After the terrifying pressure dissipated, Chen Xuanyang took a sip from the tea cup and then placed it on the wooden table aside.
The tea lid made a slight "ding-dong" sound when it was closed, which brought everyone's attention back.
The head of the Li family looked at Chen Xuanyang with complexity and shock in his eyes.
Not long ago, I had just entered the early stage of the legal union, and I couldn't even bear the pressure. What kind of power is this! ?
Elder Meng was even more frightened. He felt the terror of that phantom of death more clearly than the head of the Li family.
For a moment, everyone stood up in embarrassment.
The head of the Li family glared at Butler Liu and Guard Zhang who were standing aside. His eyes seemed to be blaming them for not reminding him just now and actually offending a powerful person.
Butler Liu and Guard Zhang are extremely aggrieved. We have been trying to persuade you just now, but you yourself don’t listen, and you even say that we are noisy and don’t listen to our advice. This is totally unreasonable!
Elder Meng straightened his clothes, changed from his previous arrogance, and bowed his hands towards Chen Xuanyang with a respectful expression: "I am clumsy, and I have offended the great power unintentionally. I hope you will not blame me."
A trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. The man in front of him had such power through coercion alone. He was probably as powerful as the sect leader. Such powerful people must not make enemies, and must have a good relationship.
The young man wiping his forehead next to him was also sweating profusely. He had almost attacked a powerful man just now, and he was scared just thinking about it.
Chen Xuanyang glanced at Elder Meng lightly, "I accept Li Xianlan as my disciple. Do you, Lieyun Sect, have any objections?"
Elder Meng trembled, clasped his fists and said, "No objection!"
"I have taken away the disciple who should be yours. Do you accept it?" Chen Xuanyang's voice was extremely cold, as if he could not stand anyone in front of him.
Elder Meng's face turned pale, he raised his hands and said more respectfully: "Meng Baichuan is convinced!"
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Chen Xuanyang, and said nervously: "Dare you ask the immortal's name?".
Chen Xuanyang snorted lightly: "My surname is Chen and my courtesy name is Xuanyang. If you want to go back and shake me, I'm waiting for you here."
Meng Baichuan was so frightened that his body trembled and he immediately took a step back.
"Don't dare, don't dare. I hope the Immortal will come to Lieyun Sect as a guest someday. I will certainly warmly entertain the Immortal!"
Chen Xuanyang waved his hand indifferently.
"If you have nothing else to do, then just retreat!"
Meng Baichuan and the young man wiping his forehead held their hands at the same time.
"In that case, let me take my leave first."
Meng Baichuan glanced at the head of the Li family, and then left Qionghuai Academy.
After leaving the sect, the wiping young man glanced at Meng Baichuan and asked cautiously: "Master, do you see the depth of that person?"
Meng Baichuan's face was solemn, "The coercion is true, but it does not rule out that there are some techniques to enhance the momentum. However, since he can remove the curse of Li Xianlan, it should not be easy. The origin of this person is unknown, and he has not figured out what happened before. , but don’t make enemies with them.”
"yes!"
…
In the lobby, the head of the Li family looked awkwardly at Chen Xuanyang, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Master Li still has something to do. Could it be that he still has any objections to me?"
Hearing this, the head of the Li family quickly explained: "Since Elder Meng doesn't have any objections, how can Mr. Li have any objections? Mr. Li has to thank the Immortal for removing the curse from my son."
He had some doubts before that Chen Xuanyang had really removed the curse, but as soon as the coercion came out, he began to believe it in his heart.
"Chief Immortal, Li has no objection to Lan'er becoming your teacher, and I dare not have any objection, but... now it's time for the division of power in the Li family once every ten years. As the eldest son, Lan'er should have the right to participate in the distribution of Li family affairs. Quan, I want to take him back to the Li family to deal with this matter, and then send him back in person, hoping that the immortal will be fulfilled."
Chen Xuanyang frowned slightly when he heard this.
At this time, Li Xianlan also walked in quickly.
He bowed deeply to Chen Xuanyang and said, "Master, I am not a helpless person. I have a little hair and skin, and I am supported by my parents. This apprenticeship is sudden and I haven't had time to finish my housework. I hope Master can give me some time." After dealing with these trivial matters, the disciple will definitely come back!"
Chen Xuanyang glanced at Li Xianlan, and at this moment, the system prompt sounded.
"Ding, unlock the side mission of disciple Li Xianlan."
"Mission 1: Find out and solve the person behind the amethyst necklace and the curse."
There are even side missions! ?
Chen Xuanyang was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure.
He glanced at Li Xianlan, nodded and said, "In that case, I will come with you as my master!"
Li Xianlan was slightly startled, and the head of the Li family was also a little surprised, "The Immortal Chief wants to come too!?"
"Um?"
Chen Xuanyang's voice ended in a long tone, and the head of the Li family immediately held up his hands and said: "Li has no other intentions. Since the immortal wants to be together, let's do it together!"
Chen Xuanyang nodded: "I'm tired, so you can go back first. I will personally take Li Xianlan to the Li family tomorrow."
ah?
The head of the Li family was a little embarrassed. He originally planned to take Li Xianlan back today, but since Chen Xuanyang had spoken, he couldn't say anything.
"Steward Liu, please stay and escort the Immortal Chief and Lan'er back to the Li family tomorrow."
"clear."
The head of the Li family and Zhang Huwei said goodbye with fists clasped in their hands, and then left Qionghuai Academy.
"You can find a vacant room to rest by yourself, and don't disturb my practice." Chen Xuanyang stood up, slightly fluffed his sleeves, and turned to leave.
"Yes, I would like to send you my best wishes to the Immortal." Butler Liu quickly bowed his hands in salute.
Chen Xuanyang returned to his courtyard, clicked on the system interface, and started studying again.
When he came to the lottery interface, he found that the rewards in the lottery wheel had actually been refreshed.
"Ding, the system lottery benefit discount event is open. You can enjoy a 40% discount in the lottery. It is limited to three uses. After each use, it will enter a cooldown."
Chen Xuanyang took a look and saw that it originally cost 500 points for a single draw, but now it only costs 300 points once, and it also costs 3,000 points for ten consecutive draws.
Chen Xuanyang was slightly startled. This system is really down-to-earth. It is exactly the same as the lottery settings in the game, and it actually has lottery discount benefits.
I happened to have 300 points left, and I couldn't do anything with them, so I just tried to draw them.
"lottery!"
I saw the roulette pointer repeatedly shuttled among countless items, and finally stopped at a mysterious frame with a question mark.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting a 'mysterious gift bag'. After opening it, you will get a random prop."
Chen Xuanyang looked at the lottery again. Sure enough, the discount benefits had been cooling down for a full 72 hours.
It can be used twice. It seems that next time you have to save 3,000 points to draw the most benefit.
"Open the gift bag."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting the 'Junior Imitation Card'
Chen Xuanyang's heart moved slightly. This prop card looks very good. He can choose any skill and use half a stick of incense. With another trump card, he can go to Li's house to complete the side mission with more confidence.
…
The next day, Butler Liu had already prepared the carriage and was waiting for Chen Xuanyang and Li Xianlan outside Qionghuai Academy.
Qionghuai Academy is protected by the sect-protecting formation. Even if Chen Xuanyang is not there, there will be no problem. No one can get in anyway.
On the way, Li Xianlan was practicing in the carriage. Chen Xuanyang looked at his personal information and found that he was already at the fourth level of the Elementary Dharma Realm. In just three days, he was promoted from a person with no foundation in Dharma practice to the fourth level of the Elementary Dharma Realm. , this speed is worthy of being the right one.
"Steward Liu, when did Li Xianlan get this curse?"
Butler Liu, who was driving the horse outside the carriage, immediately responded when he heard this: "Back to Immortal Chief, it was about two and a half years ago."
"Hmm..." Chen Xuanyang frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Then who gave this amethyst necklace?"
Butler Liu looked solemn and sighed: "I don't know, but this necklace was discovered the night after the curse appeared. According to the night watcher, he saw someone entering the eldest young master's room that night, but he didn't see the figure clearly. That necklace was left by that person, and it just suppressed the curse. Looking back on all the coincidences, I suspect that it might be someone from the family."
Chen Xuanyang nodded slightly and said nothing.
The Li family is not too far from Xiaoyu Mountain, and it takes less than half a day to arrive.
It was Zhang Huwei who came to greet him. He bowed respectfully to Chen Xuanyang and then led the way.
Chen Xuanyang took a look at the environment of Li Mansion. The gorgeous buildings were surrounded by pools of water, with duckweeds all over the ground. They were green and bright. It was worthy of being a noble residence.
Housekeeper Liu and Guard Zhang looked respectful, which made the servants passing by, both men and women, look at Chen Xuanyang curiously, as if they wanted to see what kind of distinguished guest this elegant and fairy-like young man was.
The lobby was filled with several talkers from the Li family. The head of the Li family sat in the main seat, and the other deputy heads of the family sat in the left and right rows.
After learning that Chen Xuanyang was coming, the head of the Li family immediately got up excitedly and went to greet him personally.
The other deputy family heads frowned slightly when they saw this.
"Who came and he actually went to greet him personally?"
"I don't know, let's take a look first!"
Then I saw the head of the Li family leading Chen Xuanyang and Li Xianlan into the hall with a smile.
He even gave up the main seat.
Chen Xuanyang waved his hand to stop him, "Master Li, today is your housework. I am just a guest. There is no need to worry about this. It is your turn to take the main seat."
After saying that, he sat on the deputy seat next to the main seat, while Li Xianlan sat next to Chen Xuanyang.
The head of the Li family looked at the people of the Li family around and introduced: "This is Master Chen Xian, the master who removed the curse from Lan'er. He is now Lan'er's master. He came to my Li family's house specially to be a guest today."
When the curse was mentioned, everyone in the Li family looked uncertain.
At this time, the middle-aged man wearing a green python robe on the side snorted coldly: "How can the curse be so easy to be solved? I'm afraid he is not a charlatan from somewhere, and today is the day when our Li family's power is divided, but at this time I'm a guest, brother, are you afraid you have other motives?"
The head of the Li family suddenly frowned and said, "Second brother, please don't be rude!"
Chen Xuanyang smiled faintly: "The Li family leader himself said that I am a distinguished guest, but this friend came up and made irresponsible remarks. He really doesn't take the majesty of the Li family leader seriously at all. I think there are people who are eager for Li. Head of the house, please move your butt and be the head of the house yourself, right?"
"You!" The man immediately slammed the table and shouted angrily.
The head of the Li family stopped him quickly, "Okay, Immortal Chen is an honored guest. Don't be rude. It's important to talk about business."
"Hmph!" The middle-aged man snorted lightly and said nothing.
"Now that Lan'er is no longer young, I want to hand over the management of some of the Li family's properties in Liuzhou to him." The head of the Li family said slowly.
"I have an opinion!"
"I have it too!"
Upon seeing this, the head of the Li family frowned and looked at the two people.
"Second brother and third brother, what do you think?"
The man in the green python robe smiled and said: "Xianlan has not had any experience in managing things. If he takes over rashly, I am afraid it will be inappropriate. He should let me continue to take charge. It will not be too late to hand it over to him after it is stable."
"Second brother is right." Another deputy head of the family agreed.
The head of the Li family frowned. He didn't want to hand over management rights at all.
But Li Xianlan stood up and clasped his fists: "I came back this time to see my mother. I don't care about these trivial matters and I don't need them. I don't want any rights in the Li family. You can divide them as you like. From now on, I will follow my master." I respect my cultivation, and my family’s business has nothing to do with me.”
"This..." The head of the Li family was a little embarrassed.
Chen Xuanyang smiled faintly and said nothing.
Now that we are cultivating the great path, what do these family properties count for?
Looking at Li Xianlan's arrogant and arrogant face, a young man in green robe behind the green-robed man looked sulky.
He immediately stood up and looked at Li Xianlan and shouted: "Brother Xianlan, since you have become a disciple, I would like to learn from him and see what tricks your superior master has taught you to make you so unwilling to put down the family property." In the eyes.”
"Li Huatang, how brave are you!" Li Xianlan was furious.
Li Xianlan couldn't bear it when he insulted his master in front of him.
Chen Xuanyang raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the young man in green.
The head of the Li family frowned and said: "Okay, now is the time for the Li family to divide the power, and you juniors will not be allowed to mess around!"
However, the green-robed man laughed and said: "No, brother, it's not like going to court or anything like that. There's no need to make the atmosphere so serious. On the contrary, I also want to see what Xianlan can learn from this 'master' No matter what means you use, it doesn't matter if you let them compete for a while. If Xianlan can beat my Huatang, I would also be willing to give up the management rights of Mingyan Restaurant under the Li family. But if he loses, brother, you will How about you leave your Yingchun Tea House to me?"
"Yes, brother, I also think this is quite interesting. Could it be that Li Xianlan, as the eldest son of the eldest son of the Li family, is not as good as the son of the second brother's family?" The third son of the Li family also started to boo.
Although everyone in the Li family knew that Li Xianlan had never practiced cultivation, the third son of the Li family was right. A future heir of the Li family was worse than the son of the second head of the family. It didn't matter now, but how could he convince everyone in the future?
The head of the Li family suddenly frowned. The second and third sons were all targeting him. The rest of the Li family were watching the fun. He could refuse sternly, but in the eyes of everyone, he and Li Xianlan would not be able to save their face. Even if it was not that serious, But occasionally I get some criticism.
Lan'er has only been away for three days. No matter how powerful he is, he can't jump from an ordinary person to defeating Li Huatang, who is on the fourth level of the First Dharma Realm, in just three days. The second brother has made it clear that he wants Lan'er to make a fool of himself. I'm so embarrassed, you Li Yunfeng!
The head of the Li family was furious.
At this time, Chen Xuanyang suddenly smiled and said: "Master Li, please believe in your own son. How could his abilities be beyond the imagination of those frogs in the well?"
"You!" The green-robed man pointed at Chen Xuanyang and shouted angrily. This sentence made it clear that he and his son were frogs in the well.
Chen Xuanyang saw that the head of the Li family was still hesitating, so he smiled and said: "If this friend can fulfill his promise and divide the management rights of the restaurant after Li Xianlan wins, then the previous problem of Li Xianlan not being able to allocate management rights will also be solved. Is it done?"
When Li Xianlan heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master, I don't care about the power of management, even if I win, I won't want it."
Chen Xuanyang smiled and shook his head: "Chi'er, you are the eldest son of Li and the future heir of the Li family. The management of the Li family's property is not only a right but also a responsibility for you. Now you are not young anymore. You should shoulder some responsibilities of your family and share your father's worries, this is what a man is."
Li Xianlan was slightly startled when he heard this, and then immediately clasped his fists and said, "Disciple understands, I will assume some of the management rights of the Li family."
The head of the Li family was moved when he heard this. What Chen Xuanyang just said made sense, but everything was based on Li Xianlan's ability to win.
Chen Xuanyang was right. If he didn't believe his own son, who else would. He simply felt relieved and patted Li Xianlan on the shoulder.
"Then go ahead, kid, just stop there."
Everyone in the Li family sighed and shook their heads. Li Huatang was on the fourth level of the Junior Dharma Realm. Li Xianlan was an ordinary person and had only been away for three days. What skills could he learn? Isn't this asking for trouble?
The green-robed man Li Yunfeng showed a successful smile.
Then Li Xianlan and Li Huatang came to the yard.
Li Huatang showed disdain and raised his hand: "Brother Xianlan, if you are weak, please go first."
Li Xianlan frowned, then hummed: "Okay, then you can take it!"
I saw Li Xianlan stepping forward with an arrow, and his figure instantly turned into an afterimage.
Li Huatang was startled and quickly put his arms in front of him.
The power of the punch was like a tiger roaring in the forest. Li Huatang's arms were shaken to the point of numbness, and he was forcefully forced back several meters.
His eyes were full of disbelief.
Everyone in the Li family was even more stunned.
"Damn it, I know this guy was very strong before, but why can't I even receive a punch!?" Li Huatang was shocked.
A green lotus grew under his feet, and when he stepped out, a green lotus wrapped in a green lotus killed him with astonishing power.
Li Xianlan didn't retreat at all, and punched forward. At that moment, a golden brilliance flashed from his eyes, and an unspeakable force burst out, instantly defeating Qinglian.
That domineering power seemed to be able to break through everything.
Li Huatang's pupils were shocked.
However, Li Xianlan didn't give him a chance to breathe. He quickly stepped forward, raised his hand and punched out again.
Empty!
A series of muffled sounds like firecrackers came from Li Xianlan's body, like sounds from inside the bones.
"This is... Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound!"
"How is this possible? He...didn't he just leave for three days?"
The so-called tiger and leopard thunder sound is the sound that the body bones erupt when practitioners who practice physical arts exercise their magic power. It is like the roar of a tiger or the sound of thunder, which also represents entering a unique state.
The power of this blow was far greater than the previous one. Li Huatang was sent flying by the punch before he had time to react.
A bloody arrow shot out of his mouth and hit the courtyard wall hard, making a human-shaped dent.
Two punches to defeat the enemy.
"Good boy, you're so harsh!" The green-robed man suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.
Li Xianlan looked indifferent, "He insulted my master first. If it weren't for the sake of his fellow clan, I would kill him!"
"How brave, brother, you really gave birth to a good son!" The man in the green robe gritted his teeth in anger.
Although the head of the Li family smiled bitterly, he was shocked by Li Xianlan in his heart.
Everyone in the Li family was even more surprised by Li Xianlan's performance.
Chen Xuanyang looked indifferent and said with a cold smile: "A frog in a well doesn't know that the sky is high and the sky is high, nor does it know that people will look at each other with admiration after three days apart?"
