Inside his study room when his father had declared Li Heng as the winner after a few days, Li Qiang was baffled.
Li Jiang was happy as he didn't mind which elder brother of his won while Li Heng just stupidly stared at his father not even knowing how he won.
However, when his father gave him a paper, he could only obediently take it from him.
It was after Li Heng and Li Jiang left the study room, Li Qiang finally asked his father as to why he chose Li Heng as his heir.
He was not envious of Li Heng. He was just worried.
At the age of nineteen, Li Qiang knew just how many sacrifices the one who become the head of the clan needs to do. He had seen his father doing all this for so many years. He had seen his m9ther constantly worrying about his father's safety. He had even seen his father on the brink of death many times and he had also missed him during his childhood when he was on the borders fighting to save the country.
