Red Gate Alley.
This was the most prosperous street in Xiaoyu Town.
Many wealthy families lived here.
These wealthy families painted their gates red, and that was how Red Gate Alley got its name.
For example, the Li mansion was at one end of Red Gate Alley, while the Lei mansion was at the other end.
The Lei family's backyard.
Although the Lei family's backyard was not as luxurious as the Jiang family's backyard, it was filled with all kinds of weapons and sandbags.
The patriarch of the Lei family, Lei Feiche, had a full beard and a fiery personality.
He was the kind of guy who didn't talk much.
He was very fond of martial arts, so he often practiced in his own backyard.
For example, at this time, he was practicing a set of fist techniques in the courtyard.
This fist technique was vigorous and very extraordinary.
At the peak of his practice routine, he was suddenly distracted by a series of shouts.
"Patriarch, something bad has happened!"
A gray-robed figure came in and knelt at the side of the backyard as he spoke.
"Patriarch, the private school teacher sent someone to report that Young Master was beaten up in school!"
Lei Feiche, whose cultivation practice had been interrupted, was about to fly into a rage.
But when he heard this, he froze and hurriedly stopped cultivating.
His gaze was like two sharp blades, piercing through the servant who had brought him the news.
His voice was equally sharp. "What did you say?"
"Who has the guts to lay a hand on my son?!"
"Patriarch, I heard that it was those young ladies from the Jiang family."
The servant was trembling in fear. He didn't even dare to raise his head as he replied with a trembling voice.
"The Jiang family!"
Lei Feiche's expression immediately changed when he heard 'the Jiang family'.
His gaze was so ferocious that it could set things aflame as he hissed, "Why is it them again?!"
"Damn it! This time, I must teach the Jiang family a lesson!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't even bother changing his clothes. Still dressed in his sweaty martial arts training outfit, he left the main gate of the Lei mansion and headed towards the school.
The servant's body trembled. He didn't dare to delay and hurriedly followed him.
At the same time, in the Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Ping was practicing his calligraphy when he suddenly received a report from a servant.
On the surface, Jiang Ping acted as if nothing had happened, but his heart skipped a beat.
The word he was currently writing was written incorrectly.
He knew that Wan'er would definitely cause trouble again.
But he didn't expect that only two days had passed...
He really didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to let them cultivate.
Sigh!
Jiang Ping sighed softly.
He sighed because he had ruined a word in his calligraphy, and also because of this daughter of his, who never failed to give him a headache.
...
Lei Feiche stormed through the street.
The fierce look on his face scared the passers-by out of his way.
But before he could leave Red Gate Alley, Lei Feiche was stopped by someone.
"Brother Lei!"
Hearing a familiar voice, Lei Feiche subconsciously turned his head.
He saw a person behind him waving his hand and quickly walking towards him.
Seeing the person who came, Lei Feichong was immediately overjoyed.
He also hurriedly took a few steps forward to welcome him.
"Brother Li! It's you."
That's right, the person who came was Li Batian.
The two of them cupped their fists and saluted each other.
Li Batian sized up Lei Feiche and found that he was still wearing his martial arts outfit.
Moreover, Lei Feiche looked quite anxious, so Li Batian couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Brother Lei, you seem to be in a hurry, I wonder why?"
Lei Feiche looked a little hesitant to tell Li Batian about it.
Li Batian could also tell that Lei Feiche didn't want to talk about it.
He immediately said seriously, "Brother Lei, Our two families are very close."
"You and I are even closer. We're like brothers. If you have something to say, just say it."
That was what Lei Feiche wanted to hear from Li Batian, so he sighed and continued, "I won't hide it from Brother Li. I'm just ashamed to say it."
"My youngest son was just beaten up in school."
"What? Your son was also beaten up?"
Hearing Lei Feiche's words, Li Batian couldn't help but tremble as he thought of his youngest son, who had also been beaten up two days ago.
Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to extort money from Jiang Ping, but in the end, he failed to get what he wanted.
He could understand why Lei Feiche was hesitating.
After all, this matter was embarrassing!
But when he thought of the imposing manner that Jiang Ping had released that day, and how that oppressive feeling made him unable to breathe, his whole body shivered.
Now, even when he went out, he had to be careful, for fear of bumping into Jiang Ping.
Just as he said this, he realized that he had said the word "also".
How was he going to explain this?
He stole a glance at Lei Feiche and realized that his expression was a little ugly.
He seemed not to have noticed that detail, making Li Batian heave a sigh of relief.
After all, being beaten up was a shameful thing, but being beaten up by a girl was even more shameful!
"Brother Lei, you don't have to worry too much."
"I'm sure your son will be fine."
Li Batian casually comforted Lei Feiche.
"I hope it's as Brother Li says," Lei Feiche replied, sighing and shaking his head.
"If my Lei family could be as powerful as the Li family, and I had Brother Li's strength, then this wouldn't have happened today."
"In Xiaoyu Town, who doesn't know how powerful the Li family is?"
"Who would dare to provoke Brother Li? It's a pity that our Lei family is far inferior!"
"Ahem! Brother Lei is really flattering me."
Hearing this, Li Batian couldn't help but blush and laugh.
Firstly, he felt pleased being praised, especially when he was being praised by someone like the patriarch of the Lei family.
Secondly, he felt a little embarrassed.
Who would dare to provoke him? Jiang Ping, of course. He almost killed him to make him admit his mistake.
Although Lei Feiche didn't know about this matter, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
He also felt a little uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen.
Li Batian's expression only confirmed what he thought.
He smiled and said, "Brother Li, if you have nothing to do, why don't you come with me?"
"That way, I can borrow Brother Li's prestige and suppress the enemy's arrogance."
"Haha, that's fine too!"
Li Batian was delighted by the compliments.
Moreover, he had nothing to do today, so he might as well give him some support.
He laughed and said, "Today, I'll go with you."
"Let's see which idiot dares to offend us!"
"Thank you, Brother Li!"
Lei Feiche's plan succeeded, so he was naturally overjoyed.
The Lei family was not as powerful as the Jiang family.
The fierceness he displayed in front of his servants just now was just for show.
With the Li family's help, they might be able to defeat the Jiang family today.
That was why he deliberately approached Li Batian.
And now, he had succeeded.
Hmph, Jiang Ping!
I don't believe your family can withstand the pressure of the Lei and Li families at the same time!
At this moment, Lei Feiche felt much better.
The two walked side by side towards the school.
