Cultivation in a Family: Starting as a Reincarnation of a Core Formation Master

This letter landed squarely on Yang Zhihui's delicate face.

She instinctively shrank back, then realized what was happening and picked up the letter.

"I had just stepped outside when I saw this spirit pigeon delivering a message. Being a kind-hearted person, I accepted it for you."

Liu Xiaoyan smiled faintly, a mocking expression involuntarily appearing on her face.

Yang Zhihui was stunned, holding the letter at a loss. Was God so cruel to her? She had already lost her father and aunt, and now she had to lose her husband too.

"Demolish it quickly!"

Liu Xiaoyan urged.

This letter has a special mark and can only be opened with the corresponding incantation; otherwise, it will be automatically burned.

A moment later, Yang Zhihui mustered his courage, made a hand seal, and unlocked the letter's seal.

The moment the mark was opened, Liu Xiaoyan slightly spread her five fingers, and a surge of spiritual energy swept over her, snatching the letter away.

"Heh heh."

She hurriedly tore it open, but what she found was not a letter of divorce, but a short poem.

[Upon exiting through the east gate, one finds women as numerous as clouds.]

Though they are as numerous as clouds, they are not what I desire.

[In white robes and green scarves, we find joy in our simple lives.]

[Upon exiting the gate, a woman appeared, as graceful as a lotus leaf.]

Though it is like a riotous flower, it is not what I desire.

[Wearing white robes and eating wild vegetables, this is something to amuse myself with.]

"Going out of the east gate, there are women as numerous as clouds, but though they are numerous, none are the one I desire..."

Liu Xiaoyan read it aloud softly, and with each sentence, her heart trembled. By the end, a cold sweat broke out on her neck.

It should be noted that cultivators are rarely illiterate; she understood the meaning of the poem after reading it only once.

There are countless beauties, but none of them are the one I desire. The only one I desire is you. Considering the current situation, she could immediately guess what was going on.

I had misunderstood. Li Chengxuan never intended to break off the engagement. On the contrary, he used this poem to express his feelings.

In plain terms, of all the waters in the world, Li Chengxuan only wanted Yang Zhihui.

next moment.

"Zhihui, your aunt was just joking. Please don't take it seriously."

Liu Xiaoyan immediately put on a smiling face.

"What?"

Yang Zhiwei was stunned for a moment. As an "unmarried young lady," she lacked knowledge about the skill of changing faces.

"What your aunt meant was that she was just joking with you earlier. How could your aunt possibly break you two up? You know, your aunt loves you the most."

With a forced smile, Liu Xiaoyan jogged a couple of steps and handed the letter back to the recipient.

"Take your time looking around, I won't bother you. Let's pretend your aunt never came today."

Only after Liu Xiaoyan left did Yang Zhihui see the contents of the letter.

"Going out of the east gate, there are women like clouds... dressed in white and with white robes, they can amuse you."

She recited the poem over and over again until her eyes were brimming with tears, almost soaking the letter, before carefully putting it away.

By this time, the sun had long since set, and moonlight streamed through the window, casting a hazy glow on her face and revealing the girl's indistinct figure.

Yang Zhihui grabbed the unfinished painting and continued to sketch it out by the moonlight.

A moment later, a young girl appeared beside the original figure; it was Yang Zhihui herself.

She then copied the poems from the letter onto the portrait, and finally took out a blank letter paper to write her reply.

"If you do not betray me, I will not betray you; I will dedicate my life to you and my whole life to you."

……

When Li Chengxuan received the reply, he was discussing the formation of the family guard team with Li Dehai.

"Oh, if it's inconvenient, I'll come again tomorrow."

Li Dehai winked and made a face.

"fine."

Li Chengxuan glanced at it and casually put it into his storage bag.

Actually, the reason he chose Yang Zhihui was very simple: it was unnecessary.

Whether it's Huang Ziya, Zhou Qingqing, or those twin sisters, it doesn't mean much to him.

Plans can't keep up with changes. He originally agreed to the marriage alliance with the Yang family, mainly hoping to use their strength to build his foundation, and secondly, his family wanted to win over the Yang family.

But now that Clan Chief Li Debao has promised to get him a Foundation Establishment Pill, this "main reason" is almost non-existent, so he no longer needs to seek help from the Huang family woman or the Zhou family woman.

After all, these two families were only Foundation Establishment families, and their help to him was limited. As for the granddaughter of Elder Yunxia, ​​she had a powerful background, but it has always been difficult to be a live-in son-in-law, and he was unwilling to do so.

Therefore, he decided not to call off the engagement with almost no hesitation.

Of course, Yang Zhihui himself played a significant role in this, as the woman treated him well, giving him whatever she had, such as talismans and spirit stones.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. Although Li Chengxuan was not a good person, he always repaid kindness with kindness.

……

"The family guard team is divided into four teams: A, B, C, and D, with eight people in each team, totaling thirty-two people."

"Among them, the weakest is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the captain and vice-captain are both at the peak of Qi Refining. Each squad is strong enough to easily kill a 'top-tier barbarian soldier,' and if they were to join forces, they could even fight a barbarian general."

"Team A will be led by me personally, and there will be no vice-captain for the time being. Team B will be led by Dian Sheng, with Li Changzhen as the vice-captain. Team C will be led by Fang Xing, with Li Deqi as the vice-captain. Team D will be led by Li Deguang, with Qian Yang as the vice-captain."

Li Dehai reports with a serious expression.

Li Chengxuan nodded. The other party had done a good job, ensuring the strength of the guard team while avoiding the risk of it being controlled by outsiders.

Team A is entirely composed of members of the Li family, while Teams B and C are led by former Qinghefang City law enforcement officers. However, cleverly, Li Dehai has arranged for two members of the Li family to serve as deputy leaders.

This position doesn't usually affect Dian Sheng and Fang Xing's control over the team, but if the two have ulterior motives, the importance of this position becomes apparent.

The final team, Team Ding, was also a mixed bag. The captain was a member of the Li family, and the vice-captain was Qian Yang, a former guest of the Li family.

Li Chengxuan was not familiar with this person. He only knew that he was an old friend of Elder Li Changshu. Although his cultivation was at the peak of Qi Refining, his combat strength was slightly low, and he was just barely making up the numbers.

After all, the Li family doesn't have many Qi Refining Perfection cultivators, so it's already quite good that the guard team can gather seven Qi Refining Perfection cultivators.

In other words, this guard team is the family's elite force.

"I heard that a few days ago, one of Dian Sheng's men, named Zheng San, had a conflict with the Enforcement Hall."

Li Chengxuan changed the subject.

"There was some unpleasantness, but later the elder of the Dekuan clan said it was just a misunderstanding."

Li Dehai explained.

"It's another case of trying to smooth things over; there needs to be a resolution regarding who's right and who's wrong."

Li Chengxuan sighed slightly, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

This is actually a very important reason why he dislikes Li Dekuan. It seems to have resolved the conflict, but in fact it has sown the seeds of a bigger hidden danger.

After all, how can there be order if the law is not upheld?

"This..." Li Dehai chuckled lightly, without saying a word.

To be honest, he is still atoning for the loss of Xiaoze Lake, so he can't say much more.

Moreover, more than a year ago, Li Dekuan and others finally found the traitor Li Chenghu and the three bandit brothers of Qishan.

Although they failed to capture Li Chenghu, they ultimately severely injured him and killed the second-in-command of the Qishan bandits, which could bring some solace to the clansmen who died tragically at Xiaoze Lake.

This is also where Li Dekuan's value lies. Although he is somewhat selfish, his strength and abilities are undeniable.

Given the family's current difficulties, surely they wouldn't abandon someone like that?

"Forget it, Uncle will take care of the guard team from now on. I'll just hold a nominal position."

Li Chengxuan waved his hand and said.

"But I am a criminal."

Li Dehai hesitated.

"That's precisely why we need to manage the guards well, so that they can atone for their mistakes through meritorious service."

Li Chengxuan smiled faintly.

"Alright, I can manage the daily affairs, but you should make the decisions on important matters."

Li Dehai nodded.

"Okay." Lee Seung-hyun nodded.

The formation of the guard team was a favor from the clan chief, Li Debao, and he had no reason to refuse.

"Perfect timing, there's a very important matter that requires your decision."
