1123: Chapter 1117: The Dust Settles 1123: Chapter 1117: The Dust Settles But he would not remind those in the family that the Huang Family, as it stands, is not much different from the Li Family now, except for one crucial difference: the legitimate eldest son of the Huang Family is still present, and for Huang Yingjie to gain power within the family, the challenges were insurmountably nurous.
So at this mont, even if he were to relay the news about the Li Family back to his own clan, it would have no effect on the Huang Family.
Having already forged a connection with Cheng Hui, Huang Yinghao was past the point of no return, as he would never willingly give up everything he had acquired.
Huang Yingjie was no fool; of course, he too desired power.
In the past, he didn’t harbor many ambitions, simply because he knew he had no chance of obtaining it.
But now things were different.
With Brother Changlin’s support, aspiring to beco the Family Head of the Huang Family was rely a matter of ti.
In fact, should Brother Changlin be willing to cultivate him earnestly and once the Nine Yang Divine Art, along with the aid of the Holy Fruit and the Grass Revival Pill, were imparted to him, he believed that within a few years, he could beco a figure of great stature like the revered elder Li Haoge of the Li Family.
By then, who in the Huang Family would dare to defy him?
Huang Yingjie’s heart was brimming with longing and hope.
Li Changlin looked at his clansn and went to greet each family with a smile.
At this ti, Li Guorui and Li Chengde had approached his side, introducing to him every attendee of the family.
Of course, those present were but a re tenth, or even less, of the entire Li Family.
Many high-ranking mbers had their own affairs to tend to, and a number of core family mbers had yet to return.
The ceremony for Li Changlin to recognize his ancestry and officially join the clan was scheduled for tomorrow, with many set to arrive ho later in the evening.
After acquainting with dozens of family mbers, Jiang Yiyun, who was standing aside, could not help but speak up: “It’s not really appropriate to just stand around outside.
Let’s go inside first.”
“Right, right, what Sister Jiang said makes sense.” Even though Jiang Yiyun was actually much younger than Li Chengde, he felt deep gratitude towards her for raising his son for twenty years, and hence held himself with great humility in her presence.
Hearing Jiang Yiyun’s voice, the other Li Family clansn quickly echoed her suggestion.
After all, eight corpses still lay in the martial training ground at this ti, and while these individuals were disciples of families affiliated with the Li Family, their presence was ultimately dampening the atmosphere.
“Changlin, you should go back now and have a chat with your parents, but you still have to stay in the ancestral hall overnight.
After the ceremony tomorrow, you can do as you please,” Li Haoge worried that Li Changlin might act rashly and hurriedly reminded him.
Li Changlin naturally agreed, as it was a rule of Li Changlin’s to follow.
“We’ll be leaving first then, Changlin.
Rest well.”
“See you tomorrow, Brother Changlin.”
“Well done, Changlin.
We all support you.”
“That’s great, from now on our Li Family no longer needs to be cautious around the other Seven Great Families!”
“Who would have thought Brother Changlin has reached the Early Stage of Virtual Energy?
And he can even hold his ground against the elder ancestor!”
“Hold his ground?
It seems like the elder ancestor is not even a match for Brother Changlin!”
The murmurs around whispered softly, and one by one, they dispersed.
Li Haoge, too, heard these words, but not only was he not angry, he even revealed a trace of a smile on his face.
When the younger generation of the Family surpasses their predecessors, it signals the nurturing of excellence that truly outshines the old.
This is cause for celebration, for Li Haoge was not so stubbornly conservative.
Afterwards, Li Haoge and Li Guorui bid farewell to Li Changlin, each of them leaving on their separate ways.
In the blink of an eye, only Li Changlin and his entourage remained at the training ground, along with the mother and daughter Jiang Yiyun and Qiu Yingying, and Li Chengde.
As for the corpses on the ground, naturally, clan mbers who had left would take them away.
There would be follow-up matters to attend to, but these were no longer concerns for Li Changlin.
“Changlin, let’s go ho!” Looking at his outstanding son, Li Chengde, although usually as steady as a mountain, felt a tinge of nervousness at this mont.
Li Changlin smiled and nodded, then reached out to help his mother, Jiang Yiyun, as he gave Chen Mingjiang a aningful look.
Chen Mingjiang got the hint and hurriedly ran to open the car door, while Huang Yingjie gestured with his hand, calling out, “Get in the car!”
At this mont, Huang Yingjie had undoubtedly reevaluated his own position.
Now that Li Changlin had beco the future Successor to the Li Family Head, he would effectively beco his Family Head.
Huang Yingjie was dead set on controlling the Huang Family, and naturally, he wanted to closely follow in Brother Changlin’s footsteps.
All the mbers of the party got into the cars.
Li Changlin, Jiang Yiyun, Li Chengde, and Qiu Yingying sat in the sa vehicle, with Huang Yingjie usurping Zhou Jian’s duty, personally driving for Li Changlin, thus expressing his loyalty.
Li Chengde watched with a bit of amusent in his heart, but since it was Li Changlin’s business, even as a father, he would definitely not interfere with whom his son chose to associate.
The four cars drove slowly and soon arrived at Li Chengde’s residence.
Fu Mandie had already personally organized her son’s room in advance, but she was still at the ancestral hall’s Buddhist shrine performing her devotions and had not returned.
“Yingjie, go to the shrine and bring my mother back,” Li Changlin told Huang Yingjie without treating him like an outsider.
Upon entering the hall and learning that his mother was still at the shrine, he instructed Huang Yingjie to go and fetch her quickly.
Huang Yingjie agreed; without even sitting down, he imdiately turned and left the house.
Li Chengde nodded with a smile.
“Mother, how do you feel now?” Helping Jiang Yiyun to sit on the couch, Li Changlin took a seat beside her.
Jiang Yiyun replied with a gentle smile, “I’m fine, truly fine.
Mother feels not a single ailnt now, I’m very well.”
Of course she was well; after all, it was the precious Blue Bottle Potion.
Even if Jiang Yiyun had but a single breath left, that potion could revive her.
Li Chengde was oblivious, repeatedly asking if she should go for a hospital check-up, or perhaps call the Family’s doctor to co over for an examination.
Jiang Yiyun declined the kind offer, knowing her own condition well.
She was currently pain-free and knew her son must have given her so miraculous dicine.
Knowing his mother was indeed fine, Li Changlin couldnaturally feel happy.
The family settled down for a quiet chat, and soon the topic drifted towards Li Changlin’s cultivation.
Pouting, Qiu Yingying said with frustration, “Brother, you have to teach martial arts too.
I don’t want to be bullied again!”
The previous events had been truly perilous.
If it hadn’t been for the fortunate circumstance of Li Changlin returning today, and the fact that Qiu Yingying had set his number as her ergency contact, the outco would have been dire.
Li Changlin could naturally understand his sister’s feelings, so he agreed to Qiu Yingying’s request repeatedly.
In his heart, he had already decided that even if it ant using Skill Cards for his sister, he would make sure she grew stronger.
