Li Chengfeng’s tone carried a clear trace of anger; the events of yesterday were still fresh in his mind.

Before the bloodline awakening ceremony, these people mocked and jeered, leaving Li Chengfeng with nothing to say.

But now, having confirmed that Li Xiaoyao was his son, if these people dared to speak insolently again, he wouldn’t be so courteous.

Xie Nan gave a faint smile and said, "Chengfeng, don’t be angry; they are just worried and confused. Besides, this matter really was a bit rushed. Although Xiaoyao is indeed of the Li Family, considering what has happened to him over the past twenty-plus years, I think it’s necessary to look into it. Once everything has been clarified, it isn’t too late to let him manage the family’s businesses."

Li Chengfeng didn’t even spare her a glance as he said, "Third Elder, you handle the share transfer and business allocation. Alright, let’s adjourn the meeting."

Xie Nan’s face turned somewhat unsightly; Li Chengfeng had completely disregarded her suggestion. For the first time, she felt a significant crisis regarding her position in the Li Family.

"Alright, I’ll handle it," Li Yiming nodded.

After the meeting dispersed, Xie Nan approached and blocked Li Chengfeng’s way, saying with a cold face, "Chengfeng, I have something to say to you."

"I have other matters, perhaps next time." Conveniently, his cellphone rang; he glanced at it, and his expression instantly turned serious. He turned back and gave Li Yiming a signal with his eyes, and the two of them quickly left.

Xie Nan watched his retreating figure, her delicate fingers clenched into a fist, her nails almost piercing her palm.

The two came to the courtyard, where Li Chengfeng pressed the answer key.

"Uncle," Li Chengfeng asked.

After a long while, an aged voice finally came from the cellphone.

"Over here in Hui Country, more and more people are gathering. If you have finished dealing with the family affairs, come over quickly," the uncle said gravely.

Li Chengfeng’s heart skipped a beat as he suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Has it been confirmed over there?"

"Yes, there indeed is a secret realm here. There have been two disturbances from beneath the secret realm these past few days. It’s precisely because of these two disturbances that so many people have been attracted here."

"Understood, I’ve got it," he hung up the phone and took a couple of deep breaths.

Li Yiming asked, "Has the secret realm been confirmed?"

"Yes," Li Chengfeng put away his phone and said, "Uncle, I will have to leave in a few days. I leave the family matters in your hands."

"Go ahead," Li Yiming said before asking hesitantly, "Have you decided on who will enter the Human Realm?"

"Add Xiaoyao to the list; you can decide on the rest," Li Chengfeng said. The Human Realm was a trial, and naturally, he wouldn’t let Xiaoyao miss out on such an opportunity.

"And the team leader?" Li Yiming hesitated for a few seconds and then asked, "Peng Cheng?"

"That is indeed an issue," Li Chengfeng asked, "What exactly is Xiaoyao’s cultivation level at the moment? Why do I see that he has only just entered the Qi Refining stage? Is this boy hiding his true cultivation level?"

Li Yiming chuckled and replied, "It’s just a façade. Although I’m not sure of his exact cultivation level, I doubt he is weak. Moreover, he is a Mentalist."

"Oh?" Li Chengfeng expressed some surprise. This was truly an unexpected joy.

He had seen the video of Li Xiaoyao killing Li Shisan and had more or less guessed that he was a Mentalist. However, hearing it from Li Yiming gave him quite a different feeling.

After pondering for a few seconds, Li Chengfeng said, "Take him to test his cultivation level."

"Alright," Li Yiming nodded, and just as he was about to leave, Li Tu suddenly rushed over, his expression panicked.

"Clan Leader, Third Elder, something terrible has happened," Li Tu said hurriedly.

Li Chengfeng frowned, a bad premonition in his heart, "What happened? What’s wrong?"

Li Tu said, "Elder Li Gu... he... he has returned."

"Li Gu?" Li Chengfeng initially did not understand, but then his face changed immediately.

Li Gu was one of the twelve outer disciples of the Li Family, and the biological brother of Li Shisan. He had been away on official business and his return at this time was surely to cause trouble for Li Xiaoyao.

After all, Li Xiaoyao had killed his brother, Li Shisan, and that hatred was likely to provoke Li Gu to do something drastic.

"Where is Xiaoyao now?" Li Chengfeng asked in a deep voice.

In his view, just because Li Xiaoyao managed to kill Li Shisan did not mean his cultivation level necessarily surpassed Li Shisan’s. There was a great chance that he had relied on an external treasure. Given that Li Gu’s cultivation level was even stronger than Li Shisan’s, the outcome of a true confrontation was uncertain.

Li Yiming, on the other hand, was not too worried. Concern leads to chaos; Li Chengfeng only remembered Li Xiaoyao’s killing of Li Shisan and forgot that this young man had even killed Xie Min, a cultivator of the Golden Core Realm. Li Gu, who was merely at the peak of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, was no match for him.

"He’s still in his room."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, but still said, "Let’s go have a look."

...

A middle-aged man with a full head of black hair, dressed in white training attire, had a steely expression on his face from the moment he entered the gate.

He had long been informed about the death of Li Shisan, but at the time, he was dealing with some important matters and could not be distracted. Now that he was finally done, he immediately inquired about the details of the incident.

It turned out that the person who killed Li Shisan was a young cultivator of only twenty-eight years old, and furthermore, this young cultivator was a member of the Li Family.

"As a member of the Li Family, to commit fratricide is abominable. Even if you are the son of the Clan Leader, I will kill you today to avenge my brother!"

Li Gu’s eyes were cold, his aura murderous. As he walked through the clan, he was like an unsheathed sharp sword.

"Where is Li Xiaoyao?" Li Gu stopped a clan member and asked angrily.

The clan member, startled, saw that it was Li Gu and respectfully responded, "Elder Li Gu, that Li Xiaoyao is in the Dongyuan side chamber."

"Dongyuan side chamber!" Li Gu huffed, quickly heading towards the Dongyuan, his movements drawing the attention of many onlookers from the clan.

"What’s going on with Elder Li Gu?"

"It seems he’s looking for trouble with Li Xiaoyao."

"Li Xiaoyao hasn’t offended him, has he? I remember Elder Li Gu has been busy dealing with affairs in the Middle East."

"Have you forgotten? Li Xiaoyao killed Elder Li Thirteen. Knowing this, how could Elder Li Gu not seek trouble with him?"

"Tsk tsk, this time Li Xiaoyao is really in trouble. Everybody knows about Elder Li Gu’s temper. Even though Li Xiaoyao has the Clan Leader’s support, Elder Li Gu is not someone who gives up easily."

"Let’s go, let’s see what happens."

A group of clan members closely followed, not willing to miss out on such a rare spectacle.

Just coming back from the big conference hall, Xie Nan had just heard about the incident and, after being stunned for a few seconds, laughed and said, "This Li Xiaoyao really is unlucky to have caught the attention of Li Gu."

With a schadenfreude smile, Li Pengcheng said, "Mom, I’ll go take a look," and then left the room.

Xie Nan sat in the room, contemplating the upcoming Human Realm trials that were soon to take place.

"Given Chengfeng’s nature, he definitely won’t let Li Xiaoyao miss this trial. This... could be a good opportunity."
