Outside the carriage,
"We are under attack; take position and secure the carriage."
The guards hurriedly spoke, stationing the horses around the carriage while looking at the surroundings with vigilance.
"Stand by; it is the master. I think there is a misunderstanding."
Li Gong's voice sounded, and then he walked outside the carriage. Looking at his daughter and wife, he let them stay inside.
"Master?" The guards were startled; their hearts sank, and they backed away along with their horses.
Li Gong glanced at the trees lowered on the path in front, blocking their way, and then glanced at the right side of the path.
"I think you confused me with someone else. Show yourself and explain the reason for stopping our way," Li Gong asked calmly, looking in the direction of the tree.
The next moment, his face changed seeing a small figure walk outside from the dark area along with the head of the captain,
"It's you?" Li Gong's eyes widened in horror; no wonder he is so surprised; anyone would show such an extreme expression when seeing an eight-year-old Master of the Path.
Lin Lee walked and appeared in front of him with a head hanging in his hand,
"Here you will recognize this person; your wife ordered them to kill me and sell my mother to the brothel. If you didn't give me a satisfactory explanation, then I will kill you all here."
Lin Lee said, directly throwing the leader guard's head toward his feet,
Li Gong's eyes widened in surprise, and then his heart sank looking at the head that rolled and stopped in front of him, looking at the bloody head facing him without eyeballs, and then he turned and glanced at the pale guards behind him; one of them nodded in his direction.
Li Gong clenched his fist tightly and then walked toward the carriage, opened the door, and then glanced at the Gao Lin inside coldly and said, "Come out."
"Dear, what happened?" Gao Lin's heart jumped seeing her husband's cold expression, and then she hurriedly walked outside the carriage.
Upon stepping outside the carriage, she glanced around, suddenly as if her feet became heavy and stuck to the ground, looking at the familiar head on the ground in a daze,
"It's really your doing; how dare you?" Li Gong's annoyed voice sounded from behind her,
"I didn't do it on purpose; I just wanted to teach them a lesson. That bitch and her son didn't show any respect to our minister's house." She scoffed in return and then noticed the Lin Lee far away,
"It's him. I don't like his attitude, and why is he here? What's happening here?" She hurriedly spoke, pointing at Lin Lee, and then asked with a confused expression,
Meanwhile, Lin Lee glanced at her and then waved his hand; instantly, the trees in the surrounding hill shook, and long wooden spikes pierced out from them and shot toward the Gao Lin on the ground.
Thud! Thud!! Thud!!!
Piercing through her heart, skull, and stomach, as well as other parts of her body, the bloody spikes pierced out from the other side of her body and embedded tightly in the ground.
Suck!!!
Li Gong's heart trembled, feeling the intense pain in his heart, feeling the breath of his wife passing away; she couldn't even speak because one of the spikes pierced her mouth.
Li Gong controlled his emotion forcefully and didn't dare to turn and glance in the direction of his wife, just bowing in front of Lin Lee.
Lin Lee raised his brow looking at the bloody Gao Lin and then glanced at Li Gong and waved his hand, saying, "You and your daughter can leave; also, if you want to take revenge in the future, then find me."
'Forget the future; I am even feeling helpless now.' Li Gong thought and then stood up and spoke, "Thank you, Master Yi, for showing mercy."
Then he glanced at the frightened guards staying in place and then walked toward the carriage, saying, "Bury her and then return to the Li House; let's go."
"Yes, Minister Li," The guards hurriedly spoke and then walked toward the corpse of Gao Lin, while the carriage drifted away.
Lin Lee glanced at the guards and then glanced at the carriage, shook his head, and then turned around and flashed toward the Yuan mansion.
Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Li Gong glanced at his daughter, patted her head silently, and then a cold and weird color flashed through his eyes.
'If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have let him kill my wife; at that time he was bloodthirsty for revenge, probably more angry because of the marriage annulment. Damn Li Gong, how can you do such a loss-making business? After returning, I have to talk to the emperor; that boy's personality is a huge threat to this empire.'
Li Gong thought to himself, then sighed, turned, and glanced in the direction of the dark sky outside through the carriage window.
...
On the other hand,
Lin Lee returned to the mansion, looking at Yi Yun standing in front of him with a little worried expression on her face.
After seeing Lin Lee arrive in front of her, she hurriedly walked forward and started checking his body with a worried expression and started questioning in a barrage,
"How are you? Where did you go? I was so worried about you. Are you injured?"
