There was no doubt that the Shen family was destined to be destroyed.

Tonight, in the mansion of the Marquis of Lin’an, it was not peaceful either.

In the innermost courtyard, as soon as Xie Jingxing took off his outer robe, the door opened with a bang. The servant stood at the door nervously, afraid that he would be punished. He lowered his head and said, “Young Master… I can’t stop him…”

Xie Ding, the Marquis of Lin’an, stood at the door. When he heard that, he was even angrier and said furiously, “Stop me? Try stopping me. I’m your father! When did my mansion have a different master? Xie Jingxing, stand properly!”

Xie Jingxing glanced at Xie Ding casually and lazily threw his robe on the couch. He sat down on the chair and leaned back, putting on the air of a profligate son. “Marquis, why are you here in the middle of the night?”

It was as if he was talking to a stranger.

Xie Ding was further infuriated by that attitude. On the other hand, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao, who were following behind Xie Ding, looked angry when they heard this. However, looking at them carefully, their eyes seemed to be gloating. Xie Changchao said, “Brother, Father likes you the most among us three. How can you speak to Father like that? Don’t you have any respect for him?”

“It’s none of your business,” Xie Jingxing said.

“You little brat!” Xie Ding said angrily, “Why in the world would you go to war?!” He smacked the table as he spoke.

Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said, “Did you come here in the middle of the night just to ask me this?”

“Xie Jingxing, what exactly are you doing!” Xie Ding flew into a rage. “Do you know what kind of place the Northern border is? It’s not a joking matter. You’ve never commanded the Xie army. I’ve never taught you how to command them either. Do you really think you can lead such a large army?”

As soon as he said that, a trace of gloom flashed across Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu’s eyes. The Xie army was the most valuable asset of the Marquis of Lin’an. It was even more precious than the wealth and glory. Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao also practiced martial arts, but Xie Ding had never had the intention of letting the two of them take over the Xie army. He wanted to nurture Xie Jingxing into the next commander of the Xie army. Even if Xie Ding helped the two brothers become official, once Xie Jingxing really took over the Xie army, even if Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu worked hard for their entire lives, they would not be able to reach Xie Jingxing’s level.

“So what?” Xie Jingxing smiled. Wherever he looked, there was a trace of evilness. “I’ll learn as I command them.”

“No!” Xie Ding rejected flatly. “Withdraw the request tomorrow. You can’t go to war!”

“Marquis.” Xie Jingxing tilted his head and looked at him, as if he was looking at a clown. “I made the request, and now you want me to go back on my words. If you want His Majesty to behead me, just say it. Why do you have to be so roundabout like others?” As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Changwu and Xie Jingxing with a faint smile.

Being stared at by Xie JIngxing, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao froze, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads. Xie Changwu said, “Brother, Father is just worried about you. The terrain in the northern border is complicated. If anything happens, not only will your life be in danger, but even Father will be punished and the entire Xie army will be humiliated. You can’t just think about being in the limelight and not care about the future of the Xie family.”

In other words, Xie Jingxing was biting off more than he could chew this time. He did not know his place and wanted to make a name for himself. Even if he went to war, he would only bring humiliation back to the family.
