Starting with Xingyi Quan, it swept across the chaotic world.

"Father, did you really sell the things my elder brother and sister-in-law left for Xiao Li?"

A voice filled with anxiety and anger suddenly rang out in the Lu family home.

Lu Zhiyuan's face twitched; even facing his own father, he couldn't hide his anger.

Across from him, the old master of the Lu family was puffing on his pipe, and only after a long while did he glance at Lu Zhiyuan:

"Yes, Xiao Heng needs money to learn martial arts."

"Those things were saved by my elder brother and the others for Xiao Li's wedding; how could you sell them!"

Lu Zhiyuan slammed his hand on the table, smashing the teacup on the floor.

In an instant, the warm tea splashed everywhere.

Seeing Lu Zhiyuan get angry, Old Master Lu slammed his pipe on the table, stood up, and cursed:

"I'm his father! I gave him his life! What's wrong with using his things? I raised him with so much care and effort, is it wrong to use his things?!"

Tensions rose between the two sides, and the situation escalated. More and more people rushed forward to try and stop this farcical scene of father and son killing each other.

As the center of this storm, Lu Li stood still, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Even after time travel, can't we avoid this kind of biased drama?" Lu Li sighed.

Half a month ago, he had a stroke of luck on the road and unexpectedly traveled to this place, becoming the only son of the Lu family's eldest branch. Now he is practicing martial arts at the White Crane Martial Arts Hall in the outer city of Lin'an.

The reason for today's farce is that my third uncle arranged a marriage for me, and the other family was also willing. So my third uncle, Lu Zhiyuan, returned to the Lu family ancestral home to inform the old master of this happy event.

Unexpectedly, after some questioning, it was learned that Old Master Lu had sold all the jewelry that the original owner's parents had left for him to get married.

All of this was done so that Lu Heng, Lu Li's cousin, could learn martial arts!

"Third brother, is it really worth getting angry with our father over a nephew?" Lu Zhiyuan's second brother, Lu Zhili, tried to mediate.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiyuan not only didn't appreciate it, but instead snorted coldly repeatedly:

"Of course you're happy that your son is benefiting, but don't forget that last year you cried and refused to go to the forced labor service, and it was your eldest brother and sister-in-law who took our places! Now that Xiao Li's parents aren't here, all you do is bully him, a junior!"

Lu Zhiyuan took a deep breath:

"People should know how to repay kindness! I ask you, whose kindness have you received?"

The sound echoed throughout the hall, and Lu Zhili's eyes darted around, unsure how to respond.

Silence fell over the hall.

Everyone knows one fact.

In previous years, Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Zhili were selected for corvée labor.

At the time, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were at war, and everyone knew that this trip might really be the last.

Lu Zhili was terrified and cried out for his parents, sobbing all night in front of the main house.

In the end, the first wife and her husband adopted Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Zhili's names.

Before leaving, they only told everyone to take good care of Lu Li.

"Of course it's my doing!"

Old Master Lu tapped the tea table with his pipe:

"I raised you to adulthood, how will you repay me?"

"I've had someone assess him. Lu Heng has average physical attributes, while Lu Li has low physical attributes. The martial arts exams start next year, so I hope you can tell which is more important."

When Grandpa Lu talked about martial arts, a look of reverie unconsciously appeared on his face.

The Great Yong Dynasty was founded on military strength, and martial arts were revered!

In the Great Yong Dynasty, if one can pass the military examination, not only can one be exempted from taxes and corvée labor, but some may even rise rapidly to the throne.

If Xiao Heng could truly pass the martial arts examination and become a martial arts scholar, that would truly bring glory to the family.

After all, Xiao Heng has only average physical attributes.

As for Xiao Li...

"I heard that Xiao Li isn't very dedicated to the martial arts school, otherwise how could she have caught a cold?" The old man of the Lu family glanced at Lu Li intentionally or unintentionally.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li remained silent.

The original owner of this body did not make any progress at the martial arts school. He took a fancy to the female disciples and fawned over them all day long. He also drank heavily and once fell into the river after getting drunk. He died from a cold.

It should be noted that since his original parents passed away, he had been raised by his third uncle.

This feeling is really like some high school students who mess around at school, rely solely on cheating and copying in exams, maintain a glamorous image at home, but ultimately explode during the college entrance exam.

Fortunately, the original owner of the body hadn't detonated any lightning, but it had still aroused some suspicion.

However, I should be able to deceive everyone through my own efforts.

Even if one's own constitution is only of inferior quality.

This is not because Lu Li is arrogant, but because he has his own confidence.

Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and the next moment, a line of text appeared before his eyes:

[Introduction to Liuhe Zhuang Gong (104/500)]

[Introduction to Xingyi Quan (81/500)]

When Lu Li transmigrated to this world, such a panel appeared in his mind.

And the function of this "golden finger" is self-evident.

As long as you practice your skills, you will improve. You will receive real-time feedback and your skills will be permanently solidified. As long as you put in the effort, you will definitely be rewarded!

"Those are all rumors!" Lu Zhiyuan clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Li, let's go. I have to redeem the things that my elder brother left behind."

With that, he led Lu Li outside.

He already knew that his trip today was destined to be futile.

"stop."

But just as the two were about to step out the door, a nonchalant voice drifted over.

Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Li turned around in surprise.

"Xiao Heng is preparing for next year's martial arts exam. Third brother, you need to pay for the house. Also, Xiao Li's martial arts training should be stopped. Save the money to support Xiao Heng. When Xiao Heng achieves success in his studies, he will not forget you."

"Xiao Li, your third uncle doesn't understand, but I hope you can. Try to persuade your third uncle properly."

The old man's words floated over lightly.

Lu Zhiyuan clenched his fists even tighter.

Just as he was about to speak, Lu Li spoke first:

"Grandpa, are you so sure I'll amount to nothing in the future?"

Lu Li did not intend to accept Old Master Lu's suggestion to persuade his third uncle.

Given the kindness my family has shown to my second uncle's family, if they can still be so arrogant and disrespectful, then if Lu Heng were to actually pass the imperial examination and become a martial arts scholar one day, I don't know how much they would oppress me and my third uncle!

Moreover, the Great Yong Dynasty was founded on military strength, and martial arts were highly respected.

I must continue practicing martial arts no matter what, because it is the only way out.

"Xiao Li, you've been in the martial arts school for three months now and haven't been able to break through your cultivation level yet. Your chances in this lifetime are slim. Right now, it's the crucial time for Xiao Heng to break through his cultivation level. Xiao Heng's martial arts training is a matter of great importance to the rise and fall of our Lu family. If you save some money for Xiao Heng, he will never treat you unfairly in the future." Old Master Lu took another puff of his pipe.

He looked at Lu Li before him, his mind drifting to his gentle, dull eldest son, and finally spoke slowly:

"You and your father have always been very sensible since you were little. I hope you can take a step back this time too."

He did not believe that such favoritism was biased.

Because everything he did was for the Lu family!

Only if Xiao Heng breaks through the barrier and becomes a martial arts scholar will the Lu family have a chance to rise to prominence!

As for Xiao Li?

That was just a necessary sacrifice.

"Xiao Li! Don't listen to him! Let's go!" Lu Zhiyuan said anxiously.

"I'm asking Xiao Li, you have no right to speak here!" Old Master Lu slammed his hand on the table.

Everyone was waiting for Lu Li's answer.

Old Master Chen and his second son, Lu Zhili, had already envisioned the scene of Lu Li agreeing.

Because that's how it's always been.

But at this moment, Lu Li smiled and walked outside:

"What if this time, we don't want to be sensible anymore?"

"Let's end this favoritism after all these years!"

Lu Zhiyuan, who was standing at the door, was somewhat moved upon hearing this.

The old man's favoritism has wronged Xiao Li far too much.

Just as Lu Li was about to leave, he turned back and said:

"Grandpa, what makes you think I'll never be able to pass the test in this lifetime? What makes you think my achievements will be inferior to Lu Heng's?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu's expression changed, and he frowned as he looked at Lu Li.

He never expected that Lu Li, who was usually so weak, would go against his wishes this time.

"snort."

Old Master Lu snorted coldly and pointed to the door:

"Then get out of the Lu family! Once you're out of this house, don't ever come back!"

He didn't think Lu Li would dare to step out of this house.

To survive in Lin'an City, the power of a family is indispensable. Many hands make light work, and sticking together for mutual support is the way for ordinary people to survive.

"Bang!"

The only response he received was the loud slam of the door closing.
