Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 153: Bidding farewell

”???”

In front of the screen, Li Wei was also dumbfounded. Twenty years had passed, and this was the first time he had truly seen the extent of the Li familyʼs accumulated wealth and resources.

After all, the Li family descendants were always coming and going, and he couldnʼt leave the family estate. Most of the time, he was focused on his cultivation.

He opened the game history log again.

[Year 72nd: Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, received a reward from the Demon Lord, obtaining the supreme-grade spirit artifact, the Godslayer Needle, which she sent back to the family as an offering to the ancestors.]

[Year 76th: Your descendant, Li Yaowen, dispatched Dawn assassins to assassinate a Golden Core expert, obtaining the high top-grade spirit artifact, the Skyfire Rotating Wheel, which she sent back to the family as an offering to the ancestors.]

[Year 77 of the Li family: Your descendant, Li Yaowen, sent assassins back home to gather millions of spirit stones and purchased three seventh-grade spirit elixirs at an auction house...]

[...]

Quietly and without fanfare, they had already been enriching the familyʼs foundation through various means.

Moreover, with the current era of turmoil, acquiring resources has become easier. It was no wonder they said war was the best way to get rich.

Li Wei let out a long sigh.

He watched the family members. They had emptied the house of all valuables. The only thing remaining in Green Valley Village and the Li family residence was the still-abundant spiritual energy.

Then, they moved to a secluded area within the Li family estate.

The Gu family, the Lantier Han family, and the friends the Li family had made over the years all arrived.

Standing before them were Li family children, all under the age of twelve.

Li Dalong gave each child a spatial ring.

He looked at the Li familyʼs friends with a solemn expression, cupped his hands towards them, and said gratefully, ”Everyone, these children will be under your care. For this, Dalong and the entire family are eternally grateful. In the future, the Li family will repay you handsomely.”

”Hahaha!”

Gu Kaiming, the head of the Qingping Gu family, was considered the Li familyʼs closest friend and was even related to them by marriage. He concealed his worry and laughed heartily. ”Although I donʼt know what the Li family is facing, Brother Dalong, rest assured, our two families have long been as close as brothers!”

”Moreover, over the years, the secrets our two families share, secrets we cannot tell outsiders, are countless.”

”Even just for these, I, Gu Kaiming, would never betray the Li familyʼs children!”

Upon hearing these words, the leaders of the other factions all expressed their agreement.

”Yes, itʼs clear that the Li family is about to embark on a perilous undertaking that will defy the world. If you have any requests, donʼt hesitate to ask!”

”Let me make this clear: my Lantier Han family owes its current standing to the Li family. Todayʼs events are a secret, and the Li familyʼs children are our familyʼs greatest secret. Anyone who dares to reveal this will be an enemy of the Han family!”

”Amitabha, it seems my temple will have another meat-eating monk. May Buddha forgive me.”

”...”

With everyone expressing their support, Li Dalong, along with the Li family members, bowed deeply. ”We, the Li clan, will remember this kindness.”

Soon, the children were taken away. Some of the younger ones still didnʼt understand why and continued to cry, but Li Dalong believed that when they grew up, they would understand everything.

Some of the older children, who already understood the reason for their departure, showed a stubborn determination on their faces. As they left, they reassured their elders not to worry, to go and avenge Old Pig without any concerns, and promised that when they grew up, they would also contribute to the family.

Bidding farewell to the children, Li Dalong and his wife felt a pang of reluctance. Due to their age, they had rarely paid attention to the fourth and fifth generations of the Li family. Xu Cuihua, in particular, had often been bewildered by these children whose names she could barely remember.

But now, they were filled with a sense of gratification. The children of the Li family were, after all, still Li family children. They were meant to flourish everywhere, leaving their everlasting mark on this land.

As the children departed, everyone gathered in the center of Green Valley Village, where the wives and sons-in-law of two generations of the Li family had assembled.

Tears streamed down their faces.

Half a month ago, when Old Pig died, their husbands and wives had resolutely left home.

And today, the family was scattered.

The Li family residence was no longer filled with laughter and chatter. No one would gather and argue about whose child was whose anymore. The familiar pet pig would no longer come from the Silver Iron Forest to help them take care of the children. The spirit beasts of the Li family had also disappeared.

The sound of Li Yaotie tirelessly hammering away at his forge, day and night, would no longer echo from the Forging Hall. Sword lights would no longer flash through the sky from the direction of the Silver Iron Forest. Strange foxes would no longer sneak into the family estate. And their eccentric grandfather and great-grandfather would no longer emerge from the coffin, carrying foul-smelling corpses back into it.

”Whatʼs there to cry about?”

Xu Cuihua, for the first time, showed anger in front of the younger generation. ”We have important matters to attend to, itʼs not like weʼre dying. We will meet again someday.”

Chen Lin, Li Yundouʼs wife, was quite fierce. She gritted her teeth and said, ”Grandpa, Grandma, where are you going? I... I can go too. Iʼm at the Foundation Establishment stage, after all.”

”Go back home. The Chen family is doing well now.”

Li Dalong smiled at his granddaughter-in-law. ”This time, our Li family is not fighting against a single family or sect. We are fighting against the very memories of Azure Cloud region.”

”Yes.”

Li Yaotie and his wife held a stack of ancestral tablets and handed them to the spouses of the younger generation. ”Remember, our ancestors will always protect you. We donʼt know when weʼll return. If...”

Li Yaotie hesitated, unable to bring himself to say the words.

Bai Rourou spoke frankly, ”If you cannot wait, you are free to seek new relationships. When the children left, they left divorce papers. You are still young, and the Li family will not blame you for any choice you make.”

”Our Li family will always consider you as our children. We remember your kindness and contributions to the family. If you cannot bear the loneliness and wish to remarry, I will make the decision on behalf of the children and send you betrothal and wedding gifts at the appropriate time.”

”Mother!”

”Grandma!”

”We wonʼt leave!”

Upon hearing these words, everyoneʼs eyes reddened. They understood that the family was truly going to risk their lives.

”Get out! Stay here and wait to die? Remember, the moment you step out of the Li family residence, if anyone asks, tell them you are no longer part of the Li family!”

Li Yaozu narrowed his eyes and swept his sword outwards.

Under the pressure of his sharp sword energy, everyone boarded their carriages and departed, looking back repeatedly.

The carriages left.

Within Green Valley Village, nearly ten thousand villagers knelt and watched the Li family. Seeing them send their family members away, how could they not understand the Li familyʼs decision?

Although Li Dalong tried to persuade them, the village head and the villagers remained kneeling, their eyes red with tears.

In Green Valley Village, for generations, the Li family, who could have acted as aloof and superior cultivators, never oppressed the villagers. If there were occasional instances, the Li family would punish the offenders. Under the Li familyʼs grace, the villagers learned cultivation techniques. When the young masters and mistresses of the Li family had delicious food, they would even share it with the villagers they knew on the streets.

Many villagers had even helped raise the Li familyʼs children.

”After the Li family leaves, the people from Cloudsea Pavilion will take Green Valley Village under their protection. If anyone dares to harm Green Valley Village, they will face a sword at the village entrance.”

Li Yunbing helped the village head to his feet. Seeing the old manʼs tear-streaked face, he smiled. ”Village Head Grandpa, we entrust Green Valley Village to you. I hope that when we return, I will see that Green Valley Village has its own spirit vein, that our Forging Hall is filled with talented artisans, and that we have a Spirit Herb Garden, an Alchemy Room, a Library...”

”The Li familyʼs ambition is to control Tailin Town, and eventually, the entire Sky Jade City!”

The village head gritted his teeth. ”I understand. All these years, we have been a burden to you. Please rest assured, when you return, the children of Green Valley Village will not disappoint the Li family. The Li familyʼs goal is our Green Valley Villageʼs goal!”

”Yes!”

”Master Dalong, just you wait! My child will go work in the Forging Hall next year!”

”Once my son reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, no matter what Master Yunbing needs to do, Iʼll have my son stand at the forefront!”

”All members of the Black Blood Hall, along with all the villagers of Green Valley Village, respectfully send off the masters and madams of the Li family—”

”May the Li family prosper for ten thousand generations!”

A thousand giant eagles soared into the sky, and the cultivators of the Black Blood Hall circled above the village entrance.

The villagers of Green Valley Village knelt and bowed in unison towards the departing Li family members.

In their eyes, these familiar figures of the Li family, soaring through the air on their swords, were just as fearless as they had been when Green Valley Village faced threats in the past, rushing out to protect them.

They could pierce through the clouds and break through the darkness.

And one day in the future, they would return in the same manner, under the sunlight, bringing with them endless glory!
