Although he knew that junior sister Yu Qingyao would be taken away by the Chu family, Li Huaide had a strange intuition that junior sister would definitely come to Qi. He will see her soon.
It's just that he wasn't sure where An Ruolan was sent from, so he was perfunctory with her for the time being.
Everything can only be settled after he meets the person behind the scenes.
"Brother Huai, did your mission go well this time? Nothing unexpected happened, right?" An Ruolan asked cautiously.
Li Huaide smiled and said: "It's not going well. When I encountered a sneak attack from the enemy, I only had time to avoid it and failed to complete the task."
"Ah? Those people are really hateful! Brother Huai, we must not let them go lightly."
"I see, they haven't bullied you recently, have they?"
"I'm fine. In the monastery, they don't dare to mess around. I've been retreating these days, and they can't even trouble me if they want to."
"Well, you practice hard and strive to enter the inner courtyard as soon as possible."
"I will, Brother Huai, once I enter the inner courtyard, I will have a way to help you."
"Okay! I'm waiting!"
Then, An Ruolan volunteered to help Li Huaide clean the house.
Li Huaide looked at her coldly and saw that she was not very good at doing housework. The places around him rubbed and rubbed, and some places, like the window sills in the corners, she completely ignored.
How does this look like doing housework? Only Huai Mengde would be moved by this.
Li Huaide couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a smirk: "There is nothing to clean this broken house. Ruolan, don't bother, go back and practice hard!"
An Ruolan smiled and said, "No, I want Brother Huai to live comfortably. I don't have any skills right now, I can only do this little thing, Brother Huai, just let me do it!"
Li Huaide sighed and had to let her finish.
Coaxing An Ruolan away, Li Huaide stayed behind closed doors. He wanted to become familiar with Wymond's spells and skills as soon as possible.
On the seventh day, Guo Xuan sent a message.
See you in Du Garden tomorrow evening.
Li Huaide appeared in front of Du Yuan's gate on time, and a servant appeared silently, leading him to the study behind.
Li Huaide entered the study and saw a gray-robed Taoist.
The gray-robed Taoist turned around slowly when he heard the voice, his face was covered with a black veil.
Li Huaide couldn't help complaining, what the hell is this father and son recognize each other? I have never seen a father and son meet, and the father would have a cloth on his face.
After complaining, he deduced that this guy still didn't want to recognize himself, let alone know his true identity, for fear that if he spread it out, it would damage his reputation.
The gray-robed Taoist stared at Huai Mengde, and saw that the arrogance and hostility on his face were gone, and he was as gentle as jade and as peaceful as water.
He secretly wondered. From the information reported by his subordinates, he knew that the illegitimate son had already guessed some inside information.
Guo Xuan said that Huai Mengde and the former were different, they were very witty, and said that he had something important to discuss with him.
In order to stop Huai Mengde's mouth and prevent him from talking nonsense, the gray-robed Taoist had no choice but to come forward to appease him.
Li Huaide found a chair, sat down, and said lightly: "It's good that you don't want to recognize me, and I happen to not want to recognize you either."
The gray-robed Taoist was amazed, he laughed and said, "Then why do you have to see me?"
Li Huaide has gone through many lives and does not want to have another father. He really didn't like this kind of father.
Li Huaide said calmly: "I want to see you, and I want to have an in-depth talk with you."
The gray-robed Taoist sat down opposite with great interest, and said with a smile, "Oh? What are you talking about?"
The son said that he didn't want to recognize his father, which made the Taoist in gray a lot easier, and also aroused his curiosity. Because, judging from the reports of his subordinates, this illegitimate son already clearly knows that he is powerful and powerful in the Pingtian Temple, and holds a high position.
"First of all, let your son stop plotting against me. Brothers fighting each other, is it fun for you to watch?" Li Huaide said calmly.
The gray-robed Taoist was speechless, of course he didn't want to see this. It's just that the other son has a lot of power in his hands, and since he found out that he has an older brother, he has been doing tricks in private, and he can't do anything about it.
He could only arrange for some people to protect him as much as possible, and he was afraid that his wife would make trouble if she found out, so he didn't dare to send too many people, and he didn't dare to make it too obvious.
But recently that son discovered this, and started to toss more and more, which made him also have a headache.
"Let me tell you a story. There was a child who beat his own dog every day for ten years. Tell me, what would others think of this child if they knew about it?" Li Huaide asked flatly.
The gray-robed Taoist blurted out, "I'm afraid it will be said that this child is cruel by nature."
Li Huaide nodded and asked, "If you replace the dog with his brother, what will others think?"
The gray-robed Taoist recalled it, and couldn't help feeling overwhelmed. There is no need to ask, anyone will say that the child is evil, vicious and inhuman.
He knew that Huai Mengde was using this story to persuade him that he must stop his son-in-law from continuing to do evil.
Li Huaide said lightly: "You are stupid!"
The gray-robed man jumped up and shouted angrily: "Bold, how dare you scold me?"
Li Huaide asked coldly: "Let me ask you, what is your ideal son like?"
The gray-robed Taoist didn't answer.
Li Huaide said slowly: "Everyone in the world hopes that their son will become a dragon, and hope that his son will have a bright future. You should have deeper and better hopes. I hope that he will have profound cultivation and outstanding spells, and that he will be appreciated and loved by his teachers and friends, and that he can honor his elders and love his teachers Brother, get the loyalty of your subordinates. He should be a hero in the future, or a Taoist expert. Am I right?"
The gray-robed Taoist chuckled and said, "That's right!"
Li Huaide said: "You think well, but what you do is completely wrong."
The gray-robed Taoist said in dissatisfaction: "Where am I wrong, do you blame me for not protecting you? Is it unfair to you?"
Li Huaide said coldly: "When brothers kill each other, you should either teach him a lesson immediately so that he doesn't dare to do it again. Or make a quick decision and kill me. However, you didn't do that."
The gray-robed Taoist laughed and said, "Are you blaming me for not being able to kill you ten years ago?"
Li Huaide nodded and said, "That's right, it's been ten years, and that guy has been thinking of ways to kill me every day. These ten years are a critical moment for him to grow up. You think a child has been thinking about killing his brother all the time for ten years. Finally, can his heart be bright? Can his character be good? To put it bluntly, his heart is like a monster that eats people, and his sea of consciousness is like a haunted world full of evil spirits. He has become like this People, don’t blame you, who do you blame? Are you proud of raising such a monster-like son?”
The gray-robed Taoist was stunned. He really wanted to refute, but he knew in his heart that what Huai Mengde said was right.
Li Huaide sneered and said: "There are some taboos in a person's life that cannot be violated. When he started to kill his relatives, you failed to satisfy him, and failed to stop him. You are not stupid to sit and watch his heart fall into the endless ghost prison." , who is stupid? For ten years, he has been thinking about killing his blood brother every day, do you think he still has ethics, family affection, and family rules in his heart?"
The gray-robed Taoist couldn't jump up anymore, and fell down on the chair with a gray face.
