Yaoguang Fairy Path

Chapter 130 Undercurrent

The early morning sunlight shines through the exquisite window lattices into the house, giving the few people a layer of golden glow.

Li Yunxiao turned his gentle gaze towards Li Yuru and Ye Shuyao, and said slowly, "Yan'er has already told me in detail what happened last night. I know how to handle this matter, so you don't need to worry."

Ye Xirui glared at the man beside her with her beautiful eyes, then made a slight gesture to her personal maid Xiaolian. Xiaolian understood and nodded, then she led the maids out of the room quietly and closed the door gently.

Li Yunxiao was slightly stunned, and then a sly look flashed in his eyes. He put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat, and said in a teasing voice, "Give your husband some face in front of your wife and the children."

Before he finished speaking, he had already formed seals with his hands, and the room was instantly shrouded in a mysterious halo, as if isolated from the outside world.

Then, he turned to face Li Yuru and Ye Shuyao, the smile on his face gradually faded, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "Regarding what happened last night, I want to hear your opinions."

A complex emotion surged in Ye Shuyao's heart, like an undercurrent hidden beneath the calm surface of a lake.

His eyes were slightly narrowed, like a vigilant cheetah hunting in the grass, keenly capturing every subtle detail around him.

She just sat there quietly, as if isolated from the world, skillfully blocking out the sounds and sights around her. However, Ye Shuyao's ears were like radar, capturing every word and tone that might be related to the events of last night.

Ye Shuyao's thoughts raced through her mind like a fast-cut movie.

Recalling the scenes of last night, trying to find the source and motive of the incident.

Ye Shuyao's heartbeat was accelerating, but she tried to remain calm and rational, because she knew that only in this way could she find the truth in the chaos.

I was thinking: "Did someone deliberately target me with what happened last night, or was it an outbreak of internal conflict between the four major families? If someone really wanted to harm me, then they will definitely regret provoking me."

A hint of coldness flashed in Ye Shuyao's eyes, as if telling those potential enemies that she was not an opponent who could be easily defeated.

Li Yuru gently approached Li Yunxiao, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She asked softly, "Dad, have there been any obvious conflicts or contradictions between our Li family and the Murong family recently?"

Li Yunxiao looked up at his daughter, a trace of deep thought flashing in his eyes. He nodded slightly, motioning her to continue.

Li Yuru took a deep breath and spoke in a calm tone, "Father, I'm not familiar with worldly affairs, and I don't quite understand the friction between you two. But recently, I heard from my senior brother that although our four major families appear calm on the surface, there are undercurrents, and it seems that they are all secretly competing for their own interests. Although I am young, I also understand the principle that things that come together must eventually separate. Father and Mother, you must be more vigilant and cautious."

Ye Xirui, who was sitting next to her, heard her daughter's words, and a glimmer of approval flashed in her eyes. She smiled with satisfaction, but did not say much. She just nodded slightly to show her approval and support for her daughter.

Xiang Yan laughed heartily at the side, patted Li Yuru on the shoulder, and praised: "Junior sister has really grown up and understood so many truths. I am very happy for you!"

Yang Tao, who was sitting next to Li Yuru, also held her hand tightly with a warm smile on his face, as if telling her that no matter what happened, he would be by her side to support her.

Li Yunxiao looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He nodded, his voice deep and powerful, "Yes, Yu'er, you can see this clearly. I am very pleased with you."

After listening to Li Yuru's statement, Li Yunxiao turned his gaze to Ye Shuyao with a warm smile on his face: "Yao'er, you can also express your opinion."

Ye Shuyao nodded slightly, with a hint of hesitation on her fair face, as if she was not used to this new name.

She bit her lip lightly and said softly, "Shuyao doesn't know much about the affairs between the four major families, but... there is something I want to ask... um, Dad." She paused, as if to adapt to this new title.

Li Yunxiao and Ye Xirui exchanged a glance, and a glint of understanding flashed in their eyes. Ye Shuyao had just become a member of the Li family and needed time to adapt.

Li Yunxiao smiled and nodded, saying gently, "Yao'er, it's okay to continue."

Ye Shuyao stood in front of everyone. Although her voice was calm, there was a firm light in her eyes.

Then, he described in detail Murong Xue's appearance and the fact that Murong Xue claimed that her father was an elder of the Murong family.

However, when mentioning the conflict between the two parties, he chose to remain silent, simply because he did not want to involve the Li family.

Li Yunxiao was not very familiar with the conduct of the younger generation of outsiders. He frowned slightly, turned to Xiang Yan and signaled him to explain with his eyes. Xiang Yan could be said to be the think tank of the family, and he knew the affairs of the four major families like the back of his hand.

Li Yuru looked at Xiang Yan with curiosity, her eyes flashing with curiosity. She also wanted to know who this Murong Xue was and why Ye Shuyao mentioned her specifically.

Xiang Yan received everyone's questioning gazes. He coughed lightly and then slowly spoke: "According to Shu Yao's description, there is someone who fits these characteristics very well. That is Murong Xue, the daughter of the second elder of the Murong family."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Shuyao curiously again: "I wonder why you suddenly asked this, Shuyao?"

Ye Shuyao did not answer directly, her eyes became deep and cold, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

Then, he smiled and said, "Nothing."

But a barely perceptible glint of murderous intent flashed across Ye Shuyao's eyes, as if she were muttering to herself, "It seems I was too merciful by simply crippling her. Those assassins were most likely sent by the Second Elder of the Murong Family."

Seeing that Ye Shuyao didn't want to talk any more, Xiang Yan didn't ask any more questions. He knew that everyone had their own secrets and bottom lines, and they didn't want to be touched by outsiders.

Li Yunxiao looked at Ye Shuyao deeply, his eyes full of inquiry and deep thought.

It was impossible for Ye Shuyao to ask about Murong Xue for no reason. Since she was deliberately hiding it, it would be inappropriate for her to ask too much.

Perhaps Xiang Yan can investigate what the entanglement between Shuyao and Murong Xue is. He will definitely get to the bottom of the assassin's incident last night to see if it was a conspiracy of the Murong family or the other two major families were behind it.

If Murong Cheng intended to attack his own juniors, then don't blame Li Yunxiao for revenge. In this world where the four major families check and balance each other and fight openly and secretly, any slight disturbance may cause an uproar.
