Chapter 2699: Explain
The steward walked past the young man slowly. The young man came out of his reverie and he stepped forward quickly to hold on to the steward and hurriedly asked: “What did the Patriarch mean by what he said earlier? I only asked a few questions, why does the Patriarch want to transfer me out?”
The steward raised his lowered eyelids and glanced at him, then said: “Before Young Master Feng came out, Old Patriarch had already sent someone to the Li Family to find Old Patriarch Li, who was in seclusion. Although I don’t know what Old Patriarch told the dark guard to tell Old Patriarch Li, but what I am certain of is that the Old Patriarch must have told the dark guard to tell Old Patriarch Li that his son has provoked someone who cannot be provoked, and if it wasn’t handled properly, it will bring disaster to the Li Family.”
The steward spoke in a leisurely manner, he had a godlike calm appearance: “Young Master Feng is no ordinary person. If Old Patriarch Li had come a step later, Patriarch Li would probably have been dead. If Patriarch Li had really died, then the matter would become serious. At that point, even if Old Patriarch Li doesn’t want to fight Young Master Feng, the death of his son must be avenged, and it will become troublesome. After all, Young Master Feng’s strength is unfathomable, and we don’t know his background. Who knows whether he has some big family backing him or not?”
The young man listened dumbfoundedly, why hadn’t he thought about all those implications?
“Even if the Li Family are able to kill Young Master Feng, there will be consequences. I am afraid the forces behind Young Master Feng and his family will not spare the Li Family. And if they cannot beat Young Master Feng, then the Li Family will be killed and a big family will crumble. So our Old Patriarch helped the Li Family avoid a catastrophe.”
The steward glanced at him standing there and continued speaking: “So, when you asked what news, this is the news. You are part of a big family clan and yet you are unable to see the intricacies of the matter, and don’t understand it. How can you be qualified to stay by the Patriarch’s side? It makes sense for the Patriarch to transfer you to gain more experience. After all, the Patriarch is not blind like Patriarch Li, otherwise, why am I the steward and not you?”
The young man stared at him in astonishment. As he watched the steward step away, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Indeed, he didn’t think about matters as deeply, and sometimes his brain seemed to work at half a beat slower. After he had been told this, he knew where the problem was. Even so, he still held back a choke in his heart.
Had he known, had he known he wouldn’t have asked so many questions.
At this time, Feng Jiu had entered the wing-room in the airship to cultivate, while the Xie siblings also went to their own room to practice when they saw this. At the bow of the airship, there were only a few members of the Guo Family there.
…
Guo Xinning poured a cup of tea for his Grandfather, and was unable to suppress asking the question: “Grandfather, Old Patriarch Li was in seclusion, how did you get him to come out of seclusion?”
“Hehe, Old Man Li is in seclusion all year round, how can the dark guard go to the place where he has retreated? I only instructed the dark guard to go to Old Man Li’s second son first. His second son isn’t as ambitious and after a few words, he knew exactly what he had to do.”
The Old Patriarch took a sip of tea and said with a smile: “So he took the dark guard to see Old Man Li, and I told the dark guard to tell Old Man Li that his son had provoked someone that can’t be provoked. If he didn’t want a catastrophe to befall his whole family, then he had to deal with it quickly.”
Guo Xinning was slightly startled: “So he believed Grandfather’s words and rushed over?”
