Days passed by. Three days ago, Mu Qingyi had left the Li family with the Mu brothers, Feng Yun, Feng Huo, and Feng Yi.
"It's time to leave!" After the four people from the Mu family left, the Li family's courtyard returned to peace. Looking at the empty stove in the backyard, Wu Chen knew that the kind old man had already left. Although he did not know when he would be able to see Old Master Mu again, Wu Chen knew that if he did not leave now, many things would be delayed.
After spending more than half a month together, Wu Chen had completely integrated into the life of the Li family. Every day, he cultivated with the Li siblings, ate with them, and paid respects to Li Congming. His days were dull and full. The days in the Li family were happy, fulfilling, and beautiful, but parting was inevitable. However, Wu Chen didn't have the right to enjoy all of this. After all, Wu Chen still had many enemies outside the Li family's courtyard. There were many things he needed to do. This was a responsibility that he couldn't escape from, so he decided to leave.
"Sixth Young Master, Old Master invites you!" Just as Wu Chen was about to bid farewell to the Li family, a woman's voice sounded from outside the house.
"Aunt Dongxue, why is Grandpa looking for me?”Hearing Auntie Dongxue call him, Wu Chen immediately put down the things he was packing and walked to the door to open it.
Back then, the Li family was powerful and had countless servants. Among them, the most eye-catching ones were the four maids by Hou Yun's side: Chunhua, Xiafeng, Qiuyue, and Dongxue. These four maidservants were the closest people to the old woman, and they were also companions that Li Xiaomu had grown up with.
When Li Xiaomu married into the royal family, Chunhua and Qiuyue entered the palace as dowries, while Xia Feng and Dong Xue were kept by Hou Yun's side. In the coup ten years ago, Chun Hua and Qiu Yue had died in front of Li Xiaomu, while Xia Feng had followed behind the old woman Hou Yun and left the world. Out of the four maids, only Dong Xue was still alive.
The four maids were servants of the Li family, but Hou Yun treated them like his own daughters. After the Li family was pacified, Old Man Li wanted to marry Dongxue off. At least, he wouldn't let her suffer with the Li family. However, Dongxue refused to leave and stayed in the Li family. In the blink of an eye, the young girl in her prime had become a woman.
"Young Master…I'm not too sure about that. Old Master is waiting for you in the lobby.”Dong Xue was now an elder in the Li Residence. Although Dong Xue wasn't a direct descendant of the Li Family, as a servant who had gone through many hardships with the Li Family, she had a very high status in the Li Residence. Under normal circumstances, she would only serve Li Congming. As for the descendants of the Li Family, they would call her Auntie.
"Then Auntie Dongxue, you can go and rest first. I'll go to the lobby now. I won't make Grandpa wait anxiously!”Seeing Dongxue's expression, Wu Chen could guess what was going on. After all, the Li family was a wealthy family, and they were quite thoughtful when it came to certain matters. This time, Li Congming had guessed that Wu Chen was about to leave and wanted to give him some instructions. No matter how mature his grandson was, he was still a child in the eyes of the old man.
"Take care, Young Master. I still need to go out and buy something.”Dong Xue had long regarded the Li family as her own home, so she was not as reserved as an ordinary servant. Seeing that the message that Old Master Li had asked her to deliver had been delivered, Dong Xue was relieved and immediately stood up to leave.
"Auntie Dongxue, be careful on the road.”Seeing that Auntie Dongxue was about to leave, Wu Chen did not say anything. He closed the door and walked out of the front hall.
Although the Li family's courtyard was small, it occupied more than three acres of land. Although the backyard was connected to the front hall, it was still time-consuming to go all the way. Since he knew that it was his grandfather calling him, Wu Chen naturally wouldn't walk over slowly.
When Wu Chen passed through the small door in the backyard and arrived at the front hall, there were already many people sitting in the front hall. Other than Wu Chen's third uncle, Li Bing, all the direct descendants of the Li family were seated in the hall. As for Li Congming, he was sitting in front of a screen in the middle of the hall, drinking a bowl of tea silently. Perhaps it was because of Wu Chen's arrival, Li Congming didn't stay in the room these past few days, and his face was a lot rosier than before Wu Chen arrived.
"Grandpa, you were looking for me!" Wu Chen's heart sank when he saw his grandfather getting healthier day by day. The pain of losing his daughter and wife for the past ten years had really hurt Li Congming. If it wasn't for Wu Chen's decision to come, the old man would have been able to resolve this knot in his heart. Wu Chen couldn't help but blame himself for not coming a few days earlier.
"Chen 'er, you're here. Come and sit beside Grandpa!”Seeing Wu Chen arrive, Li Congming immediately waved at him.
Although the Li family was in decline, they still had to abide by the rules of a big family. This was the only way to ensure the prosperity of the next generation. Looking at the children and grandchildren sitting in the hall, Li Cong was very happy. Only then could the Li family rise again. This was not to say that Li Congming was greedy, but he wanted to face his ancestors and his grandchildren. Back then, Li Congming had destroyed his cultivation base, especially after Wu Chen's return. This was more like a family.
"I wonder why Grandpa is looking for me." Without further delay, Wu Chen walked through the main hall to Li Congming's side.
"Sigh, child, you still have a long way to go. It's not that Grandpa wants to chase you away, and it's not that the Li family doesn't welcome you. It's really not the right time. Grandpa said that he hoped that you would stay here this time, but the things outside have forced me to separate from my grandfather and grandson.”Li Congming let out a long sigh. How could he not understand Wu Chen's current situation? However, things were different now. In the face of the current situation, even the Li family couldn't keep Wu Chen alive! Everyone in the Li family understood this situation, and so did Wu Chen. Instead of letting Wu Chen come and say goodbye, it would be better to let this old man say it.
"Grandfather, I understand. Even if you don't summon me today, I plan to leave. It's not good for me and the Li family if I continue to stay like this. However, I believe that everything will change the next time I return home.”Only by giving up would there be gains. Now, reluctance might bring disaster to the Li family and himself, so Wu Chen decided to leave as soon as possible.
" It's good that Chen 'er understands. As for inviting everyone back today, I actually want to explain some things. At the same time, I hope that Chen' er can leave in peace. Remember what Grandpa told you before. Do whatever you want. No matter what you do, you are still a child of the Li family. As long as you are a child of the Li family, I, Li Congming, will not let you suffer because the rule of the Li family is that you have to let others suffer.”Li Congming felt relieved and happy about Wu Chen's answer.
"Grandpa, I understand!" What Wu Chen needed to do now was to reassure Congming. He understood why Congming and the Li family had been under pressure for so many years.
"It's good that you understand. Grandpa doesn't have anything to give you, but Grandpa can introduce you to someone. This person has received my kindness and has never had the chance to repay it. He is currently living in Upper Beam City. This is my handwritten letter. Chen 'er, what you lack right now is not power, but time. Therefore, you have to remember to sink for a long time in the future. Only by sinking will you have a chance to take revenge. Grandpa doesn't want to say anything else. I believe you know.”Li Congming took out a letter from his sleeve and silently handed it to Wu Chen.
"Grandpa, may I know who you are?" If Li Congming knew someone who could entrust Wu Chen to, that person must be Li Congming's best friend. Wu Chen wanted to know more about this person.
"Child, this person is one of the three major forces in Upper Beam City, the Hall Master of Dragon Tiger Hall, Guo Shouyi. However, I don't mind you looking for him as soon as you return to Upper Beam City. I hope you can use him as your trump card.”Li Congming patted Wu Chen's head lovingly and drank a cup of tea.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. Chen 'er understands!" Wu Chen naturally understood what Li Congming meant, and this was exactly what he meant. The more trump cards he had, the better. Only then would Wu Chen have a chance of surviving in this situation.
The Dragon Tiger Hall was the strongest force in Upper Beam City. Wu Chen was relieved that Li Congming had such a friend. If it weren't for the help of such a force, the Li family wouldn't have been able to survive until now.
"That's good. Grandpa can rest assured now. Rest early after dinner. I'll get your uncle to send you off tomorrow morning.”Li Congming patted Wu Chen's head again and sighed. As for why he said that, perhaps only the people present knew…
