"Shifting responsibility. You know how to shirk responsibility when something happens. Do you think that Li Yun's bloodline is impure and you suspect that his clansmen have done something shameful outside, so you propose to expel him? Let me tell you, Li Yun is not a member of the Li family at all!”
"You guys are in big trouble! Sigh!"
The old ancestor suddenly stood up from his seat and paced around the meeting room anxiously with his hands behind his back. His face had obviously aged a lot.
"This…"
The higher-ups of the Li family in the room looked at each other with puzzled expressions. For so many years, they had thought that Li Yun was an orphan left behind by a meritorious family member. The ancestor had also said so in the past.
But now, it seemed that things were not that simple. Looking at the ancestor's anxious expression, there seemed to be a secret here, and it was a big secret. Otherwise, the ancestor would not have hidden Li Yun's identity.
"Could he be an orphan left behind by a large clan? For some reason, they are temporarily placed in our family? However, since the ancestor had hidden his origins, things did not seem that simple.”At the conference table, the slightly plump Third Elder narrowed his eyes and guessed.
The old ancestor suddenly turned around and looked at him deeply. He sighed heavily,"Fine, fine. Since things have already come to this, there's no need for me to hide it.”
The ancestor returned to his seat and sat down. After organizing his words, he said solemnly,"This happened fifteen years ago. Fifteen years ago, when I was traveling outside, I met a woman who was being chased. This woman was holding a newborn baby in her hands. She was probably only a few months old and hadn't been weaned yet. You should have guessed that this baby was Li Yun, whom I brought back.”
The ancestor's words made everyone's eyes light up. The first elder said,"That woman asked the ancestor to take in the baby, so the ancestor agreed?”
"Pretty much? She casually threw me three five thousand year epic-quality soul rings as a reward and asked me to take care of him for a period of time. She also warned me not to tell anyone about his origins, otherwise I would be hunted down by her enemies.”
"I was shocked by her generosity. I knew this was a hot potato and I was afraid that I would provoke a force that I couldn't afford to offend, but you also know that the temptation of three five thousand year epic-quality soul rings was too great. I simply couldn't resist it, so I was bewitched and agreed. At that time, I was worried for a long time.”
Hearing this, the Li Clan's higher-ups widened their eyes and their breathing quickened. Epic soul rings, they were actually five thousand year epic soul rings, and there were three of them. These were definitely the three most valuable soul rings in the entire Tiger City. They truly did not expect the clan to still be hiding these three treasures.
Three five thousand year epic-quality soul rings were a fatal temptation. No wonder the ancestor dared to take the risk. If it were them, they would have done the same.
"A clan that can casually give away three five thousand year spirit rings is definitely not simple. I'm afraid we're in big trouble.”
The Third Elder was calm. His words immediately put out the fire of the Li Clan's higher-ups and they finally quieted down.
"Patriarch, do you know what kind of family this is?”The scarred man retracted his greedy gaze and asked solemnly.
The old ancestor shook his head and sighed.""I don't know at all. I only know that the woman and this child's surname is Shen, and they possess the Sun Spirit. At that time, the experts chasing after that woman could each use at least eight spirit rings, but they were all wiped out by that woman with a wave of her hand.”
"What?"
Hearing this, all the higher-ups of the Li Clan were greatly shocked. They stood up from their seats together, each and every one of them losing their composure.
"Being chased by a group of experts who can use eight types of soul rings, so many experts are more than enough to destroy our country, but they were actually destroyed by that woman with a wave of her hand. How terrifying."
"Who uses the sun as a martial soul? It's simply unheard of! I've never heard of a clan using the sun as a spirit. Can the sun also become a martial soul?"
"This clan actually has the surname God? What a heaven-defying surname. There was actually a family in the world that dared to have the surname God. Were they not afraid of being punished by the heavens?”
The Li Clan Patriarch shook his head and sighed."Not knowing about this family can only mean that we are ignorant. This world is really too big. Perhaps we are only at the edge of the world's poorest land, and people are unwilling to set foot in this land because they think this place is barren. If we don't walk out of this land, it's naturally impossible for us to know the giants outside this land!”
The meeting room fell silent. These words made everyone realize how insignificant they were. They realized how insignificant they were in front of the true experts of the world. This world was indeed too big, so big that it was beyond imagination. In this huge world, it was normal for a terrifying family to appear.
"This family that uses the sun as their martial soul is indeed not simple, but the enemy family that is chasing them is also not weak. It has been fifteen years now, and that woman still hasn't come to pick up Li Yun. That terrifying family might have been destroyed by now.”The white-haired Second Elder stroked his long beard and said.
Hearing this, the Li Clan ancestor's nervous mood immediately relaxed a lot. That's right, fifteen years had already passed, and after such a long time, there was still no movement from that woman. Perhaps that clan really did not exist anymore.
"Even if that terrifying family is no longer around, we must find Li Yun. If they were really destroyed by their enemies, then the Sun Martial Spirit would be ownerless. Our Li family might be able to inherit it. Once we inherit the Martial Spirit of this big family, the Li family will dominate the Luotian Empire in a hundred years, and in a few thousand years, we will be as powerful as this family.”The Li Clan's ancestor narrowed his eyes, and a bright light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Hearing this, the eyes of all the higher-ups of the Li Clan lit up.
"But will Li Yun come back? We've offended him badly." The clan head said with a bitter face.
"Then go beg him. Even if you have to kneel on the ground for him, you have to invite him back!”The ancestor slammed the table and roared.
