The stolen magic is a bit magical

Footsteps were hurried, and the First Elder strode over: "Clan Leader, something has happened, something terrible!"

"Tell me!"

"Last night, the Li people came out in full force and wiped out the Huang tribe!"

"Exterminate?" the clan leader murmured.

"Yes, Huang Zhengdao is dead, all the elders of the Huang Clan have been killed, and the thirteen peaks of the Huang Clan have been occupied by the Li Clan. Of the one hundred and ninety-three clans in the Bridge Realm, only one hundred and ninety-two remain."

The clan leader froze completely.

The long-eared beauty Er Yan'er beside him had her mouth slightly open, and seemed completely frozen.

Disputes between the various ethnic groups in the Qiao region never cease.

But when have you ever heard of an entire clan being wiped out?
And it was a direct expulsion.

The reason is that all the races in the Bridge Realm have come through constant conflict. Those that could be destroyed have already been destroyed. Those that haven't been destroyed yet must have a reason for not being destroyed. Perhaps they are powerful, or perhaps they are allied. In any case, there is a force that checks and balances them.

And now, overnight, the Li people have wiped out the Huang people.

"The Desolate Clan is clearly stronger than the Li Clan in terms of overall strength. How could they have been wiped out overnight? Which force intervened?"

“Without any external force, it was just one person! This person devised a plan, a simple three-step scheme, that wiped out a great clan that had been passed down for thousands of years.” The Grand Elder’s expression was unusually serious.

"who?"

"He's the one who caused the marriage alliance between our tribe and the Li tribe to fall through. His surname is Su, and he's a member of the Li Tian tribe!"

"It was him?" Er Yan'er asked. "What kind of ingenious tactics did he devise?"

"..." The First Elder recounted all the steps, summarizing: "This tactic, in truth, isn't particularly ingenious, but the first step requires the Clan Chief's utmost attention... This person is suspected of being proficient in sonic manipulation..."

The Grand Elder offered his interpretation.

This person's first step was to achieve victory through unexpected means.

Alone with his flute, he followed Li Qiangu straight into the First Line Gorge.

The flute played silently, but the spiders emerged from the ground and were reduced to ashes by Li Qiangu, thus annihilating the Spider Squad.

The clan leader was greatly surprised: "Such a miraculous effect can only be achieved by our clan's Eerie Sound Technique, but to reach deep underground and activate all the Mad Spiders is something that ordinary clansmen cannot do. Perhaps only you and I have such power."

“Exactly! That’s why I said this person must not be allowed to live!” the Grand Elder said.

For a race to establish itself in the Underground Bridge, it must have resources.

The art of sonic manipulation is the Long-Eared Clan's greatest asset.

And now, someone who is not a member of the Long-Eared Clan at all has mastered the Long-Eared Clan's unique divine skills.

What is this called?
Let the unique skills of the Long-Eared Tribe no longer be exclusive!

It has jeopardized the lifeline of the long-eared tribe!

It has shaken the very foundation of the clan!

The clan leader slowly extended his hand, pressing down on the void: "The Grand Elder is right. This person must not be allowed to live. Kill him immediately!"

"Father, wait!" Er Yan'er turned around at the window.

The two big shots focused their gazes on her face.

Er Yan'er said, "The Grand Elder said that his plan itself was not ingenious, just a simple three-step plan, but that's not the case."

The Grand Elder frowned: "Hmm?"

Er Yan'er sighed softly: "Sometimes, when looking at a problem, we need to work backward from the result. The strength of the Wilderness Clan was originally above that of the Li Clan. If a conventional wise man had planned this battle, the greatest result would have been self-preservation. But he intervened and, with just three simple steps, the Li Clan directly annihilated the Wilderness Clan. The Grand Elder might as well think about it: if these three steps were really simple, why would there have been such a great result?"

The two bigwigs had a sudden thought...

Er Yan'er said, "The first step, the Deceptive Sound Technique, is just his skill and nothing special. But from the second step onwards, it's his tactical thinking... He accurately predicted Huang Zhengdao's prediction. He knew Huang Zhengdao would come out, and he knew how many people he would bring. By using a time difference, he achieved a major reversal of the strength between the two sides. This is no ordinary method."

The Grand Elder nodded slowly: "Miss's words have cleared the clouds and brought the sun to the surface. This man's methods are terrifying upon closer examination. However, precisely because he is no ordinary person, our clan should eliminate him!"

“Get rid of them! But how do we get rid of them?” Er Yan’er said, “He is currently in Li Shen Mountain. The Li people have just annexed the Huang Clan and are at the point where their ambitions are extremely inflated. No clan should provoke them at this time, as long as they are not out of their minds.”

The clan leader and the eldest elder looked at each other in bewilderment.

They all thought it made perfect sense.

There are two times when you shouldn't mess with a race: one is when they are in dire straits, and if you push them, they will fight you to the death; the other is when their ambition is extremely inflated, everyone is thinking about war, their morale is soaring, and their fighting spirit is at an all-time high. If you dare to provoke them, they might really raise an army and launch another attack.

It should be noted that, in terms of strength alone, the Long-Eared Tribe is actually inferior to the Wild Tribe.

The Grand Elder hesitated for a long time: "Miss... what do you think we should do?"

Er Yan'er said, "Send a message to the 'Left Master' to monitor him. After he leaves the Li tribe, observe his whereabouts before making a conclusion."

Mount Lishen is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

In the lava lake, they sang and cheered.

Even though day and night are indistinguishable underground, the Li people still have the passion to turn the chaotic time into a night of revelry, regardless of the circumstances.

The barbarian tribe was wiped out in a single battle.

The gloom hanging over the Li people was torn away so decisively and cleanly.

After this battle, the Li people became famous among all ethnic groups in Qiaojie.

The mighty spirit of our ancestors returns today.

The Li people's sons and daughters will be sleepless tonight.

In the lush greenery, Li Feiyang finally fulfilled his promise of "not leaving until he was drunk"!
One jar of wine, shared by two people.

After drinking half a vat, Li Feiyang stumbled out of Qingwan Gate. He seemed to collapse as soon as he stepped outside, and his maid carried him back on her shoulder.

Lin Xiaosu, on the other hand, seemed to be perfectly normal.

But after seeing Li Feiyang off, he stumbled and almost fell off the red pavilion.

Li Xueyi quickly hugged him, and Lin Xiaosu looked at her flushed face with a slightly dazed expression. "I'll take you to rest," Li Xueyi said softly.

"Um……"

Lin Xiaosu softened.

"Miss, let me take the young master to rest," Jiu'er whispered in Li Xueyi's ear. "When men drink too much, they sometimes get handsy, and they won't admit it when they wake up. It's not appropriate for you to take him to bed, Miss..."

Li Xueyi glared at her, saying, "You're not suitable just because a man got drunk and started touching you!"
I'm...okay!
He picked up Lin Xiaosu and carried her into the guest room.

However, the physical contact that the two women were discussing did not occur.

Lin Xiaosu has excellent drinking etiquette.

His hands and feet were quite orderly.

I put him on the bed, covered him with a sheet, and he fell asleep.

This sleep might be the most peaceful one he ever had since entering the underground world.

Clear your mind and relax your body.

Li Xueyi sat on a small stool by the bed, resting her chin on her hand and quietly admiring the scene.

He's really handsome.

The more I look at him, the more handsome he seems.

His body didn't look as robust as a Li man's, but as she carried him into the room, she could clearly feel the astonishing strength within him.

What kind of man is he?
Why is it like a novel book, where once you open one page, you can't help but read the second and third pages, becoming increasingly difficult to put down?
Is this a temperament cultivated by external forces?

Is this the unique charm of men from other places?

Time passed little by little.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Li Xueyi reached out and gently stroked his forehead, where a few strands of hair had strayed slightly...

Suddenly, his eyes opened.

The two locked eyes in the quiet, dark room.

"Awake?" Li Xueyi asked.

Lin Xiaosu closed her eyes and said, "I think I really did drink too much."

Li Xueyi chuckled softly: "You and my brother drank half a vat of wine, you drank just as much as him, and he's already drunk..."

"Go back and rest, I'm fine!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"No! I'll stay with my husband."

OMG……

Lin Xiaosu gently patted her head: "Miss, I have to tell you... you really can't say the word 'husband' out loud."

“You are my husband. My father has acknowledged it, my mother has acknowledged it, everyone knows it.” Li Xueyi blinked innocently.

"You still bring up your father? He's been completely led astray by you."

Li Xueyi chuckled: "Actually, my dad is quite mischievous. He called you his son-in-law in front of the elders to test their reaction. Since no one reacted, the matter was approved."

what?
Lin Xiaosu was a little surprised.

My cheap father-in-law actually pulled this trick?
The marriage of children of the Li ethnic chieftain's lineage is not only a private matter for the chieftain, but also a public matter for the clan. If a marriage is clearly inappropriate or unacceptable, the elders will object.

What does disqualification mean?

It is called a loss of clan character.

For example, if someone like Li Xueyi, a direct descendant of the golden bloodline, were to marry into a non-traditional bloodline like the Li Tian clan, there would be opposition within the clan.

That old man is very cunning.

He did not directly bring up his daughter's marriage to solicit opinions.

In the tense and fierce battle against death, at the moment when he issued the most thrilling battle order, he secretly used a "good son-in-law" as a way to test the reactions of all parties...

How are you expecting everyone to react?

Everyone's mind isn't on this, how can they react?

If you don't react in time, things will go completely off track.

The old man can then proudly tell everyone: "I asked for your opinions in front of everyone, and you didn't react when I called him my son-in-law. No reaction means you tacitly agreed, right? Once you agree, you have to keep your word. Going back on your word isn't the act of a true man..."

Which of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is used in this plan?
"Miss, don't you think... you're actually playing with fire?"

“Playing with fire is great, I’ve always loved playing with fire.” Li Xueyi blinked.

"...No...aren't you afraid of entrusting your case to the wrong person?" Lin Xiaosu could only be more direct.

“You’ve entrusted yourself to the wrong person… Husband, are you?” Li Xueyi raised her eyes slightly, her breath audible.

Lin Xiaosu slowly raised her head: "I'm not sure, really, I can't be sure."

"You're not sure, but I am!" Li Xueyi gently stretched out her arms and hugged him through the sheet, pressing her face lightly against his.

Her golden hair exuded a fresh fragrance under Lin Xiaosu's nose, and her warmth wafted over him through the sheets.

Lin Xiaosu gently raised her hand and placed it on her shoulder: "Xueyi!"

Li Xueyi's heart skipped a beat, and she gave a soft "hmm" sound. This was the first time he had called her by her name instead of "Miss".

"I don't want to give you a husband you're not prepared for, and you shouldn't give yourself a life you can't turn back from. Let's not rush into anything."

"Then...when will you give it to me?" Her voice trembled slightly when she said "give it to me," as if the word "give" carried a hidden meaning. (End of Chapter)
