Chapter 44 - Elegant Interest

Li Yi sneered and said indifferently, "Nonsense, if it wasn't me who killed them, do you think it was you?" Li Nana looked at Li Yi strangely, seemingly incredulous, but she still had some thoughts. She slowly stood up, walked over to the two corpses, and suddenly couldn't help saying, "Ah! These two are from our Li family, how could they..." Li Yi casually said, "If they weren't from our Li family, do you think anyone could just run into the inner courtyard to commit murder? Nana, what are you planning to do next? Find a place to hide, or join me?"

"Find a place to hide? What do you mean?" Li Nana's face slightly changed color. "Well, it's not so complicated. Next, I..." Li Yi's expression suddenly changed, he sneered, and said, "As expected, they have come!" With that, he casually extinguished the candle in the room, grabbed the confused Li Nana, and leaped out the window. In a flash, they were on the rooftop. Hiding in the shadows of the rooftop with Li Nana, Li Yi finally let go of her hand and whispered, "No need to talk, just watch."

"Watch what? And your agility..." Li Nana didn't finish her sentence before Li Yi covered her mouth. They lay on the rooftop, and then he whispered in her ear, "Don't talk, just listen carefully, today's events are quite interesting!" Whether intentional or not, Li Yi's breath in Li Nana's ear made her body go limp and heat up. Even though she wanted to argue, she couldn't speak.

In the distance, a slow footsteps approached, interspersed with laughter. A sycophantic voice rang out from afar, "Big cousin... oh, no no, I should say Young Master, let's continue drinking and having fun. Why come to this remote place? With two uncles taking action, Li Yi, no matter how lucky, is bound to die today."

Moments later, a faint voice said, "That kid is extremely cunning. Although Li Han is doomed this time, if that kid escapes, it will be endless trouble... If I don't see his corpse with my own eyes, I won't feel at ease."

Hearing this, Li Nana was shocked, disbelief evident in her eyes. Li Yi had guessed some of it and smirked, writing with a finger on the rooftop tile: Your brother Li Qiao really wants me dead, I just don't know if he plans to kill you too...

After advancing to Fighter, Li Yi's strength had increased immensely, allowing him to write on the tiles silently. Even in her shock, Li Nana was amazed. Although impulsive, she knew the gravity of the moment. She struggled slightly, signaling Li Yi to let go, hesitated, and then grabbed his hand, writing slowly on his palm: What's really going on? Why would brother Li Qiao do this? He clearly...

Li Nana's skin was soft, like creamy gelatin, and her light touch carried a faint fragrance. Even in such a situation, Li Yi was excited by the soft and fragrant touch. But under these circumstances, he couldn't dwell on these thoughts. He quickly grabbed Li Nana's hand and wrote back: Just listen carefully.

Li Nana looked puzzled but nodded, gritting her teeth and looking down. Under the faint moonlight, Li Qiao, accompanied by three clan juniors, was slowly approaching Li Yi's residence. The family guards, who should have been vigilant, were nowhere to be seen, not stopping them at all. The sycophantic voice spoke again, "Young Master, once Li Yi dies, your position as the head of the Li family will be justified... And Nana has been infatuated with you, it seems you are indeed blessed with women."

At this moment, Li Yi finally saw the speaker, Li Lin, a lesser-known member of the Li family's collateral branch, always running errands for Li Qiao. Li Lin's words made Li Qiao pause briefly, then he laughed, "Li Lin, are you eyeing that little flirt, Li Nana? If you like her, go ahead and have fun with her later..."

Li Lin hesitated, "Young Master, aren't we going to check if Li Yi is dead? And Li Nana too..."

"Li Nana?" Li Qiao sneered, "That little flirt came to me in the evening, trying to comfort me, not to be sad. I casually consoled her, and she's probably preparing to deal with Li Yi now. With her temperament, she probably won't be able to do it, but I've already instructed two uncles to knock her out if they see her... After we play with her, we'll just kill her and blame Li Yi. No one will suspect him, given his reputation with women."

Li Nana was shocked, looking down at the group. The casual and cruel discussion of her fate reflected the darkness within her family, revealing truths she had never imagined.

Li Lin and the others exchanged glances, all bursting into laughter: "Young Master is truly wise! Hahaha..." While talking, they all unconsciously quickened their steps, clearly excited by Li Qiao's words, their lust aroused. "Li Yi! Come out and face your death!" Li Lin bellowed, kicking open Li Yi's room door. The room was dark, but the intense smell of blood spread as the door opened. Li Lin and his group were thrilled, another bowed to Li Qiao, "Young Master, it seems that the little guy Li Yi is dead for sure! Let's go in and enjoy ourselves, Young Master, after you..."

Li Qiao laughed, "Of course, I'll lead. Don't tell me you want to compete with me!" While talking, the group slowly walked into the room. They hadn't clearly seen the situation inside yet, but lewd laughter was already coming out. On the rooftop, Li Yi didn't know whether to be angry or amused, finding it unbelievable that he was outwitted by these people. He glanced at the stunned Li Nana and whispered, "Do you see? Your noble brother Li Qiao is down there. Do you want to go down and serve him?" Without waiting for Li Nana's reaction, he had already flashed to the doorway, smiling at the scene inside.

The room was now lit, and soon a voice of surprise and anger sounded, "Impossible!" "Dad! Uncles! What happened to you!" Another voice rang out, seemingly having a close relationship with the two assassins. Various strange shouts came from the room, and after a moment, a loud "snap" was heard, followed by Li Qiao roaring, "Stop the noise! It's clear that the little rascal Li Yi isn't dead, something's wrong, let's go!"

Shaking his head slightly, Li Yi leisurely walked to the doorway. As he stepped in, his gaze casually swept over the astonished faces of the others, and he said with a half-smile, "Dear cousins, what brings you to my humble abode in the middle of the night? It seems that you have no right to be here."

Li Yi's calm demeanor frustrated Li Qiao, but being a person of status, he took a few breaths and then put on a smile, "You misunderstand, cousin Li Yi. We were just passing by, smelled the blood in this room, and couldn't help but take a look. I didn't expect you, cousin, to have such a refined interest in slaughtering our clansmen."

"Not at all, how can I compare to you, dear cousin, who wanders arm-in-arm with fellow clansmen under the moonlight? Such refined tastes indeed," Li Yi said with a pleasant smile. "Since you, dear cousin, have such interests, feel free to continue... I certainly won't stop you..."

Li Qiao laughed, "You jest, cousin Li Yi. Whatever refined interests we might have, they're gone upon seeing you... Perhaps you'd like to explain the bloodstains all over your room, huh?"

Li Yi's gaze indifferently swept over the corpses on the floor, nonchalantly saying, "Just a couple of foolish dogs trying to bite their master. As their master, naturally, I had to discipline them... By the way, dear cousin, there seem to be four more dogs that have entered my room. Would you like to help me discipline them?"

A flash of murderous intent passed through Li Qiao's eyes, and their gazes briefly collided, both letting out a chuckle.
