203 Qin Huai’s Trump Card?
“But now… How dare you publicly slander the eldest senior brother whom everyone in the sect loves and respects? Questioning the character of a Nine Dragons Sect’s eldest senior brother?” Li Zeren’s voice gradually increased.
“If Zhang Haoyue is really like this, then how do you explain letting Zhang Dagen go?”
“What does Zhang Dagen’s fault have to do with Haoyue? In the future, if Haoyue takes power, the Zhang and Li families will definitely return to the right path, and the original opposition will naturally disappear.”
Qin Huai was speechless when he heard Li Zeren’s words. He found it hard to believe that these words actually came from the mouth of the dignified Li family’s patriarch.
Li Zeren actually liked Zhang Haoyue so much. It was no wonder that the third and fifth branches dared to openly mock the fourth branch.
Qin Huai took a deep breath.
It was also because Zhang Haoyue had hidden himself too well, so much so that it was inevitable that they would not suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes was Zhang Haoyue.
However…
Now, even the Li family’s patriarch had such firm faith in Zhang Haoyue. It seemed that it was unrealistic to seek the support of the Li family’s patriarch to give him more confidence in his actions.
“You should leave quickly. You’re annoying me.” Li Zeren waved his hand and concluded, “You will never be Haoyue.”
He immediately chased Qin Huai away.
Qin Huai took a deep breath, cupped his fists, and left silently.
He naturally did not hate Li Zeren’s attitude. After all, if he had not agreed to let Li Shaoxiang stay in the Nine Dragons Sect, he would probably have been reincarnated by now.
It could only be said that Li Zeren had been brainwashed by Zhang Haoyue. He was completely fooled by his superb acting skills.
However, this was not a problem. All disguises would be torn apart by powerful strength.
Qin Huai walked out of the loft.
“Please wait, Son-in-law.”
Suddenly, a kind-looking middle-aged butler blocked Qin Huai’s path.
“You are… from Second Uncle’s residence?” Qin Huai recalled this person’s identity.
“That’s right.” The butler was all smiles.” Second Master would like to invite you to the residence for a gathering.”
The image of the second master appeared in Qin Huai’s mind. This second master rarely walked around the Li family manor. Even if it was a family meeting or a sect meeting, he would not make a sound.
He just watched silently. For most of the Zhang family’s suggestions, the second branch only had one answer. He didn’t listen, didn’t do, and didn’t cooperate.
Everyone knew that he was the most determined hardliner. However, he had been keeping a low profile for the time being because he was alone in the Nine Dragons sect and even the Li family.
“Then I’ll have to trouble the butler to lead the way.” Qin Huai smiled. It seemed like there was a silver lining.
When he walked into the courtyard of the second branch, the surroundings would ring out with a few scattered ‘son-in-law.’
In the study, Qin Huai met the second master of the Li family, Li Zewu.
This second uncle had the appearance of a refined scholar. His long hair fell over his shoulders, and his skin was smooth. It was just that the muscles in his open chest were so strong that they made people feel a little dazed.
“This boy Qin Huai greets Second Uncle.” Qin Huai cupped his fists.
“Hahaha… Young Master is treating me as an outsider. Why should I be polite when meeting my own family?” Li Zewu quickly got up and pulled a chair over to press Qin Huai down enthusiastically.
“Second Uncle is right.” Qin Huai also smiled. “I wonder why Second Uncle called me here? ”
“Does Son-in-law really not know?” Li Zewu had a playful expression.
“I have some guesses, but I don’t quite understand. Please enlighten me, Second Uncle,” Qin Huai said truthfully.
Li Zewu pondered for a moment and slowly said, “You’ve been different since you entered the sect.
“You can be said to be the center of attention. The Li family hates you, and the Zhang family wants to kill you… My big brother even sent Shaoxiang away, leaving you alone and helpless.
“However, you still managed to turn the situation around so easily. Your talent is very good. Just as my niece said, you have the chance to become the key to turning the situation around for my Li family.”
Li Zewu stood up and personally poured a cup of tea for Qin Huai.
The two of them sat in the study and chatted.
“But the most important thing is that you saw it clearly! You can see through the Zhang family’s thoughts very clearly! Knowing that they have ill intentions, I didn’t approach them. This seems simple… However, it’s not common in the Li family now.”
Li Zewu couldn’t help but sigh. The current Li family had already been infiltrated by the Zhang family and was riddled with holes. He didn’t even know how many people had the surname Li and were concerned about the safety of the Zhang family.
“You even helped the fourth branch on the right path. That’s why I’ve been paying attention to you and the fourth branch… Then, I found out that Fourth Brother recently sent people to follow Zhang Dagen. They followed him very frequently.
“In addition to the stupid things that Zhang Dagen has done recently, you went to look for Li Zeren for the first time today.” Li Zewu paused for a moment before returning to the main storyline. “I think the son-in-law is going to make a big move.”
“Is it that obvious?” Qin Huai asked.
“Others might not be, but Son-in-law, their actions were too swift and violent. The Green Feather Tower’s attack and September Hook’s trip could be said to be killing without blinking… This has made many of the Zhang family members feel as if they are sitting on pins and needles.” Li Zewu smiled.
The killing of Wu Zian seemed to be nothing, but it had actually attracted the attention of all the important figures in the sect and even Lingjiang. The calmness of killing three to four hundred people without even blinking shocked them.
This was also the reason why Li Zewu thought highly of Qin Huai and took the initiative to look for him.
“It’s just a means of self-defense,” Qin Huai explained calmly.
He didn’t want to kill too many people, but if they didn’t die, he would be in a lot of trouble. Besides, they wouldn’t leave after hearing a few words from Qin Huai. It could be said that he had no choice but to eliminate these threats.
Zhang Dagen was the same. This person did not have any scruples in his actions. If he was not eliminated now, he would definitely become a great disaster. It was difficult to say what he would do.
“Hehe… If Son-in-law says so, then take it as such.” Li Zewu didn’t mind. “That good-for-nothing son of mine is always wandering outside, looking for opportunities and strength to topple the Zhang family. Those people are quite prejudiced against our second branch.
“Anyway, there are many old people in the house who have nothing to do. If there’s anything they can help with, just tell them to do it. We can’t let them cultivate their bodies all day long, right?”
“Then how about the price?” Qin Huai said in a low voice. “You still have to settle accounts with your own brothers.”
Li Zewu immediately became serious. “If Son-in-law asks someone to work, I’ll pay Son-in-law 200 taels!”
“Two hundred taels is fine too… Hmm?” Qin Huai was taken aback. “Second Uncle is giving me two hundred taels?”
“It’s so difficult to earn these days, so it’s already good enough! My second family is not rich, so please don’t complain that I gave you too little money.”
