He looked back, but just looking at his back, he was much thinner than before.

If I hadn't overheard the conversation between Li Yan and Cao Yingying before, I might have thought that this was a scene of a filial son grieving for his father because of this pitiful look.

The purpose of my visit this time was very clear, so I asked with a cold face: "Where are my dad and the others?"

He was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect me to be so aggressive.

"Wait a minute, they should be resting in the guest room now. I'll have someone take you to find your father." As he said that, he raised his hand, and a maid came over.

As I followed the maid to the guest room, I continued to look around.

The layout here has not changed, but the power of yin and yang is somewhat deviated, which makes me feel that this place has a sense of disharmony, as if there is something hidden behind it.

"We're here." The maid took me to the door of the largest guest room and stopped.

Before I had time to speak, she left as if running away.

I knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Cao Yingying's voice came from the door.

"I'm here to pick you up."

Suddenly, the door opened from the inside.

The moment I opened the door, Cao Yingying rushed towards me.

"Xiao Zhi! You're here! I thought that woman was lying to us!"

I calmly avoided her pounce and looked indoors. My father pushed the wheelchair and came towards me, looking at me with complicated eyes.

I walked up and asked, "Dad, are you all okay?"

Dad shook his head and then said, "Xiao Zhi, you shouldn't have come."

I was stunned: "Why?"

The father sighed: "Oh... How can you come and leave whenever you want in the Li family? After all, I have been in the world for so many years, and I know some rules. Does the Li family want you to do anything?

matter?"

I waved my hand: "How come? Li Shun is just my apprentice. Isn't it normal for you to come here and play for a while?"

On the other hand, Cao Yingying immediately shouted: "Liar!"

I said calmly: "What do children know? I didn't lie to you."

She looked around and suddenly stepped forward and said to me mysteriously: "Listen to me, this guy is definitely not here for us to play with, he just wants to bury us with him!"

"Yesterday, when the servants invited us to eat, I heard them gossiping privately. It seems that there is no one in the Li family now. It's because strange things have started to happen since the head of the Li family died."

"So far, one-third of the Li family's servants have died, and a third have escaped. The remaining ones are either doing it for money, risking their lives, or they have signed a deed of betrayal and are unable to leave."

I was shocked: "How long has the head of the Li family been dead?"

Dad sighed: "It's been half a month. We've only been here for a few days, but we've already heard a lot of rumors. Master Li still wants me to persuade you to help him, but Xiaozhi, it's not me who said this, you

It's best not to interfere..."

I touched my chin: "It's okay. Let me see what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd first. If it doesn't work, I can still find someone to help. I said I will rescue you this time, so I must take you back."

Dad looked at me and nodded solemnly, while Cao Yingying's face was filled with emotion: "You are so kind, you are worthy of being my husband!"

I waved my hand and quickly told her to stop: "Stop yelling. You will cause misunderstanding again soon."

Cao Yingying was obviously a little dissatisfied. Before she started mumbling, I went out directly.

I called the great monk, and I walked with him to the mourning hall.

Halfway through, I met Aunt Bai who was being supported by Li Yan.

I am suspicious of other people in the Li family, but Aunt Bai has always been very kind. Until now, her only support has died. No matter what the reason is, I still have to be kind to her.

"Aunt Bai, please... send me my condolences." I walked up to her and said softly to her.

Aunt Bai raised her head, her eyes were swollen from crying, but she still gave me a smile: "Little Taoist Priest, you are here again. This time it happened suddenly, and I also object to Shun'er bringing your family directly.

, but we really can’t help it…”

As she spoke, she started crying again, while Li Yan quickly stepped forward to wipe her tears.

"Auntie, please have a good rest. I'll check the situation first." I didn't dare to say anything for a while, so I had to comfort her first.

She looked at me and hesitated to speak, then finally sighed and left.

When she passed by Li Yan, she said in a low voice: "Don't be ignorant."

I didn't reply and continued walking to the mourning hall.

When he stepped into the mourning hall, Li Shun was still kneeling in front of the memorial tablet, with only one bodyguard guarding the door. This was the most awkward formation I have seen in a long time.

I walked in and stood behind him: "I won't beat around the bush with you. What are you planning to do? Why do you want to arrest my family?"

There's something not right about this place, and I have to be constantly on guard.

"Master, I also had my reasons. It was really not my intention to arrest your family. I... was at the end of my rope." He didn't look at me when he spoke, still kneeling.

I sneered and said, "Don't be fooled. Your father was very lively last time we met. Why is he missing this time? Do you dare to say that you didn't do anything?"

He fell silent.

The two were silent for a while, then he stood up and turned to look at me.

The moment I saw his face, I was suddenly stunned.

One of his eyes was tightly closed and looked very dry. If I guessed correctly, the eyeball inside was gone. Moreover, his face was pale at this time, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.

"Your eyes are..."

He looked at me with his only remaining eye: "Master, as you can see, if I can't find you now, I will die."

I frowned, he was the son of Dragon Vein, and ordinary innocent souls couldn't get close to him, let alone steal his eyes directly.

Moreover, the dragon vein energy in his body is gradually disappearing, and all signs seem to indicate that his end is approaching.

How could such a weak person attack his father?

I had to get serious. Now I had to get involved in their family's affairs: "What's going on? What on earth have you experienced here?"

"That was half a month ago. I told you before that I was forced to stay in this city. You probably know the reason. The dragon vein created me, but it also tied me down."

The principle is very simple. The Li family seized the Dragon Vein, so the Dragon Vein regarded them as its own appendages by default. It was not that they controlled the Dragon Vein, but that the Dragon Vein rewarded them by the way.

But this means that if something happens to the Dragon Vein, the Li family will be the first to bear the brunt and suffer the backlash.

Li Xiong's death was the beginning.

That day came suddenly, for no reason at all, and he was found dead on his desk.

Li Shun panicked and immediately called Taoist Master Qiu and Brother Dao.

But after the two people came to see it, they shook their heads and said they couldn't control it.
