05. The Shame of the Li family

The faces of the Li family patriarch and his family members turned extremely ugly after hearing Lin Tian's words. They also knew that the origin of Li Ziin's power was a third-tier sword spirit, a green sword. A sword that had the element of wood and could also be considered a mid-level half-spirit. Upon hearing this, Long Hu was also shocked and understood that his nephew had been betrayed by Li Ziin, and the spirit that Long Chen had received had been taken away. Long Hu understood that the wounds were all over Long Chen's body and the reason why Long Chen never told anyone about it was just because he was disappointed in Li Ziin's nature.

"Don't just talk! My son earned it on his own. Why would he need the help of a trash like you?" Li Jun would not accept his son being insulted by Long Chen. Even if what Long Chen said was true, he would never admit it because it would destroy his son's reputation in the eyes of many people.

"Huh, Uncle is right. Then I apologize." Long Chen innocently bowed, his head slightly towards Li Jun, leaving everyone who saw his behavior stunned. Long Chen's relaxed nature made people feel sorry for him, the feeling of being betrayed by one's lover was truly more painful than being stabbed by a sword.

"You!"

"Head of the family, let's get out of here." One of the Li family elders persuaded Li Jun to leave the Long family residence. He realized Long Chen's calm and innocent nature had made many people trust him. And if they were still here, it would certainly make everyone who saw them believe Long Chen's words even more. Li Jun also understands that they can't answer the Long family here, let alone insult them. Now, even their Li family has become an insult in the eyes of many people who see them.

"Let's go back! As of today, the Li and Long families have no ties whatsoever." Before turning to leave, Li Jun gave the Long family a disgusted look. He would avenge the humiliation he received a hundred times over, of course, he had planned to destroy the Long family a long time ago. Originally, Li Jun wanted to take advantage of the Long family because of their engagement, but now he doesn't need the Long family because his son will be accepted into the Eastern Continent's Tier One Sect.

"Oooh ... I see! It seems that Uncle Li is already too big to stand on his own. Then, the Long family is happy with the Li family's development. Well, now I can take home a lot of treasures instead of the usual years of helping the Li family. Ha, this is truly a blessing from God." Long Chen sighed happily as he stretched out his arms as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

But what he didn't know? The words he had just uttered almost made the entire Li family, who had just left the Long residence, fall. His words also made all the people there think worse of the Li family, as if they were ungrateful for the Long family's help all these years, or as if Li Ziin was shameless in breaking off the engagement after benefiting from Long Chen.

Plak!

"Ouch! Uncle, why did you hit me?" Long Chen's head was hit hard by Long Hu and the other two elders.

"Kid! Do you still want to steal our family treasure after you know there's not much treasure left? How dare you! Are you as shameless as a bean that forgets its skin?"

"What did you say, Uncle? A bean forgetting its skin? Hey, peanuts certainly forget their shells. Because people only eat peanuts, not their shells. Uncle's words are a bit incomprehensible to me, and also too ugly for an old uncle to say." While Long Chen was still talking, he slowly backed away before running away very quickly from the presence of Long Hu, who was still annoyed by Long Chen's actions.

"Brat!"

All the elders there shouted at Long Chen at the same time after realizing that the brat had escaped from their sight. The young people of the Long family saw that Long Chen, who had run away without caring about what had just happened, admired Long Chen. They were the Long family, and although they often insulted Long Chen, they sincerely wished to see Long's genius once again. However, they also understand how Long Chen felt three years ago when he was betrayed by his lover and friend.

"If the Spirit Sword is in Brother Chen's hands, he must have surpassed our family elders. And maybe he's been in a Tier 1 sect for a long time."

"Yes, I feel sorry for Brother Chen. I thought he was lazy and mischievous just because he was trash, but now I realize that the thing that grounded him and made him the bastard was all because of that poisonous woman.

"I always saw that Big Brother Chen loved Li Ziin, even Big Brother Chen didn't hesitate to give the second-level pill, which was very expensive in Yulan City, just to help Li Ziin increase her strength.

Some of the Long family's young people hated the Li family, especially Li Ziin, who was ungrateful for what Long Chen had done. Long Hu and the elders who saw Long Chen disappearing could only sigh, and they could only hope that Long Chen wasn't too worried about what was happening here. After giving the order to take care of his dead family's funeral, Long Hu took his family elders back to the hall to discuss how to deal with the Li family after what they had done earlier.

.......

"Is what you said true?"

"Yes, the Li family has completely cut ties with the Long family, and I heard that the daughter of the head of the Li family has also joined one of the first-level sects in the eastern continent." In a rather large hall, several people were talking about the Long Family's turmoil.

The hall was the place of one of the families in Yulan City that belonged to the same three great families as Long and Li. That family was the Bei family, who was also the mayor of Yulan City.

"That Li family is ungrateful. After everything the Long family did for them, they completely cut ties with them. Just because Li Ziin joined a first-level sect." One of the Bei family elders condemned the Li family's shamelessness.
