Household head

  The two men in black saw the young master and one of them carefully said, "Young Master, the head of the household has said that if you wake up, please go to the front hall for a gathering."

  Li Yi glanced at them and nodded slightly: "After helping me deal with my injuries, go to the front hall."

  The two men in black did not dare to slack off, and they hastily called for someone to come and treat Li Yi's injuries. After that was done, and he had changed into new clothes, they led him slowly towards the great hall.

  The Li family's compound was quite spacious, with the air of a large and wealthy household visible everywhere. Although Li Yi wanted to observe the layout carefully, he could only reveal an impatient expression due to his current identity, walking slowly.

  This expression was no different from what Li Yi had imagined, although he knew that such behavior would often annoy people. However, if his current behavior were to be discovered as abnormal, it would be even worse.

  As the two of them arrived in front of a rather spacious great hall, the two men in black lightly knocked twice on the door before quickly retreating.

  Li Yi took a slight breath, for him, if he could pass this hurdle in front of him, then he could say other things, but if someone noticed anything unusual, it might cause big trouble.

  He pushed open the door and walked in slowly, looked up and saw a chair full of domineering aura right in front of the hall. On both sides of this chair, there was a row of seats lined up.

  Seated right in the middle was a middle-aged man with a deep and cold expression, wearing a large robe that revealed his astonishing aura. Although he just sat there, the entire hall was already shrouded in his presence, and under such circumstances, no one dared to speak casually.

  This man is Li Yi's current cheap father-in-law, the master of the Li family, Li Han.

  Li Han is not only the master of the Li family but also a nine-crystal Dou Shi. It's said that with just one more breakthrough, he can enter the ranks of the Dou Wang.

  Although he has not broken through yet, even so, whether in the Li family or in Wancheng City, he is already a top-notch master. It is said that the master of Wancheng City does not dare to speak loudly in front of Li Han.

  On either side of Li Han, however, sat two elderly men. These four elderly men were the elders of the Li family, and their actual strength was not to be underestimated. Next came the elite figures of the Li family and young people with potential, lined up from old to young.

  These people could all find a few impressions of Li Yi in their minds, but the way they looked at Li Yi with undisguised disdain was truly detestable.

  This gaze made Li Yi somewhat uncomfortable, but he still coughed slightly and stepped forward in big strides, making a gesture according to his memory, saying lightly: "I've seen Father and the four elders."

  Those four old men all hummed softly, which was considered a response. One of them even slightly pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "A useless waste that only causes trouble everywhere."

  His voice was low, but in the quiet hall it sounded extremely piercing.

  Li Yixin slightly smiled and thought to herself, it seems that her current identity is indeed one that everyone dislikes.

  Although Li Yi also knew that the other person was not scolding him, at this moment, the previous "Li Yi" had already disappeared from the world, so scolding him and scolding himself were no longer different.

  Li Yi had gradually become accustomed to his current identity, and upon hearing this, he only smiled slightly, but his eyes fell on the old man who had spoken up, as if still expecting him to say something.

  The old man was slightly stunned, he couldn't think of how Li Yi, who had never been used to such an extent before, dared to look at him like that now, and from the other's eyes, he seemed to have seen a few faint hints of murderous intent.

  Although this feeling made him somewhat surprised, he didn't think much about it and just slightly turned his head away.

  Li Han didn't look this way, but it was clear that he knew everything that happened here. He said calmly: "Third Elder, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. This time I'll let it go, but if there's a next time, you know the consequences."

  The one called the Third Elder obviously had been prepared, he slapped his hand on the armrest and said: "Li Han, although you are the master of my Li family, but you also don't have the qualification to do whatever you want."

  Li Han smiled slightly and glanced at the three elders, saying calmly: "Elder Three, go ahead and speak. How have I, Li Han, acted arbitrarily?"

  Several elderly men exchanged a glance, and the Third Elder spoke up again: "You let Li Yi do as he pleases, losing face for the entire Li family of Wanchao all these years. That's one thing, but yesterday he actually even... that young lady from the Mo family..."

  He frowned slightly and continued: "Now that the Mo family has come to our doorstep, Li Han, you'd better think of a way to give them an explanation!"

  Li Han smiled lightly and said, "Hand over? Why don't you just go to the Mo family and arrange for Mo Rouxin to marry into our Li family. Even if Yier is not worthy, she is still the future head of the Li family, and her identity won't humiliate them. The relationship between the three elders and the Mo family is so good, surely they can accomplish this?"

  The three elders were slightly stunned, their faces stiffened, as if they too did not expect Li Han to say such a thing.

  It wasn't until now that the Li family members in the hall also found out that Li Yi had already eaten Mo Ruxin, the eldest daughter of the Mo family. As soon as this was said, the hall immediately erupted into an uproar.

  Li Yi could even feel the countless mocking gazes that had been directed at him suddenly becoming complex and multifaceted.

  Although it's not something to brag about, having slept with someone else's daughter, apparently many people in this hall are now thinking of switching roles.

  Li Yi's gaze fell on the old man who was taking advantage of him.

  From his last memory of "Li Yi", Li Yi clearly knew that he was quite afraid of this old man. Even if he was reckless and lawless outside, but once he met this old man, he would suddenly become like a turtle with its head shrunk in, not even daring to breathe loudly.

  But Li Han was also strange. Originally, when his wife was alive, he was quite strict with his son. However, after his wife's accidental death, he became somewhat indifferent to his only son, even turning a blind eye to his son's idle and reckless behavior. The previous young Li Yi, who often caused trouble, seemed to have some intention of competing with his old father.

  Li Han's face showed no expression at this moment, still a calm and indifferent look, as if he was not the one who said those words just now.

  Seeing his attitude, Li Yi swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

  He had originally suspected that Little Li Yi was able to do so many things, and if there were no other people instigating him behind the scenes, it would be absolutely impossible. To say nothing of the distant past, just talking about the Mo Rou Xin incident, it's likely related to many people in the great hall.

  He had thought of several excuses to lead these people out and solve the big problem he encountered as soon as he came, but now looking at this cheap old man's expression, he must have a plan in mind.

  This made Li Yi suddenly have a few more thoughts on watching the play, although he was the protagonist of this matter at this moment, but it didn't hinder him from taking a good look at all of this.

  An old man who had been narrowing his eyes suddenly smiled faintly, and after smiling, he said in a low voice: "Master of the house, although it is usually your direct descendants who take on this role... However, according to the rules, we Li family members must cultivate into at least one Dou Zhe by the age of 20. If not, they will be sent out to manage various family businesses and no longer have the qualifications to enter the family's main power... Li Yishao is your direct descendant and only heir, if he can become a Dou Zhe by the age of 20, I think it's possible for him to inherit the position of master. But now Li Yishao is already 15 years old, in a few more years he will be 20, but at this moment there isn't even a hint of Dou Qi on his body, how can he be considered as the heir to the house?"

  Li Han's face changed slightly, and Li Yi didn't have the slightest bit of fighting spirit. He was also clear about this in his heart. If these elders were to grasp onto this point, they would be at a loss for what to do with him. At this moment, he smiled calmly and said: "Elder, your words are indeed excessive. How can you be certain that my Yi'er doesn't have even a single thread of fighting spirit? Moreover, whether or not he has the qualifications to become the next generation's family head seems to be up to me to decide, rather than all of you elders."

  That old man let out a "hiss" of laughter and said calmly, "Whether or not Young Master Li has any martial energy, we can try to find out. I also know that today is an opportunity for Young Master Li to show off a bit. It's indeed difficult for him, but three months from now is our Li family's annual clan gathering. If Young Master Li really has the qualifications, he might as well go up there and let us old folks open our eyes wide. As for now, please don't use the title of future master to act on behalf of the master, it won't convince anyone!"

  Li Han's face suddenly turned dark, this great elder had a high reputation in the family and was quite talented, originally he thought these old guys just wanted to use Mo Rouxue's affair to make Li Yi lose his identity as the successor of the family head, but now it seems that these old ghosts are not small...
