After a hundred years of ringing the bell, I became the ancestor of the sect

Chapter 27 Barrier
They ate and drank until the evening, then Li Qian and his six companions left Dongchen Restaurant and prepared to stay overnight at a nearby inn and return to Shenjianmen the next day.

"Master."

As soon as I left the restaurant, a young servant in blue clothes came up to me and said, "The master wants you to go back."

"Tell him I don't plan to go back."

Li Qian shook his head and said.

With that he left.

The servant in blue didn't know what to do so he could only run back to Li's house.

"What a bastard. He left home for more than three years without any news. Now he has returned to Baibi City and won't come back. Do you think I should go and ask him to come back in person?"

In the Li Mansion, the second master Li Donglin was so angry that he slammed the table when he heard the report from the servant.

"Master, don't be angry, Brother Qian is just being willful for a moment."

A woman came in and spoke softly.

"He is not just being willful for a moment. It has been more than three years. I think his heart has completely gone wild and he thinks I can't control him anymore."

Li Donglin said angrily.

Originally, he was very happy when he knew his son appeared in Baibi City.

After all, he had been worried for more than three years.

But now I am very angry.

He thought he attached great importance to this son, so he arranged for him to receive family guidance, study hard, and pursue academic success, so that he could pursue a career in politics in the future.

But this son was uneducated and unskillful. Instead, he liked to play with guns and sticks, was unwilling to follow his arrangements, and was very rebellious.

"Lao Xu, bring some people with me to tie him back."

Li Donglin suddenly stood up and said to the housekeeper standing at the door.

"Master, please have a good talk with Brother Qian first."

The woman quickly persuaded.

"Madam, I know you are doing this for his own good, but he won't appreciate your kindness. He has been wild for three years, and he must be disciplined."

Li Donglin waved his hand and showed the attitude of a head of the family.

The woman didn't know what to say when she saw it.

After Li Donglin took her away, there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Li Qian is the eldest son and the first in line to inherit the family business.

This would leave her son aside.

Only by forcing Li Qian to leave could her son inherit everything from Li Donglin, including his connections in official circles.

In the inn.

Li Qian was just about to practice when he heard a commotion coming from outside.

Not long after, the door was pushed open, and then Li Donglin rushed in with a group of servants.

"Li Qian, come back with me."

When Li Donglin saw Li Qian standing, he was about to get angry, but his tone softened.

After not seeing him for more than three years, the son who had caused him so much worry looked taller and stronger.

He couldn't help but think of Li Qian's mother's last words before her death, asking him to take good care of Qian'er.

"Since I left the Li family, I have no intention of returning, and I will not compete with Li Kun for the family business."

Li Qian said calmly.

Li Kun is the half-brother of his predecessor. He passed the imperial examination and became a scholar four years ago. He was also accepted as a registered disciple by the great scholar Chu Xun. If nothing unexpected happens, it should not be difficult for him to pass the imperial examination and become a juren or jinshi.

For the Li family, a family of scholars, their predecessor was ignorant and unlearned, and was naturally a pool of mud that could not be helped.

But in fact, the reason why my predecessor hated studying was entirely the result of the various calculations of that powerful stepmother, which eventually led to my predecessor's strong rebellious psychology and repeated conflicts with his father Li Donglin.

This was also a matter of the previous life and had nothing to do with him.

"You are such a rebellious son, you are really going to piss me off to death."

When Li Donglin heard what Li Qian said, the trace of guilt in his heart was immediately filled with anger. "In the past three years, your stepmother has always been concerned about your safety. Kun'er has already passed the imperial examination and is unlikely to compete with you for the family business. It seems that I have been too indulgent to you in the past. From today on, I must discipline you well."

He waved his hand and said, "Tie this rebellious son back to me."

When several servants heard the master's order, they immediately rushed up like wolves and tigers. Although these servants were not entry-level warriors, they had all been trained, and they were also big and strong, so they looked very tough.

Just as the servants rushed forward, Li Qian just waved his hand lightly, and the servants fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.

"Father, this is the last time I call you father. Don't try to impose your ideas on me anymore. I am the master of my own life."

Li Qian said calmly.

Then he stretched out his hand, and the sword on the table was picked up in mid-air and fell into his hand. Then he moved and quickly slipped out of the room.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and it turned out to be Li Qian riding a horse away from the inn.

Li Donglin's face looked even uglier. He obviously cared about his son very much, so why did it develop to the point where he didn't even want to go home? Why did it come to this?
Several inner disciples who came upon hearing the noise were very surprised; they also heard that Junior Brother Li Qian seemed to have had a falling out with his family.

"Young men, are you with my son?"

When Li Donglin saw these inner disciples, he hurried forward and asked.

"Young man, I don't deserve it. We are inner disciples of the Divine Sword Sect. Junior Brother Li Qian accepted the escort mission with us."

Liu Hui, one of the inner disciples, said hurriedly.

Since he was Junior Brother Li Qian's father, his tone was a little more polite.

"Excalibur Gate?"

Li Donglin was shocked.

As a major martial arts sect with great power in three states and twelve counties, the Divine Sword Sect is well-known in Baibi City.

"My son Li Qian, is he an inner disciple of the Divine Sword Sect?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

Liu Hui nodded.

He was very curious, why did Junior Brother Li’s family know nothing about this?
Li Donglin had mixed feelings, as he naturally knew the importance of being an inner sect disciple of the Divine Sword Sect.

He remembered that he had asked a martial arts master in the city to feel Li Qian's bones. He was told that his physique and aptitude were mediocre and that even if he pursued the path of martial arts, there would be little hope.

A major martial arts sect like the Divine Sword Sect has very high requirements for the aptitude of its disciples. How could my son be qualified to become an inner sect disciple?

Could it be that the martial artist touched the wrong thing?

With mixed feelings, Li Donglin returned to the Li Mansion.

The woman came forward and asked, "Master, is your brother still unwilling to come back?"

In fact, she was very happy inside.

If Li Qian is unwilling to come back, the conflict between father and son will become more and more serious and difficult to resolve.

"He"

Li Donglin shook his head, "Madam, he became an inner disciple of the Divine Sword Sect."

The woman was stunned and said in astonishment, "An inner disciple of the Divine Sword Sect? How could it be that a martial artist had not touched his bones? Is it possible that Brother Qian's aptitude is mediocre?"

"I am also confused, but the several inner disciples of the Divine Sword Sect who came with him have already proven it."

Li Donglin said.

In fact, he was quite happy inside.

This son was disobedient and did not follow his wishes to take the imperial examination.

But becoming an inner disciple of the Divine Sword Sect is obviously a better path.

As a scholarly family, the Li family has thought about cultivating warriors of their own.

If a family wants to truly grow bigger and stronger, the best solution is to follow the path of martial arts.

The path of taking the imperial examination and becoming a civil servant is too narrow.

Once troubled times come, such a scholarly family will find it difficult to protect itself. In an instant, it will lose all its power and be destroyed.

But the path of martial arts is too difficult.

The fundamental aptitude required for martial arts training is the first hurdle.

What's more, martial arts resources are monopolized and controlled by powerful martial arts forces.

If the Li family can produce a powerful warrior, and a disciple of a major martial arts sect like the Divine Sword Sect, it will undoubtedly open a new door to a bright future for the Li family.
