The brothers soon arrived at a large hall, which is usually where family affairs are held. Thick and majestic mahogany pillars, simple and precious ivory carvings, and silk carpets, a specialty of the Western Regions, demonstrate the powerful strength behind the Li family's low profile.
"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, are you here to see the head of the family?"
As soon as Li Mu and Li Mu walked to the door, they saw a handsome man standing in front of the hall. He was wearing a purple robe and holding a feather fan in his hand. He was the Li family's first counselor and Lin Qingzhu's father, Lin Yu.
This counselor Lin has followed Li Yubai for thirty years, making suggestions and strategizing. It can be said that he is the right-hand man of City Lord Li. He has made great contributions to the strong rise of the Li family and is known as the Qinglan Divine Operator.
"Uncle Lin, yes, I brought my second brother to see my father, and there happened to be some situations that I had to report to my father."
Although Lin Yu has a foreign surname, he has a very high status in the family and is an upright and generous man. Therefore, he has been favored by the children of the Li family for many years, and Li Yue naturally respects him.
"Well, let's go in together. The master of the house is just looking for me to discuss something. Hey, Second Young Master, have you formed a pill?"
Walking among the family, Li Mu could not hide his aura. Lin Yu was a master of the Transformation Infant Realm, so he naturally discovered that the second young master, who had never practiced cultivation a year ago, had actually broken through to the realm of pill formation.
"Yes, Uncle Lin, I had a lucky break a few days ago."
In the memories he inherited, Counselor Lin has always taken good care of him. He is also one of the people who truly understands the original Li Mu and knows that he is not actually a playboy. Otherwise, Lin Qingzhu would have wanted to leave with him without his father's permission.
It was difficult to be so close, so Li Mu was naturally very respectful to him.
"Yes, I know you are not a person who will give up easily. The head of the family will be very happy if he finds out."
Hearing Lin Yu's praise, Li Mu was still a little happy. After all, he was a complete loser when he was on Earth, and being praised like this dates back to elementary school.
But when he heard that his father would be happy about it, Li Mu was still a little uneasy. In fact, in the memory he inherited, his father, the city lord, always had a cold face and never smiled at him. The two of them didn't know each other at all.
Like a father and son, but more like strangers.
I heard Lin Qingzhu say that his mother died of postpartum hemorrhage, and Li Yubai stayed in front of the grave for three days without sleep, which showed the depth of his love. This was also the main reason why he thought he was not welcomed by his father in his previous life.
Li Mu, who was in a state of confusion, followed Lin Yu and Li Yue into the main hall. At this time, the sky had darkened, and the oil lamps in the hall had been lit. The master's chair was carved from golden nanmu.
Sitting there was a rich and handsome man, dressed in green robes, wearing a jade crown, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looked very heroic.
Qinglan Sword Immortal, Li Yubai.
"Father, the situation is like this. According to the second brother's description, I also think that the investigation of the Nangong family should be stepped up to prevent them from doing things secretly that will harm Qinglan City."
Li Yue gave Li Yubai a complete report on Li Mu's previous attack by a beast trainer and his companions being injured by mysterious weapons outside the city, and then put forward his own suggestions, which he and Li Mu considered to be the best option at the moment.
Suitable method.
"Brother, Nangong Bo has been stumbling upon our Li family overtly and covertly for so many years. Does he need to be beaten so that he doesn't act rashly?"
Lin Yu on the side also raised his hand to Li Yubai and suggested that this Li family's first counselor was even easier to convince Li Yubai than the two young masters of the Li family most of the time. After all, they were brothers who conquered the country together and had already left.
Instead of the relationship of master and servant, we are as close as brothers and sisters of the same family.
"When did you break through to the Dan Formation Realm? What level are you at now in the Tiansheng Jue and that set of sword techniques?"
When Li Yue and Lin Yu were admonishing, Li Yubai did not change his expression at all. Even when he heard that the Nangong family was most likely secretly planning a conspiracy, it did not attract the attention of the Qinglan Sword Immortal.
Li Muchi lowered his head, and a light flashed in the city lord's eyes.
"Yes...yes, father, I made a breakthrough in the battle with the killer. Now Tiansheng Jue is trying to break through to the second level, and the family swordsmanship has reached the fourth form."
This is the first time Li Mu has faced questions about his father after time travel. The word father seems a bit unfamiliar to Li Mu in any life, so that the sudden question makes Li Mu feel a little at a loss and can't even speak.
They all started stumbling.
"Um……"
There was no praise, no affirmation, only one word "um". Li Yubai's eyes did not even stay too much on the second son, but just turned away. Such indifference made Li Mu, who was already nervous, feel relieved instantly.
Angry.
"After all, it's still not worth a second look from my father."
This is the monologue in Li Mu's heart. How much the souls of the two lives long for the love and care of their parents. People like Liu Ruoying, Lin Qingzhu, Nie Xiaoyu and even Li Yue are subtly changing Li Mu, freezing those two lives.
My heart melted, but in the end it couldn't compare with the expectation of father's love and mother's love.
"Nangong Bo is a very well-connected person in the city. Funding and supporting the local forces in the Cangyun Empire is only one part of his many plans. In fact, I also have a bad premonition about this family, but the relationship between the Qinglan City family is complicated, and the relationship between them is complicated.
And using his whole body, Lin Yu continued to send more spies to sneak into Nangong's house, and find out Nangong Bo's true purpose at all costs."
"Yue'er, the personal guard you are responsible for should not go out to suppress bandits recently. Pay attention to the situation in the city and follow the instructions of me and your Uncle Lin at any time."
After making arrangements for Li Yue and Lin Yu one after another, Li Yubai's eyes finally fell back on Li Mu. Seeing his son taking away his most beloved woman, he was also struggling in his heart.
"Practice well. In the sect election in a year's time, I hope that both you and your eldest brother can join the sect, so that we can continue the development of the family."
After saying this simple instruction to Li Mu, Li Yubai said a few more words to Lin Yu and asked him to go back first. The Li family, father and son, were left in the hall.
"Mu... Mu'er, since you and your eldest brother have reached the Dan Formation Realm, it's time to let you know some of the things and trump cards of our Li family."
Li Yubai's words made Li Mu a little shocked. He didn't know what trump cards the Li family had in his memory. He looked at Li Yue next to him in confusion, but didn't find anything unusual in his expression. Obviously, he already knew this.
Li Yubai did not explain too much, but stood up directly and motioned to Li Mu to follow him.
Li Mu, who was full of doubts, could only follow Li Yubai through a long passage behind the hall after receiving Li Yue's affirmative extension.
"Brother, where are we going? Doesn't this road lead to the backyard? What's there?"
Li Yue did not answer Li Mu's question, but signaled him to follow him, and then followed Li Yubai closely towards Li Mu's familiar yet unfamiliar backyard.
