waiting.
"Your Highness, please!"
Li Ziye said politely when he saw the person coming.
"Brother Li, please!"
Mu Yao also said politely.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then walked side by side.
The customs of Yuzhou City are different from those of capital cities. The people are simple but relatively tough.
The street was bustling with people, with children joking and playing from time to time, passing through the crowd.
"How did Brother Li think about the suggestions I gave to Brother Li?"
Mu Yao asked casually while looking at the customs and customs of Yuzhou City.
"The Li family is naturally disrespectful of His Highness's kindness. The eldest sister will go to the capital in the near future to discuss cooperation with these three families." Li Ziye replied.
"oh?"
When Mu Yao heard this, he looked surprised and said, "Is it your sworn sister? Brother Li, won't you go with us?"
"I have never been involved in Li Mansion's business. My eldest sister and my father are taking care of it. My father is too old to travel far, so my eldest sister went there on my behalf." Li Ziye responded with a smile.
"That's a shame."
Mu Yao had a look of regret on his face and said, "I thought I could fulfill my friendship as a landlord in the capital and have a drink with Brother Li."
"If I have the chance, I will definitely go to the capital to visit His Highness," Li Ziye said.
Mu Yao nodded, his mouth slightly curved, and said nothing more.
It is a pity that the legitimate son of the Li family will not go together this time. However, I heard that the relationship between the Li family siblings is very good. As long as Li Youwei is in trouble, there is no fear that this boy will not go to the capital.
The two of them walked around for a long time. Mu Yao looked at the boy next to him and asked, "By the way, when will your sister leave?"
"Just the past few days." Li Ziye replied.
"That's fine. I've been away from the capital for some time. It's time to go back."
Mu Yao said, "It just so happens that your sister and I are setting off back to the capital together. I can still have someone to look after me on the way."
"That's very good, then please spare the trouble, Your Highness." Li Ziye said with a smile.
"You're welcome." Mu Yao responded.
After the serious talk was over, the two of them started to talk nonsense. You asked a few questions and I answered a few. They tested each other and tried every means to get useful information.
Both of them are smart people, so even though their words are extremely hypocritical, they still seem like old friends meeting each other and having a great conversation.
After noon, Li Ziye decisively said goodbye to the third prince and went back to his respective homes.
In the backyard of Li Mansion, Li Ziye came over and sat down next to Old Man Zhang. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his face and prepared to rest for a while.
"Why, you're so tired after going out for a walk?" Zhang asked sloppily.
"It's really tiring to talk to a scheming person like the Third Prince." Li Ziye took a breath and said.
"You have the nerve to say that others are scheming. I think the most scheming person in Yuzhou City is you." Zhang said with a sloppy smile.
"Old Zhang, you misunderstood me deeply."
Li Ziye said seriously, "I always treat people with sincerity."
"Ah."
Zhang Slutty smiled mockingly and said, "Even the dogs in Yuzhou City don't believe what you say."
Li Ziye opened his mouth, and was about to sneer at the old man. Suddenly, he felt a cold feeling on his back, and an ancient sword flew towards him and was stabbed in front of him.
"Have you finished your sword practice?"
From behind, a cold voice came. Although it was pleasant, it was so cold that it made people shiver.
"immediately."
Li Ziye immediately stood up, pulled out the sword in front of him, and continued practicing.
Zhang Sloppy took a sip of wine and curled his mouth slightly.
Qin Wegna stood aside, staring at the young man not far away, with a flash of light in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
"Jian Chi, what do you think, if I find him an opponent?" Qin Grace asked after a long time.
"You want to kill him?"
Zhang Sugao said in surprise, "He has only learned swordsmanship for a few days. Even if you warm his meridians and temper his body with true energy and medicine every day, his meridians are not open after all, so he can't practice. What's more, the sword has no eyes." , I’m looking for an opponent for him now because I think he will live long.”
Qin Wegna was silent for a moment and said, "If you continue to practice like this, you won't be able to catch up with Huo Lin'er in ten years. If you want to make progress faster, the only way is to fight. I heard that, north of Yuzhou City, There are many bandits in the mountains, let him go there for a walk in a few days."
Hearing this, Zhang Suluo's mouth twitched. This woman really wanted to play this boy to death.
Those bandits are all licking blood at the tip of a knife, they are very fierce. With this kid's current strength, if he goes there, he will die.
Li Ziye didn't know the tragic fate he would face next, but he still practiced his sword over and over again, enjoying himself.
Everyone else in the mansion was busy preparing for Li Youwei's trip to the capital.
For the next seven days, Li Ziye did not only take medicinal baths but also practiced swordplay. He was tortured every day so much that he almost couldn't get up several times.
However, Li Ziye's meridians and physical strength also rapidly improved during this inhuman torture, surpassing ordinary people and infinitely close to a true warrior.
And seven days later, Li Youwei was finally leaving.
Li Wanwan went to see him off in person until he was sent outside Yuzhou City.
But Li Ziye, who had the deepest relationship with Li Youwei, never showed up.
"Aren't you going to see your eldest sister off?"
In the backyard of Li Mansion, by the lake, Zhang Sloppy looked at the young man practicing his sword hard not far away and asked casually.
"No, my second brother is secretly protecting me. Sister Youwei is safe." Li Ziye replied while practicing his sword.
Zhang smiled sloppily, this kid had a weirder temper than him.
"Li Ziye."
At this time, Qin Grace came over and said, "Follow me."
"Where to go?" Li Ziye stopped and asked in confusion.
"I've prepared some training for you." Qin Grace responded.
"Is it dangerous?" Li Ziye asked subconsciously.
"It's just a small exercise, not dangerous." Qin Grace responded casually.
Of course, it is not dangerous for her, but for this kid...who knows.
Hearing this, Li Ziye put away his sword and followed him.
Zhang Slutty sat by the lake, watching the two people leaving with a look of gloating on his face.
Why hadn't I noticed before that the plum blossom sword fairy who was like an immortal was also such a sinister person?
Sure enough, it’s not like a family doesn’t come into the same house.
To the north of Yuzhou City, in front of the Qilian Mountains, a horse-drawn carriage rumbled forward.
Qin Grace stepped out of the carriage, looked at the cliff in the mountains in the distance, and said, "On this cliff, there is a blood ginseng medicine king. It is very helpful for you to repair your meridians. If you can pick it, I am sure that I can help you in the short term." You open up a meridian."
"real?"
Behind him, Li Ziye got off the carriage and looked at the cliff in front of him with excitement on his face. It was because of the eight blocked meridians that he could not practice at all. If he could open one of them, he would still not be as good as those geniuses, but at least, He can start trying to practice.
"Um."
Qin Wegna nodded and responded lightly.
"Okay, I'll go now."
After Li Ziye finished speaking, he immediately walked towards the mountains ahead.
"Hold on."
Qin Weanna handed over the sword in her hand and said, "Take it."
"It's just gathering medicine, no sword needed." Li Ziye said in surprise.
"Take it."
Qin Wegna said without explaining.
Li Ziye took the sword doubtfully, turned around and walked into the mountain without thinking too much.
Outside the Qilian Mountains, Qin Grace looked at the former's back, her red lips slightly curved, and immediately, with a step of her feet, she jumped into the mountains and forests, flying like a fairy, towards the depths of the mountains.
Half an hour later, deep in the Qilian Mountains, in front of a camp not far from the cliff, Qin Grace's figure swept over, stood on a branch, pinched a fallen leaf with her fingers, and immediately threw it down to the camp in front.
boom!
They were surprised to see fallen leaves flying by, a wooden pillar of the camp breaking, and a corner of the camp collapsing.
"who!"
In the camp, a man with a sinister face and a ferocious appearance suddenly stood up, walked out of the camp, looked outside, and shouted, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Come and see!"
"yes!"
Several bandits took the order and immediately came out of the stronghold to check.
Qin Grace stepped on the branch, without hiding her whereabouts, and left under the watchful eyes of all the bandits.
"Chase me!" the man shouted angrily.
In front of the cliff not far away, Li Ziye, who was unaware of all this, finally climbed up exhausted.
"King of Blood Ginseng."
Li Ziye looked around, looking for traces of the Blood Ginseng King based on the location pointed by Qin Wanna.
where?
Just when Li Ziye was looking for the Blood Ginseng King, angry shouts came from not far away.
"People are there!"
As he spoke, dozens of bandits rushed over like crazy.
"Fuck!"
Li Ziye looked shocked when he saw this.
Trapped by Lao Qin!
No wonder Lao Qin deliberately told him to bring the sword!
He is not a fool. If he still can't react at this time, he will be kicked in the head by a donkey!
Seeing the bandits rushing towards him like crazy, Li Ziye came to his senses, turned around and ran away without saying a word.
"Old Qin, your uncle!"
