Insufficient balance

  The training ground in the backyard of Li's house was now bustling with noise and excitement.

  As one of the prominent families in Wancheng, the Li family's clan gathering is an extremely important event every year. Not only do all members of the Li family prepare for this day for a long time, but other forces in Wancheng also attach great importance to the Li family's clan gathering.

  After all, the Li family's clan meeting not only tests the achievements of the younger generation within the clan but also has a taste of exerting pressure on other forces. After all, on the continent of Dou Shen, the key to a family's continuous prosperity lies in whether the family has a true strongman.

  And these so-called strong people are often those who can show amazing talent at a young age.

  In the training grounds, nearly two hundred young men and women from various Li family industries rushed back, each with a hint of arrogance on their faces.

  Those who can be selected to participate in this family conference are all the best among the various branches of the Li family, as for those ordinary people, they really don't have the guts to attend such a meeting and lose face.

  In the front of the training field, there was a bluestone platform, and around the platform were some high-ranking officials of the Li family. In the center of the platform was the truly superior position. Sitting here, apart from Li Han and the four elders of the Li family, the rest were all figures with heads and faces in Wancheng City.

  Compared to previous years, there are many more distinguished guests this year. Many families that didn't have a good relationship with the Li family have also come to attend the ceremony with smiling faces. The reason is simple: a few months ago, news spread that the useless young master of the Li family would be attending this clan gathering, which would determine whether he could become the heir to the Li family's inheritance.

  This point, everyone present did not dare to ignore it. The Li family is a powerful force in the Wan Chao City, and any changes within the family are things that need attention.

  So this year's gathering, apart from some people who are watching the show with ulterior motives, most of them want to see what changes will take place in the Li family's power structure after this clan meeting. Will it still be dominated by Li Han or will the four elders of the Li family start to seize power?

  Similarly, this time the importance of the clan meeting, within the Li family these high-level personnel are even more each with their own calculations, people from various branches all have their own expressions, only this time the clan meeting has not yet ended, so no one can predict the outcome.

  Li Han sat in the middle of the noble seat, his face expressionless, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry. Beside him, the three elders had a faint smile on their faces: "Master, I think this clan meeting should begin? The guests have been waiting for a long time, right?"

  Upon hearing this, Li Han's eyes only flickered slightly, and he swept a glance over the VIP seats. He didn't pay attention to the other minor characters, but his gaze was fixed on Young Master Long Ao Tian of the Long family and Second Master Mo of the Mo family, before finally falling on the two men in white robes standing in the corner.

  What's going on? Even that place has people now?

  Li Han slightly furrowed his brow, then smiled quietly and said calmly, "What's the hurry? The time hasn't arrived yet. Most of you guests also know the rules of our Li family. If the time isn't up, the clan meeting won't start."

  He was subtly ridiculed by Li Han, the three elders' faces turned slightly unsightly, he suddenly smiled gloomily and whispered: "Even if that waste can come, do you really expect him to become a Dou Zhe in just three months?"

  Upon hearing this, Li Han's face changed slightly. This Third Elder spoke without considering the occasion. Although most of those present were aware of the discord within the Li family, making things so blatant would ultimately not just lose him face alone.

  Li Han knew that in this situation, it was unnecessary to get angry with the three elders, so he just grunted and didn't say anything else.

  It was the three elders who saw Li Han's expression, but a hint of complacency surged in their hearts, and they couldn't help but reveal a sly smile on their faces.

  Li Han, Li Han! You're getting old after all. You're no longer the arrogant and ferocious person you used to be back in the day!

  As he thought about it, the three elders' eyes slowly drifted to the training ground, but as soon as their gaze fell, a faint hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

  On the edge of the training ground, Li Yi, wearing a white shirt, walked over with his eyes narrowed and a hint of interest. As he appeared, the crowd that had been somewhat noisy around him suddenly fell silent.

  For this Li Yishao, who has always been notorious for his arrogance and philandering, the young men and women in the arena have a complex mix of emotions towards him, including jealousy and disdain. Especially some members of the Li family who do not live in Wancheng City, when they see Li Yi appear, the disdain on their faces is almost impossible to conceal.

  If you weren't born into a noble family, with your kind of talent, you would have been kicked out of the house long ago!

  Almost everyone's mind had this idea at the same time.

  Those in the Li family at Wancheng, however, all remembered what had happened two months ago. They still looked down on Li Yi with disdain, but for some reason, the faint smile on his face made their hearts shrink slightly.

  Seeing the people around him with different expressions because of his appearance, Li Yi didn't have any expression. His eyes swept around in a circle and finally landed on a high platform in the center of the training field. If he wasn't mistaken, this clan gathering was probably going to let these young ones from the Li family go up there and show off their skills.

  Li Yi's gaze swept the scene, finally landing on the high platform in front of him. His eyes scanned the guests one by one, ultimately settling on Long Ao Tian. Seeing that Young Master Long Ao Tian was frowning slightly, Li Yi felt a sense of delight in his heart. It seemed that this Long Ao Tian had not been having an easy time lately. He wondered how the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group had managed to cause him trouble, what a sin...what a sin indeed...

  Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, Li Yi's eyes suddenly twitched slightly, and his gaze shifted again, falling on the two white-robed men who had almost been ignored by him earlier.

  For some reason, those two white-robed men who looked ordinary suddenly gave Li Yi a sense of danger.

  "It's them!?" A burst of astonishment echoed in Li Yi's mind.

  Li Yi withdrew his gaze without changing his expression and said in a low voice: "Old ghost, what's going on?"

  The Snake Deity fell silent for a moment before saying coldly, "Young one, I didn't expect that the Li family would have some ability after all. The identities of those two people in white robes are not simple at all."

  Li Yi frowned and said: "Not simple? What does it mean?"

  The Snake Deity let out a cold laugh and said calmly, "Do you think there's anyone who can make me look up to them? Those two white-robed men are the divine rods of the Fighting God Temple. Although they're only the lowest level, if I'm not mistaken, they're at least at the level of a Fighting Master... It's just that such characters have appeared in a family like yours. Kid, you'd better be careful today. If they notice anything, we'll both be finished!"

  Hearing the three words "Doushen Temple", Li Yi also shrank in his heart and said in a low voice: "What should we do now?"

  "What to do?" Snake Zun coldly laughed, "Just watch for now, in any case can't ruin our plan. If you lose the identity of the family heir, it's also a trouble. As for those two... if they're just here to observe, then try to establish some connection with them. If they're here to cause us trouble, find an opportunity to kill them. If we let them bring out other powerful beings, then the trouble will be even greater."

  Li Yi hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "But this Dou Shi level strong..."

  "Shé zūn zhě hēng le yī shēng dào: 'Xiǎo zǐ, bié nà me duō fèi huà, wǒ yǐ jìng shuō néng gòu shā le tāmen, nà me zì rán néng gòu ràng nǐ zàn shí yǒng yǒu nà zhǒng shí lì...... Nǐ hái shì wǒ ān xīn kǎo lǜ zōng zú dà huì de shì qíng, dòu shén diàn de shì qíng zàn shí yā hòu...... Xiǎo zǐ, sì hū shì nǐ de duì tóu lái le, wǒ gěi nǐ shōu shēng......'"

  As soon as the voice of the snake worshiper fell, a group of people came walking towards Li Yi with big laughs, and the first one was that Li Yu, the eldest brother of Li's family.

  It had been more than two months since they last met, and Li Jue's big brother seemed to have grown even more haggard. However, his smile was also more enthusiastic, but this enthusiasm couldn't hide a cold killing intent. He walked up to Li Yi and bowed slightly with a fake smile, saying lightly: "Li Yi, my younger brother, it's been a long time since we last met... you seem to have become even more formidable... I'm afraid that later on, I'll have to ask you to spare me, don't make your big brother lose face again..."

  Although this voice is dull, the taste of gritting one's teeth inside cannot be concealed no matter what.

  Li Yi also understood that with Li Jue's personality, it would be strange if he could forget those two slaps. At this moment, he also revealed a smile that was most suitable for his current identity and said in a soft voice: "Big brother, don't joke around, how could I, your younger brother, be your opponent? Please spare me."

  The two of them exchanged a glance, and it seemed as if sparks flew in the air, crackling with energy. Suddenly, they both burst out laughing...
