Goryeo, Jeolla South Province.

South Jeolla Province is located at the southwest end of the country of Goryeo. It has more than 6,000 miles of coastlines. These coastlines include more than 2,000 islands, three quarters of which are uninhabited islands.

Since the "Unknown Recovery Incident", coastal defense has become the top priority for small countries in Linhai.

In order to protect the country, the senior officials of the Goryeo Kingdom issued a series of decrees more than ten years ago, one of which was to open up all rights of these islands. Families who believed that they had the strength could choose islands to build on their own and have the ownership of the island forever.

Of course, these families who choose to settle on the island must fulfill their corresponding obligations.

The original intention of this law was to use major forces to resist crises from the deep sea. Unfortunately, those family forces were not stupid, and there was no need to damage their own interests for the so-called "permanent right of ownership". Therefore, these islands gradually became paradises for mutated creatures.

Of course, there are some families that are exceptions.

On an unknown island overseas in South Jeolla Province, it has beautiful natural scenery and beautiful scenery. The entire island is lush and covered with tall trees.

A Daxia-style ancient building complex is hidden in the dense woods. The entire complex is built using the traditional central axis symmetry of Daxia. The pavilions, towers, pools, water pavilions, and green cypresses are reflected in the green pines and cypresses; rockery, strange rocks, flower beds, bonsai, vines and bamboos, and the scenery is extremely unique.

The ancient building complex shrouded in the night was brightly lit. If it weren't for the security patrol of black suits and pet animals, those who were in it would have thought they had traveled to ancient times.

The central axis is facing a magnificent hall. Compared with other buildings in the courtyard, the lights in this hall are extremely dim. Candlelight is reflected on the mahogany floor. A purple bookcase is decorated in the southeast corner of the wall. The quiet moonlight shines in the hall through the carved wooden windows. The shadow of the magnolia flowers is projected on the guqin on the main table.

The off-white gauze curtain swayed with the night wind, bringing in some petals from outside the window, scattered on the strings, and the sandalwood fragrance rose from the incense burner, and the fragrance filled the entire hall.

Dong!

The old man in a generous Hanfu sat kneeling behind the table, reached out and tweaked the strings of the piano, and the petals pounded gently on the trembling strings.

The old man's slender fingers flicked back and forth, and the guqin made a tinging sound.

Two people were kneeling behind the tables on the left and right sides, both wearing generous plain Hanfu, one middle-aged and the other young.

They lowered their heads slightly, as if listening to the old man's piano sound.

"Taixuan." The old voice sounded in the hall with the sound of the piano, with a little imperial capital accent.

"Grandpa, I'm here."

The young man trembled and raised his head slightly to look at the old man.

"I have been going home for so long this time to train. Do you have confidence in the national competition?" The old man closed his eyes slightly, and his slender fingers were beating on the strings.

"Grandpa Don't worry, grandpa, grandpa has been devoted to training these days, and the war trainer hired by the family is no longer a match for grandpa." Li Taixuan said this, looking at the middle-aged man with a little smug look on his face: "If grandpa doesn't believe it, second uncle can testify for me."

The middle-aged man smiled gently at Li Taixuan, and his eyes showed a hint of pity.

"Father, Xiao Wu has made great progress these days."

Oops!

Seeing his second uncle's expression, Li Taixuan thought to himself that something was wrong, and a crying expression appeared on his face.

"Well." The old voice said calmly: "Humility, caution, self-proclaimer of wisdom is not wisdom. A humble wisdom is the great wisdom; a proud self-proclaimer of courage is not courage. A humble courage is the great courage."

"Although our Li family is not in our hometown, we must not forget the teachings of our ancestors. Taixuan, you copied the "Proverbs of Disciples" three times before returning to your hometown to participate in the competition, and you will be very good at polishing your character."

"Yes, grandpa."

Li Taixuan replied reluctantly with a broken face.

The old man nodded slightly and asked again: "Fengting, the family's industry is good recently."

"Father." Li Fengting's face turned right and replied respectfully: "The country of Goryeo is still good, Daxia... I will let go of the property of the homeland for Fangyan. With that girl's skills, she should be worry-free."

The old man nodded slightly: "I said why hasn't this girl bothered me, the old man for so long?"

Speaking of this old man, he changed his tone: "Fengting, how long has it been since I returned to my hometown to see it."

Li Fengting knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "I have been busy in recent years, and I really can't take time..."

The sound of the piano came to an abrupt end, and the lingering sound lingers in the hall.

His old hand held the strings and opened his eyes and looked at his second son sternly.

"Do you can't get the time, or don't want to go back?"

Faced with the old man's torture, Li Fengting lowered his head and stuttered a few times, "Father... Fengting knew his mistake."

The sound of the piano sounded, and the old man closed his eyes again: "Although I, Li, have been away from my hometown for nearly a hundred years, you need to remember the root of your bloodline."

"Goryeo has a small country with a narrow and arrogant attitude and short-sighted vision. I hope you don't learn it anymore."

Li Fengting and Li Taixuan looked at each other and said, "Son/Sun, I remember."

“So best.”

I always played for a while, but I always felt a little uneasy, and I seemed to be no longer as calm as before.

"My heart is always uneasy."

"The girl from Fangyan is in her homeland, and she is not familiar with her body..."

Li Fengting understood: "Don't worry, my father, I chose Bincheng for her. Where our Li family has been operating for decades, and we have our eyeliners everywhere."

"Before leaving, I took a lot of bodyguards to her. Besides, I just deal with some business and won't let her see blood easily." Speaking of this, Li Fengting smiled and said, "I think you are so worried that the girl Fangyan will feel restless."

The old man also felt that what his son said made sense, so he nodded slightly: "This is the best."

The sound of the guqin in the hall was dingdong, and Li Fengting's uncle and nephew were about to say goodbye.

At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the corridor.

"Master! Are you here?"

Before the people arrived, the voice had already been heard.

Li Fengting and Li Taixuan quickly stood up to greet him and said respectfully: "Uncle Qi, my father is playing the piano, why are you so anxious?"

Uncle Qi was wearing a Tang suit, about seventy years old. When he saw that it was Li Fengting, he tried hard to calm his rapid breathing and bowed to the two of them: "Second Young Master, Fifth Young Master."

"Okay, why are you polite to your child?"

The old man looked at Uncle Qi with a funny look: "I have been with me for decades, but why did I become as impetuous as a child when I grow old? I will say something slowly. I want you, the old guy, to accompany me for a few more years."

Uncle Qi pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly, and he didn't know what to say when he was at his mouth.

Seeing this, the old man smiled calmly. He looked at Uncle Qi and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Uncle Qi stammered his lips: "Master, go and see the eldest lady, she... she was seriously injured!"

Bang!

The strings broke, and the old man suddenly stood up.

The magnolia petals slowly fall from the piano.
Chapter completed!
