Chapter 1056: The Rise And Fall Of Worldly Affairs (II)
"So it's you!"
Li Jiangxia had spent little time within the family over the years and had no idea who this Hun or anyone else might be. He urged his horse forward, but the two guards did not yield, their cold iron spears barring the way.
Li Hun, who was older than both of the guards, quickly called out, "Ah, the second young master is here too! This junior greets you."

Li Jianglong helped him to his feet and asked, "Family brother, what brings you to the island..."
Li Hun answered instinctively, "They said guests had come to the island. My father led them into the hall. Several elders also went in, to meet the family head. He..."
