Free Web NovelThe Ying Family Old Residence, what was once a large courtyard was now filled with broken walls and ruins, with only the ancestral hall barely retaining its original appearance.
It was just that a large hole in the roof of the ancestral hall allowed a beam of heavenly light, accompanied by wind and snow, to fall in, scattering onto the statues of the ancestors.
In front of the statues, there was still that incense burner, but the stand now held two more memorial tablets.
“Son, come offer some incense to your Ying Family uncle and Aunt.”
“Coming.”
Li Mo lit the incense and bowed to the memorial tablets. Suddenly, he felt something and looked up at the statue of the Ying Family ancestor.
Just now, there had clearly been a fleeting fluctuation of the power of all living beings, but now it seemed to have returned to its normal state.
Wuling statue in the Southern Border?
At that time, a big question mark filled Li Mo’s mind in the dream.
The ancestral statues worshipped in ordinary households, or even in large families, could not possess the divine power to even dispel Year Beasts, as seen in the dream...
Li Mo stared intently at the statue. Its Face gave him a sense of familiarity... but a careful search of his memory yielded no trace.
At this moment.
Footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
“Master?” Li Dalong’s voice came.
“Hmm?”
Li Mo turned his head and saw Xue Jing, dressed like an ordinary pharmacist, standing in the snow at the entrance of the ancestral hall, with a smile on his Face. fгeewebnovёl.com
Xue Jing naturally didn't come alone.
Old Li's Master had arrived, so naturally, Xiao Li's Master had also arrived.
Shang Wu stood with her arms crossed, her chin slightly raised.
“Master, why did you come personally?” x2
“Your Highness the Great Yu Crown Prince already arrived in Yunzhou yesterday. It won't be long before he reaches Ziyang Prefecture to personally commend Xiao Mo and Xiao Bing'er,” Xue Lao said with a chuckle.
“!”
Li Dalong was stunned, and his back suddenly straightened.
Gu Xueqin pinched her husband's waist, feeling as if she hadn't woken up yet.
The Great Yu Crown Prince, who was also the next Great Yu Emperor, personally coming to commend them.
The impact on the couple was clearly different.
The Great Yu Crown Prince, Qianlong Ranking number one, the one who took Chu Long's Sword Bone... her eldest brother?
Li Mo narrowed his eyes and walked to his Master's side.
Shang Wu turned sideways:
“I'm just out for a stroll with Lao Xue. You're a Qianlong Ranking Prodigy. How could I possibly presume to associate with you?”
“Master, all the soldiers in the Southern Border know that the reason I was able to defeat the enemy was entirely thanks to the winning secrets you taught me. Although you didn't go with me, the reputation of the Fighting King Shouze must have spread throughout the entire Southern Border.”
“Hmph hmph...”
“Oh, right, Master, I have a constructive suggestion.”
Li Mo took out a bottle of Golden Wind Scorching Blade and a thick red envelope from his System space, and said seriously:
“Let's team up, Master and Disciple, and take down that Great Yu Crown Prince.”
“As expected of my Baby Disciple! If we take him down, I'll be the Master of the Qianlong Ranking number one from now on!”
Shang Wu took a sip of wine and felt that her Disciple had thought of the same thing as her, and her beautiful Face finally stopped pouting.
The Master and Disciple huddled together, whispering conspiracies. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
From time to time, they would let out cackling laughter.
Xue Jing: “...”
Li Dalong gave his son a rap on the head, but it only made his own fingers ache. This kid's head was truly hard.
“You rebellious brat, that's the Crown Prince, His Majesty's eldest son! Do you know your words just now are enough to get you sentenced?”
“What about His Majesty's eldest son?”
Li Mo, who grew up under the red flag, mumbled, “Who could cut off the supply lines of the Qingmu City army? And even recall Zhennan King to Dijin with an urgent order?”
Li Dalong's expression instantly stiffened.
After a moment's thought, Old Li seemed to deflate, opening his mouth to say [N O V E L I G H T] something, but then stopping himself.
He could only look at Ying Bing:
“Bing'er, do you think he's being appropriate?”
“The Great Yu Crown Prince...”
Ice Cube pondered for a moment, then said coldly:
“Him? Commending me?”
Li Dalong: “???”
No, I asked you to talk about Xiao Mo, who has no respect for superiors.
I didn't ask you to be a textbook example for him!
Bing'er isn't like this. Although she's inherently aloof, she wouldn't say things recklessly. How could she...
Li Dalong and Gu Xueqin exchanged glances.
Could it be that she was led astray by their scoundrel son?!
Lao Xue, who had long known about the Master and Disciple duo of Shang Wu and Li Mo, cleared his throat:
“Let's just say these rebellious words in private. Our Qingyuan Sect, nominally, still received a seal up from the Great Ancestor. Although we are not subordinate to the imperial court, we cannot ignore it.”
“When the Crown Prince arrives, basic etiquette is still required.”
“At the very least, we must show up and keep up appearances. We'd best set off today.”
Anyway, New Year's Eve had passed, and his birthday had also passed. The next few days would merely involve relatives and friends visiting, and his parents' annual mutual bragging session.
Furthermore, having Lanke Mountain bombarded with special effects every day was not a good thing.
So, that day, after lunch, the group prepared to return to Ziyang Prefecture.
“We're in a hurry, so I borrowed Elder Qian's warship.”
Xue Jing, in the backyard of the Li Family, threw out Elder Qian's treasured warship.
“There's no need for that.”
Li Mo smiled slightly and summoned the Somersault Cloud.
Now, as long as the Somersault Cloud didn't use its Ten Thousand Mile Teleportation ability, it was capable of carrying more than ten people.
“What kind of martial art is this??”
Xue Jing's eyes widened slightly, startled in his heart, but on his Face, he nodded calmly.
The Somersault Cloud ascended into the sky, soaring towards Ziyang Prefecture.
His waving parents became blurry, and soon Qinghe County also became tiny, gradually disappearing from view.
The Somersault Cloud gradually flew above the clouds, and even the snowflakes that brushed their Faces were gone.
Three suns hung high in the sky, baking the sea of clouds beneath their feet, giving them a feeling of having nowhere to hide.
“If only I had sunglasses,” Li Mo thought.
Oh, right, Princess Xiao Jiang's eyes seemed unable to look directly at the sun, somewhat similar to a certain eye disease from his previous life.
It was inconvenient to always wear a cloth strip. If it were replaced with sunglasses...
He wondered how big Chu Long's head was. He should measure it later.
“Xiao Mo, Xiao Bing'er, the unusual phenomena at Lanke Mountain are astonishing now. You should have heard about them.”
Xue Jing suddenly transmitted his voice.
Flying at high altitude, speaking aloud meant the sound wouldn't carry.
“...”
Li Mo was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, “I know a little. What's wrong, Lao Xue?”
Ice Cube pursed her lips, glanced at Li Mo, and sat quietly beside him, saying nothing.
Xue Jing said earnestly:
“The unusual phenomena at Lanke Mountain are so astonishing. Whatever is inside the mountain is probably extraordinary, and thus it has attracted many large Sects. Many Zhen Prefecture large Sects, hidden Sects, and Jianghu recluses who are hidden Dragons and crouching tigers are now flocking to it...”
“Are you saying that our Qingyuan Sect is a small Sect, and if we get involved, we're likely to be collateral damage?”
“...”
Lao Xue choked. What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?
“Our ancestors also had extraordinary origins...”
“To get back to the point, the Sect has discussed it, and we still need to go to Lanke Mountain. Are you and Ying Bing willing to go and investigate?”
“Of course, for the Sect, I am duty-bound.”
Li Mo nodded seriously and solemnly, leaning back slightly, his hand naturally dropping and just happening to grasp Ice Cube's small hand.
Xue Jing was very satisfied with his answer and said with a smile:
“Lanke Mountain is a mixed bag of Dragons and fish. If only the two of you go, the Sect Master and the Elders are not at ease. So, after discussing it, there's a convenient method that can ensure your safety.”
“While the Crown Prince is here in person, ask him to take you along.”
