Chapter 104: Chapter 89 Sword Dao Mortal World_2
However, at this moment, upon hearing Li Rumeng’s mocking words, Li Yuanzhao couldn’t sit still anymore and sneered:
“Nothing to be proud of? Then may I ask, one of you is 16 and the other 15, what is your cultivation level?”
Li Rumeng, already jealous, was taken aback by Li Yuanzhao’s ridicule and immediately became furious:
“We haven’t been clinging to Second Uncle all day like he has. If he can cultivate so quickly, it must be because Second Uncle is biased!”
Li Yuanzhao grew even angrier upon hearing this and said, “Then why wouldn’t Second Uncle be biased towards you?”
“Of course, it’s because his mind is quite cunning, and he’s more adept at sweet-talking than we are!” Li Rumeng retorted with a coldugh.
Li Yuanzhao’s face turned red with rage as he red at her.
Li Yun and his sister frowned and nced at Li Rumeng. They kept their distance from Li Hao, but they disliked and avoided provoking the children of their Eighth Aunt.
Just to avoid any disputester on, lest Eighth Aunt take the issue to their own mother.
“Hmph, all children of the Li Family, and yet without any real talent, you still envy others. Shameful!”<div>
Li Wushuang, however, coldly snorted and spoke out.
Li Yuanzhao looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to speak up for Hao.
Hao had, after all, beaten this particr cousin before…
“You, who are you saying has no talent?!” Li Rumeng said indignantly.
Li Wushuang replied with a disdainful nce, “The one who barks the loudest is the one I’m speaking of! You’ve only just reached Soul Session, how dare you belittle his Fifteen Li Realm as nothing special, are you implying that your Soul Session Realm is something to be proud of?”
“They’ve reached Soul Session?”
Li Yuanzhao and the siblings Li Yun were surprised.
They were cultivating in the training field just like their counterparts, with simr aptitudes, yet the others had advanced before them.
“It really is nothing special.” Li Jiangying said coldly, seeing his sister being bullied:
“Li Wushuang, don’t think you can do anything just because you’re in the Divine Travel Realm. There’s still a long way to go. Everyone in the Heavenly Human Realm and beyond are mere ants. You can brag when you manage to cross that threshold someday!”
Li Wushuang’s gaze turned frosty: “How daring! You don’t even address me as cousin anymore, dare to call me by name directly? Is this how your mother teaches you? As for that threshold, don’t worry, I’ll definitely cross it before you. Come talk to me after you’ve reached the Divine Travel Realm!”
“But of course, you rely on having a famous teacher, we just couldn’t be bothered to ask for one!”
Li Rumeng said angrily.
Li Wushuang couldn’t help butugh out of anger and was about to say something, but was stopped by Li Yun.
“Sister, don’t stoop to their level, be careful or they’ll drag our mother into this to settle ounts,” Li Yun said sarcastically.
“What do you mean?” Li Jiangying red at Li Yun.
Li Yuanzhao said coldly, “Keep it down, this is the Mountain and River Courtyard, not your Mo River Courtyard, even if your motheres here, she has to call Tiangang uncle!”
The expressions of Li Jiangying and his sister changed slightly. Although they were wilful and unruly, they felt somewhat constrained in this situation and did not dare to make a scene.
Seeing that the siblings had quieted down, Li Wushuang rolled her eyes and could not be bothered to pay any more attention, but she silently found the whole situationughable, not expecting Eighth Aunt’s children to be so barbaric and unreasonable.<div>
At that moment, Li Zhining, seeing Li Hao walking straight to where the aunties were, couldn’t help but ask, “Why isn’t Brother Haoing over here?”
Li Yuanzhao looked over and smiled:
“Hao doesn’t sit at the kids’ table when eating.”
…<div>
Meanwhile, Li Tiangang was being “interrogated” by severaldies.
They questioned him on why he had concealed Li Hao’s cultivation level and how Li Hao had been cultivating, among other things.
Li Tiangang felt a headacheing on, thinking that the roar of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield was nothingpared to the incessant chatter of these seven or eight women, but he still smiled and responded to each of them.
However, everyone initially thought that it was his Second Uncle who helped, but upon finding out it wasn’t, and now asking him to exin, he couldn’t find an exnation other than Li Hao’s natural talent.
Nobody believed this exnation, though they did not speak of it, they all had their spections.
Li Hao, being so close to Second Uncle and Fifth Uncle, suddenly was able to cultivate, and so monstrously at that, it was hard not to guess that they had defied the heavens to change his fate.
As Li Hao approached, all the aunts immediately gathered around him, eagerly asking questions. If they couldn’t get anything out of the elder, they prodded the younger one. But Li Hao’s lips were sealed even tighter than Li Tian Gang’s.
Liu Yue Rong didn’t manage to ask anything, and feeling irate, she gritted her teeth, detesting this father and son duo to the extreme.
…
…
From nine thousand miles to the south, within Sword Cottage.
“Master!”
Three or four figures rushed into the thatched cottage at high speed, reporting the freshly received news to their master who was poring over a swordy manual.<div>
“Fifteen Li Realm?”
Upon hearing the message reported by his disciples, Jian Wudao couldn’t help but be stunned.
Was it Xue’er’s little fiancé?
Gradually, some sealed memories in his mind unfolded, and he vaguely began to recall.
Eight years ago, during a trip down the mountain, in that bustling city of the mortal world, the lively yet empty courtyard, that child with the demeanor of an old soul.
Fourteen years old… just a few months older than Xue’er.
And Xue’er, it seemed, had only just stepped into the Divine Travel Realmst month.
He was a whole cultivation level ahead!
Jian Wudao’s expression changed, bing somewhat grave.
Such talent, stronger than even his own in the past, not evenparable to the previous generation’s True Dragon of the Li Family.
“It seems the Li Family is about to reveal another True Dragon!”
“With such talent, if he bes the next sessor, the True Dragons of the other Divine General Mansions will probably be unable to sit still.”
“In these hundred years, truly, the Li Family has been blessed by heaven, chosen by destiny.”<div>
The disciples all discussed and sighed, proudly considering themselves geniuses, but upon hearing this news, they were all so shocked they couldn’t speak.
“Master, I heard that you almost took that Qilin’s child of the Li Family under your wing, to join our sect. We almost became fellow disciples with such a monster.” A young disciple said.
Jian Wudao immediately thought of the day he recruited disciples; he shook his head slightly:
“Back then, it was widely rumored that the child was a martial arts invalid, but looking at it now, either the Li Family deliberately concealed it, or those old fellows from the Li Family intervened to reverse his fate against heaven’s will.”
“However, even if his talent is against nature, he wouldn’t enter my school.”
“Master, why is that?”
The disciples inquired upon hearing this.
“He is not one of the Sword Dao, unlike us, he is not on the same path.” Jian Wudao exined.
The crowd suddenly understood.
A genius indeed, but not a Sword Cultivator.
“Such a pity, otherwise, having such a monster as a fellow brother would indeed be quite inspiring.” Someone said,ughing.
“Fourteen years old at the Fifteen Li Realm, indeed fearsome.” Another nodded.
Jian Wudao nced at the people and said:<div>
“As your master, I always say there’s always someone better out there, now do you understand? Although your talents are not bad, to suppress the next sixty years, you still fall short; go and practice your swordsmanship properly!”
A few people immediately showed wry smiles. With countless heroes in the world, who could suppress the times for a cycle of sixty years?
“Xue’er has already descended the mountain, hasn’t she?” Jian Wudao asked as something came to mind.
One of the handsome young disciples smiled and said, “Little sister broke through to the Divine Travel Realm and immediately said she wanted to go down the mountain to return to the mansion; she has already set off.”
Jian Wudao frowned slightly and eventually sighed:
“After all, she has received favors from the Li Family; I hope she can make a clean break on this trip. Sword Dao and the mundane world, after all, one must choose one over the other.”
