Chapter 54 The Truth

"I spared you at the beginning, but you still dare to make irresponsible remarks behind your back?" Li Yi said coldly.

Zhang Cheng showed a look of resentment on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "You made me lose face at the beginning, I should have expected that there would be today!"

Li Tiancheng said: "Let's open the skylight and say something, I can no longer pursue the past matters, as long as you are willing to say that secret method!"

Ever since he lost to Li Yi in the outer door competition, he has never understood why Li Yi's strength has improved so quickly, and under the investigation, he got the truth from Zhang Cheng's mouth.

"If I want to leave, you people can stop me?" Li Yi was not afraid.

"Then add me!"

Suddenly, there was a voice like a bell in the distance, a burly middle-aged man, floating in, it was the previous head of the Li family, Li Zhengxiong, with a wave of his big sleeves, a strong wind vibrated out.

Li Yi's face changed, and he blurted out: "Daddy......"

Li Zhengxiong glared and said: "The Li family has raised you for so many years, as a child of the Li family, have you ever made a contribution to the Li family? Since you have a secret method, that is your best opportunity to contribute to the Li family, why do you still push back?"

Li Yi was angry and said: "Since I was a child, how can anyone in the Li family really care about my life or death? Even you, who also ignore me, I can have today by myself!"

"Presumptuous!" Li Zhengxiong shouted, "You have eaten and lived since you were a child, aren't you the Li family's things? If you really don't care about your life or death, how can you live to this day? Hand over the secret method, and the past will not be mentioned again, from now on, you will assist your brother with your heart and strengthen the Li family together!"

Li Yi was silent for a while, but did not answer, but said: "Do you remember, today is my mother's death day?

Li Zhengxiong looked stunned.

Li Tiancheng said: "Father is busy every day, how can you have spare time to come to such a ghost place? As a son of man, you should try to solve problems for your father!"

"Hmph!" Li Yi sneered, "Since it's a ghost place, why do you want to bury my mother here?" After a pause, he glanced at Li Tiancheng again, and said, "When I was young, I was bullied by him a lot, not to mention that he is now a defeated general under me, what qualifications do you have for me to assist him?"

Li Zhengxiong said in a deep voice: "I've said all my good things, don't force me to do it!"

As soon as the words fell, a hoarse voice suddenly came from a distance: "It's long overdue, it's still procrastinating, do you want to rebel?"

Hearing this voice, Li Zhengxiong's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he turned his head to look, only to see a slender old man and a young man strolling over.

Li Yi's heart sank.

That young man was Gu Yun who had disappeared for nearly three months.

"I'm afraid the situation is a little bad now, I didn't expect trouble to come to the door at the same time!" Li Yi frowned, thinking about how to deal with it.

The old man gave him a very depressed feeling, on the surface, the old man did not seem to be unusual, but the more so, the more unfathomable it became.

"It seems that Gu Yun has gone to ask for helpers these days, this old man is not easy to deal with!" Li Yi thought secretly.

"Little Wangye, Steward Chen, why are you two free to come here?" Li Zhengxiong's face changed, and he stepped forward and bowed down and said, with a hint of fear in his tone.

Li Tiancheng and the others didn't recognize the two, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Li Zhengxiong's reaction.

You must know that Li Zhengxiong is a dominant figure in Lingzhou, even in front of the Immortal Academy, he will not grovel so much.

"En?" Li Yi was also surprised, he was surprised not because of Gu Yun's identity, but because Li Zhengxiong actually recognized Gu Yun and the old man, it stands to reason that there should be no intersection between the two sides.

Steward Chen said in a hoarse voice: "I heard the young master say, your Li family is plotting against each other and intends to rebel, is there really such a thing?"

Li Zhengxiong hurriedly said: "Where do you start with this? Although the Li family has a small foundation in Lingzhou, compared with the Zhennan Palace, it is a drop in the bucket.

"Zhennan Palace!" Hearing these three words, Li Yi frowned slightly, although he had already expected that Gu Yun was a child of the royal family, but he did not expect that he was actually the young master of Zhennan Palace.

The three states in the southern region, Lingzhou, Yanzhou, Pingzhou, Lingzhou is among the three states, it is only the smallest state, the power of the Li family is limited to Lingzhou, and the Zhennan Wangfu governs the three states, and the power is far from being comparable to the Li family.

A steward of the Zhennan Royal Mansion is enough to make the Li family look up.

Steward Chen said: "Since there is no objection, why did Zongzi commit murder and injure the young master of my family?"

Li Zhengxiong paused for a moment, then glared at Li Yi and shouted, "Son, is it you who caused the trouble?"

Li Yi was silent.

Seeing this scene, the Li family was in an uproar, the Zhennan Wangfu was entrenched in Sanzhou, and its prestige was like thunder, but I didn't expect Li Yi to provoke such a powerful opponent for the Li family, and they all glared at Li Yi angrily.

"Back then, you married the daughter of that criminal minister and gave birth to such a son, you should be honest and restrain him, and now that the palace is angry, how do you explain?" Steward Chen said slowly.

Without waiting for Li Zhengxiong to answer, Li Yi took the lead in speaking: "The daughter of the criminal minister, what is going on?"

"Oh, so he doesn't know yet!" said Steward Chen, "then take this opportunity to make everything clear." ”

Li Zhengxiong didn't dare to disobey, so he had to say to Li Yi: "Haven't you always wanted to know your mother's identity, I'll tell you now, her surname is Gu!"

"What?" Li Yi was taken aback, suddenly remembered what Gu Yun had said, looked at Gu Yun, and said, "When you said my true identity, did you mean this?"

Gu Yun sneered and said: "Yes, your mother is indeed from the royal family, but your family has made a big mistake and angered the imperial court, most of them have been killed, and the rest are also degraded to commoners, and your mother is one of them!"

Li Yi's heart was turbulent and he felt unbelievable, he never thought that he would have something to do with the royal family, but when he thought about it, everything seemed reasonable.

Including after his mother's death, he was not allowed to be buried in the Li family cemetery, and he was not valued by the Li family since he was a child, and he was suppressed in every way, obviously the Li family was jealous, but in this way, there is still a question.

"In that case, then why did you marry my mother back then?" asked Li Yichao Li Zhengxiong.

Li Zhengxiong snorted coldly and did not answer.

Gu Yun said lightly: "He has a ghost in his heart, let me help him say it, the so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although your mother's vein is destroyed, it also retains a little royal heritage, and the Li family is greedy for that little royal heritage, so they choose to take the risk of accepting your mother!"

Li Yi was speechless in a daze, and suddenly remembered that Li Tiancheng's heavy water true qi was formed by refining a drop of ancient heavy water, and others used to say that that drop of ancient heavy water was the family inheritance of the Li family, but there were also many people who didn't believe it, and felt that with the heritage of the Li family, it was impossible to have such a powerful inheritance, and the vice president was one of them.

Thinking about it now, it seems that everything makes sense.

"That drop of ancient heavy water was also taken from my mother?"

Li Zhengxiong's face turned pale and said: "She married into the Li family, those things are dowry, which she willingly handed over, how can it be said that she took it?"

Li Yi was furious, although he was also dissatisfied with Li Zhengxiong before, he still regarded him as his father and retained a little respect for him, but now, that respect has completely disappeared, and only hatred remains.

Li Zhengxiong's quibbles seemed too pale and powerless in his opinion, and it was impossible for anyone in the world to take such treasures as ancient heavy water as a dowry, especially after his mother gave birth to him, she would definitely leave something for him to help him grow up, but since he was a child, he has never seen anything.

Those treasures that should have belonged to him were almost all used on Li Tiancheng, which was also the reason why Li Tiancheng was able to make a name for himself in the Immortal Academy, if it wasn't for Li Yi's luck to get the ancient magic skill of demon refining, it would have taken decades to catch up with Li Tiancheng.

"Okay, the truth has been revealed, Master Li, you have to give an explanation today!" Steward Chen said.
