Chapter 606: Chapter 605 Receive Order
The servant immediately took the order and led Liu Zheng to see Liu Zheng.
Led by him, Liu Zheng passed through several courtyards and finally arrived in front of a three-story building. Liu Zheng said, "Alright, this is it." He pushed open the tightly shut doors.
As the doors swung open, there appeared a spacious courtyard, planted with flowers, plants, and trees, including a few stalks of exotic Spirit Flowers, emitting a strong fragrance. The entire courtyard was spotless.
Many medicinal herbs were planted in the courtyard, most of them first and second-grade Spiritual Medicines, while others were fifth- or sixth-grade, even seventh or eighth-grade Spirit Grasses. Each of different grades had its uniqueness, all immensely valuable.
Liu Zheng inwardly sighed without end. His own father was indeed a great tycoon. Such a massive entity as the Liu Family, to have developed to its current scale purely through his own capabilities, was truly not easy.
The servant led Liu Zheng straight to the back courtyard and said, "Uncle Li is in the back courtyard, please follow me."
Liu Zheng said, "You don’t need to show me the way, I can find it myself." His footsteps light, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared in a blink.
Li Yuanba followed after him, frowning as he said, "Liu Zheng, didn’t you say you wouldn’t bring me to see my father? What is this all about?"
"Haha, Li Yuanba, oh Li Yuanba, has your brain been kicked by a donkey? Have you forgotten what I just said? Those words were just to scare you. How could my father refuse to see you over a mere Liu Zheng?"
Liu Zheng began to ridicule.
Veins bulged on Li Yuanba’s face as he clenched his teeth and said, "You, you, you, you’re too despicable!" His fists were so tightly clenched they seemed about to break, "The humiliation of today, I, Li Yuanba, will surely repay a hundredfold!" A terrifying killing intent shot from his eyes.
Liu Zheng scoffed, "Heh, you’re not qualified yet!"
He stepped forward and said as he walked, "Come on, follow me. I want to see how your father will punish you!"
Li Yuanba snorted coldly and followed Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng rushed into the back courtyard in one breath and saw the servant standing in the center of the courtyard.
"Father, your son Li Yuanba has come to visit you."
He said, bowing respectfully.
"Hmm, Yuan Ba, come in."
Li Qingyun said indifferently.
On hearing this, Liu Zheng was overjoyed and hurried in, only to find the courtyard empty, seeing no one. He asked, "Father, what matter have you summoned me for?"
Li Qingyun, with his hands clasped behind his back, paced slowly and said, "Li Yuanba, you are a legitimate descendant of the Liu Family, but you are also a disgrace. I really have no face to meet your mother and thus decided to adopt you. But if you continue like this, I will have no choice but to remove you from the family register."
Liu Zheng’s pupils shrank in shock as he exclaimed, "What? You, you want to remove me from the family register? That’s unacceptable! I, Li Yuanba, am of the direct line, how could you, an outsider, expel me?!"
Li Qingyun said, "Then what do you suggest? The honor of the Li clan is not something you can discard at will. Don’t forget that you are a person of the Liu Family, and I am your father!"
Liu Zheng said, "Father, do you have some unspeakable difficulties that have led you to this decision?" A flicker of puzzlement and contemplation showed in his eyes.
Li Qingyun replied, "Indeed, I have my unspeakable difficulties, but I am also doing it for your own good." He stopped walking, a trace of guilt and reluctance flashing in his eyes, "All these years, your mother has suffered all kinds of bullying and disdain in the manor. You cannot understand her feelings. If it was not for your sake, how could I possibly have driven her out of the house?"
Liu Zheng was stunned, and then anger swelled in his heart.
He abruptly shouted, "Nonsense! Mother has been subjected to bullying and disdain in the manor? I think you’ve been bewitched by them!" He pointed behind Liu Zheng, "Father, look, is this what you call your ’unspeakable difficulties’?!"
"You!"
Li Qingyun’s face was suddenly filled with anger and shame as he burst out yelling, "Liu Zheng, how dare you treat your father like this? Everything I’ve done is for your own good! And you dare to question me?"
"Hehe."
Liu Zheng retorted with mockery, "Father, I really doubt whether you are my biological father at all. Just to protect that woman, you want to drive me out of the Liu Family!"
"You, you unfilial son!" Li Qingyun flew into a rage, raised his right palm, and struck at Liu Zheng.
His cultivation was extremely high, and with one palm, the wind surged and the force rolled fiercely.
The servant’s face changed drastically, he quickly retreated, dodging out of the way, his heart filled with unparalleled shock. He had never seen Li Qingyun make a move, and now witnessing his strike, he realized just how formidable his young master’s cultivation was.
"Boom!"
A gigantic palm imprint formed in midair, like the force of thunder, pressing down, instantly enveloping the entire courtyard and covering it completely. The terrifying power of the palm completely concealed Liu Zheng’s figure, making it impossible to see clearly.
The servant was horrified, thinking to himself, "This is the young master’s full-strength strike, young master’s prospects are grim!"
Cold light gleamed in Li Qingyun’s eyes as he said, "Liu Zheng, today I must beat you to death!" His palm force grew even more vigorous, an air of destruction spreading all around, and everything inside the courtyard was pulverized into dust, drifting in the air.
Li Qingyun’s face showed a look of excitement, as if he found it extremely satisfying, "Liu Zheng, today I will teach you a lesson and show you the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The servant grew even more terrified and scurried backward.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard, and Li Qingyun’s palm force was rebounded by a tremendous power back onto him, causing his whole body to tremble and blood to seep from the corner of his mouth, his face revealing shock, "Who? Come out!" He yelled fiercely, breaking the palm imprint.
Standing on the eaves of the courtyard was a figure, none other than Liu Zheng’s mother, Lin Rou. Her gaze was icy as she coldly stared below, "Li Qingyun, I’ve long known your ambitions, but you shouldn’t use your own son to target me, nor should you harm my son!"
Li Qingyun was utterly shocked, "Lin Rou, how could you be here?"
Lin Rou said, "What’s so strange about me being here? You’ve been wanting to target me since our time in the Liu Residence, but I never imagined you’d be so bold as to use your son against me. I didn’t want to quarrel with you, but I did not expect you to be so sinister and vicious. Today, I will seek justice for your mother!"
Li Qingyun’s heart sank to despair. Facing Lin Rou, he had no power to fight back, his fate at her mercy, but he couldn’t bear to simply concede defeat. After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked up and let out a roar, drawing his sword and stabbing fiercely downward, "Mother, go ahead of me, your son will follow to take revenge!"
"Swoosh!"
The longsword traced an arc in the air, aiming straight for Lin Rou’s chest.
Lin Rou sneered, crossing her arms over her chest, standing proudly, "Li Qingyun, with your cultivation level, you dare to battle me?"
"Boom!"
She spread her arms apart, and a wave of palm force greeted the attack.
"Bang!"
The two forces collided, exploding with a loud noise, the blast of wind sweeping up, causing Li Qingyun’s clothes to billow with a rustling sound.
"Pfft!"
Li Qingyun from below was knocked back by the rebound, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, his face showing disbelief, "How, how is this possible?!"
"Hahaha..."
