After rushing back to Li's mansion, Wu Xu was called by Li Gongtan for the first time.

No matter what Li Gongtan thought of him before, Wu Xu's seven days of living with Venerable Hongxuan are obvious to all, these days Xiang Jia and Baifu have been persevering to deliver posts to Huayan Temple, and even Liang Junshou can't sit still, saying that he Li Gongtan is not in a hurry is false.

However, the old lady had already set the tone before, and this matter should be done naturally and not forced. Venerable Hongxuan is a high-ranking monk outside the world, and will never enter the red dust again, the Xiang and Bai families are just doing useless work, and there may even be a counter-effect, Li Fu only needs to express enough respect. Moreover, for the Li Mansion, the real breakthrough is in Wu Xu, which is an unavoidable advantage.

Li Gongtan almost immediately understood where to start. So he found Hongfu, at that time he had already investigated the matter of these two people, knowing that Hongfu would definitely not agree to visit Wu Xu, he had to first seriously ask Hongfu if she had anything to do with Wu Xuzhen, Hongfu was suddenly angry at that time - of course she knew all the reasons these days - and then Li Gongtan pretended to question, Hongfu's face was red, and she was so angry that she almost started to beat someone, Li Gongtan saw that the time was almost up, so he said: "If you are innocent, prove it." Hongfu said, "How can you prove it?" Li Gongtan said as a matter of course: "Wu Xuan is now living with Venerable Hongxuan, I heard that he is sick, and someone in the house should also visit him, you are the most suitable." ”

Hongfu said anxiously at the time: "Won't it be even more clear if I go?"

Li Gongtan said leisurely: "If you don't dare to go, then you have a weak heart." ”

Then Li Hongfu agreed. She was in a very bad mood that day, it was said that she had dropped a lot of things, and she specially called Yutong and Tongyu over and scolded her, which made the two little girls wonder. But soon the eldest lady asked them to follow her to see Wu Gongzi, and suddenly she jumped up again, and she was scolded and smiled, and Hongfu was soon defeated and began to sit alone in a daze.

She couldn't figure it out, she felt like a moth, and suddenly she was entangled in a spider's web, and then there was an annoying spider crawling over with its teeth and claws, but it clearly had a face that looked very similar to Wu Xu.

Hongfu actually has a feeling of powerlessness, and I've only seen it three times in total, why is it like I've been obsessed with it all my life. Hongfu had tried not to let herself think about that person, but she just couldn't stop the smell of sauced beef from pouring into her mouth and nose, and the sound of wooden fish burrowing into her ears.

She couldn't stop it, a radiant figure kept appearing in her eyes, as if there were countless lightning flashes inside, lighting up the brilliance in her eyes.

Thinking about it, she felt that there were thousands of rays of light like substance, piercing some parts of her body, it was painful and hot, but her face suddenly turned red, and a pair of beautiful eyes actually sent out an extremely dangerous signal.

Finally, in the midst of all the attention, Li Hongfu met Venerable Hongxuan on behalf of Li Fu, and after mechanically saying what her father told her, Hongfu restrained herself from caring for and visiting Wu Xu, who was still in a coma, and then, she saw the sister she had been forcing herself to hate, Li Lanjin.

Hongfu was surprised at the time, and then glanced at her indifferently, and then Lan Jin's weak body shook slightly, but Qingwei beside her was already holding her arm and laughing coquettishly. Hongfu suddenly felt a little interested, of course, she didn't have any interest.

After saying goodbye, Hongfu led her sister, Xiaotong, Xiaoyu and others back to the house, saw her father, made a report, and simply asked: "Why is Li Lanjin also there? ”

Li Gongtan was stunned, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said, "After all, she is different from you." Moreover, your grandfather has already decided to marry her to Wu Xu. ”

"Xu ration to Wu Xu......" Hongfu was stunned.

"Ah!" Qingwei exclaimed at this time, and then said happily: "Great, Sister Lan Jin...... Lan Jin, she and Wu Xu's brother are very compatible. After that, he peeked at his sister with a weak heart, but found that she was a little stunned, as if she hadn't heard anything, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Gongtan looked at Hongfu thoughtfully, and said suspiciously: "Fu'er, you won't really ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Hongfu's cold gaze sweeping over, Li Gongtan hurriedly stopped his mouth, laughed, and said: "Lan Jin is sixteen years old this year, and it is time to get married, your grandfather said, use a few shops as dowry, let them move out and be self-reliant." But there was a lot of sadness between the words. For his daughter, he probably can't even tell what he feels. At first, he was drunk and immoral, and forcibly had a relationship with the maid who served him, and then the maid became pregnant and gave birth, so he hid her and her daughter for two years. But who would have thought that on the night when his beloved wife gave birth to Qingwei, the matter was leaked out by someone with a heart. His wife was originally in difficult childbirth, and at that time, she got out of bed and walked around regardless of her body, and finally the external evil entered the body, coupled with the depression in her heart, she couldn't afford to be sick, and passed away not long after.

Until now, he still remembers what his wife said before she died in his arms: "I don't blame you, Gongtan, take good care of it...... Our children. That expression was so nostalgic, not only for the two children, but also for him. He finally blamed himself to the deepest in his wife's last forgiveness, and he had never hated himself so much. After that, he executed the mouthy maid and broke the legs and hands of a cousin. But he also placed Lan Jin's mother and daughter in the garden of the mansion, and he also knew that everything was his fault, but Hongfu, who was four years old at the time, did not intend to forgive them. And he himself, every time he saw Lan Jin, he could always think of his deceased wife, and after a long time, he let it go.

Time is really fast, in a flash, fourteen years have passed. Li Gongtan sighed in his heart, and said secretly: "If it weren't for Shi Ye's fate, how could my daughter get Wu Xu's turn to be that kid, but now, no matter what, Lan Jin can be regarded as having a settlement." Alas, my own father is really a failure!"

Hongfu snorted, without saying a word, and then dragged Qingwei out of the door. At that moment, Li Gongtan was no longer the powerful Li Zongchang, but just a lonely father.

Even in the days since, the mood has not completely dissipated. At this time, Li Gongtan stared at Wu Xu, who ran in in a panic, with a very complicated heart, and turned a blind eye to his pale face, "I know what you want to ask, but this is not something that can be solved in a hurry." ”

"I just want to ask," Wu Xuan was sweating profusely at this moment, his face was even more ugly, and he almost asked tremblingly, "How is my sister?"

Li Gongtan said, "Your sister is okay for the time being. Hearing this, Wu Xu's tense heart suddenly relaxed, and he felt a sense of prostration surging all over his body, but he heard Li Zongchang continue: "It's just that things have changed, when Steward Tong set off with your family, an unknown force suddenly intervened to stop it, and it was menacing, it was definitely not a good type, it seemed to be a ghost person." ”

"Ghost ...... People in the ghost path?" Wu Xu's surprise was not trivial, he thought a lot at this moment, and said for a long time: "So, my sister's condition may also be related to these ghost people?"

Li Gongtan nodded solemnly and said, "Nine times out of ten, according to the transmission note sent by Steward Tong, your sister has signs of ghost qi entering her body, if it is not discharged in time, I am afraid it will be very dangerous." ”

"No wonder, no wonder," Wu Xuan said bitterly: "My sister has pain every day and night, but I can't find the cause, and no medicine works!"

"The ghost path is different from the hell path, although they all belong to the six realms, but the people in the ghost path can wreak havoc in the world, among them, there are rakshasas, yaksha and other clans are rampant, and there is no lack of superb cultivators, not to be underestimated. Li Gongtan said: "Butler Tong fought with them that day, and both sides were killed and injured, so the old lady personally led people to rush there, and now I don't know what happened." At this time, Li Gongtan saw that Wu Xu's face was very discouraged, but he also comforted: "But since the old lady rushed in person, you don't have to worry too much, and you have just woken up, you should also pay attention to your body." ”

Wu Xuan heard this, so he had to reluctantly cheer up and said: "What my uncle said is that the little nephew's body should be fine." After saying this, Wu Xu suddenly felt a little ironic, and now he could clearly feel that his strength could almost crack bricks and stones, but it was because he had no roots and bones that he did not succeed in breaking through, even if he ate three Euepiphany, it was useless.

When Li Gongtan heard this, he looked at Wu Xu's body seriously, and his eyes immediately stared, and after a long time, he sighed: "Now your physique has almost surpassed that of the foundation building monk, but it's a pity that it's ......."

Wu Xu didn't know what to feel in his heart when he heard it, the two talked a few more words, Wu Xu said goodbye to the sect chief, and walked all the way in a daze, but he felt that although the Li Mansion was big, he didn't know where to go.
