Chapter 429 Analysis of Li Hua's Situation

Chen Xiner analyzed calmly: "I also find it very strange. General Li has made contributions on the front line. Logically, he should be a hero famous in Lingyuan City, but people here don't know him. They only know that people with the surname Li should be in the Li family, and I haven't heard of anyone else with the same surname here." There was a hint of sharpness in her eyes. She crossed her hands in front of her chest, tapping her arms lightly with her fingers, as if sorting out the clues in her mind.

Xu Tian took a deep breath and recounted everything that had happened at the Li residence. His voice, sometimes deep, sometimes passionate, vividly described the clashes with Li Zhe, Li Mo, and the others, as well as the clues he had gathered from them. Chen Xiner and Chen Yu listened quietly, their expressions shifting as Xu Tian recounted his story, sometimes surprised, sometimes angry, sometimes pensive.

After listening to this, Chen Xiner immediately came to the conclusion: "General Li should have retired and returned to Lingyuan City after giving all his cultivation to Lin Feng at the front line. In theory, General Li should have been welcomed with great fanfare, but it is very likely that they received the news in advance and learned that General Li had no cultivation at all, so they forced General Li out of the Li family. General Li must have had no choice but to live in Moyan Village." There was a hint of certainty in her eyes, and her voice was firm and confident, as if she had found the key to the matter.

After hearing this, Xu Tian and Chen Yu both agreed that Chen Xiner's analysis made perfect sense. Xu Tian's heart surged with intense anger. He abruptly stood up, clenched his fists, and shouted, "How dare the Li family treat General Li like this! He's a hero on the front lines, how could he be trampled upon like this! I'm going to the Li family now and demand an explanation!" His voice was hoarse with anger, his eyes burning with rage, and his body trembled slightly, like a volcano about to erupt.

Seeing this, Chen Xiner hurriedly stood up and stopped Xu Tian, ​​saying, "Xu Tian, ​​calm down first. Although we don't have to be afraid of the Li family's strength, they must have already had the means to deal with it. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. You have already gone to the Li family to make trouble once today, and they must be on guard. If you go now, I'm afraid you will be a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth." Her eyes were full of worry and anxiety, and she held Xu Tian's arms tightly with both hands, trying to calm him down.

Chen Yu also stepped forward and persuaded, "Xu Tian, ​​Xin'er is right. We can't be impulsive now. Let's wait for Lin Feng to come first, and then we can make a long-term plan." His voice was steady and firm, and there was a hint of rationality in his eyes. He gently patted Xu Tian's shoulder, giving him a little comfort.

Xu Tian looked at Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu, took a deep breath, and then slowly sat down. He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, trying to calm himself down. The bitterness of the tea spread in his mouth, and his heart was filled with helplessness and unwillingness.

The atmosphere in the inn was heavy and oppressive. Xu Tian's heart was still filled with anger, but he also understood that Chen Xiner and Chen Yu's words made sense. He secretly vowed to seek justice for General Li Hua and make the Li family pay for their actions.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps shattered the silence within the room. The door was gently pushed open, and a man dressed as a servant of the Li family walked in. He wore a humble smile, but his eyes revealed a subtle nervousness.

The servant quickly bowed and said, "Sir, my master has heard about what happened today and feels deeply guilty. He has specially sent me here to apologize to you." As he spoke, he pulled out an exquisite cloth bag from his bosom and handed it to you with both hands, "This is a small gift from my master, one hundred black crystal coins, as a token of apology.

Xu Tian was slightly taken aback, feeling a little surprised. He looked at Chen Xiner and Chen Yu, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take the bag.

"In addition, my master has invited you and two friends to visit the Li family tomorrow to reminisce about friendship," the servant continued. "My master also deeply understands his guilt towards General Li Hua and has decided to send someone to bring General Li back to his residence on a chosen day to take good care of him."

Xu Tian's face showed a hint of joy, and the anger in his heart also subsided a little. He was about to agree when Chen Xiner gently pulled the corner of his clothes.

Chen Xiner stood up and said to the Li family servants with a smile: "Go back and tell your master that there is no need to hold a banquet to apologize. It will not be too late to bring us over when General Li is really brought back. Moreover, General Li must be welcomed back to the mansion with drums and gongs, so that everyone in the city will know about General Li's achievements and glory." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but with a hint of unquestionable firmness.

The servant looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Yes, I will definitely tell the master of the house what the young lady said."

After the Li family's servants left, Xu Tian looked at Chen Xiner with some confusion: "Xiner, the Li family is so sincere, could they be playing any tricks?" His eyes revealed a hint of confusion and worry, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

Chen Xiner shook her head slightly and said solemnly: "Xu Tian, ​​I think the Li family has lost face because of what you did today. Given the style of a big family, they will never swallow this anger easily. I'm afraid this invitation is not that simple. It is very likely a trap, waiting for you to fall into it." There was a vigilant light in her eyes, and her hands were clasped together tightly, showing her inner uneasiness.

Chen Yu listened from the side and opened his mouth in surprise: "Xin'er, are you saying that the Li family will harm Xu Tian? What should we do?" There was a hint of panic in his voice, his eyes were full of worry about Xu Tian, ​​and his body leaned forward unconsciously.

Xu Tian's face became solemn. He looked at Chen Xiner and asked, "Then what should we do? We can't just sit there and wait for death." There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously. He secretly regretted that he almost accepted the Li family's invitation so easily.

Chen Xiner pondered for a moment, raised her head and said firmly: "Let's wait for Lin Feng to come. Lin Feng is resourceful and powerful. With him around, our chances of winning will be much greater." Her eyes revealed her trust and expectation in Lin Feng, as if all problems could be solved as soon as Lin Feng appeared.

Xu Tian frowned slightly and said with some concern: "But if they want to attack us, Lin Feng will be in danger if he comes. After all, this is the Li family's territory, they might have some conspiracy." There was a hint of worry in his eyes, and various possible dangerous scenes emerged in his mind, making him even more uneasy.
