Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 79 How high is the Cui family's door lintel

Inn, Li Fan rented a courtyard in the inn to live in, so that he could practice without being disturbed.

At this time, in the courtyard, five people were sitting together.

"I never thought that I, Han Zong, would be able to drink with the disciples of Lishan one day." Han Zong filled Li Fan's glass with wine and raised his glass, saying, "Brother Xiaofan, cheers."

That is Lishan, Dali, which has many legends.

This was the first time he was so close to the mountain.

"We are all wanderers, so it's being polite of you to say that, Brother Han." Li Fan and Han Zong clinked glasses and both drank them in one gulp.

"I, Han Zong, have lived a mediocre life. I have only reached the initial stage of innate cultivation at an old age. The people I have come into contact with are all idle people in the martial arts world. Look at those aristocratic sects. Which one of them is not arrogant? Have they ever thought that they could be so close to the disciples of Lishan?"

Han Zong laughed heartily and said, Lishan, what are these sects and families in Chuzhou compared to Lishan?
Moreover, Li Fan's cultivation and sword-controlling ability showed that he was not an ordinary disciple.

Some time ago, he heard that the imperial court was going to move to Lishan, and the prefect of Chuzhou also went there, but died in Lishan and never came back. Now Li Fan appears in Chuzhou city, which is intriguing.

"Brother Han seems unfamiliar." Li Fan said, "I have to thank Brother Han and Sister Chan for their help this time. Otherwise, I am unfamiliar with this Chuzhou City and I don't know when I will find Miss Li."

Li Hongyi, who was sitting nearby, realized that it was Han Zong and Situ Chan who helped, so she poured herself a glass of wine and said, "Li Hongyi also offers a toast to Brother Han and Sister Chan. Thank you."

As she spoke, she drank the wine in the glass first.

If Li Fan had not arrived in time this time, she would probably not have survived.

"Miss Li, you're welcome." Han Zong and Situ Chan also drank it all.

After chatting for a while, Situ Chan gave Han Zong a look, and the two found an excuse to leave, leaving the time for Li Fan and Li Hongyi.

"I'm going to rest too." Liu Ji looked at the two of them with a smile, but she thought of the stunning woman on the mountain. During that time, Ye Qinghuang took great care of her, giving her resources for practice and allowing her to improve her strength.

From an outsider's perspective, she was not so optimistic about Li Hongyi.

If she could choose, she would also choose Ye Qinghuang.

However, Li Fan probably feels more dependent on Ye Qinghuang now.

Only Li Fan and Li Hongyi were left here. Li Fan then asked, "Why did you say goodbye and leave Lin'an County that day? Why did you hide it from me?"

He saw the gun on Li Hongyi, it was Li Daoqing's gun.

Li Hongyi lowered his head and remained silent.

She was the one who killed her father, and she didn't want to put the blame on Li Fan.

Everything is her fault.

Moreover, at that time, Li Fan himself was facing the crisis of leaving the mountain.

"Do you know the murderer?" Li Fan asked. Could it be a demon?
Li Hongyi shook his head: "I only found Daddy's gun."

Li Fan didn't know how to comfort her, and he was not good at it.

"Is there any news about your mother?" Li Fan asked again. Li Hongyi couldn't enter Cui's house, which meant that Li Hongyi's mother must not be living well in Cui's family, otherwise, she would definitely see her daughter.

Li Hongyi shook her head. Thinking of her parents, she only felt incompetent. She poured herself a glass of wine and was about to drink it, but Li Fan grabbed her hand.

Li Fan took the wine glass from Li Hongyi with his other hand. Li Hongyi looked at him with red eyes.

"I killed my father and I can't see my mother. I have been called a genius since I was a child. It's really ridiculous." Li Hongyi's voice was a little hoarse, and he was making fun of himself.

"Miss Li, your father and mother definitely don't want to see you like this, so cheer up." Li Fan advised, and handed the box he had snatched from Xiao Mo that day to Li Hongyi, saying, "This thing has fire attributes, and should be helpful for your cultivation. Take it and cultivate. Tomorrow I will accompany you to the Cui family to find your mother."

Li Hongyi looked at Li Fan. Her delicate face was slightly flushed after drinking. She asked Li Fan, "Will you go with me?"

"Yes." Li Fan nodded: "I promised you, so it counts."

"Okay." Li Hongyi lowered his head slightly and took the box that Li Fan gave him.

"Go to bed early today." Li Fan said.

"Yeah." Li Hongyi nodded, then went back to her room to rest.

…………

The next day, it started to rain lightly in Chuzhou City.

The Cui family, a family of Chuzhou, has been rooted in Chuzhou for thousands of years. The businesses run by the Cui family are spread throughout the city of Chuzhou.

The Cui family is located in the north of Chuzhou City. The entire Cui family is composed of a series of houses, like a city within a city.

It is difficult for ordinary people to have a place to settle down in a place like Chuzhou City, but wealthy families can occupy an entire city.

Just outside the Cui family's gate, there is a huge square. There are statues of mythical beasts on the left and right of the entrance. Dragons and phoenixes are carved on the tall eaves. The gate in the middle is as high as the Cui family's door lintel.

The Cui family's door lintel is so high that ordinary people are not allowed to enter through the main gate and can only go through the small doors on both sides. Even if officials come to visit, they need to be of a certain level to enter through the main gate.

Li Daoqing once knelt outside the door but could not step into the Cui family.

Li Hongyi came to look for her relatives, but was humiliated and driven away. The older the family, the more rules it seems to have, and the more it values ​​reputation.

For the Cui family, Li Daoqing and Li Hongyi are things that the Cui family cannot acknowledge.

Perhaps because of this, it is basically impossible for Li Hongyi to step into the Cui family's door, let alone go to the Cui family to find her mother.

It was drizzling and outside the Cui family's gate, two horses were seen walking slowly in the distance, heading towards the Cui family's gate.

The gloomy sky made the light a little dim.

Those guarding outside the Cui family's gate are all master-level warriors, and they are just servants of the Cui family.

At this time, a warrior guard holding a spear looked outside. Seeing two people approaching on horseback, he couldn't help but frown and shouted coldly: "Who is there? Get off the horse immediately!"

The two of them seemed not to hear anything and got closer and closer.

Under the gloomy sky, the visibility was not very good, but the martial artist at the Grandmaster level had sharp eyes and could still see the people coming clearly. One of them was the woman who had come last time, the bastard of the Cui family.

You were chased away and injured last time, but you still don’t give up?

And this time, there was a man with her.

This man was young, even younger than her. No one knew where he had hooked up with her, but he was willing to accompany her here to be humiliated.

"idiot."

The guards cursed in their hearts. Seeing that the two men did not dismount, the two guards stepped forward, holding their spears tightly in their hands, blocking the way forward, and shouted coldly: "Stop."

The horse stopped, Li Fan looked at the two people in front of him, and said, "Please inform me..."

"No need to report." Another figure came from the gate. He was the head of the Cui family's guards, a warrior at the innate realm. He glanced at Li Fan and Li Hongyi with a look of contempt in his eyes.

The last time Li Hongyi came to look for her relatives, he reported it once, and the outcome afterwards...

So, this time it is not necessary, he can make the decision.

"It seems that the lesson from last time was not enough. You still refuse to give up?" The guard leader glanced at Li Hongyi and said.

"I have been here for many years, and I have seen many people like you. There are countless people in Chuzhou City who want to establish a relationship with the Cui family. You are not the first, and you will not be the last. There is no need to waste time. If you are a bastard, you must be aware of it. Do you have to ask the Cui family to recognize you? It is just wishful thinking."

The Cui family doesn't recognize Li Hongyi at all.

He didn't know who Li Hongyi was, and it didn't matter. Most likely, she came to curry favor with the Cui family.

When Li Fan heard the other party's proud words, he couldn't help but look up at the Cui family's gate.

The Cui family’s door lintel is really high, even a dog’s eyes can reach the sky.

Li Hongyi gripped the spear in his hand, with murderous intent in his eyes. This was not the first time he had been humiliated.

Li Fan continued to ride forward. The two guards raised their spears. The guard leader frowned and looked at him: "You brought a wild man with you this time. I'll give you one chance. Get out of here. If you take another step forward, I'll kill you."

After hearing the other party's words, Li Fan did not stop and continued to move forward. He understood Li Daoqing a little.

Li Daoqing must have experienced the same humiliation that Li Hongyi suffered.

How could they let him step into the Cui family’s gate?

"Miss Li, since they don't recognize you, then there is no need to recognize this marriage, right?" Li Fan looked at Li Hongyi and said.

"Well, I just want to see my mother." Li Hongyi nodded.

It doesn’t matter if the Cui family doesn’t recognize her. What she is most worried about is whether her mother is okay.

When Li Fan saw Li Hongyi nod, he no longer had any worries. In that case, he just did it his way.

An invisible sword intent flowed through his body. Behind him, the sword on the left was unsheathed, suspended in the air, with sword intent flowing.

"Sword cultivator?" The guard was stunned when he saw this scene. The young man that Li Hongyi found was actually a sword cultivator.

But so what if I’m a swordsman? This is the Cui family.

"How dare you." The head guard shouted coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of sword light, and a blood mark appeared on his neck. The blood dripped down, mixed with the rain, and dyed the ground red.

The sword drew an elegant arc, flew back behind Li Fan, and returned to the scabbard.

The other two guards were also stunned when they saw this scene, as if they had seen a ghost.

Kill directly outside the Cui family’s gate?

The two men suddenly turned around and ran towards the Cui family's gate, shouting.

Li Fan did not stop or dismount. He continued to ride forward, stepped over the threshold of Cui's gate and walked inside.

Today he will take a look at how high the Cui family's gate lintel is.
