Chapter 69: Joining the Game

The Zhao family's hall was brightly lit.

The servants stood neatly and politely on one side, welcoming Li An and the other two to the table. The table was filled with all kinds of precious spiritual wines, spiritual foods, etc., and the jade plates were full of delicacies, which was very grand.

"Brother Li, please!"

"Brother Zhao, please!"

The three of them sat down, and Zhao Xianchuan personally poured wine for Li An. After pouring the wine, he took the lead in raising a glass, "Brother Li, I'll drink this glass first, toast to you!"

"Qingyang Fang City has turned into scorched earth, but Brother Li can be safe and sound, which is enough to shame the Demon Cult and make people admire!"

He drank it all in one gulp.

Li An smiled slightly, "Brother Zhao, you are too kind. Li An is just lucky to survive in the troubled times."

"This glass is for Brother Li. You can lead the Zhao family to rise to prominence in the midst of the turbulent rocks, which shows that Brother Zhao is a man of great talent and strategy."

He raised the wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Zhao Xianchuan's eyes were instantly filled with satisfaction.

He drank a glass first to show his sincerity and to show that the wine was not poisonous.

Li An followed closely to show his faith and to show that he believed him.

The three of them immediately exchanged cups and toasted each other. Even Wang Dazhu, who was honest in the past, had obviously experienced many such occasions and handled them quite well, but there was always some worry in his eyes.

"Not having fun, not having fun! Come on, call my beautiful servant up to pour wine for Brother Li!"

Zhao Xianchuan drank to his heart's content and spoke loudly. Soon a beautiful woman came up. Although she was wearing a servant's clothes, she was still radiant.

When Li An saw her, he stopped drinking.

Because the person in front of him... was Mu Qingwan!

She was actually here?

Wang Dazhu sighed softly.

When Mu Qingwan suddenly saw Li An, she was inexplicably stunned. Her eyes seemed to be full of shame. She subconsciously lowered her head and dared not look at Li An.

"Bitch, why don't you come over and pay your respects?!" Zhao Xianchuan scolded coldly. Mu Qingwan hurried forward like a frightened animal: "Meet the master, meet Wang Keqing, meet Li Dao... Li Xianchang!" Her voice was clearly trembling. "Brother Zhao, who is this?" Li An asked indifferently. "Brother Li, let me introduce you. This person used to be a high-ranking official disciple of Xuanyang Sect. Now, she is a slave I adopted. I saw that her husband died and she had no one to rely on, so I took her mother and daughter in... Hahahaha!" Zhao Xianchuan said happily, "Bitch, come and pour wine for Brother Li!" Mu Qingwan lowered her head and came forward to pour wine for Li An, but she seemed too nervous, and her hands were shaking slightly. The wine spilled instantly and dripped onto the table. "Bold!" Zhao Xianchuan shouted: "Kneel down and lick it clean!" Mu Qingwan was so scared that her whole body trembled. She knelt down hurriedly and actually stretched out her tongue to lick the wine on the ground. "You're such a spoiler," Zhao Xianchuan stood up and kicked Mu Qingwan on the butt, saying, "See how I'll deal with you tonight!" "Get out of here--" Mu Qingwan suppressed her grief and hurriedly stood up and ran out. "This bitch is no good, but her daughter is well-behaved... Let's call her daughter up to accompany Brother Li!" Zhao Xianchuan waved his hand again. A servant immediately went to call someone. During the whole process, Wang Dazhu next to him wanted to say something but stopped several times, his eyes were obviously full of reluctance, but he didn't say it out loud. Obviously, he said it, but it was useless. Li An was very calm, and even had a smile on his lips. "Brother Li, do you think I've gone too far?" Zhao Xianchuan said. "How could it be? I have never forgotten the hatred of this family for taking my foundation-building pill. If they fall into Li's hands, I will make them live a life worse than death." Li An was calm and indifferent. He didn't care about the fate of Mu Qingwan and her daughter. When Chen Cheng died in his hands, all the grudges were settled. He would not meddle in other people's affairs. Zhao Xianchuan laughed and grabbed Li An's hand, "Great minds think alike. To be honest, Brother Li, the reason I did this is, first, to avenge the humiliation I suffered in the past, and second, to avenge the pill that was taken away from you, Brother Li!"

"Brother Li, this time the three of us brothers are reunited. If we are united, we will definitely be able to establish a kingdom in the cultivation world. I sincerely invite you to my Zhao family and serve as a guest of talismans!"

"As long as you nod, I will have a share of the Zhao family's assets in the future, and you and Dazhu will have a share!"

"In addition, the foundation-building pill I promised Dazhu last time has been found, and Brother Li will definitely get one by then!"

Li An's expression moved: "Foundation-building pill?"

"Yes, Dazhu risked his life to refine two second-level magic weapons for my Zhao family. I promised to find him a foundation-building pill, but it is difficult to find, and I have only found a clue now..."

Zhao Xianchuan smiled.

Li An instantly understood why Wang Dazhu wanted to leave the Zhao family.

Besides not being able to stand Zhao Xianchuan's torture of Mu Qingwan and her daughter, it was probably related to this incident.

Li An said: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Zhao... But, I have been a casual cultivator for the past few years, and I am used to being lazy. I am afraid it will be difficult to adapt for a while."

"Brother Li, don't worry. I know you have concerns about such a big thing. You can stay in my house for a few days and see what kind of person Zhao is--"

Zhao Xianchuan was very frank.

At this moment, another young woman walked into the hall. She was obviously dressed up carefully, with a little rouge on her face, but she was still as beautiful as a lotus out of water, especially she was only wearing a thin gauze skirt, and her graceful figure was looming.

Li An had also seen this woman once.

Mu Qingwan's daughter, Chen Qingling.

"Qingling pours wine for father," Chen Qingling came slowly and poured wine for Zhao Xianchuan very gently, and then said one by one: "Qingling pours wine for Uncle Li and Uncle Wang." After pouring the wine, she stood beside Li An, and a faint fragrance kept coming. After three rounds of wine. "My dear daughter, send Uncle Li to bed and take good care of him tonight." Zhao Xianchuan laughed and spoke, Chen Qingling immediately helped Li An up, put his arm in her arms, and left with Li An like a little bird. Li An didn't say anything. Zhao Xianchuan arranged a single-family attic for Li An. After Chen Qingling and Li An went upstairs together, she closed the door. Li An sat on the bed and looked at Chen Qingling indifferently. The super-sensory art was running to the extreme, feeling the movements around, and at the same time, the spiritual consciousness was released. The surroundings were extremely quiet. He scanned with his spiritual consciousness all the way, and did not find any monitoring devices in the attic. Did Zhao Xianzhen's message just to bribe Li An with a beauty trap?

"Uncle Li, I heard mother mention you..."

Chen Qingling suddenly spoke. Eight years later, she was no longer the girl who couldn't leave her parents at Mashan Ferry. Although she was gentle now, she was more intelligent and clever.

"My mother said that Uncle Li was a good man with a great heart... She also said that our Chen family owed you a favor."

Li An said, "No, the grudges are over, and we don't owe each other anything."

Chen Qingling walked towards Li An. She sat beside Li An, tightly pressed against him, and her delicate white arms wrapped around Li An's neck, saying, "Uncle Li, your niece will serve you to sleep, okay..."

Her breath was as sweet as orchid, and her slender jade hands stroked Li An's back, then slid to his waist and stopped at the root of his thighs.

"Zhao Xian taught you so many things?"

Li An suddenly asked. Chen Qingling put her soft lips close to his earlobe and whispered, "Uncle Li, why are you asking so many questions?"

"Don't you trust my father?"

"Of course I do."

Li An said calmly.

"No... you don't believe it."

She suddenly panted, and in her soft moaning, she whispered intermittently: "Uncle Li, mother said that you are a good person. You must have sensed the danger. Take me with you, please..."

While she spoke soft and touching words, she hugged Li An with her arms, her big eyes were already filled with tears, so touching.
