Li Ye looked at her amusingly and thought that she was sensitive but a little bit inarticulate. She grabbed his arm for quite a while but said nothing. However, it was fine because he didn't like the eloquent women.
When she noticed that Li Ye had been staring at her, Su Emei ducked her head much lower and wished to bury it in her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, which was really possible because her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were very plump.
The atmosphere was very embarra.s.sing.
When Li Ye tried to break the ice, three people came over the bamboo bridge across the river.
A childe in splendid clothes was holding a folding fan, his face full of arrogance and hostility. A servant was bending over. And the last person lifted his chin slightly with his sword on his back as if he wished the whole world knew of his pride.
Cui Keli was feeding chickens and ducks. He put down the chicken food and came to the courtyard's side as he saw these three people. He cupped his hands and said in surprise, "What are you doing here as it's late?"
The childe in splendid clothes pointed at Cui Keli with the folding fan. "I've heard that you want to compete with my father for the position of the home lord?"
Li Ye narrowed his eyes as he saw the look of the childe in splendid clothes.
"It is true," Cui Keli answered honestly and didn't hide the truth.
The childe in splendid clothes became furious. Regardless of his seniority, he pointed at Cui Keli's nose and scolded, "Cui Keli, what qualification do you have to compete with my father? My father has been working hard in handling the family affairs for these years. You've been fed by my father all these years. Have you ever made any contributions? It's ungrateful to compete with my father at this time!"
Cui Keli frowned and held back his anger. "I make a living by my own hard working and I didn't ask the family for any help."
"Bullsh*it!" The childe in splendid clothes was raging. He became more arrogant, and his voice was getting louder and louder. "You're a Confucian scholar, but you don't have the sense of propriety, justice, honesty and honor! How could you farm safely without the Cui family to look after you? You couldn't sell any of those bullsh*t calligraphy and paintings that you had written without the Cui family and my father! You think highly of yourself, but in my opinion, you're just a hypocritical person who fishes for fame!"
"If there is nothing else, please go back." Cui Keli turned around as he finished his words.
"Cui Keli! You hypocrite! If you compete with my father for the position of the home lord again, I'll tear down your courtyard! You stop..." When Cui Keli was going to leave, the childe in splendid clothes became angry from embarra.s.sment.
Yang Zhongxiu said impatiently, "Stop talking to him, and directly..."
Before he could finish his words, he was shocked by the shadow flas.h.i.+ng in front of him.
Li Ye, who was teasing the big yellow dog a moment ago, suddenly disappeared from the place. When he appeared again, he hit the chest of the chlide in splendid clothes with his knee in the air!
"Bang." The chlide in splendid clothes vomited blood and flew backward with no time to scream. He broke countless bamboos in the bamboo forest, causing the bamboo leaves falling with rustles!
Yang Zhongxiu bristled with anger as he saw this scene. The chlide in splendid clothes was attacked in front of him, which made him lose face, so he immediately pulled out his sword and chopped towards Li Ye. "You court death!"
The long sword with Spiritual Qi chopped down directly!
It fell between Li Ye's fingers.
Yang Zhongxiu was stunned and shocked. He trembled, full of incredulity.
Li Ye's index finger and middle finger directly clipped the tip of the sword!
Yang Zhongxiu mobilized all his cultivation power and tried hard to pull back his spiritual sword.
However, the spiritual sword didn't move at all!
Yang Zhongxiu was frightened. At this time, he noticed that Li Ye's gaze at him was as cold as the frost.
"Let, let go!" Yang Zhongxiu's voice trembled.
Li Ye let go.
Yang Zhongxiu was struggling to pull his sword back. Suddenly, he lost balance and went backward.
"You're right. It's useless to say nonsense."
Yang Zhongxiu heard Li Ye's voice ringing in his ears.
He was scared out of his wits!
Bang!
Li Ye punched at Yang Zhongxiu's lower abdomen.
Yang Zhongxiu curved his body and spat out a mouthful of blood suddenly. His eyes almost falling out, he was flying straight up in the air!
Then he fell heavily on the ground, causing a cloud of dust.
Then he lay on the ground like a dead fish, unable to move any more.
The only remaining servant was s.h.i.+vering. He tried to escape, but he couldn't control his body. He looked at Li Ye in horror. "You, you..."
Li Ye slapped him, and he flew away directly. "An eyesore."
The chlide in splendid clothes finally climbed up in the bamboo pavilion. Bending over, he tried hard to hold the green bamboo. He stood stunned there as he saw this scene.
"Yang Zhongxiu is defeated?"
"Isn't he the First Sword in Qing Prefecture?"
"Why could he be defeated?"
"You move!"
The chlide in splendid clothes was at a loss.
Looking at him, Li Ye stretched out his hand and grabbed the childe in splendid clothes to his front through the air.
Li Ye was expressionless. Lifting the childe in splendid clothes who was howling, he walked to the front of Cui Keli who was dumbfounded. He kicked the childe in splendid clothes on the a.s.s. "Kneel down."
The childe in splendid clothes fell over and knelt down in front of Cui Keli.
Cui Keli looked at Li Ye with astonishment. He opened his mouth, speechless.
Not only Cui Keli but also Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang stared at Li Ye with an incredible look.
They weren't surprised by Li Ye's strength because they knew how powerful Li Ye was.
They thought that Li Ye's attack was too sudden.
"Dude, it was Cui Keli who was scolded."
"Cui Keli, who was scolded, was not yet angry."
"As the helpers whom Cui Keli has invited, we haven't done anything yet."
"Why did you start a fight first?"
"Dude, you're bad-tempered!"
Wei Xiaozhuang closed his mouth and turned to look at Su Emei. "Senior sister, did this guy scold Childe Li?"
Su Emei nodded. "No."
Wei Xiaozhuang turned around and looked at Li Ye with admiration and wors.h.i.+p. He thumbed up and praised Li Ye loudly, "Brother Li, you're gallant! I admire your upholding justice!"
Cui Keli recovered and felt grateful to Li Ye. "I greatly appreciate your help!"
Although he endured the scolding of the childe in splendid clothes, he felt very uncomfortable, so he appreciated Li Ye's help for him.
Li Ye waved his hand and thought that they were relatives, so they didn't need to say these polite words. However, he spoke with great righteousness and dignity, "I don't like such an impolite and domineering person in Jianghu."
The childe in splendid clothes was kneeling on the ground and he dared not to get up. He wanted to cry as he heard these words. "I did nothing to you and I didn't domineer over you, but you beat me without saying anything. You're the one who is really domineering!"
When Cui Keli was thinking about letting go of the childe in splendid clothes, a group of people rushed out from the bamboo forest. They rushed across the bamboo bridge aggressively and gathered outside the courtyard, glaring at Li Ye and the others fiercely.
Their head was a man about the same age as Cui Keli. When he saw the childe in splendid clothes, he cried out, "My son." He hurriedly helped his son up. His face was shaking with anger as he looked at Cui Keli again.
"Father..." the childe in splendid clothes howled with an extreme grievance as he saw the middle-aged man in the front.
The middle-aged man quickly patted his back to comfort him. "Rest a.s.sured. I'll get justice for you for today's matter!"
This was Cui Hucheng, the third junior brother of Cui Keli. His name was fierce, his face was rough, and his behavior was overbearing. He glared at Cui Keli and questioned, "As the elder, you beat your junior to serious injuries. What kind of virtue do you have to remain in the Cui family?!"
With such a big accusation, he was trying to force Cui Keli to leave the Cui family and solve the problem fundamentally, needless to say, Cui Keli wanted to compete with him for the position of the home lord. He was vicious.
Li Ye was a little bit shocked. Cui Hucheng was by no means so rough as he looked on the surface.
Cui Keli wasn't pedantic and he didn't fear at the moment. He said bluntly, "Your son insulted me first, so my friend stepped up to defend me. We have done nothing wrong in this matter."
"I don't buy your words." Obviously, Cui Hucheng showed no respect for his second senior brother. He spoke with Cui Keli like yelling at his attendants, "You said my son insulted you? Did he really do so? I didn't hear that he insulted you, but I see that he is now seriously injured!"
"Right, childe didn't insult anyone!" Yang Zhongxiu was helped to his feet, and now he could hardly stand, but he immediately had confidence as he saw Cui Hucheng. "I can testify!"
The servant, who was slapped away by Li Ye, was carried out of the river. He knelt at the feet of Cui Hucheng, crying. "Childe came here for a friendly visit, but we didn't expect that Cui Keli would directly let his man attack us. We were unprepared, so they beat us badly!"
Cui Hucheng immediately believed them and glared at Cui Keli. "Now what do you have to say?"
Both Wei Xiaozhuang and Su Emei were shocked by their shameless behavior. How could they call black white?
Wei Xiaozhuang shouted at once, "We can testify that this childe in splendid clothes insulted Cui Keli first and threatened to tear down the house so that we started a fight!"
Cui Hucheng glanced at Wei Xiaozhuang disdainfully. "Who are you? You don't belong to the Cui family, so you don't have the right to talk here. Why should I believe your words?"
"You!" Wei Xiaozhuang was stunned.
Su Emei looked at Li Ye, but he didn't say anything. It wasn't necessary for him to come forward at any time. He waited to see what Cui Keli would do.
Cui Keli said severely, "Since you don't believe our words, then we don't agree with your words either."
Cui Hucheng snorted, staring at Cui Keli, and said in a sinister tone, "Do you really think you can do whatever you want with a few Taoists?"
"I never think I can do as I please."
"Don't talk about the nonsense! It is true that my son is badly hurt, so you have to explain it. You can no longer stay at the Cui family!"
"It's also true that your son has insulted me. I must stay in the Cui family!"
The two of them gave t.i.t for tat in tension. Although Cui Keli was a Confucian scholar and had average cultivation, he didn't fear Cui Hucheng, the second master of the Cui family.
"If you keep being so shameless, and then don't blame me for being unkind to use the family rules against you!" Cui Hucheng said word by word.
"You have been dealing with family affairs for many years, so everyone will listen to you. You think you can call black white, but you're wrong," Cui Keli said lightly.
Cui Hucheng twisted his neck and stepped backward. His expression became more ferocious. "Let's see... Go! Expel this guy who doesn't deserve to stay in the Cui family from the Cui family!"
The cultivators whom he brought were ready to rush forward.
Cui Keli's face darkened.
At this time, a heavy sigh of vicissitudes sounded, from all directions. "Since you're brothers, why would you two become like this?"
Everyone looked up and saw a man standing at the top of a tree on the hill with his hair and clothes fluttering.
All the people saluted immediately as they saw the man, "Master!"
He was Cui Shulin, the current home lord of the Cui family as well as Cui Keli and Cui Hucheng's father.
Li Ye's gaze changed slightly. This person was also his mother's father, his grandfather.
