After throwing the sword away, Shen Kairan only ran a few steps before a strong force grabbed him by the collar, dragging him back. In the blink of an eye, he was standing right in front of his master.
"Master?" Shen Kairan blinked puzzledly.
His master’s face was completely darkened: "Where do you think you were running off to? You cannot just take what doesn’t belong to you and leave."`
Shen Kairan was confused, what doesn’t belong to him?
He looked at the spear in his hand, then at Li Jain, plus his master’s darken expression. His face imdiately turned red and he quickly apologized: "This disciple was too excited and forgot."
"It’s fine. If you like it, you can keep it." Li Jain waves his hand, it was just a low-grade spear, not worth ntioning.
"Fellow Daoist Li, are you sure?"
Li Jain nodded. Shen Kairan was very excited and expressed his gratitude multiple tis before he left with the others.
The forging elder had a glance at the spear while they were talking and saw that it wasn’t inferior to his sword. Although the two were at the sa level, the spear seems to be unique in so aspects.
"That spear design is unusual. Did fellow Daoist design it himself?" He asked
"Yes." Li Jain replied
"Then, would fellow Daoist’s be willing to part with it? I am willing to pay a fair price."
Li Jain did not mind. To him, the spear blueprint was useful but not irreplaceable. He plans to hand over those weapons blueprints to Xiao Xuan who shows interest in weapon refinent. But those levels were still too advanced, besides, the people here had shown him goodwill, there was no reason to refuse.
As soon as Li Jain nodded in approval, the forging elder moved quickly and paid the spirit stones. Li Jain also handed him the spear blueprint.
"You don’t need to act as if your life depends on it." The thin face elder teases.
"Unlike your useless disciple, I know how to appreciate craftsmanship. From today onwards, he is banned from entering my weapon hall." After saying that, he flaps his sleeves and leaves.
The elder had banned many students and disciples from his weapon hall, but as long as one says a few good words about his weapons, he will forget about his past resentnts. So, they all laugh it off.
Li Jain was taken to a guest room to sleep when he suddenly rembered sothing: "There’s one more thing. I left soone at the gate, if he’s still there, please bring him in."
The servant nodded and left hurriedly. Knowing that Li Jain was a distinguished guest, he didn’t dare to be neglectful.
...
The next morning, Li Jain set off early with Xu Tao. They left Bright Stone Martial Academy and were heading towards Red Fla Academy. Li Jain wasn’t sure why the people at Red Fla would go as far as blocking his way to track Li Cheng, but there wasn’t any sign of his little one being injured or in danger, so he thought it wasn’t a big deal.
anwhile, in South River City, his children were up and getting ready for school. Because they had moved to South River City, Vermillion Sword Hall had beco the furthest between the three schools. Therefore, they all had to get ready together.
Li Yuhan stood in the corridor, outside of the bathroom’s door with his arms crossed: "Li Zhang! You better get out this instant. Are you trying to make everyone late?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Zhang’s voice ca from inside.
"You have been in there for the past forty minutes. Which part of your body hasn’t been washed yet? Maybe I can co in and help you!"
"Forty minutes? That’s impossible!" Li Zhang was shocked at first, then he thought his brother was making it up just to get from the bathroom, so he argued: "And even if it’s true, we have more bathrooms now. You don’t have to wait on . Go bother soone else."
Li Yuhan’s lips twitched. How co he didn’t know long ago that his brother loves bathrooms? As for which aspect of the bathroom he likes, he had no idea.
"No one is waiting for the bathroom anymore." Li Yuhan sighed
"Then why are you urging ?" Li Zhang was even more confused.
"Well, you see... Great bathroom king. Everyone is already dressed, and we are going downstairs for breakfast." Li Yuhan said coldly
"What? Why are you only calling now?" There were rush sounds from inside and then the bathroom door was pushed open.
Li Zhang’s hair was neat; he didn’t look like soone who just ca out of the bath. It seems that he spent all those tis in front of the mirror, styling his hair.
"Did you fall asleep in there?"
"Third fourth brother was probably playing dress up in front of the mirror. You should know his ways by now." Li Jingsheng who was passing said and hurried away brother Li Zhang could get to him.
"You have five minutes. If you’re late for breakfast too, don’t bla us if there’s nothing left for you."
"You guys can’t eat without . Just give ten minutes." Li Zhang imdiately rushed into the room to get dressed.
...
By the ti everyone made it downstairs, another thirty minutes had passed. They sat at the table, waiting for breakfast. It was strange, even though their dad was a little late today. It was already strange enough that they couldn’t find him this morning to say good morning.
A mont later, Liu Xiong ca from outside, carrying several large trays in both hands.
Li Yujian narrowed his eyes, as he watched Liu Xiong set down the trays. The food was colorful, but as he placed more dishes the children realized that those were not breakfast dishes at all; instead, the entire table was filled with sweets.
"Umm... Uncle Xiong, it’s breakfast ti." Li Juanxin reminded him hesitantly, but Fluffy eyes had already stood up and his tails were shaking in excitent.
"Did Uncle Xiong mistake the snack shop for the breakfast shop?" Li Jingxuan laughed
Liu Xiong sat down, he didn’t think anything was wrong with the dishes. Children love sweets, everyone knows that much, so he bought them as much as they can have. This is like a trial period for him; he has to assure Li Jain that he can take good care of the children.
Li Zhang looks at Liu Xiong with bright eyes: "I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. This is what life is. Let’s eat, what are you guys waiting for?"
"It’s just one day, this shouldn’t be a problem." Li Yujian also picked up his spoon and took a bite of the cake.
Li Juanxin was still hesitating, he wasn’t sure whether it was really ok for them to eat snacks for breakfast. Dad did ntion that it was unhealthy. He looked at the cake, then at Liu Xiong.
Fluffy didn’t expect for such a good thing to happen. It stood up and placed both front paws on the edge of the table and looked directly at Juanxin.
"What are you waiting for? Eat quickly or you’re going to get everyone late."
"You’re just saying that because you want cake." Li Juanxin
"And what’s wrong with that? If you don’t want to eat, let have your portion."
"No, it’s unhealthy for you to eat cake this early in the morning."
"Xin, just eat breakfast. Uncle Xiong went through the trouble to get this for us; you can’t let his efforts go to waste." Li Jingsheng said.
Li Juanxin thought for a while and picked up his spoon. His brother was right; he was being ungrateful.
"Uncle Xiong, where is Dad?"
