186 The September Hook War

Late at night, in the Li family’s study, Li Zeren was still reading the letter with the lights on. The table was filled with news about the situation at the front line.

Behind him, Li Zeshi was excitedly recounting what had happened today.

“So you’re saying that the Zhang family is deliberately interfering and working with the county governor’s to murder Qin Huai? And Zhang Haoyue is the culprit?” Li Zeren looked up impatiently at his younger brother.

“Zetao also said that Zhang Haoyue’s trusted aide had met Wu Zian in private. Coincidentally, it was Wu Zian who led his men to assassinate Qin Huai in the slums today.

!!

“How can this matter not be related to Zhang Haoyue?!”

“Big Brother, don’t forget that he’s Zhang Wu’s legitimate son, the next head of the Zhang family. He’s like fire and water with us!” Li Zeshi’s eyes were filled with rage.

He didn’t know what bewitching potion this big brother had been fed, but he actually trusted Zhang Haoyue so much.

“Zeshi, I think you’re a little biased.” Li Zeren took out a letter and threw it to Li Zeshi. “Haoyue, this kid, blocked a sword strike from a bone pattern realm warrior for Li Gaohuai at September Hook.

“That sword strike was only an inch away from his heart! If it wasn’t for Haoyue’s formidable strength, I’m afraid he would have lost his life there.”

Li Zeren’s voice became more and more shocked. “Tell me, would such a person do such a dirty thing? Haoyue doesn’t care about the Zhang or Li families. He only cares about the Nine Dragons sect. His way of thinking is different from yours and most people’s!”

Hearing Li Zeren’s confident voice, Li Zeshi looked at the letter in his hand and was speechless.

“In the future, don’t bring this kind of groundless guess to me.” Li Zeren’s voice lowered as he covered his forehead and sighed.

“I’m sorry, Big Brother.” Li Zeshi gritted his teeth.

He knew that it was useless for him to say anything more. His big brother completely trusted Zhang Haoyue, and no matter how much he said, it wouldn’t help.

“Qin Huai, that brat, might be quite talented. He might even be on par with Haoyue. But in terms of personality, structure, state of mind, ambition, he’s miles away from Haoyue,” Li Zeren said slowly.

He continued, “Shaoxiang’s mother died early. I spoiled her too much, which led her to be so willful now. She listened to the nonsense of the old priest of the Green Cloud Temple.

“But Zeshi, you are different. You are the pillar of the Li family. You must distinguish right from wrong.”

He patted Li Zeshi’s shoulder earnestly. “I know that Qin Huai passed down a technique to Buhu, but this is only a small benefit. Don’t lose your position because of this…”

“Got it, Big Brother.” Li Zeshi cupped his fists and listened to Li Zeren’s teachings from the beginning to the end.

Finally, he slowly retreated. He shook his head and looked at his brother, who had been working hard by the window, feeling helpless.

“Big Brother’s bias is already a little obvious.”

Li Shaoxiang was wearing a red dress. She walked towards the brightly lit bedroom with her slender legs and supper in her hands.

She had just returned today and had meticulously prepared a supper to give her husband a surprise.

Then, she saw Qingshui and a few maidservants hiding behind a round beam, pinching their noses.

“What are you doing here?” Li Shaoxiang knocked Qingshui’s head and smiled at everyone.

When the maidservants saw Li Shaoxiang, their expressions changed drastically. All of them lowered their heads in fear, not daring to make eye contact with her.

Although the young miss was smiling, her smile was so beautiful that it could not be compared to anything else. However, everyone still felt that it was terrifying. It was as if the coldness emitted from her bones.

Li Shaoxiang greeted them and was about to go over.

“Miss… We can’t go there.” Qingshui hurriedly pulled Li Shaoxiang back. “The son-in-law has instructed that no one is allowed to approach the bedroom.”

“Why? Who’s inside?” Li Shaoxiang looked in the direction of the bedroom in surprise.

“It’s the son-in-law and Young Master Buhu. The two of them have been in the bedroom for several hours.”

Li Shaoxiang was deep in thought. “Perhaps my husband is doing something big. I’ll go and take a look…”

She then walked to the bedroom. Just as she reached the door, she heard a commotion from inside.

“Brother-in-law, this is so big. I can’t take it.”

“You’ll get used to it.”

“Brother-in-law! This won’t do! It’s too big, and the taste is too strong. I really can’t eat it. Wuuuu.”

Bang!

Li Shaoxiang pushed open the door.

Whoosh!

A burst of colorful dust surged, instantly causing Li Shaoxiang to cough lightly. She struggled to open her eyes and looked at the scene in the room.

There were bottles and jars on the ground, and Li Buhu, who had a very beautiful expression on his face. Qin Huai was grabbing his face with one hand and stuffing a black pill into his mouth.

“Husband, what are you doing?” Li Shaoxiang stared blankly at the scene before her.

“Buhu insisted on pestering me to learn poison techniques, so I beat him up. I didn’t expect that his talent was not enough, and his hands and feet were too stupid to make a mess. That’s why I let him use his body to nurture poison. Cultivating a body that is immune to poison can be considered a success.”

Qin Huai looked at Li Shaoxiang, whom he had not seen for more than half a month, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. “Miss, why did you suddenly come back?”

Li Shaoxiang passed through the dust and frowned. “The September Hook War didn’t go too well. I thought we could get rid of the Sacred Heart sect members who dared to offend the Nine Dragons sect in ten days, but I didn’t expect the number of their members to be so large this time. I’m afraid we’ll have to think about it carefully, so I returned for now.”

“Sister Shaoxiang…” Li Buhu scratched his head and smiled foolishly at Li Shaoxiang.
