As the two of them discussed, they suddenly felt a bone-piercing coldness invade the depths of their heart. They didn't dare to say another word.

"Eh?" Leng Lingqi felt something was amiss, but when she tried to figure out where it came from, the chill disappeared, as though it had never appeared before.

What the heck? Why are you still putting on airs after calling for me? It truly is troublesome!

Leng Lingqi could not help but scold Leng Xingyi in his heart for looking down on others and doing this, but on the surface, he did not dare to be so presumptuous, "Uncle, why have you called me and my guests here today?"

"May I know which sect this guest is under?" Leng Xingyi's main focus today was to investigate Tian Li's background. This person's origins were unknown, so without his permission, how could he remain in Leng house?

Tian Li knew what kind of trash Leng Xingyi was from the moment he entered the door, and was not surprised by his question, "I am a teacher, but I was originally a rogue cultivator. It's just that I was injured two days ago and was forced to go to my residence."

"Uncle, are you suspecting me or my savior? Could it be that I am not even allowed to receive my benefactor in this mansion? " Leng Lingqi was obviously unhappy.

However, Leng Xingyi didn't even want to bother with Leng Lingqi, so his tone was extremely displeased, "As a Patriarch, am I not allowed to ask about this?"

"You two don't have to hold back. If the Patriarch wants an identity certificate, then I have an object here." Tian Li didn't have any obvious interest in the conflict between the two, but he didn't want to continue making things difficult for Leng Lingqi.

After Tian Li finished speaking, he carefully took out a strange object from his sleeves. Leng Lingqi was extremely curious and kept staring at it.

The item didn't look that special. It was nothing more than a dull wooden hairpin. There was nothing attractive about it.

Only, Leng Xingyi didn't seem to think that way. The moment he saw the wooden hairpin, the expression in his eyes changed.

His originally fierce eyes suddenly had a hint of gentleness mixed within. Leng Xingyi unceasingly rubbed the old wooden hairpin in his hand, not saying a word for a long while.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Leng Lingqi had no choice but to break into such an awkward situation.

It looked like Tian Li and Leng Xingyi were related, could they be related by the same leg?

Leng Lingqi could not help but start to think of all sorts of possibilities.

"I wonder where little brother obtained this item?" Leng Xingyi's hostility towards Tian Li had already dispersed by a large amount.

Leng Xingyi's reaction was naturally within Tian Li's expectations, he would never do something that he was not confident of, "This is only an item for an old friend, I only accepted the request to hand this hairpin to the Patriarch."

It seemed like Tian Li couldn't keep open Tian Li's mouth, so Leng Xingyi gave up. He turned around and said to Leng Lingqi: "Since you are an esteemed guest, you should be treated well.

Leng Xingyi seemed to be asking for Leng Lingqi's opinion, but in reality, he was just making arrangements.

"No need, I'm living pretty well right now." Tian Li was also not someone who liked to take advantage of others, so he did not have any intentions of getting close to Leng Xingyi.

Leng Xingyi chatted with Tian Li for a while longer because he wanted to know more about his old friends. However, they didn't manage to get any valuable information from him, so they just left the conversation.

When they returned to their residence, Leng Lingqi unexpectedly discovered that their small, dilapidated house had become lively.

A group of servants were cleaning and bringing some things, it was extremely busy, just as Leng Lingqi was wondering, a maid came over.

"Miss, we have everything we need. If you need anything, just tell us." After that, he waited respectfully for Leng Lingqi to reply.

The sun really did rise from the west. It seemed that it had really basked in the light of others.

Leng Lingqi secretly glanced towards Tian Li's direction, only to realize that he did not seem to be very interested in these things.

"This place should have been like this a long time ago." Tian Li had probably realized long ago that this so called Third Miss was actually being treated differently in the family. It was truly a desolate sight.

Forget it, let's go back and cultivate.

Just as Leng Lingqi returned to her room and sat down, shshesneaked in. Even when she was done, he did not forget to quietly close the door.

Xiao Luzi turned around and saw Leng Lingqi's playful smile, "What are you looking at, have you never seen anyone as cute as me?"

After Leng Lingqi heard this, she pursed her lips and did not comment.

"That unicorn is really annoying. Every day when he sees me, he can't help but want to rub me from head to toe, causing me to constantly change between human and furnace." When he thought about the One-horned Beast, Xiao Luzi's face filled with grievance.

It was really one thing after another!

After Xiao Luzi finished feeling depressed, his eyes started to continuously size up Leng Lingqi's room. He suddenly saw the Monster Core that was thrown to the side after Leng Lingqi finished washing the energy.

"Oh my god, how can you waste monster cores like this?" Xiao Luzi could not believe his own eyes.

Leng Lingqi was a little confused by Xiao Luzi's reaction, "Otherwise, what would happen? Could it be that he directly ate it?"

Seeing Leng Lingqi's ignorant look, Xiao Luzi shook his head, "What a waste of heaven's gift. Do you know that the energy in the Monster Core is extremely complex and hard to absorb?

Leng Lingqi knew this logic, but she didn't have any way to avoid this problem.

Xiao Luzi proudly placed his hands on his waist, "Naturally, you have to find me for this kind of thing. There is a type of pill called Qi Gathering Pill, which is able to completely extract and lock 100% of the magic core's energy into the pill."

How could there be such a good thing? Why hadn't she heard of it?
