Even though he took Beihai Wang's healing medicine immediately after the war and barely suppressed the injury, it didn't mean that Li Tianlan's internal injuries no longer existed.
He risked his life with Qin Ke before the start of school, risked his life with Liu Xiuwei during the entrance drill, and today he risked his life for Wang Yuetong and two fire-burning masters who appeared out of nowhere.
The enemy's positions were different in the three attacks, but for Li Tianlan, they were all battles that required all-out effort.
As a result, the injuries piled up again and again. Yesterday's healing potion and longevity potion were probably in vain. After today's battle, his injuries were not light but serious, and he was forced into the burning fire realm. Although it only lasted a few minutes, he could The injuries left to him will take him several months or even longer to make up for.
In the fiercely competitive atmosphere of Sky Academy, Li Tianlan's level was not high to begin with. Now that he is injured, no one knows how difficult the situation will be during this period.
But Li Tianlan has no regrets.
Just like what he said to Enchantress, everything he did today was because he owed Wang Yuetong. This little princess of the Wang family in Beihai really didn't have any bad intentions towards him and cooperated with him to kill Liu Dongchao. I used the credits I got for being the first in the exercise to exchange him for a bottle of healing, along with the immortality produced by Beihai Wang himself. This was all a favor.
Coupled with today's meeting with a semi-immortal figure like Xuan Xuanzi, it can be seen that Wang Yuetong is indeed helping him.
From Wang Yuetong's point of view, she may hope that she can join the Beihai Wang family and wait until she enters the invincible realm to make the Beihai Wang family stronger. However, this does not mean that Wang Yuetong's actions are wrong. With her identity, It was only natural that she could have such thoughts.
Moreover, joining the Beihai Wang Family, for most people, is tantamount to a path to heaven, which is not a bad thing at all.
What's more, there are some sons-in-law who may become the Wang family of Beihai. This is simply pie from the sky.
But this path is not suitable for Li Tianlan.
He does not regret that the Beihai Wang family stood by and watched when the Li family was destroyed many years ago, but in the future, the Li family under his leadership, even if they will not regard the Beihai Wang family as their enemy, they will never advance or retreat with them again.
And now the Beihai Wang family no longer needs a Li family who will advance and retreat with them.
In this case, now that he is entangled with Wang Yuetong, what will he gain in the end
Silently accepting Wang Yuetong's help, when his identity was exposed and he was looked down upon by the Wang family of Beihai, even Wang Yuetong felt like being used and deceived. If he could not be a friend, he might become a leader by then. Enemies with personal grudges.
None of this is what Li Tianlan wants. He is a young man who has just come out of the mountains and forests. He has some abilities and a not stupid mind, but he has no connections and experience. His biggest fear is that he will get entangled with these seemingly aloof and powerful forces, and there will be a human trap. Too much, and over time, it can haunt people to death.
Wang Yuetong didn't have any bad intentions, but who could say for sure what the Beihai Wang family had in mind
The distinction between Jing and Wei is clear.
It's better to have a clear distinction between Jing and Wei.
Now that he had finally saved Wang Yuetong once, it was Li Tianlan's dream to be able to clear both sides and escape as soon as possible.
Leaving Enchantress and Wang Yuetong behind, Li Tianlan silently went down the mountain alone. His injuries were temporarily suppressed, but his body became a little weaker as his strength was drained. After walking less than a kilometer, he was already out of breath. .
Fortunately, this section of the road was downhill, which saved him a lot of energy. As Li Tianlan moved forward, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Yu Qingyan's number again.
While waiting for the call to be connected, he suddenly remembered Xuan Xuanzi's words.
Xuan Xuanzi said that he had just passed through the great calamity of life and death, and the next step would be a brighter future.
Well, the sky is brighter.
Li Tianlan felt his injuries, laughed at himself, and murmured: "The sea and the sky are brighter, sir."
"Who is it?"
On the other end of the phone, it was Yu Donglai who answered the phone. He heard the last few words of Li Tianlan and said something subconsciously.
"nothing."
Li Tianlan smiled bitterly and simply sat down on the roadside and said, "Mr. Yu, I'm a little injured. Can you ask Qing Yan to pick me up? I'm afraid I won't be able to get a taxi like this."
"what's the situation?"
Yu Donglai's tone suddenly became solemn. He didn't wait for Li Tianlan to finish speaking, and said directly: "Where are you? Qingyan is still cooking, I will pick you up personally. Is the injury serious? Is Wang Yuetong okay? "
Whether it was the Li Tianlan who in his eyes had mediocre talent but didn't know how to live or die, or the current Li Tianlan who had unlimited potential and amazing combat power, one thing had never changed in Yu Donglai's heart.
That is, he never regarded Li Tianlan as an outsider.
Li Tianlan has proven his own potential. In Yu Donglai's eyes, his future is almost as important as his granddaughter Yu Qingyan.
On his future road, Yu Donglai is willing to do his best to protect him, no matter how much he does.
So when he heard that Li Tianlan was injured, the old man couldn't sit still.
"I'm fine, and Wang Yuetong is fine too, but we just don't have a car."
Li Tianlan said his position with a wry smile.
Yu Donglai didn't talk nonsense to him at all, hung up the phone and drove off directly.
In Li Tianlan's impression, Lanshan National Park was at least dozens of kilometers away from Yu's Private Kitchen. Considering the traffic conditions in Huating at this time, he felt that he would have to wait for a long time.
But in fact, within forty minutes, a black Audi parked next to him. With the window rolled down, Yu Donglai greeted directly: "Boy, get in the car."
Li Tianlan dragged his heavy and weak body into the passenger seat, casually fastened his seat belt and said, "Why so fast?"
"I'm in a hurry. Who knows if someone will give you a slap in the face during this period? I ran a few red lights on the road, but it's no big deal."
Yu Donglai shook his head. He was old, but his movements were extremely crisp and clear. He made a skillful U-turn and Audi went straight down the mountain.
"What's going on with Wang Yuetong?"
Yu Donglai drove the car and went through the assassination. It was normal for Wang Yuetong to be away. However, when Li Tianlan was seriously injured, the Beihai Wang family did not make any arrangements and allowed him to sit here and wait alone. This was not very consistent with Beihai. Wang's style.
As the leading wealthy family in Central Continent, countless people have been angry at the strength and domineering behavior of the Beihai Wang family for many years, but these are just slanders from different standpoints. In terms of normal human relations, the Beihai Wang family will hardly let anyone find any fault. Come.
Li Tianlan shook his head and said softly: "The affection is too heavy and I can't bear it. We might as well not owe each other anything. This is the best result."
Yu Donglai was slightly startled and glanced at Li Tianlan subconsciously, his eyes serious.
The Li Tianlan in sight had a calm expression, no frustration, no regrets, no regrets. The sunlight outside the window shone into the car, Li Tianlan pursed his lips tightly, and his face was firm.
Yu Donglai sighed softly.
The treason case that year caused heavy losses to Zhongzhou and also traumatized the Southeast Group. At the time of the incident, the Beihai Wang family was indeed facing a crisis. It was reasonable not to take action. There was nothing to say. Let them do this. What the old people can't let go of is the rapid silence after the turmoil of the Beihai Wang family after the treason case.
After many years, Yu Donglai, who was once a player in the game, has become an outsider, but Li Tianlan's identity as a player in the game cannot be changed. His inner attitude towards the Wang family in Beihai is even related to whether his future will be a narrow escape. Still dead and without life.
Thinking of this, Yu Donglai felt that he needed to persuade: "Boy, do you have any knots in your heart? To the Wang family of Beihai."
"If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."
Li Tianlan smiled: "There's nothing to say, but things have already happened. The Wang family and Li family in Beihai can no longer go back."
He looked at the prosperous scene outside the window and murmured a few words to himself: "We don't owe each other, we don't owe each other."
This was not just for him and Wang Yuetong. In his heart, it was the best for the Li family and the Beihai Wang family to achieve this level.
Yu Donglai shook his head, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Li Tianlan, and lit one himself.
The Audi was weaving in and out of the traffic, leisurely. Yu Donglai took a big puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and suddenly said with firm eyes: "Boy, I will let Qing Yan follow you from now on. This girl is a bit weak-tempered, but her methods are not bad. She's not bad, but her talent is passable. She can hone her skills at the Sky Academy, see more of the evil in people's hearts, and wear off her weak temperament. Within ten years, it won't be a problem to enter the Thunder Realm. By then, she will be able to help you a lot. "
Li Tianlan looked at Yu Donglai with strange eyes.
"roll!"
Yu Donglai laughed and cursed, exhaling a puff of smoke: "What I said is to let Qing Yan follow you and help you from now on, not to follow you as your wife. You are a bad boy. I can't bear to let you harm my granddaughter, but as a An assistant is still fine.”
As he drove the car, his tone paused slightly, his smile faded, and his eyes became a little lonely: "Kunlun Xuanyuan Terrace, God of War Family, hey. You may not think it's anything, but an old guy like me looks at you and feels in my heart It's really uncomfortable. Boy, you are the most depressed member of the God of War family I have ever seen. You are alone and helpless. Fortunately, you are still up to date, otherwise the Li family will really become a forgotten legend. "
Li Tianlan smoked his cigarette silently and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Yu. If I succeed, I will definitely treat Qingyan kindly."
He couldn't refuse Yu Donglai, nor could he refuse.
This is the old man who followed his grandfather to conquer the world. Now he keeps his granddaughter by his side. Isn't this a sign of trust and persistence in Mr. Li
With his status, if the Li family was still there, Yu Donglai would definitely still be active on the top stage of Central Continent, but now he can only live in a private restaurant. The connections from the past may still be there, but the ups and downs in the world are still there. The general trend of Central Continent has become further and further away from him.
Is the old man really willing to do this? If he was really willing, why would he put his granddaughter by his side
This is the persistence and trust of an old man, and it is also his hope.
"Thank me for what?"
Yu Donglai threw away the cigarette butt, lit another one, and said softly: "The most important thing is to quickly form your own team. Your grandfather had five brothers around him back then, and your father had eight people around him. This is their core The most reliable team, known as the holy guards of the God of War family."
"You don't have this condition now, but I still hope that you can move faster. If you are willing to trust me, then you can fully trust Qingyan. Boy, grow up quickly. This is not to rush you, but I always The older I get, the more impatient I am. If I can see the Li family reappear in Central Continent and erect the big sign of Kunlun Xuanyuan Terrace in my lifetime, then I will die without regrets."
He drove the car and murmured to himself: "After I get down, I can also talk to the old brothers who left early."
Li Tianlan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
It seems that he will never become a person who always pats his chest to make guarantees. Many times, he is silent and seems to be used to silence.
Yu Donglai opened up the chatterbox and said softly: "We were brothers at that time. The eldest brother was codenamed Zhan Xiong. He had thunder veins and was born with divine power. His family background is that his father was once one of the sacred guards around His Highness's father. The eldest brother grew up with His Highness and is the most foolish and loyal."
"He was with His Highness the earliest, and he died the earliest. After following His Highness to the border, it is said that he died the next year. He died from a sneak attack and siege by the masters of Annan Kingdom. The masters of the thundering realm and even the half-step invincible realm died. It’s really frustrating, but it also makes people feel respected.”
"The second child, codenamed Sirius, is an assassin with a charismatic personality. He is elusive and most cruel and cunning. Many of the assassination techniques of the madman were taught by Sirius. After the madman's treason, His Highness was held accountable, and the second child was disheartened. Feeling cold, he went abroad and was later labeled as a traitor. However, he was alone and had nothing to worry about. During those years, he was a lone ranger in the dark world. He prospered and became famous in the dark world. .”
"But five years ago, the second child took a mission to assassinate a person in Africa who he couldn't afford to offend. After the mission failed, he also died. He was killed by three attacks. This was the best relationship I had with me when I was young. My second brother, when I heard the news, I almost went to Africa, but I couldn’t go and it would be useless, so I could only stay in my small restaurant in confusion."
"The third sister's nickname is Qingdie. She is the third sister. She is a real expert in intelligence work. The third sister has two sons. During the last battle of the fanatics' treason, the third sister's sons and husbands were in the fanatics' army. He held office, but after the battle, the madman turned traitor to the country. His husband died, his eldest son also died, and only his younger son was alive, but his legs were disabled. How tragic? "
"When Your Highness went to the border, the third sister didn't even show up. She has had no contact with me for many years. She probably has resentment towards the fanatics in her heart, which is understandable. But it's a pity that a beauty who was so beautiful when she was young will become so old when she gets old. She is old. She died of illness three years ago from brain cancer. When she left, she didn’t even ask her family to come to announce her funeral. This kind of ruthlessness is nothing like the way I followed my second brother to rescue me regardless of life or death when I was in trouble. Third sister."
"I am the fourth child, codenamed Poison Doctor. Your Highness and I are the latest and have made the slowest progress."
"When I met His Highness, I was still doing scientific research in the Zhongzhou Biological Laboratory. I know a little bit about martial arts and the Ice Condensation Realm. That's all."
"Once I tinkered with a research report, but for some reason I was targeted by a dark force abroad. They sent a squadron led by Thunder Realm masters and kidnapped our family. In order to save me, His Highness , chased that group of people for nearly 800 kilometers, and the lives of our whole family were given by His Highness. Since then, I have followed His Highness. My strength is average, but I can get by with poison. Gradually, in The Dark World has gained some fame.”
"When the fanatics committed treason, my son and daughter-in-law were also in the fanatic army. My son was an officer and my daughter-in-law was a military doctor. After that battle, they also died, leaving only Qing Yan and me. When His Highness left, I I went to see him off, but I didn’t follow him. I don’t know if His Highness would blame me after all these years. I don’t hate His Highness, nor do I hate the fanatics. I just don’t want to accept it. I don’t believe that fanatics can treason. I can’t let my son be like this. I really can’t die without knowing it!”
Yu Donglai lit up his third cigarette, his voice hoarse, as if he was crying.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word.
He knew who the boss Yu Donglai was talking about. Grandpa once said that he was the old brother who had followed him the longest. After his death, Li Tianlan was just two years old. He had long forgotten the old man's appearance, but he knew clearly after the old man died. , Grandpa dug the grave himself, erected the monument, and was buried in the unknown cemetery behind the border camp.
Next to the old man's grave, there is an empty grave. When he was a child, Li Tianlan never knew who the empty grave was for. It wasn't until he secretly returned to the border from the desert in northern Xinjiang more than a year ago that his grandfather took him with him that night. 70% drunk, he laughed and said that the empty tomb was prepared for himself.
Li Tianlan also met the old man's children, a son and a daughter. In his memory, he was a very tall and strong uncle, while the aunt was plain-looking, but gentle as water.
But now, the old man's children have also died at the border, one after the other, less than a month apart.
He was loyal and had no regrets, but in the end he ended up with a bad ending and no descendants.
Whose responsibility
The Li family has failed them, and also failed many people, such as Yu Donglai now, Qingdie who died of illness a few years ago, and what Gu Yunxia said, the army was wiped out due to his father's treason. An army of 120,000.
All these old debts are engraved in Li Tianlan's heart, dripping with blood and deep into his bones.
Kunlun City.
Prince Group.
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the strange red light in the depths of his pupils, and murmured softly: "There will be an explanation, there will be."
Yu Donglai patted Li Tianlan's palm and said nothing.
"Old Yu, where is the fifth child?"
Li Tianlan was silent for a while and continued to ask.
"Lao Wu, he is the youngest among the five of us. He has just turned sixty this year, right? When he is with His Highness, he can even be regarded as a young man."
"His code name is Fire Man, and he is known as the strongest master of the Burning Fire Realm. Until the end, he never entered the Thunder Realm, but eight, not ten, Thunder Peaks died in his hands. Because he was young, he was sent by His Highness He served as the second-in-command in the fanatic’s army. When the fanatic committed treason, the border was in chaos and conflicts continued, and he was on another front.”
"But after the madman rebelled against the country, as the second-in-command of the legion, Lao Wu was also held accountable. He was thrown directly into the desert prison by the people of the Prince Group. There has been no news for many years, and he does not know whether he is dead or alive. His Highness once said that year , in terms of talent and talent, among the five of us, Huo Man is definitely the number one, truly invincible. I guess this sentence is also one of the important reasons why Lao Wu ended up in that prison in the desert of Northern Xinjiang."
Yu Donglai sighed softly. When he talked about this, his tone was not full of anger and hatred, but only a kind of numbness and sadness that was close to despair.
"Legion?"
Li Tianlan repeated.
"Yes, legion. The Central-Continent Border Guards Legion! Twenty years ago, your father was the legion commander. At that time, both father and son joined the decision-making bureau that symbolized the pinnacle of power in Central-Continent. As a family, they guarded the peace of a city and a country. What a shame. Prominent? Who dares to disapprove?"
Yu Donglai's eyes were in a daze, full of memories.
Li Tianlan stiffened slightly and then returned to normal.
"I'm old, I just like nonsense. I've been holding back thousands of words over the years, but I still can't find the right person to talk to. The first time I met you, kid, you hid it too deeply. I thought you were an idiot. I didn't He said in a mood. It’s different now. He’s not a idiot. He’s clearly a genius. Boy, don’t let us old guys down, please!”
Yu Donglai shook his head violently and smiled heartily.
Li Tianlan nodded silently and said nothing.
"correct."
Yu Donglai held the steering wheel and turned a corner, and suddenly said: "The God of War Picture at Kunlun Xuanyuan Terrace is known as the martial arts bible in the world. Which chapter of the God of War Picture are you practicing?"
God of War picture!
That is the martial arts treasure that represents all the martial arts inheritance in Kunlun Xuanyuan Taichung. If you take it out, it will be equivalent to a real martial arts secret book.
All the essence of martial arts and unique skills of Kunlun Xuanyuan Terrace are recorded in it, and its value is simply immeasurable.
The three martial arts essences in the God of War are all the avenues leading directly to the invincible realm, but which one you choose will determine your final achievement.
Yu Donglai was once one of Li Honghe's closest confidants, so he naturally understood the key.
Li Tianlan lowered his eyelids slightly and said calmly: "This is the Invincible Chapter."
"What?"
Yu Donglai didn't seem to hear clearly and was stunned for a moment.
"Picture of the God of War, Invincible Chapter."
Li Tianlan repeated it again.
"Bang!"
Yu Donglai's hand holding the steering wheel shook, and the black Audi crashed directly into the guardrail on the roadside.
