Longmen Town's mouth.
There was wind and sand coming from afar.
”Father, will the butterfly valley's Duan Clan Chief really come today?” Li Wuguo stood respectfully by the side of a middle aged man, looking into the distance, he asked softly.
He did not have that arrogant appearance from three days ago. Instead, he stood in front of this middle-aged man like a young master from an aristocratic family.
”Today is the day Li Tianque returns to the Longmen. That Patriarch of the Duan of the butterfly valley, Duan Luoqiu, is an old fox. If he doesn't want his precious daughter Duan Surou to marry a madman, he will definitely come.” The middle-aged man sneered.
The middle-aged man looked to be around forty years old and wore a purple embroidered golden robe. From head to toe, he gave off an imposing aura, and he was the current patriarch of the Longmen Lee, Li Zhenting.
”Hmph, I wonder how long that Stinky kid Li Ye has spent cultivating, to actually be able to set an engagement with Su Rou.” Li Wuguo's face was filled with envy and anger, but then he started to gloat, ”Hmm, so what if we're betrothing a marriage, if he's crazy now, how can Su Rou agree to this marriage?”
Li Zhenting frowned slightly, and with a profound look he glanced at Li Wuguo, then said lovingly: ”Guo'er, your big brother's heart is not here. He has been drunk on training, and in the future, he will definitely leave this Great Desolation for Barbarian Region. The position of the Longmen Lee's Patriarch will definitely be passed to you when I get old. If you and Su Rou are able to become sworn brothers and become Li Clan's relatives, it would be a good thing. ”
Hearing that, Li Wuguo was overjoyed, ”We will depend on Father!”
Since he was young, Li Wuguo had already loved Duan Surou for a long time. Now, seeing that Li Zhenting had the intention of matchmaking for him, he was truly overjoyed.
”Eh? Oh right, why haven't I seen that madman Li Ye for the past few days? ” Li Zhenting looked around, and suddenly frowned and asked.
Li Wuguo curled his lips, ”Who knows where that madman has been recently. Hmph! It would be better if they were eaten outside by the demon beasts! ”
Li Ye would go missing every few days for a period of time, which was nothing new in the Longmen Town.
Initially, Li Zhenting was still worried, but after sending people to follow Li Ye for a long time, they realised that Li Ye was not abnormal and only wandered around outside of Longmen Town Town in a muddled state, so they let go of their worries.
If he was eaten by demon beasts outside Longmen Town, it would be a good thing. This way, at least when Li Tianque returned, he would be able to get rid of the problem completely.
”Father!” Look, someone from Duan is here! ”
Li Wuguo's eyes lit up as he looked into the distance and said excitedly.
In the distance, a stream of thick smoke billowed over. The sound of fierce horses could still be vaguely heard.
In the blink of an eye, the horse carriages that were travel worn out rushed and arrived at the Longmen Town's entrance.
The one leading the group was around 30 years old, dressed in a white robe, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, looking extremely handsome, it was the patriarch of Duan of the butterfly valley, Duan Luoqiu.
Behind him was a group of Duan clansmen. Surrounded in the middle by the Duan clansmen was a simple and unadorned carriage.
”Patriarch Li, long time no see. How have you been?” Duan Luoqiu jumped down from her horse and smiled to Li Zhenting.
Li Zhenting cupped his fists in return, but anxiously asked: ”Clan Leader Duan, you are being too courteous, have you seen Li Tianque while you were here?”
For the past three years, the name Li Tianque had been pressing down on his heart like a nightmare, making him feel as if he had something stuck in his throat.
Duan Luoqiu shook his head, a look of anxiousness flashed past her eyes, ”I've never seen it before.”
”Your butterfly valley is the only path that Great Desolation must take to get to Barbarian Region. Has there been any news of Li Tianque during these past three years?” Li Zhenting asked again.
Duan Luoqiu nodded her head, her expression turning ugly, ”I do have some information, but I'm not sure if it's true or not.”
”What news?” Li Zhenting asked anxiously.
”Half a year ago, it was said that … It's been said that he has already broken through the yellow level Soul Scholar and reached the profound level. ” Duan Luoqiu said in a heavy voice.
