Chapter 12.1
The Hong family ranks third among the four major families in Jincheng. Hong Man and Li Pei also married for the benefit of the two families. Hong Man, who came from a family of warriors, was already a second-level innate warrior, only one level below Li Pei. Coupled with her gentle and generous temperament, she was highly respected in Li Mansion.
As the head matron of the Li Mansion, the courtyard where Hong Man lived was naturally different from others. It was an independent three-entry courtyard with a high-level protective array. Even strong men of the ninth level innate warrior couldn’t break in by force.
When Li Tianyan entered, Hong Man was already sitting at the main seat of the hall. An invisible sense of oppression enveloped Li Tianyan, making him frown slightly. It seemed that the difference between innate warriors and acquired warriors was significant.
After circulating spiritual power in his body, the pressure on Li Tianyan eased. He took a few steps forward, cupped his fists, and saluted, “I have met Madam.”
Hong Man was a little surprised by Li Tianyan’s reaction today but showed no emotion on her face. She motioned to the nanny beside her to serve tea and said, “Sit down.”
“Yesterday, I heard someone say that you went to the training ground to compete with others. It seems that your health is fully recovered. When did you start practicing martial arts? I haven’t heard you mention it before.” Hong Man asked Li Tianyan with a caring tone.
“I just learned a little bit; it’s not worth mentioning.” Li Tianyan sat down below Hong Man’s seat and spoke in a relaxed tone.
“You can injure Li Hong at least twice. It’s not superficial wounds. But Li Hong is your cousin, and your attack was too harsh.”
“Mother.” When Li Wan heard this, she stamped her feet in displeasure.
Hong Man only said to Li Tianyan, “Tianyan, don’t expect too much. Cheng’er went to Tianfan Immortal Sect and our Li Mansion benefited from it, Cheng’er spent a lot of money buying spiritual stones for cultivation. So, I don’t have much money here now.”
Li Tianyan thought for a while and considered that, although fifty taels were indeed a little less, it was still better than nothing. “Then thank you, madam.” He walked over to get it.
Returning with a hairpin and fifty taels of silver, Li Tianyan considered it quite a bargain. He took the silver, weighed it in front of Li Wan, then bid farewell to Madam Li and left.
.
As soon as Li Tianyan left, Li Wan held Hong Man’s hand unhappily and complained, “Mom, why are you so nice to him? Since someone wants his life, why did you save him?”
“What do you know, little girl? That woman Yin Rong is dead, but Li Tianyan dying easily is too cheap.” Hong Man would never forget when she was in labor, that woman Yin Rong used tricks to keep Li Pei with her.
Li Pei gave that concubine son the name Li Tianyan when he was born. Did he want him to continue the incense of the Li family? On the contrary, it was his Cheng’er who was obviously the legitimate son of the Li family, but Li Pei didn’t even take it seriously. And the name was just something he wrote down casually. If she hadn’t moved out his family’s power, Li Pei would never change it to Tiancheng in the end.
She wanted to keep Li Tianyan alive and showed Li Pei how his favorite son had become a waste. But the strange thing was Li Tianyan took red spiritual grass and was lucky enough not to become disabled. He looked like a normal person and could still go to the training ground to fight someone. Yet, she always felt that something was wrong here.
