Chapter 268: Eating Melons Is Not a Big Deal
In fact, in the decades since Li Guanxuan returned to Yongning Xiancheng, countless people have wanted to visit him at Wujiu Mountain.
The sword cultivators of the Li family all wanted to come and see what opportunities this exiled child of the family had obtained in Xianxuzhou and how much he had grown.
After all, this exiled child was the younger brother recognized by the current female emperor.
However, when they came to Wujiu Mountain, they were immediately stopped by Li Zhongdu.
The reason for not seeing him was very simple.
When Li Guanxuan was in the family, he was bullied by his peers. The only one who could be considered a good brother was Li Guanyuan, except for the few who pioneered the wasteland.
And the elders who protected him when he asked for the sword of Huyan's family.
But Li Guanxuan later found out through his third uncle Li Wangsheng.
The children who went to Xianxuzhou with him to pioneer the wasteland, Li Guanding, Li Guanwu, Li Guanping, Li Jianlin...These people, except for Li Guanwu who killed a foundation in the southern part of Xianxu, all others have died.
Some died of old age.
Some died in fighting.
Li Guanxuan is now 178 years old. From the age of 12 to now, those exiled disciples who have not broken through to the foundation-building stage have naturally fallen.
Li Guanxuan has never blamed the family, because when they left, they were all passionate about making a name for themselves outside.
The Li family gave them the skills, some travel expenses and resources, which was already the most they could do.
Moreover, as long as they get married and have children, and the children have good spiritual roots, they can still return to the family to enjoy a peaceful life.
After all, the Li family has more than 100,000 people, and the family can only give the children the resources they deserve. Everything else depends on personal efforts.
Only when you become stronger will the family pay attention to you and tilt resources towards you.
But Li Guanxuan knew in his heart that these Li family sword cultivators who came to visit him basically saw that he had become the younger brother of the empress, so they came to build relationships and see if they could have more connections to help.
However...
After Li Zhong intercepted them and said that the young master was busy with affairs recently and had not been seen, a wave of rumors swept through the entire Yongning Immortal City.
Some people said that Li Guanxuan was under house arrest by the empress and was guarded by Li Zhong personally. He might have an opportunity that the empress coveted.
Otherwise, why would Li Zhong, the eunuch who holds the seal of the Silijian, personally sit in Wuju Mountain?
Or is he really here!
Even if Li Zhong was respectful to Li Guanxuan and respectfully called him "young master", in the eyes of outsiders, it was just a reverence for the empress.
The play must be played out in full.
So after hearing this, Li Guanxuan told Li Zhong that anyone who came to visit him, except those who had a good relationship with him, would not see anyone else.
Including half-brothers.
Li Guanming, the eldest son of Li Guanxuan's father, was also the most valued person. He broke through to the Nascent Soul earlier than Li Guanyuan.
But in Li Guanxuan's eyes, this half-brother was best at "borrowing" some spiritual stones from many younger brothers and sisters.
So Li Guanxuan didn't have a very good impression of him, and he was even unwilling to contact him, lest he troubled him again or asked him to borrow something.
But no matter what, everyone was a relative, and now that he had a rare chance to go home, Li Guanxuan didn't want to make it too ugly, so he smiled and called "brother".
Li Guanyuan was the seventeenth in this lineage, and Li Guanxuan was the forty-ninth, so in front of outsiders, according to the rules, Li Guanxuan had to call Li Guanming the eldest brother, and Li Guanyuan the seventeenth brother.
"Hey, forty-ninth brother, I heard that you have already achieved the great perfection of the golden elixir, congratulations, congratulations!"
Li Guanming had a sunny and cheerful smile on his face, and wanted to step forward and put his arm around Li Guanxuan's shoulders to show their close relationship.
But Li Zhong raised his head slightly, and glanced at Li Guanming with his old and cold eyes.
In an instant, Li Guanming fell into the Nine Netherworld Hell, his whole body was stiff and cold, and even the Yuanying sitting cross-legged on the Dantian Qi Sea began to tremble constantly, and was extremely frightened.
Li Guanxuan smiled in his heart. He used the magical power of shielding the secrets of heaven to conceal the Qi. Except for his own people, no one else knew his true cultivation.
Li Guanxuan raised his hand and signaled Li Zhong not to go too far.
Li Zhong immediately bowed his head and placed his hands in front of his abdomen. His black and red official robe was clean and dust-free.
Master Yan Anbang saw the whole scene.
It was rumored that the empress asked Li Zhong to monitor Li Guanxuan, but it didn't seem to be the case.
"How are you, brother? I've been busy practicing recently, and I don't know much about my family." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..."
Li Guanming came back to his senses and his voice was trembling.
Li Guanxuan apologized, "Mr. Li has not been in a good mood recently. He has such an expression to everyone. Don't take it to heart, big brother."
"I understand, I understand."
Li Guanming nodded repeatedly, and then saw a petal of Dingyuan Snow Lotus floating in front of him.
"This thing can stabilize your Yuanying, so that you won't blame me if something goes wrong with your Yuanying in the future." Li Zhong said lightly.
"Thank you Mr. Li for the reward."
Li Guanxuan solemnly clasped his fists, with a grateful face, and his voice increased by a lot of decibels.
The cultivators who were greeting each other around couldn't help but look over here. After finding out that it was Li Guanxuan and Li Zhong, everyone had different expressions.
All the prominent family forces came to celebrate Li Wangsheng's transformation.
The Li family is one of the six major families, and the others are Song, Wang, Xie, Du, and Yao.
Among them, the Song family has a deep connection with Li Guanxuan.
After all, among Li Guanxuan's seven wives, there is a Confucian cultivator from the Song family.
"Changdong Zhenjun, it's Li Guanxuan."
Song Jitang and Song Linyin, who are in the Jindan realm, also followed their elders to participate in the Li family's Shenhua celebration today.
These two people are also old acquaintances of Li Guanxuan.
When Li Guanxuan was in Yinfeng City, it was these two people who came to give Song Zhiqiao the foundation-building mental method, and it was also these two people who left without saying goodbye in Baihu Mountain.
Li Zhong explained: "Sir, the middle-aged man next to these two people is Song Changdong, the Changdong Zhenjun of the Song family, who has the cultivation level of the late Yuanying. The other middle-aged woman is named Song Linghuai, who has the cultivation level of the early incarnation."
The middle-aged man has clear facial features and deep eyes. He looks like he has a talent lingering around him, and he is gentle and elegant, quite elegant and romantic.
The middle-aged woman was wearing a cheongsam, revealing her exquisite and graceful figure. Her smile was gentle, but her eyes were bright and energetic, as if she could see through people's hearts.
When Li Guanxuan looked over, Song Linghuai, who had the cultivation of the initial stage of the transformation of the spirit, was also looking at Li Guanxuan. There was no strange look in her bright and energetic eyes, but she was quite surprised in her heart.
Since she knew that Song Zhiqiao had formed the purple gold pill, she ordered Song Changdong to bring this girl back to the clan for training.
Song Changdong did so, but in the end, the matter was stopped by someone and it could only be left unresolved.
Of course, she didn't care about the follow-up matters. A mere Jindan junior was not worth her constant attention as a transformation spirit.
So she didn't know that Song Zhiqiao's Jindan Heart Method was blocked by Song Changdong.
However, when she saw Li Guanxuan and Song Zhiqiao again today, Song Linghuai specially used her divine mind to check Song Zhiqiao's soul card and found that the other party had achieved the Nascent Soul!
This also proves that Li Guanxuan has also achieved the Nascent Soul. Now that he has a great perfection in the Golden Core, it may be concealed.
Interesting... Song Linghuai smiled in his heart, but his eyes were full of admiration for Song Zhiqiao.
A Purple Gold Core cultivator who has passed the Nascent Soul Tribulation is naturally a Purple Mansion Nascent Soul. This woman has a lot of opportunities in Xianxuzhou. Her talents and qualifications have been changed. Maybe she can even impact the God Transformation in the future.
"Can I meet her?" Li Guanxuan asked.
Li Zhong understood and chuckled, "Of course."
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly, then said to Yan Anbang embarrassedly: "Master Yan, I met an acquaintance and happened to go over to say hello. Would you like to walk around the Li family by yourself?"
Yan Anbang smiled and said, "I have been teaching people in the academy for many years and don't have many friends. It is a kind of fate to meet Master Li. Why don't we walk together."
"Okay."
Li Guanxuan smiled, then looked at Li Guanming and said, "Brother, are you busy?"
Li Guanming glanced at the Song family and understood some of the things between Li Guanxuan and the Song family.
But this is the Li family's fairy mountain, so he is not afraid of anything. He immediately said, "Of course I am not busy. Big brother will accompany you for a walk."
Then, Li Guanxuan came to Song Jitang and Song Linyin, bowed, and greeted with a smile:
"It's been many years since we last met. How are you two Taoist friends doing recently?"
Song Zhiqiao also bowed and said, "Zhiqiao greets all the elders."
Song Jitang and Song Linyin met at first sight. The former returned the greeting and smiled, "Thanks to Taoist Guanxuan, I am fine."
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly, then looked at Song Linghuai and Song Changdong, bowed and said, "Hello, two seniors."
He knew about Changdong Zhenjun, after all, he was the earliest Yuanying Zhenjun he had heard of.
When he killed Shuimo Pavilion Master Yu Jingfen, the other party asked Song Changdong for help before dying, and secretly set him up.
Later, it was Li Guanyuan who settled the matter.
"I have heard of the name of Taoist Guanxuan for a long time. Today, I see that he is indeed as talented as the rumors say."
Song Changdong had an elegant smile on his face, but his eyes seemed to be smiling.
Obviously, he also knew that Song Zhiqiao had achieved the Nascent Soul stage, so he called him Taoist, which was quite teasing, but he did not expose it.
Song Linghuai glanced at Song Changdong, and then bowed to Li Zhong and said, "Linghuai greets Mr. Li."
Song Changdong was shocked and immediately bowed to Li Zhong.
The great eunuch who holds the seal of the Imperial Household Department has the most profound and unfathomable cultivation.
Some people say that he has reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritualization, while others say that he has reached the Great Refining Void...
No one knows the specific truth.
But the only thing that can be confirmed is that as long as Li Zhong takes action, no matter what the matter is, it can be settled.
In addition, many people from the six major families, including the Li family, died at the hands of Li Zhong.
In Yongning Immortal City, Li Zhong is a living devil, and no one dares to provoke him.
"Let's meet the young master." Li Zhong said indifferently.
Yan Anbang smiled and said, "The noble families all pay attention to the seniority and the juniority. How can the elders greet the younger generation..."
Before Yan Anbang finished speaking, he was blown away by an invisible force.
"Song Linghuai, meet the young master." Song Linghuai said immediately without any hesitation.
"... Song Changdong, meet the young master."
The elders of the spirit transformation have already saluted, and Song Changdong, who is in the late Yuanying stage, has to put away the elder's airs and salute Li Guanxuan awkwardly.
After all, in his eyes, Li Guanxuan is now just like the foundation-building kid before, not worth mentioning.
But he never thought that he was humiliated by Li Zhong just because he didn't salute him.
But it doesn't matter.
In the whole imperial capital, many of the six major families have been humiliated by Li Zhong.
Song Jitang and Song Linyin looked at each other, bowed and said in unison: "Song Jitang (Song Linyin), meet you, young master."
Li Zhong said indifferently: "Some things, I know, since Madam Zhiqiao has married the young master, she is a member of the Li family from now on. If the Song family has any dissatisfaction, just come to me."
Yan Anbang came back without knowing when, stroked his beard and smiled: "Yes, it should be so. Since she has been married, she is a member of the Li family... Hey, why did the Song family embarrass Song Zhiqiao?"
Yan Anbang gradually heard something wrong in Li Zhong's words, and after reacting, he asked a question quickly, with a look of eating melon in his old eyes.
Li Zhong didn't say anything.
Song Changdong was shocked.
Song Linghuai was a little confused at first, and then looked at Song Zhiqiao carefully.
Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "Master, you worry too much. There is nothing unpleasant between us."
"No, there must be."
Yan Anbang said with certainty. After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said, "I remember now! Song Zhiqiao did not practice the Song family's Jindan Heart Method. Instead, when she was in the middle and late stages of Jindan cultivation, she went to the library of Wuhui Academy to look for the Jindan Heart Method. Is the Heart Method blocked by the Song family?"
Hearing this, Li Guanxuan and Song Zhiqiao were silent.
After Song Linghuai looked at Song Zhiqiao, he sneered and said, "It's really embarrassing for the Li family."
"I was negligent for a moment, please punish me, aunt!" Song Changdong immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Song Linghuai ignored him and said to Song Zhiqiao: "I can give you what the Song family owes you now. At the same time, if you need anything, just ask and I can make up for it."
Song Zhiqiao bowed politely and said softly: "Zhiqiao doesn't need anything, and please don't blame Changdong Zhenjun. This matter has nothing to do with anyone. It's just that Zhiqiao insisted on doing it and wanted to practice some other mental methods. I hope you won't blame me."
Li Guanxuan, who knew Song Zhiqiao's character well, and Wen Rongxin and other girls, sighed at this moment that the little green tea was simply killing people.
The more Song Zhiqiao didn't want anything, the more miserable Song Changdong was after returning to the Song family.
Yan Anbang shook his head and sighed: "Alas, you Song family did something wrong in this matter. It's just the Jindan Heart Method and Yuanying Heart Method. Just give it to them. What's the point of holding on to it? Does Song Zhiqiao marry into the Li family and she is no longer a member of your Song family? How stupid! After all, she has the blood of the Song family flowing in her body. Can she just stand by and watch when the Song family has something wrong? Stupid! Very stupid!"
Li Guanxuan and his wives looked at each other silently.
This Master Yan really likes to watch the fun!
He even scolded the Song family directly!
But on second thought, Master Yan is the eldest son of the prime minister of the dynasty, so it seems that scolding him a few times is not a big deal.
