As soon as the group returned to the villa, Cheng Qi happily ran to Xiao Liu, wanting to give him one of the candied haws he had bought. However, Li Wu was summoned into the room by Li Tianyan for questioning.

As soon as the young master called him. Li Wu’s legs began to tremble. The young master might have been clever enough to know that he had encountered Mother Liu.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the room, he heard the other party ask straight to the point, “Who did you meet just now?”

As soon as Li Tianyan opened his mouth, Li Wu almost knelt down and said in a trembling voice, “Yes… answering the young master. After I went to buy the book, I met Mother Liu, who was next to the madam.”

“What did she tell you?” Li Tianyan had expected it and was not surprised to hear Li Wu say it.

Li Wu naturally did not dare to hide anything and told everything in detail, “Mother Liu asked about the young master, how are you doing recently and whether there is anything missing. Then she gave the young master a package and said it was from the madam for him. I refused her without daring to take it. Mother Liu also said that if the young master encounters any trouble in the future, I must go back and tell the madam. She also asked me to say good things about the madam in front of the young master.”

Li Wu continued, “I don’t understand why Mother Liu said what she said today. In the past, she often asked me to say good things about the madam in front of the young master, but this time her meaning seemed to be different from before, and we had moved out of Li Mansion. There is no threat anymore, so why would the madam bother so much?’

“That’s all?” Li Tianyan asked when he saw that Li Wu had nothing more to say.

Li Wu hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Mother Liu asked me if I had told the young master all the past things. I said that the young master didn’t ask.”

“I know, you can go out,” Li Tianyan said with a blank expression, waving to Li Wu expressively.

“Yes, young master.” Seeing that the young master did not seem to be angry, Li Wu quickly exited the room. When he reached the door, he held down his beating heart. Fortunately, his life was saved, but the young master did not ask about what happened in the past, so he must know everything.

Li Tianyan sat in the room for a long time and finally uttered a few words coldly, “If you had known it today, why bother trying.”

If Hong Man hadn’t been blinded by jealousy and lost her true heart, how could she not see the truth clearly? Until now, the real Li Tianyan had been completely destroyed by the evil tricks in the backyard and died because of Duan Qin’s ambition. No amount of guilt and regret could bring him back.

.

Less than half a day after their return to the villa, the two people sent by Li Tianyan delivered several large boxes of medicinal materials. Lin Hu groaned and gasped, “Master, all the medicinal materials are here. Please check.”

Li Tianyan opened several boxes one by one and nodded after confirming that there was no problem, “That’s right. You go back to Jincheng first and wait. There will be things for you to do in a few days.”

“Yes, yes, the little one is going back first.” Lin Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded, not even daring to ask Li Tianyan what he wanted them to do.

“Li Wu, put these medicinal materials in the room on the west side.” Li Tianyan ordered Li Wu and went into retreat in his room specially used for medicinal baths.

When Li Tianyan took off his clothes and sat in the medicine bucket, he exhaled a breath of comfort. The medicinal materials used this time were of a slightly higher grade, and the taste was not as unbearable as before. He felt that the medicinal properties had slowly penetrated into his body. He immediately activated the Five Elements Technique and began to practice with concentration.

After returning from a trip to Jincheng, Li Tianyan became busy, taking medicinal baths to practice, drawing talismans, and refining medicinal pills. Except for meals, he locked himself in the room at other times. Several people in the villa would not bother him at all.

Cheng Qi also had a lot of things to do. In addition to practicing in the spirit gathering formation every day, he occasionally slipped to the kitchen to study the recipes Li Wu brought back with Xiao Liu. In his free time, he learned the spell book Li Tianyan gave him, living a fulfilling and happy life.

In such a leisurely life, something near the villa, like a cat that smelled a fishy smell, sneaked in quietly without anyone noticing, hiding in the dark and staring greedily at one of the people in the villa, waiting for the opportunity to take action.

.

This was the fourth day after they returned from Jincheng. Li Tianyan was still concentrating on drawing talismans in his room. Cheng Qi practiced until the evening before waking up from a trance. After that, he idled in the courtyard practicing the death spell he had just learned.

In front of him, he saw a patch of newly grown weeds that seemed to have been drained of life. It was visible to the naked eye that it began to wither and rot and then spread to the surrounding areas. Cheng Qi was also frightened by the scene in front of him and was about to stop when suddenly a gust of wind blew up behind him.

“What kind of monster are you? You can actually turn into a human being.” As a sinister voice sounded, a red shadow quickly sprang out from the corner, stretched out its five claws, and grabbed the person standing in the courtyard.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the woman in red, Cheng Qi couldn’t think much for a moment and could only instinctively release a purple flame towards the woman who attacked him.

The palm of the woman in red was caught off guard and burned instantly as soon as it touched the purple fire. She was so frightened that she screamed and fell to the ground, rolling while holding her palm with a face full of pain, even softly asking for mercy, “Great Immortal, please have mercy on me. I’m a little girl who can’t see the Tai Mountain. Please forgive me, Great Immortal.”

Cheng Qi: “…” Who was pointing at him with a ferocious look and claws just now?

Looking at the pitiful look of this woman, Cheng Qi couldn’t bear it and wanted to recall the purple fire. However, remembering Li Tianyan’s instructions, Cheng Qi first sent a stream of spiritual power into the woman’s consciousness, and then took back the purple fire wrapped around her hand.

The woman in red felt the pain of burning disappear and looked at the ugly young shuanger in front of her with a horrified look. She wished she could pounce on him and take a bite of his flesh, but she said with a pitiful look on her face, “I don’t know where this place is. The little girl is offending by the Great Immortal’s residence. I hope the Great Immortal will not blame her.”
