The inner courtyard of the Li Mansion.

One of the rooms.

Li Changde was sitting in a chair, and the old god was there, drinking tea without hesitation.

And next to him, the black-faced old man and the other gray-clothed old man looked a little impatient, and after taking a sip of the tea in the teacup, the black-faced old man finally couldn't help but ask: "Ouch, old seven, don't sell Guanzi, why did you suddenly change your mind at the door of the ancestral hall just now and make such a light treatment to that big man?"

"Hey, Lao Jiu, you said that you are such an old person, why are you still so breathless?" Hearing this, Li Changde shook his head slightly, put down the teacup, and said, "The reason why I temporarily changed the hexagram is because of Li Qin?"

"Li Qin?" the black-faced old man frowned and said, "This is an internal matter in our clan, what does it have to do with him as an outsider?"

"This matter naturally has nothing to do with him, but do you know who brought him into the mansion?" Li Changde said with a meaningful smile.

"Li Qin has been working in the mansion for at least fifty years, who will remember such a long time!" The black-faced old man glanced at Li Changde, and he didn't have a good breath.

"You don't remember, but I do. Li Changde smiled and said, "The person who led him into the mansion is an old man, and the errand was also arranged by him." ”

"There is such a thing, hasn't he always cared about the affairs of the house?" said the black-faced old man with a look of surprise.

"You see, what you're saying doesn't mean you don't care. Li Changde looked at the black-faced old man and said: "Then Li Qin has always been alone on weekdays, and he has nothing to do with Da Lang, you say, if it weren't for the old man's instructions, he would have left so many things in the house and followed Da Lang closely?"

"Don't tell me, I was puzzled before. Da Lang has been gone for so many years, and he is helpless in the mansion, how could Li Qin follow him, maybe it is really possible that the old man is behind his back. Hearing Li Changde say this, the gray-clothed old man frowned and said.

"What do you mean, the old man intends to let Da Lang take over the position of head of the family?" said the black-faced old man's face changed slightly, and he said with a little shock in his eyes.

If the old man really meant this, then Li Qin would not have been silent on the side just now. The crux of the problem now is that the old man's attitude is ambiguous, so I didn't do it just now. ”

Li Changde smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why I called you here today is to discuss with you, what is the intention of the old man to do this, and how should we arrange it for Dalang." ”

"You say, could it be that the old man is dissatisfied with the tiger?" guessed the black-faced old man.

"No, Bahu has always been steady, he has basically not made any mistakes over the years, what opinion can the old man have on him. The old man in gray shook his head and said disapprerovingly.

"The old man has always been unfathomable, who can understand his mind? If he didn't have any thoughts about Bahu, how could he send Li Qin to follow Da Lang closely, you must know that this is the treatment that only young masters have. The black-faced old man did not agree with the judgment of the old man in gray and continued to insist on his opinion.

"I think Lao Jiu has a lot of sense. Li Changde played with the teacup on the table and sneered: "I have always felt that the head of the family died very strangely, do you say that this matter has anything to do with the tiger?"

Hearing this, the black-faced old man's face changed suddenly, he looked up at Li Changde, and said, "Old Seven, you can't talk nonsense!"

"Don't worry, I'll just say this in front of my brothers, and I won't talk nonsense outside. Li Changde didn't pay any attention to the black-faced old man's reminder, and then said: "But to be honest, if my guess is true, then it is a little intriguing for the old man to do this." ”

......

......

After leaving the ancestral hall, Ye Kai was not in the mood to wander around the Li Mansion, but went back to the courtyard directly.

The matter of the black pockmark made him feel very uneasy.

Li Bahu's words seemed to be reminding him, but Ye Kai felt that there was more threat in his words.

So, he had to plan ahead.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the best option in front of him is to leave the Li Mansion immediately and stay away from this dispute.

However, Ye Kai thought about it again and again, and still felt that he couldn't just miss this opportunity to build a foundation.

After all, the extremely cold qi on Li Li'er's body is the most suitable for cultivating the "Taiyin Xuanhuang Foundation Building Technique", if you pass this village, there will be no such shop.

Therefore, he finally decided to take the risk and stay.

It's a big deal to keep hiding in the Li Mansion, or the ancestral land of the Li family, so that Li Bahu still has a black pockmark to throw a mouse trap, and there is no chance to hack him.

When he was about to get outside the yard, Ye Kai found a very familiar figure, and when he got closer, he realized that it was the young man who had been chased by the Ground Splitter Dog before.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now when they met again, he found out that this young man's spiritual root turned out to be a second-grade inferior, and he couldn't help but feel very surprised.

With such a high talent, no one found out, and he was only a subordinate who was called upon and tricked by others in the Li Mansion, this is not a "tyrannical thing" and a waste of talents!

Looking at the young man, Ye Kaida felt sorry for him from the bottom of his heart.

Then he stepped forward and said lightly to the young man with a smile: "I recognize you, what are you doing outside the courtyard, are you here to find me?"

Hearing Ye Kai's voice, the young man looked happy, hurriedly turned his head, knelt down without saying a word, and said to Ye Kai: "Please save the villain's life!"

"Didn't I save you once, you can't be too greedy, boy!" Ye Kai's mouth rose slightly, and his face showed a playful look.

As for the young man's intention, he had already guessed it when he saw him, but the two had never known each other, and Ye Kai didn't want to care about other people's affairs.

Hearing this, the young man's face turned white, his clear and clean eyes were suddenly full of despair, his body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and said: "If the eldest prince can keep me by your side, then my life is yours, no matter what you want me to do, I will never say anything." ”

"What you say is really moving. Ye Kai smiled coldly, looked at the young man condescendingly, and said: "But what's the use of me keeping you by my side, if it's just to do some chores to take care of the yard, I have two handsome, caring, gentle and lovely maids waiting for me, do you think you can do better than them?"

"I ......" The young man's face suddenly became extremely ugly, but he still stubbornly said: "I can do anything, in addition to taking care of the yard and taking care of your daily life, I can also be a thug for you and help you kill people." Even when you're in danger, I can block the knife for you, please keep me!"

"Oh~~ With your small body, you can't even hold a knife steadily, and you still want to kill, I heard you right, right?" Ye Kai sneered at the young man.

Hearing the mockery in Ye Kai's words, the young man looked embarrassed and had nothing to say, and after a while, he spoke: "I can, as long as you can give me a chance to live, I am willing to do anything." ”

"Really?" Ye Kai looked at the young man with amusement and said, "But how can I believe that what you said is not a lie? You have to prove to me that you didn't lie to me!"

"I don't know what the eldest prince wants me to do to believe me?" Hearing Ye Kai say this, the young man felt a little uneasy in his heart, but in order to survive, he could only go out and accept Ye Kai's test.

Ye Kai didn't plan to stay in the Li Mansion for a long time, so naturally he didn't have the idea of keeping the boy by his side.

It's just that seeing that he is desperate and regards himself as the last straw, he will inevitably have some sympathy in his heart, and he can't really turn a blind eye.

That's why he talked so much to the boy.

He just seemed to be trying to persuade the teenager to quit, but in fact he was actually convincing himself.

And now, everything that should be said has been said, and Ye Kai knows that it is time to make a decision.

So, he took out a sharp dagger from the storage bag, threw it in front of the young man, and said to him with a cold face: "I used to hear the old man who said that if the younger brother in those gangs did something wrong, he would cut off the tail and point to the boss to atone for his sins and show loyalty. I think this kind of thing is very interesting, if you can do it, I will believe that what you said is true, and let Uncle Qin arrange for you to come to me to do things. ”

"A finger for a child's trust, it's worth it. The young man picked up the dagger on the ground, glanced at Ye Kai sincerely, and said, "Thank you for the success!"

After saying that, he gritted his teeth violently, suddenly swung the dagger vigorously, and cut off the tail finger of his left hand.

Seeing this, Ye Kai's pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly, but it was not just because of the young man's gesture of chopping his fingers, but because of his unhesitating expression when he raised the dagger, and the calmness that endured the pain after chopping off his fingers and didn't even snort.

Where is this a boy who is only eleven or twelve years old, and he is clearly a fierce and ruthless monster hidden under the docile exterior!

Only then did Ye Kai look at the young man with admiration.

And more importantly, the system does not indicate that the hatred value has increased, which can be seen from this point, how strong the boy's heart is!

"What's your name?" Ye Kai helped the young man up from the ground and asked very seriously.

At this moment, there was no sympathy in his eyes.

The teenager's desire to survive is so strong, and his heart is so sincere and simple, such a person is very rare.

Ye Kai felt that sympathy was too redundant for the teenager.

He knew that the boy just needed help, and he was willing to sell this favor.

"I don't have a name, they all call me a dog. The young man smiled innocently, and regained his previous harmless appearance, as if the person who had just cut off his finger was not him, but someone else.

"Dogs, that's not a nice name. Ye Kai shook his head slightly, and said, "Since you don't have a name, then I'll give you one, why don't you call it Li Sanqi in the future, how about it?"

"Li Sanqi?" The young man repeated it in a young voice, and it seemed that he didn't know the words.

Ye Kai looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "Yes, thirty-seven twenty-one, simply Li Sanqi, this name is the most suitable for you." ”

"Childe said that if it is suitable, then it will be suitable, and in the future, I will be called Li Sanqi, the simple Li Sanqi!" the young man grinned at Ye Kai.
