Chapter 18: Thoughts Before Departure

"The third of the nine swords in the world, Mo Yao Tianwen - the shadow is traceless. ”

Li Jiahao's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Li Qingming to actually take out the legendary peerless nine swords, one of them, and the long-lost shadow without a trace.

Li Jiahao asked: "Sect Elder, how can there be a long-lost peerless sword Shadow Without a Trace in this family? I remember that in a book introducing the nine swords in the world, this sword was mentioned, and the owner of Shadow Without a Trace used to be the most prestigious swordsman on the continent, and he used the Shadowless Sword Mana to defeat countless warriors in the continent, but it was a pity that he fought with the strongest man in the continent at the top of Qinchuan in order to be loyal and good, and his whereabouts are unknown so far, how did this fall into the hands of our family?"

Li Qingming looked down at this shadow without a trace, his eyes were sad, and he said alone: "This sword is actually not the family's, but the sword of my deceased." ”

Li Jiahao's eyes froze: "The sword of the old man of the sect?"

Li Qingming gently stroked the spine of the sword with his hand, "That's right, this sword was entrusted to me by the deceased when he was dying, but it's a pity that my swordsmanship talent is too low, and Shadow Without a Trace needs not only a unique understanding of swordsmanship, but also a realm of human and sword integration, both of which are indispensable, but unfortunately I have never touched the realm of human sword unity in my sword practice all my life, and I can't exert the true strength of Shadow Without a Trace, so I have been collecting it in the Ring of Space." ”

Li Qingming's right hand holding the sword danced a sword flower beautifully in the air, and the scabbard of his left hand flicked lightly, bringing the shadow into it, and the faint chill in the air gradually dissipated as the shadow entered the sheath.

"Jiahao Xiaoyou, I don't know, in fact, since you were four years old, I have paid attention to your every move in the family, with the inheritance of the mandate of heaven, so that you are blessed with unique achievements in exercises, you were exposed to the Mingyue swordsmanship when you were 9 years old, and the swordsmanship foundation is not deep, but in less than three months, you can dance the Mingyue swordsmanship out of a rough way, it really amazes me, maybe you may be the best successor of the shadowless swordsmanship. Saying that, Li Qingming held the sword in both hands and handed it to Li Jiahao.

It is impossible to say that Li Jiahao is not nervous now, this is the nine swords in the world, one of the most legendary swords in the Taiya Continent, carefully took it, put his hand on the hilt, and a cold feeling came from it, and a soft energy in the hilt of the sword was directly transmitted to the hand and blended with the shadow energy in Li Jiahao's body, like dry wood touching fire, and the shadow without a trace instantly emitted a faint sword sound, and an ink-colored air flow flowed out of the scabbard, directly wrapping Li Jiahao's right hand holding the sword。

Li Qingming was also shocked by the scene in front of him and said: "This, this is a weapon possession!!

Li Jiahao also felt a lot at this time, and the black dragon thorn that he used as a weapon, after the strange energy of Shadow Without a Trace fused, directly broke out of his control, and was absorbed by the Shadow Without a Trace in his hand, at the same time of absorption, a weak spiritual connection began to appear in Li Jiahao's mind, and it seemed that some information came from the Shadow Without a Trace Sword, but because the connection was unstable and too weak, Li Jiahao did not know what news Shadow Without a Trace had passed on to him.

"Hahaha, self-confession, yes, yes, it seems that I didn't choose the wrong successor for this shadow without a trace. After Li Qingming was shocked, he was also very happy to see that Ying Wuxian chose his own master, and finally completed the trust of his old friend after so many years.

"Thank you for the treasure, Jia Hao will live up to the expectations of the elder. Li Jiahao also understood at this moment that with a shadow without a trace, the cultivation he was about to start in the future also had a direction.

"It's okay, little friend Jiahao, I'm relieved to have this weapon in my hand, but I look forward to whether I can regain the prestige of Shadow Without a Trace on the mainland in the future. It's not too early, you've had enough time with me, you can go out and go down the path, the patriarch and your mother are waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain. ”

"Father and mother!!" Li Jiahao heard Li Qingming talk about Li Xing and Gui Xiyan, and his expression moved, and his thoughts immediately flew to the foot of the mountain, he hadn't seen his parents for more than a year, he had escaped the trial, and he could finally return to the arms of his parents.

Seeing Li Jiahao's expression, Li Qingming naturally knew what he was thinking, "Go quickly, don't let the patriarch wait for them." ”

"Thank you, Elder Zong, I will come back to visit him one day. After speaking, Li Jiahao bowed and saluted, put the shadow without a trace into the space ring first, turned his head and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

Early in the morning, Li Xing, who was originally handling official business in the study, suddenly received a message from Li Qingming, saying that his youngest son had successfully passed the Five Elements Trial. After hearing this, the big stone in Li Xing's heart was also put down, for more than a year, Li Xing rarely took the initiative to go to Li Qingming to ask about his youngest son's situation in the big array, he was afraid that one day he would really hear the most sad answer, and finally let his youngest son break through.

Gui Xiyan Zhi from the last time Li Jiahao went up the mountain alone to break into battle, under her unremitting efforts to ask, finally knew the truth from Li Xing's mouth, but to Li Xing's great surprise, after Gui Xiyan knew the truth, he was not as fragile as he imagined, but was proud of his youngest son, no mother did not want her son to become a talent, Jiahao was selected by the illusion as the son of inheritance, which also made Gui Xiyan feel that it was the talent that his youngest son should have, but he was quite confident in Li Jiahao's breakthrough.

At this time, Li Xing and Gui Xiyan at the foot of the mountain were a little anxious in front of the main hall of the Sect Old Hall, waiting for Li Jiahao to return.

"Li Xing, why haven't you seen Hao'er go down the mountain for so long? Are you bluffing me" Gui Xiyan was also very happy to know that his son was out of the battle, but he couldn't help but sit still when he couldn't see Li Jiahao's figure for a long time, and began to walk three circles left and three circles to the right.

"Xiyan, don't go, my head is dizzy from you, Li Qingming sent me a message early this morning, that's still fake, the family can pick another treasure and take it out of the Treasure Pavilion if you succeed in the formation, maybe Hao'er is going to choose something and forget the time." Li Xing sat on the side and kept drinking tea, and the tea in the cup was already dull and tasteless after a few rounds, but Li Xing didn't care at all.

It was almost noon, and finally a figure appeared on the mountain road behind the mountain, and ran towards the old hall at the foot of the mountain at a very fast speed.

"Father, mother, Hao'er wants you to die!" As soon as he arrived at the main hall, Li Jiahao saw his parents who were waiting in the hall at this time and were a little impatient, and jumped up and hugged his parents tightly.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, Hao'er, you didn't disappoint me, otherwise I would have to spend the rest of my life in regret. Li Xing looked at Li Jiahao, who had grown much taller, and said with a smile.

"Hao'er, don't listen to your father, you have been gone for a year, I think he is happy. Let me see, people have lost weight and grown taller, today my mother will cook for you personally and make you delicious food. Gui Xiyan pulled his son, who hadn't seen him for a year, to look left, and to the right, his eyes were quite distressed.

Li Jiahao returned home, and he also felt a lot of emotion, he was alone in the Five Elements Great Array, helpless in danger, not a temporary move by the Phantom Senior, I am afraid it will really be explained inside, think about it, it is still the warmest at home.

After returning home for a few days, everything at home was still as usual, but what Li Jiahao missed the most was Qin Muxue, who had not been in contact before, and Nan Wanrou, who had not spoken for a long time.

Li Jiahao stayed at home to accompany his mother for a few days, making up for the previous farewell, tangled for half a morning, and finally made up his mind to go to Nanfu to find Nan Wanrou first.

After lunch, Li Jiahao didn't mention it to anyone, and sneaked out of the back door of the compound with a shadow on his back, and ran directly towards the Nanfu mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of Nanfu, a few guards saw Li Jiahao with a long sword on his back, and one of the leaders hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Hello Li Gongzi, when did you come back, I heard Master Li say that you went out to practice in advance for admission." ”

Li Jiahao naturally knew that this was his father's excuse for himself to pass the Five Elements Trial, and he said to the little guy unambiguously: "I just came back a few days, I don't know if Wan Wan is in the house now?"

When the little guy heard Li Jiahao ask about Nan Wanrou, she also frowned, "Li Gongzi has been out for almost a year, you don't know, the eldest lady is no longer in Canglan City." ”

Li Jiahao frowned when he heard that Nan Wanrou was no longer in Canglan City, "Not in Canglan City?"

Seeing Li Jiahao's frowns, the little guy also secretly said that it was not good: "This ...... Li Gongzi, the eldest lady of our family left Canglan City as early as the spring of last year. ”

Li Jiahao saw that the little guy in front of him was hesitant, and his heart sank and asked: "Wan Wan will never leave Canglan City by herself, do you tell me if there is any secret?" Tell me the truth." ”

Seeing that Li Jiahao's face changed, the little guy knew that there was nothing he could do, so he said honestly: "Li Gongzi, let me tell you this, don't say that I passed it on, otherwise my life will be difficult to protect." ”

Seeing Li Jiahao's head, the little guy continued: "This matter is actually quite simple, mainly because the characters are not ordinary, you also know that Li Gongzi on the Donglin Festival last year is to recruit relatives for the three princesses of our empire, and finally your third brother won the first place, which is naturally a happy thing, so His Majesty sent the four princes and the seventh prince to congratulate." This reception work is naturally done by my master, but I don't want to fall in love with my young lady at first sight at the reception dinner, but my young lady Li Gongzi you also know, usually ignore outsiders, which makes the seventh prince very annoyed, and finally the night before the four princes they left, the seventh prince didn't know what to say to my master, and the next day he forcibly let my young lady go back to Kyoto with the convoy. ”

Li Jiahao also thought for a moment after listening to what the little girl said, so Wan Wan was forcibly taken away from Canglan City, but the seven princes like Wan Wan and will naturally protect her, but ...... Thinking that Wan Wan was taken away by the Seventh Prince, Li Jiahao was still unhappy in his heart, how could anyone be so barbaric, he was still a royal noble.

Li Jiahao shook his head, and said secretly with some worry in his heart: "In a few days, I will also leave for Kyoto, and I can also stop by to see Wan Wan, I hope she is fine." ”

Seeing Li Jiahao standing in front of the door and not leaving, the little guy thought that he wanted to make some outrageous moves, and his heart was also secretly trembling, after all, who in Canglan City didn't know that Li Jiahao and Nan Wanrou were a natural pair, and now they were forcibly sent away by their own master, they must be unhappy, and asked in a whisper: "............ Gongzi Li"

Li Jiahao was interrupted by this little guy, and smiled at him: "Don't be nervous, I'm not the kind of person who makes trouble unreasonably, since Uncle Nan asked Wan Wan to go to Kyoto, he naturally has his plans, so I won't bother anymore." Saying that, Li Jiahao turned around and walked away without looking back.

Seeing this scene, the little guy panicked in his heart, the more Li Jiahao didn't squeak, the more he was afraid and hurriedly ran into the Nanfu and asked to see Nan Batian.

Nan Batian, who was handling official business in the public house, listened to the report of the little guy just now, his eyes sank, and he asked in a low voice: "Then Li Jiahao left without saying anything?"

The little gatekeeper replied tremblingly in front of Nan Batian at this time: "Yes, family master, then Li Jiahao also smiled at me. ”

Sitting on the throne, Nan Batian, his hand slowly tapped on the table and thought about something, and said to the little guy: "Go to the torture room to get 50 sticks yourself, I have issued a strict order not to announce it at this time, you are still so good to mention to the Li family, see that you have served my Nan family for many years, I will not kill you, and get out of Canglan City after receiving the punishment." ”

The little guy bowed his head directly and said, "Thank you, thank you, master." He then exited the room.

At this time, Nan Batian, who was in the public house, looked at a white wall and said, "What do you think, Yuntian?"

The white wall quietly surfaced a human face and said to Nan Batian: "With such a heart, this son can't stay." ”

"Hmph, I know, Canglan Li family, hehe, Li Jiahao. Nan Batian's eyes were gloomy and he muttered.

At this time, Li Jiahao was walking on the street, thinking about the previous little words, if he hadn't met Qin Muxue, then Li Jiahao would definitely burst out of his dissatisfaction with Nan Batian, but after kissing in the snow when Qin Muxue parted, Li Jiahao himself was also confused, what was his attitude towards Nan Wanrou, but the most important thing was to find out whether Wan Wan had been hurt by the Seven Princes this year.

"It seems that I have to speed up my trip to Kyoto, otherwise it will be too late. Li Jiahao thought about it for a while and made up his mind in his heart.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but speed up my pace, came to the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce, and hurriedly walked to the front desk: "Hello, may I ask if there is a personal letter sent to the Canglan Li family." ”

The counter attendant was also stunned when he saw Li Jiahao, and then said, "Wait a minute, I'll help you find it." After a while, the attendant looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, we don't have a personal letter to be delivered to Canglan Li's house yet." ”

"You help me check, didn't you have a single one last year?" Li Jiahao didn't give up, maybe they sent it to the Li family in advance.

"I'm sorry, except for some normal official documents, there is no personal letter that needs to be sent to the Canglan Li family. The squire said again.

Li Jiahao's face darkened when he saw the attendant say this, and he walked out of the lobby of the Chamber of Commerce without saying a word.

"It's strange, Mu Xue obviously told me that she would send me a letter, but there has been no news for almost a year. Li Jiahao was irritable at this time, Nan Wanrou was forcibly taken away, and there was no news after Qin Muxue went back, which made Li Jiahao feel quite depressed.

"Alas, forget it, Mu Xue has her sister here, as long as she doesn't come around like before, it shouldn't be a big problem, it's just Wanwan...... Let's hope nothing happens. Li Jiahao was most worried about Nan Wanrou who had been taken away by the Seventh Prince for a year at this time.

Back home, Li Jiahao walked directly to the study without waiting for a moment, he knew that his father must be working in the study at this time.

I knocked on the door and heard my father's voice of promise and walked into the room.

"Did you kid go to Nan's house to find that little girl?" asked Li Xing with a smile.

Li Jiahao nodded, "Father, Wan Wan was forcibly taken away by the Seventh Prince, do you know about this?"

"Hehe, of course I know, in the past year, Nanba Tian has been making small and medium-sized moves in the dark, he thinks I don't know, he really underestimated my Li family's foundation in Canglan City for hundreds of years. Li Xing said with a smile.

"That father, she ......

"It's okay, the Seventh Prince also really likes her, and he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary to her in the past year, but the Seventh Prince has been very close to Nan Batian recently, which makes me a little worried, so let's do it, you are going to Kyoto these days, so help me visit your Uncle Jinming by the way." Li Xing said.

"Yes, father. I'm ready to leave tomorrow. Li Jiahao said to Li Xing.

"It's so early, but it's okay, it's okay to be early or late, you can accompany your mother tonight, this trip is estimated to be another year to see each other." Li Xing pondered for a while, but still agreed.

(The undercurrent of the mainland is surging, our Xiao Jiahao is about to leave Canglan City and go to the broader world, why Mu Xue has not heard from him for a long time, what entanglement will happen between the Seven Princes and Xiao Jiahao, and what kind of consequences will Nan Batian's secret actions bring to the Li family, and the chapter of Mojian's interrogation family is over.) Tomorrow's strife is coming. Ask for attention, ask for recommended votes, ask for collections. οΌ‰
