Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 29: Beat Him First

Liu Sijun smiled enigmatically: "You couldn't even fool Qing'er, yet you still want to lie to me? It seems Qing'er went too far."

Li Qing raised her hand again!
Si Li shrank back, still shaken: "No, no, don't hit me. I'll talk, I'll really talk this time."

Master Jieyou's original name was Le Shaohong, later changed to Si Li. His father, Le Hui, was a rogue cultivator, and his mother was the most beautiful courtesan in the Yuxianfang of Laiyang County, named Yi Qing.

Le Hui initially joined the Yunshan Sect, which ranked fourth among the six sects. However, he was unruly and disobedient, repeatedly breaking the sect rules. Even though he was talented, he was disliked by the other members of the sect. Later, he was expelled from the sect for violating the rules and became a rogue cultivator.

Not long after, he met Yi Qing. In order to redeem Yi Qing from her servitude, Le Hui decided to go to Yanhuang Valley to search for treasure, but he never returned.

At that time, Yiqing was already pregnant and suffered a lot to give birth to Sili. She died of illness when Sili was five years old, and from then on, Sili began to live on the charity of others.

When he was ten years old, he entered a household as a servant by chance. While serving, he secretly watched his master cultivate, which sparked his idea of ​​cultivation.

In the dead of night, Si Li studied on her own, but ended up going mad and was kicked out by her master.

What follows is his story of growing up wildly.

"I also need to survive. Evil cultivators are not tolerated by the world. I can only hide in that small place in the west of the city. It's so poor there that people can't even afford to eat. In order to have enough crystals for cultivation, I can only pretend to be a god and fool people."

"I'm not lying to you this time. I really didn't kill anyone. It's just that some women are eager to become superior to others. They did it voluntarily, not because I forced them."

Liu Sijun narrowed his eyes: "Although you did not kill anyone with your own hands, it is truly despicable that you deceived those poor people who emptied their pockets to change their fate for the sake of crystals."

"This is their own greed, it has nothing to do with me!"

Si Li retorted, "They harbored evil intentions from the start. Even without me, they would have found another way. How can you pin a life on me?"

Liu Sijun sneered: "I won't argue with you about anything else, but do you still remember that old lady surnamed Qian?"

"So many people are looking for me, how can I..."

Seeing Li Qing raise his fist again, Si Li paused, immediately shut up, his eyes darting around, and after a moment patted his head: "I remember."

"That person is so desperate for a grandson that she gave me six high-quality crystals. In return for the crystals, I gave her an idea."

Liu Sijun clenched his fists.

I can't take it anymore, I can't hold back.

Let's beat him up first!
Si Li was beaten so badly that she screamed and her head was completely swollen.

"I've already... ah, I've confessed, I didn't kill anyone, why are you still hitting me?"

"You didn't kill anyone, but what kind of advice did you give Qian? You're even more despicable than someone who directly committed murder!"

Still not satisfied, he finally kicked him in the groin.

That despicable wretch deserves to be childless and have no descendants.

Si Li curled up like a shrimp in pain.

"Qing'er, throw him at the entrance of the government office."

……

Just as Jiang Tai stepped into the government office, an unexpected object flew towards him.

"Who dares to be so insolent!"

Jiang Tai kicked the "object" away and chased after it. Hearing the scream, he had no choice but to turn back. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a person.

There was a talisman stuck to his forehead.

Jiang Tai's dark face revealed a set of white teeth as he peeled off the talisman, revealing a confession.

Looking at the statement again, Jiang Tai regretted that he hadn't kicked harder.

They lifted the person up like a chick and carried them to the front yard.

"master."

Gu Changzhou glanced at Jiang Tai, then closed the book in his hand: "What's going on?"

After vividly recounting what had just happened, he handed over the confession: "This man is Master Jieyou. I heard of him last time I came, but I never had time to meet him. I never expected someone to deliver him directly to my door." Jiang Tai glanced at Si Li: "I thought he was something special..."

I never expected him to be a heretical cultivator who hadn't yet formed his core.

"Jiang Tai, after you put him in prison, you go to the punishment hall to receive your punishment."

Jiang Tai asked with a pained expression, "Why?"

They were talking about Master Jieyou, why are they suddenly going to punish him?
"You've seen the confessions. They involve countless lives and shouldn't be used as a topic of conversation. In the future, when handling cases, put away that joking attitude."

Gu Changzhou put down his confession: "This is the last time."

Jiang Tai solemnly replied, "Yes."

No sooner had Jiang Tai left than Gao Kuo arrived, bowing and holding a black register in both hands: "My lord, the list of all the nobles in Laiyang County has been compiled. Please take a look."

Gu Changzhou took the booklet and quickly glanced through it.

Gao Kuo added from the side: "According to my understanding, the powerful and influential people in Laiyang County follow the lead of the Chu, Liu and Qin families, especially the Chu family, whose influence has surpassed that of the Liu family in recent years."

Gu Changzhou closed the booklet, his slender fingers tapping slowly on the armrest: "Hold a banquet at Mingyue Tower tomorrow night and invite everyone on the list!"

Liu Shiyuan received Mo Linhou's invitation half an hour after the announcement of the resumption of the family martial arts competition.

The timing is too coincidental.

This made him think twice, so he summoned the person who was secretly keeping an eye on him.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable as he looked at the black-clad man with his head bowed below: "Did the Third Miss leave the manor after coming out of Hidden Moon Courtyard?"

"Yes."

Where did you go after that?

"It looked like she was heading towards the government office, but the Third Miss's agility was extraordinary, and I lost her."

Liu Shiyuan flicked his sleeve, his face darkening: "With your Qi Gathering Ninth Level cultivation, you still managed to lose track of someone. What use are you!"

The man in black immediately bowed and clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "I have failed in my duty. Please forgive me, Master."

"Let's make a note of where you lost contact this time."

The man in black thought for a moment and said, "It's near the government office. I'm not sure if the Third Miss has entered the government office."

Liu Shiyuan waved his hand: "Alright, go down and keep an eye on things. Don't make another mistake!" Recalling the events that had happened at home since returning from Yaohua Palace, he tried to connect these events with Liu Sijun.

I can hardly believe she has such great abilities.

But he did receive an invitation from Marquis Molin.

Although it wasn't as previously agreed that someone would come to my home, at least we had a chance to meet.

This happened after his meeting with Liu Sijun.

Whether it was Liu Sijun who went to persuade Xiang or it was a coincidence is still uncertain.

Outside the study, a sudden surge of spiritual energy rang out, followed by Liu Siqin's voice: "Father, I want to see Father!"

Liu Shiyuan rested his forehead on his hand in frustration, pressing his thumb and forefinger against his temples.

Liu Siqin's insistence on seeing him was undoubtedly due to her dissatisfaction with the announcement of the reconvening of the competition, since his reason was to select two of the most outstanding members of the Liu family to represent them in the Frozen Domain for training.

One spot had already been promised to Liu Siqin.

How could I possibly be willing to compete again now?

"Let her in."

Making a scene outside all the time isn't a solution.
