Strongest Wastrel

0I smiled indifferently. "You're wrong. It's not that I can't refute you, but that I don't want to fight with you based on my own family's point of view."    

    

"Then tell me your reason." Lee Qinghao asked gloomily.    

    

I looked around me. All the people here were loyal to Lee Qinghao and no one supported me.    

    

I slowly lowered my head, and bitterly laughed as I shook my head, "Could it be that the Li Family are all people that are afraid of life and death?"    

    

"Crown Prince, what do you mean by that?"    

    

"Who said that our Li Family is a cowardly place? We made preparations in order to stabilize ourselves and defeat Nameless three years later."    

    

"Isn't the Crown Prince saying this a little too much?"    

    

It was as if I had displeased the whole audience.    

    

I slowly lit a cigarette, between my fingers, and pointed at them. "Preparing? Are you all brainwashed? Or are you making excuses for fear? Other than the nameless Li Family, who else can resist the Azure Dragon Four Emissaries? "    

    

"The moment Nameless loses, his Li Family will be destroyed, and what should come will, and this so-called development is just nonsense! In the eyes of someone like the Azure Dragon, a so-called family or family is just a joke! "    

    

"Showing weakness right now will only make people think that their Li Family is not strong enough. It would be better to get stronger and make people worry about their Li Family, so that people won't be able to guess how strong their Li Family is."    

    

"In that case, the Azure Dragon might be afraid, and the Fang family might be afraid. Even the Heavenly Ranking forces might be afraid too!"    

    

The moment my words left my mouth, all of the loyal relatives in Li Family were rendered speechless. It was as if their throats were sealed with chains, making them unable to make a sound.    

    

Especially Lee Qinghao, a strong feeling of unhappiness emerged on his face. Unknowingly, he clenched his yellow teeth tightly and became even gloomier.    

    

Silent, death-like silence, originally supporting Lee Qinghao's figure, the heart seems to also gradually loosen due to my words.    

    

"Crown Prince Lee, I admit that your words are reasonable, but there are still risks. If you drag the entire Li Family down with you for your own benefits, is that alright?"    

    

"It's inappropriate, but it's also appropriate, and I'm not doing it for my own sake, so you don't need to resolve the conflict like this, what exactly is going on? Everyone knows clearly, what should come will come sooner or later, there is no need to show weakness with Li Family, since it's the number one family, you must take out the attitude of a number one family!" I retorted.    

    

"Well, we all know that you and I have a point, like you're a radical and I'm a conservative, so how about we make a vote now?" In any case, since all our loyal relatives are here, it would be fair for us to vote. " Lee Qinghao's face immediately darkened, that look in his eyes seemed to want to tear me into eight pieces.    

    

I raised my eyebrows. Vote in the dark? Lee Qinghao had held the Li Family for many years, who would dare to disobey him? Who dared to not support him?    

    

I am only a newly appointed crown prince, there aren't many who admire me. Isn't it because I have more people and more prestige, that I am suppressed?    

    

Furthermore, even though Lee Qinghao and I complained about the exact opposite, it was still reasonable. He relied on his position in Li Family to vote for many years, and the key point is even so fair. In reality, this is clearly bullying me.    

    

For a time, more and more people were raising their hands in favor of the vote.    

    

"Right, everyone here is a core member of the Li Family, so voting is definitely the most fair."    

    

"That's right, only in this way will it seem fair and impartial. No matter how biased the lordmaster is, he can't continue helping the crown prince, right?"    

    

"Both sides, vote, Old Master."    

    

When everyone's gaze gathered on the old man, he looked at me with a complicated gaze. His tone was filled with helplessness as the head of the family said, "Since that's the case, then let's vote. We'll listen to whoever has the most votes."    

    

Lee Qinghao immediately laughed sinisterly and shouted, "When I, Lee Qinghao, was training with the old man, I temporarily held onto Li Family for many years. Those who support me, please stand by my side. "    

    

As soon as the words left his mouth, the group of people immediately moved and walked behind Lee Qinghao.    

    

"I support Lord Qinghao."    

    

"Lord Qinghao's plan is conservative, so it's not too dangerous."    

    

"..."    

    

Soon, only a third of the people in the ancestral hall remained unmoved, as if they were at a loss.    

    

However, under Lee Qinghao's gaze, a third of the people started to move.    

    

The remaining eight to nine old men braced themselves and silently stood behind me. Their voices were soft in support and they didn't even have the courage to speak.    

    

"Crown Prince, we support you."    

    

"Although... "They have more people."    

    

Once the results of the poll came out, the situation was completely reversed. It was simply too horrible to look at.    

    

I felt that as a crown prince, I only had my identity and did not live up to it. Most of the time, I just couldn't accept it.    

    

At this time, my mother came to my side, and whispered into my ear: "Shaobai, don't blame the old man, although the real decision is made by him, but as the master of the family, he has to take into consideration the feelings of the people below, and he doesn't want to provoke Qinghao to reverse the flow of Li Family, so he had no choice but to do it. You …"    

    

"No need for that, I know that. Everyone has their own difficulties." I raised my hand and interrupted my mother.    

    

My mother bit her lips and tried to persuade Lee Qinghao, "Qinghao, can you give me some face? "After all, this is Shaobai, he …"    

    

However, before my mom could say anything, Lee Qinghao interrupted her again. He sneered and said, "Face? If I'm giving you face, then who's giving me face? "Moomei, let's not talk about this."    

    

My mother wanted to say something, but I stopped her and shook my head. "Don't say it, it's no use. Don't beg him."    

    

When my mother heard this, she couldn't help but lower her head and sigh.    

    

Seeing this, the smile on Lee Qinghao's face became wider and wider. He first cupped his hands towards the old man, then said: "Old man, since the voting results are out, please do a notary and make a decision."    

    

The old man was helpless, his expression was complex like never before, and he looked at me with an unusually conflicted expression, "Shaobai, this matter... "We'll do as Qinghao says."    

    

"Thank you for helping." Lee Qinghao's face lit up and he couldn't help but bow.    

    

However, shortly afterwards, the old man grew serious and said with a stern face, "But, this is only a strategy to slow the army. If Nameless does not lose after three years, this marriage will still be possible."    

    

"No problem, no problem. Three years later …" "Who knows how it will turn out. Maybe Faang Dao will appear …" Lee Qinghao laughed.    

    

I secretly clenched my fist, feeling very helpless. Firstly, I had the old man's orders to not force Lee Qinghao too much, and secondly, I don't have enough prestige in the Li Family, so not many people supported me.    

    

Originally, I decided to quickly marry Chu Yuyan before Faang Dao left, but now that things have developed to this state, I'm afraid the wedding date will have to be delayed once again.    

0

    

Most importantly, I feel that I was completely bullied by Lee Qinghao this time.    

    

At this moment, what I'm most worried about is Faang Dao getting out of prison and using tricks to make Chu Wenyang bow his head in submission. I had a conflict with Chu Wenyang not long ago, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?
