He recognized it at a glance when he opened his mouth. The person in the portrait was none other than Li Xiaobai. The portrait was the same as the one Zong Hu showed him, but he didn't know why the head of the family also had a copy.
"That's right, dad, this is the child who was injured by this person. Now that the child's cultivation has been crippled, you still ask dad to avenge the child!"
He opened his mouth and stared at the portrait.
"Brother, take a closer look. This person is a distinguished guest invited by the second head of the Aolai Kingdom. I have no interest in knowing what happened between you and him. However, because of you, my Zhang family has been put at the forefront of the storm. "
"It will be very difficult for our Zhang family to go forward if we offend the distinguished guest of the second master."
The young man standing aside had a playful look in his eyes and said sarcastically.
He is the second son of the Zhang family, Zhang Xu, who has always been suppressed by Zhang Mou. Now that Zhang Mou has been abolished, he finally has a chance to stand out, and what he said is all the truth. The Zhang family is not a big family and has insufficient background. There is no capital to talk to people like the second master.
They can only rely on a big family like the Sima family for survival and development.
"Second brother, you..."
A look of resentment flashed in his eyes when he opened his mouth. He didn't expect that his second brother would turn against him so quickly. He really had a sinister heart.
He remembered that when he was very proud of himself, the other party was always trying to curry favor with her, and he still remembered that flattering smile to this day.
Looking at the cold and playful face in front of him, endless anger surged in his heart as he opened his mouth.
"Shut up!"
The middle-aged man on the high platform shouted angrily, his eyes filled with anger. He turned to look at the clan elders on the left and right and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
"Reporting to the head of the family, our position is not important. What is important is how the Situ family views this matter, or in other words, how the third master family should view it."
"At this juncture, the second master suddenly brought back a young genius and destroyed the cultivation of our disciples. Will such behavior involve a power struggle?"
"News has come from the Situ family. The position of the second master is unpredictable, but the news about Li Xiaobai was released by the third master. I think this is a signal. If we are attached to the Situ family, then we have to replace the third master. Find out the situation.”
"Now that I have a reason and purpose to contact Li Xiaobai, I am the only one from the Zhang family. Why don't we send some experts over to test this person's depth?"
A clan elder said that the second master suddenly brought back a genius. No one was sure what it meant. Was it a whim, or was it all the instructions of the first master?
Everything must be done down to the smallest detail.
"Yes, that's what I mean, but on the surface, we have nothing to do with the third master's family. This is purely because my son was deprived of his cultivation. As the head of the family, we must get his place back!"
"Xu'er, soon my father will select two clan elders to follow you and go to that clan's house to see how the boy is doing!"
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice that a mere clan sect dared to provoke his disciples of the Zhang family, and he was simply seeking his own destruction. If the young master of the Situ family had not fallen in love with the girl of the sect, he would have had the clan trampled upon him long ago. draw.
As for this mouth, its cultivation level is gone. Spending resources to bring it back to its peak is not worth the gain. Let it fend for itself.
By tilting resources towards Zhang Xu, I believe you can get higher returns.
"Yes, Xu'er will definitely seek justice for his eldest brother and will not disappoint his father!"
Zhang Xu was overjoyed, his father began to reuse him, and there was no chance of him turning around again.
Glancing at the pale-faced Zhang Mou, a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.
Brother, from now on just be an ordinary person!
…
Half an hour later, inside the Zong family's mansion.
Li Xiaobai picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, frowning slightly. It had no taste.
The little kid Zong Hu had already told the whole story about the cause and outcome of the incident. The faces of the Zong family and his wife were uncertain. From this point of view, it was entirely Zong Hu who caused the incident. On the contrary, it was Li Xiaobai who was implicated and suffered an unreasonable disaster.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes. They made up their minds not to let Li Xiaobai leave.
It is not a trivial matter for the young master of the Zhang family to be deposed. The Zhang family will definitely come to investigate. If Li Xiaobai has the ability to resist one or two, it is just right. If he does not have the ability, then he will be pushed out as a scapegoat, no matter what the reason is. Purpose, neither can let the other person leave.
"It turns out that Zong has misunderstood Mr. Li. I, the head of the Zong family, Zong Dao, will make amends to Mr. Li. Please don't take it to heart."
Zongdao looked solemn, cupped his fists and said seriously.
"If you don't mind me, why don't you stay at my clan's house for a night, so that we and my wife can show our gratitude to you for saving Hu'er's life."
The woman also said slightly apologetically.
"It's a small matter. Since you two have been kindly invited, I'll excuse you for disturbing me."
Li Xiaobai waved his hand and said lightly.
"Mom and Dad, this is..."
"It's you!"
The door of a wing room was pushed open, and a girl in a white dress walked out, rubbing her sleepy eyes. When she saw Li Xiaobai clearly, her eyes widened suddenly, with disbelief written on her face.
"Yao'er, do you know Mr. Li?"
Zongdao asked with some confusion.
"Dad, my child's jade Ruyi was bought from Mr. Li!"
The girl in the white dress said.
"I see."
The Zong family couple nodded, and the solemn look in their eyes became even more serious. They had heard about their daughter's stay at the port. There was a mysterious strong man who openly slapped the Situ family in the face and made them kneel down in public. This was no ordinary Liang Zi.
Unexpectedly, this god of plague was actually the one in front of him at this moment.
Having offended the Zhang family and the Situ family, his family might not be able to escape this disaster.
Li Xiaobai nodded. He already knew about Zong Yao's existence, but he didn't know who the sister Ya Ya was in Zong Hu's mouth. This little boy never talked about sister Ya Ya. He seemed to admire her very much, which made him feel a little bit. Interested.
"Why did senior show up at the Zong family?"
Zong Yao asked with wide eyes, with a hint of fear towards Li Xiaobai hidden in his eyes.
"Sister Yaoyao, this is the eldest brother I just met. He is a walking presence on the invincible road!"
Zong Hu held his head high and said proudly.
"Hu'er, don't be rude, Mr. Li is a nobleman of my clan!"
The middle-aged woman scolded a few words and was about to say something else when her expression suddenly changed.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of horse hooves in front of the Zongfu gate.
The wheels were rolling, the horses' hooves were neighing, and the ground was shaking slightly.
"If you dare to destroy the cultivation of the heirs of my Zhang family, the clan members will come out and be killed!"
A smile flashed in Li Xiaobai's eyes, and he was seeking revenge.
