Chapter 1218: The Silver Moon Conspiracy (IV)
“How old was Li Daoheng when he did that?” Li Hao took in a sharp breath.
“Seven or eight.”
“......” Li Hao clucked his tongue with amazement. “That’s... some skill! First, he beat you guys up in private, then he beat you guys up in public, and after that your parents beat you guys twice. So you suffered four times but couldn’t do anything about it...”

Li Daozong looked around sheepishly. That was right. That was why he hadn’t stayed at Sword City upon becoming an Apex. It was too stifling being in close quarters with that person. Li Daozong had been an example of what not to do since young, whereas his brother was the most shining example of perfection that he should live up to.
