Hearing his father's voice, Li Yuanchen suddenly seemed to come back to life. He shouted in the yard, "Dad, I'm here. Dad, help me!"
The people in the Li family's yard suddenly became nervous.
It could be said that his heart had jumped to his throat.
Li Yin, the director of the Ministry of Labour, was a top noble figure in the Dongsheng Continent.
Usually, even a casual word from him could determine the life and death of countless people.
Such a big shot had actually come.
Oh no, oh no.
This kind of person was alarmed and came with anger. Today's matter was probably going to be very troublesome.
Bang!
The gate of the courtyard, which was already open, was directly smashed.
Two rows of Heavenly Generals in bright armor rushed in fiercely and surrounded all the people in the courtyard. Their killing intent was boiling, and their swords and spears flashed with cold light.
"Kneel, or die!"
An immortal general clad in golden immortal armor shouted.
The relatives and friends in the courtyard were scared out of their wits. They trembled and knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
Only Li Mu and Wuyue remained standing.
The Heavenly Generals were well-trained and controlled the scene.
"Uncle Xu, I'm here, help me …"
When Li Yuanchen saw the golden-armored Heavenly General, he screamed as if he had seen his savior.
This golden-armored Heavenly General was Xu Zhen, a retainer of the Si family. He had been assisting the Si family for hundreds of years and was considered a top figure on the entire Meteor Island.
"Ah, Young Master Chen, you …" He went over to help Li Yuanchen up. When he saw the injury on his leg, he was so angry that his body trembled.
Unforgivable.
On this Meteor Island, there was someone who dared to hurt Li Yuanchen so seriously?
Xu Zhen glanced at Li Mu and said, "Did you do it?"
Li Mu sneered and said nothing.
It was easy to see the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with.
"Well, no one can save you today. Guards …" Xu Zhen sneered.
At this moment —
Li Yin, one of the directors of the Ministry of Labour, finally walked in from the gate surrounded by several guards.
The appearance of the director of the Ministry of Labour was naturally not small.
On the way, Li Yin's heart was boiling with anger and killing intent.
It had been a long, long time since anyone dared to provoke their family like this.
This time, someone had actually injured his son and even threatened to wait for the Si family to use their connections to see who could suppress the matter.
How was this beating his son?
This was clearly a slap to his face.
Putting aside the fact that Li Yuanchen was his only son who was doted on in every possible way, even he, Li Yin, could not afford to lose face.
It looked like he had been keeping a low profile for too long recently. Some of the people on Meteor Island had forgotten how terrifying he, Li Yin, was.
It was a good opportunity to show his claws and teeth and let his political enemies know that he, Li Yin, was not a pushover.
With this in mind, Li Yin entered the Li family compound.
"Who injured my son today … Eh?"
Li Yin, full of killing intent and arrogance, entered the yard. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Li Mu standing in the yard.
His heart skipped a beat, and the anger in his heart immediately dissipated.
Others might not know Li Mu, but he did.
On the day when the Great Immortal Master held a celebration banquet for Li Mu, Li Yin was fortunate enough to attend. Together with the other leaders of the Institute of Cultural Studies, they went to toast Li Mu. That was enough for him to brag about, even though he was not even qualified to speak on that day.
As soon as he saw Li Mu here, Li Yin immediately realized something.
A great sense of crisis instantly enveloped his heart.
The Ministry of Labour.
What did the Ministry of Labour do?
It was a fierce wolf who specialized in hunting for traitors and suppressing dissidents.
In the Immortal Court, except for the Great Immortal Master, who was not afraid of the Ministry of Labour?
The new chief of the Ministry of Labour was a favorite of the Great Immortal Master, Dongfang Yeren, and many people privately called him the loyal dog of the Great Immortal Master. His actions often represented the will of the Great Immortal Master.
What happened today …
Did the Great Immortal Master target the Si family?
If the Ministry of Labour wanted to take action, they would definitely make up a basket of charges.
Was this a sign that they were going to take action against him?
These terrible thoughts flashed in Li Yin's mind in an instant, making him feel a little weak at the knees. In great shock and horror, Li Yin even forgot to come forward and salute Li Mu.
His uncertain expression caused the others to misunderstand him.
Xu Zhen thought that his Lord Li Yin was angry because he saw his son heavily injured. He didn't dare to be negligent and shouted, "Men, take down these two wild dogs. If they resist, kill them without mercy."
The Celestial Generals were about to make a move.
At this time, Li Yin finally came to his senses.
"Fight?"
"Are they courting death?"
"Stop, stop … Who dares to be rude? Are they courting death?" Li Yin shouted in panic and hurriedly rushed over. He kicked away a Celestial General who raised his sword at Li Mu, and then hurriedly saluted Li Mu.
"Your humble servant Li Yin pays respect to Lord Leader."
Li Yin bowed respectfully and saluted.
His posture was extremely humble.
In an instant, the atmosphere changed without warning.
The space in the whole yard froze. Time stopped, and space was frozen.
Everyone except Wu Yue was stunned.
Some people thought they had seen it wrong and subconsciously rubbed their eyes.
But they did not see it wrong.
Li Yin was indeed a top-notch dignitary, but he was like a lowly slave immortal. In front of the white-robed young man, he bent his proud back and lowered his proud head, just like a slave greeting his master.
Xu Zhen was stunned.
The Celestial Generals were stunned.
The relatives and friends of the Li family in the yard were also stunned.
Great waves were set off in their hearts, but the expressions on their faces were uniformly frozen. They were fixed in an expression that was between disbelief and extreme shock, as if they were statues. Their muscles were stiff, and they were unable to make any other changes.
Li Mu snorted coldly.
This cold snort made Li Yin's heart beat wildly.
"Master Kuang came very quickly," he said calmly.
Li Yin's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "I didn't know Lord Leader was here. I … I really deserve to die."
He felt bitter in his heart.
He really could not explain or evade this matter.
"Father, you …" At this time, Li Yuanchen also realized that something was wrong. It seemed that he had provoked a great person.
But how was it possible?
Such a young guy was more distinguished than his father?
Slap!
Li Yin slapped Li Yuanchen's face backhandedly.
He actually did not know what was going on.
On the way here, Li Yin did not ask his son what he had done at all.
Anyway, he had been used to Li Yuanchen's behavior over the years. Li Yin did not care if he provoked some people who were not worth mentioning. Anyway, he could help his son deal with them in the end.
But now …
Let's fight first.
"My son is ignorant and offended Lord Leader. He really deserves to die. Please forgive me, Lord Leader."
Li Yin slapped his son, squeezed out a smile, and pleaded with Li Mu.
Li Mu said calmly, "It's not me that your son offended."
Li Yin was stunned.
Li Mu said lightly, "Your Excellency, figure out the situation first, and then talk to me."
"Yes, I will."
Li Yin smiled awkwardly.
Then, he turned around and glanced at Li Yuanchen. The latter looked aggrieved and wanted to say something, but Li Yin directly shouted, "Shut up." He went to the side of a Heavenly General who usually followed his son and asked for the whole story.
At this time, the Heaven General was also in a panic.
Seeing how terrifying the white-shirted young man's status was, he no longer dared to add fuel to the fire, and explained everything that had happened to Qin Nan.
After hearing that, Li Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that it was not the Great Immortal Master or other political enemies who wanted to deal with him.
It was really this unfilial son who caused the trouble.
Li Yin was also a very straightforward person. At this time, he probably had an idea in mind. He turned back and said to Li Mu, "Lord Leader, I failed to teach my son well. I'm really ashamed to have done such an outrageous thing."
Li Mu did not say anything.
Li Yin went to Wu Yue and said, "I've also heard of General's prestige and have always admired you. I didn't expect to meet you in this way today. I'm really ashamed. General Wu, don't worry. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
After that, he directly pressed Li Yuanchen down and gave him a good beating.
"Ah, dad, spare me, dad …"
Li Yuanchen cried miserably as if he was being tortured.
The father and son cooperated very well.
Li Mu squinted at them and did not say a word.
Poor acting skills.
"That's enough." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Is it useful to play this trick in front of me?" He directly threw an immortal sword in front of Li Yin and said with a sneer, "If you really think that he has done evil, why don't you do justice for heaven? Just one sword and everything will be over. "
Li Yin's eyelids twitched.
"You really don't give me face."
"I only have one son. I …" Li Yin squeezed out a smile and explained.
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Li Zhenjian also only has one daughter, but she was almost killed by your son … I don't want to hear so much nonsense from you. You know what the Punishment Mansion does. Now that Wu Yue is my man, how should we end this matter? Manager Li, tell me."
Li Yin thought for a moment and hurriedly said, "I will immediately send someone to invite Li Zhenjian over and promote him to the chief of the mine pit. In the future, he won't have to go down the well. Miss Li Ying will take charge of the Weaving Girls Yard in a few days. When I go back, I will send someone to deliver 100,000 fairy crystals as a congratulatory gift for General Wu and Miss Li's wedding. If Miss Li Ying doesn't mind, I am willing to adopt her as my daughter. From now on …"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Forget it. She doesn't dare to accept a father like you … In addition to what you just said, I have another request. Ask your son to personally carry the sedan chair for Li Ying and apologize to her. After returning, he must do closed-door training for 100 years and is not allowed to appear on Meteor Island again."
As if he had been pardoned, Li Yin hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I will do as you say."
