Chapter 693 Senior Brother

Si Yuanli quickly came down from his seat, and the painting was ignited by the magic power he left behind. It ignited a bright red flame on the jade table and rolled into a ball of dark ashes. He didn't dare to look at it close to the table. Following closely behind him, he whispered urgently:

"Xiao Chuting?"

"He must have a share of the credit!"

Si Yuanli replied in a low voice. Although his face was calm, the excessive movement in his steps still revealed the uneasiness and disbelief in his heart:

"At first, I thought it was Xiao Yuansi who did it without authorization. While the old guy was in Beihai, he was pushed by others to forcibly refine the elixir...Now that I think about it, Xiao Chuting had all his juniors involved! Kanshui's 'Old Man on the River'... is well-deserved. "

"Xiao Chuting has made perfect plans to achieve the success of the Zi Mansion in the past hundred years. He has been running among the green ponds and golden feathers, and now he has gradually become the most powerful person in the Zi Mansion... We shouldn't think it was a miscalculation on his part!"

Tantai Jin whispered:

"Could it be that... Li Ximing is the person who has the deepest plot against Li Sixi? He has been acting stupid and cowardly all the way to the point where he is like this?"

Si Yuanli thought for a while, picked up the hem of his clothes with his hands, rode the wind, shook his head and said:

"Probably not. There are no secrets under the magical power of fate. What's more, God's favor is too great. Li Xizhi and Li Xijun are both outstanding people. I heard that Li Xi'ao is also a talent who sacrifices his life. How can there be another Li Ximing?"

"Xiao Chuting must be involved in the planning of this matter. There is something fishy about Li Ximing. Either there is something wrong with his vision, or there is something wrong with this person. I will ask you carefully when the real person returns."

He took Tantai Jinji and rushed towards Zhutian Pavilion. Seeing the Immortal Pavilion slowly appearing in front of him, Si Yuanli quickly adjusted himself and a bright smile appeared on his face:

'Fortunately, I never make things look bad, so my attitude is no longer strange now. If there was no foreshadowing before, it would have seemed too diligent and snobbish in the past. ’

…

"Looking at the moon, Li Shizhaojing and Li Ximing, this day has proven the magical power of Mingyang..."

The mighty voice penetrated from Taixu, and slightly contradicted the Qingchi Sect's [Tianyuan Spiritual Array]. The spiritual array could detect no sound, no magical power, and only a slight light.

The sound immediately passed through the formation, echoed throughout the Qingchi Mountains, and reached a stagnation in the air until it reached the attic standing in the clouds and mist above the peak.

"Ding Dong..."

The jade charms in the building were blown by the sound waves, making a tinkling sound, and the middle-aged man in Yuyi on the top floor of the Zhutian Pavilion raised his head and stared blankly at the clouds in the sky.

The man in black robe behind him had a gloomy expression, and several shadowy snake tails were dancing under the black robe, but he was also stunned in place, his expression even more unbelievable.

"Ximing?"

Li Xizhi listened to it several times over and over again. His brows were raised, and a shocked expression appeared on his face that was half a smile, as if he was walking in a dream. He took two steps on the attic, and his ears were so quiet that he could hear the jade talisman knocking. A crisp, clear sound.

"Ximing... Zhaojing real person Li Ximing?!"

He murmured a few words, a rosy color appeared on his face, but it still felt unreal, and he laughed and said:

"I'm still figuring out how to protect Zhou Wei...my younger brother has already become the Purple Mansion..."

Li Wushao stood beside him, the look of disbelief in his pupils became even stronger:

‘Damn it… I’m also a spiritual beast from the Zifu Immortal Clan? ’

Li Xizhi felt refreshed for a moment. He rarely lost his composure and laughed twice. His steps became brisk. He opened the attic window and saw several rays of light coming rapidly from the distance.

As the sound spread across most of the country, Li Xizhi felt a mysterious warmth rising in the sea of ​​​​qi, and the three-color Qi [Cai Che Yun Qu] became more vivid and sparkling. .

"[Caiche Yunqu] has reached a new level!"

Li Xizhi was stunned for a moment and understood immediately.

The blessing of [Caiche Yunqu] is based on status. As the news of Li Ximing's breakthrough to the Zi Mansion spread, the status of Li Xizhi, his elder brother and one of the Three Xis of the Li family, has increased. It is obviously different from before!

"I got the benefit of the doubt!"

Li Xizhi looked at it with a smile. There was a sudden knock on the attic door, and a young man hurried in, wearing an exquisite jade crown, silver clothes, and a bright red embroidered robe behind him. He held his hands in joy as he entered:

"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! Master Zhaojing has developed magical powers!"

After a series of congratulations, he looked at Li Wushao with a smile:

"I've seen the protector!"

Li Wushao has been practicing with Li Xizhi, while Li Qiyun, who is more advanced in cultivation, went to guard the Lingyu Mine in the Helin Mountains, and is still not with him now.

Li Wushao returned the greeting and saw another person standing behind the young man, slightly taller than him, with a majestic build and a bow on his back. He was not smiling, but his eyes were full of joy.

Li Xizhi always paid attention to his magnanimity, but when something like this made him cry with joy, he laughed three times, looked eager, and said while stroking his beard:

"Dan'er, quickly open the gatehouses on both sides of Zhutian Pavilion. You stand at the main gate to greet guests, and ask Junwei to wait at the secondary gate."

He quickly regained his posture, with a smile in his eyes, and said softly:

"If the sect comes, don't neglect him."

The young man in red robe and white clothes in front of him is Quan Yudan, the eldest disciple of Li Xizhi. He has a round face and is a member of the Quan clan. He was a distant relative of Quan Yi back then. The man behind him is his second disciple Zhao Junwei.

Quan Yi was killed by Tuoba Zhongyuan, leaving only her old mother who depended on her. Li Xizhi always took care of her. He passed away a few years ago. The old man was unwilling to accept the decline of the Quan family. He wrote several times to contact outsiders of the clan during his lifetime. Li Xizhi fulfilled her wish and found her in abject poverty. Quan's clan members, who were landlords in the countryside, took Quan Yudan to the clan.

More than a year later, Li Xizhi went to the Helin Mountains to investigate the Li Jialing Jade Vein, and took Zhao Junwei, the son of an Orion in the Helin Mountains, as his disciple. It has been more than ten years now.

Quan Yudan responded respectfully and retreated happily, with wind in her steps. Not to mention the children, Zhao Junwei, who had only been practicing for more than ten years, knew how powerful Zifu was. The two children were obviously crazy with joy. There was laughter.

Li Xizhi also laughed softly.

He, Li Xizhi, was in a somewhat awkward position in the past and did not dare to get too close to the Zhu family, so he adopted two children from poor families.

Quan Yudan could be considered a rich man. His ancestors were cultivators of immortality and his talents were quite good. Zhao Junwei was born in a poor family and his talents were mediocre. Fortunately, he was very hardworking. Zhao Junwei's temperament was even more extraordinary.

'Si Yuanli is here...'

He gently knocked on the jade window and saw the familiar rays of light coming one after another. He quickly turned around and left the pavilion. Sure enough, he saw Si Yuanli coming up to him with a face of surprise, laughing and saying congratulations:

"What a happy event! Master Zhaojing's success is truly a role model for our generation... It is truly the first happy event in a century for a nobleman to become an immortal!"

Li Xizhi responded politely, his eyes passing over him and landing on the man behind him who was also smiling:

‘Tantai is close! ’

This person has been in the sect for ten years, and Li Xizhi is no stranger to him. It is rumored that he is a disciple of an overseas Zifu. This Zifu is also a junior who was mentored by Master Yuan Xiu, Si Boxiu...

Si Boxiu didn't live long, and this was obviously one of the things he planned to do after his death. Li Xizhi returned the greetings one by one, and Si Yuanli smiled and said:

"I sent people to southern Xinjiang to invite Yuan Qin back. Yuan Qin must be extremely happy for such a big happy event for the nobles!"

‘Yuanqin…’

Li Xizhi has not met Li Yuanqin many times in recent years. He broke through the foundation and led the Ning family to guard southern Xinjiang. Perhaps because of his sensitive identity, he did not have much contact with Li Xizhi.

Li Xizhi paused for a moment, and another person came forward outside the pavilion. He was wearing a gourd on his waist and wearing rattan armor. He was majestic. It was [Rao Zixiao] Lingu Rao who was as famous as Li Xuanfeng back then.

The middle-aged man smiled and said:

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master!"

The three families are still quite cordial overtly and secretly. Si Yuanli also held hands with his neighbor Gu Rao and called them senior repeatedly. The atmosphere was warm and everyone was happy and smiling.

The two families congratulated each other for a while and then left. People came to visit one after another in the pavilion. Li Xizhi waited for most of the day until the sun went down. Then he packed up his things and said softly:

"The jade satin is all sent away."

Quan Yudan returned the favor and whispered:

"There is still a person downstairs, walking around for a long time, afraid to come up."

"oh?"

Li Xizhi knew it well and said softly:

"But who is it?"

"Master Qingsui Peak!"

Quan Yudan's eyes were cold and she answered with a smile.

Quan Yudan is not a playboy. The rich man in the village has many chores. When he was young, he was not perfect in the yard. He had some sinister things. How could he, a disciple, not understand the disputes between his master and Qingsui Peak Master Yuan Chengzhao? ?

Just now, Yuan Chengzhao was sitting uneasily. Although Quan Yudan greeted the guest with a smile, she didn't look at him for a second, so she just treated him as a foundation, otherwise she wouldn't give him a good look!

Li Xizhi shook his head and said warmly:

"He is your uncle after all. Go and greet him."

Quan Yudan responded and went down. After a while, she heard the low and polite voice of the second disciple Zhao Junwei:

"Uncle Master...please!"

Quan Yudan clearly understood love and hate, and obviously did not like to bow to Yuan Chengzhao, so she pushed the matter to Zhao Junwei, who was deeper in the city. Li Xizhi listened to the sound of his junior brother nodding and sighing, and Yuan Chengzhao tidied his clothes in front of the door, and then "crunched" Open the door and come in.

"Chengzhao pays homage to senior brother!"

Yuan Chengzhao didn't dare to look at him, so he knelt down in front of him and spoke obediently.

Li Xizhi, draped in a golden sunset, hesitated to speak.

Yuan Chengzhao is actually very afraid of him. As his master, Yuan Tuan is away all year round. This stern role has always been played by Li Xizhi. Yuan Chengzhao is not so much his junior brother, but more afraid of him as his master.

But human nature is hard to describe and the situation is complicated. Yuan Chengming was clearly afraid of him like a tiger, but he repeatedly bowed to the Chi family and stumbled several times... When Chi Buhua found him, he used the tools he used when he was young. Li Xizhi didn't need to If you think about it, you must have gotten it from your junior brother.

It's funny to say that after the Chi family fell and the Si family was liquidated, this junior brother was so frightened that the first thing he did was to go to see Si Yuanli, knelt down in front of him, hugged Si Yuanli's legs and begged.

As for the content of the plea, it was nothing else. It was to beg Si Yuanli to hide the fact that Chi Buya took his belongings from him for fear of Li Xizhi being angry and blaming him!

"You're so confused! How could Si Yuanli hide it for him? He wants me to turn against Yuan Chengzhao!"

Li Xizhi looked at him with disappointment. He watched this child go up the mountain since he was a child. In fact, he really felt towards Yuan Chengzhao as a junior. He knew that he was cowardly, but he didn't know that he didn't care to this extent!

Yuan Chengzhao knelt on the ground, and the dignified foundation-building monk was already covered in cold sweat. Li Xizhi said softly:

"Long years no see...you are a blessing in disguise."

Yuan Chengzhao understood very well what Li Xizhi said about a blessing in disguise, and he was even more shocked.

Si Yuanli has given him a lot of benefits over the years, and his talent is indeed not bad, but most of the foundation building has taken things from the Si family. Si Yuanli looks kind and kind, so he can justifiably support the Yuan family who have a rift with Li Xizhi. Never miss an opportunity!

He just said sadly:

"Senior Brother...I was wrong, Senior Brother...Junior Brother is also forced to have no choice..."

"Whether it's Chi Zhiyun, Chi Zhiyan, Chi Fubo, Chi Buhua... or even the current sect master... I can't afford to offend you, senior brother! Chi Buhua was at the peak of his foundation building, and I was just practicing Qi for a small amount of time. , he asked for it from me, I...how could I not give it to him!"

He cried out, kowtowed his head, and hit his forehead on the floor. Li Xizhi did not look at him, only looked at the distant sunset, and whispered:

"You have long been on the road of no return. Ever since you were greedy for power... and took over the throne of Qingsui Peak, you have become a pawn of the Chi family. You can only become a pawn to check and balance me, Li Xizhi, in the collision of power. Uncle Mai of the Chi family After all, there is still Zhongmai, no matter who the person in charge is, he will not let you go as a chess piece."

"If you could have calmed down that day, refused the temptation of power and position, left the clan with your mission, and stayed away from Qingchi... How would you be today?"

Yuan Chengzhao could no longer answer anything. He just kowtowed and cried:

"Senior brother is right! Senior brother is right! I just got carried away..."

Li Xizhi said softly:

"You don't have to be like this. In fact, no one would have thought that today, I should have died early in the East China Sea, and your Yuan family just got back the position of the Immortal Peak. It is very happy."

"It's a pity that things in the world are always unexpected. If it weren't for my master Zhaojing's breakthrough, you would still be benefiting from everything and get great benefits."

Yuan Chengzhao sobbed and could not speak. Li Xizhi lowered his eyebrows, feeling a little sad in his heart but calm on his face:

"There is no need to come to me to cry. You can go back and forth wherever you go. For the sake of Master, all the previous matters have been cancelled. There is no need to come to me again in the future."

He picked up the tea and said loudly:

"Junwei, see off the guests!"

Yuan Chengzhao was panic-stricken. Zhao Junwei stepped forward and practiced Qi cultivation to hold him still. Yuan Chengzhao mourned:

"I was dizzy for a moment, but I hurt my senior brother. I will have no shame to come again in the future. Senior brother's guidance over the years will be remembered in Cheng Zhao's heart..."

"Senior brother, take care...Chengzhao still needs the whole clan in this life, so he can't serve. The kindness...will be repaid in the next life..."

Yuan Chengzhao stood up, his face full of tears, and said respectfully:

"I still want to ride on the wind with my senior brothers and sisters, visit various counties, play with the rays, and listen to the teachings..."

"Today...I can't do it anymore..."

He handed over his hands and exited. Li Xizhi never said a word. Zhao Junwei sent him all the way out. Quan Yudan curled her lips, walked quickly to Li Xizhi, and saluted:

"Master, on this big day, do you want to arrange a trip back to the lake?"

Li Xizhi said warmly:

"It should be so. Qingchi will also lead a team to congratulate him, and we will go together when the time comes."
