Chapter 1128: Chapter 1122: The Past

"Grandfather Ye, I have now returned to the family, and the ceremony for recognition of ancestors and return to the clan is set for tomorrow. I would like to ask you if you are familiar with an elder from our Li Family named Li Haoge." Li Changlin felt quite complicated towards Ye Haoshen.

On one hand, this old man could be considered the chief cause of his separation from his parents and loved ones, but in Li Changlin’s heart, he held no resentment towards the old man.

He understood that even if he stayed with the Li Family, he would only lead a slightly better life at most.

Without Ye Haoshen, he would never have the opportunity to meet Ruonan, Ziwei, and Xi Yao.

Moreover, he wouldn’t have the chance to learn his current martial arts, so in Li Changlin’s heart, he was filled with more gratitude than anything towards the old man.

If the old man had not taken a liking to him back then, Li Changlin’s life would indeed be different, but it certainly wouldn’t be as exciting as it is now.

Perhaps, without being taken away by Ye Haoshen, his life wouldn’t be much different from Li Changfeng’s. He might have a bit of talent, but definitely wouldn’t be outstanding. At best, he might be just like Huang Yingjie or Huo Hongxing, but he would ultimately not be able to become the next successor of the Li Family Head.

Because of this, Li Changlin saw things more clearly. He knew that Grandfather Ye gave him a completely different life, and he shouldn’t harbor any resentment.

"You’re talking about Li Haoge, huh!" Upon hearing Li Changlin’s question, Ye Haoshen fell into reminiscence, "That junior is quite commendable. I remember meeting him eighty years ago when he was just a half-step into Void Energy, not particularly a genius. What, has Li Haoge actually become the ancestor of your family now?"

"Grandfather Ye, the elder seems to be older than you," Li Changlin was momentarily taken aback, but then thought of something, "The elder said that eighty years ago you were just a young man and your cultivation was only at the Boundary of Virtual Energy, but you already possessed the Power of Six Dragons!"

"That was an illusion created by your grandfather," Ye Haoshen explained with a smile. Back then, he was traveling in the Shenlong Continent and happened upon Li Haoge. He found him to be quite acceptable and so he assumed a false identity to discuss martial arts with him. Unexpectedly, this discussion resulted in the creation of an elder for the Li Family.

"Today, I had a contest with the elder, and he broke through to the Power of Four Dragons during our clash." Li Changlin spoke of the confrontation he had with Li Haoge that very morning. In fact, it was a token of tribute, his expression revealing his pride, which the astute Ye Haoshen easily saw through, recognizing that the young man was clearly here to flatter me, to lavish praise upon me.

He sighed softly, with a solemn expression he advised, "Changlin, never let success go to your head. The foundation of the Eight Great Families is beyond your imagination. These families have intricate connections with the top sects of Different World. You must never take things lightly. The Ten Great Divine Artifacts are of paramount importance. Without them, Xi Yao would truly be dead!"

"Xi Yao!" Mentioning Ye Xiyao, Li Changlin’s expression immediately became serious, "Rest assured, Grandfather Ye, I will definitely not let anything happen to Xi Yao!"

"I hope you can do it, for you are the last hope of Grandfather Ye," Ye Haoshen looked affectionately at Li Changlin, his tone earnest, "But you must also remember one thing, that is to take good care of yourself. Although your time is now limited, I do not wish for you to act rashly. Everything must be carefully planned. Without absolute certainty, you must not take risks!"

Ye Haoshen had paid a heavy price to pass on the God Tycoon Cultivation System to Li Changlin.

And not only him, but Pure Yang Hall also expended the cultivation of several experts.

For a plan that took twenty years to prepare, Ye Haoshen did not want it to fall through due to Li Changlin’s negligence.

"Grandfather, rest assured, I will absolutely not act on impulse!" Li Changlin made a solemn promise. He wasn’t a fool; he knew he was related to the safety of Xi Yao. If anything were to happen to him, then Xi Yao would truly be without hope. Thus, he’d rather make all preparations thoroughly and would not act hastily to alert the enemy.

Afterward, the two spoke at length, and Ye Haoshen offered Li Changlin many suggestions, such as feints, diversions, lures, and other strategies, all implying that he must definitely not alert the Seven Great Families.

Li Changlin listened and agreed to each one.

He knew that Grandfather Ye would not harm him because if he harmed him, it would mean harming Xi Yao.

Li Changlin faintly felt that Xi Yao’s background and identity must be extraordinary, perhaps even deeply connected to Grandfather Ye. However, he wasn’t overly curious about these matters.

Currently, in his heart, he only hoped that Xi Yao would be safe and he could quickly obtain the Ice Soul Snow Lotus. He really wished he could cure the terminal illness Xi Yao was suffering from and then live a joyous life with her, side by side.

After ending the conversation, Li Changlin put away his phone. The sky was gradually darkening outside when Li Xiaoya’s cheerful voice came, "Brother, brother, are you awake?"

"Xiaoya, come in. The door’s unlocked." Li Changlin sat up from the bed. He had been leaning against the headboard conversing with his grandfather until then.

Hearing the response from inside, Li Xiaoya happily pushed open the door and walked in.

Pausing at the door, Zeng Yi hesitated for a moment and didn’t follow in. Li Changlin had already seen her and nodded with a smile. Zeng Yi quickly gave a respectful bow.

Now that the two shared a master-apprentice relationship, Zeng Yi had long discarded any such extravagant hopes.

Of course, this was also because Zeng Yi had been practicing the Nine Yin Divine Skill, which gradually balanced the energies in her body, and she would no longer become impulsive as before.

"Brother, is Xiaoya back? Oh, it’s Miss Zeng. Why are you standing at the door? Let’s go in together." Qiu Yingying’s voice came from outside, and Li Changlin smiled as he took Li Xiaoya’s hand, allowing her to sit down beside the bed. At this moment, Qiu Yingying also pulled Zeng Yi into the chamber.

"Yingying." Seeing Qiu Yingying enter, Li Xiaoya quickly greeted her with a smile. Li Ming had already informed her of the family’s events on the way home, which had greatly angered Li Xiaoya. However, upon learning that her brother had crippled Li Changfeng’s martial prowess, her heart settled somewhat.

"Xiaoya." Qiu Yingying responded with a smile, then sat down next to Li Xiaoya with Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yi was somewhat helpless, while Li Changlin was bemusedly touching his nose, but he refrained from saying anything.
