Chapter 457: Chapter 457 My Son

Li Tu was cultivating in his room when he suddenly received a notification from Li Yiming. He immediately started gathering all the information he had on Li Xiaoyao, then left for the main hall.

But before he could even leave the yard, a figure appeared, blocking his path.

“Hehe, Li Tu, where are you off to?” The person who came wasn’t just anybody; it was the Xie Family’s sixth son from the Xie Nan line, the same Xie Lao Liu who had a brief encounter with Li Xiaoyao in the antique shop. He was also a Mentalist with formidable spiritual power.

Li Tu was slightly startled. Xie Lao Liu appeared to be smiling amiably, but beneath that smile hid a hint of murderous intent, which made Li Tu extremely vigilant.

“The Family Head called for me.” Li Tu kept one hand behind his back, with his mobile phone already out from the Storage Ring, ready to call Li Yiming at any moment.

However, his small movement could not escape Xie Lao Liu’s eyes.

Xie Lao Liu’s fingers slightly curled, and his immense spiritual power silently isolated the courtyard from the outside world, preparing to kill him.

But just as he was about to make his move, a voice suddenly erupted from behind, causing him to withdraw his spiritual power in an instant.

“Li Tu, what are you dawdling for?” The aged voice carried an unassuming authority. Xie Lao Liu dispersed his thoughts, turned around, and with a smile said, “Third Elder, what a coincidence, running into you here.”

The newcomer was none other than Li Yiming. Although he had already informed Li Tu earlier, considering the potential impact this matter could have on the interests of certain people within the family, he wanted to ensure nothing went wrong and thus decided to come personally. Sure enough, he could feel an invisible force cutting off Li Tu’s residence from the outside world from afar.

Upon seeing Xie Lao Liu, Li Yiming couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. Those dogs of the Xie Family simply couldn’t hold back. If he had been a few steps slower, Li Tu might have already been killed.

Li Tu quickly put his phone away and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, “I just ran into Elder Xie and got held up for a few minutes.”

Li Yiming gave a noncommittal grunt, turning to Xie Lao Liu, “Jie Jun, did you need Li Tu for something?”

Xie Lao Liu shook his head, “I just happened to be passing by, and noticed this young man seems to have improved his cultivation. I thought I’d offer him some advice, but since the Third Elder has matters with him, I will leave it be.”

Such foolish words could only fool children; Li Yiming would not believe them.

“This is the Li Family. Stay where you belong and don’t wander around. We have many forbidden places in the Li Family that outsiders like you are not allowed to tread.” Li Yiming’s tone was indifferent, but suddenly turned harsh as he shouted, “Understood?”

Li Yiming’s voice, infused with dense spiritual energy, caught Xie Lao Liu off guard, dizzying him.

“Li Tu, follow me.” Dropping this sentence, Li Yiming departed with Li Tu, leaving behind a pale-faced Xie Lao Liu.

Xie Lao Liu watched Li Yiming’s departing figure, his eyes filled with resentment. His fists were clenched tightly, with veins bulging. After a few seconds, he turned and walked back the way he came.

…

Li Yiming led Li Tu to the grand hall. Once inside, Li Yiming flicked his wrist, and the double doors closed tightly behind them, the somber atmosphere making Li Tu a bit nervous.

Although he was a direct descendant of the Li Family, he was still about to face the Family Head of the Li Family, which naturally caused him some anxiety.

Inside the living room, Li Chengfeng sat at the lower right corner of the Eight Immortals table, with his eyes closed and eyebrows slightly furrowed, clearly preoccupied with concerns.

The sound of footsteps made Li Chengfeng open his eyes, and his gaze softened slightly when it swept over Li Tu.

“The information,” Li Yiming said softly.

Li Tu quickly took out photos and a stack of papers from his Storage Ring, respectfully placing them on the table beside Li Chengfeng.

“Thank you,” said Li Chengfeng with utmost politeness, not exhibiting any condescension despite his status as the Clan Leader.

Li Chengfeng began with the photos, a total of twenty, which were candid shots of Li Xiaoyao from various angles. These photos were obtained by Li Tu through his contacts within the public security system.

Though the resolution of the photos was not very high, Li Chengfeng could still make out that the facial features of the person in them bore a terrifying resemblance to his own.

Even though his exterior appeared undisturbed, the slight contraction of his pupils indicated to Li Yiming and Li Tu that the Clan Leader’s emotions were certainly not as calm as his expression.

After viewing the photos, Li Chengfeng picked up a stack of papers to read. They contained all of Li Xiaoyao’s information, which, with the Li Family’s power, was extremely simple to investigate.

Li Xiaoyao’s birthplace and everything he had done in his twenty-eight years were fully detailed on these sheets, without the slightest gap.

However, there were still things beyond the Li Family’s reach, for instance, the matters between Li Xiaoyao, Nie Xiaoqian, and Xiaoqing, which they were unable to find out.

“Huff~” Li Chengfeng placed the materials on the table and took a deep breath, his heart filled with mixed emotions, including a trace of nervousness.

It had been many years since he last felt the emotion of nervousness.

“Clan Leader, there’s also a video,” Li Tu said softly.

“What video?”

“The video of Li Xiaoyao killing Third Elder Li Shisan.”

Li Chengfeng’s brows furrowed, “Li Shisan is dead?”

Li Yiming explained from the side, “This matter is quite complex, let me briefly explain it to you.”

Thereupon, Li Yiming recounted the events with concise language. Once finished, Li Chengfeng’s expression turned grim.

“They knew he might be my son, yet they dared to strike at him? The Xie Family has some nerve!” Li Chengfeng’s voice was cold, and with a heavy slam of his palm on the table, the wooden table instantly turned into dust.

Li Yiming sipped his tea and said, “Chengfeng, let’s talk about this matter later. You should watch the video first.”

Li Tu took out his phone, opened the video, and handed it over.

This video was the live footage of the day when Li Xiaoyao had killed Li Shisan.

The video was clearer than the photos, and when Li Chengfeng saw Li Xiaoyao descending from the sky, with a face 80 percent similar to his own, he trembled slightly.

“It’s him, it must be! That’s my son!” Li Chengfeng could no longer contain his excitement and spoke out loud.

After watching the video, Li Chengfeng stood up and said, “Where is he? I must see him immediately.”

Li Yiming replied, “Chengfeng, don’t be impulsive. We should think this through thoroughly.”

“Think it through thoroughly? If we keep on thinking, my son will be killed!” The thought of the Xie Family daring to harm Li Xiaoyao behind his back ignited an endless flame of anger in Li Chengfeng’s heart.

“You are the head of the Li Family, just returned from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains; how can you leave immediately?” Li Yiming analyzed calmly, “Let Li Tu handle this matter. As for you, what you need to do now is to deal with some emerging factions within the Li Family.”

[Speechless, it’s been posted to the first volume again, do they want me dead?!!]
