C64

At this time, Madame Li and Li Waner were sitting in the great hall, waiting for Li Yuanjie's return.

Just now, someone went to inform Li Yuanjie of this matter. The three of them knew that this matter was to wait for Li Yuanjie's return.

Before long, Li Yuanjie returned with the guard.

"Elder sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law, you're finally back." Before he even entered the door, Li Yuanjie's tearful voice had already arrived.

Madame Li and Li Waner were both startled, but Lin Tian only smiled slightly. He wanted to see what this Li Yuanjie wanted to do.

Li Yuanjie rushed into the Main Hall, and directly knelt in front of Madame Li. He continuously kowtowed, and kowtowed until his head made loud bangs.

Li Yuanjie raised his head, and forced out a few tears with great difficulty, then howled at Madame Li: "Sister-in-law, my second brother finally managed to bring you back. At that time, you were kidnapped by the bandits of Blackwind Ridge, and my second brother risked his life to save you, but that group of thieves in Blackwind Ridge was too crafty, when I led the people there, they had already disappeared."

It was as if Li Yuanjie said something serious, but Li Waner knew that after his mother was kidnapped, this Second Uncle did not even try to help, much less bring people to rescue him.

"Oh, you're being considerate." Madame Li did not burst Li Yuanjie, but laughed indifferently.

Li Yuanjie was immediately overjoyed, he did not expect that the few tears that he had faked would actually fool his sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, you came back at the right time, so the position of Family Master is really not that good. After you were kidnapped, I have been bitterly supporting the overall situation of the Li Family, but you don't know, but from the other clans, and some other forces, and even the Heavenly Thunder King, Luo Kaishan, they have been eyeing our Li Family as prey. They have always wanted to take over our Li Family's businesses, so I have been supporting the entire family by myself, and I feel that I am somewhat powerless."

Li Yuanjie complained for a while, then said: "Since sister-in-law has returned, tomorrow, I will officially announce that I will withdraw from the position of Family Master, and restore the position of Family Master to my eldest sister-in-law."

"Mm, good. Thank you for your hard work during this period of time." Madame Li drank his tea and replied indifferently.

Li Yuanjie was startled, and then he muttered to himself. "This, this isn't right."

The reason why he worked so hard just now, wasn't it because he wanted to move this Madame Li and give him back his position as the Family Master. If it really was like that, he would be able to win over this Madame Li without any bloodshed.

Madame Li was not only young but also incomparably beautiful. He had already thought of it, if he could think of another way to take it as his own in the future, it would be a beautiful thing.

But now, everything was not what he was thinking. This damn woman still had such an obsession with the position of Family Master. If that was the case, then he could not let her ruin his good fortune.

Just now, when he lifted his head to observe, Li Yuanjie had also seen the youth that the guard spoke of, which was also Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was currently standing behind Madame Li, and was together with him.

He had also noticed the strength of the boy, but looking at his appearance in the Qi Sea Stage, it was not something particularly troublesome.

"Elder sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law, since you refuse to drink, don't blame me for being merciless." Li Yuanjie sighed in his heart.

But after thinking for a moment, Li Yuanjie asked again: "Oh right, sister-in-law, I have yet to ask you, how did you escape from the hands of the bandits above Blackwind Ridge?"

Without waiting for Madame Li's reply, Li Yuanjie spoke again: "Is it because of this youth's help?"

"That's right, that's right, let me introduce you. This young man is Wan'er's fiance, Lin Tian." Madame Li looked at Lin Tian and said.

Li Yuanjie was startled, and asked in disbelief: "Fianc??"

"Yes." The Madame Li nodded, and continued, "Of course, he will be a member of my Li Family in the future. In a few years, I will withdraw from the Family Master's position and give it to Wan'er.

"Sister-in-law, you want to give the position of Family Master to Wan'er and even let an outsider join our Li Family?" Li Yuanjie's face immediately became ugly.

"Not bad, what's wrong? Do you have a problem with that?" Madame Li could not help but ask.

"Nope." Li Yuanjie immediately shook his head: "How could I have any objections, Wan'er has found such a good fiance, I can't be happy even if I have the time, how could I have any objections, this young man seems to be a genius, Wan'er has good eyes."

Li Yuanjie praised a few times, then continued: "Eldest sister-in-law, you, Wan'er and Lin Tian have been running all the way here, I think you must have had too much trouble. I'll have the servants tidy up your rooms right now, rest well, and tomorrow, I will announce to all the people in the Li Family, and the position of Family Master, then we can return it to you."

"Sure." Madame Li did not refuse, and directly followed the servants into the room they were in earlier.

After the servants left, Madame Li looked at Lin Tian and could not help but ask: "Lin Tian, that Li Yuanjie ?"

"The performance was not bad, but it was too fake. If others were to see through it with a single glance, it would be meaningless." Lin Tian replied indifferently: "If I haven't guessed wrongly, he will send someone to assassinate the three of us tonight, and it will be here."

That was why she purposely said that Lin Tian was Li Waner's fianc?. It was to test Li Yuanjie, but the test's effect was very obvious, Li Yuanjie indeed harbored evil intentions.

Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, but then said: "I still have another guess, but I'm not sure ?"

"It doesn't matter. We're family. You can say whatever you want." The Madame Li replied indifferently.

Lin Tian slightly froze for a bit, but then reacted, and said: "Earlier, I heard from Wan'er that you were kidnapped, and I thought that it was because the people of the Blackwind Ridge had their eyes on the assets of your Li Family, that's why I took you away, and made a huge fortune."

Madame Li asked in astonishment, "Is that not the case?"

"Before I came to the Heavenly Thunder City, I had thought that it was not bad. However, after I came to the Heavenly Thunder City, I felt that something was amiss. This matter is too strange, no, it is completely wrong." Lin Tian laughed faintly.

"Of the seven leaders of the Blackwind Ridge, the strongest was only at the first stage of the Qi Sea Stage. When I killed them, I only relied on my cultivation of the first stage of the Qi Sea Stage to kill all seven of them. After Lin Tian said this, he smiled and asked: "Does Madam understand what I'm saying this time?"

How long had Madame Li been in possession of control? Naturally, she could understand many things. With Lin Tian's explanation, she immediately understood.

With just the third stage, Lin Tian was able to exterminate the villains in the Blackwind Ridge and rescue her. Li Yuanjie's strength was even above the fifth stage of the Qi Sea.

So to say, what Li Yuanjie had just said was a lie, he had never thought of saving Madame Li in the first place.

"Not only that, I suspect that the Madam being captured was originally a trap, and was something that Li Yuanjie planned." Lin Tian said again.

The head of the Blackwind Ridge naturally knew that their strength was mediocre, so he did not dare to provoke the great powers of the Heavenly Thunder City.

But this time, why did he have the guts to attack Li Family?

There was only one answer, and that was because they had someone supporting them from behind, or at their instigation. Of course, that was the only explanation.

Madame Li's eyes became cold, when Lin Tian said this, she immediately understood.

Previously, she also frequently ran errands for merchants and escorted them with precious medicinal ingredients. However, she had never met anyone from the Blackwind Ridge before, so why did she meet them this time around?

Li Family had a large background and his fame resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Thunder City, so he did not bring any experts to protect the array.

That was why he had been targeted by the Blackwind Ridge and taken away.

"But if Li Yuanjie did this for the sake of my Li Family's position, why didn't he let my Blackwind Ridge's people kill me, and instead let me live?" Madame Li immediately asked with some doubt.

"There is only one possibility." Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, but still answered.

"Tell me about it." Madame Li stared at Lin Tian and said.

"Are you sure you want to hear it?" Lin Tian looked to be in a difficult position.

"Speak."

"I feel that there's something else in Li Yuanjie's gaze when he looks at Madam." Lin Tian deliberated over the wording, and said with hesitation.

"Humph!" Madame Li immediately slammed the table, her face was full of anger, and she immediately understood what Lin Tian meant.

Li Yuanjie colluded with the people of the Blackwind Ridge and kidnapped her. Li Waner was just a weak girl, so naturally, she couldn't win against Li Yuanjie, so Li Yuanjie had to take over from her. After taking over the Li Family, Li Yuanjie would need to thoroughly clean the inside of the Li Family, and after stabilizing his position in the Family Master, he would have to look for Li Waner. In the end, he would kill the people of the Blackwind Ridge, save the Madame Li, and make the Madame Li feel grateful to him.

However, this plan was still ruined by Lin Tian.

"Li Yuanjie, looks like I have been gentle for many years. You don't even know my mighty name back then..." Madame Li said as he gnashed his teeth.

Although the Madame Li was not the martial cultivator, his methods were first class. Otherwise, he would not have been able to support the development of the Li Family to this extent by himself after Li Waner's father passed away.

Li Waner tightly held onto Madame Li's hand, his eyes filled with determination.

At this time, in Li Yuanjie's study.

Li Yuanjie laughed coldly: "This bitch, she really never took me seriously, and never even considered me to be her Family Master, if not, I wouldn't have colluded with Blackwind Ridge and come up with such a plan. Furthermore, after Big Bro died, I had already expressed my feelings for her, but I never would have thought that not only did this bitch reject me, she even scolded me for a while ?"

"That's fine too. If you refuse a toast and don't eat a forfeit, don't blame me for ruthlessly destroying a flower!" Li Yuanjie became ruthless and instructed the person behind him, "Go and arrange it. Tonight, I want to see their corpses, no matter what methods you use!"

"Yes, Family Master." Behind a pillar, a figure suddenly appeared. It was more of a shadow than a person.

The shadow passed through the wall and disappeared without a trace.
