Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi stood at the door with a complex expression, clutching the hem of his clothes, looking somewhat uneasy.

Ye Qing'er's face changed drastically upon seeing Li Guanqi's expression, her complexion paling and losing all color.

Clutching the doorframe, her figure swayed, the woman not daring to look up at Li Guanqi.

At this moment, Ye Tianying and Ye Feng's mother also rushed over.

Ye Tianying only saw Li Guanqi with a complex expression at the door, glancing around for a moment but not finding Ye Feng's figure.

His throat bobbed with difficulty, his brow furrowed, his eyes fixed on Li Guanqi, his lips trembling slightly.

The gentle Su Xi's eyes turned red at this moment, raising her hand to cover her mouth, suppressing her sobs.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath; since he dared to come to the Ye family, he was prepared to be beaten and scolded.

His slightly hoarse voice slowly sounded.

"Uncle, Aunt, Ye Feng is not dead."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Tianying quickly came to Li Guanqi, his face anxious as he spoke.

"Then what exactly happened to Feng'er?"

"Is he injured? Where is he? I have some high-level healing elixirs on me."

"Wait, I'll go get them, I'll go get them now!"

Su Xi also quickly said: "Yes, yes, there are some excellent healing elixirs at home, Lao Ye, go get them quickly."

Ye Qing'er didn't move, she knew very well that Li Guanqi's performance today meant that even if her brother wasn't dead...

The woman stood in front of Li Guanqi, ignoring her parents behind her.

A pair of beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Li Guanqi, one hand propping herself against the doorframe, hesitating for a long time before asking.

"My brother... what exactly happened to him?"

"He's not dead, but he didn't come back either, so where is he now."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Tianying, who was lifting his robe and walking into the house, also stopped.

The man's body stiffly turned around slowly, his eyes looking at Li Guanqi inexplicably, also anticipating what Li Guanqi's answer would be.

Li Guanqi pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly, his voice hoarse as he spoke.

"Ye Feng... he was captured by the Sha..."

"Nearly twenty Mahayana Realm cultivators still couldn't completely eliminate the Sha."

"Ye Feng's ghost hand... was actually a backup left by the Sha intentionally, one of my spirit's demon spirits, but there is another one..."

As he spoke, Li Guanqi's expression became even more guilty and remorseful.

His voice gradually became lower, his shoulders drooping, his whole spirit seemed to collapse a little.

He really regretted not discovering the demon spirit inside Ye Feng's ghost hand sooner.

If...

But there weren't so many ifs in this world, and sometimes, things would develop in the direction one didn't want them to.

Ye Tianying was silent for a long time, then murmured softly.

"Oh... captured..."

"Was my son brave before he was captured?"

The man's eyes were filled with tears, he had probably already guessed Ye Feng's eventual fate.

Su Xi's body softened and leaned on Ye Tianying's shoulder, her shoulders shaking slightly as she buried her head in the man's chest and cried loudly.

Li Guanqi closed his eyes, his throat moving slightly as he murmured softly.

"Brave!"

With that said, Li Guanqi took out Ye Feng's life jade slip from his backhand.

He bowed and said, "Uncle and Aunt, please rest assured!"

"Ye Feng is not only your son, but also my brother!"

"In the days to come, I will spare no effort to find Ye Feng's whereabouts!"

"One day! I will bring him home!"

Ye Tianying's eyes were filled with tears, and he kept nodding, trying to hold back the tears.

He saw unparalleled determination in Li Guanqi's eyes, and he believed that Li Guanqi would do everything in his power to find Ye Feng.

The man's shoulders drooped slightly, and he suddenly seemed to have aged a lot.

He looked at the life jade slip in Li Guanqi's hand, but did not choose to make a copy.

Ye Tianying supported Su Xi, and the always gentle and weak woman slowly broke free from Ye Tianying's support.

The woman, wearing a gorgeous light golden robe, slowly came to Li Guanqi, her eyes slightly red.

The woman reached out and took Li Guanqi's hand, those hands...

Warm, soft, and gentle, afraid of hurting Li Guanqi.

Su Xi tilted her head slightly, gently stroking Li Guanqi's tightly furrowed brow with her left hand.

Her gentle voice trembled slightly as she spoke softly.

"Child, Aunt doesn't blame you."

"Remember to bring him back, even if he's crippled."

Li Guanqi's brow relaxed slightly, and he said softly, "Aunt Su... don't worry, I will definitely bring him back!"

After saying goodbye to Su Xi and Ye Tianying, Ye Qing'er sent Li Guanqi to the door.

She said softly, "Li Guanqi."

"En?"

"Did you already guess that the Sha was going to attack us, so you secretly brought us here in advance? And the Xiao family's people."

Li Guanqi's back was to Ye Qing'er, his slightly messy hair was blown by the wind.

Li Guanqi didn't turn around, and said softly, "What if I knew, I still didn't defend against this move of the Sha."

"Ye Feng... actually it was for..."

Ye Qing'er interrupted, pushing Li Guanqi out of the courtyard gate.

"Don't say it, I know what kind of person my brother is."

The woman lowered her head, pursed her lips and wrinkled her nose, as if she didn't want to cry.

Ye Qing'er pinched the hem of her clothes and said softly, "Li Guanqi, you're a real man."

"Before, I just thought you were a pride of heaven, a genius and evildoer, a strong man above the clouds."

Ye Qing'er suddenly raised her head, a pair of beautiful eyes staring at Li Guanqi and said in a deep voice.

"But this time, I think you are very responsible."

"At least, as a man, you didn't cower and dare not come to our house."

After saying that, Ye Qing'er turned around and was about to return to the room, and said softly as she left.

"How is Xiao Chen?"

Li Guanqi paused slightly and said softly, "He's in the Violet Spirit Grotto-heaven, seriously injured, but his life is not in danger."

Ye Qing'er nodded, then closed the door.

She couldn't possibly leave home right now, and she probably had to wait a while to see Xiao Chen.

Li Guanqi would not hinder her relationship with Xiao Chen, on the contrary, he supported it very much.

At this time, the entire Ye family was like it had lost its backbone, and in the process of development over such a long time, there would inevitably be some enemies.

Li Guanqi didn't mind Xiao Chen taking action to deter one side.

After Li Guanqi walked out of the back mountain, he didn't choose to return directly to the Great Xia Sword Sect.

He turned his head and glanced at the endless mountains and ridges around him, and Li Guanqi raised his foot and took a step, teleporting thousands of feet.

Gradually, Li Guanqi didn't know where he had gone.

Until... a solitary grave stood on a mountain peak covered with flowers.

Li Guanqi stood in place looking at the solitary grave for a long time.

The tombstone was surrounded by flowers and birds singing.

Ning Xiu...

Li Guanqi came to the tombstone, held his sleeve and gently wiped the tombstone clean.

Li Guanqi squatted in front of the tombstone, his state of mind was unprecedentedly calm.

He placed the offerings, mostly desserts.

He lit the landscape incense, and Li Guanqi sat next to Ning Xiu's tombstone and took out a head from the storage ring.

Chen Zhi, the head of the person who killed Ning Xiu back then.

In addition to this, Li Guanqi finally took out the vermilion wine gourd.

He sat cross-legged next to the tombstone, the sound of birds chirping in his ears, and the breeze blowing against his face, causing the ancient trees behind him to rustle.
