The atmosphere in the room was tense, and the atmosphere had frozen to the freezing point.
Li Ya abruptly appeared on Yan Li's knees. His hands slowly rested on the blade of the snow-white sword. A clear and melodious sword hum rang out, and his body was instantly surrounded by an indistinct sword aura.
The more he felt the torrential pressure, the more he fought back. His sword aura grew fiercer and fiercer, transforming into a formless sword shadow. One of them slashed through a pear porcelain vase, breaking the red coral in the vase into two and falling down from the red sandalwood pot frame. But before it could fall to the ground, it was crushed into powder by an even more terrifying force field.
Just as the battle was about to break out, Liumu Bingjian suddenly smiled faintly. The force field abruptly contracted, maintaining a level where it would neither interfere with the sword aura nor be attacked.
"I have been impolite," she said.
"What do you want?" Yan Li was really getting angry. Li Ya disappeared, and the sword shadow dissipated.
Liumu Bingjian turned around again, saying, "I don't want anything. I just want to test Young Master Yan's tolerance."
"Does this include seduction?" Yan Li asked.
"Young Master Yan seems to like to rub salt on other people's wounds," Liumu Bingjian said.
Yan Li sneered, "I really don't need to save face for someone who is scheming against me. And since you dare to 'abandon yourself to despair', why should you be afraid of others talking about it? "
Liumu Bingjian laughed involuntarily, saying, "Young Master Yan's point of view is very unique. I can even tell that you are scolding me."
"Oh?" Yan Li said.
Liumu Bingjian said self-deprecatingly, "Being a whore and wanting to build a chastity."
"There are many scolding others, but rarely anyone scolding themselves," Yan Li was rather surprised.
Liumu Bingjian said indifferently, "If you love someone you shouldn't love, you will be just like me, occasionally going crazy."
Yan Li took out a jar of wine as if by magic and took a big gulp. "How do you know that I haven't?"
"Have you?" Liumu Bingjian turned around and saw him hugging a wine jar and holding a portrait in his hand. He stared at it in a daze.
She murmured, "Really? Are you the same as me …"
Two strange souls were thinking of someone far away at the same time, as if they had reached some kind of resonance.
Liumu Bingjian said apologetically, "I apologize for my behavior just now."
"It has nothing to do with you." Yan Li caressed the portrait. "I was too weak in self-control. I couldn't resist the impulse."
Liumu Bingjian smiled sweetly and said, "People with weak self-control won't be able to stop at the last moment. Putting everything else aside, just this point alone has left many men in the dust."
Yan Li was silent.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Now can you tell me why you followed me in here?"
Liumu Bingjian said, "Tell me how you saw through it first."
Yan Li pointed at Nan Zhi who was sitting in the corner of the room, "You know what it is, don't you?"
"A Witchcraft Beast." Liumu Bingjian said.
Yan Li said, "You also know that it can sense the Witch God's Treasure Mirror."
"That's right." Liumu Bingjian said.
Yan Li said, "Then you naturally know that the Golden Crow Queen is in the city."
"One of the most powerful women in the world." Liumu Bingjian said, "Working for her will naturally bring you many benefits."
Yan Li said noncommittally, "After you saw it, you knew that I've been entrusted to find the Witch God's Treasure Mirror."
"Oh?" Liumu Bingjian said.
"But you decided to take the risk from the beginning." Yan Li said.
Liumu Bingjian was even more puzzled, "What's in it for me?"
Yan Li said, "From the beginning, you were overly enthusiastic about Gu Caiwei's matter, and even used the resources of the Heavenly Measures Tower. I don't know what kind of position you have in the Heavenly Measures Tower, but what you're doing is clearly not a small matter. If you're not careful, you'll completely break off relations with the Cao Clan."
"Actually, the truth of the matter is often not complicated. It's just that we think too much." He said with a sigh, "Just like the motive of the Dragon Emperor Residence. Apart from the Witch God's Treasure Mirror, what else can they covet from the Cao Clan? The Lone Eagle naturally wouldn't dare to do it himself, but there must be someone above him. This person is staring at Bu Luo City as if it's a huge steel-covered cake, wanting to take a bite but not knowing where to start. "
He picked up the wine jar and took a gulp, then sighed, "With the Witch God's Treasure Mirror, everything will become simple." At this point, he finally stopped talking, but it seemed like he wanted to continue.
Liumu Bingjian's eyes flickered, "I came here for two purposes. The first is to investigate something. You don't need to ask me what it is. It's very dangerous for you, so it's better if you don't know. The second is to take a look at the Witch God's Treasure Mirror."
"Aren't you making me even more curious?" Yan Li rolled his eyes.
Liumu Bingjian smiled mischievously, then said meaningfully, "Didn't Young Master Yan say that you want to 'be honest with each other'?"
Yan Li's gaze couldn't help but move to her chest.
Liumu Bingjian covered it with her hand in slight annoyance, "Young Master Yan!"
"My apologies." Yan Li said with a smile, "Why don't you just say that you want to see the Witch God's Treasure Mirror? But why do you want to see the Witch God's Treasure Mirror? "
"There might be clues about my parents in it." Liumu Bingjian said.
Yan Li said, "Since it's a private matter, I won't ask. But … "
His expression was indifferent, "Although I'm entrusted to do this, there's no reason why I have to do it. You can naturally deceive me, but when the time comes, Buluo City will remember you. "
Liumu Bingjian was slightly annoyed, "In Young Master Yan's eyes, am I a liar?"
"One must always be vigilant." Yan Li pointed outside the door, "I'm going to bed."
…
The next day.
As soon as Yan Li opened his eyes, he heard a servant calling from outside, "Young Master, Young Master …"
"Calling the soul!" He naturally had to put on an act.
He got up, put on his clothes, and walked out with Liumu Bingjian in his arms.
"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master has sent this." A manservant happily held a brocade box.
Yan Li opened the box and saw that it was a piece of aged ginseng, which was a great tonic.
It seemed that Shangguan Feipeng had accepted his kindness.
Although he was happy, he didn't show it on his face. He said, "Maids, freshen up."
With the help of a dozen beautiful maids, it took him an hour to freshen up, put on his clothes, and go to a large courtyard in the core area of Flying Roc Fort.
The courtyard was filled with maids and servants, shuttling through the corridors.
From the information provided by Liumu Bingjian, Yan Li knew that the Shangguan family had an unwritten rule, which was that the whole family must eat breakfast together.
After Shangguan Feihong's mother passed away, Shangguan Jinhong didn't remarry, so there were only five people in the family.
Yan Li stepped into a magnificent dining room. His other three 'brothers' had already arrived.
"Big Brother." One of them immediately called out to him, showing some enthusiasm.
The other two looked disdainful and disdainful, not even bothering to greet him.
The one who called out to him was naturally Shangguan Feipeng.
Yan Li forced a smile at Shangguan Feipeng and said, "Second Brother, do you like the gift I gave you?"
Shangguan Feipeng knew his brother too well. He especially liked to take credit, so he didn't suspect anything and said, "Of course I like it, Big Brother."
"Big Brother, you've made great progress. You know how to give gifts."
At this moment, a middle-aged man in golden brocade clothes walked in from the back of the dining room.
"Father."
Yan Li called out to him in a low voice, but when he saw the middle-aged man's eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
