Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

"Furthermore, I urge elder brother to reconsider whether to acknowledge this relationship. After all, the incident back then spread throughout the entire city, becoming the laughingstock of the East District."

"Your grandson is clearly lacking in virtue and not worthy of his position."

The recent incident made Liu Xinyi, the second master of the Liu family, even more opposed to the decision previously made by his elder brother, Liu Xinzhi.

To reinstate Liuu Wanwan into the Liu family genealogy and to recognize Jiang Li as the Liu family's son-in-law.

All of this had been secretly discussed and decided even before Liuu Wanwan returned for a family visit.

Because of the information brought back by Liuu Sansheng.

Because Jiang Li's younger brother, Jiang Ning, now holds a position of high power and authority in Luoshui County.

The most crucial point is that Jiang Ning is too young at this time, having limitless potential for the future.

This is the primary reason they made this decision.

To mend the relationship and recognize Jiang Li as the Liu family's son-in-law to gain future benefits from Jiang Ning's upward journey.

From the perspective of the family's overall interests, this is undoubtedly a very wise decision.

So even if Liuu Wanwan hadn't come for this visit, they would choose to repair the previously broken relationship at an appropriate time.

And now, Liuu Wanwan has personally come to the door.

Even though they had already secretly discussed and decided, they were not prepared to capitulate so easily.

In this matter, Liu Xinyi was also the most prominent leader of the opposition.

Meanwhile.

Hearing these words from his second brother Liu Xinyi, Clan Leader Liu Xinzhi couldn't help but look at Jiang Yiming.

At this time, Jiang Yiming was holding Liu Boming in his hand, still like holding a dead pig.

His gaze immediately fell on Liu Boming, and upon seeing Liu Boming's swollen and bloated face, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"Yiming, is this how your parents taught you about conduct?" Liu Xinzhi looked at Jiang Yiming and spoke.

"And who are you?" Jiang Yiming asked.

At this moment, Little Dumpling was also clutching his leg.

"Liu Xinzhi, your mother's biological father, your grandfather."

"Grandfather?" Jiang Yiming shook his head: "You are not my grandfather."

"Why do you say that?" Liu Xinzhi looked at Jiang Yiming.

"From the moment you spoke those words, you're unworthy!" As the words fell, Jiang Yiming looked directly at Liu Xinzhi: "My parents taught me not to be biased by what others say in any matter. As the Clan Leader of the Liu family, do you believe anything people say?"

"Honestly, if it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't have taken a single step into your Liu family! From the moment I entered the Liu family's gate today, everything I have seen is disgusting!!"

At this moment.

Hearing Jiang Yiming's statement, a fire rose in Liu Xinzhi's eyes.

Such words, in the presence of so many people, were as if openly slapping him several times.

Moreover, it was his grandson defying the authority of his elders, openly slapping him in the face.

This made him, as the long-standing Clan Leader of the Liu family, feel a burning pain in his face where none had dared to defy him openly.

"Earlier, I was somewhat skeptical about Xinyi's words, but now I believe it completely. Is this how your mother usually teaches you? Or does your father often behave like this, raising you like a street hooligan? You have no trace of the Liu family demeanor!!"

Behind Liu Xinzhi, at this moment, Liu Sansheng scratched his head.

He wished he could immediately shut his father's mouth.

Such words could be said by Liu Xinyi, the Second Master of the Liu family, and others could say them.

But as Liuu Wanwan's father, Liu Xinzhi must not say them.

Because such words are openly demeaning to the Jiang family bloodline, openly slapping Jiang Ning's face.

He dared not imagine what consequences such words would have if Jiang Ning heard them.

The Liu family now, although stronger than the Cao family of Luoshui County, is limitedly so.

In terms of officials, they match directly with Cao Rong's rank.

The strongest martial artist in the clan is merely at the Martial Arts Sixth Grade.

They have only spent a fortune to hire a Fifth Grade Tributor.

Thus, in Dongling City, the Liu family can only be considered a top-tier second-rate family, unable to claim a first-rate status without a true Martial Arts Fifth Grade practitioner.

Their strength is only slightly superior to the Cao family.

And how the Cao family was destroyed months ago, he knows very well.

Months ago, Jiang Ning could annihilate the Cao family without opposition, also leading to the downfall of the similarly dominant Liu family in Luoshui County.

Though the Liu family is in Dongling City now, not on Jiang Ning's turf, they cannot afford to disregard him.

He knows, at this moment, Jiang Ning is not the same as a few months ago.

Working in Luoshui County as a captain of the Inspection Office, he is very aware of Jiang Ning's rapid growth.

But in front of so many eyes and the clan members, even if he wanted to mediate, he couldn't find the words.

No one understands his father's character more than he does, a man who greatly values face.

Especially after serving as Clan Leader for so many years, he holds his dignity in the highest regard.

In the face of personal life and death or glory and disgrace, he values the latter more.

To put it nicely, he has integrity.

To put it unkindly, he just loves to hear compliments.

So he knows, in such a situation, as Liu Xinzhi's son, publicly contradicting would cause his father to lose face, making the situation even worse.

This was one of the reasons his own sister Liuu Wanwan had fallen out with the Liu family, causing such a situation.

Just as Liu Sansheng hesitated.

Liuu Wanwan immediately walked forward with Jiang Li, holding his hand, stepping out.

"Minger, tell me what happened!" she said gently.

"Mother!" Jiang Yiming's lips trembled slightly.

In a strange place, in front of so many people, to say he wasn't nervous or fearful at all would be unrealistic.

At only fifteen years old, this was his second time venturing far from home, and this was the farthest he had ever traveled.

The last time, in his childhood, he hadn't even stepped into the Liu family courtyard.

This time, he had just entered the rear courtyard of the Liu family.

Now seeing his mother, hearing her gentle voice, he found it hard to hold back.

"Mother!" Little Dumpling also rushed toward Liuu Wanwan.

Jiang Yiming adjusted his emotions, then turned to Liu Boming in his hand, beaten like a dead pig: "He spoke out of turn, insulted my parents, with a vile intent to harm Little Dumpling, so I stepped in to teach him a lesson."

Then, he lifted his gaze to the Second Master of the Liu family, Liu Xinyi.

"This old man likewise spoke out of turn, insulting my parents. An insulter will be insulted in return! This old man hasn't fulfilled his duty as an elder, so why should I show him respect?"

Meanwhile.

The Second Master of the Liu family, Liu Xinyi, hearing Jiang Yiming incessantly call him 'old man' here and there, in front of so many people, couldn't maintain his composure.

From youth until now, no one had dared to point at him and insult him like this.

Let alone that the one insulting him was a mere child still smelling of milk, supposedly his grandson.

And it was done in front of everyone, making it even more unbearable for him.

"Elder brother, you see? This little brat is full of foul language, without a trace of upbringing. As his second grandfather, should I not teach him a lesson?"

The Clan Leader of the Liu family, Liu Xinzhi, said: "Given your upbringing, who would believe your words?"

"I believe!!!" Liuu Wanwan stood in defiance, facing Liu Xinyi at the front of the room.

"The position and character of my child I know best, Minger never lies! And Minger is right, whoever insults others, will be insulted himself! Is this the kind of language a senior should use?"

"Little brat?"

"Is this how an elder should speak?"

"Is my Minger a little beast, then what am I?"

"A big beast?"

"What about the Liu family?"

"A nest of beasts??"

Intently, Liuu Wanwan looked at the Second Master of the Liu family, Liu Xinyi, with a mixture of tenderness and defiance.
