Li Zhi's trace

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

Li Yasi was not dead; he was just in harsh conditions, roughly shoved into a cabinet by Li Tan.

He was force-fed Medicinal Pills and Medicinal Pills that induce prolonged unconsciousness! Thankfully, he was still alive!

Originally, Li Tan wanted to put him into a storage ring, but considering it would be troublesome, he simply let him stay there.

During these days, Li Tan's cultivation had not progressed at all, but under Li Yong's guidance, his Swift Wind Shadow could be barely used, though clumsiness was inevitable.

His Knife Technique had improved significantly compared to before, adding more skill and better posture. Overall, it looked much more like a proper Knife Technique now.

However, the Dao of the Sword...

It was a long story...

Although Li Tan never expected his Sword Dao talent to be exceptional, he never thought it would be so terrible!

He was utterly clueless! It was common for him to use a sword as if it were a knife.

"Forget it, no one is perfect."

Li Tan comforted himself, then bid farewell to Li Yong and began preparing for the so-called banquet.

After leaving Li Yong's residence, Li Tan pondered for a while and finally decided to go to Li Na's residence. He truly needed a Magical Artifact with Yin attribute!

Without a Yin-attribute Magical Artifact, how could he practice Corpse Refining? And Swift Wind Shadow was linked to Corpse Refining. If he had no Corpse Fiend to control, a mere deceptive Swift Wind Shadow would be something he wouldn't dare to use freely in combat.

Since he couldn't seek Li Yong's help and the auction had no clues, it seemed he could only search for Li Zhi's whereabouts.

If he couldn't find Li Zhi, he would have to try his luck at a shop.

Purchasing from a shop was a last resort, as it would inevitably leave a handle for others to use. Unless absolutely necessary, this method was not viable.

Soon, he arrived at Li Na's residence.

When the surrounding Disciples saw it was Li Yasi himself, they immediately started gossiping.

"It's the Second Elder's successor, Li Yasi! I've seen him come to Li Na's residence twice already!"

"Could it be? They have something going on!"

"Don't say it so obviously, if you're discovered, you won't want to live!"

"In my opinion, Young Master Yasi and Sister Na are a match made in heaven, a true Dragon paired with a Phoenix, so suitable for a talented man and a beautiful woman."

There were all sorts of whispers from the surrounding crowd, which surprised Li Tan. He didn't want to bother with these idlers and walked directly towards Li Na's residence.

But the conversation between two Disciples suddenly made his face darken.

"I don't object to Young Master Yasi and Sister Na finding companions, but aren't they both from the Second Elder's lineage?"

"You don't understand, do you? This is called keeping the good stuff within the family!"

After saying this, the two Disciples suddenly felt the air around them turn cold.

"Strange! Why is it so cold on such a sunny day!"

Another Disciple pointed forward.

"What's wrong, Li Jia? Is there a beauty?"

Seeing his friend frozen on the spot, he looked with surprise in the direction Li Jia was pointing.

Li Tan was "smiling" at them, like a sinister and terrifying bat in a dark cave.

After scaring away those two Disciples, he also arrived at Li Na's residence. With his current 450-meter perception, he could naturally confirm whether Li Na was there!

The next moment, he coldly shouted, "Li Na, come out and see me now!"

As soon as his voice fell, a beautiful woman with a fresh and refined aura slowly walked out. Her figure was outstanding, and her appearance was as beautiful as a flower.

The word 'grace' had become her synonym. Many Disciples within the Li family secretly admired her.

Li Tan himself had to admit that Li Na was exceptionally beautiful since childhood, a true beauty, one of the few peerless beauties in Qingfeng City.

"Young Master."

Li Na slowly approached him and bowed very properly.

Li Tan clearly did not want to waste time and directly asked, "Are there any clues about Li Zhi?"

As these words fell, Li Na could clearly feel the killing intent in Li Tan's eyes, and the surrounding air became unusually cold.

She had no doubt that the man in front of her would kill her!

Li Na's heart pounded, and the intense danger made her hands and feet cold, plunging her into fear. However, she still forced a smile.

"Young Master, rest assured! This small matter has naturally been inquired about by this humble girl."

As Li Na's words fell, Li Tan couldn't help but be surprised, and the thoughts in his mind surged like ocean waves.

Li Tan, who had already prepared for the worst, originally thought that this trip would be in vain, but he didn't expect such an unexpected gain.

Li Tan couldn't help but doubt, "Is this true? Do you know the consequences of deceiving me!"

"This matter is naturally true. This humble girl is loyal to Young Master... The sun and moon can bear witness, how would I dare to deceive Young Master?"

Looking at the flustered Li Na in front of him, Li Tan couldn't help but feel pleased.

"It seems this Li Na really has some tricks up her sleeve; she actually found Li Zhi!"

Thinking this, Li Tan's expression softened, no longer showing any of his previous fierce and menacing demeanor.

At this moment, he looked more like an elegant scholar.

Watching the killing intent dissipate from the man in front of her, Li Na was also filled with lingering fear, heavily exhaling a breath of turbid Qi.

"Quickly! Where is he!"

Having heard clues about Li Zhi, how could Li Tan sit still? He desperately needed a Magical Artifact with Yin attribute.

"The auxiliary materials are ready; only the core is missing. Success is assured in one go."

Li Tan was burning with impatience, eagerly questioning Li Na. If an uninformed bystander were present, they would surely think Li Tan was an out-and-out villain!

In broad daylight, he was simply disregarding the law, daring to openly disrespect the beautiful girls of the Li family.

"According to my people's investigation, this person often goes alone to the graveyard for lower-ranking Disciples. If I'm not mistaken, he must be in the graveyard right now!"

Li Tan pondered, he already had his own plan.

No matter from what aspect, he could not go to the graveyard now. Instead, he should calmly attend the banquet.

Just imagine, how could a noble Elder's successor condescend to go to the graveyard for lower-ranking Disciples? This in itself is the biggest suspicion.

"It's better not to have such a handle. Since there are already clues, it won't hurt to wait a little longer."

Li Tan had too many concerns and too many unanswered questions in his heart. He felt as if his path had been guided by someone.

"Although he didn't want to think about it at that level, he had to admit that the worst outcome was that his identity had already been exposed."

As his deductions progressed, the whole matter became increasingly horrifying. Only when the Heaven Sword Immortal Sect arrived would he truly be safe.

Constantly scaring himself would only make things worse.

With a flick of his finger, a Medicinal Pill wrapped in spiritual Qi flew directly towards Li Na.

"You did very well. Come with me to the banquet later."

Li Na looked at the Medicinal Pill flying towards her, as if she saw the hope of life.

Although she didn't know what the banquet meant, she had already survived, so the meaning of the banquet naturally became unimportant.

"Thank you, Young Master! This humble girl will certainly go through fire and water for Young Master, and follow your lead."

As she spoke, Li Na intentionally blinked her eyes, seemingly trying to attract Li Tan's attention. Seeing no reaction from the man in front of her, she tried stretching her body with a yawn.

Li Tan looked at Li Na in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Idiot."

And in Li Na's heart, four big words also inadvertently surfaced: "Blockhead."

The strange combination formed by these two, each with their own hidden motives, was indeed quite eye-catching.
