This was the very house built by the Li Family’s founder and his four sons when they had first established their family. Back then, Li Yuanxiu had managed family affairs from here, and Qinghong had lived here briefly. Their memories were still fresh. The house had since been reinforced with formations, and the ground now glimmered faintly with light.0

Li Ximing and the others seldom visited this place. As they strode into the back courtyard, Li Qinghong caught sight of a stone cage placed precisely at the courtyard’s center.0

The cage had no extra engravings, and only a faint glow indicated it was lined with formation arrays. At its very center, a child crouched, hugging his knees and lying sideways on the ground.2

The child’s golden eyes swept over them when he saw them approach. His cheeks were covered in tiny feather-like scales, and he stared at them blankly. 0
