guided to the consultation table by her daughter, seeing a young man in his twenties sitting there made her turn towards her daughter with displeasure: "Didn't you say it's an old doctor Why is there...Chapter 132: Cannot Be Kept

"Master Li, are you a descendant of Li Xuanching" Xiao Yu heard Master Li's words but didn't turn around, continuing to gaze at the moonlit scenery. After a while, he slowly said.

For Xiao Yu, Master Li was somewhat significant; since he had inherited Zhong Kui’s lineage and become a Celestial Master, he indeed needed someone to brief him on some matters in the present cultivation world.

"Hm" Upon hearing this, Master Li suddenly raised his head from its slightly lowered position, his eyes flashing with keen interest as he looked at Xiao Yu.

Master Li’s mind was now tumultuous. Whether past or present, people knew that the Li family was a cultivation lineage, but few knew of their ancestor's name, Li Xuanching, besides each generation’s head of the household.

How did Xiao Yu come to know this Even within the Wang family, apart from each generation’s leader, few were aware of the name of the Wang ancestral master, who was also known as Li Xuanching.

"Are you referring to the Wang family being descendants of Wang Tie Is there anyone left in the Wang family" Xiao Yu ignored Master Li's shock and continued saying.

"What" Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, amazement had turned into awe on Master Li’s face, causing him to exclaim involuntarily.

At this moment, Xiao Yu seemed incredibly mysterious in Master Li's eyes. Who was he Not only did he have the uncanny ability of drawing talismans in mid-air at such a young age but also knew some confidential matters concerning their own and Wang’s families.

Xiao Yu even called out the name of the ancestral master of the Wang family directly. Knowing that discipline in the Wang household was stricter than in Li's, if Xiao Yu were to be the heir of the Wang lineage, it would be impossible for him to address their ancestor by name. What exactly was happening here How could he know so much about us two families’ affairs Who is he Could he possibly be a government official

"Who are you And how do you know" Master Li stared warily at Xiao Yu standing in the moonlight, asking sternly.

Xiao Yu turned around to face Master Li without answering his question but asked instead: "Whose work is your 'Seven-star Ghost Sealing Flag'"

Regarding the Seven-star Ghost Sealing Flag in Master Li’s hand, Xiao Yu had always been curious. Based on observations, this flag couldn’t be older than two hundred years and yet it was crafted even after a great calamity when primordial energy was scarce. Its craftsmanship wasn't inferior to that of Li Xuanching back then.

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Master Li stared at Xiao Yu with wide eyes. The name "Seven Stars Ghost-Sealing Flag" was only mentioned on the first page of the Li family genealogy, and it was just a brief mention before suggesting that it be renamed to "Beidou Law Banner Formation." However, the reason for this renaming wasn't recorded in the genealogy.

Seeing that Master Li didn't respond after a long pause and only stared at him with surprise, Xiao Yu didn't press the matter further even though he was unaware of the reasons behind it.

Xiao Yu ignored the shocked Master Li and continued, "Xu Qing Li and Tie Wang are sworn brothers to Zhong Kui, right"

Master Li took a few steps back, pointing at Xiao Yu without uttering a word for some time. After a while, it seemed as though he had recovered his senses and looked at Xiao Yu with widened eyes, trembling as he asked, "Who exactly are you"

No wonder Master Li was shocked; the Li family and Wang family had never publicly declared that they were sworn brothers to Zhong Kui. Moreover, there wasn't a single written record about their connection to Zhong Kui!

The only information passed down orally by each generation's patriarchs in both families stated that the founders of the Li and Wang families—along with Zhong Kui—were sworn brothers. When Zhong Kui was due for his tribulation, he instructed them to hide their identities and not mention anything related to him.

It turned out that throughout his life, Zhong Kui had exterminated countless demons and monsters. Some of these weaker demons that slipped through his notice were incomprehensible mysteries to Xu Qing Li and Tie Wang. To avoid bringing disaster upon themselves and their families, Zhong Kui specifically instructed them to keep this a secret; generations of the Li family later speculated that renaming the Seven Stars Ghost-Sealing Flag as Beidou Law Banner Formation might have been related to this.

Now Xiao Yu had just revealed their background. How could Master Li not be alarmed As for the connection between the Li and Wang families with Zhong Kui, even if he believed that Xiao Yu was a descendant of the Wang family, it would be impossible for him to know about this.

During times of war, the Wang family's lineage had been cut off. At that time, an elder from the Li family who was by the side of the head of the Wang family received special instructions regarding this matter.

The head of the Wang family told the Li family elder, "If there are descendants left in our Wang family, let them pass on these words and continue their lineage; if not, let it fade into history."

Later, the Li family made every effort to search for any remaining members of the Wang family, but with the Wang family's sparse population, even mobilizing their entire clan's resources didn't yield results. Therefore, these words were considered extinct within the Wang family.

"Could you be a reincarnation of Zhong Kui" As Master Li looked at Xiao Yu before him who seemed unfathomable and deep in mystery, this possibility suddenly flashed through his mind, causing him to blurt out.

Afterward, he gave a self-deprecating laugh and continued, "Impossible… Although there are legends of reincarnation, those who practice know that the concept is nothing but vague tales with no basis in reality!"

"Mr. Xiao, who exactly are you How do you know the secrets of my two families Please tell me!" Ji Quanshi really couldn't figure out Xiao Yu's background and thus respectfully bowed to him and said.

Although Master Li didn't yet know Xiao Yu's origins, he could clearly sense that Xiao Yu was far from ordinary. In his heart, there was a premonition that Xiao Yu must have some connection with his family; otherwise, why would he tell him so much

"Hehe, don't be nervous. I do have some connection with your family. As for what kind of connection You wouldn’t believe me if I told you anyway, so it's better not to say! In short, I won't harm the Li Family!"

Xiao Yu decided to keep his identity as a Zhong Kui successor concealed; after all, this matter was too shocking.

Master Li listened to everything Xiao Yu said. Although he was very curious about what connection Xiao Yu had with his family, since Xiao Yu didn't mention it, he wisely chose not to ask. As long as he knew that Xiao Yu wouldn’t harm the Li Family and had some connection with them, that would be enough.

And in his heart, Master Li also vaguely guessed about Xiao Yu’s origins; according to some records by their ancestor Li Xuanqing, Zhong Kui had a sister who also inherited some of his legacy.

Although the family of Zhong Kui's sister didn't have much contact with Li Xuanqing, they were still aware of each other's existence.

Even though they lost touch after Zhong Kui’s demise during the Heavenly Tribulation, Master Li believed that their counterparts must have continued their lineage as well.

If it really turned out to be a descendant from Zhong Kui’s sister's family, knowing so much about his own family wouldn't be surprising at all.

Who knows what Xiao Yu would think if he knew Master Li’s guess But for Xiao Yu, it didn’t matter; he just needed someone to tell him about the cultivation world, and how people speculated about his origins was irrelevant to him.

"Master Li, why did you come out How is the situation inside the room" asked Xiao Yu, addressing Master Li who stood beside him.

"Mr. Xiao, it's better if you still call me Lao Li or Li Shiqing. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to accept your honorific..." Hearing Xiao Yu’s address, Master Li corrected him again. Although he didn’t know the specifics of Xiao Yu’s background, for someone who could draw talismans in mid-air—a truly awe-inspiring feat—calling himself a master would only invite ridicule from peers!

If it came down to it, Xiao Yu was undoubtedly Master Li's ancestor. Calling him Lao Li or Li Shiqing wouldn't be inappropriate. But since he hadn’t clarified his identity, there was no point in mentioning this, and with Master Li being so old, calling him by name or “Lao Li” directly would make Xiao Yu extremely uncomfortable.

"Alright then! From now on, you can call me Master Li, and you can just use my name, Xiao Yu. How does that sound"

I was also conflicted about how to address Xiao Yu—since I hadn't revealed my identity, but the facts were undeniable.

Master Li thought for a moment before nodding in agreement. This seemed to be the most appropriate way to address him currently.

Just then, Master Zhang shook his head and came out of the room as well.

"Old Zhang, why are you also coming out Have you finished dealing with everything inside" Li Shiqing asked when he saw Master Zhang come out.

"Haha, I've finished. Jin Furen has softened her stance! She's only going to ensure they never set foot in the country again!" A cold smirk appeared on Master Zhang’s lips as he chuckled lightly. Amidst his words, Xiao Yu noticed a chilling killing intent flicker through Master Zhang’s eyes.

"Master Li, this pair of lovers must be eliminated!" Master Zhang said to Li Shiqing.

When saying this, Master Zhang didn’t avoid Xiao Yu, as they would have if Xiao Yu were an ordinary person. But now that Xiao Yu was also part of the Eight Trigrams world, his interests aligned with theirs.

Li Shiqing nodded in agreement and turned to look at Xiao Yu, afraid there might be obstacles for him since this involved killing people, not just cats or dogs. Thus, Li Shiqing said: "Xiao Yu, it’s not that we—"

But before Li Shiqing could finish his sentence, Xiao Yu waved his hand to cut him off. Although Xiao Yu had a compassionate heart, it didn’t mean he was soft-hearted. For those who deserved to be saved, he would certainly apply his miraculous skills; for those who needed to be killed, he was equally resolute and merciless.

"Haha, they must be eliminated!!" With a cold sternness in his eyes, Xiao Yu declared.

Actually, when Master Zhang said that these two couldn’t stay alive, Xiao Yu understood the implications. After all, their opponents were no ordinary people, and with deadly enmity already established between them, unless they were completely eliminated, there was a risk of these enemies threatening his family instead.

Master Zhang and Li Shiqing were still somewhat safe because their families had some knowledge of Eight Trigrams techniques. However, Xiao Yu's family was ordinary people. Moreover, Xiao Yu’s loved ones were his weak spots; any threat to them would be met with no mercy from him, squashed in its infancy.he remaining money to Xiao Yu.
