"Besides, you are gifted and intelligent, and you have always focused on cultivating your soul without distractions, plus you have a family to escort you, you used to be too smooth, and it is not a good thing to go on like this, you know, things must be reversed, flying high and falling miserably, so it is not bad for you to experience setbacks earlier, the important thing is that you can't be hit by setbacks. ”

Li Mu said earnestly.

For this only remaining son, he naturally attaches more importance than anyone else!

Others don't want Li Tu to be decadent and degenerate, perhaps out of consideration for the family, but he is out of pure fatherly love!

As the so-called Jackie Chan, as a father, everyone hopes that their son can get ahead or make a difference, and no one wants to see their son lose to setbacks and do nothing all his life.

Listening to Li Mu's words, Li Tu's face suddenly showed a hint of shame, and he lowered his head slightly, a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Mu nodded lightly, and then refilled a cup of hot tea for Li Tu with his own hands, and said with a smile:

"As the saying goes, shame and courage, you don't have to feel too guilty and blame yourself, this is not a fault, but a lack of mood, for the father only hopes, after this incident, your state of mind can be sharpened, become more complete and stable, more broad-minded, at the same time, indignant, harder and more diligent cultivation!"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, gently pushed the teacup that had just been filled with hot tea towards Li Tu, and then looked at the latter with a look full of encouragement and expectation.

Li Tu raised his eyelids and stared at the steaming cup of tea tightly, his nose suddenly soured, and his eyes were slightly moist.

He stretched out his right hand and gently rubbed the teacup that seemed to be not hot tea, but hot fatherly love, but had no intention of holding it up.

It wasn't until a long time later that Li Tu took a deep breath, then suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Mu with a firm gaze, and said solemnly:

"Thank you for your father's earnest teachings, for the child to ring a wake-up call, before the child self-assured of some cultivation, is indeed a little carried away, actually forgot that there are people outside the world, but also let their state of mind become fragile, even a little frustration can not withstand the blow, but please rest assured that the father will follow his father's teachings, and he will be ashamed and logistics!"

After speaking, he picked up the teacup, didn't care about the steaming heat on it, and drank it directly!

Seeing this, Li Mu finally nodded with satisfaction and said:

So it is reassuring to be a father. ”

At this time, Li Tu put down the teacup, and then poured a cup of hot tea for Li Mu, and picked it up with both hands and handed it to the latter.

The smile on the latter's face became a little thicker, he reached out and took a sip of the teacup, and then said slowly with emotion:

"One day, our Li family will leave here, and as a leader, you will also spread your wings in a broader sky, the future of the Li family is in your hands, and your future is unlimited!"

Li Tu slowly clenched his fists, his eyes gradually narrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Mu gently put down the teacup and said:

"From today onwards, you don't have to worry about the family's affairs anymore, it's better to concentrate on cultivation, if you need anything, just let your father know, and your father will definitely try his best to do it for you. ”

Li Tu was stunned when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his face, and he said:

"But my father ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Mu wave his hand, interrupted it, and said:

"You have always been committed to cultivation, and you don't care much about family affairs, in the past, when you were here, you let your father go, and you will be trained as the next patriarch, but now, when Zhu'er suffers an accident, your father intentionally or unintentionally sends you some family affairs, why don't you have the intention of letting you sit in the position of patriarch?"

Li Tu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized in his heart.

Since Li Zhu's accident, especially since the Li family began to act against the Zhao Qiu family, he has indeed participated in many family affairs, but he has always thought that it was because Li Zhu's death happened suddenly and the family had insufficient manpower, so Li Mu asked him to help.

Of course, he has no complaints about this.

Even in order to get out as soon as possible, Li Tu also specially helped Li Lu, who was the most promising candidate to become the new patriarch, introduce some other family children, hoping that the latter would be able to take charge as soon as possible.

But he never thought that Li Mu wanted to train him to become the next patriarch like he had cultivated Li Zhu at the beginning!

"But several of your uncles knew that you had no intention of family affairs, so they tacitly pushed your brother Li Lu out, and my father didn't say anything about this, because my father knew that if you took the initiative to stand up one day, they would definitely not object, so my father wanted to test your meaning first. ”

Li Mu continued.

"Father, I ......"

Li Tu was in a complicated mood and was speechless.

On the one hand, it was his father's ardent hope, and on the other hand, it was his life's desire, and he really couldn't choose.

As if seeing Li Tu's embarrassment, Li Mu waved his hand again, interrupted it with a smile, and said:

"But now that the Father has thought it through, it is true that your future is not in this regard. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed slightly, his eyes suddenly turned, looked at the door of the hall, and then passed through the door, looking at the corner of the sky outside the door, and muttered with some emotion, some sadness, and some yearning:

"Your Future...... Maybe like your grandfather, live behind the scenes and be the eternal patron saint of the Li family......"

"The Li family...... Eternal Patron Saint......"

Li Tu also subconsciously raised his gaze, followed Li Mu's line of sight and looked out of the door, muttering to himself.

After being silent for a moment, Li Mu suddenly smiled, then shook his head a little lonely, slowly withdrew his gaze, and then said:

"In this case, you need to have unparalleled strength, so from now on, you can concentrate on cultivation, and you don't interfere in everything in your family. ”

Hearing this, Li Tu also came back to his senses instantly, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitating, he finally nodded and responded:

"It's the father, the child will definitely work hard to cultivate, and then ...... Forever guarding the Li family!"

As he spoke, his fists clenched tightly.

Li Mu nodded lightly and said:

"Well, if there is nothing else to do, you can go down too, Li Qiang's death is too sudden, and there are some things that I have to think about carefully for my father. ”

At the end, I don't know if I thought of something, Li Mu suddenly frowned and muttered:

"I always feel like I'm missing something. ”

Seeing this scene, Li Tu, who had just gotten up and was about to retire, couldn't help but stagnate, frowned, and then his heart moved, and he couldn't help but remind:

"Is my father thinking about the task of Li Qiang and others?"

"Nice!

Li Mu suddenly got up, an anxious look instantly appeared on his face, and he said subconsciously.

Then, as if suddenly aware of his gaffe, he slowly sat back in his chair, took a sip of his teacup in a bit of distraction, and then muttered:

"It's a mission, I was thinking about the murderer before, and I forgot that Li Qiang and the others had a mission!"

As for Li Mu's anxious and overly aggressive reaction, Li Tu was obviously a little puzzled, so he frowned and said:

"At best, the mission failed, and the people who wanted to kill were not killed, why was my father so anxious and nervous?"

"You don't know ......"

Li Mu shook his head, and then sighed.

But he stopped suddenly before he finished speaking, probably thinking that he had just said that he would no longer let Li Tu interfere in family affairs, so he changed his words and said again:

"Let my father think about this matter carefully, you go down first. ”

Li Tu was helpless in his heart, so he had no choice but to say:

"Yes, father. ”

After speaking, his feet moved slightly, and he was ready to leave.

But at this moment, a hurried and unprepared person suddenly broke in from outside.

Before entering the hall, the man's voice sounded outside the door:

"Patriarch, my subordinates have something important to report!"

When the words landed, this person was already kneeling in front of Li Mu.

Seeing this, Li Tu couldn't help frowning, and the footsteps he had just raised subconsciously put down, and then stood silently in place, motionless.

Li Mu glanced at him, and then coughed lightly:

"Ahem!"

The person who came didn't know why, couldn't help but raise his head, and looked at the father and son in front of him in a daze.

And Li Tu came back to his senses in an instant, and quickly bowed slightly to Li Mu, and then raised his steps and left the meeting hall.

When the visitor saw this, he was even more confused.

But at this moment, as Li Tu's figure gradually disappeared at the door of the hall, Li Mu's slightly anxious voice suddenly sounded:

"Tell me, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with the Fang Market in Dongxin Lane?"

When the person heard this, he quickly threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart and replied:

"Patriarch Hui, exactly. ”

Li Mu "chuckled" in his heart, and said hurriedly:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The person who came lowered his head slightly, subconsciously stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, then swallowed his saliva, and then quickly said:

"Patriarch, the person who was ordered to go to Dongxin Xiangfang City to destroy is suspected of being ambushed by the Qiu family, and everyone has no survivors, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid something has happened!"

"Sure enough......"

Hearing this, Li Mu's face was suddenly sluggish.

Just after Li Tu's reminder, he suddenly remembered that the dead Li Qiang had a task in his body!

And not only that, whether Li Qiang and others fail or not is also related to whether another task can be successful!

And the key problem is that the other task also involves the lives of more than a dozen members of the Li family!

The reason why Li Mu was anxious just now was because he was worried about the accident that Li Qiang and the others had encountered, whether it would have caused the previous task to fail, thus implicating the next task!

Now it seems that it is!

"Failed...... Both missions failed...... Nearly 20 lives were ......lost!

Li Mu leaned on the back of his chair a little dejectedly, and muttered in his heart.
