Chapter 1213: Dispute

Li Hongli’s words roused many surprised gazes from the crowd. When they looked at Li Hongli and Li Hongyou, they realized that they looked pretty similar.

"Li Hongyou, Li Hongli..."

When Li Fengyi repeated the words, she finally caught onto it. She asked in astonishment, "Are... are the two of you sisters?"

If Li Hongyou was Li Hongli’s sister, that meant she belonged to the Dragon's Blood Lineage. Why was she joining the Dragon's Fang Guardians?

Li Zhiqiu was also taken aback for a moment. He turned and asked, "Hongli, you know her?"

Li Hongli stared at Li Hongyou with a puzzled look. She hesitated for a while before answering, "She... she's my sister. However, she left the Dragon's Blood Lineage with her mother a long time ago. There was no news of them all this while, and I never expected to meet her here."

"She's the daughter of Cousin Yuanzhen?" Li Zhiqiu was surprised to hear it.

This wasn’t all that unexpected as Li Yuanzhen had multiple wives. Naturally, he had quite a number of sons and daughters. However, the only ones who had been acknowledged officially were Li Hongque and Li Hongli. He had never seen or heard about Li Hongyou.

Li Foluo frowned as he listened to their conversation. “So Li Hongyou is Li Yuanzhen's daughter? Why does she want to join the Dragon's Fang Guardians? The Dragon's Blood Guardians will surely make a mountain out of a molehill over this matter.”

At this point, a light flashed through Li Zhiqiu's eyes and he smiled warmly at Li Hongyou. "So you're a member of our family, Niece Hongyou. Come, I’ll take you home now. Hongque and Hongli are both in the Dragon's Blood Guardians. I will pass the message to Cousin Yuanzhen. He'll surely be excited to hear about you."

This was truly a pleasant surprise. Originally, he thought that Li Luo had brought back two pieces of good news for the Dragon's Fang Guardians. Who would have expected that one of them was related to the Dragon's Blood Lineage?

Although Li Hongyou was not as impressive as Jiang Qing'e, she was still in the later stages of the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier. She was just a step away from the Duke Stage and had the lower ninth-grade Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit resonance. This made her far superior to her peers.

Li Hongyou looked back at them with an emotionless face. "My mother and I cut all relations with Li Yuanzhen after we left the Dragon's Blood Lineage. We are no longer family."

Everyone was stunned to hear this. Even Li Foluo and Li Fengyi looked at her in shock. There must have been a story behind all this that they were unaware of.

Li Zhiqiu frowned. "Hongyou, what are you saying? You're the daughter of Cousin Yuanzhen. This is a fact that can't be changed."

Then his tone got a little softer as he continued, "I don't know what happened to you over the years, but it's completely natural for you to feel angry. Don't worry, I'll bring Cousin Yuanzhen over and he will surely compensate you for your hardships."

Li Hongyou's eyes turned icy when she heard that name. Her mouth twitched a little and she smiled mockingly. "I'll give it a second thought if he can bring back my mother, who died from overworking."

Li Zhiqiu was fuming at this point. This brat was brandishing his position of Hall Master as a weapon. Although he was young, he held a higher position; this was truly frustrating.

Li Luo laughed out coldly. "If you have any objections, you can ask Li Yuanzhen or your Lineage Chief to go speak with my Lineage Chief directly. The Dragon's Fang Guardians will not take orders from anyone else."

Li Zhiqiu's face was completely pale. "Are you trying to worsen the relationship between the Dragon's Blood Guardians and the Dragon's Fang Guardians?"

"What a joke! Do you expect us to go against our Lineage Chief because of your words? What do you think we are?" Li Luo rebutted without backing down.

"This matter is out of your hands. You should keep yourself out of it!"

Li Zhiqiu laughed angrily. "Excellent... Just wait and see! The Dragon's Blood Lineage will not let this slide." He knew it was pointless to argue any further, so he waved his sleeve, and a huge amount of resonant power surged up, dragging Li Hongli and the others away with him.

After Li Zhiqiu and the rest had left, Li Foluo and Li Fengyi took a look at each other. They had no idea that Li Luo would start an argument with Li Zhiqiu and the Dragon's Blood Lineage right after coming to the Dragon's Fang Guardians.

"Hall Master Li Luo, you've certainly brought us quite a bit of trouble," Li Foluo said.

Li Luo smiled. "Guardian General Li Foluo, you wouldn't want to hand such a talented person over to the Dragon's Blood Guardians, right?"

Li Foluo shook his head. "I definitely welcome her. However, Li Zhiqiu will definitely create a ruckus out of it. Besides, the Guardian General of the Dragon's Blood Guardians, Li Zhihuo, is his brother. Our groups will definitely not get along moving forward."

"Did we get along well in the past?" Li Luo asked.

"Not really," Li Foluo replied.

"You just need to accept us into the army. I will handle all the other matters. Besides, this is something my grandfather has agreed to. If the Dragon's Blood Lineage wants to argue over it, they will have to bring it up to him directly."

"Since the Lineage Chief has agreed, we will follow accordingly," Li Foluo said.

Li Luo nodded. He then turned around to take a look at Li Hongyou, who was clenching her fists tightly. He told her in a serious tone, "Senior Hongyou, don't worry about it. No one can take you away from the Dragon's Fang Guardians. I can promise you that."

Li Hongyou looked back at him with eyes of gratitude and nodded lightly.

Following this, they did not hang around any longer. They flew into the sky, and after an hour or so, a majestic and huge mountain came into view.

They had arrived at Heavenly Dragon Peak.
