In that instant, Li Lao and his grandson found themselves in a difficult position.
They invited Ye Xuan to the Li Family ho, intending to form an alliance with him to face the Wang Family together, to share both advances and retreats, and to gamble life and death.
However, now that Ye Xuan had his sights set on the Martial Arts world, the Li Family found themselves wanting in resolve.
Though the Li Family had a rich heritage, what significance did it hold in face of the Martial Arts world?
Li Lao ca to his senses, looked up at Ye Xuan, and sighed with a smile: "Ye Xuan, my young friend, you’re a sensible person. I, this old man, won’t beat around the bush with you.
You have done great kindness to my Li Family, and repaying kindness is our absolute principle, but before we do that, we must also try our best to preserve the family legacy.
If it’s just dealing with the Wang Family, the Li Family will do it without hesitation, as you probably know, but if it involves the Martial Arts world, this little Li Family really can’t make the decisions."
"I understand."
Ye Xuan nodded with a smile, not surprised in the least.
"Would you mind staying a few more days at my Li Family ho, my young friend Ye Xuan?" Li Lao continued, "This is a matter of great importance, and while the Li Family can’t make the decision, there are others who can."
Ye Xuan certainly knew that Li Lao was referring to the people of Heroic Mountain, who were the Li Family’s tribute.
"Recently, the heavy snow has caused flight delays, so even if I wanted to return, it would be difficult."
Ye Xuan replied with a smile, "Since you, Sir Li, don’t mind, I’ll stay here for a few more days. After all, it’s been a while since I’ve seen that kid, Li Tianhao."
"Haha, that would be great!"
Li Lao laughed heartily upon hearing this, feeling relieved that Ye Xuan didn’t walk away because the Li Family couldn’t make the decision.
If that happened, the Li Family would be in big trouble.
Ye Xuan smiled, sipping his tea without saying much more.
Li Lao understood and imdiately put down his teacup, saying, "Then I’ll go contact the person who can make decisions, Yan’er, make sure to properly entertain young friend Ye Xuan."
After speaking, Li Lao didn’t care whether Li Xiyuan was willing or not, and turned around to leave the tea room.
Li Xiyuan’s lips twitched, feeling extrely unwilling but helpless, so she reluctantly continued to sit stiffly beside Ye Xuan, silently enduring the awkward atmosphere between them.
It wasn’t long.
Ye Xuan finished his cup of tea and suddenly glanced at Li Xiyuan sideways, a mischievous smile on his face, "Well... Xiao Yanzi, can’t you see that my tea is finished? Are you not going to pour another cup?"
Damn it!
Li Xiyuan’s beautiful eyes widened. Normally noble and dignified, she nearly swore out loud at this mont.
What?
This rascal Ye Xuan actually asked her to pour tea?
Do I, Li Xiyuan, look like soone who would pour tea for others?
And... and Xiao Yanzi?
That nickna sounded familiar.
Ah, she rembered—upon their first eting, that scoundrel Ye Xuan had called her Xiao Yanzi repeatedly, though at that ti, she needed him to save her grandfather’s life and had no choice but to endure.
But now?
She had no need for Ye Xuan at the mont, so why endure?
People are like that, both n and won. When they need you, they’re so loving, but when they don’t, they tell you to scram...
So, Li Xiyuan got angry.
She shot a cold glance at Ye Xuan, her voice like ice, "If you want tea, pour it yourself, and mind your language!"
"Oh, your temper’s no small thing, huh? On par with my wife’s initial attitude towards ." Ye Xuan, however, didn’t move a muscle and laughed with amusent: "A woman like you, so young and yet already with nstrual irregularities—put plainly, you’re in need of a man’s taming."
Li Xiyuan knitted her eyebrows, seething with rage.
nstrual irregularities again, throwing that in my face again!
Whether my cycle is regular or not is none of Ye Xuan’s damn business! Is your Ye Family grown from sea water to care so widely?!
Li Xiyuan clenched her teeth, glaring at Ye Xuan with eyes that practically wanted to kill: "Ye Xuan, don’t think there’s nothing I can do about you. Don’t push it too far!"
"Of course you, as Li Xiyuan, can do sothing about ." Ye Xuan casually replied with a smile, "But would you dare? Would you be willing? With such a handso man like , could you bear it?"
"You..."
Li Xiyuan raised her palm, almost giving Ye Xuan a slap right then and there.
Yet, as her small hand hovered in mid-air, she found it impossible to bring it down.
For she still had her sense.
Indeed, she dared not deal with Ye Xuan, as this rascal was of utmost importance to the Li Family now. She also couldn’t bear it; who would want to ss with an ally who could potentially bring them benefits?
Given these factors, what else could Li Xiyuan do?
Seeing Li Xiyuan’s expression, Ye Xuan’s smile widened gleefully: "See? You can’t bear it, can you? You soften at the sight of my face, right? So then, why not pour the tea?"
"I..."
Li Xiyuan’s pupils shrunk. I soften at the sight of your face? Ye Xuan, which immortal gave you such confidence?
Even that handso guy Li Tianhao, I clobbered when I felt like it. And you?
"Really not pouring the tea?" Ye Xuan looked at Li Xiyuan twice, then said, "Fine, I won’t force anyone. If not, just let it be—I’ll just wait for your grandfather’s return to have it poured."
Li Xiyuan: "..."
You beast, you beast!
Wait for grandfather to pour it when he returns? Grandpa isn’t senile yet. By then, he’d surely scold her, saying she didn’t pour Ye Xuan tea, leaving the cup empty, right?
At that point, if Ye Xuan added a few words, grandpa might even ask her to apologize to Ye Xuan!
Fine, Ye Xuan, you’re ruthless!
Ti turns around quickly, and soday, I, Li Xiyuan, will pin you down, vent on you, whip you, tornt you!
Imagining the future scenes that could unfold, Li Xiyuan felt significantly better.
She forced a smile on her face, "Alright, I’ll pour your tea. I’ll pour your tea, okay? You must savor it today, and rember this enjoynt, because tomorrow it might turn to tornt!"
With that, Li Xiyuan poured tea for Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled in satisfaction.
This was the life he desired.
Suppose he was free of enmities and living in the countryside of Taoyuan, with a woman as prideful as Li Xiyuan humbly serving him tea with a good attitude. What a joyful life that would be!
Just that to achieve such a life, the road was still long and challenging.
...
After a storm, there often cos a period of calm.
After the engagent feast at Nightingale Villa, the world was shocked, yet the Wang Family beca unusually quiet.
This kind of calmness is often dangerous.
Everyone knows that behind this tranquility, a fresh storm is quietly brewing, ready to erupt unexpectedly, catching everyone off guard.
And Ye Xuan, during this ti, was having a rather enjoyable ti at the Li Family.
