Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

Chapter 2629 It's best to avoid unnecessary movement.

"This is no small matter; don't exaggerate!"

After a brief uproar, one of the elders of the Li family spoke with a cold face.

A top-tier power has existed for countless years; how could they be wiped out so easily?

Furthermore, the Liu family has only been here for a short time. Even if someone were to start a war with them, it certainly wouldn't be over in a day or two. Right now, the city is quiet and peaceful; there's no sign of any war taking place.

Therefore, Li Yan's words as a protector did not gain their trust.

"Elders, this matter is absolutely true. Anyone in the city can testify that the Liu family has indeed been wiped out," Li Yan, the protector, said with a bitter smile.

"how can that be possible?"

Despite still finding it unbelievable, seeing the serious expression on Li Yan's face, these people couldn't help but feel uneasy.

In their view, this matter was very likely to be true, because Li Yan, the protector, had no reason to joke about such a thing.

"Hey Zhang family kid, tell me, is the Liu family really wiped out?" Someone turned their gaze to the Zhang family elder and asked.

He's someone who's been stationed here for a long time, so he must know the inside story.

"Yes!"

The elder of the Zhang family nodded and then said, "From their ancestors to women and children, without exception, their entire clan was wiped out!"

"Not a single one survived?"

Upon hearing this, the Li family members once again displayed expressions of disbelief.

How could such a powerful, top-tier force not have a single survivor?

This was something they considered completely impossible.

Even if two top-tier powers were to clash, the Liu family couldn't possibly be wiped out entirely, right?

Unless the opponent's strength far surpasses theirs.

But looking around this godforsaken place, what power is more powerful than the Liu family?

So this kind of thing is simply unbelievable to them.

"I can't guarantee whether there are any survivors, but what I can say for sure is that the Liu family has indeed been wiped out, and their stronghold has been thoroughly excavated."

"Who did it?"

"Who has that capability?"

The elder's words caused the Li family members to gasp in shock.

What kind of power could destroy a top-tier force like this?

“Your Li family members are already aware of the inside story, so I don’t think I need to explain anything further.” The elder from the Zhang family had no intention of discussing the matter in detail with them.

After all, this isn't his task, so why should he waste his time and energy on it?

"Okay, then you tell us!"

The members of the Li family all turned their attention to Li Yan, the protector.

Actually, the whole incident was not difficult to explain. Li Yan, the protector, first summarized the events in his mind before recounting them to everyone.

……

Just as Li Yan's protectors were explaining the whole story to the Li family's high-ranking members and elders, Li Yan finally caught up with Qin Fei.

"Brother Qin, don't go, listen to me." Grabbing Qin Fei's arm, Li Yan quickly explained, "It's not what you think. Our patriarch doesn't know the latest situation here, which is why he said some harsh words to you. He definitely didn't mean you any harm!"

"no offence?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fei stopped in his tracks: "The only reason he has no ill intentions towards me is because I cooperate with him. If I didn't cooperate, I think he might have tied me up and handed me over to the Liu family or the Divine Martial Sect!"

The eyes are the windows to the soul. During their conversation, Qin Fei had been paying close attention to the changes in the eyes of the Li family's patriarch. He saw something extraordinary in the other man's eyes.

Therefore, Qin Fei believed that the other party must have come to him with malicious intent.

Otherwise, why didn't he just tell Li Yan those things directly?

To put it bluntly, he only wanted to save face in front of Li Yan, and also to take care of Li Yan's feelings, which is why he did this.

Imagine being humiliated in front of Li Yan's face; no one would be happy about that.

"No, the Great Ancestor isn't that kind of person." After hearing what Qin Fei said, Li Yan immediately shook his head.

“Brother Li, he is your ancestor, not mine, so the same person we see may not be his true self. He has already warned me to keep my distance from you, so let’s keep our distance from now on,” Qin Fei said.

After all, the patriarch of the Li family is at the Dao Saint realm. If Qin Fei doesn't take the threat of such a powerful figure seriously, it will definitely cause trouble if the other party decides to kill him.

So since he told him to keep his distance from Li Yan, Qin Fei simply did as he was told.

"Brother Qin, we are brothers, and we have even risked our lives for each other. How could you listen to my ancestor's nonsense?" Li Yan was clearly anxious at this moment.

"When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Brother Li, of course I want to continue being your friend and brother, but the problem is that your family doesn't welcome me. If I continue to get close to you, they might just kill me if they're unhappy. So let's keep our distance for now!" Qin Fei said.

Seeing that Li Yan wanted to continue, Qin Fei made a shushing gesture and said, "Put yourself in my shoes. I don't want to offend any more people for the time being."

"Brother Qin, I admit that this matter was our Li family's fault. Don't worry, I have always only wanted to be your friend, not your enemy. Even if the higher-ups in my Li family don't like you, I am still your brother!"

"On behalf of the Li family, I extend my sincerest apologies to you," Li Yan said, bowing his head.

Li Yan knew that any further explanation he gave at this point would be futile, because once words are spoken, they are difficult to take back.

At this moment, he only regretted not explaining the situation to the Grand Ancestor immediately, which led to such a huge blunder.

The Great Ancestor must have said something unacceptable to Qin Fei, otherwise Qin Fei wouldn't have been so determined to leave.

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt a surge of blood and qi in his chest, and he almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

For him, what was happening now was like a heavy blow to the chest.

If he hadn't enthusiastically invited Qin Fei over before, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

At this moment, Li Yan just wanted to shove a handful of regret pills into his mouth.

“The two sides have different positions and different ways of looking at the problem. Your Li family doesn’t need my apology, and I don’t resent anyone, so go back. Your family is still waiting for you.”

After saying this, Qin Fei turned and left.

Qin Fei was inexplicably scolded by an elder of the Li family, and to be honest, he was definitely unhappy, especially since the other party said that he could not see any benefit or hope in him. Qin Fei really wanted to gouge out the other party's eyes to see if he was blind.

For such a prodigious genius like himself to say such things, isn't that just plain blind?

However, from another perspective, it is understandable that the other party did this, because they could not possibly gamble with the entire Li family.

If Qin Fei were in that position, he might have made the same choice.

Therefore, he doesn't hate the old patriarch of the Li family now; he was just doing what he was supposed to do.
