Chapter 168 The Last Fig Leaf
"What a pity, it seems I won't be able to spend the tens of thousands I saved for your future wife."
Li Suwang worked tirelessly to take on orders and save money a few years ago, only to discover that the spendthrift woman was actually his own granddaughter. How mysterious that was!
"Master, you'll see how well it can be spent later," Li Jianyi said mysteriously with a smile.
Li Suwang: "???"
good good!
My family's Hanyi has already been dismembered once at the Heavenly Pavilion. Will it happen a second time?
I do not believe!
My Hanyi is not a spendthrift woman!
This must be just a coincidence!
"Yi-yi, you really don't trust Han-yi enough, do you? She's her grandfather's granddaughter. Does he not know her personality?" Li Su-wang didn't believe that Li Han-yi could make the same mistake twice.
"Then, Master, shall we wait and see?" Li Jianyi smiled confidently.
Li Suwang: "..."
do not!
Your confidence is making me a little scared!
No, I have to remind Hanyi not to dismember the body in the Heavenly Pavilion again!
His secret stash of money really won't last much longer!
"I'll go and remind Hanyi right away!" Li Suwang stood up without stopping and headed towards the Sword Pavilion.
A moment later,
Li Suwang then saw his grown-up granddaughter in Jian Ge, and noticed that she had become even more mature and beautiful.
She was a beauty even as a child! No wonder her apprentice, Li Jianyi, always had her in mind!
"Winter clothes," Li Suwang called out.
"Grandpa?" Li Hanyi looked at Li Suwang in confusion.
"Yes, come here and get warm clothes. Your grandfather has something to tell you," Li Suwang said earnestly.
"Oh." Li Hanyi walked over happily, wanting to hear what her grandfather had to say to her.
"Han Yi, sit down."
Li Suwang pointed to the chair next to him.
Li Hanyi sat down without hesitation and then looked at Li Suwang.
"Grandpa already knows about the Dengtian Pavilion incident. Hanyi, your sword strike cost a whopping 30,000 taels of silver. Even if Grandpa still has some of Yiyi's wife's dowry, it won't withstand a few of your sword strikes."
"So, Hanyi, next time someone challenges you, can you promise your grandfather not to draw your sword?" Li Suwang looked at Li Hanyi pleadingly.
Li Hanyi: "..."
Li Hanyi's face instantly turned red, and she stammered, "Grandpa...Grandpa, don't worry, I...I won't be wasteful!"
"The facts are right in front of you, Hanyi, you don't need to hide it anymore!" Li Suwang only wanted to hear a reply; he didn't want to hear any more sophistry.
"Oh! Then... then next time I won't draw my sword." Li Hanyi nodded, blushing.
She used to say she would never be a spendthrift.
As it turned out, she really was the spendthrift woman, something she never expected.
"Alright, you promised Hanyi yourself!" Li Suwang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing this strange conversation, Li Xinyue asked in confusion, "Father, why are you saying these things to Hanyi?"
"Xin Yue, you can see for yourself."
Li Suwang tossed the letter from Baixiaotang to Li Xinyue.
Li Xinyue took it and was instantly stunned!
Just like when Li Suwang first saw the contents of the letter!
"A shocking secret!"
"Who still remembers what Li Jianyi, the successor of the Sword Heart Tomb, said back then? He said he liked spendthrift women!"
It is said that this matter caused Li Zhongzhu a great deal of worry at the time!
But who could have imagined that today, Song Yan, an elder of Wushuang City, would challenge Li Hanyi, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal of Snow Moon City, and Li Hanyi would dismember Dengtian Pavilion with a single sword strike!
The repair cost for Dengtian Pavilion is tens of thousands of taels!
Doesn't this just prove what Young Master Li of the Sword Heart Tomb said back then: "I like spendthrift women who can spend tens of thousands of taels of real gold with a single sword strike?"
Once the news of Bai Xiaotang spread, the entire martial arts world was filled with dread!
When Li Jianyi said these words, it must have been at least five or six years since Li Hanyi dismembered Dengtian Pavilion with a single sword strike.
Someone who can predict events five or six years into the future—how extraordinary must Li Jianyi be?!
Even Lu Suzhen, the head of Qingcheng Mountain, couldn't do such precise calculations!
After reading the letter, Li Xinyue couldn't help but glance at her obedient daughter, Li Hanyi, and then at Li Jianyi, who had followed Li Suwang into the Sword Pavilion.
good good!
A daughter! A junior brother and nephew! Neither of them are easy to deal with!
My daughter is such a spendthrift!
My junior brother and nephew had their eyes on my daughter since they were kids!
No wonder she always calls me "Aunt Li" instead of "Senior Sister" when she sees me!
You were already planning everything back then, weren't you?
You, Aunt Li, I thought your childhood gluttony was just childish, but it turns out you deliberately revealed it to get my winter clothes, didn't you?!
"call--!"
After absorbing so many shocking revelations, Li Xinyue took a deep breath.
"Yi-yi, Han-yi, you two really surprised your mother!" Li Xin-yue looked at Li Jian-yi and Li Han-yi and felt a sense of disbelief.
My daughter, who should never be so wasteful, has gone too far!
Li Jianyi, who should have been childlike as a child, was actually incredibly cunning and scheming!
So it turns out that her daughter Hanyi was genuinely emotional when she was little?
You old bastard, you came here purely to pick up girls?!
"Mother..." Li Hanyi blushed and acted coquettishly.
"Still shy? Remember your grandfather's words, don't draw your sword when you spar with others in the future!"
"If it's murder, that's another story!" Li Xinyue lectured her impatiently.
Whose daughter could knock out tens of thousands of taels of real gold with a single sword strike?!
"Mother... I didn't mean to, I promise I won't do it again!" Li Hanyi quickly promised, her pretty face flushed.
"Hmph! Hanyi, you want a next time, don't you?" Li Xinyue narrowed her eyes.
"No... I wouldn't dare..." Li Hanyi shook her head weakly.
"Hmph! That's more like it. Next up is you, Yi Yi!" Li Xinyue looked at Li Jianyi, who was standing to the side.
"Tell me, when we were little, did you deliberately call me Aunt Li instead of Senior Sister?" Li Xinyue squinted her eyes. No wonder Li Hanyi liked to squint his eyes so much; it turned out he learned it all from his mother-in-law.
"Yes!" Li Jianyi nodded.
"Good, good, good! Yi-yi, you've really impressed your Aunt Li!" Li Xinyue had received the final answer and could only say "good" repeatedly.
As for the rest, what could she say?
He really became her son-in-law on February 26th!
The rice is already half-cooked, what else can she do?
"It's just that my plan was slightly more elaborate than Father's back then when he tried to seduce Mother," Li Jianyi said with an embarrassed smile.
"It's just a bit more meticulous than Lei Meng's plan to kill that idiot?"
"Yi-yi, don't try to impress your simple-minded father. He's just a straightforward flirt! He's nowhere near as clever as you!" Li Xinyue rolled her eyes at Li Jianyi, who had been eyeing her daughter since childhood.
"Mother, you flatter me! You flatter me!" Li Jianyi became even more embarrassed after being exposed.
"Hmph! If I had known about this back then, I would have given you a good beating, just like I did with Xiao Jie!"
"But forget about it now. Just live a good life with Hanyi from now on." Li Xinyue thought about the upcoming wedding day of the two little ones and couldn't be bothered to settle old scores.
"Okay!" Li Jianyi nodded obediently.
