My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

237 Going to the Meeting Hall

Bang!

“This is too much! This is simply too much! Isn’t this blatant framing?” Li Zeshi’s eyes were bloodshot as he smashed the stone table beside him into pieces.

“If it was really the work of Son-in-law, with Son-in-law’s style of doing things, how could he let Li Buchang die in public? He must have died without anyone knowing, just like Zhang Dagen’s work.”

As Li Zeshi spoke, he stood up abruptly. “I’ll go and look for Big Brother now. We must get to the bottom of this matter and prove Young Master’s innocence!”

“There’s no need for that.”

Outside the door, Second Uncle Li Zewu walked out with a gloomy face.

“I just came back from Big Brother’s place.”

“What does big brother mean?” Li Zeshi looked at Li Zewu expectantly.

Qin Huai couldn’t help but cast a sidelong glance, anticipating his father-in-law’s reaction.

Li Zewu laughed bitterly. “Big Brother said that he only believes in evidence.”

“But where are we going to find evidence now?”

The two of them looked worried. They also knew that if Zhang Haoyue really did it, then there was a high chance that the witness evidence was at the Fengxing Auction House. However, they did not have the ability to make the Fengxing Auction House hand over the person.

“Uncles, don’t worry. Leave the witnesses and evidence to me,” Qin Huai said slowly.

“Does Son-in-law have a way?”

“I guess so.” Qin Huai kept them in suspense. “However, the sect meeting hall tomorrow will not be peaceful, so the two uncles must be mentally prepared.”

“Don’t worry, Son-in-law. No matter what happens, I, Li Zeshi, will definitely stand on your side!” Li Zeshi said firmly.

“Other than standing on Son-in-law’s side, my second branch has no other choice, right?” Li Zewu also expressed his stance.

…

Late at night, Qingshui quickly pushed open Qin Huai’s room door. “Sir, that matter has been settled.”

“Got it.” Qin Huai nodded and continued to dip his equipment in poison.

Qingshui continued, “Also… Miss replied that she would definitely rush back on time for the sect meeting tomorrow. Miss also said that Old Master had been bewitched by the Zhang family all these years and was deeply poisoned… The sect meeting tomorrow might not be too biased towards you unless you can produce very strong evidence.

“There’s one last sentence.” Qingshui paused, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

“What is it?” Qin Huai looked up.

“Miss said that you are the Li family’s destiny. No matter what decision you make, Miss will support you without hesitation.”

Qin Huai fell silent for a moment. “My wife is very thoughtful.”

Since Li Shaoxiang trusted him so much, he would definitely not let her down.

However, the relationship in the Nine Dragons sect was complicated. What exactly was his father-in-law’s stance? Apart from the second and fourth branches of the Li family, were the other families fence-sitters or firm lackeys of the Zhang family?

He didn’t know anything.

And why did the Zhang family miss him from the beginning… If they wanted to kill him, couldn’t they just send a bone pattern realm warrior? And why did they go through so much trouble to frame him?

It was as if there were clouds of fog blocking Qin Huai’s vision, making it difficult for him to set things right.

…

The morning sun was bright, and the warm wind was warm.

Qin Huai woke up and washed up as usual.

He sat at the table and slowly finished his breakfast with Fourth Uncle and Second Uncle.

In front of the courtyard, there was already a group of Li family disciples waiting for them with stern expressions. They were all from the first, third, fifth, and sixth branches.

“Qin Huai, please!”

The man in the lead was Li Zeren’s right-hand man, his real brother, Li Zetao. However, his gaze was stiff. Even when he looked at Li Zewu and Li Zeshi, who were of the same blood clan, his expression did not change at all.

“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, I’m afraid you’ll have to keep a certain distance from Qin Huai.” Li Zetao looked at the two of them coldly.

“You…”

“Uncles, don’t worry. It’s just a few steps. Nothing will happen to me.” Qin Huai nodded at them.

He carried Silver Fox and walked alone at the front of the group.

Within a ten-meter radius, only Li Zetao was slower than Qin Huai by half a step, as if he was guarding a criminal. He followed closely behind.

“Don’t talk. Listen to me.” Li Zetao’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Qin Huai’s expression did not change, but the two of them slowed down their footsteps in tacit understanding.

What Li Zetao used was a technique that allowed him to control the nine dragons true qi technique with extreme precision. There were only a handful of people in the entire Nine Dragons sect who knew this move.

“Big Brother is not as foolish as you think. What he is doing now is just beyond his control. The Li family is now riddled with holes. Except for the first, second, and fourth branches, half of the people are wavering. Some of them have long joined the Zhang family and have been monitoring Big Brother’s every move.

“And you know very well that the Li family’s current strength is not enough to fight against the Zhang family.”

Li Zetao’s heart couldn’t help but feel heavy when he mentioned this. Even his voice paused for a moment to calm down.

Then, he continued, “Eldest Brother wanted to isolate you on the surface and give you the cold shoulder so that the Zhang family would let their guard down.

“Wait until your realm rises to a level that surpasses everyone else before you counterattack… However, for some reason, the Zhang family has been keeping an eye on you. It’s even greater than infiltrating the Li family.

“I’ve forced you to this extent step by step.”

Qin Huai suddenly understood. He didn’t expect his father-in-law to have hidden it so well.

During that one-on-one meeting, Qin Huai had carefully observed Li Zeren’s expression and mannerisms, but he couldn’t see any flaws.

As expected of the head of the Li family of the Nine Dragons sect.
