Li Ba sighed, "I see, I originally thought my body refinement talent wasnât enough, now I understand, itâs because I didnât push myself hard enough. Knowing this reason, I can finally cultivate with peace of mind!"
Ye Luo was taken aback, "Are you going to give up body refinement?"
Li Ba nodded with a smile, "Thatâs right, body refinement was just a thought from the past, it had become an obsession. Now, thanks to your insights, Iâve realized itâs not because of me, so I donât need to prove anything anymore!"
Ye Luo suddenly realized, he was actually ready to give up this body refinement technique long ago, he just wanted to understand whether his lack of progress was due to no talent or incorrect methods!
Thus, all these years, he just wanted to clarify this matter!
In otherâs eyes, this might seem like an incredibly foolish act, perhaps even abnormal!
Ye Luo knew it wasnât normal, but if he didnât figure it out, it would become his psychological barrier. Whatâs mundane for others, was monumental for him!
Another point, Ye Luo was genuinely surprised that he hadnât even been asked about his own situation!
For instance, how he achieved this level in body refinement in such a short time!
Or how his personality had changed so dramatically, whereas the previous Liu Qing was like another person entirely!
"Alright, Iâve finished asking my questions. Do you want me to clear a place for you?" Li Ba said with a smile.
His graceful demeanor resembled that of a scholar.
Ye Luo had a serious expression, "Donât you have any questions for me?"
Li Ba shook his head with a smile, "I have nothing to ask, whether youâre Liu Qing or someone else, I trust in you as a person!"
Ye Luoâs eyebrows finally relaxed. He knew that in this Kunwu Sect, aside from Liu Mei, there was another person he could trust.
In the morning, Ye Luo abruptly opened his eyes because a servant was already waiting outside.
Judging by the attire, it should be someone from the Li Family!
"Come in!" Li Ba said casually.
The door opened, and the servant from the Li Family walked in.
"Master, the Family Head has sent me to invite you!" He said respectfully.
However, as soon as he said this, not only Li Ba, but even Ye Luo frowned.
Logically speaking, Li Baâs status should be high enough, right? Heâs a sect genius and a candidate for Sect Master!
Someone from the Li Family came, naturally inviting Li Ba to stay with the clan for a period, as is customary!
Yet, only such a young servant came, clearly of low status, which was peculiar!
Could it be the Li Family doesnât want Li Ba to return? Or perhaps, they intentionally want to make Li Ba lose face?
No matter what, Li Ba is a member of the Li Family, becoming a candidate also brings glory to the Li Family. But whatâs the purpose behind this action? Subsequently, Ye Luo turned his gaze to Li Ba.
His expression remained natural, with no joy or sadness, as if this was completely normal!
"Really? But I have no intention of returning to the Li Family!"
The servant wasnât panicked, as if the Li Family had already anticipated Li Baâs response.
"The Family Head said, Master would return! Oh, before coming, the Family Head also instructed me to say, heâs recently been interested in raising silkworms!"
"Rubbish!" Upon hearing this, Li Ba abruptly jumped off the mat, gripping the servantâs neck and lifting him up.
"Repeat what you said earlier!" He asked angrily.
"Master... please calm down, itâs all the Family Head... asked me to say. Indeed... heâs been dealing with silkworms every day lately!" The servant struggled to reply.
Only then did Li Ba toss him aside, "Fine, Iâll go back with you, now leave!"
The servant hastily ran out, yet Li Baâs mood still hadnât settled.
"Li Ba, donât act impulsively!" Ye Luo said from the side.
"Damn it, theyâre actually after the Ice Silkworm, I must go to the Li Family without delay!" Li Ba said, clenching his fist tightly.
Ye Luo knew his relationship with the Li Family was definitely more complicated than it appeared.
"Do you need help?"
Li Ba slowly shook his head, "No need, when I do, Iâll naturally inform you!"
Ye Luo sighed; he knew meddling in this kind of affair wouldnât do any good, and currently, his strength indeed couldnât help much.
Additionally, when Ye Luo returned to the Liu Family, the situation was still unclear.
Even after Liu Ba returned to the Li Family, he hesitated whether to go back!
"Qingâer, the familyâs people are probably already waiting in the courtyard, letâs head back!" Liu Mei gently said, "No matter what happens, Iâll face it with you!"
Ye Luo gave her a deep look; evidently, Liu Mei also noticed his peculiarity!
Perhaps she knew his secret, and her words were a statement that irrespective of if he was Liu Qing or someone else, sheâd stand by Ye Luo!
Ye Luo nodded slightly and returned to the familyâs previous lodging in the courtyard with Liu Mei.
Sure enough, the Family Head was actually waiting in the courtyard, and behind him were dozens from the Liu Family.
Upon seeing Ye Luo, the Family Head came over personally.
"Qingâer, youâre finally back, although itâs early morning, itâs best to return to the family early!" The Family Head said kindly.
Ye Luo understood, the Family Head was showing goodwill towards him! As for it being early, it was merely morning!
Nonetheless, this saved Ye Luo quite a bit of trouble.
"Sorry to keep the Family Head waiting, I was supposed to return to the Liu Family yesterday, but delayed at Li Baâs quarters!" Ye Luo responded with a smile.
Falling out with the Liu Family wouldnât benefit him.
The Family Head laughed heartily after hearing this, "No matter, I also have matters to deal with in the Sect, interacting more with Li Ba would be very beneficial for you!"
After some friendly exchanges, they proceeded to return to the Li Family with the crowd from the Liu Family.
From the distant tall building, a pair of eyes were watching the crowd from the Liu Family.
"Master, should I lead people to intercept them?"
A young man next to Wan Hou asked gloomily.
Wan Hou laughed and shook his head, "The Liu Family is still a part of this Sect, this time the Liu Family got lucky with Liu Qing, but just a delay in demise. If Liu Qing were to fall, the Liu Family would also perish!"
"Master, then shouldnât we be more proactive, take care of him quickly to end the problem?" The young man asked, confused.
Wan Hou laughed even more joyfully, "You havenât grasped my point, I donât care about the Liu Family, and Liu Qing is even less worth considering. So, when I deal with him, it will be openly and boldly!"
As he spoke, a cold gleam appeared in his eyes.
