52: Farewell dinner! Grandpa's instructions!

Li Shengyuan immediately couldn't help but laugh, pinching Little Fatty's chubby face and saying, "You little glutton, you'll never get tired of eating it, will you?"

"Mm-hmm, bunnies are cute and delicious, Tangtang loves them the most," Li Ruotang said, licking the corner of her mouth.

"Good, then I'll buy enough for you to eat!"

Sitting down in the pavilion in the courtyard, Li Shengyuan picked up his little sister Li Ruotang and placed her on a stone stool nearby.

At this moment, Li Xinghe excitedly said, "Big Brother, these past few days, I've done as you said and severely taught a lesson to those guys who were slandering me behind my back. Now, no one dares to mention Liu Xiu's matter anymore!"

Li Shengyuan smiled, looking at his younger brother, who was incredibly excited after using violence to solve a problem for the first time.

He said with deep eyes, "In this world, the fist is the hard truth. As long as you are strong enough, you can ignore everything, and others will fear you!"

"Mm, Big Brother, I understand. I will definitely cultivate diligently!"

Li Xinghe nodded firmly, the seed of becoming a strong person buried deeper and deeper in his heart.

Shen Xinrong, who was on the side, rolled her eyes at Li Shengyuan and chided, "You, what nonsense are you spouting? Don't lead the child astray."

Li Shengyuan, however, calmly said, "I'd rather he bullied others and I had to clean up his mess than have him be bullied by others!"

Shen Xinrong was immediately speechless because she also felt that what Li Shengyuan said made a lot of sense!

Hadn't her Shen family been bullied, and then everyone was gone? Even if she found her enemies now and retaliated fiercely, it wouldn't change anything.

What was lost would ultimately not return.

So, the best solution was to nip all threats in the bud.

"Big Brother, I've also arranged to have dinner and practice with a few brothers. I wish you a smooth journey in advance; I'll be leaving now!" Li Xinghe came here just to bid farewell to Big Brother.

Now, he yearned to become stronger, to become a respected strong person like Big Brother!

"Mm, go. Come back early. Cultivation is good, but don't overdo it. You're still young, so you can't overexert your body too much. A balance between work and rest is the way to go," Li Shengyuan instructed.

Then, he looked deeply at Li Xinghe and said in a tone only the two of them understood, "But you can't be too relaxed either. Those few times you took me to watch those things, they're not good for you right now. There will be plenty of opportunities when you're a few years older."

Li Xinghe, who was originally excited, suddenly stiffened, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

He twisted his stiff neck, looked at his Big Brother, who had a meaningful expression, and felt incredibly nervous.

Big Brother knew about him watching that stuff at Sun Xing's house?

That's right... Big Brother went down that day too, so he must have known.

He felt a little relieved that Big Brother hadn't told Grandpa and the others.

Then tonight...

Big Brother only said to watch less, not that he couldn't watch at all!

Li Xinghe could only force a smile and say, "I understand, Big Brother. I definitely won't do it again in the future."

After speaking, at Li Shengyuan's nod, Li Xinghe fled in a hurry.

Shen Xinrong, sitting nearby, asked curiously, "Shengyuan, what were you talking about with Xinghe? Watch less of what?"

"Nothing, just some small programs those little friends watch," Li Shengyuan said with a calm expression.

"I was afraid Xinghe would become obsessed with trivial things, so I just reminded him."

"That certainly needs to be said," Shen Xinrong nodded.

Then she looked at Li Shengyuan, who was drinking spiritual tea, with some suspicion, always feeling that something was off. These two brothers were hiding something from her!

Shen Xinrong trusted her keen sixth sense very much.

Li Shengyuan also interjected at this moment, "It's getting late. Shouldn't we have dinner? It's perfect to have dinner with Tangtang; it's like she's seeing us off!"

Shen Xinrong indeed put it out of her mind and said with a smile, "Uncle Li already had the food prepared. We were just waiting for you to come out. Let's go quickly, Tangtang must be starving."

After speaking, Shen Xinrong imitated Li Shengyuan and kneaded Li Ruotang's chubby little face a few times.

And indeed, this little face was quite easy to knead. Shen Xinrong strongly suspected that Little Fatty's face had been kneaded round by Li Shengyuan.

At such a young age, if you knead it a couple of times every time you meet, even the sharpest melon seed face couldn't withstand it!

Li Shengyuan also smiled and asked his little sister, "Tangtang, you've waited for Big Brother for so long, are you hungry?"

Li Ruotang shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"Tangtang wants to wait for Big Brother, not hungry at all!"

"Good sister, Big Brother didn't dote on you for nothing!" Li Shengyuan's face was full of smiles.

He directly picked up Li Ruotang and said with a smile, "Tell Big Brother what you want to eat, and I guarantee I'll satisfy you!"

Li Ruotang's eyes immediately lit up, and she swallowed, saying, "Tangtang wants spicy rabbit head!"

"No problem!"

Shen Xinrong followed behind the siblings with a gentle smile.

Many times, men are actually very easy to coax.

When they arrived at the large dining hall in the front courtyard, the dining table was already filled with various delicacies, making Little Fatty in his arms stare wide-eyed and drool.

Li Cangsheng smiled slightly at the three, "You're all here, then take your seats!"

As for the disappeared Li Xinghe, he didn't even ask; the wild boy was used to being crazy, so he couldn't be bothered with him.

"Okay, Grandpa (Uncle Li)!"

Li Shengyuan and Shen Xinrong responded in unison. Li Cangsheng glanced at the two of them and said nothing more.

He placed Little Fatty beside him to sit down. As a family dinner, the Li family didn't have so many rules.

After Li Cangsheng said to start eating, Little Fatty eagerly began to gobble down her food.

There happened to be spicy rabbit heads on the table, and Li Shengyuan put one in her bowl, fulfilling his promise.

At this moment, Li Cangsheng instructed Shen Xinrong, "Xinrong, tomorrow you will go with Shengyuan. I'll trouble you to take good care of him."

Shen Xinrong smiled and nodded in response, "Don't worry, Uncle Li, I've always treated Shengyuan like my own child. I definitely won't let anything happen to him!"

Li Shengyuan, upon hearing this, rolled his eyes, "Grandpa, Aunt Shen, I'm a Fourth-Rank official, at least, and this time I'm even the Minister of Bandit Suppression personally appointed by His Majesty. How am I still like a child in your eyes?"

After speaking, Li Shengyuan secretly glared at Shen Xinrong.

Oh, you, Aunt Shen, dare to take advantage of me. I'll make you pay later!

At this moment, Li Ruotang, who was vigorously gnawing on a rabbit head, said softly, "Big Brother... so fragrant. Tangtang is also a child... you can't look down on children!"

Li Ruotang's words immediately made the three of them burst into laughter.

Li Cangsheng continued with a smile, "Your parents are both in the Northern Frontier. Although they have to guard the border, remember to ask them for help if you encounter trouble."

"That's for sure. They're my biological parents; I definitely won't be embarrassed."

In fact, Li Shengyuan had no intention of troubling his parents. His main goal was to exhaust the Yan King's troops!

His parents' people were his people. If one or two great generals were lost, he would feel heartache.

Li Cangsheng then instructed Li Shengyuan on some minor details, reminded him of how to conduct himself in society, and also introduced him to the Yan King.

He told him to understand how to kill with a borrowed knife!

This idea was very consistent with Li Shengyuan's; they were truly grandfather and grandson!

Li Shengyuan listened with extreme seriousness. For his grandfather, as Chief Assistant, to listen to his teachings and be his student was something countless people dreamed of.
