Chapter XXIII: Deacons

In the next few days, sure enough, many people came to see Li Yan, except for the fourth elder and the fifth elder Li Yan, who made an exception to see once, he didn't see any of the rest, and asked Li Fu to send them back. Although those people were uncomfortable in their hearts www.biquge.info they didn't dare to complain, after the events of that day, everyone saw Li Yan's strength and skill in handling things, and no one treated him as a child anymore.

Chen Jingqing also came once, and there was a lot of intercession for Li Dongliang in his words, Li Yan did not agree to withdraw the previous decision, and still let him stay in the forbidden place for five years, but he also made it clear that this time the matter has passed, and if he no longer looks for trouble, he will no longer pursue it.

Chen Jingqing was already very satisfied with this promise, after all, she knew very well how Li Dongliang treated Li Yan before. She had actually expected the worst before she came, and if it weren't for her aunt, who had just lost her beloved son, she wouldn't even come to intercede.

Half a month later, the four elders came to see Li Yan.

"It's been half a month, can you think about when you will officially inherit the position of patriarch? The four elders said.

"I'll talk about that later, I don't have any plans for that yet. Li Yan said.

"Don't have this plan?" The fourth elder was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, he didn't expect you to make such a big noise that day......

"There is no urgency. After a while, you can pick a few of the juniors in your family who are still good in character and qualifications and send them to me. Li Yan then said.

"No problem. Hearing this, the four elders pondered for a moment, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

After the four elders left, Li Yan and He Yue chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to cultivate.

That night, a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard where the Li family's descendants were located.

"Who's coming?" Li Yan's voice came from the room.

"Zhang Qian, the deacon of the Xia Zhen Sect, took the liberty to visit late at night, and looked at Haihan!" the figure was stunned and said with some surprise. Although he didn't hide his traces, he didn't expect to be discovered by the other party so easily.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and Li Yan walked out of it with a solemn expression. If in the past, even if he had a lot of treasures about the various rivers and lakes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would never know where this true sect was, but it was a coincidence that he had just seen it in the jade slip a few days ago.

Of course, even if he didn't mention the sect, he could know his identity from the fluctuations in the aura on his body. Fortunately, at this time, Li Yan had already learned to use the formation of the Four Holy Beast Flags in his body to hide his breath, otherwise he would immediately arouse this person's suspicion.

"Under Li Yan, but I don't know what your excellency is doing here?" Li Yan said. Before figuring out the other party's purpose, it is naturally most appropriate to pretend to be confused.

"Looking at your appearance, I obviously don't know who you are......" Zhang Qian put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly. As he spoke, he raised his hand and placed a barrier of True Qi around him to prevent what the two of them were saying from being heard by others. Li Yan pretended not to understand, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him vigilantly, "But I don't know what Your Excellency was doing just now?" This is the Li family, you'd better settle down!"

"Don't be nervous, it's just a small trick to avoid our conversation being overheard. Zhang Qian smiled slightly.

"I see, then Your Excellency will tell me, what is your identity?" Li Yan said.

"But I don't know if Your Excellency has ever heard of a cultivator?" Zhang Qian's face had a hint of pride.

"Cultivator, are you a cultivator?" Li Yan pretended to be surprised.

"Looks like you've heard about it, so it's not nonsense. The reason why I came to you this time is because I want to continue to cooperate with your Li family. I am the backing of the Li family, and I will solve some things that the world cannot solve for the Li family, and the Li family will give me half of the annual harvest. Of course, we only need the same amount of iron ore, copper ore, silver ore and gold ore. How?" Zhang Qian said.

"Your Excellency means that you have cooperated with my Li family before the real one?" Li Yan frowned when he heard this.

"That's natural! In the past few years, I have cooperated quite happily with your Li family. Zhang Qian said.

"But I don't know who is working with your Excellency in my Li family?" asked Li Yan.

"I only contacted Li Lianchen in the next place. Presumably there will be others who will know about it, but it will not be a matter of concern. Zhang Qian said.

"Sure enough, it's the Second Elder, so what about before this?" Li Yan asked quietly.

"Naturally, we also cooperate very well!" Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment, and then smiled.

"That's good. Li Yan said. Some subtle changes in Zhang Qian's expression did not escape his keen sense, thinking of some doubts about his father Li Dongcheng's plot, but the waves in his heart suddenly surged, and it was difficult to calm down, could it be that there was something else to do with this?

"Presumably you, the new patriarch, won't object?" Zhang Qian then asked.

"After all, it is a major matter in the clan, Deacon Zhang, please allow me to discuss with the elders of the clan first, and when a decision is made, it will not be too late for you and me to decide how to cooperate. Li Yan pondered for a moment and said.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you in Zhongzhou City for three days, I hope your decision won't disappoint me after three days!" Zhang Qian obviously didn't expect Li Yan to refuse, and suddenly a layer of frost rose on his face, and after looking at Li Yan for a while, he found that he was not the slightest afraid because of this, and snorted.

"But I don't know if Deacon Zhang has a place to live in Zhongzhou City?" asked Li Yan.

"As long as I come to Zhongzhou, I will settle in Yunyi's courtyard, and you can send someone there to find me if you have something." Zhang Qian did not doubt him, and said casually.

After Zhang absconded away, Li Yan stayed awake all night.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Fu was asked to invite the four elders. This Fourth Elder is really an insider, when the True Sect came to the door, the Second Elder called the four people who were also elders together to discuss the matter, and finally the Second Elder made a decision. After further inquiry, he learned that his father Li Dongcheng did not cooperate with the real sect back then, but he did not know which sect it was.

"From this point of view, there may really be a problem with that Zhang Qian......" After the fourth elder left, Li Yan secretly frowned, "If this matter is not clarified, even if I cultivate it in the future, I will definitely be in trouble...... Looks like I'm going to have to go to Zhongzhou myself. "I got up and pushed the door out.

The place where the Li Mansion is located is not in Zhongzhou City, but in the more beautiful scenery of Lishui City, although it is also under the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou, the distance between the two is more than a thousand miles. This is nothing for cultivators, the time for a meal is up, but for ordinary people, they have to spend a night and a day even if they are desperately in a hurry. And Li Yan at this moment, this is exactly the case, although the horse is fast, it will not arrive until the evening of the next day.

Fortunately, when he was a child, he didn't come here with his father Li Dongcheng, otherwise there would be some trouble.

"It seems that I have time to start comprehending some hurried retreats, otherwise where would there be the appearance of a cultivator?" Li Yan shook his head and sighed.

In fact, he still has a faster way to hurry, that is, he can rush directly with his own legs, if he runs the magic skill with all his strength, with his current cultivation, even if it is not as good as the Five Elements Escape Technique in the foundation building period, it will not be too far behind, but in that case, maybe it will be seen by the monks passing by, which will cause unnecessary trouble. The identity of the Flame Demon was a taboo in the cultivation realm, and he had to be careful.
