Chapter 568 Li Yuan is here?
Guagua: [Leaving the guard is just a basic operation.]
Poor Li Yuan returned to Li Huo Palace and forgot everything about his eldest son.
They were too busy tracking down Elder Gong's whereabouts to care about the people in that small village.
Unfortunately, this medicine is still not foolproof.
Six months later, Li Yuan was injured again while on a mission in the martial arts world.
Because this mission involved the entire martial arts world.
Li Yuan's injuries were severe, but fortunately the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was there for him.
It saved his life, but also inadvertently neutralized the effects of the drug!
Shen Zhao: [Thinking back on those things from afar, I can't help but feel angry!]
He originally appeared to be a stern old father, and he didn't seem very gentle towards Li Guang.
He even got tricked by his eldest son; he has to be brought back quickly and given a good talking-to!
Guagua: [Host, you really shouldn't say that.]
Upon waking up, Li Yuan's face was a mixture of red and blue.
There was also a hint of awkward pride mixed in.
However, due to the heavy workload of that mission in the martial world, he cannot return to Li Huo Palace for the time being.
Another year passed before Li Yuan finally had the energy to return to Li Huo Palace to handle palace affairs.
And this time, something else happened!
Shen Zhao asked curiously,
[Guagua, what's up?]
Guagua: [Chang Mingrou made a request to Li Yuan.]
Should we arrange a marriage for our eldest son, who has yet to be found?
Shen Zhao: [Engaged?]
What do you mean? Li Wei hasn't even returned yet, is finding a fiancée such a hassle?
Guagua: [It's precisely because Li Wei hasn't returned yet that Chang Mingrou is anxious.]
Li Yuan once mentioned to her that when Li Guang turned twenty, she should find him a wife with a respectable background.
In another year or two, when Li Guang's son is born, Li Yuan will have to give up his position as the Palace Master.
After going through this whole process, how could Chang Mingrou possibly maintain any control over her power?
More importantly, if Li Guang marries a woman from the martial arts world, it will be a powerful alliance.
The position of Young Palace Master is now firmly secured; what can Li Wei possibly offer to contend for it?
Shen Zhao: [In the end, she still has the heart of a loving mother.]
Everything Chang Mingrou did was for her eldest son.
She doesn't want to have a second child, nor does she want to adopt anyone else; her whole life is dedicated to her lost son.
This kind of love is so touching!
But in reality, Li Wei might not be able to repay such wholehearted maternal love!
Guagua: [Host, let's not talk about this for now.]
Chang Mingrou proposed to get engaged.
I think it's ridiculous from a distance!
After all, Li Wei had not yet been brought back, nor had his existence been announced.
What can I do to guarantee another woman from the martial arts world a lifetime of happiness?
But soon, Meng Jiaojiao became bedridden.
For a month, the news that the person in the West Palace was really going to die was circulating throughout the Li Huo Palace.
Even more coincidentally, Li Guang was sent out to escort a batch of goods belonging to Li Huo Palace.
In all these years, Chang Mingrou has never been so cruel to Meng Jiaojiao again.
Not only distance, but even distance from the light gradually eroded some of my vigilance.
Everyone agreed that if Li Wei wasn't found, Chang Mingrou would spare Meng Jiaojiao's life!
Upon hearing this, Li Guang's expression changed, and he immediately looked at Uncle Shen beside him.
At that time, he went out, accompanied by another of his father's trusted confidants.
Uncle Shen did not come along; he remained in the palace to help him with affairs.
Uncle Shen avoided eye contact, not daring to meet the gaze of his young master, a gaze that seemed to see right through people.
At the same time, he smiled bitterly to himself, realizing that this past event had been brought up again.
That time, the one in the West Palace was on the verge of death.
But the palace master quickly relented and saved her life.
The palace master forbade him to tell anyone, fearing that the young palace master might act impulsively.
Li Guang's face turned deathly pale for a moment, realizing that his birth mother had suffered such treatment.
No wonder she kept urging him to take revenge and to bring Chang Mingrou to her.
Looking back on those years, did Chang Mingrou really not do anything more outrageous to his birth mother?
Seeing Uncle Shen's excessive silence, Li Guang let out a sarcastic smile!
He achieved his goal of distancing himself from Chang Mingrou; his hatred for her was far less intense than that for his birth mother.
Uncle Shen glanced at the young palace master's appearance and knew it was all over.
This time, the young master will definitely have a fight with Madam Chang.
Shen Zhao was unaware that the atmosphere here had suddenly turned icy cold as he analyzed the situation.
So that's the reason.
Chang Mingrou can achieve her goals by threatening Meng Jiaojiao's life.
Because we're far away, we can't afford to let anything really happen to Meng Jiaojiao!
Suddenly, a rhythmic knocking sound came from outside.
There was a knocking sound, but no one spoke.
Uncle Shen immediately realized what was happening and looked at the young palace master.
After all, there are people guarding the door, yet people are allowed to knock on it at will.
Moreover, judging from that person's breathing, it was long and steady without revealing any emotion, indicating that he was a trained martial artist.
Without needing to think any further, I knew who was outside.
Li Guang noticed the person's presence a split second earlier than Uncle Chen.
He was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything!
The person outside was patient enough to knock five times and then stop.
This went on and on until Shen Zhao could no longer bear it.
She got up while asking questions.
[Guagua, who's that outside?]
Instead of knocking, you might as well just come in.
It's impolite anyway, showing up uninvited, it's all the same!
Before Guagua could speak, Shen Zhao had already opened the door to the private room.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, or rather, upon seeing the upright figure, Shen Zhao exclaimed in surprise.
Then I looked up and saw the distinct outline and the deep, dark eyes.
Shen Zhao sighed again and quickly looked away.
Guagua: [Host, what's wrong with you?]
[With all those sighs and exclamations, what do you think happened to you?]
Shen Zhao left the door open and walked back by himself.
Guagua, you don't understand!
When I first saw that slender figure, I wondered who it was.
When I looked up, I saw someone repeating the same thing over and over.
The problem is, I really dislike this person.
Although his face is alright, what kind of things did he do?!
I don't know how we ended up here. Are we looking for Li Guang?
Li Yuan, dressed in casual clothes, stepped into the private room.
He heard two different voices from the beginning, and his brow twitched slightly.
Without making a sound, he focused his attention on the girl who had just walked away.
At their first meeting, he shouldn't have seen the girl speak, yet he could hear her voice.
Whether it was a heartfelt message or ventriloquism, Li Yuan became interested for the first time.
He wondered why his cold-hearted son hadn't returned after an hour.
Li Yuan concealed the slightest hint of emotion that had escaped his notice, and his entire demeanor was impeccably composed and appropriate.
He strode over, his gaze already unconsciously sweeping around the table.
As expected, everyone who was supposed to be there was there.
Li Zhou nestled against his mother, seeing his grandfather, who usually doted on him.
He couldn't help but call out, "Grandfather, you've come too."
Upon seeing her stern father-in-law, Chen Wanhe instinctively flashed a docile smile and whispered,
"father-in-law"
I dared not say another word and quickly lowered my head to avoid his sharp gaze.
Li Yuan had no ill feelings towards the mother and son, and nodded slightly.
Her gaze returned to her youngest son.
With just one glance, he knew the kid was angry.
