destiny eternal calamity

Li Family Funeral Hall.

Li Anxing led his son and daughter into the mourning hall. Upon seeing the memorial tablets placed there, he showed no sadness at all, but instead wore a cheerful expression.

Seeing that there was no one else in the mourning hall except himself and his two children, Li Anxing stopped pretending and pointed at the memorial tablet, his face contorted with rage as he accused Li Wei's father of all sorts of wrongdoings.

"Brother, I told you to stop caring about your good-for-nothing son and focus all your resources and energy on Li Ye, but you just wouldn't listen."

"Now look what's happened! You're dead, leaving behind such a vast fortune. Can your good-for-nothing son hold onto it? He can't! Only my lineage, Li Anxing's lineage, can preserve this family business and bring glory to the Li family!"

He paused for a moment.

"Don't worry, brother. For the sake of our uncle-nephew relationship, once I inherit this huge fortune you left behind, I will definitely make sure Li Wei has something to eat."

"As long as I, Li Anxing, am alive, I will never let Li Wei starve to death. After all, I am not a heartless and ungrateful person."

Li Wei, who had already appeared outside the mourning hall, naturally heard all of Li Anxing's words, but he listened silently without showing any expression.

Li Wei remained calm, but Uncle Xu, who was following behind him, looked indignant.

Having followed Li Wei's father for so many years and seen many grand occasions, he considered himself to have mastered the art of self-control. Yet, upon hearing these words, he was still quite angered.

He'd lived half his life and this was the first time he'd ever seen someone so shameless!

Li Wei strode into the mourning hall, his eyes sweeping over Li Anxing's family.

Uncle Li Anxing, with an undisguised smile on his face, cousin Li Ye, who was also grinning from ear to ear, and cousin Li Le, who always had a cold expression on her face.

The three of them were truly a family. Their eldest brother and uncle, who had always taken good care of them, had died, but instead of being saddened at all, they were already eagerly discussing how to divide the vast fortune left by Li Wei's father.

Seeing that Li Wei not only did not greet them but instead stood there scrutinizing them with a critical eye, Li Anxing was very dissatisfied.

One second he was dreaming of swallowing this huge fortune whole, rising to the top and reaching the pinnacle of life.

His old face was beaming with joy.

In the blink of an eye, Li Anxing's old face, which had been grinning from ear to ear, visibly collapsed, and soon a long, donkey-like face appeared before Li Wei.

This was immediately followed by Li Anxing's lecturing tone, delivered in the manner of an elder:

"Li Wei, what are you standing there for? You don't even know to greet your third uncle now?"

"Oh."

Faced with Li Anxing's lecturing tone, Li Wei only responded with a cold laugh.

say hello?

Looking at Li Anxing's old donkey-like face, Li Wei's patience was already at its limit if he didn't slap him directly to insult him.

Seeing that Li Wei not only did not greet his father, but also sneered, Li Ye, who always regarded his father as a role model, was furious.

Li Ye stepped forward, staring angrily at Li Wei:

"Li Wei, how dare you show such disrespect to my father?!"

"You're nothing but an orphan without parents, a piece of trash who can't even break through the body tempering stage. If you don't get the protection of me and my father, you'll probably be dumped in the wilderness in a few days."

Back when Li Wei's father was still alive, Li Anxing's family was lazy and good-for-nothing. Li Ye also wanted to practice martial arts, which cost a lot of money, so they lived off the small favors given by Li Wei's father.

Back then, when they spoke to Li Wei, they didn't dare say a single harsh word.

Li Wei's father is now gone.

Every kind of monster and deity wants to jump out and kick Li Wei while he's down.

If it were the son of a high-ranking official in the court, or a martial arts expert above the Meridian Opening stage, then that would be one thing.

He has already reached the 'Meridian Opening Realm' through spending money.

Li Anxing and his son were merely two minor Karami at the 'Body Tempering Realm' stage.

Do they even deserve to bare their teeth in front of him again and again?

How dare they try to seize his family property?

You wish!

Think about this.

Seeing Li Ye jump out and taunt him so directly, Li Wei decided not to tolerate him any longer.

After all, giving in to such shameless people repeatedly will only embolden them to take advantage of you.

Over the years, Li Ye had always been patient and restrained in front of Li Wei. Now that Li Wei's father was dead and Li Wei's backer was gone, Li Ye finally didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

To provoke Li Wei, he started by targeting an orphan.

If Li Wei dares to talk back, then don't blame him for being impolite!

At this moment, Li Ye was secretly gathering his strength, eagerly anticipating Li Wei's retort.

Before he could even take any action...

Li Wei had already swung his arm in all the way, his five fingers forming a palm.

With a whoosh, the palm sliced ​​through the air with a sharp, explosive sound.

next moment.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the mourning hall.

The entire venue fell silent instantly.

But soon.

Li Ye covered his right cheek, which was swollen, red, and burning, in disbelief.

A brief look of surprise crossed his face, followed by a surge of rage that twisted his features into a ferocious grimace as he hysterically roared at Li Wei:

"Li Wei, how dare you hit me?"

"How dare you hit me?!"

His tone was filled with disbelief, and even more so with boundless anger.

When Li Anxing saw that his eldest son had been beaten by Li Wei without warning, his old face instantly fell.

Li Wei slapped more than just Li Ye in the face.

It's still Li Anxing's old face that gets slapped.

Li Wei's father, Li Anxing's elder brother, is no longer alive.

Li Wei actually dared to be so lawless, he simply didn't take his third uncle, Li Anxing, seriously.

Since that's the case, then he'll teach his nephew Li Wei a lesson on behalf of his elder brother.

The older brother was unwilling to physically teach Li Wei the rules.

Then he'll come!

But when Li Anxing made a move, Uncle Xu, who had been silently watching from the sidelines, quietly took a step forward.

Uncle Xu stood straight behind Li Wei, his gaze fixed on Li Anxing without any attempt to look away.

As an old man who had followed Li Wei's father for more than 20 years, Uncle Xu was originally Li Anguo's capable deputy in the army. However, due to serious injuries on the battlefield, he simply left the army and was willing to become a steward in the Li family, spending his days with firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Uncle Xu is usually very low-key and has always been a man of few words.

But this does not mean that he is weak.

Uncle Xu was seriously wounded on the battlefield more than ten years ago, and the wound was to a vital organ.

Although he was fortunate enough to survive thanks to Li Anguo's desperate rescue, his cultivation level stagnated from then on, remaining stuck at the "Body Tempering" stage and unable to make any further progress.

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. In the realm of "body tempering", Uncle Xu has reached perfection, and almost no one in the same realm can rival him.
