I am the young master

Looking at the courtyard that the lackey was pointing at, I couldn't help but smile.

As I was smiling, Elder Yan was looking at me with a questioning gaze.

"You can tell me what is on your mind, Elder Yan…" Noticing his gaze, without turning my head I told him.

After a moment of hesitation, he chose to speak.

"Chief disciple Li, Why did you change your robes to ones of the outer disciples? Wouldn't it be more effective if you are to be seen in your core disciple robes?" there was a clear puzzlement in his tune.

"Elder Yan, this is what they call Dao of low-key…" I answered him while stroking my chin. This so-called Li Heng should have some accomplices to even think of trying this.

'Having a disguise of an old man would be fun to have if nothing else…' I thought to myself as I stroked my chin.

.

On the other side, Elder Yan was looking for words to form a sentence in response to my 'sagely' answer.

"Dao of … low-key?" in the end all he could come up with was repeating my words.

I waived my hands dismissively.

"You will understand it in a while Elder Yan, just look at me and you will know what I mean…" I told him as I was thinking of what could come out of this meeting.

This time, elder Yan didn't even try to answer me and weakly nodded to me.

If you didn't get my plan till now let me congratulate you first! Your IQ is below 70 and my congratulation was sarcastic.

Okay, okay. I won't be IQ-shaming you, I plan to do a low-key entry to his courtyard, and then I will try to use this chance to find the one behind this ploy.

Alright, sure. I'm also doing it Because it would be a good measure of my power…

As we got closer to the door I turned to elder Yan.

"Elder Yan, I think it would be better if you check the inside with your spiritual sense and don't show your face so that we can get more information out of him…" I told him.

Well, in reality, I just wanted to have a stage to try my plan and if elder Yan is there from the beginning, I wouldn't have any chance to do it as my plan involves a little self-harm so I had to tell him something that would stop him from interfering.

After hearing what I said elder Yan's eyes shone for a moment. After that, he cupped his fists to me and spoke.

"Truly a marvelous plan. You have my admiration chief disciple Li." He told me, it seems that he now gets why I'm doing this.

This was the right moment for enabling 'humble junior' mode.

"Elder overpraises me." I told him.

After the elder got some distance away, I turned to the lackeys.

"Now do as I have told you, that way you might get a lesser punishment." I told them with my 'no fuck is given' attitude.

The leader was clearly the best one of the bunch. He was a fast learner and was ready to do the plan according to the script.

"Young master Li, we will go through hell and back to do your bidding. Please worry not." He answered wholeheartedly.

'This dude is way too good at bullshitting. When did it become my bidding? You are clearly doing it to save your lives. *sigh* No matter let's just continue with the script…' I shook my head to get past the useless thoughts.

"Just do your part…" I told the lackeys.

Turning to Lai Xinyue AKA our treasure girl I spoke apologetically.

"Junior sister, I have to apologize for this time. Doing this plan would ensure that there is not a bigger plot in play…"

Although I do want to have some fun I'm not a member of the below 70 IQ club, I have something else in mind.

Impersonating someone from our Li family is not something that a simple outer disciple has the balls to do.

And even if they did it, it wouldn't be hidden for this long, so there has to be someone doing damage control here to silent the ones who show defiance.

This is only my theory but from my past life experiences, I am almost certain about what and how of this.

The only reason for me doing this is to find the 'who' in this equation.

"You don't have to take it to mind Senior brother, this is but a small price to pay to be able to spar with you." She answered my inquiry.

The corners of my mouth twitched.

'This girl is really the embodiment of using no filter while speaking. Can't she be a little tactful while answering?' I thought.

"Whatever works for you junior sister…" I didn't even try to find a good answer to this girl. I doubt if she even has the capability of understanding the meaning of courtesy or sarcasm.

I ignored her confused face and looked at all of them.

"Okay, start the play." I told them.

While they went closer to the door I finally got the chance to use the junk food in my storage ring to watch a good show.

——(POV third person)——

You could see a group of male outer court disciples surrounding a female disciple.

The group got to the door of the courtyard and knocked politely.

After a few seconds, the door opened showing the courtyard and a big guy who was blocking the path to the yard.

The big guy showed a big smile when seeing the one leading the group and spoke.

"Junior brother Xin, you seem to be successful this time around too…" the door guard told the one called 'Xin'.

"Senior brother Gu, stop wasting my time I have to deliver this package to young master as soon as possible." Brother Xin answered him playfully.

"HAHAHA, go on junior brother Xin, go on." He patted brother Xin's shoulders.

If not for the content of the conversation you could mistake this 'patting' to 'slapping the soul out of him' but brother Xin somehow was able to preserve his life.

You could see brother Xin smiling with pain.

He and his group walked inside and followed a path to someone sitting on a chair with two girls in his arms, one on each side.

Brother Xin immediately bowed and cupped his fists and the other followed after him. Everyone in the group saluted except the girl, Lai Xinyue.

"We have finished your assignment, young master Li." Brother Xin started explaining to the 'young master' who sat on his chair.

The young master Li was our MC's fake cousin and at least had silver hair to be passable as a part of the Li Family…

Li Heng was lazily eating grapes, as a classic third-rate womanizer would do in every fucking scene.

As he saw the defiance in Lai Xinyue's eyes instead of getting angry he was happy. Breaking this kind of face was one of the most satisfying things for him in the world.

After a minute of ogling Lai Xinyue's body, he looked at brother Xin and talked to him.

"You did a good job this time, you can get twice of the monthly resources for yourself." He didn't even put the others in his eyes and only awarded the leader.

Of course, the others were not happy but when they remembered this is all a play and they might die for screwing up, they didn't give a damn about whatever they would or would not get.

""Thank you, young master!"" They all answered Li Heng in unison.

This even shocked Li Heng who wanted to see who in this bunch would show his greed in his face.

After a few seconds, he didn't think about them and dismissed them and looked at Lai Xinyue.

"Junior sister, you will accompany this young master tonight. Count yourself blessed." Li Heng told Lai Xinyue and referred to himself in the third person to show that he is not new in playing the 'young master' role.

For this part, Li Huang didn't write a script for Lai Xinyue to follow. Why? Because she is not one to follow a script so she is going to improvise.

For the sake of controlling the flow of conversation, Li Huang told her about her supposed background in this play so that she could at least perform accordingly.

"Just because your surname is Li, you think that you don't have anyone to answer to under the heavens?" she told him righteously.

It would have been a good line if her face wasn't like a dead person, with no emotion. Li Huang has seen several artificial intelligences who had better facial expressions than this 'human'.

In answer to her question, Li Heng grinned.

"This is exactly because of my surname that I can do whatever that I want? Dissatisfied? Crawl back to your mother's womb, maybe she can find a better background for you… HAHAHA…" Li Heng answered her sarcastically.

Li Huang who was eating junk food on the other side nearly choked on his food.

'God damn that was a good one!' Li Huang thought to himself while taking a note from Li Heng's answer for future reference.

Unfortunately for Li Heng the one who he was against had no clue about sarcasm so she looked at him as if he was retarded.

"The fertilized egg is the result of conception and this clearly shows that nothing you do can change its parents, do you not even know this simple fact?" She asked as if she was in front of a child.

This time Li Huang and Li Heng had the same expression on their faces. Utter bewilderment.

'God damn, this girl is good!' Li Huang thought while collecting himself.

But this girl didn't give him and Li Heng time to recover. She kept on dropping the next bomb.

"That aside, how can I crawl back to my mother's womb in my current size? I don't know about your mother but I won't fit in mine." She added with her usual face that lacked emotion.

This time the reactions were different, Li Heng had his mouth wide open and Li Huang sprayed the water that he was drinking to clear his throat.

'This girl is better than I thought but she is shitting on my script with these roasts. I have to make a move fast…' thought Li Huang.

As the situation was getting out of Li Huang's hands, he got to work. He ran to the door.

On the other side as Li Heng was ready to beat Lai Xinyue for talking back you could see someone flying.

This 'someone' was the door guard, brother Gu.

Instead of flying, it is better to say that he was thrown.

As Li Heng tried to understand what was happening, brother Gu was crashed and embedded into the building.

But Li Huang didn't give them time to process what was happening, he shouted in the next moment.

"LI. HENG. DIE. FOR. ME."
