When the sky was bright, Li Li came to take care of Jinyunlan's injury, and saw Li Yi sitting quietly beside her, holding her hand, without saying a word, and her eyes of different colors were full of softness and hope.

Such a peaceful and innocent little gardenia has rarely been there since he held the Li greedy sword, and now when he sees it at first glance, people can't take their eyes off it, and they can't help but be happy for him.

His mind was clearly much more open.

She sneaked into the room in a soft voice, gently recalling his thoughts, "Gardenia, the hour is almost up, it's time for you to leave." I'll take care of her. ”

Li Yi looked at Jinyunlan's calm eyebrows and eyes, and bowed slightly. He gently tucked her hand under the quilt, and turned to Li Li, who had taken over, with a pleasing look.

Li Li nodded calmly and watched him leave the door.

Today is a big day, and Li Yi will go to Los Angeles to negotiate with Jinyun on behalf of the entire Li family.

In order to show his sincerity, Li Yi changed out of Li's clothes and put on a birthday gift given to him by Jin Yunlan. She could not have imagined that this garment would one day come in handy on such an occasion.

When he went out, he collided with Li Qiang who was rushing head-on, and the little girl didn't stand still with short legs, fell backwards, and sat on the ground with her buttocks.

Li Yi hurriedly helped her up and patted the dust on her body for her.

It was rare for Li Qiang to see such a fresh image of him, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

The white double-petaled gardenia embroidery pattern is painstakingly made by skilled craftsmen, blooming on the night sea, and the dark blue water washes the white petals, adding a layer of calm and tranquil tranquility to it. It seems that he is handsome and elegant, and he also exudes a vigorous and energetic spirit.

Li Qiang applauded happily and praised unabashedly: "Brother Xiao Gardenia, you look so good in this dress, you live like a fairy descending to earth." ”

Li Yi was shy by this, thinking that it was fortunate that these words did not come from the mouth of Jinyunlan, otherwise he would definitely be even more uneasy. He looked embarrassed, and poked Li Qiang's soft forehead embarrassedly, "Flim tongue." ”

Li Tang stepped forward with Li Greed's sword, helped him carry the sword on his back, and asked worriedly, "Do you really need me to accompany you?" ”

Li Yan shook his head, "It's enough for you to take care of the clansmen for me." ”

Before leaving, he knocked on his mother's door and whispered, "Mother, I'm going down the mountain." ”

A gentle female voice came from inside, "Go early and return early." ”

He smiled slightly.

"Yes."

Under the worried eyes of the clansmen, the young patriarch of the Li clan embarked on the road down the mountain.

Empty Mountain is only six miles away from the Yinxiu Avenue in Los Angeles. He walked quickly, and in a short time he stepped on the beginning of the avenue in the colorful morning glow.

The bustling morning market is just around the corner, and the bustling streets of this bustling street discourage this young man who has lived in the deserted mountains for a long time.

He had been isolated from the world for too long, and for the first time he carefully examined the crowded scene, like a dense colony of ants coming out in groups, and his heart was furious, and his face was a little pale.

For the two days, the city gates were closed, and the people only went out once in the morning to buy food and clothing, and did not go out to wander around again.

Li Yi happened to encounter the hottest time of the day. He was pushed by the crowd into an even more crowded crowd, and he struggled to walk in the tight flow of people.

It was not easy to squeeze out of this bustle, and came to the front of a store that had not yet opened to catch his breath.

The door of the bookstore behind him suddenly opened, and Zhuzhu, who was watching the store, took a look at him without warning, and after seeing his face clearly, she was stunned.

Li Yi straightened his waist, gave her a strange look, and walked away silently.

After a long time, Zhu Zhu came back to his senses from his distant back, and sighed stupidly: "Good girl, when did such a beautiful man come to Los Angeles." If this is shown to the girls in our city, it must not be crazy. Speaking of which, I don't know what happened to Xiaolan's girl. I can't help either, it's so worrying......" she sighed and turned back into the house.

Li Yi walked along the stalls on the street, clinging to the walls, all the way towards the Jinyun Ancestral Hall.

At that time, the patriarch was presiding over the morning meeting, and last night's plan failed, and the amazing strength displayed by the Li clan caused their confidence to plummet. At the moment, everyone is depressed and listless.

Especially Jinyun Chong, who stood with a black face all morning. He couldn't figure out how the Great Elder had sealed Jinyun Lan's power ninety percent, and how she could still show such a strong ability under such circumstances. Could it be that she deliberately played a conspiracy, and all the previous weaknesses were her disguises?

And that Li Clan, Jiaolong going to sea is incredible, is that a realm that mortals can cultivate? If the flesh is mortal, it can do this. So what is he, what has he gained for so many years of hard work day and night?

Jokes?

He unconsciously clenched his fists, and went crazy with jealousy among a group of disgraced disciples.

The Great Elder impartially fixed his gaze on his unkind countenance, his eyes flashing with confusion and doubt.

He quickly swept over everyone's faces, finally focusing on the patriarch. His unusual behavior last night made him suspicious. Let him unconsciously doubt that he actually knew it in his heart.

At this moment, the patriarch rested on the table with one hand, and his five fingers took turns to beat on the ash solid wood table, and the other palm was hidden under the table, holding his trembling knees, as if waiting for something.

Just as the Great Elder was about to open his mouth to ask about the Jingwei, the little disciple knocked on the door and entered the house to pass the message: "The patriarch of the Li clan is visiting. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was immediately filled with whispers.

"Please." The patriarch was busy.

The Great Elder quietly looked at the Patriarch's excited expression, and found that his knees were shaking unconsciously and stopped.

Li Yi was invited directly into the conference hall, and all the elders moved their seats one after another, leaving him a place to face the patriarch and the most direct one.

Li Yi sat down unceremoniously and occupied a place on Jinyun's turf.

All the disciples involved in the assassination plan last night were deeply hostile to the Li clan patriarch who was able to release the dragon out of thin air. Although Li Yi's face was so pleasing to the eye, they couldn't resist the fear and vigilance in their hearts about him.

Jin Yunchong was especially hostile to him, and he gritted his teeth from time to time, as if he was biting at his bones and blood.

A dangerous and urgent atmosphere rises in the room, raising everyone's hearts. The thin air of the early morning was quickly divided in this empty and compact place, and people could not breathe.

I don't know how long it took, but the patriarch broke the strange atmosphere with a pleasant face. His attitude has always been humble and polite, not making people feel unhappy in the slightest, "I don't know what is the purpose of the Li clan leader's coming?" ”

Li Yu stood up and touched the sword behind him with his hand.

His move undoubtedly sounded the alarm of everyone present, and they all entered a state of alert and took a defensive posture.

However, Li Yi's next actions and words stunned everyone.

He untied the Li greedy sword behind his back, offered it with both hands, bowed his head and said sincerely: "The one hundred and fifty-six members of the Li clan are willing to surrender to Jinyun and are willing to dedicate all the strength of our clan. ”

No one understands that in the confrontation last night, Li Shi deterred Jinyun with absolute strength, but on the second day, they gave up their good momentum and bowed to Jinyun.

There is only one reason to explain it, to try to see the dagger and pretend to surrender.

After Li Yi was invited to rest in the courtyard, the originally lifeless morning meeting suddenly came alive, and one by one they rushed to remind the patriarch to be careful of Li Clan's abnormal behavior, and not to believe his hypocrisy.

The patriarch was silent for a moment, looking at the elders. The elders were not like the young disciples, they were very calm, and they were suspicious of the Li family's surrender, not all of them.

"I don't think so. Jinyun is the time to employ people, if the Li clan can join, not only can the internal problems be successfully solved, but also greatly enrich Jinyun's military strength, so that we can compete with the Fuguang clan, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

This obviously touched the patriarch's heart, and he hurriedly took one, "It makes sense!" ”

However, the Great Elder represents the most common opinion of the public, "The Li clan came to surrender to Cheng with unclear intentions and ill intentions. I'm afraid that he didn't mean it sincerely, and that he might be trying to break into Jinyun so that he could hit us at the right point. ”

An elder said: "Not necessarily, the Li people are not prosperous, and no matter how strong their personal strength is, they can't compete with the Jinyun people. They probably also took this into account, so they had to give up their dignity and bow to us. ”

Wouldn't that show that they are not sincere, but are just in adversity and have to do it. If he is strong and strong, I am afraid that he will immediately rise up and rebel, and he will be ashamed and harm us. Jinyun Chong saw that the wind direction was deflected, and immediately spoke out against it.

The elder replied, "There are only one hundred and fifty-six members of the Li clan, and they only have a lifespan of thirty years. Besides, I think Li Shi has a lot of trust in Jinyunlan. He also mentioned just now that everything is based on the condition that Jinyun Lan will be the next patriarch. ”

Another elder chimed in: "It's not too much of a loss to exchange the position of a patriarch for the sincerity of the Li clan. What's more, Jinyunlan does have the talent to take on great responsibilities, and can kneel down in front of the people to make a statement, which is very human. Today's scene of Lai's surrender is also her painstaking gain. ”

Jinyun Chong saw that the elders were obsessed, and his teeth itched with hatred, "But a woman is the head of a clan, and it has never been seen before." Wouldn't it be laughed at by all the nations when he said it? ”

The crowd was silent. The patriarch glanced at him and said angrily: "It is not shameful for a woman to be long, but it is shameful to be a fool." ”

Jinyun Chong lowered his head angrily, and his eyes were full of inferiority.

The morning meeting ended near noon, and at last a promising conclusion was reached.

They decided to let Li Yi participate in the autumn test held by Jinyun Academy three days later, in order to test his strength and sincerity.

If he can achieve the first result, then Jinyun will be desperate to mold him into the most powerful secret weapon in Los Angeles.
