Chapter 2696: Show Mercy
“Young Master, please show mercy.”
An aged voice came from the sky with a sigh. As soon as the voice had spoken, the expression of Patriarch Li, who was still being held by Feng Jiu, changed. Startled and panicked, he raised his head and towards the sky, but as he was being held down, he was unable to turn his head to look up in the sky. Though the familiar voice was enough to make him panic.
When the people of the Li Family heard the voice, they were also stunned. When they looked back, they saw an old man in grey clothes sitting on a flying contract beast coming towards them. There were 5 people behind him, and when they saw the old man and five people, the people of the Li Family were overjoyed.
“It’s Old Patriarch, the Second Master and a few Elders.”
“Grandfather is here!”
“Grandfather must have come to get justice for me!” Young Master Li said in joy. He waved his uninjured hand in the air: “Grandfather! Grandfather!”
One or two people were surprised: Why did the Old Patriarch come out of seclusion? The Old Patriarch should be in seclusion at this time! Moreover, why did the Second Master and few Elders come as well?
Those two people were a little older and tended to think more deeply about things. Though they saw that the Old Patriarch had come, they didn’t think that he was here to get justice for the Patriarch. After all, if he had been here to get justice, he would have shouted when he was coming forward.
For a while, the two of them looked at each other, then they took a few steps quietly.
The contract beast crouched down on the ground and lowered its body so that Old Patriarch Li could get down. As soon as the old man got down, Young Master Li ran forward.
…
“Grandfather, Grand…”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw his Grandfather’s majestic and stern gaze that swept towards him. The stern look in his eyes made him shudder and he was unable to say the next words.
After Old Patriarch Li stared at him coldy, he walked past him without saying a word and walked to the place where Feng Jiu was.
He watched the young man in azure clothes who had pinned his son to the ground half-kneeling. He saw his son’s pale face as he was powerless to resist and the look of panic and helplessness on his face when he saw him.
“Father, why are you here?” Patriarch Li asked in a trembling voice. He hadn’t expected his Father would come here, and to see this scene. At this moment, he inexplicably panicked.
However, Old Patriarch Li stared coldly at him. When he opened his mouth to reply, the aura of his superior strength made everyone around them scared to speak. They all quietened down and didn’t dare to be impudent.
Old Patriarch Li looked at Feng Jiu with his wise eyes. With just one glance, he retracted his gaze and eased his expression, then he folded his hands and bowed: “Young Master, please be merciful and allow my unworthy son to live. I will make sure I give Young Master a satisfactory explanation for offending Young Master.”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd didn’t say anything but they gasped and looked at Feng Jiu in astonishment and shock. They thought that Old Patriarch Li had come to get justice for his descendants, they hadn’t expected Old Patriarch Li to come and make an apology.
What did this young man in azure clothes do to deserve this treatment? That the ancestor of the Li Family would act like so? For a time, everyone’s eyes fell on the young man in azure clothes.
Feng Jiu’s heart moved slightly when she heard those words. She glanced at the old man and saw that his expression was magnanimous and apologetic. He hadn’t put on an act for her. So she pondered for a while, then she released the hand that was holding down Patriarch Li and took a step back at the same time.
