Chapter 72 Greed

"And what about Grandma?"

Wang Yuyan asked, "After that, did Grandma come back?"

Li Qingluo shook her head: "I don't know."

"I don't know?!" Wang Yuyan was very puzzled.

Li Qingluo nodded: "I really don't know. I haven't seen your grandmother since then!"

Wang Yuyan frowned: "So, Grandma is in danger?"

"Probably not." Li Qingluo shook her head. "Through my mother's connections, I found out what happened in Khitan eighteen years ago. Back then, a woman did indeed break into the Khitan palace, killing dozens of skilled fighters, which eventually drew the attention of Khitan's Celestial Realm experts. After that, the Khitan conducted a massive search within their territory, and even in recent years, they haven't given up the search."

Wang Yuyan was shocked: "Are the Khitans so united? Those masters have been dead for over ten years, yet the entire country is still waging war?"

"I don't think it's about those who have died that we're going to make a big fuss about."

People leave and things cool down. In more than a decade, the networks of relationships among those who have passed away have long since cooled, making it difficult to keep the entire national machinery running.

Li Qingluo nodded: "What Li Lang said is correct. According to my mother, the Khitans must have lost a great treasure, so they have been trying to find your grandmother and take it back."

Wang Yuyan suddenly realized: "I see. So, Grandma wasn't trapped by the Khitans, but hid herself away."

"Hmm. Your mother suspects that the treasure your grandmother stole must be beneficial to her cultivation, so she went into seclusion. It's only been a little over ten years, not a long time for a powerful person like her. Perhaps she will appear before you tomorrow."

Wang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, but her mind was still in turmoil.

She never imagined she had such a background!

Li Qingluo looked at Li Mo and said, "So, Li Lang, you don't need to feel guilty. You can have either me or Yu Yan."

Wang Yuyan: "————Mother, what are you saying?!"

Li Qingluo scoffed, "Does Yuyan want to hog all the food?"

"That's not the point at all. What will outsiders think?" Wang Yuyan said, dissatisfied.

Li Qingluo: "Do I need to care what outsiders think?"

Wang Yuyan: "Can't you think about Li Lang for once?"

Li Qingluo was taken aback, then said, "In any case, I can't give up."

Her gaze swept over Wang Yuyan and Li Mo.

At most, you're in the light, and I'm in the dark.

Wang Yuyan sighed, "Mother, you're so stubborn!"

"You're too greedy!"

"Alright, it's settled then." Li Mo said, pulling one of them along. "As long as we can be together, Yu Yan, don't worry too much."

Is Wang Yuyan rolling her eyes because she's too calculating?

It's clearly Li Lang who's too greedy!

Li Qingluo was delighted and asked, "Does Mr. Li want to go back to the villa to stay?"

Before Li Mo could answer, Wang Yuyan said, "Li Lang has already asked Su Su to find a manor. In a while, we will have our own place to stay."

"no."

Li Qingluo raised an eyebrow, "How can Li Lang live outside!"

Wang Yuyan: "What's so good about Mantuo Manor? Li Lang doesn't like manors that use people as fertilizer."

"I can have the land cleared and replanted with other ground flowers," Li Qingluo offered a solution directly, then complained to Wang Yuyan, "You were living there just fine before, but now you're complaining. You're so fickle and easily bored. It's really unsightly of you."

Wang Yuyan: "There was no other choice!"

Seeing the two arguing again, Li Mo was speechless.

"Qingluo, I will occasionally go back to the manor to stay for a few days in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingluo beamed with joy: "Alright, I'll immediately instruct Granny Ping and the others to tidy up the manor."

He clapped his hands, and several women walked in from outside.

Li Qingluo instructed, "Did you all hear what we said? Go back and pack up. I want to see a completely new Mantuo Manor within half a month."

The servants looked somewhat embarrassed, but dared not object, and replied, "Yes."

Li Qingluo was extremely satisfied. She waved the crowd away, looked at Li Mo, and asked, "Li Lang, have you suffered these past few days?"

"fine."

Wang Yuyan: "I will take good care of Li Lang, Mother, you don't need to worry."

"7

Li Qingluo had raised Wang Yuyan for over a decade, so how could she not understand her? Upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Whether it's you taking care of Li Lang or Li Lang taking care of you, I can see it clearly."

"Mother underestimates me!"

Wang Yuyan wanted to refute, but lacked the confidence, so she could only hum in response.

The two started fighting, but just then, a clear voice rang out: "Sister Wang, who is this?"

Wang Yuyan looked up and saw Yin Susu walking gracefully towards her. Her eyes lit up as she introduced her, "This is my mother."

Yin Susu cupped her hands in greeting: "Greetings, Madam."

Upon seeing the arrival of outsiders, Li Qingluo immediately changed her attitude, nodding gracefully and saying, "Yes. Are you Yin Susu from the Sky Eagle Sect?"

""

"Exactly."

Li Qingluo's sharp gaze swept over Yin Susu, her heart churning with jealousy. But then she thought of Wang Yuyan, and her jealousy subsided somewhat.

It's impossible to have him all to myself now. What good would it do to argue with Yin Susu, except to upset Li Lang?

Suppressing her displeasure, Li Qingluo said, "Please sit down. May I ask what brings you here?"

She completely placed herself in the position of the hostess.

Yin Susu seemed oblivious to Li Qingluo's thoughts. She calmly sat down, looked at Li Mo, and said, "Someone is looking for Brother Mo. Would Brother Mo like to see him?"

Li Mo asked in surprise, "Who?"

Yin Susu: "Lu Xiaofeng".

Li Mo frowned: "I'm not familiar with him at all, why would he want to see me?"

"He probably wants to find out who's behind the treasure map," Yin Susu reminded her. "If you think it's okay to tell him, you can meet him. After all, Lu Xiaofeng has a wide circle of friends, you can make friends with him."

Li Qingluo frowned: "Is that Lu Xiaofeng, the one who wanders around everywhere and brings trouble wherever he goes?"

Yin Susu chuckled: "That's right."

Li Qingluo: "This man has many friends, but also a lot of trouble. Li Lang, you must be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Susu looked at Wang Yuyan, who smiled helplessly and said nothing more.

"Brother Mo, really, how did you manage to provoke Li Qingluo?"

Looking at Li Mo, she saw no trace of embarrassment on his face.

"As for Lu Xiaofeng, it would be worthwhile to meet him."

Li Qingluo: "Aren't you afraid of trouble?"

Wang Yuyan said proudly, "Li Lang is already a grandmaster, so a little trouble is nothing to worry about."

Grandmaster?!

Li Qingluo was completely stunned!

That's impossible. Li Lang has only been cultivating for a few days, how could he be a grandmaster?

Looking at Li Mo, one could see a powerful aura rising from him. Being surrounded by this aura, one felt as if their heart was being gripped, as if it might explode at any moment.

The next moment, that aura vanished without a trace.

Yin Susu's voice trembled: "I stayed next door yesterday, how come I didn't sense anything?"

Wang Yuyan snorted: "Because Li Lang has excellent control over his power, Su Su, you naturally can't sense it."

"If that's the case, then the troubles that Lu Xiaofeng got into are nothing."

At first, Li Mo only knew the widely circulated Peiyuan Gong.

She learned almost all of her martial arts at Mantuo Manor, which means that she essentially trained a grandmaster!

Li Qingluo smiled, looking proud of herself.
