Chapter 1021: Attaining the Purple Mansion Realm(II)
As he spoke, Zai Xingzi’s eyes swept over the crowd and locked onto Chen Yang standing behind Li Chenghui. The man’s gaze was vicious and sharp as a flaying knife as it met his head-on.
Zai Xingzi hadn’t expected a mere Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator to look at him so brazenly. He paused mid-motion in mild alarm. He took note of him and thought to himself, What a poisonous gaze... I wonder which junior of the Li Family this is. I’ll have to find a chance to kill him early.
Meanwhile, Li Chenghui clearly heard the sarcasm hidden between his words, and his heart grew faintly cold as he thought, It seems the various sects and gates are quite certain... that Uncle Ximing has failed his breakthrough. They came prepared. Even if we can block them this time... there may be no stopping them the next.
In truth, the Li Family knew that such a short period of seclusion made a Purple Mansion Realm breakthrough nearly impossible, and their hopes were slim. Yet as long as the jade talisman in the ancestral hall still glowed, a sliver of hope clung to their hearts.
But more than ten years had passed, and the talisman had never been nourished since. Its omen was no longer reliable.
Even if the family head had planned in secret, who could have foreseen colliding with a phenomenon... As the thought flashed through Li Chenghui’s mind, Zai Xingzi offered up a jade box, holding it politely with both hands joined together. Yet his eyes were cold as ice.
All eyes were fixed upon the jade box. Suppressing his anger, Li Chenghui glanced at it. Its exterior was refined, though he had no idea what lay within.
Should I take it? Or should I not? pondered Li Chenghui.
Li Chenghui hesitated for only a moment, then his face smoothed back into calm as he prepared to reach out and accept it.
I can only deal with it for now!
