Chapter 443: Chapter 10: Affectionate Father (10) (Bonus Update)

“They’re good people, so you mean that mother is a bad person?” Ye Lian gazed at her son, tears streaming down.

Li Shuhui had never experienced anything like this, and at this moment, he felt quite helpless.

His Bloodline Power was weak, but he also had his advantages. His grandfather found a suitable Cultivation Technique for him, and when he cultivated, he truly progressed quickly.

He believed that with his abilities, he could also protect his mother. His father was not a good man, and his mother was too deeply involved; mother, too, was deeply caught up.

Later, Ye Lian tried to talk to Li Shuhui several times, but Li Shuhui still didn’t change his mind.

Ye Lian only felt that her heart was breaking from exhaustion, yet she couldn’t make him understand.

From then on, she never brought up those matters with Li Shuhui again.

She knew her son would be her future support; she didn’t want any rift between them.

Living in the clan’s territory for a long time, she began to sense that something was strange.

To her knowledge, Brother Yun was not someone who could remain calm.

And he hadn’t appeared for so long—was Brother Yun really cultivating?

Could something have happened?

Ye Lian observed carefully but didn’t notice anything amiss. However, she did find out that after Brother Yun returned from outside, there had been no more news of him.

He went out to have fun, and then went into seclusion after returning, which completely contradicted Brother Yun’s character.

Brother Yun loved having fun; he disliked cultivating. How could he possibly stay in seclusion for several years at a time?

Ye Lian was an ordinary person; she didn’t know how to find Li Longyun, but she managed to locate one of his little followers and learned a lot about the White Wolf Clan from him.

She even entered Li Longyun’s study.

In his study, Ye Lian saw many places related to the White Wolf Clan.

As the Clan Leader, there were quite a few confidential items in Li Longyun’s study.

Yet no one expected that Ye Lian could get inside.

It should be known that Li Longyun’s study also had restrictions.

But the old Clan Leader never imagined that Li Longyun had once told Ye Lian how to open those restrictions. That Token was very powerful.

The Spirit Void Sect was an organization that would do anything for you as long as you had money.

Li Longyun had stored a large amount of money there, and as long as one carried the Token, the Spirit Void Sect would help with tasks.

The Token naturally had more functions than just that. With the Spirit Void Sect, the restrictions that Li Longhui set up in his own room could also be unlocked with the Token.

This man, when he liked someone, was kind-hearted and selfless. But when he didn’t, he discarded her like a worn shoe. In the storyline, as he said, he truly loved each woman, but slowly, that love faded, so he went off to seek another love.

Ye Lian saw many secret rooms of the White Wolf Clan, but as the old Clan Leader was in power, she couldn’t go into each one.

However, she had seen all the secret rooms in Li Longyun’s residence—there was no one there.

If he wasn’t cultivating in his own secret room, then where could he be?

Ye Lian found it increasingly suspicious.

After another six months, Ye Lian had become quite familiar with the clan’s territory. She was quite well-behaved, refraining from causing trouble, though she liked to wander around; the old Clan Leader didn’t bother with her.

After all, she was just a mortal. What could she possibly do?

That day, someone from the Red Wolf Clan broke through and became a Great Demon King, and Yang Tianlu took the two children back to congratulate him.

With Li Longyun absent, the old Clan Leader personally went to present congratulations.

After all, the clans had an old friendship, and it was a necessary gesture.

Once the old Clan Leader left the territory, Ye Lian became happy.

Finally, she found a chance.

Seizing the opportunity, she went to other secret rooms to search for Li Longyun.

She was not afraid of getting caught; after all, she was Li Shuhui’s mother. If caught, she could say she was worried about Li Longyun and wanted to check on him; at worst, she’d be confined and not allowed to leave. Could they really kick her out?

Ye Lian did indeed find Li Longyun.

The old Clan Leader had locked Li Longyun in a rather obscure secret room, located in an abandoned cave.

No one in the clan would ever go there.

Nevertheless, Ye Lian managed to find her way there. The spots she had marked were getting fewer and fewer. She had seen this secret room before, but it was very remote and deserted; it made her feel a bit apprehensive.

But when she used the method Li Longyun had taught her and opened the restriction, she was so happy to see Li Longyun that she shouted.

Seeing Ye Lian, Li Longyun was equally incredulous.

He had been locked away here, in complete darkness, to the point of near insanity. Although the restrictions were later lifted, he was still under a spell: his demonic power within was unusable, and the restriction to open the secret room from the inside had been broken, leaving him with no escape.

Heaven had eyes; unexpectedly, Ye Lian found him.

“Lian’er, how did you find your way here?”

Ye Lian threw herself into Li Longyun’s arms: “Brother Yun, boohoo, I missed you so much. After you left a few years ago and never came back to see me, people in the village started targeting me. I was so scared, so I escaped and found the Spirit Void Sect to bring me here. Father said you were in seclusion, but I felt something wasn’t right, so I wanted to find you. See, I did!”

“Brother Yun, are you cultivating? You look terrible; did I disturb you?”

“Silly girl, it’s okay. I angered my father, and he locked me up. Let’s go out.”

Of course, Li Longyun wouldn’t tell the truth. He knew the restrictions on him would be discovered as soon as he went out. He had to plan ahead; he couldn’t let the old fellow have another chance to lock him up.

In broad daylight, he wanted to see if the old fellow had the guts to say he was not Li Longyun.

And in that case, Li Shuwei and Li Shuning would suffer, ha-ha.

If the old fellow was unhappy, he would be delighted.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Longyun emerged from the secret room, the old Clan Leader, far away with the Red Wolf Clan, sensed it.

He rushed back to the clan, only to find Li Longyun chatting and laughing with the clan members.

Li Longyun told the clan members that he was injured during this period of seclusion and couldn’t continue the seclusion. He had to heal first.

This left the old Clan Leader with no excuse to continue the confinement.

However, the old Clan Leader did not lift the restrictions on Li Longyun.

These restrictions were set by the old Clan Leader and could only be removed by him—even a Saint couldn’t lift them, as each restriction technique was different.

Because Ye Lian saved Li Longyun, Li Longyun was treating Ye Lian better and better.

He even allowed Ye Lian to move into the place where the Clan Leader lived.

This left Yang Tianlu feeling somewhat awkward.

Li Shuning glanced at Yang Tiantian, who had been sitting by the window all day, and sighed inwardly. Loving the wrong person, yet being deeply entangled, was pitiful, too.

In the storyline, if it weren’t for having to protect her children, she’d probably still be stuck in love and unable to extricate herself.

“Mother, what are you thinking about?” Li Shuning approached.
