Seeing Li Kezhou riding into the city, the leader touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.
A guard next to him came up and said, "Boss, is this guy really the one who has been making a lot of noise in recent months?"
The leader nodded slightly: "You can't be wrong! Although four years have passed, I still remember this person's face. He must be the former Youyun Tianjiao."
"But it's a pity! I heard that Liu Mengli, the proud daughter of the Liyue Sword Sect, had her cultivation disabled! By the way, have you heard about what happened to the Li family?"
The guards around me looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all shook their heads.
…
The Li family is truly the largest family in Youyun Prefecture.
But the so-called largest family has only achieved success in the past ten years. As for the reason, it is mainly because of the three words "Li Jianyi".
As long as these three words are present in the Li family, no matter what kind of business they do, it will be almost unimpeded, and all competitors will give in. Even the "Dianxing Sword Mansion", which is the power controlled by Youyun, will give it three points of favor.
Li Kezhou led his horse to a magnificent mansion, and saw "Li Mansion" written in two large characters inlaid with gold on the plaque of the mansion.
After he tied up his horse, he came to the brass gate with the animal's ring in its mouth.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the door opened with a bang.
The people inside were about to go out when they saw someone standing close to the door. They were startled and took three steps back.
This is a short, fat man who looks to be around fifty years old at least.
Li Kezhou saw this person with a smile on his face: "Second uncle! Are you okay?"
The short and fat man saw Li Kezhou clearly. He was not as happy as his uncle and nephew were reunited. Instead, he frowned slightly. After a while, he said calmly: "He's back!"
At this time, a woman in luxurious clothes came from behind. When she saw Li Kezhou, she looked stunned for a moment, and then came up to him with a smile on her face.
"Oh! It's Mo Chen!"
Before Li Kezhou entered the Ziji Sword Sect, his real name was Li Mochen.
There was a hint of joy in the woman's voice, but the smile on her face remained stiff.
Li Kezhou naturally understood the reason.
He didn't care about the cold expressions of these people, and said to himself: "I just came back because I heard..."
"Okay! I know you are tired from the long journey. Go back and rest. We will talk about this later."
After the short, fat man finished speaking, he left without looking back.
The woman looked embarrassed and said with a forced smile: "Your second uncle has this temper. Don't take it seriously. You can go back to the house first. You won't tell me in advance when you come back. I will ask the maid to help you clean up the room later."
Li Kezhou frowned secretly after hearing this, feeling that things here seemed not that simple.
It was obvious that he had received a message from someone from the Li family, telling him to come back as soon as possible. Now that he was back, he was told that he would not tell him in advance. This showed that the other party did not seem to know about his return.
The woman glanced into the distance and saw the short, fat man waving his hand at her impatiently.
As she walked, she said: "Mochen, you go back first. Your second uncle and I have something urgent to go out for. We will be back soon to pick you up!"
Li Kezhou looked at the two people's retreating figures, and he was filled with doubts for a moment.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Huh? Li Mochen, you are indeed back!"
Li Kezhou turned around and saw that this person was similar to him.
This person is none other than his half-brother Li Yunfan.
This Li Yunfan was dressed in glittering gold, his face was sallow and dull, and he looked like he had been drained by alcohol. Coupled with his typical dandy expression, he was obviously an ignorant and dissolute boy.
Li Kezhou didn't have any brotherly feelings for this person, so when he heard the other person calling him by his first name, he didn't pay much attention.
"Li Yunfan! I heard that my father was killed by a traitor, so I rushed back without stopping. What happened?"
Li Yunfan burst out laughing when he heard what he said: "Hahaha! Li Mochen, your excuse is not very good, and it is even more rebellious. Why can't you come back? You even cursed your father. If you let your father know, you will definitely regret your life.
I've killed you, a scoundrel like you..."
The anger in Li Kezhou's eyes flashed away.
But listening to Li Yunfan's words, he became more and more certain that he had been involved in a conspiracy, because it was obvious that his father was not murdered by someone as the messenger said, and his whereabouts are unknown.
"Where is father now?" Li Kezhou asked coldly.
Li Yunfan looked sarcastic: "You haven't come back for a few years, and now you have come back after being crippled. Have you heard that the Li family is going to be divided, so you plan to get a share of the pie? You are really shameless, I know
You are so shameless that you will definitely come back to fight for the family property. Some people in the family still don’t believe it, but now I have convinced you!"
Li Kezhou frowned: "Whether we separate or not has nothing to do with me. Now I ask you, where is your father?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter. You are really deceiving yourself. Don't think that I don't know. You are now useless and have no power to tie a chicken. You have been demoted to a handyman in the Ziji Sword Sect. What is a handyman? It is nothing more than doing some laundry.
You're just a lowly handyman like toilet cleaning and toilet cleaning. What's wrong? Now they won't even let you do this kind of work. Are you planning to come back and beg for food?"
Li Yunfan became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end he gritted his teeth: "I'm not afraid to tell you today, you won't even get a penny from the family property. My Li family has made a fortune up to now, and you, a scoundrel like you, haven't done anything. Now come back and just pat your butt.
If you want to get a piece of my pie, go ahead and daydream!"
Li Kezhou raised his hand.
"Pa..."
Li Yunfan's body was already weak, so he was immediately slapped off his feet and put his head against the wall.
"Ah! Blood!"
Li Yunfan's head was bruised and bloody, he wiped his hands and screamed in horror.
"Li Mochen, you are such a scoundrel, you have a mother but not a mother, you dare to hit me. Ever since I was a child, no one has ever dared to hit me. You..."
"Shut up!"
Li Kezhou shouted loudly, and Li Yunfan shuddered, and his voice suddenly stopped.
"I asked where your father was twice, but you idiot kept talking and talking nonsense. Just now you were disrespectful to me. If you are an outsider, your head is already rolling on the ground. You should be grateful for your identity!"
Just then, a voice suddenly broke in:
"Really? Li Mochen, although your cultivation is gone, your temper has only increased. You hurt my brother, and I only give you one chance to atone for your sins."
Hearing that there was another person coming, Li Kezhou looked slightly sideways.
"Li Yunxia!"
Seeing this person appear, Li Kezhou whispered his name.
This person is Li Yunfan's biological sister and his half-sister.
Li Yunxia is one year younger than him, and their relationship is like fire and water.
After he joined the Ziji Sword Sect and became Li Jianyi, the relationship between the two has not improved, but from now on wherever he appears, this person will definitely avoid him.
Moreover, Li Kezhou knew that unlike his younger brother who was a playboy and incompetent, Li Yunxia had a certain talent in swordsmanship.
Although he did not meet the qualifications to join super powerful forces such as Ziji Sword Sect and Liyue Sword Sect, he was also accepted into the sect of "Dianxing Sword Mansion".
