Li Nianci looked at the ten annihilation ants in the porcelain vase, although they looked very quiet, but they gave people a very strong sense of oppression!

"Zhifan, what kind of spirit beast is this? How is it different from the wind and fire ants? I feel that they are even more powerful than the wind and fire ants!" Li Nianci asked curiously.

"This spirit beast is called the Annihilation Ant, it is indeed much more powerful than the Wind and Fire Ant, and I can feel more at ease with their protection for you. Li Zhifan said with a smile.

"Mother still don't want it, you will inevitably encounter some trouble when you go out, or you should defend yourself, you don't need these precious spirit beasts without going out of the door. Li Nianci is still worried about her son's safety, and when she thinks of what happened last time, she is afraid for a while!

"Mother, only when your safety is guaranteed, can my son do things with peace of mind, and I still have a lot of these spirit beasts, a few more, no less, a few less. Li Zhifan smiled and persuaded his mother to accept it.

Li Nianci nodded, she must accept her son's filial piety, otherwise it will chill her son's heart!

"Zhifan, there is one thing that my mother has never told you, you used to be young, and you didn't understand it, but now that you have grown up, your mother should tell you that thing. ”

Li Nianci felt that his son was becoming more and more sensible, so it was time to say the words hidden in his heart.

In fact, Li Nianci just didn't say it, Li Zhifan could guess what the other party was going to say, it must be related to his father, but it was really difficult for him to accept a father who suddenly appeared psychologically.

However, in order not to make his mother sad, Li Zhifan still said: "Mother, if there is anything, just say it, son, listen!"

Li Nianci nodded, adjusted his emotions, and then said with a flickering eye: "I met your father fifteen years ago, and he was still a down-and-out scholar at that time, but he was talented and worked as a teacher in the Li family, but the clan rules are strict, and the Li clan is not allowed to intermarry with foreign clans, and our relationship is not visible, and later because of you, I was expelled from the Li family, and your father was suddenly missing......

Speaking of this, Li Nianci's emotions were a little excited, and his voice became trembling.

"Since then, I have been looking forward to seeing your father as soon as possible, and I know that his departure is a last resort, and I know that he will definitely come back to pick us up!"

Speaking of the excitement, Li Nianci couldn't help but burst into tears.

Li Zhifan really couldn't listen to it anymore, in his opinion, his mother was an infatuated woman looking forward to a ruthless man, how could such a man who abandoned his wife and children come back?

"Mother, sometimes there is a gap between the ideal and the reality, how much affection can a man who abandons his wife and children have? Why do you cry for this kind of person?" Li Zhifan said with some anger in his heart.

Li Nianci's heart trembled when he heard this, and he immediately said excitedly: "Don't say that! Your father has his own troubles! Although he has never mentioned this matter to his mother, his mother knows that he is definitely not a ruthless person! Why does the current Li family suddenly think of our mother and son? It's not because your father has become one of the few strong men!"

Li Zhifan frowned, and couldn't help asking, "How do you know that the Li family's attitude towards our mother and son has changed because of this matter?"

"The steward of the Li family who sent us a congratulatory gift last month told me, and your father once said that within 20 years, he will definitely win the three armies at the Longmen Grand Event!

Li Zhifan sighed and said: "Mother, sometimes you know the beginning, but you may not be able to know the end, although this place is far away from the imperial capital, if someone really returns riding a kamikaze horse, ten days is enough to arrive! And now it has been more than a month since the end of the Dragon Gate Festival!"

Li Zhifan actually didn't want to hit his mother, but who wanted his mother to be deceived? He was just telling the other party the truth.

Li Nianci smiled at this time and said: "You don't know your father, he is a man of his word, I can feel that he is on the way to pick us up!

Li Zhifan looked at the happy look of anticipation on his mother's face, he really felt pity in his heart, he sighed, and finally put on a smiling face and said: "Mother will definitely not lie to me, I will definitely see what kind of father I have when the time comes!"

"You look very similar to your father, it's like carved out of a mold! Your father's surname is Ye, in fact, you should be called Ye Zhifan, but your father said that it is better to have the surname Li, so that you can be protected by the Li family, and you don't have to be like a rootless duckweed like him, but unfortunately when you were not born, the Li family directly drove our mother and son out of the family!"

Li Nianci's face became much colder at this time, she will not forget the suffering she has suffered, although she is not the kind of poisonous woman with a femme fatale, but she will not repay her grievances with virtue, what she wants to fight for is a breath!

"Mother, there has been an undercurrent in the inner city recently, I estimate that something big will happen soon, and I will get back all the things we have lost! I won't disturb your rest, I still have some things to do!"

Li Zhifan knows very well in his heart that only strength can prove everything, Tianxingjian, a gentleman will strive for self-improvement! If you don't work hard, no one will pity you!

Li Nianci nodded, she felt a lot more comfortable after the words in her heart came out, and she smiled and said at this time: "Cultivation is important, but you should also pay attention to your physical health!"

"Don't worry, mother, my son knows what to do!"

Li Zhifan retreated to his room, he was lying on the head of the bed at the moment thinking about what had happened recently, and he did not directly strengthen his equipment.

"Longmen Festival, the Li family is showing goodwill, and the Zhao family is buying weapons, is there any connection here?"

Li Zhifan frowned, the Dragon Gate Festival took place in the imperial capital, tens of thousands of miles away from here, the Li family has not made any movement since the last time they sent gifts, the three elders of the Zhao family went to the bazaar to buy swords in person, if these things are not boring, it is definitely impossible!

It's just that Li Zhifan doesn't know much about the wind and grass outside, so it's futile to think more.

"Forget it, I don't want to, let's honestly strengthen my little ants!" Li Zhifan gave the annihilation ant to his mother, so he had to reserve some more just in case.

In addition, relying only on annihilation ants could not completely reassure Li Zhifan, he decided to strengthen a super weapon to defend himself as soon as possible in the past few days!

Li Zhifan is the kind of person who immediately puts into action when he has an idea, and directly brings in a bunch of swords from the outside to strengthen them overnight!

......

+12 Short Sword Enhancement Failed!

+13 Long Knife Enhancement Failed!

+11 Sword Enhancement Failed!

......

After staying up all night without a single sword advancement, just when Li Zhifan was about to give up and wanted to lie down in bed and sleep directly, he suddenly received a message: +13 Xiaotai Knife has been successfully strengthened!
