Cloud sinking [rebirth]

If the Li family has distinguished guests, they will definitely hold a banquet to entertain them, and Li Ji also knows that he is not qualified to attend. The Li family has long ignored him as a living person from top to bottom.

Uncle Qian was about to take this opportunity to go out to check on the old man's situation, when there was a knock on the door outside, Li Ji and Uncle Qian looked at each other in surprise, how could someone come at this time?One must know that the members of the Li family wished that they did not exist, and would not join them. Even if they had to come here, they would not have a good attitude. How could they knock on the door politely like now?

Li Ji can actually understand why these servants do this. After all, they all have to live under the current Patriarch's hand. If they fail to act according to the Patriarch's wife's wishes, just show a little sympathy for Master Li Ji at 01:30. I'm afraid they won't be able to work for long.Since this lady moved into Li's house, the people left behind by the original wife in the early years have been cleared out little by little. It was Uncle Qian who finally gave the death order to stay.

Uncle Qian shook his head at the young master, then walked over calmly and opened the door. To his surprise, the person standing outside the door was actually the butler of the Li family. The butler is also polite, which shows how much Li Yugeng trusts him.

"Butler Li," Uncle Qian was surprised, but still had the air of repelling people thousands of miles away, "Excuse me, what's the purpose of coming here?"

The butler was not dissatisfied with Uncle Qian's attitude, he bowed slightly to Uncle Qian and Young Master Li Ji behind him and said, "The master is hosting a banquet to entertain distinguished guests, let Young Master Ji go to greet the guests together."

Li Ji sneered: "The butler doesn't need to be so grandiose, let's just say it, what is the reason that reminded the Patriarch that I also need to attend, and he is not afraid that I will lose his face?"

The butler remained calm, and could not see any disrespect towards Li Ji, but Li Ji would not believe what he saw on the surface, because from the beginning to the end, the butler was most loyal to the Patriarch, and he only listened to the Patriarch's orders Well, the head of the family doesn't take his son seriously, so how can the housekeeper take him seriously.

However, this knowledge is deep enough. When he heard him call his biological father the head of the family, he didn't show any displeasure or surprise, but he didn't hide the real situation. After all, everyone knew it well and there were no special circumstances. He will definitely not be taken out to make an appearance, so the butler said: "The second young master of the Qi family personally called for a meeting with Young Master Ji. The owner hopes that Young Master Ji can entertain the second young master Qi well. When the time comes, what Young Master Ji asked for will be sure." Will agree."

How could Li Ji fail to understand the meaning contained in these words, this is a threat, let him entertain the second young master Qi well, what kind of entertaining method does it need to say?Naturally, he was made to sacrifice his appearance, and Li Ji felt desolate in his heart.

That's okay, just take this trip as they wish, he knows that Qi Ershao wants to see him, it is definitely not the kind of situation that the master and servant think, but he knows the friendship between Qi Ershao and Yun Chen, then There is only one explanation, and it is likely that Yun Chen entrusted Second Young Master Qi to inquire about his situation, so he should go there all the more.

Showing a look to Uncle Qian, telling Uncle Qian to stay and play by ear, don't worry about his situation, Li Ji walked out by himself without even changing his clothes.The housekeeper opened his mouth to say something, but he closed it after thinking about it. Young Master Li Ji had lived outside for many years, and he didn't know anything about the situation now. It could be said that he didn't even have the courtesy to attend a more formal dinner party, and their Li family didn't Prepare, but it will not work to think of a way at this time, so I have to follow.

The butler sighed inwardly, wondering what Er Shao Qi liked about Master Li Ji, he had followed the Patriarch very early on, and naturally knew that the Patriarch's biggest dislike for his ex-wife was that he didn't have a good appearance, and his soup was poor. , and didn't know how to flatter others, so he couldn't please the Patriarch at all, but he was forced by the old man to marry him back. It is conceivable that the patriarch's rebellious psychology became stronger. lady.

The reason why Young Master Li Ji is not favored is because he is a former wife, because he is a natural person, and there is another important reason, that is, Li Ji looks too much like his ex-wife. How could he be willing to see Li Ji, who had the same appearance as his former wife, dangle in front of his eyes, so he was exiled according to the current wife's wishes, and since then he has been like a shadow without any sense of existence.

Li Yugeng personally accompanied Qi Ershao and Young Master Gu to talk. From the perspective of others, the Li family is enough to give them face. After all, Li Yugeng is going to be the elder and the head of the family. This should be Li Wen's business. But Li Yugeng also knew that even if he forced his son to accompany him, he would be unwilling to do so, so it would make them unhappy.

Li and Geng are trying their best to talk about the history of cooperation between the Li family and the Qi family in the past, so as to prove that the relationship between the two families is very harmonious. In the future, this tradition should be maintained and carried forward. Second Young Master Qi and Young Master Gu are not listening. When I was getting impatient, there was a commotion at the door, and Li Ji appeared.

If the housekeeper hadn't accompanied him personally, Li Ji would have been stopped by outsiders before he showed up. He has been away for so many years, but not everyone has seen and remembered this young master.

Li Wen also saw Li Ji, frowned and said to his mother: "Mom, did you really find him? Look at his poor appearance, he is dissatisfied and deliberately looking for scum, just like him Looks like he wants to climb up to Second Young Master Qi? Tsk, it's a dream, maybe he offended someone outside, so he specially called him over to humiliate him at this time."

Mrs. Li had mentioned it to her son before, with so many people watching, there was no need to trouble Li Ji in public.She had the same thoughts as her son, not to mention that it is impossible for Second Young Master Qi to take a liking to Li Ji, even the Qi family cannot allow such a natural person who can't bring half a profit into the Qi family, even if Second Young Master Qi is rumored to be abolished If the statement is true, it is not easy to find a female beast for Second Young Master Qi based on the status of the Qi family.

It is an exaggeration to say that he is poor, of course, Li Ji's life is much better than they thought, the clothes on his body are not too bad, but they are casual clothes, not formal dresses for such occasions, Li Ji came back He just wanted to see his grandfather, and didn't want to have anything to do with other people, so he didn't prepare that kind of clothes, and it was even more impossible for the Li family to prepare anything for him.

Li Ji walked in with his head held high and his chest held high. He would not be the one who loses face. He has nothing to be guilty of, not to mention that he relies on his own skills to make a living, and he has more confidence than most parasites in the clan.

"Xiao Ji is here, are you feeling better?" He was on the same channel as his wife's brainwaves before, saying that the son was not present because he was unwell. "Come on, come on, this is Second Young Master Qi, Xiao Ji didn't even tell me that you are so familiar with Second Young Master Qi outside."

Saying this made the corners of the mouths of both parties twitch at the same time. When Li Ji was brought over by the butler, he saw Xiao Yunchen standing behind Qi Ershao. His heart warmed, and his stiff expression relaxed a lot. How could he not understand at this time? Yes, it was clearly Xiao Yunchen who asked Qi Ershao to bring him here in his name, presumably it was his sudden departure back to Li's house that made Yunchen uneasy.

Li Ji's heart is warm, and his close relatives are not destined, but he has a caring friend. He knows that everything he has today is brought by Yun Chen, otherwise he would still be wandering in Pengcheng to study his pharmacy. With the wife of the Li family around, he can't get a good teacher, so he can only immerse himself in research.

Li Ji felt that he was willing to crush Xiao Yunchen in this life. It was Yunchen who brought him a new life. After this incident, he would have nothing to do with the Li family.

Qi Jinglin glanced at Xiao Yunchen, and said with that look, look, I have sacrificed to this extent, Li Yugeng's words are too ambiguous, Xiao Yunchen, you have to make up for it.

Xiao Yunchen was relieved after seeing Li Ji'an appeared in good health, and then felt that he was too nervous. What happened to Mr. Li in this life happened after Li Ji came back, so he will not be used by the Li family as a substitute for the dead , It is estimated that it is ignored at most.

When he received Qi Jinglin's gaze, Xiao Yunchen showed a shallow grateful smile. As for Qi Jinglin's sacrificed reputation and compensation, he didn't think about that aspect, and in his opinion, now with Qi Jinglin They can be regarded as friends, and they are more advanced than partners.

"It's not familiar, just met a few times." Li Ji replied lightly.

"Haha, this is not familiar, but how familiar is it? Xiao Ji, during the time when Er Shao Qi and Young Master Gu are our guests, Xiao Ji, you can work hard to help father greet them." Li Ji personally admitted that he had met. , and Qi Ershao did not deny it, which made Li Yugeng feel that his guess was right, so he needed to create opportunities for young people.

Li Ji frowned because of what Li Yugeng said, but he didn't refuse. He nodded slightly and stood aside silently.Seeing his appearance, Li Yugeng secretly resented him for not taking the initiative at all. Didn't he make Qi Er Shao unhappy? Fortunately, seeing that Qi Er Shao didn't show any dissatisfaction, he wondered if Qi Er Shao just took this kind of trick, and then he said happily. Left to let their young people play by themselves.

After Li Ji appeared, many people in the hall were paying attention to this scene. Many of the Li family members of the same generation did not remember Li Ji's appearance. When they saw him, they were in a daze. He thought it was funny when he was a loving father, so he threw them out, no matter how many years he didn't ask, he was still a loving father?

However, after Qi Er rarely saw Li Ji, the relationship between the two of them was not as cordial as they thought. Qi Jinglin reacted indifferently, and did not say a word to Li Ji, and Li Ji just quietly accompanied the pedestrian, If it wasn't for his identity being special enough, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of others.

On the contrary, Gu Hehua and Mole seized this opportunity to make a good joke about Qi Jinglin. They had the same ambiguous eyes, as if Qi Jinglin really had something to do with Li Ji, so Qi Jinglin hurriedly looked at Xiao Yunchen, afraid that Xiao Yunchen would really have something to do. Misunderstandings are bad.

The people around them suddenly felt that the temperature in the hall had dropped, and looked around inexplicably, but the weather outside seemed to have not changed.

Xiao Qifeng, who started out as mediocre, still took it calmly, as if the sudden change had nothing to do with him.

After the banquet, Li Ji was arranged by Li Yugeng to live in the guest courtyard, under the euphemistic name of accompanying the guests nearby.

After arriving at the guest house, Li Ji and Xiao Yunchen had a chance to talk. Li Ji said anxiously, "Yun Chen, why did you come here? Is it because of me? It's all my fault."

"There are your reasons, and there are other reasons. You don't have to worry." Xiao Yunshen comforted Li Ji, and revealed their true intentions in this business. The main thing is for Mr. Li.

"Have you seen your grandfather? How is the old man?" Xiao Yunchen asked.

Li Ji shook his head: "They won't let me see, they think I'm making trouble." He is not afraid of losing face, everyone knows his situation.

Several people shook their heads speechlessly after hearing this, which shows how low Li Ji's status in this family is.

Uncle Qian was also notified to move here. He sneaked out while Li Ji was out of the banquet. Although he found the old man's location based on his familiarity with Li's house, he couldn't sneak in because of the strong defense force. So back again soon.

Knowing the purpose of Qi Jinglin and his party, Uncle Qian was relieved. He didn't think that the two parties would come unprepared, and Li Yugeng's delaying tactics might not be effective, so the little master's wish will be fulfilled soon. Realized, he also hopes that the little master can cut off the relationship with the Li family as soon as possible.

With Uncle Qian, who is familiar with Li's house, Xiao Qifeng quickly grasped a more specific road map, and with the situation detected by Xiao Yunshen's spiritual sense, Xiao Qifeng's night trip went more smoothly.

Xiao Yunchen went with his father.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Xiao Yunchen was able to use some superficial concealment techniques, so the two of them sneaked into the inner house quietly.

It took several 10 minutes along the way before the two of them approached the destination. This place was confirmed by Uncle Qian, and Xiao Yun's Shen Bairi's spiritual sense had also arrived here, and he detected a violent and extremely unstable aura spreading over the place. At that time, he didn't dare to get too close to this area, fearing that his spiritual consciousness would be impacted by this breath.

But with this aura, he was sure that it must be where the old man was.

Xiao Qifeng also sensed that there are actually two eighth-level hunters guarding here, and several seventh-level hunters. It can be seen that Li Yugeng really mobilized the strongest defensive force to prevent the approach of outsiders, or to block the old man and outsiders. touch.

After carefully sensing the situation of the most violent aura in the center of the courtyard, a look of surprise flashed in Xiao Qifeng's eyes. Xiao Yunchen noticed his father's strange situation and asked with his eyes.

Xiao Qifeng said in a low voice: "This old man doesn't seem to have completely lost his mind. I suspect that he deliberately cooperated with Li Yugeng to show him. Since he could detect the abnormality in advance and contact the Qi family earlier, He will not be unprepared for his son's means."

Xiao Yunchen almost exclaimed, the various things between father and son really made him not know what to say, but now he is thankful that his family situation is simple, his father loves him, and his father wants to work hard after returning. To make up for the 17 years of disappearance, thinking about it now, he is really much luckier than Li Ji.

"Follow me, let's sneak in." Xiao Qifeng touched the top of his son's hair and whispered, then bent down and landed silently, Xiao Yunchen followed closely, Xiao Qifeng was extremely confident in his son's strength, and was not worried that he would make a fuss Make a movement that alarms the other party.

Even if he is alarmed, he can subdue the opponent in a very short time, so it is good to take this opportunity to train his son.

Xiao Yunchen also felt several existences that were much stronger than him. He tried his best to restrain his aura, because there was a stronger existence like his father, and he did not feel timid or fearful in his heart.

His father is much more experienced, and because of the chaos of more than ten years, Xiao Qifeng had an almost beast-like intuition. For example, when he first met the Fox King, he chose to obey rather than resist, because he knew that even if he resisted, he could not resist. Although the Fox King has no body, he can still launch a fatal attack on his soul in the shortest possible time.

The eighth-level hunter was a full level behind the ninth-level hunter, and Xiao Qifeng was not an ordinary ninth-level existence, so the father and son sneaked in under the noses of these strong men without any danger.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Yunchen quickly set up a simple formation that he made in advance to isolate the outside world.

Then, Xiao Qifeng let out his own breath fiercely, pressing towards the only existence in the room.

Xiao Yunchen's first reaction when he sensed it was that his father was trying to test the other party. Not only was he sweating for his father's boldness, but if the other party was really irrational, then his formation would not be able to stop the collision of their breaths at all. Expose them completely to the eyes of those outside, and then the entire Li family will be alarmed.

This is an empty room, and there is a huge beast lying in the middle. Li's beast is a tiger and lion, so this is an old tiger and lion, and it doesn't growl when it faces the sudden oppression. , but suddenly raised his prostrate head to stare vigilantly at the intruder's position.

Xiao Qifeng retracted his aura in an instant, exposing his figure to the eyes of tigers and lions, and said in a low voice: "The old man is really vigilant, he must be waiting for someone to come to rescue him."

He is old and mature, and he is talking about people like Mr. Li. He also knows that the current situation is caused by his step-by-step indulgence, and he has to take care of all this. He is also betting whether the Qi family will help .Of course, his bet is that the Qi family will make a move. If the Qi family does not make a move, the Li family will completely fall to the An family. Although the Li family is not a top-notch family, it has enough contacts and resources after many years of operation, and it also plays a big role in the team. A small role is not a dispensable existence.

So, now the Qi family sent someone here.

But the aura of this person is by no means any one he is familiar with. It is strange but surprisingly powerful, surpassing his previous cognition. When did such a powerful person quietly appear in the Huameng.
