Li Tianyan walked out of the main room and raised his hand to touch his heart. He felt relieved after confirming the residual thoughts of the original owner had completely dissipated. He originally thought that killing Duan Qin would resolve the matter, but he didn’t expect Hong Man’s words was enough to make the lingering resentment disappear.

Although the lingering resentment was just a flicker of consciousness, not even a soul, if not handled well, it could become an obstacle when he advanced to the next level. Therefore, Li Tianyan decided to stir it up and give the original owner a chance to fulfill his wish.

Now that the resentment was gone, whether Duan Qin died or not no longer concerned him. Anyway, Duan Qin had been poisoned by the nightmare herb for a long time and would slowly turn into a madwoman in the future. For a strong-willed woman like her, going mad was probably worse than death. As for who put the nightmare herb on the old woman, Li Tianyan was sure the moment Hong Man appeared.

However, even though Li Tianyan did not kill Duan Qin, someone else would not let her live so easily. Grandma Cai looked at Hong Man, who suddenly approached, and asked with horror on her face, “Madam, what do you want to do?”

Given that Li Tianyan could freely enter and leave the villa, and the suspicious appearance of Hong Man, there must be her mole in the Li Family Villa. And now Hong Man wanted to take the opportunity to kill the old madam. Grandma Cai thought the old madam was still her elder and Hong Man should not dare to be so blatant.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let her die.” Hong Man stared at Duan Qin’s face and spoke expressionlessly. Before Grandma Cai could relax, Hong Man suddenly pulled out the long sword in her hand and disabled Duan Qin’s limbs.

“Madam!” When Grandma Cai noticed, it was too late to stop her. She could only shout angrily at Hong Man, “The old madam is a sixth-level innate warrior, and she is still your elder. If you do this, aren’t you afraid of being blamed by the Li family? Aren’t you afraid the eldest young master will be criticized in the future?”

“She is just a bitch and you, an old slave, don’t deserve to mention about my son to me. It’s not that I don’t dare to kill both of you; but it will be too easy for you and her. From now on, you have to take care of her. If she dies, none of your relatives will be able to live well.” After Hong Man finished speaking, she didn’t even look at Grandma Cai’s shocked expression. She turned around and left without looking back.

After what happened that day, Duan Qin would certainly be more cautious in the future. It would not be easy for her to take action against the old lady, so she resolved to act decisively. Anyway, even if the Li family was unhappy after she crippled Duan Qin, they wouldn’t make a fuss over a cripple.

“Young master, where have you been so early this morning?” Cheng Qi saw Li Tianyan coming back and immediately went to greet him happily.

Last night, Cheng Qi had chatted with Xiao Liu until almost dawn before going to bed. When he woke up, there was no sign of Li Tianyan. The young master must have left intentionally without waking him, so Cheng Qi was even more curious about what Li Tianyan had been doing.

“Just went out to handle something.” When Li Tianyan saw Cheng Qi, the expression on his face softened.

Cheng Qi suddenly pulled him and asked Li Tianyan mysteriously, “Is it the matter that the young master said must be resolved before he can build the foundation with peace of mind?”

Feeling the warmth of Cheng Qi’s breath on his ears, Li Tianyan suddenly felt a little ticklish. He nodded with the corner of his mouth slightly raised. “That’s right.”

“Then the young master has already done it?” Seeing that he didn’t want to go into detail, Cheng Qi didn’t ask what the matter was. Anyway, the young master must have his reasons for handling it.

Li Tianyan suddenly turned his head and pecked Cheng Qi’s lips, then smiled and rubbed the top of his head. “That’s it.”

Xiao Liu, who was standing at the kitchen door, saw this scene and couldn’t help but smile happily. It seemed that the relationship between the young master and young madam had improved greatly over the years.

Cheng Qi was surprised by Li Tianyan’s sudden move and blinked. His eyes sparkled when it was Li Tianyan who initiated the small kiss.

“What?” Li Tianyan saw Cheng Qi standing there for a long time without responding and couldn’t help but pinch his cheek in amusement. Hadn’t they kissed many times before? Why was Cheng Qi still surprised?

“Nothing.” Cheng Qi came to his senses and found Xiao Liu snickering nearby. He shook his head, embarrassed.

Then Cheng Qi remembered something and started discussing it with Li Tianyan. “Young master, since Elder Tian Min hasn’t arrived yet, let’s hold a wedding for Li Wu and Xiao Liu and let them get married tonight in our villa. How about it?”

“Okay.” Li Tianyan naturally wouldn’t refuse him.

“Then I’ll go to Jincheng with Xiao Liu to buy some things now, and we’ll be back soon.” Cheng Qi was delighted when he saw Li Tianyan nodding in agreement.

“Do you want me to go with you?” Li Tianyan asked playfully, noticing Cheng Qi’s energetic expression.

“No, no, Xiao Liu and I can go alone.” Cheng Qi rejected Li Tianyan’s offer. If the young master went, he wouldn’t be able to buy such things secretly.

Li Tianyan said nothing more. After all, no one in Jincheng could match Cheng Qi now. After watching Xiao Liu drive Cheng Qi away, Li Tianyan returned to his room and prepared to seize the time to continue forging the leather whip.
