Chapter 895: Returning To The Heart Of The Lake (II)
Moongaze Lake.
Cultivators moved across the lake. A white-robed man rode frost down onto a peak, a sword at his waist. Li Xijun ascended the steps, where two young men waited beside the hall.
One wore a heavy cloak, tall and broad-shouldered, with a spear strapped to his back and a commanding presence. His sharp, powerful gaze revealed him to be the former family head, Li Chengliao.
The other was slightly younger, sword at his waist. He was leaner in comparison, and clad in long robes. He stood beside Li Chengliao and was Li Chenghuai, son of Li Xizhi.
Li Zhouwei was still overseas, and the two brothers of the Radiant Lure generation had returned from the north to take charge of the family. Li Chengliao had once been the family head, so handling these matters came naturally to him.
Li Chenghuai was now at the seventh stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm and was managing affairs in Mount Yue. Though he lacked his father’s charisma, he was a competent leader.
The two had come to pay respects to Li Xijun, both already grown men. Compared to Li Xijun, they seemed more like brothers than uncle and nephew.
After all, pills and spirit items nourish the body.
Li Xijun understood this well. In the generation of Li Tongya and Li Xuanfeng, they had hardly relied on pills or spirit items, relying solely on their own cultivation. Thus, they aged quickly. Li Tongya had reached Foundation Establishment Realm late and, by the age of seventy or eighty, looked like he was already in his fifties or sixties.
Things had clearly improved with Li Yuanjiao’s generation. By the time of Li Xijun’s generation, they already had the air of legitimate heirs of an esteemed family. All three of the Xi brothers looked no different in age from the younger juniors.
"Eighth uncle." Li Chengliao stepped forward, offered a bow, and handed over a letter, speaking softly, "News from Zongquan Island, it’s good news."
Though a senior family member had just passed, Li Chengliao called it good news. Yet there was no joy in his expression, only seriousness. Li Xijun gently took the letter and unfolded it, Zhouwei has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm during his seclusion.
