Chapter 13
“A rough slave dares to sleep with his master. If he is not punished at all, he will climb on the master’s head in the future. Please don’t hinder the old slave to enforce the family law, third young master.”
After saying this, Aunt Xing signaled to several servants, “Why don’t you hurry up and take this person away for me.”
Li Tianyan watched these people’s actions with cold eyes until one of the men’s hands was about to grab Xiao Liu’s shoulder, Li Tianyan turned the stick in his hand, and a three-foot-long man was thrown away.
Several servants saw this and took action one after another. They did not dare to attack Li Tianyan and could only aim at Xiao Liu. Li Tianyan was also completely offended by these people. He used his spiritual power to fight with several servants, holding the stick in his hand every time it hit a person, everyone could hear the obvious sound of bone breaking.
Several servants didn’t pay attention to Li Tianyan at first, thinking it was the other party’s sneak attack that knocked him down. Now they really fought with Li Tianyan, they became more and more frightened.
Dealing with several third-level warriors at the same time, Li Tianyan didn’t feel as easy as it seemed on the surface. If the spiritual power hadn’t improved a bit last night, he would have been exhausted by now.
Seeing a sudden fight among several people in the courtyard, Cheng Qi’s heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his eyes were fixed on Li Tianyan among the people for a moment.
Li Tianyan quickly dealt with several servants, then threw the stick towards where Aunt Xing was standing, “You, a woman who disciplines the servants, came to my courtyard to run wild, who gave you the power to attack the master?”
The stick hit Aunt Xing’s head impartially, knocking off the bun on her head. Aunt Xing covered her bleeding forehead and finally knelt down in fear, begging for mercy, “Young master, please calm down, this is a misunderstanding.”
“Get out!” After Li Tianyan said this, he saw Aunt Xing running away in despair with several injured servants and suddenly stopped her, “Wait a minute.”
“Young master, do you have any other instructions?” Upon hearing Li Tianyan’s voice, Aunt Xing trembled with fright.
“Xiao Liu is the person given out to me by my mother, and his body deed is also in my hands. There is no need to follow the arrangements of other people in the house. You’d better not set foot in my Qingzhu Courtyard in the future, or else the stick doesn’t have eyes.” Li Tianyan didn’t want anyone to come to him every day to cause trouble in the future.
“Yes, yes, the old slave remembers it.” Aunt Xing nodded her head, and when Li Tianyan didn’t say anything else, she hurriedly left.
.
Naturally, the news in Qingzhu Courtyard could not be hidden from other people in the Li Mansion. Several young masters and ladies who heard the news and wanted to come and see the fun immediately dispersed when they saw Li Tianyan’s fierce look.
“It seems that what happened in the training ground yesterday is true. I thought those martial disciples were exaggerating.”
“Didn’t they say that he couldn’t practice martial arts before? The third brother must keep it a secret. Those servants are all third-level warriors. Can you tell how advanced third brother is?”
“I didn’t see it. He has no vitality at all. Did he use some method to cover it up?”
“Why did I feel…. the third brother has an aura very similar to that of the elders of Tianfan Immortal Sect.”
As soon as Li Yue said these words, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and he saw several pairs of eyes staring at him, “What’s wrong?”
Li Shu couldn’t help but rolled his eyes, “Are you daydreaming? Who are the elders of Tianfan Immortal Sect? They are all powerful cultivators. Do you think Li Tianyan can really be like others because he has spiritual roots?”
“That’s true.” Li Yue nodded, feeling that it was his misunderstanding.
.
As soon as Aunt Xing left Qingzhu Courtyard, it became clean again. Xiao Liu saluted Li Tianyan and quickly cleaned up the messed-up yard.
Li Tianyan saw Cheng Qi still standing there, in daze and didn’t know what he was thinking. He raised his hand and pinched the little shuanger’s cheek, “It’s okay.”
“Thank…Thank you, young master.” Cheng Qi replied, regaining some energy as he looked at Li Tianyan.
“Why did it change again into ‘young master’?” Li Tianyan heard helplessly.
But seeing there were still tears in the little shuanger’s eyes that had not been wiped dry, and his pupils were stained clear and bright by tears, just like dusty black gems wiping away the mud that obscured the brilliance, Li Tianyan couldn’t help but feel a little softer, “You’re not hurt, are you?”
“No.” Cheng Qi shook his head, and suddenly remembered something important, turned around and ran to his room.
Li Tianyan looked in the direction of Cheng Qi and saw him nervously picking up a few shabby clothes from the ground and stuffing them into a bag again.
He was no stranger to this baggage. The little shuanger kept a close eye on it wherever he went. He thought there was something valuable in it, but it turned out to be a few unwearable children’s clothes. Although Li Tianyan was curious, he didn’t ask any more questions; he only called Li Wu to his side.
The scene of Li Tianyan fighting with several servants just now had frightened Li Wu to death. Now, when he heard the young master calling him, his legs became weak, but he still followed behind and went in.
As for what Li Tianyan and Li Wu said in the room, no one knew, but after that day, Li Wu always looked in awe and fear every time he saw Li Tianyan.

The Cheng Mansion
“Xiao Si, did you go to Li Mansion today?” As soon as Cheng Feiyue returned home, he was anxious to find his sister Cheng Si and asked, “Did you see Li Tianyan leave?”
“Don’t mention him.” Cheng Si was annoyed about the hairpin. When her elder brother mentioned Li Tianyan, she felt even more upset.
“You really did. Did he ask for a Qingtai hairpin from you?” Cheng Feiyue felt his heart skip a beat when he heard his sister admit it.
“Brother, how do you know?” Cheng Si looked up at the other party in surprise.
This was what happened this morning. Apart from Li Tianyan, she and Qiu Ling were the only two people at that time. They never mentioned this matter to anyone after leaving Li Mansion. How could her eldest brother know about it?
“Huh, how do I know? There are a lot of rumors outside now, saying that you once received Li Tianyan’s love token and wore it to visit Li Mansion after he got married.” Cheng Feiyue became angry when he mentioned this.
Now that there was such a rumor outside, where could he put his sister’s face? Should he say that Cheng Si has no lingering feelings for Li Tianyan? But who would believe it now?
“What? How could it be?” Cheng Si was shocked when she heard this, now realizing that the matter was serious.
Cheng Feiyue couldn’t help but sigh when he saw Cheng Si’s pale face, so charming and affectionate. With his sister’s beauty and the status of their Cheng family, she could have found a good match. He didn’t know why she was got caught with Li Tianyan in the first place.
His sister had been criticized because of Li Tianyan’s marriage, and now something like this had happened. What would the outsiders think? His mother recently wanted to make Cheng Si and Li Tianzhou a couple. But this matter happened in Li Mansion today. The two of them… it might impossible to success.
“Why did you go to Li Mansion and wear something Li Tianyan gave you, and why did you fight with him?”
“Originally, Qiu Ling had already said that the hairpin was given to me by my mother, but Li Tianyan also said he had the receipt, so if I went to Laibao Pavilion with him, I would be humiliated. Then I returned the hairpin to him.” Cheng Si also didn’t expect that things would turn out like this.
“This…” Cheng Feiyue didn’t know what to say for a moment. If it hadn’t happened suddenly, it didn’t matter to go to Laibao Pavilion. They could have said that Li Tianyan slandered his sister, but now his sister had admitted and returned the hairpin. He really didn’t know what to do.
Probably it was Li Tianyan who made it known to everyone.
Cheng Si seemed to have thought the same, gritted her teeth angrily, “It must have been Li Tianyan who spread the word.”
.
Even if Li Tianyan didn’t go out, he could still learn about what was going on outside from the mouths of the maids passing by nearby. Of course, the rumors about him and Cheng Si were also clear.
As for who spread the word, Li Tianyan knew it without thinking. Madam Cheng wanted to promise Cheng Si to Li Tianzhou. Hong Man had no intention of refusing or accepting. If it had been done before, Hong Man might have been happy to see this marriage come to fruition, but how could she like Cheng Si now?
“Young madam, please wake up.”
While everyone else was sleeping, Li Tianyan was about to enter meditation practice, but suddenly he heard Xiao Liu’s voice coming from the next room and couldn’t help but wake up.
.
Not long after Xiao Liu fell asleep tonight, he suddenly heard the sound of sobbing from next to him. He thought it was Cheng Qi who was frightened by those people today. When Xiao Liu got up and took a look, he realized that Cheng Qi had his eyes closed. He was deep in sleep; it was obviously a nightmare.
