This courtyard didn't have a signboard nor a proper name, but instead stood tall within the Lee Family.

I looked at the tightly shut gate and felt an inexplicable emotion. I bent my knees and kowtowed to the ground, kowtowing heavily.

The moment my forehead touched the ground, I thought of my grandfather.

However, all of a sudden, an ancient voice sounded from the entrance of the courtyard. The instant the voice reverberated outside, my entire body shuddered.

"Who is it …?" Kowtow outside? "

The surrounding followers all widened their eyes in disbelief.

"This is …" Old Master Lee's voice! "

"Old Master Lee hasn't been out of the courtyard for a long time, why is he asking questions from the inside?"

"It must be Noble Heir Lee Qi. Could it be that Old Master Lee has his eyes on Noble Heir Lee Qi and wants him to be the Crown Prince?"

"Shut up." Hearing that, Lee Qi gave his followers a stern look. The followers immediately shut their mouths and didn't dare to act presumptuously.

Soon after, Lee Qi performed three kowtows and nine kowtows as he responded, "Junior Lee Qi, along with the Southern Commander of Iron River, Lee Shaobai and others. They passed by the residence of the Patriarch, specifically here to kowtow."

Without hesitation, I continued, "Junior Lee Shaobai, we greet Old Master Lee here."

The yard door suddenly became silent, but Old Master Lee didn't say anything. No one dared to stand up, and they all knelt on the ground.

I was the same, but I didn't feel unbalanced, because I was kneeling on my own grandfather, of course.

After half a minute, Old Master Lee's voice came from inside the gate.

"Iron River... Southern Commander Lee, why did you come to my Lee Family, and who do you want to meet? "

"Junior received Sir Lee Qinghao's invitation and came here to meet with him at Lee Family. Please forgive me, junior Shaobai." I suddenly felt happy in my heart, Lee Qinghao did not let me announce Shao Wentian, now Old Master Lee personally asked, I can't not say, right?

After kneeling for a few more minutes, Old Master Lee sent a message from the yard: "Got it, you guys can leave."

With that, the entire yard returned to silence. Lee Qi took the lead and stood up with a stern face full of Wu Tie's power. He shouted, "Lee Shaobai, come with me quickly. You must not be slow."

I immediately followed Lee Qi's footsteps and left Old Master Lee's nameless courtyard.

In reality, Lee Qi and I knew very well that the two of us had been pretending all along because the person who Lee Qi called the leader and declared that he was setting up the big picture was someone who had been hiding his identity for many years … Old Master Lee!

And the last time I left the Peking, the old man who guided me with his walking stick, if I'm not mistaken, is my biological grandfather, Li Tianxing!

I couldn't help but look back at the courtyard behind me. I silently hid this secret in my heart. Right now isn't the best time to reveal my identity, otherwise Old Master Lee would definitely not let me go.

After taking in a deep breath, I turned around and followed Lee Qi back into the Lee Family.

Passing through the ancestral hall, passing by the beautiful garden with birdsong and fragrant flowers, passing by the majestic and dazzling Lee Family great hall, finally, I was brought in front of a palace by Lee Qi.

I raised my head and carefully examined this palace. It was called Qianzheng Palace, and the decorations were filled with the aura of an emperor, as though it was the place where kings and generals lived. Compared to Old Master Lee's simple courtyard, it was simply luxurious to the extreme.

Lee Qi stopped in his tracks, waved his hand, and left his follower outside the door. He directly led me through the palace gate, explaining as we walked, "This place is called Qianzheng Palace, and is my uncle Lee Qinghao's residence. It is located in a good location in Lee Family, and there are signs of good karmic luck everywhere.

Lee Qi's words seemed to be threatening, but it was actually to advise me to be more careful. This is Lee Qinghao's territory, even he would not dare to act rashly. After all, the one in power right now is not Old Master Lee, but Lee Qinghao.

"I understand. Thank you, Noble Heir Lee Qi, for your guidance." I cupped my hands and bowed.

Who would have thought that Lee Qi would actually be secretly cocky. His eyes faintly glowed, as if he was enjoying this feeling.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Lee Qi, "Noble Heir Lee Qi, please continue to lead the way, this Qianzheng Palace is too big, I'm afraid this one will get lost."1

"Follow me." Lee Qi snorted and swaggered his way into the Qianzheng Palace. Wherever there was a guard, when they saw Lee Qi approaching, they would immediately give way and bend their bodies, giving off a strong sense of feudalism.

It was not until we entered a secluded courtyard that I saw a middle-aged man sitting on a stone chair in the pavilion. He was leisurely drinking hot tea, and there were four extraordinary elders standing guard by his side.

He wore a gold robe and a jade thumb ring that symbolized power. His every move was like the reincarnation of a Yellow Dragon. His face was filled with an imposing aura, like that of a king or a general.

At this moment, even if I have never seen this person before, I instantly recognized him. He is the person in charge of Lee Family, Lee Qinghao!

Seemingly sensing my gaze, Lee Qinghao put down the teacup and turned to look at me. His mouth curled up slightly, and his gaze was like a sharp beam, as if he could see through me completely. It made my heart race.

Lee Qi led me to Lee Qinghao's pavilion. He first cupped his hands towards him before respectfully saying, "Reporting to uncle, we have arrived."

Lee Qinghao calmly brewed a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Qi Er, all four of you leave. I have something to talk about with Wu Tie alone."

"Yes." The four elders nodded in unison. Without any hesitation, they turned around and left the courtyard.

As for Lee Qi, he took a few deep breaths, looked at me a few more times, and also left, as if he was worried that Lee Qinghao would do something to me.

Very quickly, Lee Qinghao and I were the only ones left in the courtyard. It was quiet all around, except for the occasional bird cry.

I just stood there and didn't know what to say. I didn't know what Lee Qinghao was planning or why he wanted to meet me.

Only after standing still for a few minutes did Lee Qinghao brew a cup of tea. He poured another cup for himself and carefully smelled the hot tea's fragrance. He praised, "Such a good tea, Commander Lee saw it. Don't you want to drink a cup?"

"I don't dare." "No," I said.

Lee Qinghao turned his head and suddenly stared at me coldly. "You don't dare? You even dare to scheme against my Lee Family, why wouldn't you dare? "

"I was forced to do so." "Yes," I said.

"Forced? The face and guts of Iron River, when did it become so big? And you still want to force my Lee Family to take action? " Lee Qinghao's gaze became increasingly cold. Under his scrutiny, I felt as though I was in an extremely cold world. A chill emanated from within.

"You're wrong. It's because of the situation, and I'm doing it for the Iron River, to show my worth in the process." I forced myself to calm down, as I was very clear in my heart that as long as Lee Qinghao was not happy, with just a single sentence, he would be able to kill me here. The identity of the person in charge of Lee Family was definitely not a joke, he is definitely one of the few people who stands at the peak of the pyramid of power.

Lee Qinghao squinted his eyes. He waved his hand and the cup fell to the ground.

When the sound of a teacup shattering rang out, I knew that something terrible had happened.

After a few seconds of silence, Lee Qinghao coldly said: "I don't think that you want to show value, but instead use Lee Family to strengthen your Iron River, and then break away from it. Am I right?"
