Chapter 281 Chapter 281 Abandoned
Outside the carriage,
"We are under attack; take position and secure the carriage."
The guards hurriedly spoke, stationing the horses around the carriage while looking at the surroundings with vigilance.
"Stand by; it is the master. I think there is a misunderstanding."
Li Gong's voice sounded, and then he walked outside the carriage. Looking at his daughter and wife, he let them stay inside.
"Master?" The guards were startled; their hearts sank, and they backed away along with their horses.
Li Gong glanced at the trees lowered on the path in front, blocking their way, and then glanced at the right side of the path.
"I think you confused me with someone else. Show yourself and explain the reason for stopping our way," Li Gong asked calmly, looking in the direction of the tree.
The next moment, his face changed seeing a small figure walk outside from the dark area along with the head of the captain,
"It's you?" Li Gong's eyes widened in horror; no wonder he is so surprised; anyone would show such an extreme expression when seeing an eight-year-old Master of the Path.
Lin Lee walked and appeared in front of him with a head hanging in his hand,
"Here you will recognize this person; your wife ordered them to kill me and sell my mother to the brothel. If you didn't give me a satisfactory explanation, then I will kill you all here."
Lin Lee said, directly throwing the leader guard's head toward his feet,
Li Gong's eyes widened in surprise, and then his heart sank looking at the head that rolled and stopped in front of him, looking at the bloody head facing him without eyeballs, and then he turned and glanced at the pale guards behind him; one of them nodded in his direction.
Li Gong clenched his fist tightly and then walked toward the carriage, opened the door, and then glanced at the Gao Lin inside coldly and said, "Come out."
"Dear, what happened?" Gao Lin's heart jumped seeing her husband's cold expression, and then she hurriedly walked outside the carriage.
Upon stepping outside the carriage, she glanced around, suddenly as if her feet became heavy and stuck to the ground, looking at the familiar head on the ground in a daze,
"It's really your doing; how dare you?" Li Gong's annoyed voice sounded from behind her,
"I didn't do it on purpose; I just wanted to teach them a lesson. That bitch and her son didn't show any respect to our minister's house." She scoffed in return and then noticed the Lin Lee far away,
"It's him. I don't like his attitude, and why is he here? What's happening here?" She hurriedly spoke, pointing at Lin Lee, and then asked with a confused expression,
Slap!!!
Instantly a slap fell on her face, throwing her on the ground; her body slid on the ground, leaving a deep mark.
"Shut up," Li Gong's angry voice exploded in her eardrum; she hurriedly sat up and touched her ear; the pain in her ear and neck made her
senseless,
"Why did you slap me?" Gao Lin, dazed, turned and glanced in the direction of her husband; she couldn't believe the husband who loved her so much and didn't beat her even once would slap her so hard.
"Mother, what happened?" Li Lu's voice from behind sounded; she walked out from the carriage, looking at her mother sitting on the ground in surprise.
Just as she wanted to go toward her mother, she stopped; a hand grabbed her shoulder and stopped her.
"Father, what are you doing?" Li Lu asked with a suspicious expression,
Li Gong sighed and then stroked her back neck, then grabbed her when she fell toward the ground unconscious, picked her up, and then glanced at Lin Lee and turned around and walked toward the carriage saying,
"I am leaving her to you; she doesn't belong to the Li family after today. I don't know her; she isn't my wife, nor is she the mother of my daughter."
After putting the Lu Li inside the carriage, he turned around, glanced at Lin Lee, and sighed, clasped his hands, bowed his head, and apologized and requested with a sad expression,
"I am sorry for causing you trouble. I request Master Yi raise your hand and spare our Li family. I assure you that I, my Li family, and my daughter bear no ill will against you or any member of Yuan Mansion."
"W-what are you doing, Li Gong? Why are you bowing to this little... Gao Lin asked stutteringly while pointing at Li Gong in horror; she couldn't believe her ears after hearing his words; she even pointed at Lin Lee and wanted to curse without realizing the situation.
"Shut up; you already lost your wife status after pulling strings behind my back. After today, don't associate yourself with me or the Li family," Li Gong replied firmly without looking at her; instead, he was bowing toward Lin Lee.
Lin Lee raised his brow looking at Li Gong bowing in front of him and asked thoughtfully, "Why did you bow down so soon? Since you are also a master, you can try fighting me or show a little resistance, something like struggle against the enemy."
"Master Yi, you are joking. You are stronger than me and much younger than me; you are definitely a heavenly incarnation. If I struggled or fought back, then not only I, my daughter, and the Li family will also be annihilated," Li Gong replied humbly with a bead of sweat falling through his cheek.
'What a tough will! Despite seeing my decision and hearing my apology, his coldness and ruthlessness didn't reduce a bit. It seems the Li family is in trouble; I hope he spares the Li family in the face of his father; that Yuan Hao is really a lucky bastard.'
Li Gong thought to himself, recalling the Yuan Hao face, and then regret and remorse spread through his heart, feeling today's arrival in the Yuan mansion was the worst decision of his life.
While Lin Lee raised his brow, feeling the regret and remorse released by the Li Gong body, he turned and glanced at Gao Lin.
She was sitting on the ground in a daze while staring at the bowing Li Gong; after a while, her body trembled, and then she turned and glanced in the direction of Lin Lee; her face turned pale.
'Annihilated? Did he say Li family annihilation?' She thought to herself,
Meanwhile, Lin Lee glanced at her and then waved his hand; instantly, the trees in the surrounding hill shook, and long wooden spikes pierced out from them and shot toward the Gao Lin on the ground.
Thud! Thud!! Thud!!!
Piercing through her heart, skull, and stomach, as well as other parts of her body, the bloody spikes pierced out from the other side of her body and embedded tightly in the ground.
Suck!!!
Li Gong's heart trembled, feeling the intense pain in his heart, feeling the breath of his wife passing away; she couldn't even speak because one of the spikes pierced her mouth.
Li Gong controlled his emotion forcefully and didn't dare to turn and glance in the direction of his wife, just bowing in front of Lin Lee.
Lin Lee raised his brow looking at the bloody Gao Lin and then glanced at Li Gong and waved his hand, saying, "You and your daughter can leave; also, if you want to take revenge in the future, then find me."
'Forget the future; I am even feeling helpless now.' Li Gong thought and then stood up and spoke, "Thank you, Master Yi, for showing mercy."
Then he glanced at the frightened guards staying in place and then walked toward the carriage, saying, "Bury her and then return to the Li House; let's go."
"Yes, Minister Li," The guards hurriedly spoke and then walked toward the corpse of Gao Lin, while the carriage drifted away.
Lin Lee glanced at the guards and then glanced at the carriage, shook his head, and then turned around and flashed toward the Yuan mansion.
Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Li Gong glanced at his daughter, patted her head silently, and then a cold and weird color flashed through his eyes.
'If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have let him kill my wife; at that time he was bloodthirsty for revenge, probably more angry because of the marriage annulment. Damn Li Gong, how can you do such a loss-making business? After returning, I have to talk to the emperor; that boy's personality is a huge threat to this empire.'
Li Gong thought to himself, then sighed, turned, and glanced in the direction of the dark sky outside through the carriage window.
…
On the other hand,
Lin Lee returned to the mansion, looking at Yi Yun standing in front of him with a little worried expression on her face.
After seeing Lin Lee arrive in front of her, she hurriedly walked forward and started checking his body with a worried expression and started questioning in a barrage,
"How are you? Where did you go? I was so worried about you. Are you injured?"
