“Missing? What is going on?” Li Feng’s face froze for a moment. He looked at Li Zhengxiang with some confusion. If it were someone else, that would be one thing, but this person was Yuan Muyun. Although Yuan Muyun was Li Zhengxiang’s wife, she was just an ordinary person. Moreover, in order to take care of Li Xinyu, Yuan Muyun usually did not even work and stayed at home all year round. She would not offend anyone at all.
Could it be because of Li Zhengxiang?
Li Feng thought about it. That was possible. After all, Li Zhengxiang was the fourth master of the Li family and had offended quite a few people back in the day.
“Normally, Muyun would have been home two hours ago, but today she still has not returned. I called you but could not get through, so I came over to have a look. Now that Muyun is not at Tianya Pavilion, she has definitely gone missing.” Li Zhengxiang replied.
Li Feng glanced back at Li Xinyu, who was cultivating, and said to Li Zhengxiang, “Fourth Uncle, Xinyu is cultivating right now. Let us talk somewhere else.”
“Alright.” Only then did Li Zhengxiang notice that Li Xinyu was cultivating in the room. He quickly nodded. Originally, he had been blaming Li Feng in his heart for not answering his phone, but seeing this scene, his unhappiness vanished completely.
After bringing Li Zhengxiang to the adjacent lounge, Li Feng finally asked, “Fourth Uncle, is Fourth Aunt’s phone unreachable?”
Li Zhengxiang shook his head. “I was worried that Muyun and I might have missed each other on the road, so after arriving at Tianya Pavilion just now, I called home, but Muyun still has not returned.”
“Fourth Uncle, do not worry. There are surveillance cameras from Tianya Pavilion to your home. Wait a moment, Fourth Uncle. I will arrange for someone to check the footage.” Li Feng said.
“Ah, how did I not think of that? Li Feng, I can handle this myself.” Li Zhengxiang slapped his forehead and quickly took out his phone to make a call.
Li Feng looked at Li Zhengxiang and smiled. Although he did not know Li Zhengxiang’s exact personality, in this regard, Li Zhengxiang really was a good man.
“Li Feng, how is Xinyu’s condition now?” Li Zhengxiang put down his phone and asked Li Feng. Checking surveillance footage could not be done with just one phone call. It would take time, so Li Zhengxiang wanted to use this period to ask about Li Xinyu’s situation.
“Xinyu’s condition is very good.” Li Feng looked at Li Zhengxiang. He felt a little hesitant in his heart. Should he tell Li Zhengxiang about Li Xinyu going to Dark Prison Island or not?
“That is good, that is good.” Li Zhengxiang let out a sigh of relief. Li Xinyu was his greatest worry. If Li Xinyu could recover, he would be willing to pay any price.
“Fourth Uncle, do you know about the King of Fighters Championship in a few days?” Li Feng asked tentatively.
“I know. It is the one to compete for the Nine Dragon Jade.” Li Zhengxiang nodded, then looked at Li Feng with some confusion, not understanding why Li Feng was asking this.
“Then how much does Fourth Uncle know about the King of Fighters Championship?” Li Feng continued to ask.
“The King of Fighters Championship? Li Feng, why are you asking about this? Do you want to participate in the King of Fighters Championship?” Li Zhengxiang looked at Li Feng with some surprise.
Li Feng nodded.
“Li Feng, that is impossible. Our Li family’s representative is Li Wu. This was jointly decided by Big Brother and the Elder Council. Even if you want to participate in the King of Fighters Championship, even if Big Brother agrees, the Elder Council will not agree.” Li Zhengxiang shook his head, not optimistic about Li Feng.
Li Zhengxiang knew very well why the family had chosen Li Wu to represent the Li family in the King of Fighters Championship. At that time, Li Feng had not yet shown such outstanding performance. Otherwise, Li Feng would very likely have been the candidate.
But after thinking about it, Li Zhengxiang still felt it was impossible. In the family’s Elder Council, most people clearly stood on Li Xiangyang’s side. Even with Li Chuanwei’s support, Li Feng probably could not surpass Li Wu to become the Li family’s representative.
“I will participate in the King of Fighters Championship, but not as a representative of the Li family.” Li Feng shook his head and said.
“What do you mean?” Li Zhengxiang was stunned.
“I only represent myself.” Li Feng replied.
“Represent yourself?” Li Zhengxiang looked at Li Feng. He gradually reacted and looked at Li Feng in shock. “Li Feng, you want to represent yourself in the King of Fighters Championship? This, this, do you know what that means? Are you planning to leave the family?”
Li Feng’s strength was becoming clearer to Li Zhengxiang, but precisely because he understood it, he worried that Li Feng might leave the family. This would not only be a loss for the Li family but also for Li Feng himself.
As one of the eight top families, the Li family had many secrets. Even Li Zhengxiang only knew a little. If Li Feng wanted to become stronger, he could not do without the Li family’s support. And if the Li family wanted to rise again, it needed someone like Li Feng.
“Fourth Uncle, what are you saying? Me representing myself in the King of Fighters Championship does not mean I need to leave the family. Moreover, this time in the King of Fighters Championship, quite a few independent cultivators are participating.” Li Feng smiled and shook his head. There were many things in the Li family that he wanted, so he would not really leave the Li family.
Besides, a big tree provides good shade. He had offended so many people. With the Li family’s signboard, it would make many people wary. He himself was not afraid of anyone, but the people around him were different.
“So you have an invitation letter for the King of Fighters Championship?” Li Zhengxiang realised.
“That is right. So I wanted to ask Fourth Uncle how much you know about the King of Fighters Championship.” Li Feng asked.
“I heard that the King of Fighters Championship is held on Dark Prison Island. That place is extremely dangerous. Li Feng, if possible, I do not want you to participate in this King of Fighters Championship.” Li Zhengxiang’s expression became somewhat serious.
“Why?” Li Feng’s heart tightened. Originally, he had thought Li Zhengxiang did not know about the King of Fighters Championship. In that case, if he took Li Xinyu to participate, Li Zhengxiang would not oppose it if he did not know the details. But if Li Zhengxiang knew how dangerous the King of Fighters Championship was, it would probably be impossible to get his approval for Li Xinyu to participate.
Would he really have to act first and report later?
“Li Feng, this time Li Wu is participating in the King of Fighters Championship. He is not only bringing family experts but also people from his master’s sect, so the danger is much lower. But you are different. You are going alone. Participating in the King of Fighters Championship would be nine chances of death and one chance of survival.” Li Zhengxiang said gravely.
Li Feng fell silent. Of course, he was not scared by Li Zhengxiang’s words about nine chances of death and one chance of survival. He just felt that since Li Zhengxiang had even said “nine chances of death and one chance of survival”, he would definitely not agree to let Li Xinyu participate in the King of Fighters Championship. It seemed that to get Li Xinyu to participate, he would have to act first and report later.
Of course, Li Feng also knew the risks of acting first and reporting later. Even if he brought Li Xinyu back safely from Dark Prison Island, Li Zhengxiang probably would not let him off.
If he could not bring Li Xinyu back safely, then no matter how furious Li Zhengxiang became, it would be useless, because he would protect Li Xinyu with his own life. If something happened to Li Xinyu, he would have met disaster long ago.
Ding!
At that moment, Li Zhengxiang’s phone rang.
Li Zhengxiang answered the call, and his expression immediately became grave.
“Li Feng, your fourth aunt may have been kidnapped by someone.” Li Zhengxiang said to Li Feng in a deep voice.
“Kidnapped?” Li Feng was stunned. His gaze fixed on Li Zhengxiang as he asked, “Fourth Uncle, are you sure Fourth Aunt was kidnapped?”
“Yes. Just now, one of my friends called and said that after Muyun left Tianya Pavilion, she disappeared near that intersection ahead. That intersection is a surveillance blind spot, so the cameras could not capture anything.” Li Zhengxiang said gravely.
Li Feng’s expression changed. “Fourth Uncle, do you think Fourth Aunt might have taken a small path?”
“Impossible.” Li Zhengxiang said firmly. “I know your fourth aunt’s habits very well. She would never take those small paths. Even if she did, she should be home by now.”
Li Feng fell silent. Just as Li Zhengxiang said, if she had taken a small path, Yuan Muyun should already be home by now. But she had not returned. The only possibility was what Li Zhengxiang said. Yuan Muyun had been kidnapped.
But who had kidnapped Yuan Muyun? What was their purpose?
Robbery?
Yuan Muyun usually dressed very ordinarily and did not look like a wealthy madam at all.
Lust?
Although Yuan Muyun was middle-aged, she still had some charm. It was not impossible for some lustful fiends to take a fancy to her. But how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Apart from that, the only possibility was because of Li Zhengxiang. After all, Li Zhengxiang was the fourth master of the Li family.
“Fourth Uncle, do not worry. If it really is a kidnapping, Fourth Aunt will definitely be fine for now. I will immediately give orders to search for her.” Li Feng said.
“Alright, then I will trouble you.” Li Zhengxiang nodded. He knew Li Feng’s strength in Tianhai City. Among the Li family members in Tianhai City, no one could match Li Feng’s influence.
Li Feng glanced at Mu Jiajia. Mu Jiajia understood and left the lounge.
“Fourth Uncle, if Fourth Aunt was kidnapped, it might be because of you. Think about who you have offended recently.” Seeing Li Zhengxiang looking anxious and restless, Li Feng could not help but speak up.
“I…” Li Zhengxiang was stunned. He was about to say that he had not offended anyone in Tianhai City. If he had offended anyone, it would only be Li Feng. But after thinking about it, that was impossible. Li Feng had no reason to kidnap Yuan Muyun.
Thinking of this, Li Zhengxiang fell into deep thought.
Li Feng was also wondering what had happened to Yuan Muyun’s disappearance. After all, Yuan Muyun was Li Xinyu’s mother. She had no schemes like others and was just an ordinary person who only cared about Li Xinyu. So Li Feng had a very good impression of Yuan Muyun.
Bang!
At that moment, the door was pushed open. Then Mu Jiajia walked in with a strange expression on her face. “Young Master Feng, Fourth Madam (Yuan Muyun) is currently with Li Wu.”
