Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 196 Howling and Barking

A private room in an inn in the imperial city.

The members of the Li Huo Sect gathered here, many of them bearing injuries, and their faces were not looking good.

"Senior brother, don't be angry. It was all my fault just now."

Seeing Fei Han sitting in the chair, pale-faced and frowning, Luo Xinrou smiled and handed him a cup of tea. "Please don't take it to heart, he's just a child, he doesn't understand anything..."

Seeing that she had taken the initiative to back down, Fei Han nodded and took the teacup, about to take a sip to moisten his throat, but when he heard what she said next, his face immediately darkened.

"Don't mention your brother in front of me. If it weren't for him causing trouble, none of this would have happened!"

With a bang, he slammed the teacup onto the table, spilling tea everywhere.

"That's right. If your brother hadn't been so ungrateful and looked down on people, how could he have offended that young man?"

“We’ve all been ruined by your brother. Because of him, not only have we been beaten up, but the Li Huo Sect has also lost all face.”

The other disciples echoed this sentiment, their gazes towards Luo Xinrou and Luo Jialiang filled with displeasure.

"Senior brothers, how... how could you say such a thing...?"

Seeing everyone turn their anger towards her, Luo Xinrou's pretty face froze, finding it hard to accept.

The next moment, her eyes reddened, and she began to sob, "I may have made a mistake in this matter, but putting aside the facts, isn't that kid also right?"

"He only said a few harsh words, yet he attacked you all so severely, injuring you all like this. Don't you have any complaints?"

At the end, she revealed a pitiful expression and covered her face to weep.

"this........."

Immediately, the disciples hesitated, feeling reluctant to do so.

Indeed, Gallen Lo was the catalyst for this series of troubles.

But it was that young man surnamed Li who injured them and trampled on the dignity of the Li Huo Sect; this is an undeniable fact.

Upon hearing this, a shadow fell over Fei Han's brow, and he said bitterly, "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely avenge this!"

"Judging by the days, my master should be arriving soon. Let that brat run wild for a few more days, and then he'll regret it. He'll make him pay double for the humiliation he brought us!"

.........

As dusk approached, the setting sun shone like blood.

"Squeak-"

The gate of the Miao residence was pushed open from the inside, and a young man in black with a high ponytail walked out with an indifferent look in his eyes. His clothes were spotless, and he had an extraordinary air about him.

It was Li Wudao.

He looked at Zhou Bai, who was waiting outside, and said softly, "There weren't any who slipped through the net, were there?"

Zhou Bai laughed and said, "A few did manage to escape, but I took care of them all."

"That's good."

Li Wudao nodded, glanced at the impatient crowd, and said, "Go in. I'll give you one stick of incense. How much you can take depends entirely on your abilities."

"Wuhu! Long live Senior Brother!"

"Haha, free spirit stones and medicinal herbs... Here I come!"

The disciples' eyes lit up as if they had seen an unparalleled beauty. They rubbed their hands together and rushed into the mansion like locusts.

Soon.

Everyone walked out satisfied. Some disciples didn't even have enough storage rings, and they stuffed a lot of stuff into their pockets.

One disciple even took the gate inlaid with golden lion heads with him when he left.

"They're definitely professionals..."

Seeing the golden lion head door knocker that had been forcibly removed, Li Wudao couldn't help but sigh.

When geese pass by, their feathers are plucked; when beasts leave, their skins are left.

He learned something truly valuable again.

"Were you guys bandits in your past lives? Why are you stuffing all this junk into your clothes...?"

Zhou Bai was dumbfounded and couldn't bear to look at him, saying, "Don't ever say you're a true disciple of the Xuantian Sect when you go out, and don't ever say you know me. I can't afford to lose face like that!"

"Tch, you don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. This huge pure gold door knocker is enough to feed me for a whole year."

"Since it's free anyway, why not take it? If I don't take it, someone else will. It's better to let someone else benefit than to let me."

Li Wudao was stunned by their shameless rebuttals.

That's so damn true!

As expected, those who can become true disciples of the Xuantian Sect are all talented individuals, and they speak very eloquently.

"Li...Li Wudao?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from not far away on the street, and a woman with a strong air of worldliness walked over.

The woman, about twenty years old, heavily made up and walking with a flirtatious gait, approached and exclaimed in surprise:

"It really is you... Wait a minute, didn't you go to the Xuan Tian Sect to cultivate? How come you're here?"

At this point, she carefully examined Li Wudao, but couldn't sense any cultivation level. She suddenly realized something and sneered:

"Oh, I see. You were kicked out of the Xuan Tian Sect because your cultivation talent was too poor, right?"

"That's true. Your talent isn't even as good as mine. You were just incredibly lucky to pass the assessment back then. How could you possibly stay in the Xuan Tian Sect..."

Upon seeing the woman's harsh words, the Xuan Tian Sect disciples present instantly turned cold.

What kind of thing is she? She's not even a Blood Transformation Realm ant, yet she dares to mock Senior Brother Li's talent as being inferior to hers. How laughable!

"Senior brother, what is your relationship with her?"

The mischievous look on Gan Ning's face vanished, replaced by a hostile stare at the woman.

"Just ordinary strangers."

Li Wudao's tone was indifferent, his eyes, revealing neither joy nor anger, fixed on the woman. "I heard the Sun family moved; so they moved to the capital..."

The woman's name was "Sun Qin," and she was his childhood sweetheart, Sun Qian's older sister.

In the original owner's memories, this woman often gossiped behind his back, openly and secretly belittling him. Many of the mean and treacherous schemes Sun Qian used against him originated from this woman.

In fact, besides Sun Qian's own habits, Sun Qin also played an inescapable role in Sun Qian becoming a "scumbag woman."

"Indeed, all of this is thanks to His Highness the Second Prince."

Sun Qin, looking smug and lost in her own world, clicked her tongue and said:

"Fortunately, my silly sister separated from you early on, otherwise how could she have met the esteemed Second Prince, and how could my Sun family have transformed from a third-rate clan into a second-rate family in the capital?"

Hearing the woman's mocking words, Li Wudao stared at her expressionlessly, his tone inscrutable: "Take me to your Sun family. I have something to say to them."

"Is there something you can't say here?"

Sun Qin frowned, then seemed to understand something, and with a knowing look, said, "I know, you came to the capital to see Qianqian, right...?"

At this point, she raised her chin, becoming increasingly confident, and said:

"I advise you to go back to where you came from. Qianqian is no longer someone you can covet. The waters of the capital are too deep for you to handle. If His Highness the Second Prince finds out, you'll be in big trouble!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Xuan Tian Sect disciples couldn't help but sneer, looking at her with a playful and mocking expression.

If this stupid woman knew that the Second Prince, whom she was so proud of, was dead, and killed by her disdainful Senior Brother Li, what kind of expression would she have?

It will surely be very interesting.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Zhou Bai, who had been silent all along, stepped forward and slapped Sun Qin hard across the cheek.

The force was so great that it knocked him to the ground, blood spurting from the corner of his mouth, his hair disheveled, and a red, swollen, bleeding handprint was clearly visible on his heavily made-up cheek.

"I've put up with you for a long time! Who the hell do you think you are, daring to bark and howl in front of Senior Brother Li!"

Zhou Bai shook his hand, looking down at her with a cold, condescending air.
