Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 198: Equal Treatment

[Li Kuangren]

[Spirit Root: Metal, Wood, Water, Earth]

[Realm: Fifth Level of Qi Refining]

[Techniques and Martial Arts: Azure Cloud Unfallen, Phantom Shadow Steps, Thunder Summoning]

...

The talent of the Li family's fifth generation could only be considered average. Only Li Kuangtu was slightly better, with a dual spirit root.

They were unlike the first three generations and didn't have access to divine pills like the "Heaven's Secret Replenishing Pill" provided by Li Wei. Relying on the potions refined by Li Yaoqing to enhance the quality of their five elemental spirit roots could only slightly improve their aptitude.

Worst of all, they hadn't been trained by the family from a young age. The children of the fourth generation, for instance, basically lived with demonic beasts and even fought within the Heaven-Piercing Coffin in their spare time.

[Your descendant Li Yaowen has an important matter to discuss.]

Time continued to accelerate. After about three or four days, even before Li Kuangren returned home, news from Li Yaowen arrived.

After switching the screen.

Li Yaowen, seeing the gleaming ancestral tablet, hurriedly knelt and bowed. "Ancestor," she reported, "I have heard that Kuangren went to see the Feng Qingyang."

Li Wei strongly suspected that members of Dawn had already infiltrated the Jun Prince's Mansion.

"Feng Qingyang gave us twenty years," she said. "This is also an opportunity for us!"

"He said that our Li family, and Kuangren, should achieve something noteworthy. There's a hidden meaning behind his words."

Hearing this, Li Wei raised an eyebrow slightly.

When he heard Feng Qingyang speak, he also sensed something amiss. After all, ever since Feng Mi became pregnant, Feng Qingyang, a person of such high status, hadn't done anything. This was quite strange in itself.

"I investigated," Li Yaowen reported, "and it turns out that for hundreds of thousands of years, the successive Jun Princes of the Jun Prince's Mansion haven't been completely indifferent to the welfare of Azure Cloud region's people. However, whenever the Jun Prince's Mansion tried to intervene, the Nascent Soul forces, led by the Azure Cloud Pavilion, would show signs of uniting against them."

"Feng Qingyang's actions over the years have revealed his extraordinary character to me. He is a truly good person, caring for the people like his own children. This is also the reason for the increasing prosperity of the Regional City. He is the Jun Prince who has distanced himself the most from the influence of the sects throughout the history of the Jun Prince's Mansion. When the two sects were at war and the people suffered, it's said that Feng Qingyang was so angry that he didn't sleep for three years. Every time those powerful forces caused trouble, he would be filled with indignation."

"Our family... when our family was causing great carnage, Feng Qingyang was both amused and furious."

As Li Yaowen explained, Li Wei understood.

The reason Feng Qingyang didn't take action against the Li family because of Feng Mi wasn't simply because she threatened to take her own life. He also wanted to use the Li family, to make them a weapon in his hands, to completely reshuffle the power structure of the Azure Cloud region!

It just so happened that the Li family was now not only powerful but also had good relations with the Skyveil Sect, and even Black Tortoise Sect. The two sects had even ceased their conflict and formed an alliance because of this.

"By forming a marriage alliance with the Jun Prince's Mansion, our family will gain the most powerful ally."

"I have a plan..."

Li Wei ignored Li Yaowen's scheme.

Yes, it was a cunning plan to sell out the Jun Prince's Mansion, reap the benefits like a fisherman, and conveniently shift the blame to the neighboring Regional City.

Forget about that plan. Whether the imperial court would attack or if the scheme would be exposed is another matter. If Li Dalong heard about this plan to betray his in-laws, he would definitely give her a good beating.

After understanding Feng Qingyang's intentions with Li Yaowen, Li Wei smiled.

When he switched the screen and saw Li Kuangren, he suddenly felt a strong sense of affection for the boy.

Li Kuangren was quickly brought back to the ancestral hall by Huang Xiujin.

Li Dalong also heard Feng Qingyang's words from the two of them. The honest and sincere Li Dalong had a thoughtful expression on his face. "Twenty years?" he mused. "If he truly wanted to find a genius, why wait twenty years? And the esteemed Jun Prince's Mansion, why would they give my Li family such an opportunity?"

"Ancestor, I understand!"

Li Dalong immediately knelt on the ground, overjoyed. "It seems that Feng Qingyang doesn't think our Li family is unworthy of the Jun Prince's Mansion," he exclaimed. "Instead, they need something from us, but they can't bring themselves to lose face, so they resorted to this tactic! He wants to win us over. If not for the need to maintain a facade of excuse for the other major forces, he would probably be shoving his daughter into our Kuangren's arms!"

Li Wei took a sip of water and suddenly recalled Feng Qingyang's demeanor in the previous scene, a mix of anger and forced calmness.

Yes, he truly seemed imposing.

But now, it was as if that old coot had been stripped bare by the Li family, his true intentions laid bare for all to see.

Li Kuangren was like a rebellious youth on a souped-up motorbike, his "ghost fire" (modified bike with bright lights and loud noises) parked at their doorstep, just waiting for him to hand over his daughter.

Hearing Li Dalong's words, Li Kuangren, who had been nervous, suddenly became excited. "Great-grandfather," he asked, "does that mean I haven't caused any trouble for the family? Will I be marrying Mi'er soon?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dalong's face immediately darkened. Although he was the great-grandfather, he still couldn't understand how that girl, Feng Mi, could possibly fancy his good-for-nothing grandson.

He immediately took out a rattan cane.

"Kneel!"

While Li Kuangren was being punished, the Li family elders had already devised a training plan for him.

In twenty years, wanting to defeat all the geniuses under fifty in the Azure Cloud region would indeed be a challenge.

Just after being punished.

[Your descendant, Li Kuangren, has been thrown into the first level of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin.]

Li Dalong believed in equal treatment.

[Your descendants, Li Kuangtu and Li Kuanghua, were watching the commotion and have also been thrown into the Heaven-Piercing Coffin.]
