Chapter 263 Greetings, Young General! (1)
“There’s something else?”
“What treasure is it? An ancient spirit weapon?” “Tss! How come I’ve never heard of such a secret?”

!!
In the secret chamber, the crowd was in an uproar.
As the upper echelons of Li Family and the various decision makers, they actually never knew that the Li Family really had a treasure that martial artists in the top ranks would covet!
“There’s no need for you all to know what it is.”
The white-haired old man’s indifferent voice sounded. The upper echelons of the Li Family who were in an uproar immediately shut up and returned to silence. Among this group of people, some were indignant, some stunned, and some furious, but no one dared to question him.
Not only was the Li Family’s First Elder the oldest and most experienced, he was also the most powerful.
Although he had never been the patriarch, the previous patriarch had to consult him about major matters involving the Li Family before making the final decision. The First Elder was the true soul of the Li Family. He knew all the secrets of the family.
If the patriarch had pa.s.sed on, a new one could take over.
But if the First Elder were to suddenly die or disappear, the Li Family would definitely fall into turmoil.
Now, the white-haired old man definitely had his reasons for not telling them what the treasure was.
Li Mingfang had to obey as well. “I’ve noted Si Wujiu’s motive. Ignore him.” The white-haired old man’s voice sounded again. “As long as I’m not dead, he won’t do anything to you. This invasion is just a probe.”
“Yes, First Elder.” Li Mingfang nodded.
The image on the screen quickly turned black.
A hush fell over the chamber.
After a while, Li Lichuan exhaled and said, “Alright, since big brother said it’s nothing, let’s disperse.” “Um, why do I feel like First Elder seems to know Si Wujiu?” A voice suddenly sounded.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The others immediately turned to look at him.
“Don’t… don’t look at me like that. Don’t you guys think so?”
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a beard. He shrank his neck and cheered himself on. “I didn’t think so before, but now that I think about it carefully, Si Wujiu led people to attack us. Putting aside the fact that the strongest Si Wujiu didn’t personally take part in the battle, even those fourth and fifth-grade martial artists were more inclined to severely injure us than to kill us!”
Silence.
Everyone fell silent again, including Li Mingfang That’s right. Now that they had calmed down, they thought back carefully.
There were indeed many suspicious points. One of them was the surprise attack at night. It was not intense, and there were few casualties. If Si Wujiu was really determined to destroy the Li Family, why would he hold back?
The First Elder’s reaction was also very strange.
It seemed like he had long expected Si Wujiu to come up with such a show?
“Enough.”
In the silence, Li Mingfang broke the silence and said, “Regardless of whether the First Elder and Si Wujiu are acquainted or not, this matter ends here. Of course, the necessary precautions must also be taken. Pa.s.s down the order, before Si Wujiu leaves Qinghe City, no one is allowed to leave the manor!” “Yes!”
On the surface.
Su Jingxing controlled his Essence Soul to hide in a corner. He was deep in thought.
The Li Family’s First Elder was a very mysterious figure.
If not for the fact that the Essence Soul had come to listen in on the situation tonight out of curiosity, Su Jingxing wouldn’t have known that the Li Family had such a First Elder.
In seclusion for 10 years?
In these 10 years, he had never appeared before anyone?
But his tone sounded strange.
The upper echelons of the Li Family suspected that he and Si Wujiu knew each other. It was guess, instead, it was highly likely.
“Interesting.” As he pondered, Su Jingxing couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.
Si Wujiu had brought a group of people to put on an act, and the Li Family’s First Elder was also being mysterious. These two people might not only be acquainted, they might even be allies.
Li Mingfang and the others suspected that Si Wujiu’s motive was the Li Family’s treasure.
The mysterious item that Emperor Yu had bestowed to Li Nongtang.
But Su Jingxing’s intuition told him that it wasn’t that simple.
Perhaps Si Wujiu was doing this for the treasure, or perhaps he was putting on a show for certain people!
And the Li Family’s First Elder was only one of these people.
Alright, the more I think about this, the more complicated it’s becoming.
Su Jingxing shook his head and controlled the Essence Soul to leave.
No matter what Si Wujiu’s motive was, as long as it didn’t cause panic or implicate the common people, it had nothing to do with Su Jingxing
With this in mind, the Essence Soul left the Li Family estate and returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Speaking of which,
Si Wujiu led his men to attack the Li Family. The timing was really tight.
It had only been a short after Su Jingxing solved the self-combustion issue, and he had already launched a scheme against the Li Family.
This fellow had clearly planned everything before the self-combustion cases surfaced.
The self-combustion issue had only delayed him for a few days.
“Tianlong Chamber of Commerce… Si Wujiu…”
After muttering for a while, Su Jingxing stopped focusing on it.
The next day, he went to work as usual and patrolled the crematorium.
Other places could close for a few days.
Not at the crematorium.
Once the chaos was under control, it immediately resumed operating.
Su Jingxing had an easy job. He patrolled a few times before returning to his office.
The cards were extracted automatically. When he was free, he took them out and read them one by one.
Essence Energy Card, Internal Force Card, Skill Card, Strength Enhancement Card…
Most of the cards were common Function Cards.
Su Jingxing didn’t hold much hope. When he extracted special cards, he collected what he needed.
He continued to consume Strength Pills to strengthen his transcendent body.
The day quickly ended.
At night, Su Jingxing controlled his Martial Art True Intent to manifest and attempt all sorts of usage according to the Martial Sage’s Ma.n.u.script.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly sensed a spying gaze coming from afar!
Swish!
The Essence Soul directly manifested and grabbed this invisible spying will.
