"Of course, we did. However, when Grandpa saved Uncle Zhenbei, his injuries were very serious. He had to recuperate for a full five years before he could fully recover. After that, Uncle Zhenbei changed his surname from Sun to Li. This Li Zhenbei was also a name that Grandpa gave him later on. No one knew what his original name was. Until ten years ago, when Great Elder went to Ji Province to do some business and accidentally found Uncle Zhenbei. At that time, it seemed like Great Elder wanted to pull Uncle Zhenbei back to his side, but Uncle Zhenbei refused. Why are you asking about this? "
Li Gan smiled maliciously and continued asking, "Do you know the names of Great Elder's two daughters?"
"Of course I do. The elder daughter is called Sun Ya, and the younger one is called Sun Nan. These two daughters are born of Great Elder's official wife. Sun Ya took the surname of Great Elder's wife, Madam Sun. She is only twenty-three years old this year, and it is said that she has already reached the level of a mid-level immortal master. She is considered one of the most outstanding people among the younger generation in Ji Province. Sun Yingnan is only fifteen this year, and she also participated in the Spirit Forging Ceremony this year. Her metal attribute spirit vein has reached a shocking seventy-five percent. I think she will definitely be one of the most outstanding people in Ji Province in the future. " Li Shuyi stared at Li Gan and said in an unfriendly tone, "Brother, you're asking too much. Don't tell me you're really interested in them?"
"Interested? That's natural …" Li Gan shook his head, intentionally or unintentionally. "Twenty-three Match Celestial Immortals. I'm just a fifteen-year-old brat. Why would I be interested in such a mature woman? Speaking of that Sun Yingnan, she's really comparable to you. However, I naturally don't have any feelings for her. "
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Li Shuyi's face was full of disdain. She knew Li Gan's background very well.
"Sister, don't let your imagination run wild. I'll ask you again. Do you feel that Sun Ya is very familiar?"
"No."
"Think about it carefully. Have we seen her somewhere before?"
"Of course, I saw her when I was in Ji Zhou, but this is the first time I'm seeing her with you. Brother, what do you want?"
Li Gan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't say anything else and continued to look downstairs.
The sky gradually darkened. Li Zhenbei and the Great Elder, Sun Peng, went back and forth, drinking one cup after another without stopping. After drinking more than ten jars of wine, both of them were drunk to the point of unconsciousness. The inn also regained its tranquility. Perhaps it was because all the major alliances and aristocratic families had left Spirit Forging Village!
The night was exceptionally quiet.
The sound of the wind blowing was particularly clear.
Li Gan tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. An inexplicable feeling lingered in his heart.
Where have I seen her before?
Could it be that he had never seen it before?
No, he must have seen her before.
Vaguely, Li Gan finally determined that Sun Ya, the eldest daughter of the Great Elder, Sun Peng, had a familiar feeling. She seemed to be somewhat similar to the woman in black at Phoenix Ridge. Her figure was exactly the same. This feeling was a secret technique unique to Li Gan. One had to know that he had countless women. No matter what kind of woman they were, he could determine the size of their breasts with a single glance.
When Li Gan deliberately teased Sun Ya, she had inadvertently released the same type of spiritual energy.
Could it be a coincidence?
The more Li Gan thought about it, the more confused he became. Sun Ya was the pearl of the Great Elder's palm. With her noble status, how could she have personally gone to Phoenix Ridge to commit such a bloody massacre?
Moreover, Sun Ya's noble aura was clearly different from the woman in black at Phoenix Ridge.
Could it be that he had made a mistake?
As he thought about it, it was already late at night. Li Gan finally fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, the Great Elder, Sun Peng, led his own guards to protect Li Zhenbei and the rest. After bidding farewell to the Spirit Forging Village, the group majestically entered Phoenix Ridge. The powerful guards deliberately emitted a murderous aura, causing almost all the monsters in Phoenix Ridge to retreat.
Everything was peaceful for the next ten days!
The Great Elder, Sun Peng, was candid, cheerful, and kind. Li Gan had imagined that the originally dull journey would be filled with life and vigor. However, along the way, Li Gan felt that Sun Ya seemed to have an inexplicable feeling towards him. It didn't seem like she was monitoring him because her guards didn't show any signs of abnormality.
"Could it be that she's always on her guard?" Li Gan couldn't help but rejoice. It seemed that no matter how powerful a tigress was, she was still afraid of the man who hit her.
The more Li Gan thought about it, the more pleased he became. His originally wavering thoughts slowly disappeared.
From the second day onwards, Li Gan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Sun Ya. He focused on the Li family's secret technique, the Nine Slashes.
Although the Nine Slashes given by Li Gan was only a simplified version, its complexity was much more difficult than Li Gan had imagined. Not only did it have to be compatible with his own spiritual energy and the speed of his attacks, it also couldn't be any different in size.
This made Li Gan very vexed. He had privately asked Li Zhenbei to find a shortcut to mastering the technique.
However, Li Zhenbei's answer was very simple. There were only two words — practice hard!
This made Li Gan very speechless. However, when he thought about his own path of cultivation, he knew that only by practicing hard would he be able to achieve anything.
After understanding this, Li Gan began to surpass his own limits. He started from the first slash of the Nine Slashes and slowly fumbled around. After failing one slash after another, Li Gan didn't give up. He began to enter a state of selflessness …
One day, two days, three days ….
Li Gan's selfless practice finally entered the state of perfection, causing the team to stop on the thirteenth day.
However, this perseverance and tenacity, which was rare for a God Cultivator, still made Li Zhenbei nod his head in praise. Even Wu Yan and Li Shuyi were astonished by this hedonistic second young master's crazy training.
This small, isn't it tiring?
Is he still human?
From the sixth day onwards, Li Gan didn't eat or drink. He sat on the ground in a daze, hugging the broken blade in his arms without moving. Sometimes, he would suddenly look up to the sky and laugh wildly while brandishing his blade.
"This won't do. I have to wake him up!" Rainbow Fairies finally couldn't take it anymore. They took a roasted chicken and looked at Li Gan, who was sitting on a rock in a daze, and walked over.
"Let him go. This kid hasn't eaten or slept for six days!"
Li Shuyi originally wanted to stop them, but was stopped by Li Zhenbei.
"Hey, it's time to eat." Rainbow Fairies passed the roasted chicken in their hands to Li Gan.
"En!" Li Gan woke up from his bitter contemplation. The fragrance of the roasted chicken in his hands made him stare blankly at the other party.
"Pay attention to your eyes!" Rainbow Fairies was rather embarrassed. Who would have thought that the other party would stare so fixedly at her chest even though she had good intentions?
"Hehe!" Li Gan revealed a different smile: "It was unintentional, don't be angry. Sister Fairy personally delivered food to me, I guess you want to …. "
"Wishful thinking. I have something to talk to you about!"
"If you have something to say, then sit down and discuss it properly!" Li Gan pointed to a rock beside him.
"You must act as if nothing happened!" Rainbow Fairies replied, baffled.
"What do you mean by act as if nothing happened?" Li Gan instantly understood: "Don't worry, I still know how old I am!"
"That's not what I'm talking about!" Rainbow Fairies said as she sat beside Li Gan. A faint fragrance wafted into Li Gan's nose. The close proximity between the two caused Li Gan's heart to ripple. He slowly moved closer to the Rainbow Fairies.
Rainbow Fairies turned around to look at Li Zhenbei and the others. Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, she really didn't know what to do. She obediently sat there without moving.
… …
"Eh! I can't watch! "
Li Shuyi, who was not far away, pouted and quickly closed her eyes.
"This kid!" Li Zhenbei shook his head and pulled the Great Elder into the tent. The two of them went to drink again.
"You still want to watch?" Wu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly as he pulled Li Shuyi and ran away.
… …
"Sister Fairy, if you have something to say, just say it. You know my personality very well. I'm not someone who can sit still. You're so close to me. If I do something out of line, wouldn't you …" Li Gan saw that the other party didn't object and unceremoniously reached out to grab Rainbow Fairies's shoulders. His eyes followed her collar and looked down …
Her jade-like neck was as white as snow and two towering peaks. This made his eyes light up and he impudently grinned.
"I …" Rainbow Fairies wanted to say something, but stopped.
"Sister, do you have something on your mind? I'm guessing it's not because you miss me! " Li Gan finally noticed the beauty of Rainbow Fairies. The originally youthful beauty now had a face full of worry. Her pair of watery eyes were still very bright, but the large dark circles under her eyes revealed her haggard appearance.
"Sister, you're tired!" Li Gan seemed to have thought of something as he gently pulled Rainbow Fairies into his arms.
"Believe me, the people who chased after us in Phoenix Ridge were Great Elder Sun Peng's people!" Rainbow Fairies took the opportunity to lean on Li Gan's shoulder and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"What?" Li Gan's expression changed slightly.
"Do you still remember that black-clothed woman who wanted your life? At that time, I felt that she was somewhat familiar. When I met Sun Ya in Spirit Forging Village, I guessed that it was her. "
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Li Gan lowered his voice even more.
"Without concrete evidence, would I dare to say anything? You know that the Great Elder is second only to the Great Elder in the Northern Wilderness Region. If I say that his daughter is the murderer, will anyone believe me? Moreover, if I point out Sun Ya, isn't that the same as pointing out Great Elder? If they turn around and say that I'm framing them, do you think Jeju will believe him or me? "
"Why did you only tell me now?!"
"If I didn't take the opportunity to deliver food to you, I wouldn't have had this opportunity. From the moment I left Spirit Forging Village, Sun Ya sent a few people to watch me. I think … they might have made their move."
Li Gan's brows furrowed even tighter!
So his eyes were right all along. That black-clothed woman was indeed Sun Ya!
After carefully thinking about what had happened, he realized that there were no flaws at all. Everything was so smooth and coherent.
Great Elder Sun Peng had personally appeared in Spirit Forging Village not to pursue the Phoenix Ridge Murder Case, but to use his noble status to send away the Jeju Union's people and keep Li Gan and other people who might know the truth. Then, he would set up a trap.
Li Gan's gaze kept changing. If he were Sun Peng, what kind of trap would he set up so that no one would suspect him?
He would definitely set up a group of black-clothed people to create a scene. In the chaos, he would kill himself, the Rainbow Fairies, and Wu Yan.
If in the chaos, he, the great Great Elder, was injured in a heroic battle, then the story would be even more perfect!
