I Have an Immortal Emperor Uncle Who Farms at Home Chapter 34: Dao Tian Sect

Nighttime, inside the Li family villa

"Qingyue, how has school been these past few days?"

"Same as always. What else can I say?"

Li Yanting asked gently as he picked up some food for his sweet granddaughter, Li Qingyue.

"Mm-hmm, Grandpa, that’s enough. I’m already pretty full."

"The college entrance exams are just around the corner, and you're working hard every day. Eating more is a good thing."

As he spoke, Li Yanting picked up another piece of meat and placed it in Li Qingyue’s bowl.

"But I really can’t eat this much."

Li Qingyue looked helplessly at the big bowl of food in front of her.

Li Wen, sitting nearby, couldn’t help speaking up. Even he couldn’t eat that much.

"Father, Qingyue’s a girl, not a boy. She can’t eat that much."

"Shut it! When was the last time you cared about this sweet granddaughter of mine?"

"Father, you’re the one who pushed the Li family business onto me. Now you’ve got the nerve to complain like your back doesn’t hurt?"

"You little brat! Who do you think you’re talking to? Let me tell you, if you weren’t my only son, I wouldn’t have given it to you!"

"Who wants it anyway? I’m running around all day, totally exhausted."

"You little—!"

Seeing this, Li Qingyue quickly stepped in to calm things down.

"Alright, Grandpa, you two together are over a hundred years old. Stop acting like kids."

Right after she said that, Li Wen suddenly remembered something.

"Father, did you see the news today?"

"You mean about the Lai Jian’an brothers?"

Li Wen put down his chopsticks and looked seriously at Li Yanting.

"That’s right. I also heard from a backchannel source that the Ministry of State Security was involved."

Hearing that the Lai family was raided and that it involved the Ministry of State Security, made Li Yanting start to seriously consider what was really going on behind the scenes.

"Why would someone from the Ministry of State Security come to a small place like Laiyang Town?"

"That’s exactly what’s suspicious. And I also heard that Lai Jian’an kidnapped a little girl." Li Wen paused to recall the details, then continued, "Apparently, it was Ye Fan’s niece."

Li Qingyue, who had been uninterested in the conversation until now, immediately perked up at the mention of Ye Fan.

She put down her chopsticks and instantly became intrigued.

"Ye Fan? Dad, did you just say that Ye Fan?"

Li Wen looked at Li Qingyue and replied, "Yes, that Ye Fan. Why?"

"There’s someone named Ye Fan in my class."

Li Yanting chuckled from the side, "How could there be such a coincidence?"

"Dad, you don’t know. This Ye Fan is actually the top student in our class."

As soon as she mentioned Ye Fan, there was a clear look of admiration in Li Qingyue’s eyes.

Li Yanting asked curiously, "Top student? What do you mean?"

"Dad, Grandpa, you both know my mock exam results, right? Especially math, I scored over 130."

"Yes, I know that."

"But Ye Fan scored 149, just one point short of a perfect score."

"That impressive?"

"And he did it even after missing a bunch of classes."

"If that’s true, then this Ye Fan kid is something else."

"Definitely. And he’s actually quite handsome too."

"Hahaha, Qingyue, don’t tell me you’ve got a crush on him?"

At that, a slight blush appeared on Li Qingyue’s face.

"No way… Dad, Grandpa, I’m full. I’m going back to my room to study."

After Li Qingyue left the room, the father and son both shook their heads. But instead of dwelling on Qingyue’s comment, they returned to their original discussion.

"Li Wen, is it possible to find out who mobilized the Ministry of State Security? You know they don’t act lightly."

"Father, I’ve already sent people to look into it, but there’s not a single trace. It’s clear someone erased the records behind the scenes."

"If that’s the case, then forget it. We’d better stay out of this."

"Mm."

Li Wen agreed. After all, in China, the Ministry of State Security held tremendous power, far beyond what a small town-level family like theirs could afford to provoke.

"Also, you need to look into this Ye Fan. A little girl gets kidnapped, and it brings in the Ministry of State Security? That’s not normal."

Li Wen had already considered this.

"Yes, that’s actually the next thing I was planning to investigate."

"By the way, what about Yang Hu?"

"Yang Hu has been out of town the past few days, busy with the company’s project. He’ll be back tomorrow."

"Alright. We need him to get in touch with those people as soon as possible. The sooner, the better."

"Don’t worry, Father."

……

Nighttime. On a remote mountain road, a small car was driving along.

Inside the car sat Lai Jian’an and the others who had escaped from Laiyang Town. Huang Mao was still the one driving.

Wang Scar looked nervously at the pitch-black mountains around them. With not a single light in sight, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

"Brother Jian’an, where exactly are we going?"

"Stop asking so many questions. Just follow the address Uncle Hua gave us."

Lai Jian’an then glanced at Hua Jueshan, who was sitting beside him with his eyes closed, seemingly resting, and asked in a low voice,

"Uncle Hua, are you sure this plan will work?"

Hua Jueshan slowly opened his eyes and looked ahead. He replied calmly, "Jian’an, at this point, we’ve got no other choice. We can only take a gamble."

Earlier, when they had hit rock bottom and had no idea what to do next, Hua Jueshan suggested going to Dao Tian Sect and asking his senior brothers for help.

"But… will your senior brothers really help us?"

At this question, even Hua Jueshan wasn’t sure. After all, he had already been expelled from the sect.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Hua Jueshan’s mind. He seemed to remember something and asked, "Jian’an, how much money do we have left?"

"Between my account and my brother’s, we should still have over 200,000." He then looked at Hua Jueshan with a confused expression and asked, "Why? What is it, Uncle Hua?"

"We’ll need to take out all of it when the time comes."

"All of it?"

You have to understand, this was all the money Lai Jian’an had left. If they used it all, what would they do in the future? For a moment, Lai Jian’an was clearly reluctant.

"But… what about us after that?"

"Jian’an, what’s the most important thing we need to do right now?"

"What is it?"

"Right now, it’s to take back everything that belongs to us."

To take everything back… they’d have to kill Ye Fan.

But the image of Ye Fan defeating Hua Jueshan in a single move resurfaced in Lai Jian’an’s mind and he couldn’t help but grow worried again.

"But we can’t beat that Ye Fan."

"You’re so dumb. Why do you think I’m taking you to meet my senior brothers?"

"Of course, it’s to have them get rid of Ye Fan."

"Exactly. Eliminate Ye Fan and take back what belongs to us."

"That’s right, get rid of Ye Fan!" Lai Jian’an’s eyes were full of anticipation. Then he added, "But… is this small amount of money really enough?"

"Relax, it’s enough. Based on my senior brother’s personality, I’m sure he’ll help us. Just follow my lead when we get there."

"Don’t worry, Uncle Hua."

Lai Jian’an had also heard that Hua Jueshan’s senior brother was a true Foundation Establishment expert.

As long as they could get him to step in, taking down Ye Fan would be no problem at all.

After driving for quite some time, the car finally arrived at the front gate of Dao Tian Sect.

Everyone got out, leaving Lai Jianhua, still unconscious in the car.

Wang Scar looked at the ancient, majestic sect gate and couldn’t help but marvel, "So this is what cultivators call a sect… impressive."

"To live in a place like this, they must be truly extraordinary people."

As soon as they got out, Wang Scar and Huang Mao began showering the place with compliments.

"Wait here, I’ll go knock."

Just as Hua Jueshan was about to step forward and knock on the gate, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance.

The sudden appearance, especially at night. Startled Lai Jian’an and the others.

But Hua Jueshan recognized the figure instantly.

It was none other than his eldest senior brother—Kong Molin.

Although he was no longer a disciple of the sect, Hua Jueshan still greeted him respectfully, "Senior Brother, it’s been years. I hope you’ve been well."

But Kong Molin only stared at him coldly and said, "Junior Brother Hua, you’ve got the nerve to show your face around here?"

Hua Jueshan raised his head. After a brief pause, he replied slowly, "Senior Brother, if you had been in my shoes back then… would you have made a different choice?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Kong Molin fell into silence.
