Li Chengfeng knew there would be trouble at home when he was not around, but he did not expect … it to be this serious.
"Young Master …" Yuehan sensed something was wrong when she was less than a hundred metres away from the Li family's house. When the neighbours saw Li Chengfeng, they all had strange looks on their faces, as if they had seen a god of plague. They all shut their doors and windows, only peeking through the gaps of their doors and windows. Some kind-hearted people even waved at Li Chengfeng.
"Something doesn't seem right?" Yuehan stopped in her tracks and looked at Li Chengfeng, who was frowning in confusion.
Li Chengfeng laughed coldly. "It's not just not right!
Great, they think the Li family is in trouble and all sorts of evil people are coming to bully us! "
Yuehan asked worriedly, "Then, Young Master, do you want to avoid them?"
"Hide?"
Li Chengfeng rolled up his sleeves. "This time, the biggest lesson I've learned is that some things cannot be avoided!"
Li Chengfeng strode forward with his head held high. The thugs who had surrounded the Li family were all stunned when they saw this young master walking towards them. They began to whisper to each other.
"Eh, isn't that Young Master Li?"
"Yeah, didn't they say he was dead?"
"Bullsh * t, they said he fell off a cliff!"
"Nonsense, doesn't falling off Wind Mountain mean he's dead?
Why don't you jump and let me see if you'll die! "
"Are your eyes blind? Didn't he come back in one piece?"
The gangsters at the outermost ring looked at Li Chengfeng in awe. They had all been bullied by this Young Master before. Ever since he was thirteen, they had interacted with him. Almost every one of them had been brutally beaten up by Li Chengfeng, to the point where they could not bear to look back on it.
This painful history had taught them one thing: Do not provoke this Young Master Li. Even if you can beat him now, he will definitely come back next time. And next time, he will definitely get back all the losses he has suffered before with interest!
Unless you can kill him!
However, the Li family's yearly tribute to the Spiritual Mountain Sect wasn't for nothing. Which gangster would dare to make a move?
If they hadn't known that this young master had fallen into the bottomless Wind Mountain Range, they would have concluded that this devil incarnate was already dead. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to come looking for trouble.
The gangsters at the outermost edge were not You San's loyal followers. They were afraid of the devil incarnate's tyranny and subconsciously made way for him. The more timid ones even hugged their stomachs and cried out in pain. They ran away, attracting many disdainful glares.
Li Chengfeng's gaze swept across them one by one. It was their habit to step on a dog when it was down. The best part was that in this chaotic situation, they might be able to gain a lot of advantages.
When the thugs saw Li Chengfeng's gaze, their legs trembled. Deep in their minds, they could not help but remember how Li Chengfeng had punished them in the past.
Li Chengfeng walked up to the leader of the hooligans and sized him up. He said coldly, "Brother Bai, why do you have the time to visit the Li family today?
Why are you all standing outside?
Don't you want to come in? "
Brother Bai's face was pale. He forced a smile and said, "Young Master, please don't be angry. We are here to seek justice for our dead brothers. We can't let our dead brothers die in vain while we accompany the Li family to worship their ancestors, right?"
The other hooligans wanted to give Brother Bai a thumbs up, secretly praising his intelligence. How could he come up with such a righteous excuse?
No wonder people called him the Resourceful Star!
Li Chengfeng smiled. "I see. Come in then, let's discuss this."
Brother Bai quickly said, "You must be joking, Young Master. We heard that something happened to you and we were worried that the Li family wouldn't be able to pay you!
Now that Eldest Young Master has returned, Eldest Young Master will definitely be able to pay for it. "
"Oh?
So you're saying that if I don't come back, you're going to bully the rest of my family? "
Brother Bai's expression changed, and he quickly slapped his cheeks. "Yes, yes, yes, no, no, no!
How could I bully the Li family?
I'm just asking for an explanation, an explanation!
Don't you know what kind of person we are?
We're reasonable people! "
The other hooligans agreed in unison. "Yes yes yes, we're reasonable people!"
Li Chengfeng laughed heartily. "Alright, if you're all reasonable, then I guess I'm the unreasonable one?"
Brother Bai's face scrunched up like a bitter gourd. "Young Master, stop fooling around. We know we're wrong, please give us a quick death!"
Li Chengfeng's expression changed and he said coldly, "Strip yourself naked and swim back!"
"Huh?" It wasn't just Brother Bai, all the other hooligans jumped.
It was winter, even the beginning of winter!
Plus, it had snowed heavily two days ago. Half of the river that flowed through Cheng 'an City was still frozen!
Li Chengfeng glanced at him. "Hmm?"
Brother Bai's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to agree, someone stood up and sneered, "What the hell!
A featherless tiger is worse than a dog, a fallen phoenix is worse than … "
This was You San's loyal follower. He was about to scold Li Chengfeng, pointing out his weakness but before he could finish, Li Chengfeng raised his leg and kicked him, sending him flying like a cannonball, crashing through the door and into the front hall.
The other hooligan yelled, "Brother!
Li Chengfeng, don't be so cocky … "
Li Chengfeng did not wait for him to finish. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a bone spear from his back and thrust it through the hooligan's chest.
The man spat out a mouthful of blood and tried to pull the bone spear out with both hands. However, Li Chengfeng used force with one hand and lifted him up with the bone spear. The thug was like a prey that had been pierced, struggling before his death. He only struggled for a few breaths before he gradually stopped moving.
The surrounding hoodlums were in an uproar and quickly retreated.
When Brother Bai saw Li Chengfeng kill two hooligans in the blink of an eye, his legs trembled, his pants wet.
Li Chengfeng held the bone spear with one hand and hung the hooligan on it, then turned to Brother Bai with a half-smile. "I think someone was talking in my ear, did you hear that?"
Brother Bai was shaking like a sieve, his head shaking like a rattle drum. He stammered, "No, no …"
Li Chengfeng's face hardened. "Then why aren't you swimming back?
What are you waiting for?
I'll treat you to dinner! "
Brother Bai seemed to wake up from a dream and was the first to run. But his legs were too weak and he fell after running for a few meters. He quickly got up and ran out of the alley while tugging at his clothes. As he ran, the other hoodlums followed his orders, tugging at their clothes while running out of the alley. They followed Brother Bai's figure and ran towards the river in the middle of the city.
Fortunately, the river in the city was not too far away. Li Chengfeng could see the river just outside the alley. Yuehan could see a group of shirtless men running towards the river in the city, then jumping in like dumplings. The group of men floated in the frozen river, their screams rising and falling. The fishermen who were rowing their boats along the river were all dumbfounded. Even the young and lively fisherwomen screamed and hid in the boat, not daring to come out again.
Even Yuehan, who had lived for a long time, had never seen such a scene before. She was dumbfounded, lowering her head and covering her face with her hands. However, the gaps between her fingers were wide open, revealing her eyes as she giggled.
