Meeting with the Family Head

As expected of his brother-in-law. Every time he thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out.

“I have my own way of dealing with this matter. You just continue to keep an eye on Zhang Dagen’s whereabouts,” Qin Huai said in a low voice.

The news of him breaking through the ninth refinement and cultivating the white dragon force was not known to anyone. Everyone was still in the dark.

“But if you kill Zhang Dagen, the Zhang family will probably take revenge…” Li Buhu was a little scared.

“The Zhang family hasn’t attacked the Li family yet?” Qin Huai retorted, “Think about the disciples of the fourth branch. Think about the Li family’s monthly share.”

Li Buhu was speechless. What his brother-in-law said was indeed the truth. They were now submissive, but it did not seem to reduce the bullying.

Qin Huai stood up and walked out of the courtyard of the fourth branch. Then, he looked at the center of the courtyard and hesitated for a moment before walking straight to the center.

After talking to Li Buhu today, he felt that he wanted to help the Li family rise again and regain power.

He had to understand his father-in-law’s thoughts. He also wanted to test his true intentions.

The courtyard was not big. A two-story wooden building stood in the center, surrounded by cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks. The stench of chicken, cow, and sheep feces was neutralized by a strange fragrance.

The Li family disciples who were entering and leaving the courtyard were all surprised when they saw Qin Huai. This son-in-law had been in the Li family for three months, but it was his first time here.

“Hey, this is an important place for the Li family. Unauthorized people are not allowed to trespass!” A brawny man stood at the door and blocked Qin Huai’s way.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you to help me inform the head that his son-in-law, Qin Huai, has something important to discuss with him.”

“You wait here,” the burly man said and quickly walked into the room.

And then, he walked out very quickly. “The head said that he won’t see you.” Qin Huai frowned slightly when he heard this. He pretended to walk in, but the burly man immediately blocked Qin Huai’s path.

“Young Master, don’t make things difficult for me.” The burly man smiled bitterly.

Qin Huai was already ranked eleventh in Azure Dragon Pass. His terrifying combat strength was naturally not something he could withstand.

Furthermore, he had a good impression of Qin Huai. This was because his wife and child had benefited from Qin Huai’s hands before, so he had a good impression of him.

However… He was just a pawn.

“Then please help me inform him again.” Qin Huai looked at the burly man’s troubled expression and continued.

“Young Master, Old Master, he… He doesn’t really like you.”

“Yes, I know.” Qin Huai nodded.

Seeing Qin Huai’s firm attitude, the burly man didn’t say anything else. He turned around and walked in.

“Come in.”

Li Zeren’s voice came from upstairs.

“Young Master, please…” The burly man who had just walked into the building was delighted. He reminded him again, “Young Master, be careful with your words. Don’t make things awkward.”

“Thank you.” Qin Huai smiled and quickly walked up to the pavilion.

There were no wooden planks on the second floor, and it was unobstructed.

A middle-aged man with a clean face sat on a bamboo chair by the window, holding a local county chronicle of Lingjiang, “Lingjiang Landscape Record.”

Qin Huai walked in front of him. Li Zeren was still reading his book and had no intention of looking up at Qin Huai. “Master, what do you think of Zhang Dagen’s actions in the past two months?” Qin Huai went straight to the point. action

“Are you going to teach me how to do things?”

This sentence caused the atmosphere in the attic to be filled with gunpowder.

“I don’t dare to. I just feel that the Zhang family has wild ambitions. They definitely have no intention of coexisting with the Li family. If we blindly let them, I’m afraid the Li family will fall into eternal damnation,” Qin Huai said sincerely.

“Now, the Zhang family is like a frog being boiled in warm water. They are slowly wearing down the strength of the Li family and eating away at their hearts. If this goes on, I’m afraid the Li family won’t be able to rise again.”

Qin Huai always remembered the promise he made to Li Shaoxiang and the destiny she believed in.

In order to repay the person who saved his life, Qin Huai would do his best to help her resolve the knot in her heart.

Li Zeren put down the county journal in his hands and looked coldly at Qin Huai. “What? You think you can replace me after learning from Haoyue’s image and winning over the hearts of the people for two months? Do you think you have the ability to lead the younger generation of the Nine Dragons sect, or even the Nine Dragons Sect?”

Li Zeren sneered. “You can imitate Haoyue’s actions, but you can’t imitate his heart. You are too far behind him.”

Qin Huai frowned slightly, but he still said, “I’m afraid Zhang Haoyue is not as tolerant and kind as he appears to be.”

As Zhang Haoyue’s ‘friend,’ he had collected his experience points many times without fail.

Obviously, no matter how intimate the two were, it did not affect the experience points. This had never happened before.

The only explanation was that Zhang Haoyue’s friendliness toward him was all fake.

The so-called words of ‘the two of them working together to resolve the internal conflict between the Zhang and Li families and lead the Nine Dragons sect forward’ were just words used on the scene.

Li Zeren slowly stood up. His tall figure made him look down at Qin Huai.

“A person can pretend for a day, ten days, or even a year. However, he definitely can’t be as gentle and humble as he has been for more than ten years, treating people like close friends and relatives.

“And… If a person has been pretending for more than ten years, or even his entire life, then it doesn’t matter if he’s pretending or not.”

Li Zeren looked at Qin Huai coldly.

“I originally thought that you were talented and hardworking. Although you’re not as good as Haoyue, Xiang’er didn’t misjudge you.”
