"Father, I was hit! I was hit!"
The Ninth Young Master of the Li Family stumbled into the gates of Marquis Wu’s Mansion in a disheveled state, staggering as he moved.
His hands tightly covered his backside, each step comically awkward as if a heavy stone hung from it.
Tears and snot ran down his face.
This strange yet comical sight drew the attention of the servants and maids, who looked on curiously.
In the main hall of the Marquis Wu’s Mansion, a middle-aged man with a stern face sat at the head seat.
He wore luxurious attire and was chatting amiably with a scholar in a green robe. Stay updated via novelbuddy
This man was none other than the Military Marquis Li Zhen Tian, the current head of the Li Family.
Hearing the commotion from outside, he exuded an aura of authority and disapproval without anger.

When he saw Ninth Young Master Li bursting in without courtesy and interrupting his conversation with the guest, his expression turned grim and he bellowed, "What kind of conduct is this?!!"
Ninth Young Master Li, having never seen his father so furious, couldn’t help but shudder.
The guest, upon seeing Li’s tear-streaked and snot-covered face, wisely stood up, clasped his hands in respect, and said, "It seems the Marquis has family matters to attend to. I should take my leave and not intrude."
"My apologies, we can convene at the palace tomorrow to summon the ministers for discussion and then decide."
Li Zhen Tian cordially escorted the guest out and turned back to the hall.
He stared intently at Ninth Young Master Li, scanning him from head to toe before asking angrily, "Speak, what on earth happened?"
Seeing his father’s wrath, Ninth Young Master Li was frightened, but the burning pain from his buttocks reminded him of Shen Qing’s smug face, making it hard to focus on anything else.
He fell to his knees with a thud, crying bitterly, "Father, you must seek justice for me!"
While sobbing, Ninth Young Master Li narrated the grievances he had just suffered at the "Zuixian Building" in a choked voice.
"Father, today I took Grandpa Tong to Zuixian Building to check the accounts and encountered two hooligans from the Military Department. At first, everything was fine, but who knew those two Chief Officers from the Military Department were so rude, shouting at us. I chose not to argue, but who would’ve thought my repeated tolerance would lead them to take advantage of us... Grandpa Tong stood up for me and was beheaded, and I couldn’t escape, ending up like this..."
"Father, those Chief Officers of the Military Department truly have no regard for our Li Family, Father!"
At this point, Ninth Young Master Li Yi couldn’t hold back his wails, seemingly venting all his grievances.
However, after hearing everything, Li Zhen Tian did not react with the rage Li Yi expected, instead letting out a cold laugh.
He looked down from above and said, "Little Nine, do you know why your grandfather chose me to inherit the title of Marquis among my uncles?"
"What?"
"Because I never blindly trust others’ words, especially one-sided stories like yours."
Ninth Young Master Li Yi’s face froze, his sobs stuck in his throat.
He stared at his father in disbelief.
Li Zhen Tian continued, "Though those in the Military Department are often unreasonable and arrogant, they’re not brainless. Do you think your father blind, unable to discern truth from falsehood in what you’ve said today?"
"I’ll say this: it’s always you bullying others, not the other way around without reason. Tell me, what really happened?"
Li Zhen Tian’s aura of Spiritual Energy trembled, a sharp momentum rising from him, displaying his Primordial Spirit Realm power unmistakably.
The color on Ninth Young Master Li Yi’s face shifted from red to white, then to blue.
Swallowing, he quickly bowed his head and truthfully confessed, "I heard that the Chief Officer dining at Zuixian Building recently participated in the Jing Luan Assembly, so I sent Grandpa Tong to ask him for some information. Perhaps Grandpa Tong’s words were too harsh, causing offense, and ultimately led to the conflict."
Li Zhen Tian pieced together a rough outline of the situation from the description.
Surely, he relied on the family’s influence, becoming arrogant and reckless.
This is what led to the confrontation, forcing the other to act in desperation.
It was consistent with his son’s usual behavior.
Li Zhen Tian sighed, disappointment and helplessness evident in his tone.
Thinking of the matter involving Jing Luan Assembly, Li Zhen Tian spoke, "Just now you mentioned the Chief Officer you encountered had participated in the recent Jing Luan Assembly?"
"Yes, Father. I remember he should be named Shen Qing." Ninth Young Master Li Yi quickly nodded and said, "Many of our family’s brothers and sisters faced misfortune in this Jing Luan Assembly. I’ve seen you often troubled by it, Father, so I wanted to learn more about it to open your mind."
Li Zhen Tian glanced at Li Yi, his heart filled with a mix of emotions, unsure of what to say.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly responded, "If I recall correctly, only one person survived the recent Jing Luan Assembly. If you’re not mistaken, then the person you encountered today should be him."
"This man came from humble beginnings, initially a hunter, with no ancestral privileges. The reason he could enter the power-holding government office like the Capital Military Department, aside from his own capabilities, was mainly because Your Majesty appointed him intentionally."
"In other words, perhaps there are deeper intentions from Your Majesty, and you shouldn’t have provoked him."
"Ah... Father, should we just let it go?" Ninth Young Master Li Yi asked, unwilling to accept.
"Let it go?"
With a "slap" sound, Li Zhen Tian slapped Li Yi’s face harshly.
