Li Yi did not intend to isolate Li Xuan at all. It was much easier to deal with the stubborn Li Xuan than with the princess.
Gunpowder was too sensitive. Ordinary people were not allowed to touch it, not even the nobles other than the emperor. It was for his own good. The fewer people involved in this matter, the better. It was better for Li Xuan to stay out of it.
When he came back, the meal was ready. Xiao Huan was about to send a portion to Second Great Uncle.
Second Great Uncle was the oldest lonely old man in the village. No one had ever heard of him having a son or a daughter. In the past, all the families in the village took turns to send food to him every day.
"I'll go. You go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Li Yi saw that she was still wearing an apron. He picked up the wooden food box and walked to the opposite yard.
The door was not closed. It was pushed open with a gentle push. Second Great Uncle was napping in the rocking chair in the yard as usual.
Li Yi often saw him sitting on the chair at the door and basking in the sun. Occasionally, he would walk around the village with his walking stick and then come back to continue basking in the sun.
Ever since he got the rocking chair, the frequency of Second Great Uncle going out for a walk had decreased significantly …
This divine artifact was put to good use by Second Great Uncle.
Young people should bask in the sun more often, and the elderly should even more so. This was a very good habit of his second granduncle. Li Yi often felt that as the oldest person in the stockade village, this might be one of the secrets of his long life.
"Second Great Uncle, bask in the sun for a while. Remember to eat …"
Li Yi put the food box on a stone stool. He patted Second Great Uncle's shoulder gently and turned to walk out the door.
On the rocking chair, the old man's half-closed eyes slowly opened. Just as Li Yi was about to walk out, a voice reached his ears.
"Wait a minute."
He turned his head and saw the old man struggling to get up from the chair.
"Second Great Uncle, is there anything else?" Li Yi stood there and asked. He did not know what the old man wanted to say. Ruyi and the others were still waiting for him at home for dinner.
Second Granduncle raised his hand and waved at him. Although Li Yi was puzzled, he still walked over.
"Tsk tsk, your body is still too weak." Second Great Uncle looked up at him and shook his head.
Li Yi couldn't figure out the meaning behind his Second Great Uncle's words. Did he call him over just to say that his body was weak?
If one were to say who was weak, it should be him, right?
While he was thinking about this, Second Great Uncle had already straightened his body with the help of his walking stick. He patted his shoulder with his other hand.
Li Yi didn't dodge. He knew that Second Great Uncle liked to pat people's shoulders. Anyway, he wouldn't use much strength.
The next moment, a huge force came from his shoulder. He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Remember this force in your body and slowly try to guide it. Although your aptitude is not good, as long as you practice hard, in a few years, you won't be bullied outside." Second Great Uncle murmured. He opened the food box, put the food on the stone bench, and ate leisurely.
As he ate, he praised, "Ruyi's cooking is still the best. All the girls should learn from her …"
Li Yi stood there in a daze. He felt that there was indeed a weak flow of air flowing slowly in his body. Although the flow of air was so subtle that it could be ignored, it was the first time in his two lives that he had such a wonderful feeling.
"Is this the legendary True Qi?" Li Yi couldn't hide the surprise on his face. Liu Ruyi had clearly told him that with his aptitude, he might be able to sense Qi in a year or two if he practiced hard every day. But if he wanted to make greater progress, it was unlikely that he would be able to do so in this lifetime.
Therefore, Li Yi's dream of becoming a peerless master and dominating the martial arts world had been put on hold for a long time. He didn't have too much hope. He thought that if he were to do dangerous things in the future, he could take her with him. Wouldn't everything be solved?
However, comforting him was one thing. He finally had the possibility to realize his childhood dream, but the fire of hope that had just been ignited was ruthlessly extinguished by Miss.Liu. How could he not be disappointed and depressed?
At this moment, when he felt the flow of air, an unprecedented feeling of power filled his body. Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little excited.
As the saying goes, old ginger is spicier. He couldn't wait to hug Second Great Uncle's old face and kiss it a few times. But after looking down, he resisted the urge.
At this moment, the old man seemed to think of something. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Although it's a shortcut, it seems that there are some disadvantages to doing this. What exactly is it? I can't remember …"
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not think about it. It's not a big deal. At most, I'll be possessed by the devil and be injured or disabled. There's no danger to my life …"
The smile on Li Yi's face froze. He had an urge to jump up and curse.
What side effects? Why didn't he mention it before patting his shoulder? If he knew that this thing could cause people to be possessed by the devil and become disabled, he wouldn't have taken the risk no matter what …
Why did he pat her without her permission? What if he damaged her?
Of course, he wanted to become a master like Miss.Liu, but it would be meaningless if a master was injured or disabled.
At this moment, Second Great Uncle patted his head and said, "It doesn't seem that serious. Oh right, I remember now. Before achieving great success in martial arts, you must maintain your virginity. Otherwise, the day you lose your virginity will be the day you die … Eh, is that so?"
Li Yi rushed out of the door and didn't dare to listen anymore. He was worried that this old man would scare him and give him a heart problem. He was also worried that he couldn't help but fight with him. It didn't matter whether he could beat him or not. If he listened to him for a while longer, he might die of anger.
"What's wrong, husband? Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Yi hadn't come back after delivering food to Second Great Uncle for a long time. Liu Ruyi was about to go and have a look. Before she could stand up and leave the room, she suddenly saw him rushing in and asked hurriedly.
Li Yi was worried that what Second Great Uncle said just now was true. If that was the case, he would be fooled by him. Therefore, he immediately described what he had just said.
After listening to him, Liu Ruyi asked in surprise, "Husband, you already have the sense of Qi?"
She grabbed Li Yi's hand. After a moment, a smile appeared on her face and she said, "Don't worry, husband. I've been practicing martial arts for a long time. Even without Second Great Uncle, I'm afraid that I will have the sense of Qi in a few months. Second Great Uncle just helped you shorten the time by a few months."
In fact, she had thought of this before, but after all, she had just stepped into the Supreme Power Realm. If she forced him to break through like this, she was afraid that it would be dangerous, so she had never mentioned it.
"Really?" Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Ruyi's words were very credible.
Liu Ruyi nodded with a smile.
"Then is Second Great Uncle talking nonsense about not consummating the marriage before reaching the Advanced Kung Fu?" This was the question that Li Yi was most concerned about.
"Although this kind of Kung Fu exists, it is very rare in the whole martial arts world." Liu Ruyi looked at him and said, "The mental cultivation method that you practice will not affect you even if you consummate the marriage. You don't have to take Second Great Uncle's words seriously."
She was talking about the truth, but after she finished, she felt that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strange when she said it.
Xiao Huan's pretty face was red, and she just lowered her head to eat. Ruyi's expression was strange, and a faint blush could be seen on her face.
She finally understood something, and her face was also a little red.
After hearing Ruyi's explanation, Li Yi was finally relieved. Second Great Uncle was so disrespectful that he scared him so much. Next time when she sent him food, he would specially choose dishes that he didn't like …
He walked to the dining table and sat down. He picked up the chopsticks, looked up and asked in confusion, "Xiao Huan, why are you blushing?"
Then he turned to look at Liu Ruyi who was still standing at the door and said, "Why are you still standing there? Come and eat!"
