Chapter 40 The Li Family's Decision

When the second elder came out of the room, Li Yu and Gao Ruoxi, who were guarding the door, both took a step forward.Li Yu looked hesitant, hesitant to speak, while Gao Ruoxi was about to speak directly, but the words were interrupted by the second elder.

"Li Yu, secretly monitor the purple lai upstream of the water source and Song Bazhi, but don't startle the snake. Wait until the beginning of the month to capture the person behind the scenes. I want to see who is trying to shake me The foundation of the Li family in Tianji City! In addition, you are solely responsible for Li Jin's safety during his stay in the Dragoon Army barracks, and you must not let him escape the protection of the Dragoon Army."

After finishing speaking, the second elder strode away.

The speaker had no intention of listening, but the listener was interested. Li Yu was fine when he heard what the second elder said before, but the last sentence made him stand there in a daze.Hearing what Second Grandpa meant, he wanted to put Xiao Jin under house arrest?

"Yes, Second Grandpa." When Li Yu came to his senses and clasped his fists to promise, the Second Elder was already flying high.

At this time, Li Jin walked out of the room with a puzzled face.Seeing that he didn't look at the road, Gao Ruoxi almost fell to the ground by accident, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said anxiously, "What's wrong with you, brat? What happened to you, that stinky old man? Are you injured? Just wait, I will go and seek justice for you!" After finishing speaking, Gao Ruoxi was about to rush out.

"Sister Ruoxi, wait a moment!" Li Jin quickly called Gao Ruoxi to stop, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Second Grandpa didn't do anything to me, but I think it's too much effort to face these mature guys alone. At the end, Li Jin couldn't help sighing, recalling what happened in the room just now.

------

"The last time you disappeared in the hunting ground of the other courtyard, did you get the ancient inheritance of how to obtain soul orbs?" The second elder sat in a chair and stared at Li Jin, and said in a leisurely manner.

Hearing this, Li Jin's face remained unchanged, but his heart was like thunder.But when he saw the second elder's meaningful smile, his heart moved, this old guy is cheating on me!

Sure enough, the second elder shook his head and said with a smile: "Little brat, if you really want to keep your secret, it's not enough to just pretend to be deaf and dumb and expressionless. Look at your appearance, in fact, everything is written on your face." up."

Seeing Li Jin standing there dumbfounded, the Second Elder felt a little guilty.This kid's mind is already calm enough, and he doesn't know if he can get something out of him.He walked up to him, patted himself on the shoulder, and asked him to sit down, but he didn't speak anymore, just looking at Li Jin silently.

After a while, Li Jin stood up again, smiled noncommittally and said, "Thank you, Second Grandpa, for your teaching."

Only then did the second elder secretly heave a sigh of relief, and nodded with a smile: "In fact, a family like our Li family knows a little about the ancient inheritance of thousands of years ago, and it is very easy to speculate on some things. For example Say, you little box..." At this point, the Second Elder picked up a small wicker box at hand and looked at it carefully.

What's wrong with this box?Li Jin looked at the box he made by himself in doubt, but didn't speak.

"These boxes are quite beautiful, but you should have made them yourself, right? You have a pair of skillful hands." The second elder was still studying the little wicker box carefully, but said slowly.

Hearing this, Li Jin's pupils dilated immediately, and he finally understood something, then nodded with a wry smile: "I did it myself. It was indeed my negligence, thank you, Second Grandpa, for reminding me."

Yes, if these soul orbs were really obtained by him from the soul orb temple, then these soul orbs have also gone through the ages.No matter how stable the spiritual power in the soul beads is, if they are not placed in the jade box, ten thousand years of time is enough for most of the spiritual power contained in these soul beads to dissipate.In this case, I got the soul orb in the soul orb temple, but there is no jade box to hold the soul orb, is this possible?
But Li Jin didn't know that at this time the second elder was constantly slandering in his heart: "I don't know so much, if Wen Luo and Wen Yu hadn't reminded me, I would have thought it was nothing if you kept the soul orb in your crotch."

"Tell me, how much can you do with soul orbs?" the second elder said.

Li Jin hesitated for a while, and then said: "At present, I can refine some low-level soul orbs, but the number cannot be too many..."

"Refining?!" The second chief tiger's eyes lit up, "Soul orbs are indeed artificially refined."

Hearing the second elder's tone, Li Jin's heart moved.The second elder, or the Li family, actually only had some speculations about the soul orb.I have a certain degree of confidence in the decision to disclose a small part of the soul orb's information to the family.

Thinking of this, Li Jin pointed to the small willow box next to the second elder, and continued: "Perhaps apart from me, there will be no one on the mainland who can refine soul orbs. Unless, there are other people who can weave soul orbs within ten breaths. Get out of this little box."

Li Jin said this on purpose, first of all to test how much the Li family knew about soul orbs. Now it seems that the inheritance of soul orbs is still a mystery to the current Beast Soul Continent.That being the case, Li Jin will naturally start planning for himself.

"I believe."

The second elder took a deep look at Li Jin, nodded and said, "According to what you said, as your strength grows, you can refine more advanced soul orbs?"

"It's possible." Li Jin didn't finish his sentence.

"Then do you know what will happen to you if your inheritance is known to others?" The second elder continued to ask.

"I don't know." Li Jin shook his head, "But I think it won't be very wonderful."

The second elder was silent for a while, then suddenly looked straight at Li Jin: "Can the Li family trust you?"

Li Jin couldn't help but shudder when he heard the words, secretly thinking that a meat scene is coming.However, he thought about it for a while before solemnly answering: "My mother needs the care of the family. The Li family does not disappoint me, and I am not responsible for the Li family."

The second elder remained silent for a long time again, and then seemed to have finally made a decision. He looked at Li Jin and said, "The family will try their best to hide the truth for you. You can declare to the outside world that these soul orbs were given to you by the Li family. But it is Because of this, you must not take out so many soul orbs in one breath again. Besides, if some people in the family think that you have received too many benefits from the family, it will always waste some words."

"What do I need to do?" Li Jin asked calmly.There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, Li Jin still understands this truth.

"The family won't ask you to do anything." The second elder gave Li Jin a complicated look, "I only hope that if one day you can save the Li family from danger, please remember today's love and don't stand on the sidelines."

So simple?Li Jin was surprised.

"Don't be surprised, this request is not simple."

The Second Elder naturally saw what Li Jin was thinking, and said with a sneer, "The Li family has a big business, and there are always some desperate covetous people. Take this matter of Tianlongma as an example, someone actually started the secret arrangement five years ago, It’s really a big deal. Maybe one day, the Li family’s carelessness will lead to a crisis that will lead to its overthrow? So I want you to make a promise now, how about it?”

Li Jin didn't understand.Listening to what the second elder said, do you already know that one day in the future, there will be a crisis of extermination in the Li family?But now that the Li family is so powerful, even the Xu family of the royal family may not dare to stroke the Li family's beard. Why, as the second in command of the entire Li family, would there be such an argument?

Li Jin changed his mind and thought that the condition proposed by the Second Elder Council should have something to do with his being a soul jewel master.Since I am not at a disadvantage, I don't hesitate at the moment: "If there is such a day, I will try my best."

The second elder didn't speak any more, and directly threw a jade object towards Li Jin.Li Jin quickly caught it subconsciously, but when he looked closely, it turned out to be a token. On the front was engraved the word "Li" in a common font in mainland China, and on the back was the logo of the Li family, Tianlongma.I only heard the second elder say: "This is the core child order of the family, and only the core children cultivated by the family can have it. With it, you can choose the resources you want in the family warehouse at the lowest price, and you can use my Li family's The intelligence network can even temporarily dispatch a squad of [-] dragoons under your control. Now you inject a little of your own spiritual power into it to activate it, and if you die outside, the family will know immediately."

This time, Li Jin couldn't figure it out. The Li family is so easy to talk to?It's fine if you don't forcefully ask for the inheritance of the soul orb, and you don't imprison him, but give him back the benefits?

Li Jin quickly called to stop the second elder who had already started to walk out of the room: "Is the family really not thinking about seeking my inheritance?"

Why haven't you moved?The second elder turned his back to Li Jin, with a strange expression on his face, and couldn't help cursing.Not to mention firmly controlling you, even the suggestion of threatening your mother's life and asking you to hand over the secret of the soul orb, I have mentioned it to the family, but the elder brother sternly rejected it.

Of course the Second Elder would not tell Li Jin this, he turned his head and took a deep look at Li Jin: "I tell you on behalf of the family, since your surname is Li, and the blood of the Li family is flowing in your body, unless you betray the family, Otherwise, we don't want to go to that step." After finishing speaking, he strode away.

At this time, in the Li Mansion of Tianji City, the elder of the Li family and Li Wenluo were sitting in the small pavilion drinking tea.

"What?!" Li Wenluo was stunned for a moment after hearing what his father said, "Second Uncle went to find that kid Li Jin? He doesn't want to control Li Jin first, does he?"

"I specially asked him to go." The Great Elder said calmly, "The second child is just doing things in a hurry, and it's not that he has no brains. Otherwise, he will come up with such a bad move this time? I think it's up to him to deal with this child." It might be better to form a good relationship.”

Li Wenluo heard the words, thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Father is more thoughtful. But, is this really better than asking Li Jin to confess the secret directly?"

"Opportunities cannot be forcibly seized. You can only follow the trend. This is the way of heaven and cannot be rebelled." The reason why the Li family is still standing today is because the ancestors of the Li family of all dynasties understood this truth. According to the ancient prophecy, the person related to the secret of the soul orb is actually a member of my Li family. chance."

Li Wenluo heard this, thought for a while, and nodded fiercely.
