Chapter 110: Seven Ironclad
Chapter 110: Seven Ironclad
[Year 58th]
[Li Yunbing has emerged from seclusion, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!]
[During Li Yundou's (one of the Seven Ironclad) turn as acting head of the family, he rallied the entire Green Valley Village into a militia. All four thousand-plus villagers practiced martial arts, and the whole village was clamoring day and night to take up arms and dominate the Sky Jade City region, creating chaos.]
[Seeing Li Yunbing's breakthrough, Xu Cuihua took the opportunity to drag her seven grandchildren to the ancestral hall for a good thrashing, venting three years of frustration. Subsequently, the temporary position of the family head was handed over to Li Yunbing.]
"Finally, someone normal has come out of seclusion!"
Seeing Li Yunbing emerge, and with dual spiritual roots at that, Li Wei felt a sense of relief.
During the time when all the Li family experts were in seclusion, Li Yaotie's seven children had given him and Xu Cuihua endless headaches.
It was true that these kids weren't stupid, but they were simply not suited to be the head of the family, at least not at this point in time!
Their brains are probably structured just like their muscles. The whole village becoming a militia was Li Yundou's idea, and everyone else also had their own ideas, all revolving around strengthening the Li family's military power!
Just look at the previous events on the list.
[Your descendant Li Yunzhe recruited a large number of retainers, but Xu Cuihua discovered that most of them had ulterior motives, and she killed them all.]
[Your descendant Li Yunjie took a fancy to another family's treasure and attempted to emulate her Fourth Aunt by planning a night raid, nearly plunging the Li family back into chaos during these turbulent times. Xu Cuihua dragged her to the ancestral hall for a beating, and she finally calmed down.]
[Your descendant Li Yunzhen, while traveling the world, saved a woman and won her favor, leading to a marriage proposal...]
Hmm... Zhen'er is indeed a worthy descendant of the Li family!
"As expected, it's not easy for a warrior to be the head of the family."
Li Wei looked at Li Yunbing, who was already seated at the head of the family's position, and his whole mood lifted. He murmured, "The experts are all in seclusion. This is a blank period for the family's development, just waiting for the experts to soar out of seclusion. Those few brats are always trying to flex their muscles. It's better to have the simple-minded Yunbing in charge. He won't cause any trouble."
Back to the scene.
Li Yunbing and Xu Cuihua were seated in the main and secondary seats, while the Ironclad Seven occupied the side seats. Chen Lin, Li Yundou's wife, was applying ointment to Li Yundou and his younger brothers and sisters-in-law, who had just been beaten and returned from the ancestral hall.
Li Tianyi, now 5 years old, was not as burly as the Ironclad Seven. Instead, he resembled his mother, Chen Lin, more. Despite his young age, he already had the graceful demeanor of a young gentleman. He jumped into Li Yundou's arms.
"So what if I don't become the head of the family?" Li Yundou grumbled, stroking Li Tianyi's head. "Did they have to hit us so hard? Even Grandpa never beat us like that."
"It's precisely because your grandpa spoiled you that you've become reckless brutes!"
Mentioning this, Xu Cuihua couldn't help but feel angry.
The Li family had so many descendants, and her children had all been a source of comfort. Some were in seclusion, some were blacksmiths, and Yaoqing from the Thunderfire Demonic Cave was constantly bringing good news. Even Yaowen, who had no cultivation, managed to send back a million spirit stones a few days ago.
Look at Yaozu's two children. Yunlin was promising, a favored son of the Skyveil Sect. Yunbing was obedient and incredibly wise, just like Li Dalong.
Then look at these seven...
She had never worried as much in her entire life as she had in the past two or three years. Despite having a thousand-year lifespan, she had grown dozens of white hairs during this time.
"Grandma..."
Li Yundou wanted to say something, but little Tianyi raised his head and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, don't say anything. If you don't behave, not only will Great-Grandma beat you, but Tianyi will also tell on you to Great-Grandpa, and he'll beat you too."
"Ah, my great-grandson is still the most well-behaved. Come, let Great-Grandma give you a pat." Xu Cuihua beamed with joy.
"Tianyi is not a puppy." Li Tianyi pouted but still walked towards his great-grandmother.
Li Yundou immediately became unhappy. He gritted his teeth, the swelling on his face causing him to gasp in pain. Yet, he still said fiercely, "Alright, you little brat, you even dare to threaten your father..."
"Why are you being fierce with the child?" Chen Lin immediately retorted. "If you yell at Tianyi again, don't even think about getting into bed tonight!"
"Blegh blegh blegh." Li Tianyi sat in Xu Cuihua's lap, sticking his tongue out at his father, making Li Yundou's face darken with anger.
With these seven big bears and this little prodigy, the Li family was certainly lively.
When everyone had calmed down a bit...
Li Yunbing cleared his throat, glanced at everyone, and casually said, "Now, it's time to arrange Yunzhen's wedding. I've checked the auspicious date, and it can be held next month. Yundou has also reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. I'll have someone ask Yunshu to buy some pills from the Cloudsea Pavilion, so you can go into seclusion and break through."
As soon as Li Yunbing spoke, everyone looked at him and nodded repeatedly.
Having just assumed the position of head of the family, Li Yunbing still had a simple expression on his face.
"Actually, our family shouldn't be causing trouble outside. My father, uncles, and aunts are either in seclusion or away from home. We have few Foundation Establishment experts in our family. Coupled with the chaos in the world, we should rely on Cloudsea Pavilion and the Skyveil Sect to recuperate and thrive in these troubled times."
Li Yunbing's words surprised everyone.
Especially Li Yundou, who had even tricked Li Yunbing out of candy when they were young!
