Li Wei opened his eyes drowsily, his head feeling dizzy.

For a moment, he felt like he was reborn.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he laughed. Perhaps he had been reading too many novels in the library recently...

When his vision gradually became clear, he found himself lying on a patch of barren and withered grass.

Next to me is the familiar red brick wall, the wall is mottled, revealing the plaster inside.

Not far away is the small cement playground. The basketball hoop beside the playground has long been rusted and the net is torn like a fishing net.

There's also the peeling horizontal bar and the flagpole standing alone in the middle of the playground...

Yuhong Orphanage?

He was a little stiff, his mind was blank, and his thoughts seemed to be fragmented.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Oh...it turned out to be afternoon activity time, and I accidentally fell asleep.

He sat up from the grass, brushed off the grass clippings on his pants, and stretched his stiff arms and legs.

Looking at his friends playing happily on the playground, he also prepared to find a group to join them.

Just then, there was a commotion at the end of the wall.

On the playground, children of all ages stopped and stretched their necks to look over there.

Li Wei also came over curiously.

I saw a tall and strong boy about twelve or thirteen years old, with three followers surrounding a thin and small child.

The little kid who was surrounded was about six or seven years old. He was looking up and arguing stubbornly with the older kids.

Next second.

Bang!

A crisp sound.

The older kid swung his arm and slapped the younger kid to the ground.

The moment this scene happened, Li Wei's brain buzzed and his anger exploded instantly.

Damn, you dare to hit my little brother?!

Without much thought, he jumped up like a mad little leopard.

"I'll fuck you!"

He roared and used all his strength to hit the older child headfirst.

The older boy staggered and cursed before he could stand up again when Li Wei's fists rained down on him.

However, he was only ten years old after all, and there was a gap in both size and strength.

When the older boy realized what was happening, he pushed him down immediately. The other three followers rushed over and beat him up with punches and kicks.

In just a few breaths, Li Wei was beaten black and blue.

But he was also very ruthless. He didn't care about other people and would just grab any small guy and beat him up.

until......

"Stop! Stop it right there!"

The nanny's sharp screams finally rang out, and the chaotic scene was forcibly stopped.

The four people who beat people were quickly taken away by the deputy director, Grandma Liu, who came after hearing the news, with a gloomy face.

Li Wei and the little guy, Li Cheng, his adopted brother from the orphanage, were sent to the infirmary.

"hiss--"

When treating the wound, Li Wei grimaced in pain, but he refused to dodge.

After the medicine was applied, he pulled Li Cheng and thanked the doctor in a serious manner before coming out together.

Standing in the corridor, looking at Li Cheng's red and peeling cheek, Li Wei felt sore and painful in his heart.

He spoke in a bad mood, scolding, "Are you stupid? You knew you couldn't win, yet you still argued with those little bullies. Can't you just admit your weakness first?"

Li Cheng pursed his lips, raised his head, and looked straight at him with his big black eyes.

Li Wei felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, but when he saw the bruises all over his body, his anger rose again.

"Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong? Are your little arms and legs strong enough to be punched?"

Li Cheng still didn't say anything, just looked at him, which made Li Wei feel uneasy.

After a long time, he asked in a very soft voice.

"Why are you so nice to me?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment.

Why?

There aren't so many twists and turns in a ten-year-old boy's mind.

He thought for a moment, then puffed out his chest, patted it loudly, and answered confidently:

"Because you are my henchman!"

"As the big brother, of course I have to treat you well!"

-----------------

The breath of life emitted by the flower bud not only revived all things, but also washed over the two people standing close to each other.

They only felt a shock throughout their body, as if a warm river was roaring and surging within their bodies.

The bones crackled under the heavy weight, and tearing pain spread throughout the limbs.

Gu Jinzhi groaned, and his muscles tensed instantly, forcibly guiding this nascent power.

Zeng Yize does not have such strong willpower.

He cried out in pain and sat down on the tiles, his face pale and blue, with a distorted expression.

A quarter of an hour later, their strength all reached the peak of the third level.

After everything calmed down, the two looked at each other, but there was no joy in their eyes.

Instead, they raised their heads together and locked their eyes on the huge lotus of light.

Until the sky turned pale, the huge flower bud still stood quietly, shining brightly, looking extremely magical.

"Go and stabilize the morale of the troops first." Gu Jinzhi ordered with some helplessness in his voice.

"What about you?" Zeng Yi asked.

"Go to court."

......

Due to the huge changes in Jianji Hall, the morning court was moved to the main hall of Qianyuan Palace.

When all the officials stepped into the palace, they all had strange expressions on their faces and were whispering to each other. The palace was buzzing with noise, as if it were a busy city.
