Chapter 42: long-standing feud
Chapter 42: long-standing feud
Li Wei raised his eyebrows slightly at the words on the heads of the animated characters in the room.
He knew that Li Yaowen's plan had succeeded, and the effect was even better than expected!
Under Li Wei's interested gaze.
A maid outside the room pushed the frail Li Yaowen into the room.
"This is..."
Four people from the Chen family were rescued during this trip. The leader was a middle-aged man. As far as Li Wei knew, he was the third brother of the head of the Chen family. He was a cultivator of the ninth level of the Qi refining stage, named Chen Chuang.
As for Chen Gandang... that kid was killed along with his father by a trap laid by Hu Wei on the road.
Li Yaozu and everyone in the Chen family had already met on the road. When he saw people asking, he smiled and said: "Friends of the Chen family, this is my sister Li Yaowen."
After introducing each other to everyone, Li Yaowen frowned and said in a solemn voice:
"Uncle Chen Chuang, I would like to ask, has there been a long-standing feud between your family and the Hu family?"
"long-standing feud between us and the Hu family?"
Chen Chuang thought for a while and said: "If you want to talk about grievances, there are a lot of them. To be honest, you may have heard that our four major families in Tailin share the same hatred, but that is only in the eyes of outsiders as for a long-standing feud, A dispute over a quarry turned deadly two decades ago. Many lives were lost on both sides. By the way, Hu Wei's uncle also died in that accident."
Li Yaowen sighed.
Seeing Li Yaowen like this, Chen Chuang was even more puzzled, "Why is my niece sighing?"
Li Yaowen said: "To be honest, Brother Chen said when he fled to my Li's house that he was so dizzy when he went to have fun that night that he didn't know what happened. The next day, Hu Wei was yelling at him and talking about killing him. Hu Wei was completely unreasonable."
"Hu Wei then started searching for Brother Chen all over the city, but Brother Chen still managed to escape from Tianlin Town. Do you think it's a coincidence?"
Chen Chuang's face changed, "What do you want to say?"
"I believe, all this is probably the plan of the Hu family!" Li Yaowen looked a little worried.
"plan?" Chen Chuang seemed to have thought of something.
"Yes, a plan!"
Li Yaowen talked eloquently, "Over the years, our Li family and the Hu family have had a blood feud. Uncle Chen knows about it too, but your relationship with the Hu family is also not good, so the Hu family has been plotting behind the scenes. They want to catch us all."
"They deliberately created a conflict between Hu Wei and Brother Chen, and deliberately let Brother Chen go, just for today!"
"Uncle Chen, think about it seriously. If you people from the Chen family came to us and everyone in the Chen family died on the way back from picking up Brother Chen, what would your Chen family think?"
Chen Chuang finally turned pale this time.
"We in the Chen family will think that it was you, the Li family, who did it. After all, you... deceived people from the Wang family into coming to the Li family and killing them."
"Yes." Li Yaowen said fearfully: "In this way, the Hu family can kill your Chen family and also make your Chen family become enemies with us. Then the Hu family will be able to incite you to become our enemies!"
Li Yaowen said with a bitter smile, "In that case, at the same time, the three major Tailin families will be allied against a single enemy, and our Li family is probably going to be in trouble too."
"What a cruel method!"
Chen Chuang's face drained of color. The horrifying possibility she painted was a chilling reality. He could see the intricate web of deceit spun by the Hu family, a deadly plan where they were all pawns.
Chen Chuang gritted his teeth. Even with a broken leg, he still got up with difficulty, "I will go back now and tell our ancestors the news, to let the Hu family pay the price!"
"We must be careful," Li Yaowen shook her head, her voice low and urgent. "Returning to your family might be a fatal mistake. The Hu family has undoubtedly laid traps."
"This..." Chen Chuang finally calmed down.
Li Yaowen's voice held a note of caution. "For now, Uncle Chen, focus on recovering at our Li family. We can discuss business strategies and plan our next moves these days. As for seeking immediate revenge against the Hu family, it's a decision that demands careful consideration. After all, The stakes are high, involving the lives of countless people. You should seriously consider whether it is worth it to put your Chen and Hu families in a life-or-death situation."
"Humm."
Chen Chuang sighed, "These days, both the Hu and Wang families have been spreading rumors about the Li family's cruelty and ruthlessness."
It had to be their plan!
Looking at the pictures in the game, Li Wei was actually a little impressed.
Li Yaowen, At such an age, displayed such cunning and intellect far beyond her years.
She captured almost all the details and gradually pulled the Hu family and Chen family into the abyss of complete hostility while casting the Li family in a sympathetic light in front of Chen Chuang.
After Li Yaowen was pushed out of the room, Li Wei gave Li Yaowen a 'love from the ancestors' on the spot.
"Thank you, ancestor, for the reward!" Li Yaowen smiled with a smile on her face, happy for the reward from his ancestor. She didn't know how many times she had received such a reward. She was frail and sick and would easily catch colds and fevers and get sick every time. It was the ancestor who showed his kindness and eliminated her illness every time.
Otherwise, Li Yaowen is not sure whether she could have been able to live to her current age.
This is also the reason why Li Yaowen dared to drag her body which is prone to illness to cultivate the literary path that is like ascending to heaven. She believes that her ancestors will protect her and that her ancestor spirits will care about her more than her parents.
And now, in front of the screen.
Li Wei was watching Li Yaozu and the Chen family discussing business in the house.
The Li family owned a large number of herbs, monster materials, food, and even monster cubs.
The Chen family also has various resources and they even own a chamber of commerce that spanned the county.
The Li family will soon obtain a large amount of resources to develop the family through this transaction!
It didn't take long.
The deal had been finalized, and Chen Chuang was focusing on recovering at the Li family. As the snow fell, everyone in the Li family gathered in the ancestral hall.
Even Li Dalong, who was in seclusion, temporarily broke out of seclusion.
The once-in-a-ten year's grand ceremony begins!
[Your descendants have prepared sacrifices for you——]
