Chapter 572: Chapter 238 Li Family Council
Not long after,
Lin Jing and his two companions arrived at the Li Family estate.
As soon as Lin Jing reached the entrance of the Li Family estate, he looked up, noticing that the place was mostly the same as before, and aside from a reduced sense of antiquity that came with being a heritage family, not much else had changed.
It seemed that Li Qingqing was nostalgic, keeping the estate’s previous appearance even in the rebuilding process.
At the gate of the Li Family estate stood two young Foundation Establishment Cultivators on guard, neither of whom Lin Jing recognized.
These two were probably younger members of the Li Family who had come of age after the disaster with the Howling Sky Wolf Clan.
...
When they saw Lin Jing’s group approaching, the two guards immediately turned their attention towards them.
It was at this moment that Little Sparrow, perhaps catching sight of familiar surroundings, fluttered its wings and flew straight towards the Li Family’s inner courtyard.
Little Sparrow did not hide its cultivation, and its frightening presence made it clear to anyone that it was not to be trifled with.
The two Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the gate, upon seeing Little Sparrow flying towards them, were so frightened that they froze on the spot.
However,
Little Sparrow paid no heed to them and swiftly flew past, disappearing into the Li Family courtyard.
Only after Little Sparrow had entered did the two recover from their shock.
Seeing Lin Jing’s group continue to approach, the two guards became vigilant once more.
It was then that Lin Jing spoke up:
“There’s no need to be nervous…”
“We’re here to see someone from the Li Family.”
Hearing Lin Jing say this, the two guards relaxed a little, though they still were somewhat cautious.
After all, they couldn’t discern the levels of cultivation of Lin Jing’s party, which clearly indicated that Lin Jing’s group were much higher in cultivation than themselves.
It was very likely that all three were Golden Core Cultivators.
So, one of them plucked up the courage to approach Lin Jing and the others, greeting them with a cupped fist salute:
“Esteemed seniors…”
“May I ask who you are seeking at our Li Family?”
Lin Jue then spoke up:
“We’re looking for Sister Qingqing.”
“You’re looking for the family head?” The guard was puzzled.
Before he could ask further questions, a surge of energy suddenly burst forth from within the Li Family courtyard, quickly approaching the entrance where they stood.
In just a short moment, the energy drew near.
Then,
they saw an excited Li Qingqing flying out of the courtyard, with Little Sparrow, who had just entered, perched on her shoulder.
When the guards at the entrance saw Li Qingqing, they immediately saluted and said to her:
“Family head!”
Li Qingqing quickly stepped in front of Lin Jing, hardly able to hide her excitement, and after giving Lin Jing a good look, she said:
“Brother Lin Jing…”
“You’ve arrived!”
Lin Jing nodded and replied:
“Hmm…”
“We’ve arrived.”
The two guards at the door were completely stunned when they heard Li Qingqing call this person ‘Brother Lin Jing.’
It had never crossed their minds that the individual visiting was their family head’s brother.
At the same time, they were also confused,
as they only knew that their family head indeed had a brother named Li Tangyu. They had seen his portrait, and it was definitely not the person before them.
This ‘brother’ of their family head was a complete mystery to them.
However,
since it concerned their family head, the two guards kept their doubts to themselves and dared not inquire further.
Lin Jue also stepped forward at this time, speaking with a smile:
“Sister Qingqing…”
“It seems you only have eyes for my brother, ignoring both Ye Yun and me.”
“I’m truly heartbroken.”
Li Qingqing’s face flushed at these words,
then she turned her head and shot Lin Jue a glare:
“How dare I forget about you?”
“After being apart for so long, you’ve grown so bold as to tease me, just wait until I teach you a lesson…”
Seeing the tide turn against him, Lin Jue quickly pleaded for mercy:
“Stop…”
“Sister Qingqing, I was wrong!”
“Please spare me…”
“That’s right, he needs to be taught a lesson…” Lin Jing agreed with a nod.
Lin Jue protested the injustice:
“Brother, you can’t do this to me…”
“I’m helping you, after all…”
…
…
After the laughter and teasing, the three followed Li Qingqing into the inner courtyard of the Li Family estate.
As they walked, Lin Jing looked around.
The Li Family estate was just the way it had been before, virtually unchanged.
After looking around, Lin Jing then asked Li Qingqing:
“Did you do all this?”
Li Qingqing nodded and then said:@@novelbin@@
“Ever since I came back, I’ve often found myself missing the past.”
“Back then, Grandpa was still here…”
“And my brother, Brother Lin Jing, Sister Qing Ling, Zhang Yuan…”
“All of you were there too…”
“I think those were the happiest times.”
“So I had the entire courtyard renovated to restore it to the way it used to be.”
Lin Jing nodded:
“That’s…”
“Good…”
…
Sometime later,
they followed Li Qingqing into the inner courtyard of the Li Family estate.
After entering the inner courtyard, Li Qingqing turned around and said to Lin Jing:
“Brother Lin Jing…”
“Our Li Family is currently in the middle of an important meeting. How about I have someone take you to rest first? Once the meeting is over, I’ll come and find you.”
After speaking, Lin Jing looked at Li Qingqing and then inquired:
“Is it about the Yun Family matter?”
“We heard a bit about it on our way here…”
Li Qingqing fell silent for a moment, then after a short while, she nodded and replied:
“Yes…”
“It is indeed due to some issues with the Yun Family.”
Lin Jing then said:
“Since it’s about that matter with the Yun Family, I think we could all go in and listen. If there is really a difficult situation, we might even be able to help…”
What do you think?
