Li Xingge entered long seclusion once more, and before doing so, he entrusted the great authority in his hands to the elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spring passed and autumn came. In the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that year, the Li Clan’s strength improved in every aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although no new Qi-Blood Realm cultivators were born, the number of Physical Body Realm cultivators had already risen to more than forty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the autumn wind was bleak, and the weather was slightly chilly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qingfeng Valley,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a woman in ragged clothes, sallow and emaciated, her face weathered by hardship, looked at the nearby Qingfeng Valley, and a glimmer of hope rose in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing someone approaching, one of the Li Clan cultivators guarding the mountain stepped forward to drive her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I... I am... Miss Xuling’s maidservant. Please... please save Xu...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish speaking, the world spun around her. Her vision went black, and she collapsed unconscious to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li Clan cultivator frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Xuling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as though he had suddenly remembered something, his expression changed. He immediately picked the woman up and sprinted into Qingfeng Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a side room in the large courtyard where Third Elder Li Xuanyong lived,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuanyong sat with his brows tightly knit. As the woman tearfully recounted the story, the anger in his heart grew greater and greater. When that anger reached its limit, he chopped down with one hand and split the tea table beside him cleanly in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That whelp has gone too far! Does he think my Li Clan has no one left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuanyong said furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the side, the old lady, after hearing what had happened to her daughter, felt as though knives were carving at her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glared angrily at Li Xuanyong and sobbed, “It is all your fault, you old fool. You just had to marry our daughter off so far away. My poor daughter has actually been living such a miserable life over there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master... Old Madam... please... cough, cough... you must save Miss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman lying on the bed pleaded weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuanyong suppressed his fury with great effort and said, “I will write a letter this instant to that old thing Guo Taichang and ask him whether this is truly the family discipline of the Guo family, to have raised such a beast who dotes on a concubine while crushing his wife. I want to see whether he has placed my Li Clan in his eyes at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that the “Miss Xuling” the woman spoke of was Li Xuling, Li Xuanyong’s daughter. Many years ago, for the sake of the family’s interests, he had married Li Xuling to the eldest son of Guo Taichang, who at the time had been the Family Head of the Guo family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Guo Taichang withdrew behind the scenes, and the eldest son of the Guo family succeeded to the position of Family Head. After he took power, his wife’s connection with her natal family gradually weakened, and for many years, only letters had passed between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuanyong had originally thought that his daughter, now the Guo family’s mistress, simply had to pay attention to appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Li Xuanyong never imagined was that after his son-in-law rose to the position of Family Head, he became infatuated with an actress from the pleasure quarters. He brought that woman into the residence and took her as a concubine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Guo family’s mistress, Li Xuling naturally could not stop her husband from taking a concubine to expand the family line, so she endured it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what she never expected was that after the actress gave birth to a son of a concubine, she would begin harboring thoughts she should never have had and set her sights on her own son’s position as the Guo family’s Young Family Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how gentle Li Xuling’s temper might have been, she could no longer endure it. She had wanted to punish that actress a little, yet she never expected that her biased husband would step in to stop her. The actress became even more arrogant beneath his favor, while her husband only looked on coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left with no other choice, Li Xuling wrote a letter, hoping her natal family would stand up for her. But the Guo family’s Family Head intercepted the letter. Enraged, he used it as a pretext to make trouble and had Li Xuling imprisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That imprisonment lasted for three full years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the maidservant A-Lian who had accompanied Li Xuling in marriage remained utterly loyal. Risking her life, she escaped from the Guo family and journeyed across thousands of mountains and rivers to reach the Li Clan and report the news. The suffering a mortal woman must have endured along that journey was not difficult to imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuanyong rolled up his sleeves and was just about to take up the brush when the old woman at his side snatched it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A letter? What use is a letter? Can one miserable letter save our daughter? Our daughter was married into the Guo family for the sake of the Li Clan. The family must stand up and seek justice for her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman said with her hands on her hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuanyong looked hesitant, yet the old woman had already stormed out of the room in a fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Elder, you must seek justice for our Xuling. The Guo family’s actions are proof that they have not placed our Li Clan in their eyes at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman said through tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the side, the Grand Elder, having learned the full story, was already furious beyond measure. He comforted her, saying, “Sister-in-law, do not worry. The family will certainly not sit by and ignore this matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he called toward the doorway, “Men!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One attendant stepped in and respectfully cupped his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Elder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immediately dispatch a messenger to the Guo family of Dong County. Tell Guo Taichang that he must give my Li Clan an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, he will bear the consequences!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder said with an incomparably imposing expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Grand Elder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant accepted the order and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten days later, the messenger returned after many twists and turns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the Grand Elder, he said with a face full of shame, “Grand Elder, I went to the Guo family, but I could not even enter the gates. They even sent word that this was the Guo family’s private affair and had nothing whatsoever to do with our Li Clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he carefully lifted his head and glanced at the Grand Elder’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that the Grand Elder’s face had already turned as cold as frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Very good indeed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder said through clenched teeth, each word dripping with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Summon the elders. We will discuss matters in the council hall!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Xingge entered seclusion, the Grand Elder had become, in name and in truth, the family’s foremost authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, inside the Li Clan council hall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elders, the matter is roughly as I have just explained it. Now, we must make a decision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Elder chose to avoid the matter, while Second Elder Li Xuanzhong said, “Elders, I believe our Li Clan cannot sit by and do nothing in this matter. That child Xuling married into the Guo family for the sake of our Li Clan’s interests. We must ensure Xuling’s interests are protected. Otherwise, what child in the clan would still dare make sacrifices for the family in the future?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Second Elder is right. Doting on a concubine while crushing the wife is intolerable to heaven’s reason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must show the Guo family a little color!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging a few words among themselves, the elders reached a unified conclusion. In the end, the Sixth Elder said, “Grand Elder, since this Guo family has failed to place us in their eyes, then we can only speak to them from the perspective of strength. Since they do not want decency, then we will help them be decent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is exactly what I was thinking. In that case, Second Elder, I will trouble you and Retainer Jiang Dao to make this trip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Elder cupped his fists and said, “Please rest assured, everyone. This trip will certainly not tarnish the prestige of my Li Clan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he rose and departed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1466,"2026-06-06T08:04:24.247Z",1,"novelbin.me","258218771dd1d5e8d01191298d5736cc40e44a5676ca1582427208234735c553","from-age-seventeen-i-became-the-head-of-the-long-chapter-63","from-age-seventeen-i-became-the-head-of-the-long-chapter-61",73,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-age-seventeen-i-became-the-head-of-the-long-cover.jpg"]
