Right now, even an idiot would know that Li Chengfeng was definitely not a common mortal. Nineteen years ago, the imperial court sent out the order to kill, and it had caused countless bloodshed in the entire Da Qi Kingdom. Thousands of infants died in one night, and countless families were exterminated in one night!

The Li family relied solely on their mother, the Xie family, for her cleverness and luck!

If news of Li Chengfeng's strange phenomenon were to spread out, the Li family would not be able to escape the calamity of annihilation even if they fled to the ends of the earth!

What they knew even more was that this Sun Bohun, whose eyes had been burnt through … He is a cultivator of the Spirit Mountain Sect!

Offending the Spirit Mountain Sect would be the end of the family!

If they advanced or retreated now, they would all die!

An ant being greedy for life, what more a human!

Sun Bohun was twitching on the floor. A golden thread fell out of his robe and hit the floor, creating a crisp sound. This sound immediately made the silent hall a bit more lively.

Lady Xie slowly stood up. She silently walked over and picked up the golden invitation. With a pitiful smile, she said, "This is the thing that brought so much trouble!"

Lady Xie miserably held onto the golden invitation and walked over to the brazier nearby. Her eyes painfully looked at the burning charcoal in the brazier. After tottering for a while, the golden invitation suddenly fell from her hand.

Seeing that she was fast, Lu Zhu screamed out and stretched out her hand to slap the golden invitation into the air. Then, she pounced forward with both her hands and feet, hugging the golden invitation into her bosom as she spoke to the Xie Family with teary eyes, "Mother, this is the only hope of our Li Family!"

Xie Clan laughed bitterly as tears streamed down their faces, "Hope? There's no hope! "

Green Pearl glanced at the unconscious Li Chengfeng, her eyes revealed a strange light as she said carefully, "My mother, Young Master must be extraordinary, not necessarily …"

"Shut up!"

Seeing the murderous light in Lady Xie's eyes, Green Pearl immediately shut her mouth, but the golden invitation remained tightly clutched in her hand.

Even though she was a servant girl bought by the Xie Clan when she was young, she grew up in the Li Clan and had long since treated herself as a member of the Li Clan.

The Xie Clan hoped that Li Chengfeng could become a great cultivator and revive their family's reputation, but how could she not hope for that too?

Madame Xie looked at Zhao Xiaobao, her gaze icy cold. Zhao Xiaobao quivered, and then immediately kowtowed. "Don't worry, Mother. Little Treasure's life was given to us by the Li Clan. We'll keep it a secret!"

Mrs Xie sighed, her gaze gradually turning gentle, "Fortunately, only the two of you are here! I watched all of you grow up, and I believe all of you! "

Green Pearl and Little Treasure knelt at the foot of the hall, tears brimming in their eyes as they looked at Lady Xie.

The Xie Clan sighed, "Looks like our Li Clan's days in Cheng'an City won't be long!"

Lu Zhu and Xiao Bao looked at each other, and Lu Zhu asked boldly, "Mother, we … You're leaving? "

Xie Clan nodded, "We can't stay here any longer!"

"When are you leaving?"

The Xie Clan thought for a moment and said, "In a few days, they will offer sacrifices to their Ancestor. After that, you can leave."

With that, Lady Xie walked to the window and looked out. From afar, she could see the green mountains in the distance. What she could hear was the ship's worker.

"This Cheng'an has lived here for over ten years. Although the place is bitter, I really can't bear to leave now!" Madame Xie's eyes were filled with tears as she murmured.

Green Pearl also had red eyes, wiping away her tears, "Wherever my mother goes, Green Pearl will follow. My mother must not leave Green Pearl behind!"

Little Treasure also kowtowed, "Little Treasure too! "Life is for the Li Family, death is for the Li Family ghost!"

Lady Xie smiled. "Everyone, get up. Let's prepare privately for the next few days, but don't let anyone else know."

Green Pearl's heart trembled. She understood that the Xie Clan clearly meant not to bring anyone else with them when they left. The smart and obedient maid glanced at Sun Bohun, who was lying on the ground like a zombie. She shivered slightly and said in a low voice, "My mother, what should we do …"

"If the servant asks, just say that the previous commotion was caused by the master ordering the goods for the young master. If you ask any more questions, the staff will be number twenty!"

Green Pearl nodded slightly. "But... How will the Spirit Mountain Sect explain themselves? "

I have my own plans for this. Go and tell the others, no one is allowed to approach without my permission. Little Treasure, send the young master to his room and take good care of him. When he wakes up, don't say anything and just do as I say. "

Zhao Xiaobao didn't dare to speak of what happened between him and the young master earlier. He asked, "If young master asks for a rating after you wake up, how will you answer?"

Xie Shi said, "Just tell him …"

After thinking for a moment, she said, "First class!"

From the Xie Clan's point of view, they were going to leave anyway. Why would they need to let their son know something hopeless?

Zhao Xiaobao didn't dare to ask any further. With the help of Green Pearl, he carried Li Chengfeng and left. After a while, Green Pearl returned and hurried back with Lady Xie to carry Sun Bohun into the back room.

The Xie Clan returned to the front hall and paced back and forth for a while before she shouted, "Uncle Kun, Uncle Kun!"

Not long after, an old man with white hair and beard came through the alley. He had a face full of wrinkles and a stooped body; he was about sixty years old. He was the Li Residence's butler, Li Kun.

The Xie Clan lifted Uncle Kun up. She stared at him with eyes full of pain. Her voice was choked with sobs as she asked, "Uncle Kun, how long have you been here?"

Without hesitation, he knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Reporting to my mother, this old servant has sold his life to the Li family at the age of eight to serve the third generation Patriarch of the Li family. It has been fifty-three years since then!"

Xie Clan replied, "Ah Chun was brought up by you, and my son was brought up by you. In my heart, I have never considered you as a servant. I have always regarded Uncle Kun as a member of the Li family."

Uncle Kun's eyes turned red and tears rolled down his cheeks, "This old servant knows! In the time of the catastrophe in Han Yang, the old servant's parents had nearly starved to death. All these years, this old servant's family and relatives have long since passed away. This old servant has received a great debt of gratitude from the Li Clan, as if he was reborn! In this old servant's heart, whether it was the family head, mother or young master, they were all the last relatives this old servant had in this world! If Mother has any orders, just speak your mind. This old servant will definitely do it! "

The Xie Clan replied tearfully, "This matter concerns the life and death of our Li Clan. If Uncle Kun were to go, there is a high chance of survival!"

Uncle Kun laughed with tears in his eyes, "I have to give my all."

Madame Xie fell to her knees, choking on her emotions. Uncle Kun quickly stopped her, "What orders does my mother have? Just say it, you must not kill this old servant!"

The Xie Clan whispered into Uncle Kun's ear. Uncle Kun listened quietly, his face completely expressionless. After he finished listening, he bowed deeply to the Xie Clan and turned around to quietly leave.
