Xiao Li looked at Cheng Donglin's surprised gaze, he was not surprised, after all, Xiao Duxue has been rejected and looked down upon in various ways in the Xiao family, and now he said that he would put Xiao Duxue on the throne of the future head of the Xiao family, who would believe it?

Xiao Li smiled indifferently and explained, "I can understand the doubts in your heart, but have you ever thought about why I want to protect Dusk Xue and her mother, in the Xiao family, it can be said that without me, there would be no existence of their mother and daughter." ”

"But in fact, they have suffered a lot of white eyes in the Xiao family." Cheng Donglin questioned.

Xiao Li raised his head and sighed, and said, "Sometimes, suffering is a hero's whetstone, and Twilight's life is not smooth, but isn't that what makes her as good as she is now?" ”

"I grew up watching her, and I saw her eyes with indomitable and perseverance, so I hope she can be sharpened more. As it turned out, she has been growing up brilliantly, and I've been keeping an eye on her, especially since she got to know you, and I can even see how quickly she's growing. ”

Cheng Donglin asked: "Actually, as long as you can be ruthless, Xiao Dutian, Xiao Liuan and others can also be put in the army to experience training." ”

Xiao Li sighed: "I never thought like this, three years ago, Dusk Tian was sent by me to the Sword Special Forces, one of the three major special forces in China, he did live up to his expectations and became a very good soldier, but when he came back, I found more and more that even I couldn't see through him." ”

"The tempering in the army is indeed very beneficial to him, and he has changed a lot, but because he was born in a wealthy family and is used to living a life of intrigue, he has changed on the surface, but his heart is getting deeper and deeper."

Cheng Donglin nodded slightly, this may be the tragedy of being born in a wealthy family.

And hearing Xiao Li say that Xiao Dutian had actually stayed in the sword, this was also a big surprise to him, and the current Xiao Dutian still had the breath of an immortal cultivator, which made Cheng Donglin feel that if Xiao Dutian became Xiao Duxue's opponent, it would definitely be difficult to entangle.

Xiao Li sighed deeply: "This is also the reason why I intend to put Twilight Xue as the head of the family, but you should also know that Twilight is growing up very fast now, but to control the huge Xiao family, she has not yet been able to take charge of this kind of independence, so I really hope that I can live for a few more years!" ”

Cheng Donglin comforted: "Shen Cihang, who is known as the medicine immortal, is here, old lady, you will definitely live for a long time." ”

Xiao Li shook his head, and then slowly lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing a wound on his lower abdomen that seemed to have been eaten away and was stained with bright red blood, which surprised Cheng Donglin at this scene.

"It's poisonous in the wound." Cheng Donglin said immediately.

Xiao Li said: "Yes, the wound is poisonous, this is the attack I encountered when I came back from a visit to an old friend three months ago, three celestial killers, if it weren't for the people around me who used their lives to protect me, now I have reported to Lord Yama." After I came back, I asked Shen Lao to come over, but with his medical skills, he could only help me prolong my life by half a year. ”

"I'm not afraid of death, in fact, at my age, I've seen life and death very openly." Xiao Li's eyes were a little sad, "But I don't want to die, if I die at this time, the Xiao family will be finished, and the people who want to kill me should be the other three families in the four major families, and our Xiao family is full of contradictions, which can be described as internal and external troubles." ”

"So, I don't want to die until I see Twilight really grow."

Looking at Xiao Li's unyielding gaze under his pale face, Cheng Donglin sighed, the rise and fall of a family is inevitable, but looking at the family business that has been fought down by several generations of the family, it is definitely uncomfortable to watch the family decline because there is no one available among the descendants.

Xiao Li continued: "But recently, Lao Shen has an idea, that is, to find the legendary Luan Mu for me, which may remove the poison from my body, and then let me live for more than five years. ”

"Luanmu?" Cheng Donglin looked at Xiao Li in astonishment, isn't that a legendary thing?

Xiao Li said: "As a cultivator, you should know that Luan Muyi said that it came from the Yunyu Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, does this kind of legendary thing exist?" I also expressed doubts about this, but Lao Shen swore that Yunyu Mountain existed, and he had entered Yunyu Mountain, just because he was old like me before he began to contact Xiuzhen, and we were destined to not have much progress in Xiuzhen. ”

"So even though he knows where Yunyu Mountain is, he doesn't have that ability to climb the mountain, because there are too many unknown dangers in the mountain."

Cheng Donglin looked at Xiao Li and said dumbly: "Then if I guess correctly, this is also the reason why you brought me here?" ”

"You are a smart person, I don't need to beat around the bush with you for such a thing, indeed, I lied to you to come here for the sake of Luan Mu's affairs, I hope you promise me to accompany Lao Shen to Yunyu Mountain, and only a powerful existence like you can make this trip a little more hopeful."

Cheng Donglin pondered for a while, if everything was as Xiao Li said, he hoped to cultivate Xiao Duxue to become the future heir of the Xiao family, Cheng Donglin would be willing to help.

Although in his eyes, the words of an old fox like Xiao Li were a bit hanging, at least now he didn't look like he was lying.

Cheng Donglin nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, but I have to bring my two companions." ”

"I'm afraid their cultivation is not enough to deal with that kind of danger, right?" Xiao Li asked in surprise, he was not familiar with Li Qingshan and Song Xiaoman, but he knew that the cultivation of the two was not very high, and following them was not equivalent to sending them to death?

Cheng Donglin said: "In the process of growing up, I was not enough to deal with any danger, but when I experienced and tempered, I found that I became more and more powerful, this is Xiuzhen, if they are unwilling to try because of danger, then they will not be strong for the rest of their lives." ”

Saying this, Cheng Donglin also stood up.

Xiao Li looked up at Cheng Donglin, but unfortunately there is no such person among his descendants, who can know that the Xiao family, which is now like a giant in the eyes of others, can't even find an heir?

Xiao Li said, "Now I'll let someone arrange your trip, and as for Twilight and her mother, you can rest assured that I won't let people disturb them." ”

Cheng Donglin bowed slightly and said, "Then thank you." After speaking, he didn't ask anything more, and turned around and left.
