"This matter has been done well." Li Tingyun's calm voice surprised everyone.
"Father...father?" Li Yuangong stared at Li Tingyun with wide eyes. The head of the Li family had not spoken the word father in public for too many years, which shows how shocked Li Yuangong was now.
Li Ba Dao also had a puzzled look on his face. His ancestor Li Tingyun had always only had a very weak impression in Li Ba Dao's mind. Whether it was in his "last life" or after his rebirth, the total number of times Li Ba Dao saw Li Tingyun never exceeded ten times.
times, and all of them were watched from a distance. I remember that on the day when my father and grandfather died together, my ancestor only glanced at me from a distance.
Li Tingyun strolled to the main seat and slowly sat down. The moment the old man sat down, everyone felt as if they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, as if a giant dragon had finally laid down.
"Yuan Gong, I said you went too far, are you dissatisfied?" Li Tingyun asked in a calm tone.
"I don't dare, kid." Li Yuangong quickly bowed and replied.
"You can't say you don't dare, you should say no." Li Tingyun continued: "When I re-established the rules of the Li family, I said that no matter who is doing things according to the rules, I know that in such a large family, the person in charge should always have enough
Majesty, so many times I turn a blind eye to what you people want to do. For example, when you secretly gave instructions not to allow this child to practice, I never objected."
Seeing Li Tingyun suddenly say this, Li Ba Dao couldn't help but glance at his ancestor curiously. Li Ba Dao couldn't figure out what his ancestor was going to do when he showed up today. Of course, not only him, but also Li Yuangong could not figure out what Li Tingyun was doing.
What do you want to do? Even the head of the family is silent now, and the other Li family members dare not even take a breath. The elder who used to be as cold as ice now has a low-brow look, but he always reveals a kind of saying no.
Clear feeling of awkwardness.
"I can understand what you are thinking. What happened during the year of Chengzong did cause a lot of harm to my Li family. But the matter is over after all, right? The so-called cursed blood is just some other people who like to watch the fun.
The rumors spread by the monks in the family can be used by outsiders. Do you really believe this?" Li Tingyun's tone suddenly became stern: "Is it because you are old and confused, or are you the head of the family who has been sitting for these years?
Did the throne drain all your courage?"
Li Tingyun's sudden sternness frightened everyone's legs. The ancestor's majesty was so astonishing that some of the Li family's children even fell down. Li Yuangong fell to his knees with a plop, not even daring to say anything.
"The Li family can be defeated by the enemy, but they can never be defeated by one of our own!" Li Tingyun still scolded sternly, then looked at Li Badao and said calmly: "Go and invite Xiao Rou."
Li Ba Dao noticed the word "please" and felt relieved. He dragged his tired body to invite Xiao Rou. On the way, Xiao Rou cursed Li Yuangong in a low voice because of her injuries. Li Ba Dao couldn't help but secretly
Laughing. But after entering Qingyun Hall, Xiao Rou's whole body was tense and her head was lowered.
"Xiao Rou, you have done well these years." Looking at Xiao Rou's cautious look, Li Tingyun said kindly.
After hearing this, Xiao Rou suddenly trembled and subconsciously wanted to kneel down. However, she was stopped halfway by Li Ba Dao.
"Aunt Rou, my ancestor is really praising you." Li Badao said with a grin, and suddenly stopped Xiao Rou and affected her injury again. The severe pain made it difficult for him to keep his expression calm.
Xiao Rou looked at Li Ba Dao in confusion, and then at her ancestor Li Tingyun. She seemed a little at a loss at this moment. Li Tingyun in the main seat smiled slightly, nodded and said: "I am indeed praising you."
After looking at Li Ba Dao, the old man said again: "Ba Dao, this kneeling should be for you to bow down to Xiao Rou."
"Huh?" Li Badao was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "I hope the ancestor will speak clearly."
"Do you really think that your kid has been practicing secretly for ten years and I didn't find out?"
Li Badao frowned and continued to listen patiently.
"The head of the family doesn't want you to practice because he wants to prepare for a rainy day. Out of consideration for the overall situation of the Li family, what he did was right, so I didn't refuse when he proposed it. But after knowing the news, Xiao Rou risked being punished
She took the initiative to come to me because of the risk, and she begged me not to deprive you of your right to practice. At that time, I told her about the family head's considerations, and then asked her what kind of guarantee she could make." At this point, Li Tingyun suddenly stopped.
"How did Aunt Rou guarantee it?" Li Badao asked subconsciously, even forgetting to use any honorifics. Other Li family members around him also looked at him curiously, including Li Yuangong who was kneeling on the ground. He was actually also very curious.
Why did the ancestor decide to let Li Ba Dao practice? In fact, Li Yuangong didn’t know until today that Li Ba Dao’s secret cultivation was the ancestor’s instruction. Thinking about it now, things become reasonable. If it wasn’t the ancestor’s secret instruction, how could the shadow guard
The real movements of this boy may not be found.
When Li Yuangong was thinking about these things secretly, Li Tingyun finally spoke again: "I told Xiao Rou at that time that the majesty of the family leader is not allowed to be challenged, so I will not openly reprimand him for some of his actions, at least until his decision is wrong.
But everything can be discussed. If Xiao Rou can make a guarantee, you can naturally be allowed to practice. The request I made at that time was that if you do anything to retaliate against the Li family in the future or have any problems during your practice, she will serve as a guarantor.
She had to die to apologize first. She agreed to this condition without hesitation."
When they heard this, people looked at Xiao Rou with different eyes. Li Badao's face was expressionless, but his body was already trembling: "Then what."
"In fact, I just helped her find an excuse for you at that time. Once the excuse was made, it was nothing. But as the leader of the shadow guard, as the party responsible for keeping the secret, the condition at that time was that Xiao Rou must first pay for this guarantee
Pay a price. He said that since you want to practice, Xiao Rou should stop practicing. Then, she destroyed her life and soul in front of the leader." Speaking of this, Li Tingyun also sighed slightly: "Actually, that leader back then
I was present when the conditions were proposed, and I should have stopped her, but I didn't expect that just because I was stunned, she had already taken action."
After saying these words, there was no sound in the Qingyun Hall. Even Li Yuangong, who was about to have a fit, was completely stunned. He suddenly remembered that the soft and frail woman in front of him was the same as Li Badao's mother Miao Han.
They are called peerless sisters. Although the word "peerless" is a bit exaggerated when it comes to them, her cultivation level of the first level of the green level can definitely be called a strong woman. However, as the events happened that year, she has always been a strong person.
When the appearance of an ordinary person appeared, Li Yuangong gradually thought that this woman had practiced some special Qi gathering technique. He never expected that she would kill herself.
Destroying one's life means cutting off the opportunity to practice. For a person with great talent, this is actually something more difficult to accept than death. This woman is really not even afraid of death. Li Yuangong is a little dazed.
"Baby boy, is this person worthy of your respect?" Li Tingyun looked at Li Badao and asked.
Li Ba Dao woke up from a dream and knelt down on the ground without thinking. This was the first time he knelt down since his rebirth, but he suddenly felt that he couldn't do enough. Xiao Rou was just stunned, and Li Ba Dao was already kneeling.
After kowtowing countless times, there was blood on the ground, but there were also many tears mixed in it.
"Aunt Rou, Aunt Rou..." Li Ba Dao suddenly burst into tears. This was very embarrassing and inconsistent with the indifferent image he had established for himself after his rebirth, but he had no distracting thoughts. Xiao Rou quickly bent over to pull Li Ba Dao away.
She got up, but she couldn't lift up this thin boy. She wanted to cry, not because she was wronged, but because she looked at the sobbing boy kneeling in front of her, and she suddenly felt that all the hardships were rewarded.
.Every effort is worth it. Regardless of success, it only depends on character. No matter how domineering this boy has become now, at least he knows how to be grateful.
This is enough.
Li Tingyun finally stood up, pulled up Li Badao who was kneeling on the ground with his own hands, and said firmly: "I won't thank you for your kindness. Although Xiao Rou has no kindness to you, she has full love for you. You will never be poor in your life."
It’s good to forget this kindness, don’t say it, just do it, you know.”
"Ba Dao understands." Li Ba Dao nodded solemnly, wiped away his tears neatly as he spoke, and hugged Xiao Rou hard, even though the injury on his chest made him unbearably painful.
Li Tingyun looked at Xiao Rou, who was also in tears, and solemnly announced in front of everyone in the Li family: "From now on, Xiao Rou will be worshiped by my Li family." As soon as this statement came out, although there was still news in Qingyun Hall
There were some comments, but most of them were still silent, but it was not silent anger, but deep respect. Xiao Rou was not a retainer, but she did such a thing, and her conduct was worthy of everyone's respect.
Xiao Rou subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Li Tingyun said with a smile: "Think of it as my debt to you. You have done a good job in cultivating domineering over the years." Xiao Rou stopped thinking in one sentence.
He thought about speaking, and then turned to look at Li Yuangong: "If it hadn't happened in the past few days, what you did would still not be wrong. But since Ba Bao has shown enough strength and proved that he can control himself, you still have to
Killing someone is beyond the scope of planning for a rainy day, am I right?"
"Yes." Li Yuangong squeezed out the word with difficulty. It wasn't that he didn't mean what he said, but he was really not used to admitting his mistakes in public.
"It's good to admit your mistake." Li Tingyun didn't care too much about Li Yuangong's attitude, but simply said: "Since you know your mistake, then go and admit it to Ba Dao."
