Note: The order is fixed now. Yay!
Of course, it was impossible for people to figure out the true identity of Great Qiâs mysterious Legatee. His true identity had been one of the greatest mysteries of the human world, and now that this secret was exposed, the shockwaves it caused were massive.
No one would have expected that the lucky person Great Qinâs Legatee had chosen, Zhao Fu, would actually be Great Qinâs Legatee himself.
This was because Zhao Fu was simply too plain and ordinary, and he seemed like a minor figure.
Even though Zhao Fu had become Great Qinâs Legateeâs representative, causing everyone to know of him, everyone believed him to just be a puppet. How could anyone take him seriously? No one cared about someone like him.
From the leaders of countries to the countless Legatees, everyone was completely flabbergasted, including Si Ji, Tina Pendragon, Akhenaten, and Geoffrey.
No one could have expected that Great Qinâs incredibly evil, vicious, and bloodthirsty Legatee would be such an ordinary, minor figure. If such a person appeared in front of them, they would not even bother looking at him.
At the same time, many people respected such an ordinary person who had no resources being able to single handedly create the Great Qin Empire.
Some people also felt quite regretful. They had never expected that Great Qinâs Legatee, who the Ying family had been looking for this entire time, had been hiding within the Ying family this entire time. If they had known about this, they would have joined together to destroy the Ying family; that way, they would have been able to kill Great Qinâs Legatee.
It was a pity that there was no medicine for curing regret. Those people could only sigh; Great Qin had already taken over half of the Midland Continent, and their futures would be quite dark with no light or hope.
After hearing about Great Qinâs Legateeâs true identity, many factions felt quite regretful and shocked as well. There was one faction that simply could not accept this to be true, and this was naturally Great Tangâs Li family.
When the Li familyâs old patriarch heard that his illegitimate child was actually Great Qinâs Legatee, he felt as if his head had been hit by a hammer, and he went completely blank. He then coughed up a mouthful of blood and seemed to age ten or so years. His eyes became incredibly hollow, and his entire person seemed to wither.
Li Zhe, Zhao Fuâs father, had an extremely unsightly and shocked look on his face. He had never thought that a woman he just played with would be able to give birth to such a terrifying figure. That annoying, lowly bastard was actually Great Qinâs Legatee.
Li Baiqing was also indescribably shocked. He had never thought that that minor figure, someone he did not even consider worthy for him to look at, someone who he considered not good enough to even call him big brother, was Great Qinâs Legatee, whose name resounded throughout the world.
The entire Li family seemed to be covered by a dark haze, and everyoneâs faces were extremely pale. They all felt immense terror and despair, and their bodies trembled. If there was a list of factions that Great Qinâs Legatee wanted to destroy, the Li family would be at the very top of the list. After all, everything the Li family had done to Zhao Fu would definitely be paid back ten times over by him.
Back then, Li Zhe had thrown away Zhao Fu and his mother. Zhao Fu had decided not to pursue this matter and live peacefully, but the Li familyâs old patriarch had given the order for Zhao Fu to be killed. He had shown no mercy, and despite the first assassination failing, he had tried again.
This sort of hatred definitely could not be placated; once Zhao Fu decided to repay the debt, everyone in the Li family would die, and Great Tang might even perish at his hands.
After going through some emergency medical treatment, the Li familyâs old patriarchâs complexion slightly recovered, but his face was incredibly pale. He quickly gathered everyone to discuss this matter.
Now, the Li familyâs bastard had become Great Qinâs Legatee. This person, who they had all looked down on and thought they could kill easily, had achieved such great accomplishments, and he definitely harbored great hatred towards the Li family.
If they did not deal with this matter seriously, the Li familyâs people would not only die, but they would also die horrible deaths. This was because the ones Zhao Fu hated the most were the Li family. No matter how powerful his other enemies were, they could not compare to the reasons the Li family had given him to hate them.
Everyone gathered together, and the Li familyâs old patriarch sighed before saying, âWhat should we do? Do we have to watch Great Tang be destroyed at this bastardâs hands?â
An elderly woman looked at the Li familyâs old patriarch with a blaming glare and said, âBack then, I told you to control that son of yours. You said that as a man, he needs to have his fun and that as your son, itâs only right that heâs like this. If you raised him properly, this would never have happened.
âBack then, I also told you to take in that mother and son. With the Li familyâs finances, we would not even notice them being here. However, you were adamant on not taking them in because you said that this was a humiliation to the Li family.
That child has such talent, and if he was willing to serve the Li family, how bright would our future have been? Right now, it might not have been Great Qin conquering the world but Great Tang unifying the world.
âWithout him, how could Great Qin have become so terrifying? It was you who delivered such an amazing person to the Ying family for free. How did the Ying family become so lucky to obtain such a shocking person?â
Hearing this, the Li familyâs old patriarch felt indescribably regretful. If he had kept that mother and son back then, Great Tang would be in a completely different position; it might really have been Great Tang unifying the world, as opposed to Great Qin.
Even his favorite grandson, the most excellent person in the Li family, paled in comparison to Great Qinâs Legatee. If he could go back in time, he definitely would not have made the same decision.
However, there was no turning back now. The Li familyâs old patriarch now felt quite angry; if he had been crueller and killed the mother and son from the beginning, things would not have turned out like this, and the Li family would not be in such a crisis.
Sitting by the side, Li Baiqing felt quite displeased as well. The reality was that he was indeed inferior to Zhao Fu. His half-brother, Great Qinâs Legatee, had struck fear into his heart for a long time, and he knew clearly that he would never surpass him in his lifetime; he could not compare to even a single finger on Great Qinâs Legateeâs hand. When he thought of this, Li Baiqingâs expression became quite unsightly.
Sitting beside him, there was an extremely beautiful and sexy, yet dignified, woman. She held Li Baiqingâs cold hand and gently smiled at him as she said comfortingly, âBai Qi, youâre the most outstanding person in the world; I donât think that Great Qinâs Legatee is great at all. I only like you, and this is why I chose you back then.â
This woman was Yang Yuyan, the fifth-ranked woman on the Ancient Beauty Rankings. She was the descendant of Consort Yang. Back then, only she and Wu Qingniang had not chosen to join any Dynasty Legatees, but in the end, she had joined Great Tang and become Li Baiqingâs woman. She was deeply loved by Li Baiqing and was currently his only woman.
