Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

"It is because of martial arts that the Li and Pei families have huge wealth and strong influence in all walks of life, which has forged the unshakable power of the Li and Pei families."

"It is not because of wealth that one has these powers."

"This order cannot be messed up, do you understand?"

Gan Shaohua stared at Li Jingzong, while Li Jingzong just stared blankly at the polished wooden armrest of the chair.

After a long while, Li Jingzong came back to his senses. His expression became very strange, confused, doubtful, puzzled, angry... and so on, he muttered to himself.

“Is this the way of martial arts?”

"So powerful, so scary..."

"It turns out that novels and movies are not made out of nothing, they actually exist!"

"But why..."

Li Jingzong did not say anything else, but looked at Gan Shaohua and asked.

"When will you start practicing martial arts?"

Gan Shaohua raised his eyebrows.

"Since I was five years old, the old man began to teach me how to punch, stand, and practice the basic skills of martial arts."

"Until now, I have practiced hard every day and have only achieved some insignificant results."

As Li Jingzong listened to Gan Shaohua's words, his expression became more and more strange, even a little ferocious. He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"You started practicing at the age of five?"

"If I remember correctly, you were adopted by your father."

"The family takes an adopted son so seriously that they start teaching him martial arts at the age of five."

"And my biological son doesn't even know what this so-called martial arts is?"

"Even if I'm an illegitimate child and can't be seen in public, my last name is Li after all, and I'm also your son. You didn't even tell me that. Why?!"

Even though Li Jingzong tried his best to suppress his anger, the rage that naturally erupted from his heart could not be suppressed no matter what. He couldn't help but roar out in anger and punched the hard armrest of the rosewood chair hard.

However, the wooden chair, which was like foam and could be manipulated by Gan Shaohua, fully demonstrated its hardness under Li Jingzong's fist.

There was a dull thud, followed by Li Jingzong's cry of pain. He held his right hand and gasped, his skin beginning to turn red visibly.

This sharp contrast made Li Jingzong even more angry, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

Gan Shaohua saw that this was not good. The fire seemed to be burning too strong. He originally just wanted to demonstrate martial arts to Li Jingzong, but who would have thought that Li Jingzong would learn from it and directly burn Li Henian.

If Li Jingzong was provoked to the point of losing his mind and called Li Henian directly to confront him, that would be counterproductive.

In order to remedy the situation, Gan Shaohua quickly took action to remedy the situation.

"My father asked you to come over because he wanted to talk to you about the election of the Martial Alliance Deacons at the upcoming Martial Alliance Conference."

"Your father, Patriarch Li, is the deputy chief deacon of the Jinyang region of the Martial Alliance. Although the election of the Martial Alliance deacons mostly refers to the voting results of local members, the opinions of the chief deacons and deputy chief deacons of the superior regions also account for a large proportion."

"So my father wanted to meet with Patriarch Li to discuss this matter."

However, Li Jingzong was already a little nervous at this moment because Li Henian had concealed the fact that he knew nothing about martial arts. His eyes and eyebrows were full of hostility, and he spoke without thinking.

"Why doesn't he just go and meet that old immortal directly? Why does he have to go through a loser like me who doesn't even know martial arts?"

Gan Shaohua was speechless. Seeing that Li Jingzong could no longer listen to anything, Gan Shaohua completely gave up on treatment in order to successfully complete the plan. He came up with a solution after just a little thought and started talking nonsense.

He pretended to be mysterious and spoke in a low voice.

"Isn't it because you have a share of the benefits that I'm passing through?"

Li Jingzong sneered, "What good can it do? It's just a little money. Do I need that?"

Gan Shaohua shook his head, "Of course it's not something as vulgar as money."

"Martial arts, do you want to learn it?"

When Gan Shaohua said the word "martial arts", it was as if a switch was pressed. Li Jingzong turned his head and stared at Gan Shaohua in surprise.

"Martial arts?"

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly became excited. He grabbed Gan Shaohua's hand and asked hurriedly.

"You mean, your father can teach me martial arts?"

"I'm already this old. Is it still okay for me to start practicing martial arts now?"

Seeing that Li Jingzong had taken the bait, Gan Shaohua suddenly felt relieved and spoke with a smile.

"Martial arts requires a boy's skill. One needs to start practicing from a young age and lay a solid foundation before one can achieve success."

"If I start learning now, it might be a little late."

Upon hearing that it was too late, Li Jingzong instantly wilted like a deflated balloon. He threw Gan Shaohua's hand away and said unhappily.

"It's so damn late, what's the point of learning? Are you two making fun of me?"

Gan Shaohua shook his head, "How dare we tease you?"

"I meant what I just said."

"Although it is indeed difficult to achieve anything by practicing martial arts from now on, nothing is absolute in this world."

"After all, there is something called elixir in this world that can change your fate and reshape your bones. Even if you start practicing from now on, you can make rapid progress!"

Li Jingzong was shocked again.

"Damn, there are pills too!"

"You guys in the martial arts circle are really wild!"

Li Jingzong reacted immediately, his pupils suddenly shrank into needle points, and a look of ecstasy flashed across his face.

"You mean you have this kind of medicine, and you want to give it to me?"

Gan Shaohua looked straight at Li Jingzong and exerted force slowly and firmly.

"Previously, the Pei family had an expedition team that was active in a certain ruin. They accidentally found a pill in the ruins, and there was also a scroll of secret text next to it."

"After much hard work, we have deciphered the contents of the secret code. The secret code introduces the efficacy of the elixir, which can reshape one's bones and turn an ordinary person with no foundation into a martial arts genius with superior bones. Once one practices martial arts, he will be able to make rapid progress!"

"This expedition team belongs to my father. When he found out, he immediately blocked the news. No one else in the Pei family knew about this except him and me."

"Originally, he was going to keep this pill for a rainy day, but for the sake of the election of the Martial Alliance Deacons, he was willing to use it as a bargaining chip to trade with Patriarch Li!"
