"Wang Qiang, I will be leaving soon so I called you here to give you some instructions."
For Wang Qiang to survive among the deceitful Wen clan, he had to have something special about him. He understood Li Mo's meaning.
"Rest assured, clan leader. As long as I, Wang Qiang, am alive, no outsider will touch the Li clan!"
Ever since the Wen clan became the Li clan, Li Mo was called clan leader by the servants. Bai Xiao told them in private that Li Mo was the only one who had the final say in this clan.
"I am at ease with you taking care of things, but as for the others, I am afraid something might happen!"
The others referred to the guards and servants of the clan. Wang Qiang was well aware of this.
"Patriarch, I can guarantee this with my head. All the guards and servants in the mansion, including myself, were forced by Wen Zhong and his son, as well as the housekeeper Lai Fu. In fact, we were all born in poverty, so we naturally didn't want to do such heinous things. However, we had no choice, and we all had to make a living.
But ever since we followed clan leader, we have been freed. We all want to follow clan leader and do great things. How could we betray the clan leader? "
Li Mo stared into Wang Qiang's eyes, hoping to see something.
But Wang Qiang's eyes were sincere, without a trace of falsehood.
"Good!
Wang Qiang, take good care of Bai Xiao's mother when I leave. If you neglect her in the slightest, don't blame me for turning against you. You've seen what I can do! "
"Yes, clan leader!
If anything happens, I, Wang Qiang, will deal with it. "
Even if the Li clan changed hands, Li Mo wouldn't care. What worried him the most was Bai Xiao's mother. She only lived once, and money could be earned again.
"Good!
Since you've said so, I will be a petty man if I still worry. Wang Qiang, I leave the Li clan to you!
Go do what you need to do. "
"Yes!
Clan leader. "
Watching Wang Qiang's back, Li Mo nodded. He was a man with keen eyes, able to discern Wang Qiang's sincerity and loyalty.
It was impossible for him to stay in Taiping Town forever. Therefore, he had to find a reliable helper for Bai Xiao through this.
…
Li Mo's second priority was to cultivate. He had to adjust his condition to its peak. This martial gathering attracted many experts, and with Liu Yan and Bai Xiao with him, he couldn't let anything happen to them.
Back in his room, Li Mo sat cross-legged and vanished into the scarlet space.
The Spirit Qi was constantly being absorbed into his body. There was still a small amount of Spirit Qi that entered the bronze mirror in his bosom. The statues of the four sacred beasts seemed to have come to life. They actually moved a little, but they quickly returned to normal.
Li Mo was oblivious to the bronze mirror's transformation. Ever since he bought it, he didn't find anything special about it. Li Mo had no idea what it was, but the familiar feeling it gave him made him feel it wasn't ordinary, so he kept it with him.
After recovering his strength to its peak, Li Mo stopped cultivating. Although he didn't raise his strength to a satisfactory level, his body was full of inner qi. Even if he met a low level general, he would still be able to put up a fight. The scarlet sword would be his greatest trump card. Ever since he broke through to the middle martial master level, the Azure Dragon Sword Art's power had increased. His control over the scarlet sword could be said to be skillful and easy to wield.
Calming his mind, Li Mo left the room and went to the yard.
A white figure flashed and disappeared. Li Mo didn't chase this time. He knew Liu Yan didn't want to disturb his cultivation, so she sent Whitey to guard him in the yard.
How could Li Mo not understand a lover's heart?
At night, Li Mo told Bai Xiao's mother about this trip at the dinner table. Bai Xiao's mother readily agreed. She believed Bai Xiao's cultivation stagnated because of her. Now that he no longer had to run around for money, she naturally hoped her son could go out with Li Mo and see the world.
With everything settled, the next morning, Li Mo's group set off for Yiyang County's Heavenly Capital. They didn't ride horses this time because the journey was long and they had plenty of time. So Li Mo decided to take a carriage, so Liu Yan and Bai Xiao could rest in it.
Little White was left at home by Liu Yan, because it was not clear what Little White's identity was, but this thing was very spiritual, she was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble in Tiandu city, and Little White and Bai Xiao's mother got along very well, so she left it to accompany her, so that the old woman would not be lonely.
Seven or eight hundred li wasn't too far, but it wasn't too short either. The three rode the carriage leisurely, enjoying the scenery, laughing and chatting along the way.
One day, as the carriage neared Yiyang County, a dozen horses galloped past Li Mo's carriage. Their hooves kicked up a cloud of dust, choking Bai Xiao to the point he couldn't open his eyes.
"Who is it?
So unruly. "
Bai Xiao rubbed his eyes as he muttered. Although his voice was not loud, it was still heard by the people on the horses.
Neigh!
The group of people stopped their horses and looked at Bai Xiao, who was still a child in the carriage.
A man's arrogant voice came from a large cloak. Because the cloak's hood covered his face, it was impossible to see his face.
"Where did this bastard come from? He dares to talk to me about rules. I think your parents didn't teach you well. Do you want your big brother to teach you a lesson?"
The other riders around them were also tickled by these words, and they couldn't stop laughing.
Bai Xiao knew the riders were martial cultivators and didn't bother arguing with them. He didn't want to give Li Mo unnecessary trouble when he was out in the open. He was ready to leave.
"Yo!
Bastard, I'm talking to you. Why aren't you answering? "
At this moment, the group of riders had already blocked Bai Xiao's path.
"Please get out of the way. I am in a hurry!"
Bai Xiao was neither servile nor overbearing even when facing a martial cultivator far stronger than him.
The disheveled man jumped off his horse and walked straight towards the carriage. He came to Bai Xiao's side and took off the hat on his head. He looked at Bai Xiao with an evil smile.
"You want to leave?
Also, kneel down and apologize to me! "
"Why should I apologize? It's your fault. You should be the one apologizing."
"Bastard, you're quite stubborn. Do you know who I am?
I am the disciple of the Fourth Elder of Prince Gong Xian's residence. How dare you disrespect me? I think you must be tired of living! "
He raised the horsewhip in his hand and lashed it at Bai Xiao!
Crack!
The horsewhip didn't hit Bai Xiao, but was caught by a hand from inside the carriage.
"Yo!
I say, bastard, where did you get the guts to talk to me like that? So there's a helper here. Come out and let me see who's inside! "
"Ha-ha, Liu Ming, we two sure are fated to run into each other here!"
Li Mo's voice came from the carriage.
Li Mo recognized Liu Ming's voice the first time he insulted Bai Xiao. He didn't want to bicker with him for the sake of Second Elder, but he didn't expect Liu Ming to be so unbridled and insufferably arrogant.
He even wanted to beat Bai Xiao. How could he tolerate this?
"Li … Li Mo!"
Liu Ming also recognized the voice on the carriage. It was the culprit who had caused him to lose face and forced him to leave the Liu Family.
