Li Mo returned to his room and held the scarlet sword in excitement. A drop of his tongue's blood fell on the blade and the scarlet sword hummed!
Humph!
The sword hummed and when the blood entered the blade, the scarlet sword turned into a red light and disappeared into Li Mo's forehead!
A scarlet flame pattern flickered on Li Mo's forehead!
Li Mo could feel the connection between him and the scarlet sword!
With a thought, the scarlet sword would appear in his hand!
"What a treasure!" Li Mo praised inwardly.
But Li Mo soon got over the excitement of getting the scarlet sword!
No matter how many treasures he had, if the user wasn't strong enough, it would only be a gift to someone else. Li Mo understood the saying of treasures getting into trouble. With his current strength, he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse to have such a treasure!
The only way was to keep cultivating and get stronger!
Li Mo calmed his mind and sat cross-legged. Five Elements Qi revolved and he entered a state of cultivation!
"Liu Ming, do you know your mistake?"
At this time, in the meeting hall, Liu Chang He was sitting on the main seat. The three elders were seated below him, and Liu Ming was kneeling in the middle of the hall!
"I did nothing wrong!
You are all my elders and yet you are all siding with an outsider! "
Liu Ming's attitude was unyielding!
"Humph!
You bastard, you still don't recognize your mistake!
How did I get a good-for-nothing grandson like you! "
Second elder slapped the table and stood up. He was thoroughly disappointed in Liu Ming.
"Liu Ming, as a descendant of the Liu clan, you dare to bully the weak? Have you forgotten the clan's teachings?"
"Clan Leader, when did I bully the weak? Li Mo was the one who agreed to compete with me. I didn't force him. Liu Jing and Liu Yan were both there. Ask them if you don't believe me!"
"Enough!
Liu Ming, do you think we don't know what you're thinking?
I am your grandfather and they are your elders, watching you grow up. Do you think we don't know what you want to do?
Let me make it clear to you that you have no right to compete for the Liu clan leader's position! "
Second elder's words were like a bolt from the blue. Liu Ming stared blankly at his grandfather!
It seemed that his grandfather had long since grasped his little thoughts.
"No!
No!
I am the only successor of the Family Head of the Liu Family. My cultivation is the highest among the young people of the Liu Family, and my experience is incomparable to theirs!
Why are you doing this to me? Why! "
Liu Ming completely lost his composure. Like a mad lion, he roared furiously in the meeting hall.
"Alright!
I'll tell you why right now.
It's your narrow-mindedness and arrogance that ruined your future. You and Li Mo's duel had ill intentions to begin with, and you can't accept defeat. If the Liu clan were to be handed over to you, then the day of our demise wouldn't be far! "
Second Elder's eyes were filled with tears as he stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
His heart was filled with sorrow!
But for the future of the Liu Family, he had to make this decision!
He didn't want to do that, but the Liu Family's Masters were all upright people. They never associated themselves with villains. Although they weren't a famous family, they were still loved by the people in Fanyang County!
In the future, if the family was handed over to Liu Ming, with his character, the Liu Family would fall into desolation!
"Alright!
Since you're helping an outsider squeeze me, then what's the point of me staying in the Liu Family?
From now on, I, Liu Ming, am no longer a disciple of the Liu Family!
Your Liu Family will need my help in the future!
Just you wait and see! "
Liu Ming fiercely glanced at the people in the hall, as if they were his irreconcilable enemies!
He leaped out of the meeting hall and disappeared from the sight of Liu Changhe and the others!
"Bastard!" Liu Shixiao shouted, then froze on the spot. He reached out to stop Liu Changhe who was about to chase!
"He chose his own path. Let him go!"
"Second Elder, why are you doing this?
Just teach him a lesson. Liu Ming's parents are guarding the border. How are we going to explain this to them? "
"This kid is blinded by his desire for power, and is also treacherous and cunning. The Liu Family doesn't have such a descendant. Needless to say, I will speak to his parents. With a great enemy looming over our borders, we should think about how to retreat!
Don't mention this matter again! "
After Liu Shixiao finished speaking, he walked out of the meeting hall. Looking at his back, he seemed to have aged ten years!
"Big Brother, isn't Second Brother's method a little inappropriate? I think we should find Liu Ming and bring him back!"
"Third Brother, it's just like what your Second Brother said. Liu Ming has changed!
Let him be, but I hope he'll come back! "
…
A warhorse carried Liu Ming out of Fanyang County's city gates!
Liu Ming didn't think his return would end like this. He was so unwilling. He was so much stronger than Li Mo, yet he suffered such a crushing defeat.
The Liu Family's future Head was his, yet he was stripped of it!
Yet he didn't find fault with himself, but blamed it all on Li Mo.
If not for him, he wouldn't have been forced to leave the Liu Family in such a sorry state. Not to mention it was his own grandfather who forced him out!
"Li Mo, just you wait!
I, Liu Ming, will fight you to the death! "
Liu Ming swore in his heart as he ran along the official road towards the Lord Estate's Su City!
At least his master would be there to help him.
The Liu Clan's mood was heavy because of Liu Ming.
When Li Mo learned that Liu Ming cut ties with the Liu Clan, he felt sorry for him. He was the best of the Liu Clan's younger generation, and it was all because of Li Mo!
This made him feel guilty towards the Liu Clan. He didn't know if agreeing to Liu Ming's challenge was the right thing to do!
"Master!" Li Mo softly opened Liu Shizhong's door.
"Little Mo, what's the matter?"
"I want to go into the mountains and cultivate for a while!"
"Oh!
Is it because of Liu Ming? "
Liu Shizhong guessed Li Mo's intention!
"I-I, master, that's only one aspect, not the whole reason. The spiritual qi in the mountains is much richer than here. My cultivation is stuck, so I want to go for a walk!
Li Mo didn't hide anything from Liu Shizhong, speaking his mind!
"En, don't take Liu Ming's matter to heart. That kid has always had it easy. A setback might be a good thing for him!
Since you've decided, then go for a walk!
You must be careful. The enemy isn't far from the city!
You can't be impatient with your cultivation! "
"Yes!
Master, I understand! "
Li Mo left his master's room, packed a few clothes, and left in silence just like the first time!
"Uncle, will Li Mo leave without saying goodbye because of Liu Ming's matter?"
Liu Changhe came to the First Elder's courtyard and asked worriedly when he learned Li Mo was out.
"He won't!
Even if he wants to leave, he will say so.
I have a certain understanding of this child. As long as he unknots the knot in his heart, he will come back, and it won't be long. Don't worry!
You won't be able to run away! "
"Ha-ha … uncle, you even saw through me!"
"I'd be a fool if I couldn't see through that lass Yan 'er's attitude towards Li Mo!
But from little Mo's attitude, if the two of them really get together, you've found yourself a good son-in-law! "
"Ha-ha …!"
