Volume 1: The World of Qi 037. White Robed Judge

  Seeing Li Yi walk in, Mo Er's face clearly looked several degrees worse, but he was after all a figure of some importance, and so he forced out a smile, slightly bowed his head, didn't even bother to stand up, and merely said indifferently: "Young Master Li Yi is indeed a natural-born talent, it seems the master of the Li household has picked up a treasure this time... however..."

  Here is the translation:

  At this point, Mo Er Ye suddenly revealed a profound and mysterious expression. His pale face flushed with a hint of redness, which faded away after a moment. He then coughed slightly and said calmly: "That matter, even if Young Master Li Y has satisfied our Mo family, it's not that easy to resolve. As for today, I will definitely go back and report to the master of the house. Whether or not the master of the house can accept it is beyond my knowledge."

  Hearing him say so, Li Han took a slight step forward and said in a low voice: "Then I'll have to trouble Mo Er again."

  As he spoke, Li Han's right hand slightly trembled, and the tip of his finger seemed to flicker with a faint glow. Then, his wide sleeve quickly slid over Mo Er Ye's cuff.

  It seems that there is something extra in his hand, Mo Er Ye smiled with satisfaction and stood up, saying: "Li family master has a good heart."

  "I dare not," Li Han nodded, "so that matter will still require Lord Mo to speak a few more words."

  "This is natural, so please rest assured, Mr. Li. I'll take my leave now." As he spoke, Mo Er Ye stood up and slowly clapped his hands, and the several guards who were originally in the corner followed him as they slowly walked down from the stage.

  The three old men hesitated for a moment before coughing and quickly followed.

  Looking at the two figures that almost simultaneously disappeared, a cold smile appeared on Li Han's mouth, but this expression was only fleeting.

  On the other hand, Long Ao Tian, who was standing aside, saw this scene and his face changed slightly. After a moment, he smiled faintly and said, "It seems that the relationship between the Li family and the Mo family is indeed very good..."

  Upon hearing this faint tone, Li Han smiled slightly. It's worth noting that the three major families in Wancheng have always been at odds with each other, and any one of them wants to swallow up the other two to expand their own power. However, none of the families have the strength to confront the other two alone, and if they form an alliance with one family, they fear being bitten back at any time. At the same time, every family is also afraid that the other two will join forces to deal with them, and they take precautions against this and try to disrupt it, which is why the relationship between the three major families in Wancheng has been so strange for so many years.

  At this moment, Long Aotian's tone was clearly hinting at something, and Li Han understood it very well. Moreover, he had deliberately shown a strange relationship with Mo Er Ye in front of Long Aotian, just to make the young master notice something.

  At this moment, Li Han's eyes swept across the ugly face of the old man on one side, and he said lightly: "The relationship between the Li family and the Mo family is just that, but if Young Master Long returns, it would be better to tell the master of the Long family that I, Li Han, invite him to come to the mansion as a guest, and there are important matters to discuss in detail."

  Long Ao Tian revealed an "I see" expression, then burst out laughing and said: "In that case, I'll take my leave. As for this matter, I will certainly discuss it with Father in detail."

  Li Han smiled and patted Long Ao Tian's shoulder, then casually set a time before letting someone send him off. As for the other guests, seeing Li Han's attitude, they all stood up to bid farewell one after another. Before long, the originally crowded VIP area became sparse.

  The three elders and the fourth elder exchanged a glance, seemingly wanting to say something, but seeing Li Han's attitude, they couldn't help but flick their sleeves and leave with their people.

  The scene before him left Li Yi bewildered, he glanced at the inscrutable Old Man Bao, only to slightly furrow his brow.

  This expression fell into Li Han's eyes, but he smiled and said, "What? Don't you understand what I'm doing?"

  Li Yi nodded and said, "Indeed, I don't understand."

  Li Han smiled coldly and said lightly, "If my guess is not wrong, if you lose today at the clan meeting, those four old ghosts will unite with some of the people who were present earlier to use your three-month-old incident as an excuse to pressure you, just like I did. However, they absolutely won't expect that in the end, you'll emerge victorious. In this situation, their plan will naturally fall through... I gave that greedy and lustful Mo Er Ye a few thousand gold coins, and also pulled strings with Long Ao Tian. Those four old ghosts can't figure out what I'm really after. With their cunning, they won't dare to do anything in this unfavorable situation. It's just that there will be more trouble in the future... For these days, you don't need to go to the back mountain forbidden area to cultivate. Just stay at home and wait with me to see what kind of big show those four old ghosts are going to put on."

  Li Yi revealed a faint smile and said: "Please rest assured, Father. Even if they want to take advantage of me, it's not going to be easy."

  "Is that so?" Li Han glanced at Li Yi, slightly shaking his head. "You little devil, I'm getting more and more unable to see through you... but as long as you can live well, that's all that matters."

  Li Han's tone suddenly changed, his eyes fell on the corner of the VIP seat, and he said in a low voice: "Yi'er, the people from the Long and Mo families are nothing, even if their relationship is good, it's fake. But these two, if you can get along with them, that would be the real benefit..."

  Li Yi followed Li Han's gaze and coincidentally met the eyes of the two white-robed men in the corner, his eyes jumped at once. These two guys from Dou Shen Temple were absolutely not simple!

  Li Yi's hand, which was holding Yun Huangjie's, slightly clenched before he deliberately revealed a puzzled expression and asked, "Father, who are these two?"

  "Have you heard of the Dou Shen Temple?" Li Han rarely showed a cautious expression, "These two are white-robed priests of the Dou Shen Temple. Although their position in the temple is the lowest, they are still people we can't afford to offend..."

  Saying that, Li Han made a gesture and pulled Li Yi to quickly walk in front of the two white-robed men. He revealed a hint of a smile and said: "I didn't expect that today, Xia Chen Ge and Bei De Shuang Ge would condescend to visit, making my Li family flourish. However, earlier there were too many outsiders, so I was afraid of revealing your identities, therefore I intentionally kept a distance from you both. Please don't take offense."

  Both of them wore white robes, their facial expressions were inexplicably calm, but it was this calmness that emitted a kind of frightening and dangerous aura.

  The man sitting on the left was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with an extremely ordinary face, belonging to the kind of person who had seen hundreds of times and couldn't remember what he looked like. The man on the right, however, looked only in his twenties, with an extremely handsome face, pale skin that seemed almost translucent, with a faint glow, a pair of silent eyes slightly narrowed, as if nothing mattered to him, but occasionally flashing from his eyes was a murderous intent that made one's heart skip a beat.

  These two men with different appearances seemed to be quite satisfied with Li Han's attitude, and after a moment, the middle-aged man nodded and said: "Master Li is joking, we came uninvited today, and I'm afraid Master Li won't mind. As for the places in Wancheng that are worth our attention, there aren't many indeed..."

  His tone was flat, but there was a faint air of arrogance emanating from him, as if he didn't need to try hard to be superior.

  Although this middle-aged man was so arrogant, Li Han still smiled and said: "Bed Double Pavilion is joking, it's an honor to get the attention of the priests of the Dou Shen Temple... but I don't know what brought Bed Double Pavilion and Xia Chen Pavilion here this time?"

  Bei Dou burst out laughing and said: "Talking to Master Li is always a pleasure! Today, we have come for two matters that require your assistance. If successful, the Divine Fist Hall will surely reward you handsomely!"

  Li Han was slightly taken aback, but quickly asked: "What's going on?"

  "This is the first time," Bai De glanced at Li Yi beside him, then continued, "A noble son like you, it's a rare talent that can be seen only once in a hundred years. If he's interested, he can come to our Dou Shen Temple to take a look. I happen to have a vacancy under me, if the young master doesn't mind..."

  Li Han's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Bed Double Pavilion, this matter is indeed of great importance. Although I dare not refuse your kindness, such a big thing should still be considered by Li Mou."

  Bai De nodded slightly and said calmly, "It doesn't matter, the ceremony to worship the gods won't start for three months anyway. During this time, the master of the Li family can take his time to consider it, and when the time comes, just give me a definite answer. However, I still want to say that both the Long and Mo families have already chosen their candidates. If someone from either of these two families enters the Dou Shen Temple, I'm afraid the situation for the Li family..."

  He said this, and Bai De gave Li Han a deep look, with a hint of a smile in his eyes. He continued: "As for the second matter, we want to ask the Li family to use all their influence in Wancheng City to find someone for us. As long as they can find that person, it will be considered a favor owed by our Dou Sheng Temple to the Li family..."

  Li Han smiled and said, "I don't know who Bede wants to find in the Twin Pavilions."

  Bei Dou and Xia Chen exchanged a glance, after a moment, Xia Chen, who had been silent all along, slowly pulled out a sheepskin scroll from his sleeve and spread it on the table in front of him, pointing with his finger and saying lightly: "It's this person."

  Li Yi's gaze followed Xia Chen's pointing finger and looked over, his eyes twitching again. The person who appeared on the painting was not someone else, but Yu Lin!
