In the area around Qianling Mountain, four people were sitting together in a gazebo, and their expressions were serious as they discussed Shen Hu and Shen Lu’s deaths.
“Mo Ling, do you know anything about their deaths?”
“I had no idea about their deaths, Father.” Mo Ling shook his head at the old man, who was none other than Mo Long. “However, Shen Yu came to me a few days ago, and she asked me to investigate a man who caused trouble to those families.”
“Hmm? Who is that guy? Why is he causing trouble with them?” Mo Long asked again.
Mo Ling sighed and told his father all of Shen Yu’s stories. “Even so, I don’t believe that the man named Mo Xie is a member of our Mo family, for I believe all of our family members are unlikely to find trouble with those families.”
“That’s true.” Mo Long nodded in agreement with his son. “I’m also sure that they wouldn’t dare to do that, especially since your grandfather already made clear the rules in our family, and they couldn’t possibly dare to violate them.”
“Do you think that man deliberately used our surname to damage our family’s reputation, Husband?” Yuan Wu, Mo Long’s wife, asked her husband.
Mo Long didn’t nod or shake his head, but he sighed softly. “All these years, no one has ever dared to disturb the order of those families, but someone suddenly appeared using our family name and caused trouble with them. However, I’m not sure if he deliberately used the surname to do that, especially since our family has been inactive for a long time and not many people remember us.”
Mo Ling agreed with his father. “I think so too, Father. That’s why I refused Shen Yu’s request to investigate Mo Xie, for I believe that a young man like him couldn’t possibly know about our family.”
“Did Shen Yu tell you the characteristics of that Mo Xie, Husband?” Ye Wei, Mo Ling’s wife, finally joined in.
Mo Ling nodded to his wife. “Shen Yu told me that Mo Xie has silver hair and silver eyes, but she doesn’t have a photo of him, so I don’t know exactly what he looks like.”
“Silver eyes and silver hair?” The other three were surprised to hear that, because such characteristics are really unusual.
Mo Ling then asked his father. “Do you think we should investigate Mo Xie?”
“No need.” Mo Long immediately rejected his son’s idea. “As long as Mo Xie doesn’t offend us directly, we don’t have to deal with him, and you can let the Shen family take care of their own matters.”
“All right.”

“Apparently, Qing’er is looking forward to dual cultivating with you, Hubby.” Feng Xian’er said as she chuckled after Chen Li cut off the phone call from Shen Qing. “She even got that angry because Shen Yu forbade her to leave her house.”
“En.” Chen Li nodded to her. “Qing’er is indeed impatient, just like Keiko, but we will enter seclusion tomorrow, so it doesn’t matter if she waits another night.”
“Aren’t you going to give your Soul Mark to Shen Yu? Since she’s in the Shen House now, it’s easier for you to do it to her, right?” Feng Xian’er curiously asked.
However, Chen Li shook his head at his wife. “For now, I won’t do anything against Shen Yu, but I will immediately start attacking them after I take down Yang Lang.”
“Oh?” Feng Xian’er was surprised to hear that. “At first, I thought you would do something against Bei Xiang next, but it turned out that you targeted Yu Lei first.”
“Not really.” Chen then told her. “I plan to take them both down at the same time, but I still have to think about it after I finish Yang Lang, for I don’t want to deal with those hidden families yet.”
“However, I think the Mo family will move soon, especially since they are supporting the Shen family from behind.” Chen Li agreed with that, and Feng Xian’er continued. “Besides, you’re about to set up your pharmaceutical company, and the Jiang family is the Yang and Qin families backer. Moreover, I remember that Jiang Bai coveted Big Sis Hanxue and Big Sis Hanyue, so you will definitely have contact with them soon.”
Chen Li turned to Feng Xian’er as he raised his eyebrows. “Is it true that Jiang Bai covets them?”
“That’s true.” Feng Xian’er replied with a nod. “Jiang Bai has been trying to get close to them for a long time, but they keep rejecting him because their hearts have long belonged to you.”
Yun Qing, who was sitting at the back, suddenly said. “Hehe! Li Gege! There are too many women who have had a crush on you for a long time, but you never realized their feelings, and they rejected the men who approached them for you.”
Chen Li laughed wryly upon hearing that, for he had never cared about other women before, and he only cared about Feng Xian’er.

Sometime later, they had arrived at the Qingshui Mansion, but Chen Li and Feng Xian’er frowned after they sensed someone’s anger directed towards them, and they exchanged glances for a moment. “Little Qing, let’s go inside first.”
“En, I want to contact my father and mother and tell them about Big Sis Wen’s invitation.” Yun Qing replied as they entered the main building.
As for Chen Li, he immediately used the Hidden Shadow Steps and left their mansion again.
“Where’s Li’er?” Lin Qingzhu, who was chatting with several women in the living room, immediately asked as soon as they arrived in front of them.
“Hubby wants to take care of Yang Lang, who is spying on us.”
They were shocked to hear that, and Bei Lian’er asked her. “Is it true that Yang Lang did that, Xian’er?” 𝘦.𝘰𝘳𝑔
“Yes.” Feng Xian’er then said to them. “Anyway, you guys don’t need to think about Yang Lang; hubby won’t kill him for now.”
Hearing that, they sighed in relief, and Feng Xian’er returned to her room before entering the Tianyi Realm to meet the Xuanyuan mother and daughter.
“Wei’er, it seems that your previous guess was correct, and Chen Li is still holding himself back.” Xiao Xianglin said as she sighed.
Chen Wei’er nodded at her with a smile, for she was sure that Chen Li would not act rashly, but Lin Qingzhu sighed heavily in her heart. ‘Sigh, I have to talk to Li’er later.’

“What are you doing here?”
Yang Lang was startled and abruptly looked back, but he immediately shouted at Chen Li. “Where did you hide Lian’er? I know that it was you who kidnapped her from my house!”
“Ho?” Chen Li smirked after hearing that. “You’re a pitiful man, you know? You couldn’t even look after and protect Bei Lian’er, and you’re now blaming me for her disappearance, huh?”
Yang Lang, who was already furious before, became even more furious after hearing Chen Li’s words. His body was instantly enveloped in red fire, just like his son had used before. “How dare you insult me!”
Chen Li chuckled, grabbed Yang Lang’s right hand, and squeezed it tightly. “Since you attacked me first, you don’t blame me for attacking you back.”
“Argh!” Yang Lang instantly screamed in pain as soon as Chen Li broke his right arm, but he immediately used his left hand to punch him.
However, Chen Li directly blocked Yang Lang’s fist, and he immediately broke his left arm and kicked his abdomen.
“Guah!” Yang Lang spurted out blood and bent forward, feeling an excruciating pain in his abdomen, and his hands hung powerlessly by his sides.
Chen Li then pulled Yang Lang’s hair and smiled evilly at him. “Do you think you’re great for having a superpower? During these years, you can act as you please and suppress many people, but you have already made a big mistake if you think that I am afraid of you.”
“Bastard!” Yang Lang cursed loudly and swung his right leg at Chen Li’s head, but he had to feel the pain once again as he punched his leg hard, causing the bone in his right leg to crack. “Argh!”
“Heh!” Chen Li snorted and kicked Yang Lang’s left leg, sending him thumping to the ground and his head hitting the floor so hard it was bleeding.
“Cough… Cough…” Yang Lang coughed as he looked at Chen Li, and his eyes were already starting to blur.
“This is just a lesson for you for daring to spy on me and attack me.” Chen Li said as he stepped on Yang Lang’s chest. “If you dare to do it again, I will not hesitate to kill you directly.”
After he said that, Chen Li instantly disappeared from the scene, and Yang Lang fainted from the pain all over his body.
.

As soon as Chen Li appeared inside their mansion, Lin Qingzhu immediately dragged him into her room, and she seriously asked. “Did you kill Yang Lang?”
“No.” Chen Li replied as he pulled his mother lying on the bed; he then hugged her and told her. “If I kill Yang Lang now, then those people will definitely come here to attack me, so I’m sparring him for now. However, I also taught him a lesson, and I’m sure he won’t dare to come here again.”
Lin Qingzhu sighed in relief and hugged her son back. “Li’er, I know they wronged us a lot, but I don’t want to see you become a murderer.”
