"Hey, I'm here! What's up?"
"Actually, there's nothing much. You came out so quickly just to confirm something."
Li Rui frowned slightly; the crazy old man usually didn't speak like this! There must be something fishy going on in this situation.
"Really nothing? Then I'm leaving." Li Rui deliberately said this and immediately turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute."
Li Rui knew it; someone who never comes without a reason would say something like this. It was truly surprising.
"I have a niece in Taiping Town. Could you bring her over?"
Li Rui awkwardly smiled, surprised that such a thing existed. Why did this old man suddenly want to bring his niece over? Li Rui didn't quite understand family matters, and besides, he didn't have anything pressing at the moment.
After the crazy old man's reminder, Li Rui realized he should settle some accounts. It had been weighing on his mind, making it hard to sleep soundly.
Li Rui nodded repeatedly; he had taken a month off all at once, which made the crazy old man's expression not so good. The current Helmsman suddenly disappearing for a month was a bit...
Li Rui took the address of the old man's niece and hurried to Ruo Xin's cultivation place. Whether it was the elders or the students present, they all called out "Helmsman" upon seeing him.
Many understood that Li Rui was here for Ruo Xin.
"Hey! I'm going out for a while; I should be back in about ten months!"
Ruo Xin glanced at Li Rui and then continued to practice her swordsmanship, not paying him any mind. Meanwhile, Li Rui felt very frustrated; he couldn't possibly tell her about his plans for revenge! Besides, the Feng family was large and powerful; he had no idea what the outcome of his visit would be.
"I'll be back soon. Wait for me; when I return, we'll see how things go." Li Rui shook his head slightly and said.
Ruo Xin's heart trembled slightly for some unknown reason as she suddenly felt that the distance between her and Li Rui seemed to be growing further apart.
She also understood that this guy was growing at an incredible speed, far beyond what normal people could compare to. She didn't know when it started, but it seemed that there was a kind of... kingly aura emanating from Li Rui's body, even though he was only at the fifth level of Cleansing the Marrow.
"What? He has reached the fifth level of Cleansing the Marrow!" Ruo Xin exclaimed, stumbling backward in disbelief, her mouth agape as she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.
Li Rui had just left the Tai Xuan Sect when he felt an unsettling sensation of being watched. However, given his current condition, he couldn't activate his clairvoyance; his previous injuries had yet to heal, so he couldn't afford to do that.
After leaving the Tai Xuan Sect, Li Rui arrived at a dense forest. The sound of rustling leaves made him furrow his brow.
"Friend, it's not very wise to be a sneaky little mouse!" Li Rui said with a smile.
But no one answered him. Little did he know, in the next moment, a deep green leaf suddenly appeared in front of him. He quickly dodged; otherwise, he wouldn't be standing there now.
This leaf was indeed from that area, and the force behind it was not something an ordinary person could achieve. He realized he needed to resolve the situation quickly; otherwise, things would only get more troublesome.
Li Rui then drew his Water Fire Staff from his back and assumed a defensive stance. He slightly closed his eyes and had no choice but to activate his clairvoyance. In this situation where the enemy was hidden and he was exposed, he needed to resolve it as quickly as possible.
It seemed that in the next moment, Li Rui saw something. Someone was able to conceal themselves within the trees and control their true energy to flow outward. The true energy formed a thin line that pulled something out, just like the leaf moments ago.
If Li Rui guessed correctly, this was a form of puppet technique. Fortunately, the person's mobility was limited.
In less than a moment, Li Rui charged forward, gripping the Water Fire Staff tightly and striking fiercely at a tree. A loud "boom" echoed as the opponent didn't even realize how Li Rui had attacked or discovered him before meeting his end.
Li Rui couldn't help but sigh; he had finally dealt with his tail. It seemed that while walking earlier, he had slowed down a bit. According to what the Elder had said, there were still quite a few bandits around, so he needed to be cautious when going out.
He hadn't expected to encounter someone wanting to rob him right after stepping outside, and it turned out that the unfortunate one wasn't just himself.
Li Rui continued on his journey. After ascending to the Cleansing Realm, he noticed that his speed had increased significantly. Previously, it would take him two hours to reach Tai Ping Town from there.
Now, he arrived outside the town walls in just half an hour.
Li Rui didn't want anyone to recognize him, so he found some straw along the way and casually wove it into a Straw Hat.
He wasn't in a hurry to enter the town; first, he wanted to find a teahouse to gather information about recent events.
After walking just a few steps, he was surprised to find that the ten-year-old Salt Tea House was still in business. It seemed that Li Rui's actions today were yielding some results.
"Second brother, give me a pot of tea."
"Sure thing! Coming right up; please wait a moment."
After a while, Shop Two came over holding a pot of tea.
"Second Brother, what is Taiping Town like now?"
Seeing Shop Two's gestures, Li Rui immediately understood what was about to happen. He took a piece of broken silver from the bag he received from Grand Elder and handed it to Shop Two.
"Guest, looking at you, it seems this is your first time in our Taiping Town. You may not know! This place can't compare to the bustling outside world, but once you go in, it’s like settling down and starting a family. Moreover, among Taiping Town, the Feng Family is the most powerful. Would you like me to introduce you to them?"
Li Rui smiled awkwardly. Having lived here for many years, he was well aware of the situation. In fact, his own Li Family was one of the top families; the Feng Family was merely there to do menial work for him. Little did they know how inflated their reputation was.
"I'm asking about the current situation, not who is who inside," Li Rui replied repeatedly, ignoring Shop Two's words and continuing to sip his tea.
"Right now? It's okay, everything is pretty much the same as before, except that the Li Family has been replaced by the Feng Family."
Li Rui had already anticipated this outcome and was not surprised. Noticing that the color had darkened outside, he knew tonight was a good opportunity. He casually tossed a few pieces of broken silver onto the table and left.
