Chapter 15 Watch, guard, or kill

"Spirit Infant Statue?"

Li Che's eyes were extremely cold, as expected...

Even if he moved into Xu's Woodcarving Shop and was protected by Xu, he still couldn't completely avoid the Spirit Infant Cult's coveting of Xixi!

Just after the birthday party, the Spirit Infant Cult showed up!

"The ghost is still lingering..."

Li Che clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

However, thinking back to the figure that had just disappeared, his brows furrowed.

"This Spirit Infant Statue has never appeared since our family moved into the Xu's compound, but it appeared today...The only contact with outsiders is the helpers and cooks invited from Chunfeng Tower."

"However, these helpers and cooks have long been sent out of the Xu's compound by housekeeper Sun and are not allowed to stay. Therefore, they can be ruled out. There are many masters in the surrounding courtyards. They are powerful and sensitive...but the other party was able to hide the Spirit Infant Statue from them and placed it in front of my courtyard..."

Li Che took a deep breath, and felt that the wind and snow between heaven and earth were a little colder.

A fierce look was reflected in the dark pupils.

"That is to say... this Lingying Sect believer... is likely to be an acquaintance in Xuji Woodcarving Shop!"

There are Lingying Sect members in Xuji Woodcarving Shop!

The chill seemed to penetrate his body through his pores at this moment.

"This possibility... is very high!"

"I was a little careless... where is there an absolutely safe place?"

Li Che shook his head and stared at the Lingying woodcarving on the ground with a cold face: "There is a Lingying Sect member in the woodcarving shop... who could it be?"

Faces flashed through Li Che's mind, but in the end he still couldn't be sure.

Shaking his head, Li Che grabbed the angry woodcarving on the ground, and the blood and qi surged out from under the membrane. His five fingers suddenly glowed with golden light. With a "pop", the woodcarving was instantly crushed.

"I will find you..."

"Don't underestimate the obsession of a father who protects his father."

...

...

"The Lingying statue...appeared outside your yard?"

The next day, Chen Dabao, who had slept soundly all night, suddenly froze when he heard Li Che's words.

"Do you suspect that there will be followers of the Lingying religion in the woodcarving shop?"

Chen Dabao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Li Che nodded, but he couldn't guess who it was.

"It is indeed very likely that he can appear outside the Xu family compound, even in the outer city, which is not an easy thing..."

"The followers of the Lingying Sect have long spread in Feilei City. If someone in the shop becomes a believer, it is indeed uncertain."

"No, it should be said that it will definitely happen. The Lingying Sect... If it wants to shake the rule of the major powerful families in Feilei City, it must place people, and the erosion of faith is indeed the most effective way."

Old Chen said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will check it out. It is not difficult to check... It is not easy to hide if you become a follower of the Lingying Sect. If I find out, I will tell you as soon as possible. You should also keep an eye on it and be on guard against it on weekdays."

"The third shopkeeper was sent out of the city to clear out the evil things in the strange temple. During this period... There is actually no one in charge in the shop, and it is also the best time for the other party to take action."

"But even if I really know the identity of the other party, I can't take action directly before I take action against Xiaochouxi..."

Old Chen frowned and said.

Li Che heard this and expressed his understanding.

The Lingying Sect spread in Feilei City. Becoming a Lingying Sect believer may be hated by various forces, but they will not go out of their way to kill and purge them.

After all, before anything happens, it is just freedom of belief.

"But at least I know who it is. I will feel more at ease and can be more cautious."

Li Che said sincerely.

Hearing this, Lao Chen thought it made sense.

...

...

Lao Chen's investigation took three days.

During these three days, Li Che added some more time for cultivation. After all, the cultivation feedback given by the [Dragon Elephant King Kong] Dao Fruit made him full of energy for cultivation.

After three days of hard practice, the maturity of [Dragon Elephant King Kong] was piled up to 5%. When the power of the Dao Fruit was fully opened, it was more powerful than the perfect grinding skin, and the force could reach a thousand pounds.

However, it was only the perfect grinding skin after all.

In the training field, Li Che was sweating profusely, his skin was glowing red, the heat was rolling, and the air was hazy.

He put down the stone lock and lowered his eyelids.

"I want to break through to the stage of opening meridians now, and I need the method of meridian opening cultivation... But I can't go to find Xu Beihu. After all, the cultivation I showed to Xu Beihu now is only the great success of skin grinding..."

Two days ago, Xu Beihu came to check his cultivation, and Li Che showed his great success of skin grinding.

He did not fully reveal his strength of perfect skin grinding.

But despite this, Xu Beihu was already very surprised. In one year... he reached the great success of skin grinding. His talent has already surprised Xu Beihu.

Unfortunately, Xu Beihu said that if he wanted to learn the meridian opening cultivation method and the internal strength method... he needed to have perfect skin grinding.

Li Che was unwilling to reveal his strength of perfect skin grinding. One year of great success of skin grinding can be explained as extraordinary talent. Xu Beihu was only at this level at the beginning.

But if it was perfect skin grinding in one year, it would be too exaggerated...

"So, this meridian opening cultivation method and internal strength method... I have to find it myself."

Li Che changed into clean clothes, his eyes flickered, and he thought slightly.

"I have quite a bit of savings now, so I can go to the market in the outer city. There might be cultivation methods for sale there, but I have to hide my identity before going there."

After finishing his training, Li Che returned to the workshop of the wood carving shop.

A few days ago, I took on a wood carving job to carve an "Eight Treasures Exquisite Maitreya Statue". The other party asked for a fuller meaning, and the price given was actually a gold leaf, equivalent to one hundred taels!

This is the highest-priced wood carving job that Li Che has received so far!

Grasp the carving knife, gently penetrate into the wood, tear the wood tissue, and shake off the wood chips like flying flowers.

[Immortal Worker] Daoguo beat slightly, Li Che's eyes were focused, everything around him seemed to have disappeared at this moment, and in his mind, all the carving techniques of the Maitreya statue came to mind.

Lao Chen wore a wine gourd with pulp on his waist and knocked on the carved wooden door of Li Che's workshop with a serious face.

"Old Chen?"

Li Che asked softly as he was carving on the wood with a file in his hand.

"Found it." Lao Chen found a chair, sat down, opened the stopper of the gourd, took a sip of wine, and said in a deep voice.

"Who is it?" Li Che's eyes turned cold, and the movement of filing the wood with the file in his hand also stopped abruptly.

"Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop in the outer city. Over the past year, there have been quite a few wood carving masters and their families who believe in the Lingying Cult. When I checked, I was really shocked."

"But on the day when Xiao Xixi turned one year old, only one person who came to the banquet secretly believed in the Lingying Cult."

Old Chen shook his head, with a hint of horror in his eyes.

The expansion of the Lingying Cult... was faster and more terrifying than he imagined.

Li Che didn't care about this, he was more concerned about who was eyeing Xixi.

"Who is it?"

Li Che asked again.

Old Chen sighed: "Steward Sun's second son, Sun Changbiao, has been married for four years and has never had a son. He is anxious. His wife was bewitched by the Lingying Cult, saying that worshiping the Lingying Cult can lead to children, so Sun Changbiao also worshiped. Go."

Sun Changbiao?

Li Che was stunned and thought of Butler Sun, who Xiao Yingying took the family to look after the yard.

Sun Changbiao was his second son and the wood carving master of Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop. He was a three-knife wood carving master. He was usually gentle and gentle, but he didn't expect... to join the Lingying Cult.

Moreover, he also targeted Xixi.

Li Che took a deep breath.

"What is Sun Changbiao's strength?" Li Che asked expressionlessly.

Old Chen raised his eyebrows: "My talent is average. I have been grinding for three years. In the past two years, I just completed muscle opening and practiced the internal strength method..."

"Thank you, Old Chen, I understand."

A smile suddenly broke out on Li Che's face, and he thanked Chen Dabao with a smile.

"Don't be impulsive. You have just polished your skin now. You can't beat Sun Changbiao... Besides, you have no evidence. If you do it, you will lose your reputation. It won't look good on Old Sun either."

Chen Dabao reminded Li Che, then took another sip of wine: "Now that we know who it is... let's just be on guard against him and keep an eye on him."

"I'll take care of Xixi, so Sun Changbiao has no chance."

Li Che nodded silently.

Chen Dabao said no more, got up and left leisurely humming a tune. Instead of going to work in his workshop, he padded familiarly to Li Che's courtyard to play with Xixi.

"Xiao Xixi, your Grandpa Chen is here!"

And the other side.

Li Che carved the eight-treasure and exquisite Maitreya statue step by step.

After finishing today's work.

Li Che stood up, put on his bamboo hat, took out a black poncho, and looked at the falling snowflakes from the sky in the courtyard.

"I said... don't underestimate the obsession of a protective father."

"I've obviously given birth to so many daughters, but just because I don't have any sons, you plan to trade my daughters for sons?"

"It's really...incomprehensible."

Reach out your hand and pick off a piece of snow.

Li Che's face gradually turned cold, and Lao Chen said...just keep an eye on him and be on guard.

But in Li Che's opinion...

Watching and guarding are not as good as...

Kill.
