On the surface of the sea, a small boat was like a leaf in a stream. Occasionally, a fish would surface from the sea and look at the boat with curiosity before fleeing in fear as the oars shook.

There were four men on the boat. One of them was wearing a bamboo hat, a short, coarse cloth shirt, and torn pants. He was completely bare-chested and looked like a fisherman.

A swarthy boy with long, wet hair tied with a rope sat in the stern of the boat in a soggy coarse cloth, staring at two little boys with similar features.

However, the little boy couldn't get out of the sunlight. The two of them squeezed in the middle of the boat. One of them held onto the fisherman's leg as they looked at the man sitting in the stern of the boat with fear in their eyes.

The fisherman turned his head to look at the dark-faced man and smiled embarrassedly, as if that man was going to take him away from his father.

"Heh, it seems like I'm a bad guy now?" The man was naturally Li Xianyun. He let out a sneer and looked angrily at Li Tian Jue and Li Hai Qing, who were hugging He Rong's legs.

The two fellows nodded at the same time. Nonsense. This time, when they went back, they felt that it was a trivial matter. After that, they realized something was wrong and shook their heads at the same time.

Feeling the murderous aura behind him, He Rong turned his head to look at Li Xianyun who was sitting in the stern of the boat in shock. He saw Li Xianyun raise his palm to the side, while Li Tian Jue and Li Hai Qing closed their eyes.

Li Xianyun chopped down with his palm. He Rong didn't block and just let his palm strike the surface of the water. Soon, Li Tian Jue and Li Hai Qing discovered that they were fine, so they opened their eyes to look at Li Xian Yun. Li Xian Yun snorted coldly and they looked to the surface of the sea again, only to find that it was dyed red by the sea water.

"This fellow followed us the entire way. Originally, he wanted to let it go, but his murderous intent gradually deepened." When Li Xianyun looked at the surface of the water, he couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, He Rong shook his head with a bitter smile. He didn't expose Li Xianyun because he wanted to scare Li Tian Jue and Li Hai Qing. Li Tian Jue and Li Hai Qing then gave their father a look of adoration. However, Li Xianyun immediately responded seriously to the two of them.

"You didn't even notice such a big commotion and you still want to step foot into the ground!"

"I was afraid that you would go and not have the leisure to observe the environment." Li Haiqing whispered.

"Bastard!" Li Xianyun's hearing ability was not ordinary. He was someone who could hear the sound of the wind unless he made a sound. No matter how soft his voice was, if he wanted to listen in, he would not be able to escape Li Xianyun's ears.

He Rong clicked his tongue twice and didn't say anything more. Besides the sound of the oars sliding on the water, he could no longer hear anything else.

After returning to the small island, Li Xianyun grabbed the two of them and brought them to a grave. He ordered the two of them to kneel down. Then he pointed at the grave and said harshly, "There are only two ways to die, one is old, the other is like him!"

He Rong shook his head when he saw this. Although he had no expression on his face, he still felt bitter in his heart. The grave had a simple monument, "The Tomb of Zhang Chunfeng, the Hero." Pure Wind was worthy of the two words "Hero", more worthy than anyone else.

Li Tian Jue and Li Hai Qing only knew that this was the tomb of a friend of their father's that was very important. The owner of this grave had died for the peace of the Central Plains that they yearned for, but it had been remembered with hatred.

They wanted to say that they weren't going to die, but seeing their father's expression, it seemed that being silent was the best. After all, they had said that only these two methods of death were allowed. As the two of them knelt down, Li Xianyun asked He Rong to bring two jugs of wine.

He Rong brought the wine over. Li Xianyun took the wine and sprinkled some in front of the grave. He Rong did as he was told. Then the two sat down on the ground and drank. Li Xianyun drank his wine as he looked at the grave with a more or less melancholy expression.

"Speaking of which, sigh, in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, yet you still can't put it down?" He Rong sighed and asked Li Xianyun.

"If there's anything you can't let go of, then so is the person who killed him. If there's anything you can't let go of, then so be it."

"That's true. Dust returns to ashes, dust returns to dust. The grudge has already been resolved, so he should finally be able to rest in peace."

"But he still lacks justice!"

Li Xianyun said as he threw the jar of wine toward a tree not far away. With a bang, the jar of wine shattered into pieces.

Li Xianyun stood up and left. He didn't forget to remind Li Tian Jue and Li Hai Qing that they were not allowed to get up without his permission.

He Rong shook his head and finished the rest of the wine in the jar, feeling a little drunk. He stood up and touched the two brothers' heads, sighed and left, leaving behind the two brothers who were extremely bitter in their hearts.

The sea breeze blew hurriedly at night, but the moon was still hanging in the sky. The people inside the house weren't worried about the people at the grave getting sick from the wind. In Li Xianyun's words, if it was so easy to get sick, all the medicines from the past years would have all been taken away by the wind.

He Rong drank some wine and was prepared to stay at Li Xian Yun's home when it was too late. However, he was still a bit worried. He secretly glanced at the two kneeling in front of the Pure Wind Graveyard from afar and left while covering his mouth with a smile.

"I know this father is ruthless." Li Hai said with a bitter face.

"How many fathers do you have?" Li Tian Jue rolled his eyes at Li Hai Qing as he spoke.

Li Haiqing twitched her mouth and ignored him, saying to the grave, "Uncle, we are going out to adventure, but our father is stubborn. If you can protect us when we go to the Central Plains, one day, we will seek justice for you."

After Li Haiqing finished speaking, he kowtowed three times. Li Tianyue followed him. Li Xianyun, who was checking the bushes, was about to get angry when he heard the first part of the sentence. After hearing the second part, he felt gratified.

Then he shook his head and left without a word.

The next day. Evening.

With Li Xianyun's permission, the two stood up with difficulty, almost fainting. Luckily, He Rong was supporting them, otherwise, they would have been unable to stand up even after kneeling for so long, let alone eating and drinking.

"Did you know your wrongs?" Li Xianyun looked at the two seriously and asked.

"This child knows his wrongs, I hope father can forgive me." Li Tianyun looked at Li Haiqing. Li Haiqing also clasped his hands and said, "Your son knows his wrongs, but I still want to go."

Hearing this, Li Xianyun angrily looked towards Li Tian Jue. Li Tian Jue bowed and said with determination, "Your son is one of them."

"Ridiculous! Do you two know how dangerous the martial arts world is? " After saying that, Li Xianyun turned around.

"I heard it from my mother, I heard it from you." Li Tian Jue said seriously, but his voice sounded weak.

"Just a few words and I'll let you know about the martial arts world? Just a few stories have allowed the two of you to think that you understand the martial arts world. Who gave you two the confidence? " Li Xianyun snapped.

The two remained silent. After a long while, Li Xianyun turned around and saw the two of them lowering their heads under the support of He Rong. He raised his eyebrows at He Rong and then turned around.

"Cloud Dreamer, you're going to let them out anyway. It's just a matter of time." He Rong advised.

"Hmph, that is after they are ready. How can they face the storm and waves in the future with just their hearts. Moreover, they are still young. If they go there, they will not be able to deal with anything."

"I heard that the Guan Hai Sect will be recruiting disciples soon, so I can consider it."

"But who else but me and their mother and you can manage?"

"We will listen to the master who doesn't know us." Li Haiqing and Li Tian Jue's faces were filled with excitement as they spoke at the same time. Li Xian Yun turned around and glared at the two of them.

"Since the two of them said so, then why don't we let them have a try?" Seeing the situation, He Rong hurriedly said.

Li Xianyun didn't say anything. He just let He Rong help the two of them to bed. He didn't want to bring porridge to the two of them to eat.

The next morning, Li Xianyun called Li Haiqing and Li Tianjue over to see him.

The two of them excitedly came to Li Xianyun's side. They had heard from their uncle He Rong last night that there was a good show, so they were naturally overjoyed. However, how could they know that this was something that had been planned by the two of them?

The two of them noticed Li Xianyun's serious expression, but he didn't smile. He Rong sat there drinking tea, not even glancing at them. He acted as if he hadn't said anything last night. Immediately, his smile disappeared.

He Hui walked up to the two of them and lovingly patted their faces before leaving. He Rong coughed twice and left as well. Seeing this, the two of them felt as if their hearts were about to burst out of their throats.

Occasionally the waves would hit the boat tied up on the beach, and some seabirds that didn't stay on the island would stop for a while and then leave. The sky was still blue, the sea was still blue, and the trees were still green.

The tense atmosphere in the room made Li Haiqing and Li Tianyue feel suffocated. Outside of the room, He Rong and He Hui began to chat about the past.

After a long silence, Li Haiqing broke it and said, "Father, I still want to go."

Li Tian Jue nodded his head resolutely. Li Xian Yun sighed and said, "I didn't expect the two of you to be so troublesome."

At first, Li Xianyun didn't intend for the two of them to set foot in the martial world so early, but after this incident, Li Xianyun knew that other than providing protection and urging them to learn and practice martial arts, there was nothing else he could teach them. He had already told them everything he needed to tell them.

Although it would be better to protect him for a few more years, it was still not a good thing to go to the Ocean Viewing Sect.

He could provide protection in the territory of the Ocean Viewing Sect, but he could make contact with the outside world. The two of them were deeply etched into their memories, even more so than what their wives had told them.

Moreover, from the looks of it, apart from their skill alone, these two brats actually wouldn't be a match for anyone else except for someone who was close to sixty years of age.

"If you want to leave, promise me three things." Li Xianyun said seriously with his hands behind his back.

"Yes sir!" Li Haiqing and Li Tian Jue bowed at the same time.

"The first one is not to mention surname. This is related to the second one.

The second thing is to not easily use the Zhanlu Sword Intent, I have many enemies, most of them are for a sword called Zhanlu Sword Qi, they saw the two of you using it, although they do not know it is the sword intent of Zhanlu, but with such a domineering sword intent, there is no difference between the two of you, if I look at your surname, I would be able to deduce that the two of you are related to me.

The third, and also the most important, is to eliminate the evil people with the world in your heart, to not lower your head to anyone who has done anything evil, and to not do anything evil for the rest of your life. " After saying that, Li Xianyun turned around and left.

"Yes, child!" The two of them clasped their fists in response to Zhang Xuan's words.

Li Xianyun didn't turn around. He was afraid that if he turned around, they would have to leave a little later.

When He Rong saw Li Xianyun come out, he followed him.

"You're sure they left at such a young age?" He Rong asked in confusion.

"They are my sons. Didn't we grow up there?" After saying this, Li Xianyun paused before continuing, "Besides, based on their personalities, no one can guarantee that they won't die like that the second time if I try to stop them from doing so again. I can't let them die so miserably, can I?"

Li Xianyun wasn't afraid of the word 'die'. After all, what was going to happen couldn't be stopped no matter how hard he tried. Perhaps someone had accidentally hit him near the temple due to his foot slip. No matter how much he knocked on his temple, he would still be the word 'dead' no matter how strong he was.

Li Xianyun also knew that people always said that there was a risk, but there was also a risk. People always said that there was a risk, and people always said that there was a danger, always afraid to do it.

Thus, after he thought it through clearly, he let his son touch this world and try, even if it was extremely dangerous.

Li Haiqing and Qing Shui boarded He Rong's boat. This time, their official departure was only a little bit exciting. They only had a little bit of expectation. Looking at their parents on the riverbank, they were unwilling to part with them.

Although they were children and had left their parents for the first time since birth, they did not cry when they left.

Li Haiqing knew that ever since he was young, his father would occasionally look in the direction they were headed in from the coast. Every time he looked back, he would look at them with a gaze he had never seen before.

The two of them would listen to their mother talk about the earth, and their mother would unconsciously reveal emotions they could not understand.

Perhaps, if they were a little bit more experienced, they would understand that one of these two emotions was called loneliness, while the other was called helplessness.

He Rong repeatedly warned the two of them along the way. It was as big as morality. It was as small as getting up early and going to bed early.
