Knock, knock, knock... A series of knocks on the door pulled Li Xiaolang's thoughts back. Li Xiaolang slowly walked over and opened the door of the room.
"Young Master Little Wolf, are you asleep? Madam wants you to go to her room."
A tall old man appeared outside the door. This old man was relatively tall, but he didn't look thin. He gave off a strong and straight feeling. On his slightly protruding cheekbones was a pair of monocles that were rarely worn by noble butlers. Although the old man's face was full of wrinkles, his faint smile gave people a kind and warm feeling.
"Uncle Wei, I'll go over now!" This old man who looked very imposing was the butler, Old Wei, who had been in the Li family for decades. Although Old Wei looked tall, he always had a kind and kind smile on his face. He had taken special care of Little Wolf Li since he was young. Little Wolf Li also had a special impression of this old butler and had always called him Uncle Wei respectfully.
Li Xiaolang quickly and simply tidied up the wrinkles on his pajamas. After confirming that there was no problem, he rushed straight to his mother's room on the first floor.
When he thought of his mother, Li Yelan, the first thing that came to his mind was her beauty. This kind of beauty wasn't the kind of flawless facial features. It was more of a kind of temperament. That kind of classic and steady temperament gave people the aura of a scholarly family at first glance, which was unforgettable.
However, for Li Xiaolang, the mother-son relationship between him and Li Yelan wasn't very good. It wasn't that Li Yelan didn't like Li Xiaolang, but ever since his father left to develop his company overseas, Li Yelan had basically been managing the main company by herself. The busy work naturally made Li Yelan leave early and return late every day. The mother and son rarely met each other, as if there was an invisible estrangement between them.
However, it wasn't as if Little Wolf Li didn't know the reason behind this. Therefore, he didn't blame Li Yelan at all. He was just worried about how to face and get along with a mother and son.
When they arrived at Li Yelan's room, Li Xiaolang couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After taking a deep breath, he gently knocked on the door and said,""Mom, I'm Little Wolf. Is it convenient for me to come in now?”
"Little Wolf, come in." A crisp sound came from the room.
He pushed open the door and immediately saw Li Yelan sitting on the sofa. She had a delicate and beautiful face. She was wearing light blue pajamas and holding a purple clay teacup in her hand. She exuded a classic oriental aura, like Venus from the East, which was fascinating.
"Mom, why are you looking for me so late at night?”Li Xiaolang bowed to Li Yelan and secretly observed her expression. He noticed that Li Yelan's expression was a little solemn.
Li Yelan looked at Li Xiaolang with her warm eyes and asked quietly,""Little Wolf, how's your recent studies? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"There's no problem with my studies at all." Li Xiaolang replied. Although he wasn't a top student in his previous life, he was still a university graduate. If he didn't even know how to study for children, then it would be embarrassing...
"En, well done." Li Yelan nodded in satisfaction.
In Li Yelan's opinion, Little Wolf Li had always been a very sensible and obedient child. He never acted like a child and was also very smart. He was very good at handling things and could be said to be a very talented child. However, the only thing that worried Li Yelan was that Little Wolf Li didn't seem to like talking to children of the same age. She didn't know if it was because he wasn't good at communicating with others or if it was for some other reason. However, Li Yelan didn't think too much about it. After all, there was an important matter that he had called him over today…
Li Yelan gently picked up the cup in her hand and took a sip of tea with her pink and sexy lips. Then, she placed the cup back on the table and gently poured a cup of tea for Little Wolf Li. Li Yelan then looked at Little Wolf Li quietly and asked calmly,""Little Wolf, let me ask you a question. Do you believe in magic?”
Li Xiaolang was stunned when he heard this. Then, he replied hesitantly,"Maybe it exists!"
"Oh?" After hearing the answer, Li Yelan couldn't help but look at Li Xiaolang strangely. It seemed that this answer was a little unexpected."Why?"
" Uh..." Little Wolf Li was a little stunned by Li Yelan's question. Of course, he knew that there was magic in this world, but he couldn't just answer directly," I saw this anime, and it's a world with magic!
"I'm not too sure either, but Mom, you've always given me a very strange feeling, so I've been wondering if you know magic?”Li Xiaolang really couldn't think of any reason to prevaricate, so he could only force a lie.
Li Yelan couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She then patted Li Xiaolang's head and said,""Sly little brat."
"Little Wolf, it's time to tell you something.”After stopping her smile, Li Yelan looked at Little Wolf Li. Her eyes were as bright as the beautiful moon, exuding a gentle and loving gaze. However, her black pupils were as deep as the stars, making people involuntarily sink into them.
"Although our Li family is now a large business family, in ancient times, our Li family was a Taoist family that expelled evil from the world. As time passed, the existence of Taoists gradually withdrew from the stage of history. Even so, our Li family still passed down the Taoist family's Taoist techniques. After generations of inheritance and improvement, we have now created a unique magic of the Li family!”
"Little Wolf, you're already eight years old, and you're much more sensible than other children. I'm very pleased. As the heir of the Li family, you have to protect the Li family.”
Li Yelan took out a small, quaint wooden box from the wardrobe beside her bed. The patterns on the wooden box were clearly visible. It was a light brown, giving off a quaint feeling. There was a keyhole on the front of the box. Li Yelan placed the inconspicuous box on the tea table in front of the wolf cub with both hands.
After doing all this, Li Yelan gently raised her fair and flawless right hand. Under Li Xiaolang's surprised gaze, a magic key glowing with golden light slowly appeared in her hand.
What was even more ridiculous was that when the key appeared, it seemed to have a life of its own. It first spun in Li Yelan's hand, then wobbled and flew toward the keyhole of the small box.
“呯!”
The glowing key disappeared without a trace the moment it touched the keyhole. The keyhole shook a few times before turning into specks of starlight and disappearing into the air.
After a creak, the box slowly opened.
It was as simple and low-key as a box. The thing inside was a dark yellow book. The cover of the book was painted with the Eight Trigrams. The five corners of the Eight Trigrams were the five elements, and the center of the five elements was painted with the Yin and Yang poles with black and white fish. These three mysterious patterns made the originally ordinary book seem mysterious.
"Mom, this is?" Li Xiaolang looked at Li Yelan's every move in front of him in surprise. Although he had thought that he would be using magic in the future, when he first saw the existence of magic, the excitement and surprise filled his entire body.
"This book is a magic book that has been passed down from the Li family since ancient times. After generations of addition and modification by the Li family, it records more than 3,000 Daoist spells and magic spells of all sizes. It is the treasure of the Li family. Now that you have begun to accept the realization of becoming the heir of the Li family, this book should be handed over to you for safekeeping.”
Looking at the ancient magic book lying quietly in Li Yelan's hands, Li Xiaolang suddenly thought of the Book of Seals in Naruto. He guessed that the nature of these two books was similar.
"Most of the magic in this book requires a huge amount of magic power to be activated, and the power is also very powerful. The Li family was originally a Taoist family that exorcised demons. The initial magic was to destroy powerful destructive magic of ghosts and monsters. However, as the number of ghosts and monsters in the world decreased, the magic created by the Li family later became more practical and consumed less magic power.”
Li Yelan handed the book to Li Xiaolang. The moment he touched the book, Li Xiaolang felt a wonderful feeling spread from his hand to his entire body. It was as if the book was calling for something.
