Chapter 498: Chapter 495: There is a Loquat Tree in the Courtyard!【Second Update】

"Look quickly, Miss Li Wan’er of the Li Family has come out!"

"Li Wan’er, her temper is not very good. Now someone has dared to smash their family’s door, this is really going to be a good show!"

While this group of young men and women were talking, a tall and beautiful young lady with delicate makeup, escorted by two Transformation Realm Masters, came out from inside.

When she saw who dared to smash the door, she was surprised to find it was Li Chen.

"Why is it you?"

Li Chen retorted, "Why can it not be me?"

Li Wan’er, looking at the door that Li Chen had smashed with a punch, exclaimed, "Then why did you smash our door?"

Li Chen said, "I didn’t like the look of it, just felt like smashing it!"

Li Wan’er covered her forehead with her hand, speechless.

Not liking the look of it, and you just smash our door, isn’t that too capricious?

"Boy, I don’t like the look of you right now either, can I smash your head in?"

A Transformation Realm Master stepped forward, seeing how arrogant Li Chen was, and immediately flew into a rage.

Li Chen glanced at him from the corner of his eye and coldly said, "You can try, but I’m afraid you’re not qualified!"

The Transformation Realm Master furiously stepped forward, wishing to give Li Chen a harsh lesson.

He swung his fists like raging waves, the violent True Yuan causing the surrounding air to crackle and bang.

But Li Chen remained calm as if unfazed by the storm, just quietly watching the other party.

Only when he got close did Li Chen raise his two fingers to meet him.

His fingers were like lightning, his force like thunder. Even though the opponent was a Transformation Realm Master, he was shocked into spitting blood on the spot.

Immediately, everyone’s faces drastically changed, as if having seen a ghost in broad daylight, they stared blankly at Li Chen.

Li Chen glanced sideways at the Transformation Realm Master and said coldly, "I said, you’re not qualified to crush my head!"

"Clank, clank, clank!"

That was the sound of bullets being loaded, ready to turn this young man into a sieve the moment Li Chen took another step forward or upon Miss Li Wan’er’s command.

This time, Li Chen was not here to cause trouble.

So, when he heard the sound of the guns being cocked, he immediately stopped.

"Li Wan’er, where is your father, I want to see him?"

Before Li Wan’er could answer, a deep male voice came from inside.

"On such a festive day, you want to see me, was it necessary to smash my door?"

Upon seeing who it was, everyone present became solemn.

Xing Zhong and the Transformation Realm Master, both filled with shame, stepped forward to apologize.

Li Lingtian waved his hand and said, "It’s not your fault, step back."

After speaking, he then turned to the guards who were on full alert and said, "All of you, put your weapons down."

"I didn’t like the look of this door, so I smashed it, I assume you won’t blame me, uncle?"

When saying the word "uncle," Li Chen especially emphasized it.

Then, his gaze, sharp as lightning, fixed firmly on Li Lingtian’s expression.

Even the high-positioned, ever-composed Li Lingtian trembled slightly upon hearing this presumptuous address from Li Chen.

He had long anticipated this day, but had not expected it to come this soon, and was momentarily caught off guard.

Hearing the address "uncle," Li Wan’er was also shocked, her face full of disbelief.

"Uncle? Are you the son of my second uncle?"

Li Chen did not answer, but just quietly watched Li Lingtian.

Li Lingtian forced a smile and said, "Li Chen, so you already knew!"

Li Chen sneered silently. Although he did not know the specific details of what happened in the past, he could guess the general idea.

This enormous Li Family, was watching their own son, their own brother, walk towards death.

"I know the purpose of your visit today. This is not the place to talk, come with me, I will take you to see your great-grandfather, he will tell you everything you want to know."

Having said this, Li Lingtian made a gesture of invitation towards Li Chen, signaling him to enter first.

Li Chen, not feeling like an outsider, walked in with large strides.

From a distance, Xing Zhong, upon seeing this scene, almost had his eyeballs pop out of shock.

He came hobbling over and asked, "General, this..."

Before Xing Zhong could finish his question, Li Lingtian glared at him fiercely.

"You should not ask what you shouldn’t. Xing Zhong, haven’t you been following me for so many years? How come you still don’t understand these rules?"

Xing Zhong, frightened out of his wits, hurriedly slapped himself and kept apologizing.

Seeing Li Lingtian was no longer angry, he then gathered enough courage and, pointing at the broken door, cautiously asked, "General, our door..."

"Have a new one custom-made, and yes, go to Yan Mountain and get some armored steel plates to fill it in. I refuse to believe this youngster can penetrate steel plates too!"

After saying that, Li Lingtian also entered through the door, just leaving Xing Zhong petrified on the spot.

From the words of his own general, could it be that the young man who entered just now might break the door again?

What exactly is the identity of the person who could make the dignified Family Head of the Li Family, the empire’s General, so powerless?

Xing Zhong racked his brain but couldn’t come up with an explanation. He just shook his head and summoned some equally baffled subordinates to start fixing the door.

Meanwhile, the young men and women who were watching from a distance, ready to enjoy the spectacle, felt like petrified stones.

Beating up the Li Family’s people, smashing the door, and even hurting Miss Li Wan’er’s bodyguard, yet in the end, when Great General Li Lingtian came out, he respectfully welcomed him inside?

Their eyeballs and jaws dropped to the ground, faces filled with disbelief.

Some girls, considering themselves somewhat attractive, started to daydream, watching Li Chen’s retreating figure with adoration.

"Wow, he’s so handsome, if only he could be my boyfriend!"

"Don’t you already have a boyfriend?"

"How can he compare to this guy who smashed the Li Family’s gate and even had General Li personally welcome him? That’s simply domineering like no other!"

"Eh, Zhangbei, why are you kneeling on the ground, shivering?"

...

Meanwhile, Li Lingtian had already led Li Chen into the Li Family’s backyard.

This place was considered forbidden territory for the Li Family; even a direct descendant like Li Wan’er could not enter without permission, let alone others.

After entering the backyard, there were rows of loquat trees, numbering over a hundred of various sizes.

Each tree had a name carved into it, all belonging to direct descendants of the Li Family, seemingly arranged according to generational seniority.

Li Chen stopped to look and found the loquat tree with Li Lingtian’s name. Next to it, there was another tree with the name scraped off, likely belonging to his father, Li Lingyun.

Li Lingtian noticed Li Chen’s puzzlement and pointed at the row of loquat trees, saying, "This area of Pipa Forest is your great-grandfather’s treasure. The largest tree was planted by your great-grandmother herself!"

"From now on, whenever a child is born into the direct lineage of the Li Family, a loquat tree will be planted here. The trees of your father and I were both planted by your grandmother. After your father’s incident, your grandmother pined away in grief and soon passed away as well!"

Hearing Li Lingtian’s explanation, Li Chen remained silent.

"Court has loquat trees, planted by my wife the year she died, now tall and broad like a canopy."

These words, from Gui Youguang mourning his late wife in "Xiang Jixuan’s Record", were quite fitting and appropriate for this place.

One could tell that the old gentleman was still a man of deep love and honor.

What exactly happened back then, that could make such a deeply loving old gentleman watch his own direct grandson walk towards death and do nothing?
