After Tingting's parents met their tragic deaths, the Li Family had no more scruples. First they seized the old man's restaurant, then his inn, reducing the pitiful grandfather and granddaughter to their present circumstances. Even then, they refused to leave them alone, often sending people to bully them.
Uncle Jiang feared that if the Li Family learned she was trying to cultivate, they would stop at nothing to have Tingting killed. Her father's talent had been extraordinary, and as his child, even if her aptitude was poor, it could hardly be that bad.
To prevent Tingting from taking revenge once she succeeded in cultivation, they might cut out the grass by its roots.
"So that's how it is..." Luo Yan looked thoughtful.

By now, everyone in town knew that two magnificent divine steeds had appeared at Uncle Jiang's shop. They could speak, were as strong as oxen, and could easily smash boulders apart.

At first, Luo Yan thought nothing of it, but the more he considered it, the more it sounded wrong. *Live to a hundred? Wasn't that wishing an early death on
