As far as the Jiang Family were concerned, Lu Li was the son-in-law of the Jiang Family.
Besides the Lu family, the Jiang family was the most glorious family in the Divine Great Land.
Even though Jiang Qiling was only one of Lu Li's three wives, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang didn't have any backing. They had always regarded Jiang Qiling as Lu Li's wife and Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang as concubines.
What was more, Lu Li had been taking good care of the Jiang Family.
Jiang Tianshun didn't have much power at the Demon-slaying Hall. Now, his power was second only to Patriarch of Law Enforcement Lu Zhengyang. Jiang Family had gained many benefits at the Ocean Land of the East and the Feather Land of the West.
Recently, Lu Li had asked Jiang Tianshun to manage the Voodoo Land of the South, almost giving the entire land to the Jiang Family.
Over the years, the Jiang Family had been developing very fast. With a large amount of resources, it was easy for them to cultivate powerful warriors. At present, there were five Earth Immortals and more than a hundred Human Sovereigns. The status and strength of the Jiang Family had reached the peak in history!
Therefore …
Many in the Jiang Family misunderstood that Lu Li valued the Jiang Family.
Because of Jiang Qiling, the Jiang Family enjoyed a high status in Lu Li's heart. Otherwise, he would not have given the Voodoo Land of the South to the Jiang Family.
Over the years, the Jiang Family had been "spoiled" by Lu Li unconsciously. The disciples of the Jiang Family had a common understanding — they could mess with anyone except the Lu Family.
Even disciples of the Palace of Immortal's Inquiries, Red Lunar and Palace of Heaven's Roars would be beaten up.
As a matter of fact, over the years, Jiang Family did have conflicts with Palace of Heaven's Roars, Palace of Immortal's Inquiries and Red Lunar. Every time, the three forces suffered in silence. They were angry but did not dare to speak out, which made the Jiang Family even more domineering.
The Ye Family enjoyed a high status and was powerful. Ye Luo married Lu Hongyu and was Lu Li's brother.
That being said, the Jiang Family believed that the Ye Family and Lu Li were not close.
Lu Hongyu was Lu Li's cousin while Jiang Qiling was the Family Patriarch of the Jiang Family. Indirectly, Lu Li was the Family Patriarch of the Jiang Family.
When the two families were in conflict, Lu Li would help the Jiang Family no matter what.
They were wrong. The fact that Lu Li smashed away Jiang Qiling's uncle proved that they were wrong.
Lu Fengyun was the son of Great Grandfather Five, not to mention the Jiang Family.
Lu Li didn't care about many people in his life. He wouldn't show favoritism to those he didn't care about, even if they were his family, not to mention the Jiang Family that Jiang Qiling didn't care about.
"Lu Li …"
An elder of the Jiang Family moved his lips, trying to say something. Lu Li glared at him and shouted coldly, "Piss off!"
No one dared to say anything else. A patriarch of the Jiang Family flew over and picked up Jiang Wuwo. The group of people flew away like stray dogs.
Ye Luo forced a smile and shook his head. "Lu Li, I am sorry to have put you in a difficult position!"
"It doesn't exist!"
Lu Li patted Ye Luo's shoulder and said, "I think the Ye Family is going to suffer a bit this time. You can go back now. I will go to the Ye City to apologize in person."
"I beg for forgiveness!"
The patriarchs and powerful warriors of the Ye Family looked at each other in fear. How could they afford to have Lu Li come to beg for forgiveness?
"Alright, we'll head back first!"
Ye Luo knew Lu Li well. He nodded and flew away with the Ye Family warriors.
After Ye Luo and the others left, Lu Li turned to Zi Lian in the Valley of Cherry Blossoms.
From the beginning to the end, Zi Lian sat in the pavilion without moving. She didn't even look at Lu Li.
Ye Cha was asked to wait outside while Lu Li flew into the valley alone. He landed outside the pavilion. Two maids knelt down in fear. Lu Li waved them away.
After the maids left, Zi Lian finally turned around. She looked at Lu Li emotionlessly. Her pretty eyes were calm. Lu Li could not tell what was on her mind.
Lu Li looked at Zi Lian, at her thinner face. He pressed his lips and asked, "Why did you kill him?"
Zi Lian picked up the cup and stared at it. She didn't drink or say anything. After the time for more than a dozen breaths, she finally said, "He offended me. I was angry so I killed him."
"That is not your style!"
Lu Li shook his head. "The Zi Lian I know is a gentle girl who can distinguish between good and evil. She will not kill over such trifles."
"Ha, ha ~"
Zi Lian smiled faintly, but it did not feel like a smile. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said mockingly, "The Zi Lian you know is long dead. The Zi Lian now is just a lonely ghost without parents, no relatives, and no one to love. Don't be surprised no matter what she does."
"Just as I thought …"
Lu Li sighed to himself. It was true that Zi Lian's love had turned into hatred. The destruction of the Zi Family had turned her into a pervert.
Just like Jiang Qiling in the old days, she didn't care about anything. She wouldn't even care if she caused a disaster, let alone killing someone.
It was just death, wasn't it?
For her, death might be … a relief.
Lu Li felt guilty about the death of Zi Huanqiao and the destruction of the Zi Family. The Zi Family was destroyed because of him.
Therefore, Lu Li had asked Ming Yu to take good care of the surviving young masters and young ladies of the Zi Family. He gave them whatever they wanted and provided them with unlimited Mystical Materials.
Before Lu Li came, he was furious. He didn't know how to vent his anger after seeing Zi Lian like this.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"Lu Li!"
Zi Lian suddenly put on a mocking smile. She looked up at Lu Li and said, "I was the one who seduced Jiang Wuwo. I also learned a skill of seduction from the Hag Race.
Jiang Wuwo is infatuated with me. If you didn't come, I would have instigated Jiang Wuwo to go to war with the Ye Family. I would have turned the Ye City into a bloodbath. It would have been a spectacular scene. "
"…"
Lu Li was speechless. Crazy women really were unreasonable creatures.
His expressions grew colder but he didn't lose his temper. He sighed and said, "Why do you have to give up on yourself?
With your qualifications, what kind of young elites can't you find?
What is the point of you doing this? "
"It is pointless!"
Zi Lian shook her head with a smile and sighed, "When I kill people, I feel some pleasure. But now, I don't think it is meaningful.
Lu Li, do it. Kill me and I will give the Ye Family an explanation.
I am tired of living. There is nothing in this world that I miss. You don't want me anyway … "
Lu Li didn't know what to feel when he looked at Zi Lian's sorrowful expression.
He had always regarded Zi Lian as a friend. Zi Huanqiao's death meant that he was entrusted to him. Zi Lian had done something wrong, but how could he have the heart to kill her?
"Alas … I will take the blame for you this time!"
After a moment of silence, Lu Li turned around with his back to Zi Lian. He didn't want to comfort her. He just sighed and said, "Do what you can. Even if you don't think about yourself, you must think about your cousins.
What if you go too far and the Zi Family is wiped out because of you? How can you face your father in the afterlife? "
With that said, Lu Li flew up and flew toward the Ye City.
Zi Lian didn't stop Lu Li. She stared at Lu Li's back as he disappeared. Tears ran down from her pretty face.
After a while, her face was covered in tears. But her eyes were cold. She murmured, "Lu Li, I have given you a chance. But you are still so cruel. Then don't blame me … for being heartless."
