Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

door.

"Where is everyone?" Chu Dali narrowed his eyes as he looked at the servant at the door and the empty entrance.

"Reporting to the master, the second young master has gone to distribute porridge." The servant lowered his head, but his eyes were full of disdain.

Why be so arrogant with a servant like him? If you're so capable, go and compete with the second young master.

"Prepare the carriage," Chu Dali instructed Wang Gui behind him.

"Yes, sir." Wang Gui accepted the order and left.

"What are you looking at? Get out of here!" Chu Dali said with murderous intent as he looked at the few beggar children huddled outside the gate.

Upon hearing this, the little beggars immediately left.

"Damn it, it's attracted all sorts of scoundrels." Chu Dali said grimly.

Upon hearing this, the servant's already disdainful attitude became even more audacious.

How can this compare to the Second Young Master?

The departing beggar children turned into the alley.

"Tell the adults that Chu Dali is going out," the lead beggar said to one of them.

"The plan is in preparation," the person in the shadows replied in a hoarse voice.

"Can't I go?" the leading beggar asked somewhat unwillingly.

"No, the old man is not afraid. You will still have a future," the person in the shadows said.

"But that's twenty taels," the little beggar said, still somewhat unwilling.

"You'll have many more opportunities," the person in the shadows said, and then the alley fell silent again.

"It's alright, brother. We'll have plenty of opportunities in the future," one of the men behind comforted the beggar.

"Hmm..." The leader of the children could only reluctantly agree upon hearing this.

He wanted twenty taels of silver for breaking a leg, but how could he possibly earn twenty taels in his condition?

Even if you gave him a lifetime, he couldn't do it.

......

The Li family's courtyard.

"Second Young Master! Chu Dali has set off!" Li Changchun rushed into the courtyard and respectfully addressed Li Junsu, who was practicing martial arts.

"Oh, is there anything else?" Li Junsu stopped what he was doing and asked casually.

"Second Young Master, would you like to come and take a look together?" Li Changchun asked Li Junsu excitedly.

"Alright." Li Junsu nodded and said. He needed to meet his opponent beforehand; it would be a pity if he died before even meeting him.

"Let's go," Li Junsu said, and walked ahead.

......

South of the city.

A long queue formed outside the checkpoint, and a group of people surrounded it inside, with Chu Yi's gentle voice and the busy figures of maids and servants in the middle.

The heat slowly rose from the center, bringing a touch of warmth that was out of reach to the homeless people in this place.

"Ouch!" Suddenly, the old man's scream rang out.

The crowd watching the porridge distribution turned around upon hearing this and saw an old man struggling painfully under the wheels of a somewhat luxurious carriage.

The carriage was decorated with the golden character "Chu". The onlookers turned to look at Chu Yi. When Chu Yi saw this, a strange light flashed in his eyes. Then he walked up to the crowd and looked at the carriage.

"What's going on?" came an impatient voice from inside the car.

"Master...we've run someone over." Wang Gui looked at the bustling crowd outside and the old man struggling under the carriage, his scalp tingling, and turned around to explain.

"I'm not deaf, throw him further away!" Chu Dali shouted upon hearing this.

"Wow!" The onlookers cheered upon hearing this.

Chu Yi stepped forward, lifted the carriage, and picked up the old man.

"Chu Yi! Are you looking for death?" Chu Dali was annoyed and irritated by the lively discussion and Chu Yi standing next to the car.

And the other side.

......

Teahouse, second-floor private room.

"Second Young Master, the real show is just beginning." Li Changchun looked at the crowd and the lonely carriage outside the window, extremely excited.

"This Chu Yi has quite the ingenuity." Li Junsu smiled as he looked at the dilapidated settlement outside the pass and the barely passable town inside.

“Outside, there are elderly and disabled people who can’t even be taken from homeless people. Chu Yi can gain a great reputation with a few tricks. It’s really a good idea,” Li Changchun agreed.

"Not only that, but... that's when the real show begins." Li Junsu twirled the teacup in his hand, his eyes filled with mockery.

......

below.

"Brother, you can't treat human life like a game." Chu Yi carried the old man back to the front of the crowd and spoke righteously.

"Are you lecturing me?" Chu Dali lifted the curtain, leaped out, and looked at Chu Yi with a furious yet mocking laugh.

At this moment, Chu Dali was like ordering his younger siblings to get a bottle of water. Not only did his younger siblings refuse, they also started cursing at him, which was a provocation.

“Provocation, brother, all you ever think about is power.” Chu Yi shook his head as he lectured him.

"Exactly! Those who know you know you're the patriarch of the Chu family, but those who don't might think you're the emperor!"

"Exactly! I think even the Emperor isn't as imposing as you."

"Who says it isn't? And it looks like a pig. I thought it was a pig standing up."

"Looking at it now, it really is. All it's missing is a pair of tusks. But it's not a wild boar, so that's normal."

"Shut up!" Chu Dali shouted, his voice carrying his inner strength as he listened to the cacophony of voices from the crowd.

Seeing this, Chu Yi also released his inner strength to block Chu Dali's intimidation.

The onlookers were not affected by the internal force, and upon hearing this, they raised their voices and increased their discussion.

"Oh, shut up, sir! Why don't you just drag me away and behead me?"

"Hahaha, it's not just about chopping them up, why don't you exterminate my entire family, Your Excellency?"

"Be careful what you say, the real fear is that Master Chu... might build a government office right here!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"You want to fight me here?" Chu Dali looked at Chu Yi, his muscles tense.

"Brother, if you insist on taking action, I am willing to die to prove my innocence. Brother... they are human beings, not animals." Upon hearing this, Chu Yi took a step forward.

Seeing this, the onlookers followed suit.

"If you've got the guts, kill me. I'll call you 'Dad' if I utter a single word."

"Exactly! Not impressive? Let's see if you really think you're the emperor!"

"You're nothing but a fart. Kneel down and kowtow three times to your father, and he'll still acknowledge you as his unfilial son."

The crowd kept talking as they pressed closer.

Seeing this, Chu Yi also took the lead and walked ahead.

Seeing this, Chu Dali took a step back.

It wasn't that he was afraid to kill, but if he did, Chu Yan wouldn't let him off. Besides, with so many people around, if he killed them all... it would reach the main family...

Seeing this, Chu Yi felt a surge of relief and quickened his pace as he watched Chu Dali retreat in a disheveled state.

"Alright, we'll have plenty of time in the future." Seeing this, Chu Dali pulled on the reins, mounted his horse, and looked down at Chu Yi, who was holding the old man, with a sinister grin.

"I won't go back," Chu Yi said calmly upon seeing this.

"Let's see where you can go," Chu Dali said sarcastically as he turned his horse around and rode away.

......

Inside a private room at a teahouse.

"Let's go." Li Junsu watched the spectacle below, stopped turning his teacup, and lazily got up.

"Second Young Master, aren't you going to watch the show to the end?" Li Changchun looked at the performance below with some reluctance.

“What’s so interesting about a hypocrite’s self-pity?” Li Junsu stood up.

“That’s true.” Li Changchun stood up and replied.

Li Changchun came to his senses. Damn it, this whole scene was put together by the second young master himself. He was almost moved to tears. What was so special about that?

But Chu Yi's acting skills are really good; he almost fooled him.

"Young Master... really..." Li Changchun looked at Li Junsu's back, unsure of what to think.

Once Li Changchun came to his senses, he felt that Li Junsu, who could set up a stage at will, was even more formidable and unfathomable.

"Second Young Master, where do you think Chu Yi will go?" Li Changchun asked curiously.

"The Lin family," Li Junsu said lazily.

"Second Young Master is indeed insightful." Upon hearing this, Li Changchun once again habitually flattered him.

He had forgotten that the Lin family also had a house, and now that the Lin family house belonged to the Chu family, Chu Yi had the right to occupy it both morally and logically.

“Once it cracks, it can’t heal.” Li Junsu chuckled and got into the carriage.
