Qee Yuan looked at Li Linfeng kneeling on the ground with a mocking gaze.
He felt a sense of satisfaction.
It was as if an emperor watching a subject kneel before him. Could Qee Yuan not be pleased?
"I've long heard of Mr. Li's reputation from the Li Family. Now that I see you, it's indeed well-deserved, with outstanding temperant."
"No wonder you're a Golden Robed Disciple of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect." Qee Yuan seemingly praised.
But a careful listener would easily detect the sarcasm in his words.
Li Linfeng, of course, picked up on it and couldn't help but clench his fist.
Li Qinghu was afraid Li Linfeng might lose his temper, quickly saying: "What does Family Head Qee require to release my son Li Yuxiang?"
Qee Yuan smiled and said: "Since Mr. Li personally visited today, naturally, I, Qee Yuan, must show Mr. Li so courtesy."
"How about this, I have a contract here. Mr. Li only needs to sign it, and you can take Li Yuxiang away."
"And this matter will end here."
After speaking, a servant from Qee Mansion placed a contract and so ink in front of Li Linfeng.
Wen Yin, upon hearing this, was overjoyed.
She originally thought Qee Yuan would make things very difficult for them.
Unexpectedly, it was so simple, just requiring a signature on a contract.
Anxious to see her son, she couldn't help but urge Li Linfeng imdiately: "Sign quickly! And then thank Family Head Qee!"
Her words seed to imply that Qee Yuan had done her a great favor.
"You better shut up!"
Li Linfeng glanced coldly at Wen Yin, having tolerated this woman for a long ti.
Just a contract?
Even thinking with one's toes, it's obvious that if it were this simple, the contract must be far from ordinary!
Wen Yin, hearing this, was naturally angry.
However, she was pulled aside by Li Qinghu, who signaled her to stay calm and not act rashly.
Only then did Li Linfeng pick up the contract in front of him.
After reading it, Li Linfeng's expression changed dramatically.
The contract required him to hand over all cultivation resources obtained in the next ten years to Qee Mansion!
Simply put, once he signed the contract, for the next ten years, Li Linfeng would lose all his cultivation resources!
Cultivation inherently requires racing against ti.
Ti is extrely crucial for any martial artist.
Let alone ten years!
It ant for the next ten years, his cultivation might stagnate!
Without the support of cultivation resources, even the most outstanding genius would have their cultivation advancent slow as a tortoise.
"I can't sign this contract!"
Li Linfeng, after reading, refused flatly.
How could he agree?
If he agreed, all the struggles and efforts Li Linfeng had made along this path would be in vain!
In ten years, Li Linfeng knew not how many people would surpass him!
"Can't sign?"
Qee Yuan was evidently not very surprised at Li Linfeng's response.
However, a cold expression erged on his face.
This frightened Wen Yin imnsely.
Thinking of her precious son in an unknown life-or-death situation within Qee Mansion, she couldn't help but feel a fire burning in her heart.
"Li Linfeng! It's just a contract! What's there that you can't sign?!"
"Can a contract be more important than a life?"
"Are you so heartless and ruthless?"
Wen Yin shouted at Li Linfeng.
"If you want it signed, then you sign it!"
Li Linfeng threw the contract directly in front of Wen Yin.
Wen Yin grew even angrier, but seeing Li Linfeng's cold face, she had to soften up, pleading: "Linfeng, can you really bear to leave your own brother in dire straits?"
"The blood flowing in his veins is half the sa as yours!"
Since hard approaches didn't work, she resorted to soft ones.
"What I've done has been more than enough."
"Regardless, I can't sign this contract."
At this mont, Li Linfeng was unfazed by anything.
What Li Linfeng had done so far, he owed nothing to the Li Family, to heaven, or to earth.
After speaking, he prepared to stand up and leave!
The Li Family had dumped all their troubles on him.
Finally, his heart had grown completely cold.
He wanted to take his mother away from the Li Family and never return to this family in na only!
However, just then, Li Qinghu suddenly passed a ssage through elental power to Li Linfeng: "Linfeng, just now, I received news."
"Your mother has been kidnapped by the Qee Family!"
Boom!
Upon hearing this, Li Linfeng's body, which was about to rise, suddenly froze, as though struck by lightning in his mind.
His eyes turned blood red abruptly, staring at Li Qinghu, passed a ssage: "Is what you're saying true?!"
Li Qinghu sighed and said: "It's true."
"The Qee Family seems to know that getting you to sign this contract is difficult, so they prepared a backup plan."
"You know that with our Li Family's little martial strength, how could we possibly stand against the Qee Family?"
"So for your mother, for the Li Family, for your brother, you should... consider this contract carefully."
Li Linfeng's body started to tremble.
His eyes had completely turned the color of blood.
His mother was Li Linfeng's bottom line.
"Mr. Li, are you sure you won't reconsider?"
At this ti, Qee Yuan spoke with a smile.
Li Linfeng's blood-red eyes stared at Qee Yuan, finally closing them slowly, eyes tightly shut, yet tears of pain shimred near the corners.
Neither a Li Yuxiang nor the entire Li Family could make Li Linfeng sign this contract.
But not Zeng Xintong.
She was the one who truly raised him, gave him life.
Li Linfeng could ignore anyone, but not Zeng Xintong.
Eventually, Li Linfeng opened his eyes, took the contract in hand, held the pen with his right hand, and signed his na on the contract.
"Mr. Li, you truly did not disappoint !"
A broad smile appeared on Qee Yuan's face.
Li Linfeng was a Golden Robed Disciple of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect!
Ten years of cultivation resources, unimaginable!
It was far more important than a re Li Yuxiang's life!
Not even ten Li Yuxiangs could compare.
"I signed it, I hope you keep your word and release my mother!" Li Linfeng said, looking at Qee Yuan.
"Of course."
Qee Yuan was first startled, then glanced at Li Qinghu, seemingly understanding sothing, nodding his head.
"Release Li Yuxiang."
Qee Yuan took the contract in hand and directly turned around to give orders to a mber of the Qee Family nearby.
Shortly afterward.
Li Yuxiang was released.
"My son!"
Seeing Li Yuxiang in a pitiful state, Wen Yin was deeply heartbroken.
But in reality, Li Yuxiang only appeared dirty, without any injuries.
Evidently, the Qee Family hadn't really hard him.
"Mother!"
Li Yuxiang cried loudly, embracing Wen Yin.
