Chapter 85
  At the banquet, although Liu Ai and Chen Li were children, they sat at the same table with other masters, and no one would treat them as children.

As they ate, everyone in the Liu family was surprised by the maturity and stability shown in Chen Li's words and deeds. Not only was he a swordsman genius, but he also had such a calm personality. If nothing unexpected happens, humanity will definitely have a strong swordsman in the future.

As for the strong ones at the level of Jianxin, the Liu family does not yet have them.

So, Liu Qianqiu, who had been discussing with Liu Wanyuan for a long time last night, revealed the result of their discussion while laughing and chatting——

That is to let Chen Li and Liu Ai get engaged, and the marriage will be held when they are both sixteen years old.

"engagement?!"

Chen Li and Liu Ai looked at each other with astonishment in each other's eyes. They obviously did not expect Liu Wanyuan and Liu Qianqiu to come to this incident.

Liu Ai did not respond immediately, pretending to be shy and lowering his head to eat, but in fact he was observing Chen Li's reaction.

For her who only wants revenge, it doesn't really matter whether she has a partner in the future, and she has never considered it. Therefore, if her father has arrangements, then she will naturally listen to her father's words.

Moreover, the opponent is a genius like Chen Li.

She originally wanted to practice with him and become stronger. It seemed good if she could get engaged and become a partner.

Thinking like this, Liu Ai was a little moved.

But Chen Li decisively refused.

As for the reason, it was that he had just met Liu Ai for a day, so it was really inappropriate to talk about marriage so soon.

However, this reason is only told to outsiders.

How could he become a partner with Liu Ai?
  She is his sister! Even though they have nothing to do with each other in this dream world, Liu Ai now looks exactly the same as ten-year-old Liu Ai in the real world, both in appearance and personality.

She is just a sister, so I can only apologize.

Liu Qianqiu was not surprised when Liu Ai refused, and went on to talk about many benefits.

For example, he can get all the resources of the Liu family for training, and it is Liu Ai who marries into the Liu family with him instead of him, and so on.

However, Chen Li still firmly refused.

Seeing Chen Li's decisive refusal, Liu Ai remained calm, but actually felt a little angry inside.

Why?

She's not an ugly person, is she? Is there any need to regard her as a scourge?
  Liu Ai couldn't help but feel frustrated.

"but……"

Chen Li didn't say anything. He also wanted to keep an eye on Liu Ai and prevent her from getting into trouble, so he said, "I can't be a partner, but I am willing to become a brother and sister with her."

"Brother and sister?"

Liu Qianqiu was stunned for a moment. Originally, he thought that Chen Li's refusal was just because he and Liu Ai hadn't been together long enough, and he wanted to wait a while to mention their marriage again.

But judging from Chen Li's appearance, it seemed that he really didn't want to become a partner with Liu Ai.

"Brother and sister? Brothers and sisters, too!"

However, they only need Chen Li to have a relationship with the Liu family. Since partners are not good, siblings are also good.

brother and sister...

Liu Ai glanced at Chen Li calmly.

Later, Liu Qianqiu asked for Liu Ai's opinion, and when she agreed, Chen Li and Liu Ai became brothers and sisters today.

Chen Li's name was written into the Liu family tree, and he was considered half of the Liu family.

In the next few days, Chen Li lived in the Liu family mansion. During this period, Chen Li also broke through to the second level of Qi training and his strength improved.

"Join the Sword Sect?"

In a courtyard specially designated for Chen Li, Chen Li finished his sword practice and looked at Liu Ai.

"Correct."

Liu Ai nodded: "The great elder of Jianzong will come to Du'an City in two days and accept me as his disciple."

"So... I would like to ask you if you want to join the Sword Sect with me." The great elder of the Sword Sect is a being at the level of Jianxin.

Moreover, he is still the top expert in Jianxin.

Chen Li heard about it and said, "He is here to accept you as his disciple, so he may not like me."

"No." Liu Ai shook his head: "In just three days, your swordsmanship has improved from an inferior one to an outstanding one... The simple word "genius" is no longer enough to describe you."

"Jian Zong will never miss you."

Hearing this, Chen Li thought for a while and did not hesitate for long. He nodded and said: "Okay, I will try to see if I can join then."

Chen Li would naturally find a way to join the Sword Sect, which had assembled the strongest swordsmen in the world, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Liu Ai nodded: "Well, I will recommend you to him."

After the topic was over, Liu Ai left.

……

In the evening, Chen Li sat cross-legged in the house and practiced.

Suddenly, someone was passing by in the courtyard not far away, and the sound was quite loud in the quiet night.

Chen Li subconsciously turned on his spiritual observation.

It was discovered that Liu Qianqiu and Liu Wanyuan were walking together, heading towards the Liu family's study, where they usually discussed various family matters.

The two of them were talking about the specific matters of how they would host a banquet to welcome the Great Elder of the Sword Sect when he arrived in two days.

Just when Chen Li wanted to take back his spiritual vision, he suddenly discovered a fact that shocked him, and even the flow of spiritual power in his body stopped for a moment.

He discovered that there was an illusory red fragment in the head of Liu Wanyuan, who was talking and laughing with Liu Qianqiu!

The aura inside it was tightly covered. If he didn't turn on his spiritual vision, he wouldn't be able to detect it with just his physical sense. This was also the reason why he hadn't noticed it in the past few days.

Through his spiritual vision, Chen Li could even detect that the aura contained in the fragments inside Liu Wanyuan's head was extremely powerful and terrifying.

It was infinitely more powerful than the old man he met in Jimin Village!

Suddenly, Liu Wanyuan frowned, as if he felt someone was peeping at him, and couldn't help but look around. Then he suddenly raised his head and looked at the clear night sky illuminated by the bright moonlight.

In the end, there was still nothing, and he just thought it was an illusion.

On the other side, Chen Li had withdrawn his spiritual vision early. At this moment, he was shocked.

Liu Ai's father, Liu Wanyuan, is actually a ghost!
  He knew that he was probably the only one who knew about this matter.

Because Liu Wanyuan can move freely under the sun! This seriously violates human common sense.

Who would suspect that he is a ghost for no reason?
  If Chen Li hadn't turned on his spiritual vision to observe him, he might not have discovered that Liu Wanyuan was a ghost.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary ghost.

Liu Wanyuan was the first person to notice his spiritual observation. Although Chen Li was confident that he could not be traced to the source, the other party at least noticed that he was being watched.

Chen Li recalled the terrifying aura he felt just now.

With the terrifying degree of that aura, if he fought with it, he would probably be killed in a matter of seconds, without even having time to release the power of death!
  "We can't expose him yet..."

Chen Li frowned and thought.

"Is he Liu Ai's biological father?"

Chen Li suddenly thought of what the ghostly old man said before he died a few days ago.

"Contaminated with the breath of ghosts, strong desires will turn people into ghosts..."

He didn't pay much attention to this sentence before, because when Liu Ai and the others introduced ghosts to him, they only said that the only way for a person to become a ghost was to drink the blood of ghosts, and they had to be willing to transform into a ghost. The slightest bit of resistance will lead to failure.

They must also think that this is the only one.

But if what the old man said is true, then drinking ghost blood may not be the only way for humans to become ghosts...
