A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 223 Bad News Spreads to Li's Mansion

"The Sect Master is here today. What instructions do you have?"

In the morning, Huanyu was startled by the sudden appearance of the Sect Master. Three days ago, she reported the incident of Jiangnan Mingli. Today, the Sect Master came in person. Could it be that he wanted to deal with Jiangnan Mingli personally? Thinking of this, Huanyu's hands clenched into fists involuntarily.

"There is something I need you to do right now." Sect leader Hong'a slowly helped Xuanyu up from her kneeling position and spoke softly.

"Please give me your instructions, Master." Xuanyu lowered her head and asked nervously.

"Isn't your sister Honghua being hunted by the Poisonous Insect Valley now? How about Yingmen secretly help your sister and help her become the master of the Poisonous Insect Valley?" The pair of eyes under Hong'a's black and white mask looked at the snow outside the house, revealing a deep smile.

"Why does Yingmen want to help Honghua?" After hearing what the sect leader said, although Yan Yu was a little surprised, she felt relieved and continued to ask in a puzzled manner.

"What? You don't want Yingmen to help her? Can you really bear to watch your sister being hunted by the Poison Insect Valley, hiding from place to place, living a precarious life?" Sect leader Hong'a turned around and looked at Yanyu, asking with a sneer.

"We no longer have any sisterly feelings for each other. Her life or death has nothing to do with me. But Xuanyu doesn't understand why the Ying Sect, which has always kept its distance from the Poisonous Insect Valley, wants to deal with the Poisonous Insect Valley at this time?" Xuanyu lowered her head slightly and replied in a calm voice to the sect leader in front of her.

"As an outsider, I really shouldn't meddle in the grudges between you sisters, but helping your sister deal with the Poisonous Insect Valley is naturally a favor I'm doing for the sake of Yingmen's ability to gain a foothold in southern Xinjiang in the future." Sect leader Hong'a sighed with pretended regret, and then said.

He was naturally not interested in other people's family affairs, nor did he care whether the three people who poisoned the former left protector were hiding in the Poison Insect Valley, but the words of Youmei gave Hong'a an inspiration. Youmei was willing to flatter the crown prince Yan Qiao, but Hong'a didn't want to. He wanted the Shadow Clan to completely get rid of the control of the West Moon Kingdom and restore their former freedom. Therefore, expanding the power in the south was his primary plan.

"The leader wants Xuanyu to go and help secretly? But what about the famous Li from Jiangnan?" Xuanyu sneered in her heart at this time. The Shadow Sect only thought of doing a favor at this time, but it was too late. Her sister had already captured the Poisonous Insect Valley on her own.

"With the death of Li Xingyuan, the pillar of the family, Jiangnan will be in chaos without our intervention. In this case, the prince can handle it. Besides, all the energy of Xiyue Kingdom is now focused on the battle with Lang Kingdom, so how can it take care of this side?" Sect leader Hong'a disagreed, slowly sat down in front of Yanyu, and continued.

He never understood why the Crown Prince Yan Qiao asked the Shadow Clan to secretly deal with the Jiangnan famous Li from the Jingsong Kingdom, who was just a small rich man in Jiangnan. No matter how rich the Jingsong Kingdom was, it couldn't win a battle on the battlefield, and why did the powerful Xiyue Kingdom have to do this? Therefore, Hong'a never took the task of dealing with the Jiangnan famous Li too seriously. He had asked about it before only to deal with the upper management. Now that the power of the Shadow Clan was firmly in his hands, Hong'a naturally didn't care anymore. Instead of dealing with the Jiangnan famous Li, he was more eager to get rid of the Crown Prince Yan Qiao's interference in the Shadow Clan.

However, the proud words of the Sect Master Hong'a made Yan Yu suspicious. Only the head of the Shadow Sect could contact the Crown Prince Yan Qiao. The other people in the Shadow Sect had never even seen the Crown Prince, so they would not mention the name of the Crown Prince in front of others. The Sect Master's abnormal behavior today made her vaguely guess his purpose of looking for the secret medicine Gu Xin. Who needs him, the Sect Master of the Shadow Sect, to control him with medicine? Perhaps it was only the Shadow Sect Head that he could directly contact, and now it seems that he has succeeded.

The sect leader committed treason, but Yan Yu was not concerned. Instead, she was secretly delighted. Compared with the mysterious leader, this sect leader was easier to deal with.

"Also, this secret medicine, the Gu Heart, is very useful. Unfortunately, there is too little of it. Find a way to get some more back." There was silence in the room for a moment, and the man in the black and white mask spoke again and gave orders.

"Yes." Yan Yu bowed solemnly, with a half-smile on her lowered face, which was thought-provoking.

Under Zeng Si's escort, Li Yunye and his party left Jicheng and arrived ten miles away from Qile City two days later.

Li Yunye was about to go home. He didn't know how his mother would react after hearing the bad news, but he could sense that the Li family would be in turmoil. So he had to cheer up to deal with the chaos in the Li family. Even if he had no appetite, he forced himself to eat something. Under Ange's careful care, he regained some energy and his face became rosy, but the cold pain in his feet still tortured him from time to time.

While resting outside Qile City, Ange went into the city alone to inform Shopkeeper Yuan, who was overwhelmed with grief and almost burst into tears. But after Ange's consolation, he realized that this was not the time to cry, so he hurried to Li's house to let someone inform Madam and Aunt Xin, and then he took several servants with Ange to go out of the city to pick up the young master.

Mrs. Li and Aunt Xin were shocked when they heard the bad news. Mrs. Li was heartbroken and cried bitterly in the plum garden. Fortunately, she was comforted to hear that her son Li Yunye was safe. Although she and Master Li were like enemies when they met, either quarreling or showing cold faces, they had lived under the same roof for more than 20 years. Even if there was no gratitude, there was still some affection because of her son.

Aunt Xin in the Bamboo Garden did not cry after hearing the news, but the light in her eyes dimmed suddenly. There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. Her lips trembled slightly. She turned around and staggered back to her room but fainted at the door. The maid Bier, who had already cried like a tearful person, hurriedly exclaimed and came forward.

For a moment, the Li Mansion seemed to have fallen. Wailing and shouting echoed throughout the mansion. Li Yunye had not returned yet, and the Li family was already in chaos.

When Shopkeeper Yuan left the city and saw the young master, he couldn't hold back and burst into tears while hugging the young master. Li Yunye, who finally calmed down, burst into tears again under the influence of Shopkeeper Yuan, and several servants also stood by and wiped their tears.

Ange's eyes were red, but he controlled his emotions in time and went forward to comfort the two people who were crying. Then he found that Master Zeng had disappeared. Ange just said that people in the martial arts world are used to being alone, so this kindness can only be repaid in the future.

After crying, the group split into two groups. Li Yunye, Manager Yuan and others escorted the bodies of Master Li and the housekeeper back to Qile City, while Ange turned around and headed towards the farm with the bodies of the two coachmen.
