Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 703: A Temporary Ceasefire

The strangeness surrounding Su Chen and Nangong Qingya also caught Li Weiʼs eye.

Li Wei guessed that perhaps Su Chen was the ʼChild of Destinyʼ corresponding to Li Xinnianʼs [Fated Villain] trait. But hearing Li Yaowenʼs words, Li Wei was stunned for a moment.

Right, who decreed that the Child of Destiny and the Fated Villain must fight to the death?

At least for now, Li Xinnian and Su Chenʼs relationship was quite good.

And as for ʼinviting disaster,ʼ the family had always faced calamities. In this chaotic age, which family or person hasnʼt faced disaster?

At this moment, Su Chen, down on the ground, was still killing enemies.

This old monster, reincarnated from tens of thousands of years ago, didnʼt know he was already being watched by the Li familyʼs experts.

Su Chen had just killed a cultivator while riding his sword.

Suddenly, a sharp pain flashed through his mind, causing him to curse under his breath, ”A lingering ghost.”

It was the remnant will of the bodyʼs previous owner!

Even though he had been reincarnated, whenever he saw Li Xinnian and Nangong Qingya, the previous ownerʼs lingering thoughts would always influence him, urging him to kill Li Xinnian and take back Nangong Qingya.

Su Chen glanced down at the ground. If it had been right after his reincarnation, when he knew nothing, perhaps he really would have fulfilled the original ownerʼs long-cherished desire.

But the more contact he had, the more he came to appreciate Li Xinnian.

Especially now, in his youthful body, among his peers, only Li Xinnian could walk the same path as him.

In these short four years, he had relied on Li Xinnian to resolve quite a few troubles.

Especially concerning the Li family members.

Su Chenʼs memories were filled entirely with resentment towards the Li family.

But after Li Xinnian had come to his door that day, he saw how respectful the Skyveil Sect disciples were towards him and decided to investigate.

Only then did he learn that the Li family had been established in the Azure Cloud Region for several hundred years. While the clanʼs history might not be world-shaking, it was certainly worthy of song and tears.

It could be said that the entire Azure Cloud Region owed its current state entirely to the Li family.

And as for Eternal Sun Prefecture, if the Li family hadnʼt led the people of Azure Cloud to block the Wu Clan, then in this chaotic age, Eternal Sun Prefecture would likely have already become a playground for foreign races. As for the Su family...

They were all fools. At least in Su Chenʼs view, the Su familyʼs support for Prince Qianʼs rebellion against the Azure Cloud Region was entirely self-inflicted.

Naturally, the Li family, having fought their way to the present day, were no saints either.

To outsiders, they were all followers of an unorthodox path. But... if everything in this world were judged so simply, perhaps everyone would be considered a demon.

”Senior Brother Su!”

In the moment Su Chen was lost in thought, Li Xinnian had already arrived beside him, riding his sword and floating in the air.

This beloved young master of the Li family had inherited the fearlessness of his kin, always charging to the forefront in battle.

Now covered in wounds, high in the sky surrounded by enemies, he frowned at the thoughtful Su Chen.

”Senior Brother Su, Iʼve found a Spirit Herb Garden. Do you dare charge in there with me?”

”Letʼs go!” Su Chen grinned, showing his teeth.

”Speaking of which, why are you so excited about a Spirit Herb Garden? As the young master of the Li family, donʼt you get whatever you want?”

Hearing this, Li Xinnian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a bitter smile.

”Itʼs not as good as you think. I get a stipend every year, but itʼs pitifully small. My dad says our family rule is that the reward must match the contribution; otherwise, you owe a debt.

A few years ago, the Old Ancestor gave me a treasure, and now I owe a huge debt. Based on my stipend, itʼll take me eighty thousand years just to pay it back.”

”Ah?” Su Chen was stunned.

”Letʼs go, Senior Brother Su. If we take this Spirit Herb Garden and divide it equally, Iʼll be able to pay off ten years of my debt.” Li Xinnianʼs face was full of earnestness as he turned and charged toward the Spirit Herb Garden.

Some children are still young, yet their greatest dream is to pay off an eighty-thousand-year debt.

”Me too! I want some too!”

Seeing Li Xinnian charge towards the Spirit Herb Garden, Nangong Qingya, her green skirt fluttering, soared through the air after him.

Su Chen watched Li Xinnianʼs back and couldnʼt help but smile.

Across his past and present lives, he had never expected that he could get along so well with a young man.

”A demon in the eyes of others may perhaps be a beneficial friend to me. Interesting. Very interesting indeed.”

...

[Year 478]

Li Wei looked at the familyʼs current situation and was quite satisfied with these days. Although there was still localized turmoil, things were much calmer and more stable than before.

That Eternal Sun Prefecture Righteous Path Alliance had basically become a place for the younger generation of Eternal Sun Prefecture four great powers and the Azure Cloud cultivators to gain experience.

Li Wei sometimes referred to the Alliance as a ʼHard-difficulty Instance Dungeon.ʼ

Many messages from his descendants also appeared on the panel.

[Your descendant, Li Tianyue, sends you information: Due to the severity of the Wu Clan invasion, Prince Yu and Old General Dongfang Lianwu have negotiated a temporary ceasefire.]

”Prince Yu really has vision,” Li Wei sighed in admiration upon seeing this message.

However, his attention was quickly drawn to another message.

[Your descendant, Li Yaotie, is preparing to break through to the Divinity Transformation realm via the path of a fifth-rank artifact refiner.]

In an instant, Li Wei vanished from the spot.

A clansmanʼs breakthrough was an extremely important matter to him, especially Li Yaotieʼs.

Although the young manʼs physical body was powerful due to his ʼUnorthodox Artifact Body,ʼ his Nascent Soul was very fragile. Otherwise, after absorbing a share of Tian Xingʼs cultivation base, he wouldnʼt have taken until now to break through to Divinity Transformation.
