My Endless Life.

Chapter 226 Inquiry
"…Are all the six major sects here, except for Tianyi Valley?"

After hearing what happened in his childhood, Li Qi looked up and asked.

Li Wenxin sat back in his chair, kneading his temple with one hand, and whispered:
"The Grand Elder Zhong Yunxin of the Snow Cloud Sword Sect, the Four Dragon Spears of the Dragon Martial Pavilion, the Flower and Bird Twins of the Flower Palace, the Contemporary World Walker of the Shushan Dao, and Master Liao Ming of the Thousand Buddha Temple..."

Li Wenxin listed the names or titles of these people like the back of his hand.

The people he mentioned are either masters who became famous in the past or outstanding young people of today.

None of them is easy to get along with, and each of them can represent the opinions of their own faction outside.

There is no need to say much about Zhong Yunxin of the Xueyun Sword Sect. As a third-grade Grandmaster, the value of the Grand Elder is self-evident.

Among the four dragon-roaring spears of Longwu Pavilion, except for Meng Xingqian who possesses the 'Thunder Dragon Spear', only one of the remaining three is of the fifth rank, and the remaining two are both of the fourth rank innate, and are both well-known on the Earth Ranking.

The Flower and Bird Beauties of Xihua Palace also have fourth-grade innate cultivation. Together with the other two 'Fengyue Sisters' of Xihua Palace, they form 'Flowers, Birds, Fengyue'. They are also among the top beauties on the Jianghu Beauties List.

Shushan Dao, the Taoist sect among the six major sects, mainly practices swordsmanship, but it is also a member of Taoism.

Normally he seldom gets involved in martial arts events, and mostly practices in seclusion in the mountains. Only when each generation of the World Travels will he travel in the martial arts world, and after traveling he will return to the mountains to become the next head of the Shushan Dao.

The one who walks the world this generation is called Jiang Anyan, and he is the strongest man ranked first on the Earth List. It is even said that he has a record of fighting against masters and remaining undefeated.

Finally, Master Liao Ming of the Thousand Buddha Temple, like Zhong Yunxin of the Xueyun Sword Sect, is a third-rank official and is responsible for handling the external affairs of the Thousand Buddha Temple.

Simply put, he is the diplomat of Thousand Buddha Temple.

So many powerful people, so many celebrities, gathered at the foot of Qiqiao Villa in less than a month.

It's impossible that they really came to send their blessings to Li Qi on his wedding.

Li Qi doesn't have that much face.

So... the only reliable word is "treasure".

They gathered here because they were sure that there were indeed treasures inside Qiqiao Villa.

Hearing that so many people had come, even Li Qi felt a little headache.

Those in the Innate Realm are easy to deal with, but how should we deal with the two in the Grandmaster Realm?

In the entire Qiqiao Villa, there is only Li Qi's father, Li Wenxin, who is at the third rank, and he is at the very bottom of the Heavenly Ranking.

But the two people who came were both in the top 20 of the Heavenly Ranking. If a conflict really broke out, even Li Wenxin would not be able to control the situation.

No... maybe it's still possible.

Li Qi raised his eyes to look at Li Wenxin, and thought of the romantic past between his cheap father and Zhong Yunxin in this life, and felt that he didn't need to worry about Zhong Yunxin's problem.

If a dispute really arises, Zhong Yunxin might stand on the side of Qiqiao Villa.

I have to say that my father is sometimes quite useful.

"...Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Qi's eyes made Li Wenxin feel a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but ask.

Li Qi looked away and did not answer Li Wenxin's question. He got straight to business:

"If you want to know their purpose, can't you just ask Senior Zhong?"

Let’s not talk about the other four sects for now. Since Zhong Yunxin is already in the villa and is very likely to be a helper for Qiqiao Villa, why not just ask him directly about his purpose of coming here?
If Zhong Yunxin still likes Li Wenxin, Li Wenxin should be able to get a lot of information if he asks her personally.

That’s what Li Qi originally thought.

Then he saw Li Wenxin's face covered in cold sweat, his mouth twitching as he asked Li Qi:

"Qier, even if you want to inherit the villa, you don't have to use this method, right?"

"what?"

"…Do you think that I should approach Elder Zhong…or meet with him alone…If your mother knew about this, how many days would I still be able to live?"

"..."

Hearing this, Li Qi looked at Li Wenxin with a strange look.

He had forgotten that his father in this life seemed to be a henpecked husband...

Although Li Qi didn't think Zheng Qiuqing would be so jealous that she would stab Li Wenxin, since Li Wenxin was so scared, there was nothing he could do.

"Then I'll go ask."

Finally, Li Qi got up helplessly and decided to go and ask in person.

Li Wenxin asked doubtfully, "You went? You don't seem to have met Yun Xin... Elder Zhong."

"I've seen it, although only once, but... it should be fine."

Thinking about the accidental eye contact with Zhong Yunxin when he came back, Li Qi touched his chin and said.

Judging from Zhong Yunxin's eyes, she did not have much hostility towards Li Qi, and there was even some indescribable emotion in her eyes.

If Li Qi went to ask in person, maybe he could really find out something.

……

The tea in the cup had cooled down. Zhong Yunxin shook it and put the cup down again.

The dinner at Qiqiao Villa has ended. The Li family also invited Zhong Yunxin to attend the dinner, but Zhong Yunxin refused.

She didn't want to see the Li family having fun while she, an outsider, was alone.

"What's the point of thinking about these things now..."

Recalling the loving relationship between Li Wenxin and Zheng Qiuqing, Zhong Yunxin said to herself, "I was the one who hesitated and refused to act decisively at the beginning, so it seems useless to regret it now."

Instead of thinking about the past and feeling sad, she should think about how to complete the tasks assigned to her by the sect.

It is said that there may be rare treasures in Qiqiao Villa, but Zhong Yunxin has stayed in the villa for so many days but could not sense any trace of rare treasures.

So if it’s not a rare treasure, then it must be Li Qi and Li Qiao?
Zhong Yunxin was thinking secretly, when suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

dong dong dong-

In the darkness of the night, the candlelight in the room flickered, and among the dim shadows, Zhong Yunxin could only barely see the outline of the person outside.

However, judging from his aura and voice, the person outside the door should be young.

Are they the Li twins?

Zhong Yun thought about it and asked directly to the outside:

"who is it?"

"Senior Zhong, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Li Qi, the son of Li Wenxin and Zheng Qiuqing. I came back today and learned that you were visiting me. I was a little curious, so I came to bother you..."

"Oh, you're curious? I'm afraid that useless Li Wenxin didn't dare to come to me, so I sent you to get information."

Zhong Yunxin snorted coldly, and there seemed to be a hint of resentment in his words.

Li Qi, whose thoughts were exposed outside the door, was not angry. He smiled and said:

"After all, my father has some... grudges with you. To avoid suspicion, he doesn't dare to come to you."

"Coward!" Zhong Yunxin slammed the table with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Then, he seemed to realize that it was not good for him to put on such an attitude in front of the younger generation, so he coughed again and restrained himself a little:
"Well, if that's the case, then come in. This elder is bored, and it would be great to have someone to chat with me and relieve my boredom."

As Zhong Yunxin spoke, he waved his right hand and the door opened, revealing Li Qi standing outside.

When he saw the young man outside the door, Zhong Yunxin's expression became a little dazed again.

Although she knew that the boy in front of her looked more like Zheng Qiuqing than Li Wenxin, when she saw the boy, she couldn't help but associate the young Li Wenxin with Li Qi.

At that moment, her expression softened and she pointed to the seat next to her and said:
"Please sit down. This elder is in a good mood now. Ask whatever you want to ask."

"The senior is quite quick-witted and speaks quickly, which makes the junior admire him."

Li Qi bowed respectfully to Zhong Yunxin and said.

Zhong Yunxin looked at him expressionlessly, playing with the cup of herbal tea in his hand, and said:

"Don't beat around the bush. It's annoying. Just ask whatever you want to ask. This elder will answer you for your father's sake."

Zhong Yunxin said this, waving his long sleeves and closing the door tightly again.

In fact, if the person who came to ask questions this time was not Li Qi, but Li Wenxin, or even Zheng Qiuqing, Zhong Yunxin would also answer their questions.

After all, she lived here just to reveal some information to them.

Otherwise, she would have moved down the mountain long ago to avoid seeing the couple showing off their affection every day.

But who could have imagined that Li Wenxin didn't dare to come for fear of Zheng Qiuqing's misunderstanding, while Zheng Qiuqing didn't want to come because of his identity as a love rival.

The result was that Zhong Yunxin stayed here for so long, but neither of the couple came over to ask questions.

Of course, Zhong Yunxin would not take the initiative to tell them the purpose of her visit.

As long as they don’t ask, Zhong Yunxin won’t say anything. This is her last bit of stubbornness.

Zhong Yunxin certainly knew that it was because of her awkward personality that she lost to Zheng Qiuqing.

But that was her character, and she couldn't change it no matter what. Especially after becoming a Grandmaster, if she wanted to be promoted, it would be more in line with her own state of mind.

That's why Zhong Yunxin had delayed until now, until Li Qi came.

Looking at Zhong Yunxin's arrogant expression of "I don't want to tell you, I only told you because you asked", Li Qi understood why Zhong Yunxin lost.

I'm so proud of the version I've retired, senior...

What's more, you are a proud young girl...

Why don't you try dyeing your hair blonde someday?
Li Qi was thinking about some very rude things in his mind, but on the surface he remained polite and did not show the slightest bit of rudeness.

He smiled and said:
"In that case, I would like to ask you... Senior Zhong, what exactly is the purpose of your visit to Qiqiao Villa this time?"

"Attend your boy's wedding."

Zhong Yunxin said without thinking at first, but then she smiled gently at Li Qi and said:

"But I guess you don't believe this reason."

"Senior, please stop joking. I don't have the face to ask all the masters of the six major sects, including you, to come and give me gifts."

Li Qi said helplessly.

Zhong Yunxin's smile faded a little after hearing this. She frowned and asked:

"...Wait, you said the six major sects? Besides me, are there other people from the six major sects here?"

"Senior, don't you know? Recently, apart from Tianyi Valley, no one has come here. The masters from the other sects have settled in the town below the villa.

"Even more than one Grand Master came."

Li Qi said slowly, his tone serious.
