Chapter 1719 - 1771: Conflict Rekindled
Li Yifei didn’t feel he was wrong to hit someone. If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If they do, then let them wait for their funeral. This is Li Yifei’s way of living, as well as the Li family’s approach. Li Yifei was just carrying it out. Today, Li Yifei was hosting a banquet, entertaining guests from all sides. Song Zude, oblivious to danger, brought people from the Zhao Family to make trouble. Li Yifei had a hundred reasons to act.Of course, he could have abstained from using violence, instead just having them thrown out, but that would be letting them off too easily. It’s better to act decisively and slam them to the ground outright.
The two women saw Li Yifei make a move yet didn’t intend to stop him. Watching him effortlessly knock down those causing trouble, they similarly didn’t step in to interfere with what followed, continuing to chat and laugh with the obviously distracted noblewomen.
The clan chiefs of the Hu Family, Chu Family, Zheng Family, and even the Wang Family were the closest, witnessing Li Yifei’s performance throughout. They couldn’t judge precisely how powerful Li Yifei was, but the consensus was: he’s too strong, too strong to pinpoint where his strength lies.
Wang Chunlai also couldn’t identify where Li Yifei’s strength exactly lay, but he knew facing Zhao Wu from the Zhao Family, his chances of winning were less than ten percent. Most likely, he would be knocked down within ten to twenty moves, indicating a significant disparity. However, Li Yifei left the opponent without any ability to fight back, landing more than a dozen punches in a matter of seconds, so much so that the opponent was now unconscious, still spitting blood, looking utterly miserable.
Hoo, Wang Chunlai quietly exhaled. He still remembers seeing Li Yifei for the first time, when he single-handedly challenged several family elders. Back then, he was strong, but not as unfathomable as he is now—practically monstrous.
It seems his choice was right. If the Wang Family wants to develop better, it must cling tightly to the Li family’s thigh. Poor Wang Chunlai, already past seventy, still worrying about the family’s future.
The thoughts of the other three families were simpler. Fortunately, they did not provoke Li Yifei and the Li family in the past. Otherwise, they might be as unlucky as those two families now.
Old Master Ye touched the beard on his chin with his hand, a faint smile on his face, nodding contentedly. He slowly sat down, picked up the glass of wine in front of him, and sipped it. He had already drunk quite a bit tonight. Considering his age, it was enough; he shouldn’t drink more. Yet, the scene before him made him want to drink a little more.
After Li Yifei finished hitting the people, he waved to a few security guards in the distance. They immediately jogged over in unison, stopped, and saluted. Li Yifei pointed to one person who was vomiting blood and unconscious and another one holding his face, struggling in pain on the ground, and said, "Throw these two out for me."
"Yes!" These security guards were brought by Li Yifei today and were the Li family’s security. Their quality was beyond reproach. With the clan chief’s order, they naturally followed suit, not to mention these two punks had just offended the clan chief—they saw it all. Upon Li Yifei’s command, they acted immediately: three people in a group, two lifting the legs and one holding the shoulders, ready to carry them out.
Song Zude panicked. He had just dared not to make a sound, fearing Li Yifei might come after him. Seeing Second Master Zhao getting beaten, Song Zude was initially stunned, then secretly delighted. Li Yifei must have eaten a leopard’s gall to dare hit Second Master Zhao. Now that things were getting big, the Zhao Family, suffering this loss, would never let it go, especially Second Master Zhao, who’s known for making a fuss. Humph, Li Yifei, just you wait.
But hearing Li Yifei was going to throw the two out, Song Zude absolutely had to intervene. He shouted, "Put those people down! Do you know who he is? He’s Second Master Zhao from the Zhao Family. With just a cough, all of you would meet a grave fate."
After shouting, he also called to Li Yifei, "Li Yifei, you must have eaten a bear’s heart and leopard’s gall to dare lay hands on Second Master Zhao. You’re finished, the Li family is finished too. The Zhao Family will never let this go."
"You’d better shut your mouth too!" Li Yifei replied coldly, "Song Zude, back then the Li family spared your Song Family because you begged for mercy. The Li family held back, not expecting gratitude or luck from your Song Family. But unrepentant as ever, today you brought outsiders to stir trouble. Song Zude, do you really think the Li family doesn’t dare to wipe out your Song Family?"
"You..." Song Zude’s face reddened with anger and he trembled furiously. Before he could speak, Li Yifei added, "Song Zude, your intentions today are clear to everyone. Don’t bother denying it. Let me put this straight: your Song Family will never be ranked province-wide, not this time, not ever. As for colluding with out-of-province people, the Li family will settle this with you slowly!"
Song Zude felt all the blood in his body rushing to his head. His mouth trembled, yet he couldn’t utter a word. Li Yifei’s eyes seemed to emit angry lightning, imposing an enormous pressure on him.
"This is too much! My Song Family will fight you to the death!" Song Zude held back for a good minute, finally biting his tongue in rage, shouting.
It’s not only now they fight to the death; from the moment the two families became enemies, it was already a fight to the death. This wasn’t the first time they declared it.
Li Yifei nodded lightly in response and said, "Fine, since the Song Family declares war again, the Li family accepts. However, this time, the Li family will not spare the Song Family anymore, even if you beg for mercy again, the Song Family will not be forgiven."
"The Song Family isn’t easy to bully, and now we have the Zhao Family as allies. Li Yifei, just you wait for the Song and Zhao Families’ revenge!" Song Zude roared wildly, his gaze sweeping over Ye Jingfeng, Wang Chunlai, and others, seemingly including them too.
However, Li Yifei gave no response, just made a gesture. Immediately, two Li family security guards rushed forward, pressing one high and one low, forcing Song Zude to the ground on his knees. After restraining him, another person came over, and with three people working together, they lifted Song Zude like a dead dog.
The three intruders tonight were all subdued by security. Walking a few steps away, they heard Li Yifei stop them, saying, "Throw them further, they’re an eyesore."
The distance from here to the main gate was over fifty meters, already quite far, but Li Yifei demanded even farther, so the security guards executed the order thoroughly. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, they dragged three... oh wait, there was one still conscious, but unable to struggle, out further. Some curious onlookers followed behind, watching the security guards drag the three individuals tens of meters away and then dump them into a green water channel. Judging by the sound, it seemed there was still quite a bit of water in it. At least, after a splash, there were Song Zude’s hoarse curses and imprecations!
