After speaking, Shen Shichang said to Li Yifei, "Is this resolution satisfactory to you, Clan Leader Li?"

Li Yifei first gave a smile, then shook his head and said, "I once consulted a clan leader of a century-old family, asking him how to make a family last for a hundred years. Although his family was not large, and not very powerful, that clan leader gave me a very good answer!"

Shen Shichang chuckled and walked to the chair, gesturing, "Please sit!"

After speaking, he sat down himself. Naturally, Li Yifei was not reserved and after sitting down heard Shen Shichang ask, "Clan Leader Li, please continue, I’m interested in hearing it too."

"That clan leader told me that to make a family last and not decline, there’s no other way but to establish virtue, words, and rules. This boils down to the family ethos of ordinary households. The family ethos must be correct, for if it’s not correct and the family rules are not strict, no matter how large the family, it will decline."

Shen Shichang was already expecting this, so he wasn’t surprised. Instead, he said, "There’s truth in the clan leader’s words, but when the family grows large, it’s hard to restrain everyone."

"I originally wanted to learn from Clan Leader Shen, but seeing this bald man, I knew it wasn’t necessary." Li Yifei shifted his tone and said.

Shen Shichang’s eyebrow twitched. He already knew Li Yifei was arrogant, daring to come to their home and initiate violence, but didn’t expect that even when he hadn’t addressed the matter, the other side repeatedly provoked, so Shen Shichang paused for a few seconds and then replied, "Clan Leader Li is truly young and fiery! However, youth is a capital, but it’s not an excuse for everything."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Truly, Clan Leader Shen shouldn’t be angry. I intervened to discipline this unfilial grandson for the good of the Shen Family. He provoked me today, I merely slapped him twice. If he provokes someone else another time, he might catch a bullet or be chopped into ten pieces, which are all unforeseeable."

Shen Kaifeng’s expression twisted. Although Li Yifei and Shen Shichang were of the same status, age was evident, and in the hearts of Shen Family Members, the old man was sacred and inviolable. At this time, Li Yifei repeatedly offended, so he couldn’t help but say, "Clan Leader Li, please be mindful of your words, not everything can be said recklessly."

"I’m speaking with Shen Shichang, not with you. Considering your recent hospitality, I won’t make things difficult for you, but it’s best to shut your mouth!" Li Yifei said.

Shen Kaifeng was about to speak, but Shen Shichang raised his head, stopping his grandson’s argument, and mildly smiled, "Good, good, good, it’s been years since I’ve met such a young man. Capable, unruly, and with no regard for mountains or waters, it’s truly a marvelous age!"

"I’ll take that as Clan Leader Shen praising me!" Li Yifei said after sipping his tea.

Damn, was that praise? Shen Shichang almost choked, his eyes involuntarily widening. He did have some understanding of Li Yifei after all, with the Li family dropping into South Dian Province and interacting with them. Naturally, the Shen Family would investigate as this Li family, established for a few years now, had skyrocketed with assets worth tens of billions.

However, the foundation was unstable and the industry quite distorted. If no one cared, it’d be fine; if someone did, these tens of billions in assets could be wiped out instantly.

This was Shen Shichang’s assessment as an older generation seeking stability. The rapid rise like Li Yifei’s would also quickly decline, so he wasn’t overly focused, which slightly troubled the Shen Family; otherwise, the situation of Su Mengxin and others would be more difficult.

He’d heard of Li Yifei’s capabilities but just heard. Today he did indeed want to test it, not expecting the young man to be so unruly, speaking so boundlessly and arrogantly.

Shen Shichang also smiled and said, "Truly young and fiery, haha. When I was your age, I was similar; relying on some skills, having family resources, and looking down on others..."

"Clan Leader Shen, you’ve got it wrong. Practitioners have keen eyes, sharper than ordinary people. Whether you’re sitting or standing, I see it all. How can I be looking down on anyone?" Li Yifei interrupted.

Shen Shichang gave a slight cold smile and said, "Haha, so today, Clan Leader Li comes to settle scores; Shen Kailong brought it upon himself with the two slaps you gave him, he deserved it. I’ve also punished him from the family’s perspective, and wonder if Clan Leader Li is satisfied?"

"What if I say it’s still okay, Clan Leader Shen, how would you respond?" Li Yifei replied.

"What’s not okay?" Shen Shichang countered.

Li Yifei put down the teacup and said, "In the past, men who dared make advances on my woman mostly ended up dead!"

Whew, the temperature in the hall seemed to suddenly drop a few degrees. No one anticipated Li Yifei would say something like this, meaning what, you really dare to kill people? No, precisely, would you really dare to kill over such a matter?

This was what Shen Shichang hadn’t anticipated, Shen Kaifeng’s face changed dramatically, and the two experts standing behind Shen Shichang both let out their aura simultaneously, their sharp eyes pinned on Li Yifei, seemingly wanting to capture him immediately.

"Young people love joking around, it’s a country governed by law. Not to mention killing, even killing an animal requires considering if it’s a protected species. We must also consider if it will be chastised or obstructed by compassion organizations!" Shen Shichang laughed.

Li Yifei said seriously, "Clan Leader Shen, I’m someone who can take things very seriously, I don’t joke around. My family is my reverse scale; daring to touch them is more serious than touching me!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Shen Kailong, who was kneeling, shuddered. He finally understood just how brazen the man who appeared last night truly was. Not only did he dare hit him, now he’s being this defiant to Shen Shichang, a man whose mere foot stomp could shake the South Dian Province and the most authoritative figure in the Shen Family. Shen Kailong regretted it now, but it was too late, as the deed was done.

As soon as Li Yifei spoke, the atmosphere immediately became tense, and Shen Shichang’s expression faltered. For a long time, his family had been the sole authority, having rarely encountered such arrogant young men in decades. Even a mighty dragon has to adhere to some limits; hence, Shen Shichang wanted to subdue Li Yifei immediately.

"Does this mean you’re not satisfied with the way this is being handled?"

"Killing is illegal!" Li Yifei sighed.

"Boy, you’ve got some skills, but don’t be too arrogant. The Clan Leader respects your status as another family’s leader, but this is the Shen Family, so you better watch your words," said Old Sunx, who was standing behind Shen Shichang.

"Oh?" Li Yifei turned to look at the burly elder, knowing that his strength wasn’t weak, but relatively speaking, Li Yifei didn’t feel any pressure from him. Once the elder spoke, Li Yifei merely glanced at him and laughed, "You speak quite rudely as well. As for whether I’m arrogant or not, others will judge. Who do you think you are to jump out and call me arrogant?"

"I’m your grandfather!" Old Sunx, known for his fiery temper, had entered the ranks of experts many years ago and had long been respected. Hearing Li Yifei’s provocation, he couldn’t hold back anymore. Of course, he knew this was his moment to speak; they couldn’t just have Shen Shichang personally confront Li Yifei.

After all, Shen Shichang brought the two of them to contest with Li Yifei, so whether it was sooner or later didn’t matter.

So Old Sunx directly stepped out, looking at Li Yifei, who was sitting there, and said, "Boy, today I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your family for that mouth of yours with no filter."

Li Yifei had a faint smile on his face, looking at Old Sunx, and since Shen Shichang didn’t stop him, Li Yifei knew this was arranged. Of course, since he dared to come and cause trouble today, if the Shen Family could endure it, then this family indeed needed to place more emphasis on matters.

At this moment, seeing Old Sunx jump out, Li Yifei replied lightly, "I don’t really like to engage with people much older than me."

"I’ll give you a minute to think. Don’t say your grandpa bullied you. You’ll either kneel down and admit defeat or you’ll taste my old fists!" Old Sunx roared loudly.

Li Yifei chuckled and said to Shen Shichang, "Clan Leader Shen, do you think this is appropriate?"

"This is an old friend of mine. He loves to mentor and guide young people and perhaps he sees potential in you, so he wants to spar with you. I can’t really stop him. Hmm, Clan Leader Li, you could give it a try. You might gain something from the spar, which would be beneficial!" Shen Shichang said.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but shake his head and said, "Clan Leader Shen, since you put it this way, if I don’t give this old man some guidance, it would reflect badly on my character!"

"Guidance from you?" Old Sunx asked angrily.

"You might as well hear me out. In martial arts, age doesn’t necessarily make you stronger. Otherwise, every old turtle would be a master!" Li Yifei spoke while slowly standing up. The last sentence about old turtles was a real provocation to Old Sunx, and even Elder Yang, who hadn’t acted yet, felt provoked. He clenched his fists, with an intention to jump in and teach Li Yifei a lesson on behalf of his friend.

Shen Shichang also couldn’t hold back. Being a martial artist himself, he knew the truth in what was said, but Li Yifei likening them to old turtles could not help but anger him.

"Clan Leader Li, let me give you some advice: if you wish for your family to endure through generations, it’s best to keep a low profile. Remember, a loose tongue causes misfortune," Shen Shichang said coldly.

Finally provoked, Li Yifei glanced at him, then said, "Let’s talk after the fight!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Come on then, today I’ll show you what real kung fu is!" Old Sunx said.

Li Yifei shook his head, sized him up and down, and said, "Get that old guy to join in, because you’re not enough alone!"

You’re not enough alone... These words were a huge insult to Old Sunx, no, to everyone in the room. Witnessing the extreme arrogance of Li Yifei, the Shen Family members were furious. Even Shen Kaifeng couldn’t help but shout, "Li Yifei, you’re damn arrogant! Elder Sunx, let me challenge him first!"

"Don’t move, Old Sunx, go all out!" Shen Shichang stopped his grandson and directly commanded Old Sunx.

There was no need to say, Old Sunx was already filled with rage towards Li Yifei, and his eyes blazed as he looked at Li Yifei.
