"Madam benefactor, be careful with your words!" Li Ke was on edge and starting to sweat as he spoke urgently. He was probably the last person who wanted Li Zhongnan to be at odds with his own father, the Emperor. "Father, your son thinks there must be some misunderstanding here. Why not both sides step back?"
"A step back? Heh, Madam," the Emperor scoffed in response to the lady, "while I appreciate Master Li's earlier rescue, I must tell you and Master Li that the Li Dynasty has a Near-Legendary Realm Ancestor sitting in power. I hope Madam and Master Li will not delude yourselves! For the Li Dynasty, eliminating the young master would only require the intervention of the Near-Legendary Realm Ancestor!"
Li Ming gestured to Li Ke to remain silent, then spoke with an implied threat to Du Meisha, his voice cold.
Du Meisha snorted derisively, which only made Li Ming look even more displeased, and then she said, "Is that so-called Near-Legendary Realm the source of your confidence?"
