In the Hua family, Hua Ruyan was carried back by the thugs, causing an uproar.
"My son, what happened to you?" Mrs Wang rushed out and looked at the blood on Hua Ruyan's leg.
She was already in her forties, but she normally took good care of herself. She also ate a lot of spiritual herbs and herbs, so she looked to be around 30 years old. Her dignified and charming face had the charm of a mature woman.
When Hua Shengxiong was just a young master from a rich family, she was Hua Shengxiong's concubine, and was already husband and wife. However, because her status was too low, even though she had given birth to Hua Ruxue and Hua Ruyan, her status had not been restored.
After that, Hua Shengxiong married Hua Ruge's mother, and their abilities rose dramatically. They were also able to establish their own merit points, and it only took them six years to rise from a military official to the strongest family.
Therefore, although Hua Ruge was young, he was actually the true descendant of the Hua Family.
But six years later, Hua Ruge's mother went missing. Hua Shengxiong was afraid that he would lose his authority in the army because he only had one son, Hua Ruyan, who was still a concubine at that time.
Mrs Wang could be said to be a mother who relied heavily on her son, hence she was especially fond of Hua Ruyan.
Seeing Hua Ruyan like this made her heart ache even more.
"Mother ?" Hua Ruyan wailed, "I'm in pain."
Mrs Wang held Hua Ruyan's hand and shouted. "What are you all standing there for?
"Madam has already been invited." Butler quickly said.
"Why isn't he here yet? Send someone to urge him on!" Mrs Wang continued, as she did not want Ruyan to experience any more pain.
At this time, Hua Shengxiong was still fuming over the matter of Hua Ruge breaking the contract. He was a dignified Prince Fu, yet he could still invite a junior like this.
Initially, he thought that the previous two talks with this kid had enlightened him, but he was still stubborn. Truly despicable.
He needed to consolidate his strength, but it was not impossible if he was lacking Hua Ruge.
He had already made up his mind that he would definitely teach Hua Ruge a ruthless lesson and teach her a lesson.
Just then, he was alarmed by the noise coming from outside. He frowned in dissatisfaction and asked: "What happened? This is not a peaceful time. "
"Master, the young master was injured and even had a broken leg." A servant hurriedly said.
"What did you say?" Hua Shengxiong pushed open the door and shouted angrily: "Who dares to hit my Hua Family, are you courting death?"
The manservant lowered his head, "I don't know."
Hua Shengxiong pushed the servant away and headed towards Hua Ruyan's room.
One night, two worries had completely ignited his anger.
Hua Ruyan was lying on the bed, the doctor had already applied the medicine on him to ease the pain, his face was originally red and swollen, but now they were all smeared with the medicine, and he could not move even an inch.
"Where did you get beaten up like this in the middle of the night?" Hua Shengxiong had always been the image of a strict father, so when he saw Hua Ruyan, he did not have a good attitude.
"Master, Yan'er has already been injured to such a state, yet you are being bullied." Mrs Wang pleaded from the side.
Because the two of them had grown up together, Hua Shengxiong respected the Mrs Wang. When he heard her talk about his son's miserable state, his expression eased up a lot.
"My son, quickly tell Father and Mother who beat you to such a state." Mrs Wang asked quickly.
Hua Ruyan did not feel pain, his logic became clearer and clearer, he clenched his teeth and said: "It's Hua Ruge."
"What?" Hua Shengxiong asked doubtfully: "It's the Hua Ruge who didn't come tonight?"
"It's her. She even said that she didn't like our Hua family. Her son didn't provoke her, so she attacked." Hua Ruyan said in a righteous tone.
Mrs Wang was surprised: "How dare she be so arrogant, and how come she doesn't see my Hua Manor in her eyes."
It was obvious that she was adding oil to the fire, and anyone with a brain would be able to hear that.
Hua Shengxiong was clearly aware of this but he was still furious.
Hua Ruge was too arrogant, not only did he not attend the banquet, he even dared to attack his own son, who was from the direct line of descent.
He had been the first duke of the country for so many years, but he had never been looked down upon like this, let alone by an insignificant commoner.
"I only wanted to teach her a lesson, but I didn't expect her to court death." Hua Shengxiong's gaze turned ruthless.
Mrs Wang's eyes revealed a slightly pleased look, but he still said: "That's probably not good, after all, Hua Ruge has already entered the Hall of Sages, and is even number one. If we want to bestow her with a title, isn't dealing with Hall of Sages the enemy?"
Hall of Sages could always save a country from danger at critical moments. Although there was no actual power, its status was extraordinary and it was a place no one could afford to offend.
"Although my Hall of Sages is strong, I do not believe that I will fight against you for the sake of an insignificant person." Hua Shengxiong snorted.
After all, he was the Duke of the First Nation who had outstanding merits. Even if he killed Hua Ruge, the Emperor could only turn a blind eye and not pursue the matter.
Because the current Battle King of the imperial government was independent, his rallying power among the citizens and the army was stronger than that of the emperor. The Hua family was the emperor's last safeguard against the Battle King, so they would naturally not easily punish him.
"Father, you must kill her to set an example. In the future, those commoners will not dare to disobey us." Hua Ruyan said heartily on the bed.
He wanted everyone to be afraid of the Hua family so that he could continue his rampage.
Otherwise, if word of today's matter spread, and Hua Ruge was still safe and sound, then he would not be able to lift up his head anymore.
Hua Shengxiong nodded when he heard this: "Don't worry, father will definitely help you seek justice tomorrow."
The Hua family's status was built up from fighting, so their way of handling matters was often simple and crude. In any case, whoever had the strongest fist would have their own reasons.
"Father will bring me tomorrow. I must watch her die." Hua Ruyan said fiercely.
"Leave this matter to your father. Your leg is injured, so you need to stay home to recuperate." The Mrs Wang coaxed.
"No." Hua Ruyan stubbornly looked at Hua Shengxiong and said, "I want to go."
"It's also good to see the world. Otherwise, you'll be scared out of your wits and won't have any fighting spirit in the future." Hua Shengxiong left behind these words, then turned and left.
The next morning, it was rare for there to be no snow falling, what was even more rare was that Hua Ruge had already gotten up from her bed. Before anyone came to send her off, she walked out of Royal College's small door, looked around and found no one following her.
The rules of Hall of Sages stated that the first place of each year's entrance would be directly bestowed the title of Viscount. There was no need to wait until later to accomplish anything, so today, Hua Ruge would be conferred the title of a great noble and would have all the rights and interests of the nobility.
The aristocrats were divided into five ranks, from the oldest to the youngest. These five ranks were divided into three ranks, with the highest ranking being the highest rank.
Hua Ruge was now a level three Baron, and if his contribution points were accumulated to the level of a viscount, he could have his own territory and become a marquis.
The Hall of Sages was located behind the Imperial City and took up an extremely large amount of space, but when one looked at the building up close, it wasn't very impressive.
The iron gate was made of iron bars, and the gap between the gates was extremely big, allowing one to see what was inside. Beside the iron gate was a stone wall, surrounding the huge and mysterious Hall of Sages.
Through the iron gate, Hua Ruge could only see a plaza, nothing else.
There were no guards here, so when Hua Ruge thought about the jade tablet that was sent to his residence two days ago, he took it out and shined it on the door.
A white light flashed around the door, and the back door slowly opened.
This kind of jade plate could only be found in People From The Hall of Saints, it could be used to activate formations and enter and exit by itself.2
"Automatic door, it's very advanced." Hua Ruge exclaimed.
However, at this moment, she saw a group of people walking over from afar, and as they got closer, Hua Ruge discovered that the person leading the group was actually Hua Shengxiong.
The people behind him weren't strong, they were carrying a stretcher with a young man lying on it. Without even thinking, she knew that it was Hua Ruyan.
She slightly raised her brows and thought to herself, "To think that this old fellow actually came here after seeking revenge. He sure is persistent."
When she saw him, he naturally saw her as well.
Hua Shengxiong squinted his eyes and suddenly leaped forward as his large palm grabbed towards Hua Ruge.
His movements were extremely fast, and it was obvious that he was very strong.
Without even thinking about it, Hua Ruge slid forward and entered the door.
The moment she entered, the door closed immediately, and when Hua Shengxiong rushed over, he had already safely entered the room.
Hall of Sages had always been a jade tablet that only one person could pass through.
Hua Ruge patted her chest. She was afraid that Hua Shengxiong would make a move against her this morning, so she left home early.
"Hua Ruge, if you have the ability, come out." Hua Shengxiong said angrily, no longer feeling his usual amiability.
"If you're capable, come in. But I don't think you're capable either. You can't even kill someone in front of the door in the morning. You're really stupid." Hua Ruge sarcastically said.
Hua Shengxiong snorted: "Do you really think that entering the Hall of Sages will be safe?"
"If you don't have the ability, you can just make a racket." Hua Ruge scoffed.
"Hua Ruge, I will kill you! Definitely!" Hua Ruyan laid on the stretcher and said angrily.
"I can't hear clearly. There might be air coming out of my teeth. By the way, have you counted how many teeth I knocked out yesterday?"
Hua Ruyan was so angry that his chest was moving up and down.
Hua Shengxiong's eyes flashed with killing intent, he raised his Qi and shouted towards the inside: "Everyone in the Hall of Sages, Hua Shengxiong is here to visit, do you want to meet me?"
His voice was imbued with spirit energy, and like thunder, it spread throughout the entire Hall of Sages.
Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows. This meant that he knew someone within the Hall of Sages, don't scam him.
As if he had seen through her worry, Hua Shengxiong laughed:
Many of the deacons inside are my schoolmates. If I were to say that you relied on cheating to win, even if there is no evidence, I will investigate you. At that time, it will be very difficult for you to become a noble.
He spoke with confidence. With his status, it was easy for him to take down a small figure.
"Is that so?"
An evil smile suddenly appeared in Hua Ruge's eyes.
