Chapter Forty-Six: The Powerful Meng Family
Today's Nanqi County seems a little depressed, the sky is covered with thick dark clouds early in the morning, it seems that a heavy rain is coming, of course, it is not only the weather that is depressing, but a major event that is coming.
On the hall of the Li family, the head of the family, Li Daocheng, was walking back and forth restlessly, on the left and right sides, the Great Elder, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and some high-ranking members of the family were all waiting silently, since the Second Elder died suddenly a month ago, the Li family has not been comfortable these days.
"Did Yao'er find it?" asked Li Daocheng.
"Not yet, since Miss entered the Cauchy Mountains yesterday, there has been no news at all. One of the guards replied.
"This Meng family is really becoming more and more rampant, in the past, it was just a small trick in private, but now it dares to attack Yao'er directly, it is too bad to take my Li family seriously. Li Daocheng said angrily.
"What should I do now, if Yao'er is arrested by them, I'm afraid that the Meng family will use this as an excuse to persecute my Li family!" The third elder said worriedly, the current situation is too passive for their Li family.
"The top priority is to find Yao'er, it's been a day, and Yao'er may not be caught by them if you want to come. Li Daocheng analyzed, and then looked at the Grand Elder sitting in the chief, "Great Elder, what do you think?"
"Yao'er must be found, but this is not a problem housekeeper, as long as Miao'er has no news for a day, my Li family will always be in this danger!" said the Great Elder Li Gan helplessly.
"Hey, it's all this stinky boy, I don't know where he went, if he doesn't have any news, I'm afraid Ling Lao won't interfere in the affairs of our two families. Li Daocheng has a bit of hatred for iron and steel, he doesn't run early or late, but he disappeared at this critical juncture, how can this not make him annoyed.
"Bump!"
After a loud bang, the door of the Li family was kicked open, followed by the Meng family.
"Li Daocheng, have you thought about it, should you hand over the things? Or let me pick it up myself?" Meng Tianhu's voice sounded.
"Meng Tianhu, you are too presumptuous, you dare to destroy my mansion. Li Daocheng reprimanded.
"It's just a broken door, why should Brother Li be angry? I'm just here to retrieve what I said before, and I'll retreat when I get it. Meng Tianhu said with a smile, as if he was doing something natural.
"You, you're too rampant, my Li family won't hand it over. Li Daocheng said angrily.
"Oh, Master Li, have you thought about it, don't you want your daughter's life anymore?" Meng Tianhu still didn't change his face, but the threat in his words was even worse.
"Sure enough, it's you, what did you do to my daughter!"
"It depends on how Brother Li chooses, whether he chooses that street market, or your daughter's life. After Meng Tianhu finished speaking, he looked at Li Daocheng, "Anyway, for me, these are just a matter of time, Brother Li, you can choose for yourself." ”
"Meng Tianhu, you are taking advantage of the fire to rob, if it weren't for some trouble in my Li family now, would you dare to do this?" Li Daocheng was furious.
"What's the matter, there is a way, there is a way of heaven, there is reincarnation, before your son was accepted as a disciple by a master, isn't your Li family also crazy? Why can't you say such things now? Meng Tianhu sneered, "Okay, I've already finished what I should say, if you still don't know what to do, then don't blame me for being rude." After speaking, the murderous aura in his eyes became heavier.
This is the world of death and death, the change of dynasties, the rise and fall of the family are inevitable, only strength is the foundation of everything, today the Li family may be annexed because of lack of strength, and tomorrow it will not be the Meng family that will be annexed by other stronger forces.
"Hey, God is dead to my Li family. Li Daocheng lowered his head a little weakly, there is no way to undo it now, the Meng family is already an ultimatum, unless Ling Lao is willing to make a move, otherwise after today, the Li family will definitely become a second-rate family, and if it is not done well, it will even be wiped out.
"I can give you things, but you must let go of my daughter and my Li family. Li Daocheng succumbed, he wanted to keep the Li family, as long as the Li family was still there, there was still hope.
"It's easy to say, as long as you are willing to hand it over, my Meng family will not embarrass you, after all, we have been friends for many years. Seeing that Li Daocheng agreed, Meng Tianhu naturally agreed, but although he said so, I am afraid it is difficult to say what he thinks in his heart, keeping your Li family will be a disaster sooner or later, and Meng Tianhu will definitely gradually eat away at the Li family.
"Wait, Dad, I'm back!" At this moment, Li Yuyao's voice came from outside the door, and Li Daocheng was also taken aback, what is going on, isn't her daughter in the hands of the Meng family?
Outside the door, Li Yuyao rushed in, followed by Luo Lin and an old man, who was Li Miao's master Ling Xuhong.
"What's the matter, what is Zhao Daworm doing, can't a little girl solve it?" Meng Tianhu asked the people behind him with some dissatisfaction, this little girl is back, and the handle in her hand is gone, the key is that Ling Lao also came, Meng Tianhu had some ominous premonitions.
After Li Yuyao and Luo Lin came out of the mountain range, they did not rush to meet the Li family, but took the first step to come to Ling Lao's residence, Ling Xuhong did not live in the Li family, but knew that he lived alone in this place outside the world, he liked to be pure, and did not want to mix with the mundane world of the outside world, which was also a common problem of the spirit master, floating outside the world.
After meeting Ling Lao, Li Yuyao's younger brother Li Miao told him about it, and Luo Lin testified.
"I see, the place of Heavenly Road Trial is an ancient battlefield, no wonder the old man can't guess the location of this kid, thank you for telling me. Regarding Li Yuyao's words, Ling Lao chose to believe it.
"Can Elder Ling solve the disaster in the family? Li Yuyao said her request, Ling Lao naturally knew her purpose, and the Li family had already looked for her several times.
The value of a spiritual master is not only to seek profit and avoid trouble, but more importantly, their connections, no one is idle to provoke a spiritual master, that is the act of looking for death, but generally spiritual masters will not take the initiative to find trouble, after all, their ability is also to spy on the heavens. So it's better to be alone.
"Let's go, since we have accepted Li Miao, then the old man can't completely ignore the affairs of the Li family. In the end, Ling Lao agreed.
So there was the previous scene, Li Yuyao appeared at the Li family with Luo Lin and Ling Lao.
"Yao'er, it's great that you're okay, you've been missing for a day and a night, but your father is terrified. Seeing his daughter appear in front of him alive, Li Daocheng's hanging heart finally let go.
"Dad, Yao'er is fine, thanks to the help of Luo Shaoxia, Yao'er was able to get out of danger. As he spoke, he pulled Luo Lin over.
Li Daocheng glanced at Luo Lin, but he didn't say anything, because he saw Ling Lao on the side, and then he was overjoyed: "Ling Lao, why are you here?"
"Naturally, I came to help the head of the Li family solve the dilemma in front of him. Ling Lao said with a smile.
"Really, thank you so much, you're always willing to help, that's fine. "I heard that Elder Ling was willing to help. Lee almost didn't jump.
And Meng Tianhu's face on the side was gloomy and terrifying, this old immortal didn't expect to come out, something must have happened, and then looked at Li Yuyao and Luo Lin, Meng Tianhu seemed to have found something, this matter is absolutely inseparable from this kid.
"Now that Brother Li's daughter has returned, Brother Fool will take his leave first. Seeing that he couldn't win today, Meng Tianhu chose to withdraw.
"What's the matter, Brother Meng's things don't want anymore?" Li Daocheng was finally able to raise his eyebrows, naturally he was very happy, and asked.
"Where, it was just a joke before, since Ling Lao Du has already arrived, then there is nothing wrong with the foolish brother. Meng Tianhu said with a smile, like the two of them before.
"Then Brother Meng walks slowly, I won't send it. Li Daocheng didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore.
Meng Tianhu looked back at Luo Lin, and the murderous aura in his eyes naturally couldn't escape Luo Lin's perception, "This old thing feels quite accurate, and I can see at a glance that I ruined his good deeds, hey, it's hard to be a good person." Luo Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, since he chose to do it, Luo Lin did not regret it, but Meng Tianhu's eyes made Luo Lin feel more vigilant in his heart, and it seemed that he should be more careful in the future.
Then at the invitation of Li Yuyao, he walked into the inner hall of the Li family.
