Chapter 1027: Senior Brother And Junior Brother (II)
Yuanqin... thought Li Xizhi.
Li Xizhi had not seen Li Yuanqin often in recent years. After Yuanqin broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had taken the Ning Family members to guard the southern border. Perhaps due to the sensitivity of his position, he had little contact with Li Xizhi.
Li Xizhi paused slightly as yet another figure approached the pavilion. A gourd hung at his waist, and his body was clad in rattan armor. The vast and imposing aura marked him as none other than Lingu Rao, the Raozi Scorpion, once as renowned as Li Xuanfeng.
The middle-aged man clasped his hands with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Pavilion Master!"
The three houses were still on cordial terms, both publicly and privately. Si Yuanli also clasped hands to greet Lingu Rao, repeatedly calling him senior. The atmosphere was warm and lively as everyone's faces were alight with joy.
After exchanging congratulations, the two families took their leave. Visitors continued to arrive one after another, and Li Xizhi entertained them for most of the day. Only when the sun had set did he finally tidy things up and softly ask, "Yuduan, have all the guests been seen off?"
Quan Yuduan clasped his hands and replied quietly, "There is still one person downstairs. They have been pacing back and forth nervously for quite some time, but haven’t dared to come up."
"Oh?" Li Xizhi knew full well in his heart who it was, but he still asked softly, "And who is it?"
"The master of Qingsui Peak!" Quan Yuduan's eyes held a trace of coldness as he replied with a smile.
Quan Yuduan was no pampered scion. Growing up amid the tangled affairs of rural landlords, his childhood had hardly been free of malice. How could he, as a disciple, not be aware of the grudges between his master and Yuan Chengzhao, the master of Qingsui Peak?
