The Li residence was recently under tight security, with numerous guards patrolling the area. Upon hearing the shout, the guards rushed to the scene.
"Chen Anlin, are you trying to kill my sister?" Li Xiang exclaimed, knowing full well that his sister was doomed. A senior had mentioned that although there was an antidote for the poison, it required careful preparation, and the materials needed for the antidote were not cheap either.
At that moment, consumed by his desire to poison Chen Anlin, Li Xiang had not considered that his own people could also be affected. He was indifferent, focused solely on eliminating Chen Anlin.
"Get out of my way!" Chen Anlin shouted as he backhanded Li Xiang, sending him flying.
He then helped Li Xuexin to her feet. Although the poison was troublesome, it was something he could easily resolve with his medical skills. First, he needed to seal off Li Xuexin's heart meridian to prevent the poison from spreading further. After that, he could concoct the antidote and resolve the issue.
"Chen Anlin, I know I can't defeat you, but you poisoned my sister. I will not let you off easily," Li Xiang declared, unaware that Chen Anlin had a means of treatment and still plotting against him.
"Fool," Chen Anlin replied dismissively.
"What’s going on here?" At last, Li Xizhi arrived with some clan members, dressed only in a robe.
"Father, you have to do something for my sister! This Chen Anlin has killed her! She’s been poisoned!" Li Xiang cried out.
"Li Xiang, how can you say your sister is dead when you haven’t even seen her?" Chen Anlin retorted coldly. "Or are you admitting that you were the one who poisoned her?"
"You’re talking nonsense! Chen Anlin, at this point, you still want to frame me? My sister is in this state because of you!" Li Xiang accused vehemently.
"Enough! What exactly is going on?" Li Xizhi frowned and shot a glare at Chen Anlin.
He was trying to remain rational; after all, Chen Anlin had come from afar to help and wouldn’t harm his daughter. If he truly intended to strike against her, he would have done so while she was in the capital.
Thus, he suspected there was more to this situation than met the eye.
Chen Anlin clasped his hands together and said, "Li Zhuang, your son seems to have ulterior motives."
As soon as he finished speaking, he extended his hand and channeled his powerful soul energy, pulling a shadow from the corner. This shadow was the spirit of a master. Ordinary people could not see its existence; only Chen Anlin, with his immense soul power, could easily perceive it.
The master spirit was startled and turned to flee.
"Trying to run?" Chen Anlin called out sharply, catching it in an instant and enveloping it completely.
Boom! Boom!
Chen Anlin unleashed two sword intents in quick succession. The seemingly powerful soul entity was shattered twice in an instant.
"Little brother, let's talk this over. I am a first-grade grandmaster and know the way to ascend to immortality. If you let me go, I am willing to assist you," the soul entity quickly transmitted its thoughts to Chen Anlin.
"Why did you target Li Xuexin?" Chen Anlin asked. "And you don’t need to transmit your thoughts."
The soul entity hurriedly explained, "I didn’t know she was here."
"Then who sent you?" Chen Anlin pressed further.
The soul entity froze for a moment and instinctively glanced at Li Xiang.
At this moment, everyone had already seen the outline of the soul entity.
Li Xiang panicked.
Feeling nervous, a chill ran down his spine, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.
"This old senior is too careless; he got discovered so quickly. If I had known this would happen, I would have said something earlier instead of trying to show off!"
Li Xiang's expression changed dramatically as fear gripped his heart. What if the old senior revealed that he was the one behind it? What then?
Their relationship was merely one of cooperation; they weren't even teacher and student. They had known each other for a very short time, and he did not believe that the old senior would sacrifice himself to protect him.
Sure enough, the old senior looked at Li Xiang and said, "I am also acting on someone else's orders."
Following his gaze, Li Xizhi and the others turned their attention to Li Xiang.
After all, he was his own son.
Seeing Li Xiang's eyes, which looked as if he had lost both parents, Li Xizhi immediately understood what had happened.
Slap!
Li Xizhi struck him hard, sending Li Xiang flying over five meters.
"Dad!" Li Xiang cried out, covering his face as he painfully got back up.
"You worthless brat! You do nothing good and now you dare to poison your sister!"
"Dad, don't misunderstand! I just... I just wanted to deal with Chen Anlin; he's not a good person!" Li Xiang shouted hoarsely.
"You think I’m too close to your sister, so you’re jealous, right?"
Chen Anlin sighed and cupped his hands towards Li Xizhi, explaining, "Li Zhuang, to be honest, after interacting with Li Xiang, I've noticed that he seems to have feelings for his sister, Li Xuexin, that go beyond mere sibling affection."
"What?" Li Xizhi was taken aback.
"Ahem, in other words, the one who truly has ill intentions towards Li Xuexin is him," Chen Anlin said calmly.
At this revelation, the guards outside and several elders exchanged strange glances at Li Xiang.
No one had expected that Li Xiang would be such a person. It was one thing to be unlearned and unskilled; it was another to covet one's own sister—truly outrageous.
In that moment, Li Xizhi's expression also fell drastically.
The Wanjian Villa had been a prestigious family for over a thousand years.
Reputation still mattered.
He never imagined that such a thing could happen within his family.
It seemed today would require some house cleaning, Li Xizhi murmured to himself.
"What? Dad, my sister is fine!" Li Xiang hurriedly protested. "Dad, I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! My sister is okay; Chen Anlin is fine too! I won't dare again!"
Li Xiang was genuinely panicking.
