Insufficient balance

  Li Yi stared at Li Jiao for a long time, as if to confirm that he wasn't deceiving himself, before nodding slightly and saying: "Alright, so the next question... You just said Father won't live much longer, what exactly does that mean? Explain it to me."

  Li Jiao's face twitched for a moment, and then he smiled coldly. However, when he saw Li Yi's extremely calm eyes, his whole body trembled, and he swallowed the smile. In a slightly hoarse voice, he said: "It doesn't matter if I tell you this... Li Han... no... it should be Master Li, Master Li has been invited to Mo Manor tonight as a guest. On the surface, it's to discuss your marriage with Miss Mo, which would resolve that incident three months ago. But in reality..."

  Taking a glance at Li Yi's icy expression, Li Jiao swallowed another mouthful of saliva and continued: "Actually, the Mo family has already set their plan in motion. If Master goes this time, it will be a one-way trip..."

  Li Yi let out a cold hum and said lightly, "I think it's not that the Mo family made plans, but rather our Li family's elders had some sort of agreement with the Mo family. As for Father's life, it was probably just part of their plan... But then again, how could someone as great as Father be schemed against by a few old men? The outcome is still hard to say!"

  Li Jiao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly nodded: "Indeed, the master is indeed formidable. I think he has also understood what Grandfather and the others want to do... But he forgot one thing, Grandfather and the others are not fools. Why would they let the master see through it so easily? You know, visible betrayals are not scary, only those invisible betrayals are the most terrifying!"

  "Oh?" Li Yi looked at Li Jiao with a hint of a smile, "It seems that big brother you have learned to be clever, and can even say such words. Why don't you come tell me, what is visible betrayal, what is invisible betrayal, how?"

  Li Jiao shook his head and said: "I'm not clear what it means either, but Grandpa said so."

  "Is that so?" Li Yi rubbed his nose, "It seems that only by going to the Mo family in person will everyone understand what it means to betray without being seen...... So, big brother, I'll have to trouble you to come with me today. However, for safety's sake...I'd better disable you first..."

  Li Yi's words caused Li Jiao's face to change drastically, he shook his head quickly and said: "No! No! No! Young Master Li Yi! Young Master Li Yi! You might as well kill me, just kill me!"

  "Kill you? How can that be? Eldest Brother, you are my greatest talisman on this journey. How could I bear to let you die?" Li Yi patted his hand and slowly placed it on Li Jue's dantian, saying calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, as long as your qihai is shattered, making it impossible for you to absorb the world's original energy to cleanse your meridians again, that would render you useless, right?"

  Li Jiao just kept shaking his head, his eyes full of despair.

  After all, if Li Yi didn't kill him, he might still have a chance, but if Li Yi directly crippled him, then for someone as ambitious as him, even if he survived, it would be more painful than death.

  Li Yi looked at Li Jiao's expression, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and tapped Li Jiao's chest acupoint several times, temporarily sealing the yuanqi in his body, before shaking his head and saying, "Forget it."

  Li Yi was taken aback for a moment, then hastily said: "Thank you, Young Master Li Yi! Thank you, Young Master Li Yi!"

  "Don't thank me," Li Yi shook his head, "I'm not moving you, not because I don't dare to, but because I suddenly feel that there's someone else here who has more qualifications than me to take action against you. As for what she plans to do, even I couldn't guess."

  Li Jiao's face changed slightly, and before she could speak, Li Yi patted his hand lightly and said: "Nana sister, if you've seen enough, I think you can come down now. The night wind is cool, and it's not good to stay outside for too long!"

  A pale blue figure slowly walked in from the door, and the faint fragrance on Li Nana's body seemed to be unaffected by the bloody atmosphere in the room. She walked in lightly, her footsteps treading through the gaps in the bloodstains without getting stained with fresh blood, her slender figure fluttering like a butterfly in blood.

  She slowly walked to the limp Li Jiao, gently squatted down, and her gentle eyes fell on Li Jiao. Suddenly, she let out a soft sigh and said: "Li Jiao brother, how did you end up like this? You're not the one who always thought of yourself as the number one among the younger generation of the Li family? How can't you even handle a useless person like Li Yi today?"

  Seeing Li Nana's appearance, Li Jiao seemed to see the last straw of salvation. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and exclaimed: "Nana! It's you! You're fine! I thought you were also killed by this little devil, but unexpectedly you are safe and sound, it's really great!"

  Li Yi suddenly let out a cold laugh beside him, and Li Jiao's whole body trembled as if he had just remembered that the little ghost in his mouth was right next to him.

  Li Nana slowly shook her head, and her fingers, as white as jade, gently brushed against Li Jue's face: "Brother Li Jue, in my eyes, you are the sky, the earth, everything... For your sake, I even gave up several opportunities to study at Roland Academy. I always thought that only by doing so would the gap between us not be too great, and perhaps we could have a future together... But unexpectedly, in your eyes, I'm just a little **!"

  Li Nana smiled self-deprecatingly, but the warmth in her eyes gradually turned cold. She glanced at the three tribesmen who had died at Li Yi's hands and said icily, "If you wanted to humiliate me yourself, I wouldn't blame you... Who made me like you so much? But you brought these useless people to insult me together... Brother Li Jue, your heart is really ruthless!"

  Li Jiao's whole body trembled, and he forced a smile, saying: "Nana... Nana... those were just jokes, just joking. How could Li Jiao brother bear to part with you? As long as you save me from here today, I promise to treat you well in the future, I swear it, I swear it to the gods of heaven!"

  "Really?" A faint smile appeared on Li Nana's delicate face, "So for your sake, I really have to rescue you!"

  Li Nana's words suddenly brought a surge of frantic joy to Li Jue's heart, which was already trapped in tragedy. His eyes fell on Li Yi's side, and the anger in his eyes was not hidden: "Li Yi! What you have done today, I, Li Jue, will definitely repay tenfold and hundredfold in the future."

  Looking at Li Jiao's expression, Li Yi couldn't help but rub his nose. This good-for-nothing is indeed a good-for-nothing, he doesn't even understand his own situation and yet he wants to take revenge?

  Looking at Li Yiguo's strange expression, Li Jiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to understand something. He stretched out his hand with difficulty and grabbed Li Nana's wrist, saying urgently: "Nana, has this guy also caught you? If so, hurry up and run! Don't worry about me!"

  His image changed suddenly, and he also had a few points of self-reliant danger-bearing masculine charm.

  Li Nana slightly furrowed her brow in distaste, then pulled her hand out of Li Jiao's. She turned back to look at Li Yi and said calmly, "Has Li Jiao really been handed over to me for disposal?"

  Li Yi nodded and said, "Please go ahead."

  Nana nodded, turned around to look at Li Jiao's face, suddenly stretched out her hand and touched his head, smiled slightly: "Li Jiao brother, didn't you do a good job as a dog just now? But being the dog of Li Yitabao is really beneath your identity, why don't you be my dog from today on?"

  "Alright, alright..." Li Jiao's face was twisted in a scowl as he spoke rapidly, "As long as you can get that little brat to spare my life, then I'll be your dog, I'll do anything..."

  It seems that at this moment, Li Jiao finally understood who was the one in charge between Li Yi and Li Nana, but he didn't know if he was really so stupid or just pretending to be.

  Li Nana revealed a faintly sweet smile like a lily flower and said: "So, Brother Li Jiao, you agree?"

  "Agreed! Agreed!"

  "Never regret?"

  "I will never regret!"

  "Then Nana will fulfill you!" Along with a sigh, Li Nana's palm fell on Li Jiao's Dan Tian Qi Hai, emitting a dazzling light.

  Li Jiao let out a mournful cry, like a duck that had been choked for a long time. As the light at his dantian dimmed, his cries came to an abrupt halt. He looked as if he had aged several years in an instant, and his face turned even more sallow.

  Li Nana's previous move had shattered his dantian and qihai, the yuanqi he had cultivated with great difficulty was now completely dispersed, and he would never have another chance to cultivate it again in this life. From then on, Li Jiao was just an ordinary person, and he could no longer be associated with the strong.

  "Li Nana... Li Nana... you're good! You're very good!" Li Jiao suddenly shouted like a madman, "I know! I know! You must have an affair with this bastard! No wonder! No wonder! You betrayed me! You framed me! Li Nana...... as long as I, Li Jiao, am alive for one day, I will think of every way to take revenge on you! You just wait!"

  "Bang——"

  Li Nana slapped him with a loud slap, forcing Li Jiao's last half sentence into his belly. Then, with a backhand slap, she knocked him unconscious. Poor Li Jiao, his face, which had just recovered to its normal state, was now swollen like a pig's head once again.

  "What a terrifying girl..." The voice of the Snake Deity echoed in Li Yi's mind, and thinking about Li Nana's actions, it made even this extraordinary old monster have some admiration.

  Li Yi also touched his nose, it seems that in the future, no matter who you offend, don't offend a woman... when this woman goes crazy, she's a hundred times more terrifying than you can imagine, a hundred times...

  Nana slowly stood up, and she no longer looked at Li Jiao. Her eyes fell on Li Yi's face, and she let out a low sigh, saying: "Brother Li Yi, I really owe you one this time. If it weren't for you, Nana's fate would have been miserable... Today, Nana finally knows who is good to me and who is bad to me... So, if Brother Li Yi doesn't mind..."

  Li Yi was called "brother" by Li Nana with these two sentences, making his scalp feel numb. At this moment, although the loli is in front of him, calling him "brother" repeatedly, even if he had a hundred guts, he didn't dare to move Li Nana again. This woman... was really terrifying...

  However, it's not good to refuse directly, so Li Yi just hummed and shook his head, saying: "Nana sister, this is not the time for idle chatter. The Mo family must be visited no matter what... Are you going with me or hiding somewhere for the night? I think by tomorrow, everything will have settled down. If those old guys haven't died yet, then you should hide somewhere."

  Li Nana said calmly, "My life was also saved by Brother Li Yi, so if Brother Li Yi wants to go to the Mo family for a showdown, I, Li Nana, will naturally accompany him to the end. Brother Li Yi can rest assured that if I hold you back, just abandon me directly."

  Li Yixin couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, thinking that if he had really brought this little girl to the Mo's house and then let her go die on her own halfway there, the first person to kill him would probably be his own cheap old man.

  Thinking of this, Li Yi could only shake his head and say: "Never mind, just follow behind me and help me carry my weapons. Today it seems that not emptying the Li family's armory won't be enough for me to use. As for you, dog, bring him along too. No matter what, he is our greatest talisman on this trip..."
