Chapter 444 Returning Home

Li Hanxue was a little confused. It was just a trip home. Why did Su Xiaoya show such an expression?

For Li Hanxue, it was just a simple visit to her father, but for Su Xiaoya, the meaning was very unusual.

"Then let's take advantage of the early time and get on the road." Li Hanxue looked at the horizon. "This place is far away from my Li Mansion. The fastest speed will take six hours."

The two flew at a moderate speed. After two hours, the sky gradually darkened.

The two found a small shop in a small town along the way and stayed overnight. The next morning, they continued their journey. It took another four hours to pass through the Canglan Outer Courtyard, and then went straight to the Li Mansion in Haoyue City after leaving Cangyun City.

"Finally arrived." Li Hanxue and Su Xiaoya arrived at the gate of Li Mansion.

The two guards at the gate looked happy, and one of them said to the other: "The young master is back, hurry up and report to the clan leader that the young master is back."

One of them hurried to Li Qi's residence in the Li Mansion, while the other welcomed Li Hanxue into the Li Mansion.

"Young master, is this girl your friend?"

"My sister."

"Hello, my name is Su Xiaoya." Su Xiaoya showed her white teeth and smiled.

The guard was surprised. Such a charming woman could greet him, a servant, and he was really flattered.

"Young Master's friend is incredible. He is either a very scheming person or a natural born aristocrat." The guard was also very smart. He talked to Li Hanxue while leading the way. "Young Master, since the incident with Elders Li Zong and Li Ming in Yuntai Square, you have never returned to the Li Mansion. It has been a year and a half since then, right?"

"Yes, a year and a half." Li Hanxue looked around and saw that the surrounding grass and trees were still the same as before. The palm print on the Tongren statue in the yard was still there. It was the palm print left when he first obtained the Nine Yin Cultivation Divine Art and broke through to the seventh level of Duanwu Realm.

"Have there been any major changes in our Li family in the past year and a half?"

"I dare not make irresponsible comments on these things."

Li Hanxue laughed, "I made a mistake."

A servant, in order to protect himself, would never make irresponsible comments on the affairs of the rulers.

Walking into the depths of Li's mansion, a middle-aged man in his forties stood with his hands behind his back. After hearing the footsteps, he suddenly turned around. The moment he saw Li Hanxue, his heart was already surging, but he became calmer.

"Hanxue, you're back." Li Qi showed a tired smile.

Li Hanxue was also excited and responded heavily, "Daddy, I'm back."

"Who is this?" Li Qi looked at Su Xiaoya.

"She is Xiaoya, a student of the same period as me." Li Hanxue smiled.

"Uncle, hello, my name is Su Xiaoya." Su Xiaoya smiled, "We have met before."

A year and a half ago, Li Hanxue's martial veins were exhausted. When Su Xiaoya came to visit Li Hanxue, she was rejected by Li Qi.

Li Qi thought carefully and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Miss Su."

"Uncle, just call me Xiaoya." Su Xiaoya said.

"Please sit down." Li Qi said.

The three sat down.

Li Qi said with a smile, "Hanxue, you are finally back. How have you been doing in Canglan Academy over the past year?"

Li Hanxue briefly recounted the events from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, and Li Qi listened attentively.

"It turns out there is an inner courtyard. This Canglan Academy is really not simple." Li Qi smiled, "Hanxue, how far have you cultivated now? Have you entered the Xuanwu realm?"

Li Qi was a little uneasy. If Li Hanxue entered the Xuanwu realm, then this time Li Hanxue came back, just in time for him to inherit the position of clan leader. If not, then Li Hanxue would not have enough strength to convince the crowd.

Li Hanxue smiled slightly, "Dad, I entered the Xuanwu realm a year ago."

"Okay, that's great." Li Qi laughed, "Come on, tell them to choose a day to hold the clan leader succession ceremony."

"Dad, I'm not even 20 years old yet, it's a bit too early to inherit the position of clan leader." Li Hanxue said.

"Hey, what are you talking about? The position of clan leader should be held by the capable. Hanxue, you are already a strong person. With you managing the clan, you will definitely be more intimidating than an old man like me. Many things are bumpy for me, but they are not a problem for you." Li Qi talked about the many sorrows of being the head of the clan.

"But Daddy, I still want to continue my studies in the inner courtyard." Li Hanxue said with difficulty, "I am afraid I don't have much time to stay in the clan."

"That's a problem. Daddy can't let you delay your martial arts career for the clan's affairs." Li Qi said with difficulty.

After hearing this, the family housekeeper Zhao suggested: "Master, why not do this... Young Master has the strength of a black warrior, and after inheriting the position of clan leader, he can deter those who have evil intentions, and then let the master be the acting clan leader, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?"

Li Qi smiled and said: "Yes, it's a good idea."

"But..."

Li Qi smiled and said: "Hanxue, don't say but. Let's just decide it."

Li Hanxue repeatedly refused, but Li Qi had made up his mind, and Li Hanxue couldn't disobey Li Qi's wishes.

During the banquet, the father and son talked happily. The night was dark, and Li Qi was very happy. After eating and drinking, Li Qi was a little drunk. With the help of Li Hanxue, he returned to his room and fell asleep.

Afterwards, Li Hanxue arranged a place for Su Xiaoya to live.

Late at night, in an old house in Li Mansion, under a yellow light, two figures swayed slightly.

"Have you heard? That little bastard Li Hanxue is back."

"How could I not know? I still remember the revenge he took for killing my son that day."

"I heard that he came this time to inherit the position of patriarch."

"He must not be allowed to inherit the position of clan leader. Otherwise, not only will the two of us be ostracized or even suppressed to death, but all members of our clan will also be implicated, and we will never be able to stand out in the clan."

"But it is said that he has become a high-ranking black warrior. How can we deal with him? And the old guys in the elders don't support us."

The two were silent for a long time, and their voices disappeared.

Suddenly, someone said: "I have a way. There is a demon gate hidden in our Haoyue City."

"What? You actually want to ask the Demon Sect for help? Do you know that once we get involved with them, we will never be able to escape from their hands in this life."

"Instead of letting that little bastard control the whole clan, it's better for us to control it. Although the Demon Sect is cruel, they still have some moral principles as long as they provide sufficient benefits."

"What price do you promise to pay?"

"The lives of three hundred strong men in the clan, and the income of the whole clan for three years."

"Why……"

The two seemed to have reached a consensus. They were clearly the two people who made things difficult for Li Hanxue, Li Zong and Li Ming.
