In the villa where Li Xiaotian resided in the capital, Long Yi departed with Li Xiaotian's orders. Before leaving, his aura was filled with murderous intent. Ever since the Dragon King's Hall unified the war zones, such a tragic incident had never occurred.
One hundred brothers had vanished without a trace, leaving the second-in-command of the Dragon King's Hall, Long Yi, in a state of extreme fury. If he hadn't been concerned about Li Xiaotian being alone in the capital, he would have flown to the war zones immediately to avenge their fallen comrades. Da Feng Novel Network.
After Li Xiaotian returned to his room, although he tried his best to conceal his emotions, everyone could sense that he was in a somber mood.
Tiantian obediently came to Li Xiaotian's side, hugged his arm with unusual docility, and remained silent, simply accompanying him.
Li Xiaotian smiled, patted his daughter's head, and looked at the tense faces of everyone in the room. He spoke.
"It's nothing, just some matters in the war zone. I've already sent people to handle it."
"Why don't you go back and take a look? I can take good care of everyone here," Ye Qingmei said with concern. She knew Li Xiaotian was deeply emotional. If something happened in the war zone, he would have gone back immediately in the past. But now, with this family, he hadn't left.
"Yes, Xiaotian, your aunt and I are both well. We don't have to go out selling goods anymore, and life is much better than before. If you have something to attend to, just go. We'll be here to manage the home," Tian Fu also advised.
A flicker of emotion crossed Li Xiaotian's heart, but he shook his head. He had already dispatched people to handle the situation, so it didn't matter whether he returned or not.
"It's fine. If they can't handle it, it won't be too late for me to go to the war zone then."
Seeing Li Xiaotian's firm resolve, the others didn't press further.
At that moment, a warrior from the Dragon King's Hall suddenly appeared outside the villa and reported loudly.
Li Xiaotian quickly beckoned him in, thinking that news from the war zone had arrived.
"My King, our subordinates monitoring Dongshan discovered a little girl on the mountaintop today, crying profusely before a tombstone. Our men suspect she might be a remnant of the Li family and wish to ask if you want us to...?" the man said rapidly, his tone becoming hesitant towards the end, clearly mindful of Ye Qingmei and the others present in the room.
Li Xiaotian frowned. A little girl? From the Li family? He searched his memory. There were no young girls in the Li family.
"Xiaotian, the Li family is already destroyed. Forget about the girl," Ye Qingmei said from beside him, a hint of compassion flashing across her face. Tian Fu also opened his mouth, clearly intending to say the same thing as Ye Qingmei.
Li Xiaotian smiled upon seeing this, knowing that Ye Qingmei and the others had misunderstood. He then said, "You're overthinking it. Since the Dragon King's Hall was established, all the children of our enemies have been sent away and found good homes."
Hearing Li Xiaotian's words, Ye Qingmei and the others breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of apology appearing on their faces.
Li Xiaotian shook his head and then instructed the messenger.
"Find out her identity. If she truly is from the Li family, just send her away. On second thought, I'll go take a look. I can also visit my parents and Tian Meng then."
Li Xiaotian had initially intended to order the messenger to handle it according to the usual procedures. However, realizing that he hadn't visited his parents since eradicating the Li family, he changed his mind and decided to personally go to Dongshan to see for himself.
With his decision made, Li Xiaotian, accompanied by Ye Qingmei, Tian Fu, and others, set off for Dongshan to visit their relatives. Dongshan had already been transformed into a mausoleum, and Dragon King's Hall warriors patrolled the foot of the mountain frequently.
As Li Xiaotian and his entourage ascended the summit, they spotted a little girl in yellow clothing, appearing to be about seven or eight years old, from a distance.
