Chapter 377: Chapter 371: Welcoming

Li Mo frowned and said, "Young Master Yan, the Zhao Family has spared no expense to find you. You must be in life-threatening danger. If you truly need Immortal Jade, I, Li Mo, can give it to you."

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled and said, "One must not receive unrighteous rewards. How could I, Yan Rufeng, take the Li Family’s Immortal Jade?"

Immediately, Yan Rufeng added, "Patriarch Li, there’s no need to say anything more. Just inform the Zhao Family right now and have them send someone over."

Li Mo shook his head and said, "Young Master Yan, you saved my daughter Xihan from a life of misery. You are already her savior. As Xihan’s father and the patriarch of the Li Family, I could never do something so ungrateful."

"Heh."

Yan Rufeng smiled lightly and said, "Alright, since Patriarch Li is unwilling to do so, there’s nothing I can do. However..."

Yan Rufeng looked at the Communication Immortal Sword in his hand and chuckled inwardly.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, the Communication Jade Scroll in Yan Rufeng’s hand shot out like a beam of light.

Seeing this, Li Mo exclaimed, "Young Master Yan, why did you do that?"

Yan Rufeng spread his hands and smiled, "Since Patriarch Li is unwilling, I, Yan Rufeng, will have to do it myself."

"Sigh!"

Li Mo sighed and said, "Young Master Yan, you are too impulsive. Doing this is akin to digging your own grave."

"Hahaha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed and said, "Patriarch Li, you worry too much. If I’m not mistaken, within a quarter of an hour, Zhao Shuo will arrive here with his Dragon Chariot to invite me, Yan Rufeng, to the Zhao Family."

Li Mo shook his head helplessly, thinking, "I don’t know where Yan Rufeng gets his confidence from. The Zhao Family is such a formidable presence. With Zhao Shuo’s temper, he wouldn’t just come to the Li Family to invite Yan Rufeng. I’m afraid my Li Family will also be implicated..."

With a worried look, Li Mo paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He finally sat down at the tea table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.

"Sigh..."

Yan Rufeng heard Li Mo’s sigh, nearly bursting out laughing and almost causing himself internal injury from holding it in.

The sound of hurried footsteps approached, and Li Xihan, smiling, ran up to Yan Rufeng, cheerfully saying, "Young Master Yan, I have good news to tell you."

Yan Rufeng asked curiously, "What good news? Let’s hear it!"

Li Xihan beamed and said, "Young Master Yan, before I tell you, I want you to guess."

"Oh."

Yan Rufeng said, "Miss Xihan, I really can’t guess. Please just tell me."

"Oh!"

Li Xihan pouted and said, "Just try guessing, it’s no fun if you don’t!"

"Xihan, stop fooling around. Just say what you have to say!"

Worried, Li Mo scolded Li Xihan.

"Hmph!"

Li Xihan turned around, pouting, and said angrily, "I was going to tell Young Master Yan that the maid working in the kitchen is an old friend of his from the Mortal Domain. But now that you’ve yelled at me, I don’t feel like saying anything anymore."

"What?"

Yan Rufeng hurriedly walked up to Li Xihan and asked, "Miss Xihan, where is she? Quickly, take me to her!"

Seeing Yan Rufeng’s eagerness, Li Xihan felt a mix of fear and happiness inside.

"Young Master Yan, don’t be hasty. I’ve already brought her to my room. She’s probably still tidying up. Please wait here for a moment."

Yan Rufeng seemed to have guessed that the maid Li Xihan mentioned was likely Qingyue.

Thinking of this, Yan Rufeng’s heart started racing.

Qingyue and Tian Lang ascended to the Immortal World around the same time. Qingyue must know Tian Lang’s current whereabouts.

Furthermore, Qingyue and Tian Lang ascended a few days before Yi Mu. One of them might know Yi Mu’s whereabouts.

The thought of soon finding Yi Mu excited Yan Rufeng.

"Miss Xihan, is the maid you mentioned called Qingyue?"

Li Xihan blinked and smiled. Her big eyes under long lashes looked particularly charming.

"Young Master Yan, so you do know Qingyue. It seems my efforts weren’t in vain."

"Ha-ha!"

Yan Rufeng laughed and said, "Great! I didn’t expect to find Sister Qingyue so quickly."

"Wow."

Li Xihan exclaimed in surprise, "I didn’t know Miss Qingyue was your sister, Young Master Yan."

Yan Rufeng nodded and smiled.

"Miss Xihan, can you take me near your room so I can wait for Sister Qingyue?"

"Hee-hee!"

Li Xihan giggled and said, "Since Young Master Yan requests, how could I refuse?"

As Li Xihan was about to take Yan Rufeng to her room, chants echoed from above the Li Family residence.

"The Immortal Monarch has arrived. Li Family members, come outside to kneel and welcome."

"Heh-heh!"

Yan Rufeng coldly laughed.

"Zhao Shuo sure knows how to make an entrance."

Li Mo, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, disappeared in a flash of rainbow light before Yan Rufeng’s eyes.

Yan Rufeng shook his head and muttered, "With me, Yan Rufeng, here, is there any need to go out and welcome Zhao Shuo?"

"An Immortal Monarch? I have never seen an Immortal Monarch before."

Dazed, Li Xihan murmured, "It’s so unexpected, so shocking. I didn’t think the Immortal Monarch himself would visit our Li Family..."

Yan Rufeng glanced at the stunned Li Xihan and said calmly, "Miss Xihan, first let’s go subdue that Immortal Monarch, and then we’ll go see Sister Qingyue."

Li Xihan didn’t hear what Yan Rufeng said. She just followed him out of the courtyard gate.

Outside the Li Family courtyard, over a thousand Li Family members had already knelt down, led by Li Mo, who was sweating profusely and didn’t dare to speak.

A multicolored cloud descended, revealing a splendid small palace pulled by four black dragons.

After the dragons roared, the palace doors slowly opened. A beam of rainbow light revealed Zhao Shuo, with a golden halo above his head, majestically landing in front of Li Mo.

"Li Mo, where is the person depicted in the Communication Immortal Sword?"

Li Mo, still not daring to look up, stammered, "Re...reporting to Lord City Lord, Young Master Yan...Yan is in the inner courtyard."

"Young Master Yan, that’s the Emperor Yan. Zhao Shan will be saved."

Zhao Shuo raised an eyebrow, suppressed his joy, and sternly said, "In that case, quickly take me to meet Emperor Yan."

"Emperor Yan?"

Li Mo was puzzled but didn’t dare to ask. He was about to get up when he heard Yan Rufeng’s voice from behind.

"Zhao Shuo, I didn’t expect you to come see me with such fanfare. Lord City Lord, you are truly impressive."

Suddenly, a deathly silence fell over the Li Family courtyard. None of the Li Family members who had come to welcome Zhao Shuo could believe someone would dare to offend him in Feng City, let alone in their own Li Family.

All the Li Family members, including Li Mo and the recently emerged old patriarch Li Xing, felt their hearts in their throats.
