Seeing the three Zhao family bodyguards blocking him, one of whom attacked with vicious intent, Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed with killing intent as he delivered a swift kick.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The three Zhao family bodyguards were sent flying backward instantly. The one who had attacked viciously suffered the most severe injuries, with at least three ribs broken.
"Ahhhh~~~" For a moment, the three Zhao family bodyguards writhed in pain on the ground, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Li Xiaotian. They never expected that this seemingly ordinary man possessed such immense strength!
"What's going on? What happened?" At this moment, someone rushed out from the mansion. It was the bodyguard who had gone to report earlier. Upon seeing his companions lying on the ground, his expression instantly turned furious, and he glared coldly at Li Xiaotian.
"Did you do this? Are you looking for death?"
"You're back!" Li Xiaotian grinned, instantly closing the distance and grabbing the man by the neck. He applied pressure with his fingers and then looked at him, speaking in a calm tone.
"You went to report earlier. It was just a phone call, and it took you half an hour. Tell me, who is looking for death?"
"You! You! You!" The bodyguard, held by Li Xiaotian, turned pale, his heart filled with shock. He hadn't even noticed how this young man had moved, and now, being held by him, he felt utterly incapable of resisting.
"Hmm?" Li Xiaotian raised an eyebrow, tightened his grip, and asked the man.
"I'm asking you! Who is looking for death? And what orders did the Zhao family give you?"
"Cough cough!" The man's face gradually turned red. He struggled to pry Li Xiaotian's hand off, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge Li Xiaotian's grip.
At this moment, the man was filled with fear, and he quickly said, "I don't know anything. I'm just following the orders of the Zhao family. I'm just a bodyguard for the Zhao family. I didn't intentionally make things difficult for your family. Old Master Zhao said you were to wait outside the door for an hour to understand the Zhao family's rules."
"Hmph!" Li Xiaotian snorted coldly, casually let go of the bodyguard, and then, holding Ye Qingmei, walked towards the interior of the manor.
Meanwhile, the Zhao family members were still leisurely drinking tea in the main hall, completely unaware that Li Xiaotian had already brought his wife and daughter inside.
In the main hall, Fang Yuan's eyes were red with anxiety. She wanted to go out and see Ye Qingmei, but her husband, Zhao Tianlong, blocked her, leaving her only able to worry inwardly.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded, and a servant burst into the main hall, shouting at the Zhao family members within.
"Bad news! Someone... someone has broken in!"
"Speak properly! What are you so flustered about? Who has broken in?" In the main hall, the Zhao family patriarch, Zhao Tiancheng, reprimanded with a stern face.
"Your third master's daughter, Ye Qingmei, her husband has brought her in. All the bodyguards who tried to stop them on the way have been injured by that man!" the servant said hurriedly, a look of panic on his face.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the main hall's expression changed!
"Presumptuous! How dare they! How dare they!!" Old Master Zhao stood up in anger. His esteemed Zhao family had been forcibly entered, and by the very family he had ordered to teach a lesson to Ye Qingmei's family.
"This is utterly audacious! To force their way into my Zhao family, even if she carries our Zhao family's bloodline, she cannot act so wantonly!" Patriarch Zhao Tiancheng's face turned ashen. At the same time, he cast a displeased glance at Zhao Tianlong, his meaning clear: Ye Qingmei was his daughter.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and send people to stop them, especially that wild woman's husband. He's just an outsider, and he dares to force his way into my Zhao family? Have someone break his legs!"
"When did our Zhao family become so easily bullied? If this gets out, won't the entire capital laugh at our Zhao family?"
"Too presumptuous! And they still want to join my Zhao family and become a Zhao family member? A sparrow trying to become a phoenix, but doesn't even know if it has the strength!"
For a moment, the Zhao family members in the hall spoke out in reprimand, their faces filled with anger. The intrusion into their Zhao family made them feel that they had lost face, and even before seeing Ye Qingmei, they had already developed hatred for her entire family.
Fang Yuan's face showed anxiety, and she was angry at Li Xiaotian in her heart. Forcibly entering the Zhao family was something her daughter Ye Qingmei would never do; it must have been instigated by this Li Xiaotian.
This Li Xiaotian, did he not know where he was? This was the Zhao family of the capital! Forcibly entering the Zhao family, even if he was Ye Qingmei's husband, he would likely not escape punishment from the Zhao family afterwards.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tianlong's face was extremely grim. He didn't need to guess; it must have been his freeloading son-in-law acting on his own. However, he then sneered. This was good. He had suffered a loss at the man's hands in Jiangnan before, and now, this was the Zhao family's territory. What could this man do, even if he had some strength? The Zhao family had plenty of such people!
It would be best if his legs were broken, and then Ye Qingmei could be remarried to someone else. This way, he could completely control his daughter, and she would obediently listen to him in the future.
At this moment, the Zhao family members in the hall all walked out, and the Zhao family's bodyguards also mobilized, surrounding the area outside the main hall. There were nearly a hundred of them, all radiating murderous intent, waiting for Li Xiaotian's family to arrive.
"Clang!" A large door in front was pushed open, and Li Xiaotian, with his wife and daughter, appeared before the Zhao family members.
Instantly, everyone's gaze outside the main hall turned towards them, their eyes filled with coldness and mockery, anticipating a good show.
"Bold, unfilial daughter! You still have the face to come to the Zhao family? And you dare to let your husband force his way into the Zhao family! Do you still want to acknowledge your ancestors?" Zhao Tianlong was the first to speak, striding towards Ye Qingmei with a furious expression, preparing to slap her.
Seeing this, Li Xiaotian immediately stepped forward, grabbed the man's hand, and his eyes turned slightly cold.
"If you dare to hit her, I will destroy your Zhao family!"
"Presumptuous!" Zhao Tianlong immediately became enraged. This was the Zhao family's territory, and he was not afraid of Li Xiaotian.
"What are you saying? Say it again if you dare!"
"If you hit my wife, I will destroy your Zhao family!" Li Xiaotian repeated.
"Audacious!"
"Arrogant!"
"This is simply outrageous, too presumptuous! Who do you think you are? Do you know what your words represent?" Old Master Zhao's face was ashen. This was the first time he had encountered someone speaking of destroying his Zhao family to his face.
"Zhao family bodyguards, what are you standing around for? Break the legs of this blind fool and make him kneel to confess!" Zhao family's eldest daughter, Zhao Lu, ordered indignantly.
Instantly, a group of Zhao family bodyguards closest to Li Xiaotian moved, a total of over a dozen of them, and they all lunged at Li Xiaotian.
