fools, and a surprise.

While the people are still trying to absorb, what just happened, The fourth great elder is in a complicated situation, with a daughter and a son being part of the church he fears the treatment they'll receive if he let this easily go.while he does not know when or how the church poisoned his children's mind, he still has to protect them.

"You evil creature! Did you eat a bear's gall bladder!? clan head! will you let your child run his mouth like that? haven't you seen enough!?"

Zhang Xie gave the agitated fourth elder a calm stare.

"the relationship between my son and daughter in law is not something we, as the older generation, should put our nose in"

not knowing what else to do great elder could only apologize directly. but when he was going to open his mouth, Zhang Li had already reached the highest stand and looking down at the priest. Without

greeting spoke before the great elder could

"Priest Clovis right? I heard the fourth elder's children are in the care of the church. I hope they're not giving much trouble, you see they used to be quite the treacherous type. so you'll have to use any means to pound the doctrine into their heads, Haha."

After laughing, Zhang Li turned his back and helped Ming Fang to her seat.

the fourth elder, on the other hand, is ashen-faced he can't understand what is happening why Zhang Li is acting this way. and why aim at himself 'no.wai! That doesn't matter I have to -' before he took action, he met eyes with priest Clovis. Priest Clovis gave him a gentle look and waved his hand to calm him down.

Priest Clovis is having a weird time today. While the church may not be the one ruling the land it still has too much power to be ignored. So when someone like the second son of one of the most if not, The most important clan of the country afront the church belief's so upfront and publicly it's weird. in fact, it's too much absurd of a situation so, he was caught by surprise and naturally, has to act cautiously and refrain from saying much.

Naturally, the first act of those in the defensive will be the appeasement of the conflict altogether.

"Haha, the second young master jests. While the training might be a bit rigid the church does not condone, violent behaviors of any kind.

besides the two children are exceptionally blessed, naturally, the church will pay special attention to them."

Zhang Li gave a smirk

"I see, they are special so they'll get the best attention, unlike the old couple that came in front of the church stairs to beg for food, right. If I remember right. they refused to leave, then knight Arthur hanged them right outside of your gates?"

the surroundings went silent as the air got tense.

One could argue the first offense came with a justified reason and an in a moment of rage. But this second offense came without pretext or reason

just a dry, clean slap straight up the face.

Gloom all over his flushed face, priest Clovis retort

"maybe because young master Li has been in a coma until now, you were not fed the full story. Those people attacked the church and tried to steal from us, hence knight Arthur made an example out of them"

"Ohh, I see so I was wrong then. though It's good that they tried to steal from the church. right?, I mean If the two old people dying of famine attempted to attack any other place besides the second greatest power in the country."

"the church would have to deal with people demanding help every day, imagine that!"

"Puhaha, see it. priest? violence is an effective tool in the right place."

the surrounding air grew colder by the second you could hear a needle falling a mile away

Zhang Li with a smile and priest Clovis with cold eyes. neither said a thing just staring each other.

"pfff haha I heard that the second son of the Zhang clan was a timid cripple. turns out he's more of a dog instead, Priest Clovis master doesn't need to deal with this kind of people. let me, Yang Ruang engrave politeness into him. Zhang Li do you dare to duel me!?"

Zhang Li gave sidelong glance at Lily who was at the other side of ming fang. And said aloud

"Isn't he the one you castrated? why is he so full of himself? "

"I don't know my young lord. maybe the yang family kept it from spreading."

the two looked in the direction of the earlier voice, Yang Ruang was like a clown in the middle of the arena ashen-faced and trembling receiving the eyes of all people on the stadium, but his eyes couldn't leave the golden-haired figure in the high stand without thinking he roared

"Lily you slut! I freed and fed you yet you bit my hand!

Truly paying favor with a feud. have you no shame!"

"hand?" Zhang Li gave her a weird look

"I cut it with a knife! how could put that thing in my mouth!" Lily retorted exasperated

Pfhahaha!! laugh all around

Zhan Wei the one who started was roaring in laughter " so the young master of the Yang clan has no cock..so he came all the way to the Zhang family gathering with the advantage of one less weakness in a fight truly a genius with sinister means! Puahahha!.

Humiliated and outraged Yang Ruang ignored Zhang Wei and barked at Zhang Li

"Crippled Zhang young master you better give her to me or I swear on my blood, I'll hunt you. you'll never be able to walk alone in this city, otherwise, you'll be dead!"

'Fool' princess ming Yunque though to herself observing all that happened until now,

'it's obvious second young master is acting suspiciously aggressive. Maybe he is trying to bait the Yang family? No that's absurd Yang Ruang is too little of a fish. not worth offending the church for him.'

Instead of thinking too much she shifted her gaze at the man still laughing out loud

'while too deliberate or intentional this man shifted all the attention from priest Clovis and put on the idiot on the arena I can't know. so better keep him in mind.'

"Alright," Lily said ready to jump down

"Wait, a perverted woman can't you think things through? I can't just let you go fight him what would people think about me?"

"I want to kill him though?."

"ugh, stupid the family's are rivals. yes, but we can't just go killing each other if a war is unleashed the country will be in chaos and the crown will have to punish us both regardless the winner. understand?"

"Lily you better come down here stop wasting time! I will cut your head off then I'll destroy that cripple" Yang Ruang keeps screaming

Zhang Li looked down 'He annoy's me.'

"Father, mother my brother and sister I'll show you a pleasant surprise now! "

Zhang Li jumped down the arena and looked at the judge standing to the side . " it won't be needed a judge, right miss Yang Ruang? "

"Fine cripple! I don't know what did you eat today but I will shove reality down your throat now!"

some guards that arrived with Yang Ruang tried to calm things down

"young master please think again, clan head said strictly to just what the tournament and report back-"

"And make me look Like a wuss!? "wit ha flushed face and wielding a red saber on fire he scream

"come on. cripple!"
