Has he been discovered?

Li Tan did not know where Li Yasi's residence was, so he had no choice but to go to Li Yong's residence.

Soon, he saw the guard, Li Lanfeng, and with Li Lanfeng's guidance, he quickly arrived at Li Yasi's dwelling.

It was largely as Li Tan had expected: opulent and magnificent. Stepping into the courtyard was like entering a jade palace, exuding a sense of luxury and grandeur everywhere.

Soon, Li Tan chose a "slightly simpler" room and tossed Li Yasi out to get some fresh air. After all, it wouldn't be good if he died.

As expected, upon seeing Li Tan, Li Yasi continued to hurl insults without restraint.

He kept muttering, "You lowly servant! You are despicable and shameless! Devious and cunning! You are truly a complete scoundrel!"

"The Heavenly Dao is truly unjust; it would actually allow a filthy, ugly insect like you to live in..."

There was no other way. Li Yasi was too noisy when he came out, so Li Tan was forced to let him sleep peacefully...

However, at this moment, Li Tan suddenly thought of a question as he looked at the sleeping Li Yasi.

After some thought, Li Tan decided to "force start" Li Yasi.

Upon waking, Li Yasi was momentarily bewildered, then seemed to realize something and immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation.

Just as Li Yasi was about to unleash a torrent of trash talk, Li Tan spoke first.

"If you speak any more useless nonsense, I don't mind removing some parts from your body."

Although this move was simple, it was remarkably effective. Li Yasi indeed fell silent for a moment, closing his mouth.

Then he stared at Li Tan with a face full of venom, and the atmosphere became very oppressive.

Seeing Li Yasi settle down, Li Tan also voiced the doubts in his heart.

"Why isn't there any High Grade Talisman of the first tier in your storage ring? Is it because you don't have enough Spirit Stones? Or for some other reason?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yasi first stared at him with a strange look, the astonishment in his eyes seemingly materializing, and then he burst into laughter.

Seeing Li Yasi's behavior, Li Tan was momentarily at a loss.

"Could it be that this Li Yasi has gone mad?"

After a long while, the disheveled Li Yasi finally stopped laughing, and with a hint of mockery in his tone, he slowly spoke:

"It seems the former you was just an ordinary Family disciple. Before your talent Awakening... Medium Grade Talismans and High Grade Talismans were not available to Li Family disciples."

"These are well-known facts among the High Grade disciples of the Li Family."

"Moreover, a single first-tier High Grade Talisman costs around 20,000 Spirit Stones. Even High Grade disciples rarely have that many Spirit Stones."

Li Tan nodded slightly, his doubts vanishing instantly, and thoughts flooded his mind.

"So that's it. No wonder Li Yasi had over 20,000 Spirit Stones, yet not even a single true Medium Grade Talisman."

"And although I had purchased Talismans once, I didn't even dare to ask the price of Medium Grade Talismans, so naturally, I didn't know this principle."

At the same time, he was also very grateful for his luck. As for the truthfulness of this information, it didn't matter at all, as this information wouldn't affect him in any way.

After getting the answer he wanted, Li Tan did not let Li Yasi go back to rest.

Instead, his interest was piqued. A glint flashed in his eyes, followed by a look of anticipation: "Li Yasi, do you have any other hidden treasures? I will consider letting you go based on the value of the items."

As he finished speaking, Li Tan even grabbed a plate of pastries brought by a maid and obsequiously pushed them towards Li Yasi.

He even generously draped a new set of clothes over Li Yasi.

As for why he didn't help him wear them?

Because Li Yasi's hands were already broken, and the injuries to his legs were so severe that he couldn't even stand. With a Mortal's self-healing ability, it would likely take several months for him to barely stand.

Li Yasi showed no pretense whatsoever, devouring the pastries in front of him ravenously, ignoring Li Tan for the moment.

Watching Li Yasi, who was like a hungry wolf, Li Tan inwardly exclaimed, "There's hope!"

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Li Yasi had devoured the entire plate of pastries. Perhaps feeling a bit thirsty, he turned his attention to the tea in the distance.

Li Tan naturally met his request, personally bringing the tea to him.

After Li Yasi had eaten and drunk his fill, he simply lay flat on the ground, looking very relaxed.

However, he remained silent, even closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

Li Tan could no longer contain his impatience and quickly asked, "Li Yasi, where did you hide the treasure?"

Li Yasi on the ground remained unfazed, and after a long while, he leisurely uttered, "What treasure? It's not even dark yet."

Li Tan's face suddenly darkened, and he glared angrily in Li Yasi's direction: "Did you eat those pastries for nothing? If there's no treasure, why did you eat them?!"

Li Yasi, however, looked like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, completely ignoring Li Tan's reprimand.

"Bang, bang...."

A crisp knocking sound came from outside the door, so Li Tan had to put Li Yasi back into his storage ring first.

Upon opening the door, he found that the person was Li Lanfeng. Li Lanfeng first bowed, then respectfully said, "Young Master Yasi, Second Elder requests your presence."

The scene shifted, and Li Tan returned to the familiar large courtyard. Led by an old servant, he met Li Yong.

At this moment, Li Yong's appearance was vastly different from before. He wore a blood-red robe, his face was solemn, and he paced back and forth in the hall as if troubled.

He seemed to have something on his mind, and his expression conveyed a sense of gravity.

Upon seeing Li Tan arrive, his expression softened slightly.

Li Yong said somewhat eagerly, "Si'er, the Li Family is about to change. During this time, I will do my best to improve your Cultivation."

Then, he took out a bowl of sticky, brown liquid from his storage ring, which looked quite disgusting at first glance.

"Si'er, this is Spiritual Root Liquid!"

"Don't let this small bowl deceive you; to obtain it, I hunted down at least a hundred Cultivators, half of whom were from my Li Family, and the other half were Loose Cultivators and Demon Sect disciples."

"It will help your Spiritual Root ascend to a Third-Grade High Grade!"

Li Tan couldn't help but secretly click his tongue in amazement. A hundred Cultivators! In the end, they all turned into a puddle of liquid.

But soon, Li Tan noticed something amiss in Li Yong's words.

Looking at Li Yong, who seemed to be considering everything for him, his heart was filled with extreme astonishment.

How could he be worthy of a Late Stage Foundation Establishment powerful being considering everything for him?

Li Tan initially didn't have such thoughts, but as time passed, this matter became increasingly suspicious.

"Is it merely because of Bloodline affection?"

"No, no, no. Among the Cultivators who can Cultivate to Foundation Establishment, which one is pure-hearted?

"In this man-eating Family, such Saints would not be allowed to appear!"

"What went wrong?!"

Li Tan suddenly felt as if his mind was about to explode.

"Are these all illusions? Or is Li Yong preparing for Possession? Or is he raising me to be a dead servant?"

Li Tan's thoughts scattered, and ideas surged, as he frantically speculated about one truth after another.

Finally, he couldn't help but think of a terrifying outcome!

"That is, his identity has been discovered!!"

As this thought settled, Li Tan's back was already drenched in cold sweat, and he felt the hairs on his body stand on end from fear.

Li Tan knew very well that if he were discovered, he would definitely not have a good end!

Looking at the smiling Li Yong in front of him, Li Tan felt only fear in his heart.

"It's like a wolf discovering that he himself has no weapon in his hand."

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!!"
