That night, Li Xuefeng watched as Hua Hua's mother and daughter fell into a deep sleep in the side hall. After all, they were too tired. A faint snoring sound could be heard in their sleep, and Li Xuefeng smiled.

"The stars appeared in the sky, the stars formed when the heavens and earth were created. Looking at how many transformations there were in the world, only this star still followed the ancient path, neither fast nor slow." This should be the state of the Great Dao! " Li Xuanfeng thought in this manner. Furthermore, thinking about it, he felt that something was not right. It was said that the Sacred Ancestor just happened to run into a star before the Yuan clan opened its doors. He stopped thinking about the mess and felt troubled about what to do about the chaos in Shang Jing.

Since he couldn't stay out of this matter, he might as well find a way to invest in it and fight for the greatest benefit! He took out the jade pendant he had obtained during the day. Majesty, you have left me with a huge problem.

… ….

At the age of nine, Li Xuanfeng followed his father into the palace.

"This is Shijie's third son, he's really a genius." Li Xuanfeng secretly raised his head to look at the woman who was sitting high up in the air and saw that she was looking at him with a smile.

"Reporting to Empress Dowager, it is my son." Li Xuanfeng's usually arrogant father respectfully said at this moment. He heard again, "This child looks so much like Zhong Yong Bo."

At this moment, a trace of resentment flashed in Li Shijie's eyes. He thought that no one would notice, but unexpectedly, his astute and astute son caught sight of him. The shrewd empress dowager saw this and asked again, "Why do you still resent your father?"

"I do not dare. After all, we are working for our country. It is only right for us to not care about our lives."

"Forget it, Jin'er, go play with that big brother of yours!"

He thought of that timid brat walking towards him, always calling him big brother and using his tender hands to protect that trash.

"Now it's my turn to help you. It's hard to get along with the mortal world!" Looking at the direction of the palace, he felt both helpless and warm. She didn't know if the empress dowager had expected this day to come. Without the Imperial Palace's carts full of secret medicine, how could she have reached such a height, how could she have the qualifications to look down on most people in Shang Jing, and how could she look down on ants smaller than herself?

At the very least, his father was also extremely frustrated. After talking to the Third Marquis for an entire afternoon, the situation could not be reversed, and the civil officials who supported the Sixth Prince were now even more disinclined towards the Three Kings, thinking to themselves, "If I really think the Third Prince is powerless, I must let those civil officials see just how powerful the military barbarians are …"

At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard again. Li Shijie turned to the door and angrily asked, "What happened?"

Steward Wang's fat body appeared at the door. "Seventh Madame is coming this way."

"Hmph, what is he doing there?" Originally, he had accepted her as his concubine because he wanted to raise the military's salary. Now that he didn't need the army, it naturally became useless. Unexpectedly, he still wasn't satisfied with what was happening in the mansion.

"Master, I've paid my respects to you." The Seventh Madame, who was dressed in heavy makeup, walked in while crying and crying. "Husband, you have to help this servant. Third Young Master bullied the servant girl who punished this servant as soon as he came back." Seeing that the person in front of him did not have a single trace of expression, he said, "This is not only slapping me in the face, but slapping you in the face. I am his aunt after all."

With that, he cried again, causing Li Shijie to become restless. He asked, "Where did he run into that maid of yours?"

At this moment, Seventh Madame's face stiffened, but she lowered her head. Li Shijie did not stop, "Do you think I don't know that by sending that little servant girl of yours to bully that weak mother and daughter, you want that cousin of yours to marry my daughter?"

As he spoke till the end, his voice was incomparably sharp and cold, to the point that it was even colder in the cold night. Only his pale voice could only retort, "I … "I …"

"Even if I, Li Shijie's daughter, wasn't favoured, I still wouldn't be able to get involved with a merchant." With a wave of her hand, she wanted someone to help her out.

"Then why did you marry me? Do you think that my father has no value anymore?" Seventh Madame no longer had her previous charm, only endless anger and sadness.

Li Shijie could only feel his anger rising, and could not help but slap him.

"Pah!" A crisp sound echoed throughout the room.

"You hit me, you hit me, just beat me to death." There was no weeping, no crooning, only nightmarish indifference and dead silence. He no longer had the energy to act so arrogantly just now.

"Alright, send him back to rest." Li Shijie once again looked at the Seventh Madame in front of him, the heavy makeup on her face had been washed away by her tears. Of course, he would not admit that he had felt a moment of fear.

After they had left, he said to the shadow, "You've met my third son. How is he now?" Although it was a question, the tone was one of command.

It was no surprise that Steward Wang's figure suddenly appeared from the shadows. It was unknown when he appeared from where he appeared, but he appeared out of nowhere, so how could a person connect together like a cloud and fat figure?

"I can't see, I can't see clearly."

"Hmm?"

"In the past, although young master was powerful, this old servant could faintly feel young master's aura. But now, I can't feel any aura at all. Even if young master had really broken through the legendary seventh level, it shouldn't have happened!"

After hesitating for a moment, he revealed his guess, "Either Young Master had a fortuitous encounter with a master teacher, or you have completely become a cripple."

Li Shijie's face was gloomy as he asked, "Which one do you think is more likely?"

"I really don't know. I only have a tiny bit of intuition."

"What intuition."

Manager Wang's eyes slightly narrowed, as if recalling something. "Does Master still remember the time he saved me?" She nodded and said, "The expert I assassinated gave me a sense of danger. The feeling I had from young master today is even stronger."

"What? Did he step into that stage?"

"I don't know, I don't know. That feeling is indistinct, and it disappeared after a while."

"Ah, my son!" With a sigh, he ended tonight's conversation.
