Chapter 37 - Relatives Without Bloodlines

”Big Brother, are you still blaming Xue'er for giving you the poisonous Spirit Channel Pill back then? Xue'er really didn't do it on purpose …”

Li Xue stopped crying after hearing what Li Mu said. She knew that her brother must have met with some kind of accident. Otherwise, Li Mu, who had always doted on her, to the point of even surpassing her, would not treat her in such a way.

”That's right!” It's all because of you. If you weren't so stupid and got used by that bastard Li Feng, I wouldn't be where I am today! Now that you know the answer, you can scram! ”

Li Mu roared angrily at Li Xue. Although he could not bear it, he still made up his mind.

After Li Xue finished listening to her explanation, she nodded sensibly. Then, she stood up and ran off into the distance, leaving behind her sorrowful wails that still echoed in Li Mu's ears.

”Hehe, it's time to leave. Li Family … It will never be a concern of mine ever again! ”

Li Mu muttered to himself, looking at the sky with a bitter smile, he forced the tears out of his eyes.

”Wood, what's wrong with you? She is still a child, and it would be cruel to her. ”

Ren Xiaoyao's voice transmitted into Li Mu's ears. Like a ghost, he silently arrived beside Li Mu and sat down.

”Brother Ren, do you think it's funny that Li Zhengkun did not deserve to be the Li Family's Patriarch and my father? No, Li Zhenglong, he said that he wouldn't help me, but I was an outsider in the end, and did not even have the Li Family's bloodline. ”

Li Mu laughed at himself, his tone filled with loneliness.

”What did you say?” You don't have the Li Family bloodline? Could it be that you were picked up by the Li family? ”Stop teasing me!”

Ren Xiaoyao had a face full of disbelief, thinking that Li Mu was joking with him.

”I don't believe it either, but it is true. Ai, from now on, I will have to travel together with you and wander around!”

Li Mu laughed bitterly.

”Wood, do you mean it, not... How could you not be of the Li family bloodline? Isn't this nonsense! ”

Ren Xiaoyao still felt that this was unbelievable.

”I was carried by my grandfather from outside. Everything is real, what's wrong? Don't you want me to go with you? ”

”Of course! If you aren't the young master of the Li family after all this time, then what about the silver you owe me? You can't be thinking of reneging on your debt, right? ”

Ren Xiaoyao replied seriously:

Li Mu laughed, he gratefully looked at Chen Xiaoyao, he obviously did not believe that he cared about the money, the reason he said that was to ease his heart.

Ren Xiaoyao patted Li Mu's shoulders and comforted him: ”Alright! ”Don't think too much about it. This world is so big, so what's so bad about traveling with me. Life should be carefree and at ease. Where did all these worries come from?!”

Li Mu nodded his head. Wandering the world with Ren Xiaoyao perhaps was truly a good choice.

When night fell, Li Mu lay on his bed for a long time without falling asleep.

First, it was the experience of the past sixteen years. Each and every familiar face, each and every familiar person. Most of them were from the Li family. In the end, the number of people he knew was quite limited.

When he thought about Leng Qingcheng, he remembered that woman, who was as cold as ice and as beautiful as the frost that could topple nations. He had even once told her with a smile that he would marry her when he cultivated to the True King Realm.

”I wonder when he will recover his Essence. If only he was here, I wouldn't be unable to find someone to talk to.”

Thinking about that, Li Mu started to worry. Ever since the Sunset Valley had sent him the Spiritual Sense to use on him, he had not woken up.

”Mu Er, are you asleep?”

Suddenly, Li Yuncheng's voice came out from outside the room.

Li Mu felt that it was a little strange hearing it, but he still got up and opened the door.

Li Yuncheng laughed, and walked to the side of the table and sat down.

”Senior …” What's the matter? ”

Facing Li Yuncheng, who didn't know how to address him, there was no way he could call him grandfather anymore. Calling him by name also showed that Li Yuncheng was disrespectful to him.

Upon hearing Li Mu calling him senior, the previously smiling Li Yuncheng's face immediately darkened, and said: ”You stinking brat, with my age, Li Yuncheng, can't I be your grandfather!”

”Senior can naturally be my grandfather, but …”

”But I am not your grandfather! We don't have any blood ties, do we? ”

Li Yuncheng interrupted Li Mu's words, his face full of anger.

Li Mu remained silent and agreed to Li Yuncheng's words. To him, wanting to treat the other party as his close relative was extremely difficult.

”Sigh, I already knew that the result would be like this, hehe, to think that I only told you after you grew up, and even sent a death order to all the people in Li Residence who knew about it, I definitely can't say anything about you.”

”I don't blame you for not recognizing me as your grandfather, but it really isn't right for you to not recognize your father and Xue'er.”

”I know what you're thinking. You just want to leave the Li Family, and have nothing to do with us from now on, right? That way, you can leave in peace. ”

”But let me tell you, Li Mu, people's emotions are not linked by blood, it's by this place!”

Li Yuncheng said as he pointed to his own heart.

Li Mu still did not speak, but from the expression on his face, it was obvious that he was moved.
