Since Li Youchu showed his talent in the Li family, he has received the support of his father Li Ming, who has obtained a lot of resources from the clan, and his cultivation has steadily increased.
At only fourteen years old, with only six years of formal practice, he broke through the foundation and became a strong force in the Li family.
In addition, she was very scheming and good at disguise at a young age. Not only Li's father, but also other members of the second family of the Li family gradually lost their prejudice against having an illegitimate daughter and regarded Li Youchu as the future face of the second family.
After all, no matter what, Li Youchu is the granddaughter of the elder of the second room.
Having a blood relationship there saves me countless troubles.
This day.
Fourteen-year-old Li Youchu was already tall and graceful. She casually dismissed the servant who came to invite her to tonight's family dinner and fell into deep thought alone.
Since she broke through the foundation building a year ago, she moved to this small courtyard in the name of Qingxiu, and the only person she served with was her former nanny.
So if Li Ming wanted to have a meal with his daughter to bond, he had to make an appointment.
If it were in the past, Li Ming would naturally feel unhappy. I would have to invite my daughter again and again to have a meal, even if this daughter was a genius.
But now his daughter has caught the eye of his father and has become famous throughout the Li family. In terms of status and reputation, it is not comparable to him, a prodigal who relies on the reputation of being the son of an elder.
So Li Ming was naturally obedient to Li Youchu.
And Li Youchu had long disdained this emotionless father.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still somewhat useful, I would have sent him on his way to accompany his mother who died young.
Although she was young, she had already found out the truth from her aunt.
After her mother gave birth to a daughter, she was not taken seriously by Li Ming because she was not an heir. Therefore, with his tacit approval, she was targeted by Li Ming's wife.
The mother who had just given birth was weak and had no one to take care of her on the island. In the end, she managed to survive the period of weakness after giving birth, but the root of her illness was also laid, and her daughter died before she was even one year old.
The mother was playing tricks on her daughter, and in the end Mother Li knelt down and died outside the Li family hall with her daughter in her arms. Only then did the Li family elders send word to assign a wet nurse to Li Youchu.
Fortunately, the wet nurse was kind and allowed Li Youchu to grow up to this day.
"How could I have such a thought?"
Li Youchu was suddenly startled.
She found that as her cultivation deepened, her thoughts and behaviors became more and more similar to that of the witch in her dream.
She often couldn't figure out whether she was Li Youchu of the Li family or the ruthless witch.
But she has become accustomed to letting the witch take her place.
She used to be too cowardly and anyone dared to bully her, but now she can make everyone who disrespects her disappear silently.
"Little Miss."
The aunt who walked out of the house looked in awe at the girl in front of her who was raised by her.
He obviously grew up under her nose, but he became more and more unfamiliar.
"Auntie, no matter how many times I tell you, you still call me Youchu.
I have long regarded you as my mother. If I were not afraid that your reputation would burden you, I would have just called you mother."
Li Youchu's coldness disappeared, and he held his aunt's hand, very affectionate and respectful.
The aunt saw the former Youchu standing in front of her in a trance. She couldn't help but feel relieved and quickly refused:
"I don't dare to talk nonsense. The young lady's father and mother are only the master and his wife. Fortunately, the young lady didn't call me that. If outsiders knew that the young lady actually called me that in private, I, I..."
She didn't dare to say the following words.
Although she is just a little wet nurse, she also knows that when she is called such a name, it is not an honor, but a scythe that kills her life.
"Now I am very satisfied. I am lucky to be able to serve you for the rest of my life."
Six years have passed, but her appearance does not look old, but she is getting younger and younger.
Thanks to Li Youchu's use of elixirs to nurse her back to health, she not only regained a lot of bones in her body that had been overstretched before, but even the calluses on her hands disappeared.
Although she is called a servant, she has not worked for a long time. She only occasionally cooks for Li Youchu's childhood favorites.
Over the years, I have actually developed a bit of nobility.
Li Youchu paused for a moment and said, "You can call me whatever you like, aunt. I'm going to have dinner at my father's place tonight. Can aunt go with me?"
The aunt shook her head quickly: "I won't go. I'll wait at home for the young lady to come back. By the way, young lady, don't forget today."
"I remember it."
…
The night is getting darker.
A lively family dinner in Li's house has just ended.
There were quite a few people attending the family dinner this time, with three tables filled with more than thirty people in total.
In addition to Li Ming and his five wives and concubines, there were also his illegitimate sons and daughters who were brought to the island.
He had many lovers on the outer islands. After some lovers gave birth to sons for him, they would come to the island to raise them and gather the family's wool.
According to the rules of the Li family, anyone with blood of the Li family can be supported by the family.
After all, Li Ming was just a wanderer who relied on his family background. How could he afford to raise so many children to practice?
Ordinary parenting is simple, but giving every child a chance to practice is not simple.
Fortunately, he has family support, so he can just be a good stallion with peace of mind.
If there is a promising person among the younger generation, he who sows will naturally be honored.
Although an illegitimate child like this would receive very few benefits from the clan.
But even Li Youchu could enter the Li family lecture hall and have the opportunity to practice, so he knew that illegitimate children also had opportunities to succeed.
An illegitimate child who can stand out despite being inferior to his peers in various conditions is naturally qualified for the family to rectify his name and be included in the family system.
Only by constantly absorbing new blood can a family survive for a long time.
Therefore, even though they knew that there were many wool-gathering behaviors like Li Ming in the clan, the upper management of the Li family never stopped them.
It's just a little more resources. Giving it to outsiders is not as good as giving it to our own people with the blood of the Li family.
"...You and others must learn from Youchu, don't let up, and waste the blood of the Li family in you.
Okay, let’s all disperse.”
After Li Ming held the training meeting, he announced that today's family dinner was officially over.
Ever since the genius Li Youchu was born among his descendants, Li Ming has gained inexplicable confidence in his bloodline.
Therefore, thanks to Li Youchu's blessing, those illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters who were not valued by Li Ming can come to Li's house every month to meet their biological father, have a meal with Li Ming, get acquainted with each other along the way, and finally take him.
A subsidy.
But it's a pity that there is only one Li Youchu.
After struggling for several years, Li Ming spent a lot of money in vain. His endowment was getting thinner and thinner, and he had already considered stopping the subsidy.
Li Youchu was about to leave but was stopped by Li Ming.
"Youchu, how do you think about what dad told you a few days ago?"
Li Youchu frowned and looked at Li Ming calmly.
"I am still young, and when I am focusing on my cultivation, I will not consider the personal affairs of my children. Dad, please don't mention this matter again in the future."
A month ago, Li Ming suddenly introduced a monk named Huang Jie to her.
Three days ago, Li Ming suddenly mentioned her marriage to Huang Jie.
When Li Youchu saw him like this, Li Ming felt nervous for some reason, but when he thought about the generous gift from the prospective in-laws and the conditions he had agreed to in private, he became emboldened.
"Youchu, since ancient times, the marriage of children has been dictated by parents and matchmakers. Now you have reached the age of marriage.
Besides, the Huang family's Silang is only thirty years old, but he has already successfully established his foundation. He is a famous young talent in Qilong Lake, and he is more than enough to match you.
My father has agreed to this for you, and the Huang family will come to our home soon to propose marriage. Then you just wait for your husband's family to pick you up."
Li Youchu's eyes narrowed: "At this time, has Dad ever asked Grandpa and he is willing to agree?"
Li Ming was just cultivating Qi, so he was really a little worried about his daughter, who was in the foundation-building realm.
At this moment, seeing that she did not fall out, but instead asked him about her grandfather's opinion, she suddenly felt certain in her heart.
After all, she is a little girl who has never been out of the island. When something happens, the first thing she thinks of is adults.
But Li Ming dared to marry off his daughter without worrying about his father's opinion.
After all, Li Youchu is just a daughter and cannot inherit the mantle of the Li family. Plus, she is an illegitimate daughter. She can be used as a brand, but not as an heir.
Besides, the Huang family didn't know why they were so crazy. The conditions offered this time were so high that even his father was moved.
Otherwise, how could a playboy like him, who relied on his father's breath for survival, dare to take the initiative to marry off the promising daughter of his second wife.
But the truth cannot be told, Li Ming only said:
"The old man is in retreat, I can decide this matter.
You Chu, the Huang family's fourth son is a direct descendant of the Huang family. If he has the opportunity to inherit the Huang family's business in the future, he will become the mistress of the Huang family.
With the resources of the Huang family to help you, your practice will be easier in the future.
You are my daughter, how could a father harm you?"
Li Youchu fell silent.
Li Ming thought Li Youchu had given in, and was about to strike while the iron was hot, when he heard Li Youchu suddenly say: "I regard you as my father, have you ever viewed me as your daughter, why do you have to force me?"
Li Ming smiled: "I'm doing this all for your own good... haha..."
His eyes became frightened, and he felt that his neck was being pinched by an invisible force, and his whole body was lifted out of thin air, and he soon became breathless.
His meager cultivation was of no use against Li Youchu.
Fortunately, as the son of the elder of the second room, he still has treasures to protect him.
Seeing that he was about to lose his life, a white light flashed from his dantian, and a red talisman as red as fire jade appeared. His body suddenly ignited a burst of flames and turned into a ball of ashes on the spot.
But a hundred steps away, Li Ming's figure was revealed, and he looked at Li Youchu with eyes filled with horror.
If it hadn't been for the Fire Escape Talisman that he had always carried, he would have died just now.
He never thought that Li Youchu would dare to kill his father at the slightest disagreement.
"how dare you?!"
Li Youchu missed the target, but he didn't panic at all. Instead, he looked at Li Ming leisurely.
"I didn't want to kill you so early, but you have a way to kill yourself, so you don't have to wait."
The fear in Li Ming's heart reached the extreme, and he shouted while running:
"You cheap maid, I helped you practice, but you actually killed your father?!"
"You bitch! Even if you kill me, you can't escape. Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
The sound suddenly spread, breaking the silence of the night.
"Bad servant? Patricide?"
Li Youchu's eyes had turned cold, and the look in his eyes made Li Ming unable to help but feel fear.
"No, I want to exterminate the clan!"
In a flash, she crossed a hundred steps in an instant and stopped in front of the fleeing Li Ming.
Plop!
Li Ming fell to his knees on the spot and begged for mercy:
"Youchu, for the sake of Daddy not making a big mistake, please spare Daddy once. Daddy will never dare to force you again.
You can do whatever you want, dad won't force you."
Li Youchu stood in front of Li Ming and suddenly asked: "Do you still remember Liniang?"
"Liniang?"
Li Ming looked confused.
This name is so popular that several of his sweethearts are named Liniang.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and shouted:
"Remember, remember, she is your mother, she is my wife, I remember her!"
Li Youchu added: "Then please remember that today happens to be her death anniversary."
Li Ming's expression changed drastically: "I, I..."
Li Youchu's eyes turned completely cold.
Li Ming seemed to see a huge shadow rising from behind his daughter, and even the moon in the sky was suddenly covered up.
I saw a smile on her lips, but there was no warmth at all.
"Yes, you don't remember. She was just one of your many women. She never saw you again until she died."
"no, do not want!"
The sound stopped suddenly.
Li Ming seemed to have no bones, he was completely limp and no longer breathed at all.
Li Youchu looked through the walls and scanned the fearful eyes in the house.
The noise Li Ming made just now has attracted a lot of people.
The corners of her mouth curled up again, and she felt endless joy welling up in her heart. All the forbearance she had endured for six years was released today.
"You guys, go and accompany him."
Plop, plop!
Li Youchu walked by lightly.
Li Ming's wives, concubines, children, servants, and even a dog at home fell silently.
The dark shadow under Li Youchu became thicker and thicker, gradually turning into an enchanting and charming shadow, seductive.
The movement finally attracted the others in the second room.
Seeing the massacre of Li Youchu, some people couldn't believe it, and some people's eyes were about to burst, and their anger overwhelmed everything.
"Minger!"
An old man with white beard and hair looked at the corpses all over the yard and chopped them off on the spot with a flying sword.
"You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
The flying sword was as powerful as a swimming dragon, drawing out a silver moon at night, and the night seemed to be cut open by this sword.
But Li Youchu just stretched out two fingers and caught the flying sword.
With a clang, the flying sword broke into two pieces and was thrown to the ground casually.
The flying sword of the old man flying in the sky was destroyed, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Li Youchu as if he were looking at a monster.
"You are not Li Youchu, who are you?!"
Li Youchu looked up at the old man, his nominal grandfather, without saying a word.
But the old man let out a scream, as if he saw something terrifying, and fell from the sky without making any more noise.
These methods made the onlookers frightened.
Whoever dares to look at her will die if she stares at her.
You must know that the one who just drew the sword was the second-room elder, who was in the Golden Core realm. A flying sword once cut off the head of a hundred-foot-long fish demon, and was hailed as Zhenren Fubo by the outside world.
But he died without even saying his name, and he died quietly.
Everyone fled.
Only Li Youchu stood there blankly, like an outsider.
