Chapter 64: Teaching the Servants a Lesson

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The servant, who had clearly noticed that Li Han’s expression was off, immediately coughed twice to warn the others. However, the servants who were chatting excitedly while working didn’t notice at all.

Before Li Han could speak, the soft whip in Xiao Cui’s hand slapped the ground.

Her voice was especially loud in the small courtyard. The servants were startled, as if the whip had struck their hearts.

The servants were alarmed. They turned around and knelt in Li Han’s direction. “Greetings, Miss Han!”

Li Han looked down at the servants kneeling on the ground in front of her and snorted disdainfully. “Aren’t I, the eldest daughter, very useless? Why are you all so afraid?”

The servants dared not make a sound. They hung their heads as they trembled.

Li Han’s gaze suddenly became fierce. She took the soft whip from Xiao Cui and whipped the servant who had just said that she had lost to Li Ling.

That incident was the greatest humiliation in Li Han’s life, but it actually became a topic of gossip behind her back. How could she not be angry?!

“You guys are quite impressive! Who gave you the guts to talk about your master behind her back?!” Li Han’s tone was vicious, and her eyes were burning with rage.

The soft whip fell again, this time, towards the servant who had said, “Li Ling is the most powerful one.”

“After you entered this courtyard, you only acknowledge Li Ling as your master now? Since when did she have the final say in the Li family’s residence?” Li Han swung the whip again and slapped the servant ruthlessly.

The servant was bleeding, but she didn’t dare to cry out loud. She could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Seeing that the servants were silent, Li Han was even angrier.

She raised the soft whip in her hand high. There was already spiritual energy fluctuation on the soft whip.

If the whip fell, it probably wouldn’t just break one’s skin or injure one’s tendons!

Those servants cowered as they knelt on the ground. They knew that Li Han probably wouldn’t stop until she finished venting her anger on them.

They hoped that someone would appear and save them.

Li Han suddenly lashed out the soft whip in her hand. The sound of the whip tearing through the air terrified those servants.

In the next second, the expected sounds of bones cracking and wailing didn’t come. The servants were puzzled at first, but some bold ones secretly looked up at Li Han.

Kong Rui was grabbing Li Han’s raised wrist tightly. No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free.

Right now, Li Han was no match for Kong Rui in terms of cultivation and aura. Just by how easily she was grabbed by Kong Rui, she could already sense the difference in strength between the two of them.

Seeing this, Xiao Cui wanted to help, but Li Ling kicked her to the side and she fell to the ground.

Li Han glared at Kong Rui. “What are you doing?!”

Kong Rui smiled and revealed a puzzled expression. “You’re really strange. You came to my courtyard with a whip, yet asked me what I’m doing. Are you always overstepping your authority like this?”

Hearing Kong Rui’s words, Li Han gritted her teeth.

Overstepping her authority?

Was Li Ling declaring her sovereignty?

Was she emphasizing that this courtyard belonged to her? That she was the most important person among the younger generation of the Li family?

The more Li Han thought about it, the angrier she became. Her face was already slightly flushed. “Let go of me! These servants are disrespectful. I want to teach them a lesson!”

Kong Rui had no intention of retreating. “No matter how rude they are, they’re in my courtyard now. I won’t agree to you beating them up!”

Seeing this, Li Han looked at Xiao Cui, who was on the ground. “Then why did you hurt Xiao Cui?”

Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and didn’t even look at Xiao Cui. “She blocked my path and even wanted to attack me. Can’t I defend myself?”

“You… you’re just quibbling!” Li Han’s expression was displeased as she glared at Kong Rui. “You’re twisting the facts!”

Kong Rui smiled. “You actually want to talk reason with me? Why don’t we go to the ancestral hall and talk to the patriarch? He’s probably still there.”

When she heard that Li Ling was going to look for the Patriarch, Li Han instantly became much less aggressive.

Li Ling glanced at Li Han’s limp arm in disdain. Knowing that she wouldn’t dare to attack again, she retracted her hand.
