Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Li Muxiu lifted his head, gazing deeply at him, and said:

"He is my good friend, and even in front of His Majesty, I would say the same. My friendship with him is pure and transparent; I have never asked him to do anything for the Li Family, nor has he done anything for our Li Family!"

As he spoke, he seemed to recall something, paused for a moment, and his face turned slightly unsightly:

"Except that I entrusted him to take care of Hao Er... but that\'s your child…"

Feng Boping interrupted, "Taking care of Hao Er was my own volition, it has nothing to do with whether you entrusted me or not. If you hadn\'t said anything, would I have neglected Hao Er? Just for the seven-year fish Hao Er cooked for me, I would protect him for life!"

Li Tian Gang\'s eyes narrowed slightly, seven years?

That means Li Hao has been in contact with this "Saint of Thieves" for seven years already.

Thinking of the Second Uncle\'s predilections, he immediately figured out the general situation and sighed inwardly.

It seems Hao Er has been influenced since childhood.

"Keeping Hao Er at home was my greatest mistake and what I regret the most."

Li Tian Gang took a deep breath and said to Li Muxiu, "Second Uncle, I won\'t pursue the matter of your influence on Hao Er, but now, I, in the name of the True Dragon, demand that you sever all ties with him, with no further contact!"

Li Muxiu\'s face changed, and he looked at him with a mix of shock and anger, "You want to command me in the name of the True Dragon?!"

"That\'s right."

Li Tian Gang\'s expression was cold and serious, restraining the anger in his heart:

"Second Uncle, don\'t forget what blood flows through our veins and the surname we carry! Even though my father is no longer here to restrain you, the thousand-year-old family rules of the Li Family have been passed down through generations. Do you also intend to defy them?"

Li Muxiu looked at him with a mix of shock and anger, but in the end, his eyes were filled with disappointment.

He closed his eyes, and after a long while, reopened them; his gaze was filled with indescribable agony and time-worn sorrow as he said in a low voice:

"I\'ve led a wayward life in my earlier years and have done many wrong things. I\'m sorry to your father, for leaving him to guard the lonely city alone. I won\'t break the rules anymore, my life was given by the Li Family, and I will let it burn out for the Li Family..."

His body trembled slightly as he slowly turned around to look at Feng Boping.

As they gazed at each other, Li Muxiu\'s eyes brimmed with tears of blood: "Old Feng..."

Feng Boping\'s body trembled slightly, but his face slowly cracked a smile, and he said:

"Old Li, how can you cry at such an old age? Haven\'t I said before, even if we\'re worlds apart, we can still share the sun and moon. Gatherings and partings are not up to us. Both of us are old enough to accept our fates, just accept it…"

Li Muxiu\'s fists clenched tightly, his whole body shaking. His fist, strong and forceful, was known as the fist of a saint; yet it couldn\'t shatter the shackles of blood nor break the bindings within his heart.

Half a step invincible, yet not truly invincible after all.

That half step taken could never be retracted.

"Second Uncle, this is for the best for both of you. Don\'t blame me, Li Tian Gang, for being heartless,"

Li Tian Gang said solemnly.

Li Muxiu\'s silhouette was filled with vicissitudes; he said nothing, only silence.

Feng Boping gave Li Muxiu a smile, and then glanced at Li Hao\'s alter ego, his eyes filled with regret, and said: "But I promised Hao Er to guard Heavenly Gate Pass for three years..."

"Not necessary!"

Li Tian Gang looked at him, his face not so good-humored, and said coldly, "If you truly care about Hao Er, you should know that your notorious reputation, constantly being involved with Hao Er, will only burden him!"

"Do you want to ruin him? In the future, he is to inherit the Li Family\'s True Dragon and shine brilliantly. If people find out about his association with you, what kind of gossip will that stir?"

Feng Boping\'s cheeks twitched slightly, wanting to retort, but as the words reached his lips, he only chuckled softly:

"That\'s true, I\'m just a solitary traveler in this world, incomparable to the illustrious Divine General Mansion; I\'m not worthy to reach so high..."

He self-mockingly shook his head and looked at Li Hao\'s alter ego, whispering, "Hao Er has grown up and doesn\'t need someone to look after him anymore. If he can return from the Mo River, no one would dare invade Heavenly Gate Pass. Even if someone did come, this old man is probably of no use, as that would certainly be the existence of a Grand Tao of Peace Realm..."

He talked to himself, then smiled again, looking at the dark side of Li Hao with a kind and tender gaze:

"Child, from now on, you will have to walk your path alone."

"Snow and wind, I can only accompany you this far."

The dark side of Li Hao looked at him blankly, wanting to speak, yet not knowing what to say. In the end, he only said two words: "Don\'t go..."

Feng Boping\'s lips trembled slightly, but he just smiled, then turned around to look at the vast and boundless world, took a glance around and looked towards the direction of Cangya City.

His eyes flickered for a moment, he said nothing, just suddenly stepped forward and disappeared into thin air.

Heaven and Earth Traceless Skill, if he wished to leave, no one could keep him.

He invented this Cultivation Technique, and with his Martial Arts, he could perform it to the utmost limit.

A breeze swept by, lifting the corner of Li Muxiu\'s robe like a gentle hand, fluttering it, before it fell back down.

Li Muxiu was as silent as a stone, without a single sound.

Li Tian Gang glanced at him, understanding his Second Uncle\'s discomfort, and said softly, "Second Uncle, we should head to Dragon City Mo River now. I\'ll go ahead and check on the situation there..."

Li Muxiu did not respond.

But from afar, a sudden whooshing sound came, accompanied by a voice filled with surprise:

"Second Brother, Tian Gang?!"

Hearing this voice, both of them trembled, and even Li Muxiu sharply lifted his head to look in the direction of the voice.
