After seeing Wen Qiong whip the little phoenix with her own eyes, Kong Rui asked Little Lion to secretly chat with the little phoenix. She knew that the little phoenix was suffering, so Kong Rui’s hatred for Wen Qiong increased!

Wen Qiong was unable to control the power of the natural phoenix essence and make the little phoenix obey her and acknowledge her as its master, so she vented all her anger on the little phoenix!

She was simply blaming others for her own incompetence!

Kong Rui gritted her teeth in hatred when she thought of Wen Qiong whipping the little phoenix until it was bloody.

When the Patriarch heard Kong Rui’s words, although he agreed with Kong Rui’s analysis, he still had to advise her.

“The princess is an important core figure of the empire after all,” the Patriarch said earnestly. “Even if you want to win, you shouldn’t lose your sense of propriety as a subject.”

“Since the princess has already accepted the challenge, it’s pointless for me to say anything else,” the Patriarch said and sighed heavily. “You have to practice diligently. Don’t embarrass the Li family!”

“Conduct yourself accordingly!” The Patriarch said and turned around to walk into the ancestral hall.

Kong Rui reached out to stop the patriarch. Didn’t he say that she had to reflect on her mistakes in the ancestral hall?

What happened to her staying in the ancestral hall all night?

What was the current situation?

Did he forget to let her enter the ancestral hall to reflect on her mistakes because of Chao Bai?

Kong Rui immediately felt vexed and regretted bringing Chao Bai back at this time!

However, since he had already been brought back, it was useless to think about this now. She could only find another opportunity to enter the ancestral hall to find the Li family’s secret technique!

After the Patriarch entered the ancestral hall and closed the door, Kong Rui returned to the courtyard resentfully.

Li Han happened to pass by the courtyard and saw Li Ling strutting towards the new courtyard. Her expression immediately became even uglier.

She rubbed the handkerchief in her hand angrily, wishing she could break Li Ling’s neck.

Xiao Cui, who was beside her, leaned over to Li Han and whispered, “Miss, I heard that she brought a man back today and even arranged for him to stay in her courtyard.”

When Li Han heard this, her expression changed slightly. “Really? You saw it clearly?”

Xiao Cui immediately emphasized, “Definitely! Several people saw it!”

Li Han frowned and said in disdain, “I didn’t expect her to… to become so…”

Li Han didn’t finish her sentence. Xiao Cui hurriedly gritted her teeth fiercely as she glanced in the direction Li Ling had left in and added, “Shameless!”

As Xiao Cui spoke, she didn’t forget to spit in the direction Li Ling had left in.

Li Han turned around and glared at Xiao Cui as she reprimanded, “How can you say that? She’s the daughter of the Li family!”

Although Li Han said that, her eyes couldn’t hide her disdain for Li Ling. Xiao Cui had been by Li Han’s side for many years, so she naturally knew Li Han’s thoughts.

Towards Li Han’s pretentious reprimand, Xiao Cui only bowed and apologized perfunctorily.

Li Han stood on the spot and thought for a moment before saying, “Let’s go! Let’s see if Sister Ling is comfortable after moving into the new courtyard.”

“Alright!” Xiao Cui replied excitedly, looking eager to go to Li Ling’s courtyard to show off.

The two of them arrived outside Li Ling’s courtyard and saw a few servants going in and out busily. Li Han’s expression revealed some unwillingness.

This courtyard should have been hers!

These servants were supposed to obey her orders!

She wondered where Li Ling got the opportunity to snatch everything that should have belonged to her!

Li Han gritted her teeth and tried to calm down.

Finally, she raised her neck proudly, puffed out her chest, and walked into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a few servants were busy. No one expected Li Han to appear.

When the first person who noticed Li Han bowed, the few people beside her were still tidying up and gossiping.

“Miss Li Ling is really impressive. Not only did she perform outstandingly in the spirit beast competition, but I heard that Young Master Cong is also an otherworldly powerhouse!”

“That’s right! Young Master Cong looks a little haggard at such a young age. I thought he was just a down-and-out scholar. I didn’t expect…”

“I heard that the Patriarch admires Young Master Cong very much and intends to keep him as the Li family’s aide. Who knows, the Patriarch might even match him with Miss Li Ling in the future!”

“In my opinion, among the young ladies of the Li family’s generation, Miss Li Ling is the most powerful. The others can’t compare to her at all!”

“You can’t say that. Miss Li Han is also very impressive! She’s the legitimate daughter!”

“So what? Didn’t she still lose to Miss Li Ling?!”
