Chapter 69: Surveillance, Refusal to See

 When Li Mo went home at night, he suddenly found a few shrinking figures hiding in the street near his yard.

When these people saw him, they immediately turned around and left, pretending to want to leave.

But when he reached the door of his house, he suddenly returned to the street, hiding there, staring at their courtyard.

This made Li Mo think of something for a moment, and his face immediately darkened.

But after thinking for a moment, he just glanced at those people, then walked into the yard without saying a word and closed the door.

After Li Mo walked into the yard, several gangsters in the street next to the yard took a long breath.

"Phew! Brother Wolf, you scared me to death just now. The last look that guy glanced at us was so terrifying that I couldn't even breathe." A thin-faced gangster gasped.

"Who says it's not the case? I was also very frightened. It is said that that guy is a warrior at the third level of the Shedding Realm. If he really wants to attack us, we can't resist. The job that the Li family has arranged for us is really not human.

You did it." Another gangster also said.

"Okay, what are you afraid of? We just need to help the Li family keep an eye on his family, not him himself.

If his family really wants to escape, there is no need for us to take action. We can just report it directly to the Li family.

When we finish this matter, the Li family will not treat us badly.

After meeting the Li family, we will not walk sideways in Nancheng District from now on." The wolf brother said.

"Brother Wolf is right." "Brother Wolf is right."

A few of them were talking quietly below, completely unaware that a figure appeared on the wall of the courtyard next to them.

This figure is none other than Li Mo.

He had heard every detail of the conversations of several gangsters.

After confirming that this was the arrangement of the Li family, Li Mo's face was so gloomy that he could shed tears.

Immediately afterwards, his figure flashed and he left the courtyard wall silently.

He didn't touch these gangsters, otherwise it would be troublesome if they alerted the Li family.

It seems that the escape of the Bone Forging Realm member has touched the sensitive nerves of the Li family.

I just don’t know, is it only my own family that is being targeted? Or is it that the families of all domestic slave warriors are being targeted?

It seems that I have to think of a way.

......

The next morning, inside the Li family's land.

Li Sheng was practicing calligraphy in his study when suddenly a servant's voice came from outside the door.

"Clan leader, the guard reported that there is a tribe member named Li Mo outside the gate of the clan and wants to see you."

When Li Sheng heard this, his hand holding the pen couldn't help but pause slightly.

After pondering for a moment, he said calmly:

"Just say that I am very busy these days and have no time to see guests.

Also, let my second brother come to my place."

"Yes."

The servant outside the door responded and stepped back.

A moment later, Li Lifeng rushed over in a hurry.

"Brother, what do you want from me? I'm busy?"

Li Sheng said:

"The servant just announced that Li Mo came to see me, but I didn't see him."

Li Lifeng frowned when he heard this, and then sneered:

"Ha! It must be about the miner's quota, but brother, why didn't you see him?

Didn't you think highly of him before? You even gave him so many rewards at once."

Li Sheng smiled and said:

"When did I say I was optimistic about him?

If I really thought highly of him, would I still let you snatch his first-level demon slayer spot and spider silk soft armor?"

Li Lifeng stared and said:

"Brother, how do you know that I stole his spider silk soft armor? I haven't told anyone about this."

Li Sheng asked with a smile:

"Why can't I know?"

Li Lifeng looked stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he suddenly said:

"So.

Brother, did you deliberately let me know that you gave the quota to Li Mo?"

Li Sheng smiled and said:

"Otherwise, why do you think I had to choose to tell Mr. Wu about this when you were around?"

The corner of Li Lifeng's mouth twitched and he said doubtfully:

"I didn't expect you, brother, to be so insidious.

But, brother, why are you doing this? If you don’t want to give him these rewards, just tell him directly, and you won’t dare to say anything to him. Are you going in such a big circle just to tease him?"

Hearing this, Li Sheng glared at him fiercely, shook his head and said:

"Of course I'm not trying to tease him, but I think he does have some qualifications and is very likely to be promoted to the bone forging realm, so I just want to motivate him.

Think about it, there is a reward of 90,000 taels of silver waiting for him ahead, and you are forcing him behind, then will he practice hard and strive to reach the bone forging realm as soon as possible?"

Li Lifeng glared and said:

"Brother, aren't you optimistic about him?"

Li Sheng shook his head and said:

"What I like about him is his qualifications, not that I want to train him.

If you want him to reach the Bone Forging Realm, you just want him to fill the quota of a Bone Forging Realm miner.

It’s not like I don’t know that you once forced him to fight to the death, and in the end even caused him serious injury. He must have resentment towards you in his heart.

How could it be possible to really train him?

It’s just a pity that the recruitment of miners in the Scarlet Flame Mountains was suddenly advanced by a year. Otherwise, maybe the family would be able to retain one more Bone Forging Realm warrior.”

Li Lifeng was stunned when he heard this and said:

"I have always wondered before, big brother, you are not suitable to be the head of the family with such a kind temperament.

Why did the clan elders elect you at that time? It turns out that you, eldest brother, are the most insidious person."

Li Sheng's face turned dark when he heard this:

"How to talk? I'm not doing this for you and the entire family. If you didn't have a grudge against him and the family is short of manpower, wouldn't I have to spend so much effort calculating such a family slave?"

Li Lifeng heard this and said quickly:

"Brother, are you right? Do you have anything else to do?

If not, I'll leave first, I still have a lot of things to be busy with."

"Get out of here and don't bother me here. Use your brain every day if you have nothing to do. Don't just keep playing hard."

After Li Sheng finished speaking, he casually wrote the three characters "ten thousand taels" on the paper.

......

After Li Mo received Li Sheng's reply that he refused to see him, he immediately understood the meaning.

He looked up at the plaque on the door of Li's house, was silent for a moment, then turned and left.

Originally, after meeting Li Sheng, he planned to give up the 90,000 taels of rewards after being promoted to the Bone Forging Realm as a condition to see if he could avoid filling the quota for miners this time. If possible, he would also help Li Zhu and the others to beg for help.

Beg for mercy.

Now it seems that he was overthinking it, and Li Sheng might not have planned to give him the remaining 90,000 taels from the beginning.

Even what Li Lifeng did at that time was his tacit approval.

That's right, I thought it was too simple before.

Everyone knows what happened between him and Li Lifeng. As the head of the family and Li Lifeng’s brother, how could Li Sheng not know?

The two of them were able to keep him until now, probably just for this day.

Originally, he had thought about whether he should take some risks and expose his promotion to the Bone Forging Realm if it really didn't work out.

Now that I think about it, if he really did this, he would be even more dangerous.

Thinking of this, Li Mo looked up at the sky.
