Long Batian watched Zhao Lu coldly, his eyes flashing with mockery.
"What? War God, shouldn't you apologize to our Zhao family? If you hadn't arrived at the Zhao family at the last moment, how would our Zhao family have become like this?"
Zhao Lu stared at Long Batian with red eyes, her heart filled with resentment.
"Lu'er, be quiet! War God has already explained, this matter was not his fault, it can only be blamed on Li Xiaotian's good luck."
Old Master Zhao frowned and reprimanded Zhao Lu, wondering why his granddaughter was so insensible. Who was Long Batian? The War God of the Great Qin War Department, it was already good enough for him to offer an explanation, and she still expected him to apologize? Moreover, his help was a good intention, and it was not wrong for him not to act.
"Why? If he hadn't come, would our Zhao family have become like this? Would I have become such a cripple?" Zhao Lu yelled, like a lunatic. The heads of the major aristocratic families present couldn't help but frown at the sight.
"Hmph! Who do you think you are? Whether to act last night is up to me, what is your Zhao family? You want me to apologize, your Zhao family is not worthy!"
Long Batian sneered, his gaze falling on Zhao Lu, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly.
"The Zhao family is not un-destructible!"
Upon hearing Long Batian's words, Old Master Zhao abruptly stood up, then slapped Zhao Lu.
"Slap!" With a sound, Zhao Lu's face immediately turned red.
"You dead girl, hurry up and apologize to War God! How dare you be so disrespectful, don't embarrass our Zhao family here!" Old Master Zhao reprimanded, staring intently at Zhao Lu, as if he would slap her again if her next words were not right.
Zhao Lu's face was pale, and she immediately came back to her senses, feeling a wave of fear. She had almost forgotten Long Batian's fierce reputation. That person had destroyed a family in the capital, and that family's strength was no weaker than their Zhao family.
Thinking about her performance just now, Zhao Lu's body couldn't help but tremble. She had actually demanded an apology from Long Batian? Wasn't that courting death?
"Bang!" Zhao Lu directly knelt on the ground, her head bowed low, and then said.
"War God, Zhao Lu admits her guilt, please forgive me, War God!"
"Hmph! I don't want to see you again," Long Batian said lightly.
"I'll get out of here now, I only beg War God not to resent the Zhao family because of this. I was just confused for a moment, I hope War God will forgive this humble woman," Zhao Lu said servilely, her face full of apprehension.
"Scram! I, Long Batian, am not that petty," Long Batian said. Zhao Lu quickly withdrew from the hall upon hearing this.
After the hall quieted down, everyone acted as if nothing had happened, and Old Master Zhao was expressionless.
"Young Brother Long, the night after tomorrow is your War God Banquet. At that time, we will all come to congratulate you. Li Xiaotian must be killed, but we cannot let this ant ruin your great cause."
Li Weihai smiled and broke the silence. After all, Long Batian was the newly appointed War God of the Great Qin Imperial War Department, with a boundless future, and was very worthy of friendship.
Long Batian smiled upon hearing this, then looked at everyone and said, "I hope everyone can come then. We can put aside Li Xiaotian's matter tomorrow, everyone rest assured, the troops I will mobilize from the War Department tomorrow will also arrive in the capital. After the War God Banquet is held, I will have them assist you in finding Li Xiaotian."
Everyone nodded upon hearing this, and they exchanged pleasantries. After all, the War God Banquet tomorrow was hosted by Li Shanhai, the First Commander of the Great Qin Imperial War Department. Only a few families were honored to be invited, and ordinary aristocratic families in the capital were not qualified to attend.
Old Master Zhao had a smile on his face, constantly praising Long Batian. He had been worried about getting an invitation to the War God Banquet before, but who would have thought that within a few days, he would see the protagonist of the War God Banquet.
Of course, if all this hadn't happened, and their Zhao family hadn't encountered Li Xiaotian, wouldn't that be better!
On Li Xiaotian's side, Li Xiaotian stayed with his wife and daughter, and at the same time, some people from the Dragon King Hall were also arriving in the capital intermittently.
However, this time Li Xiaotian had notified Li Shanhai, so the high-level officials of the Great Qin Empire were not very tense. But even so, the capital's defense had entered a level one alert.
That afternoon, Li Shanhai sent people to deliver the invitation to the War God Banquet. Li Xiaotian took the invitation and shook his head speechlessly.
This Li Shanhai was too polite. Was such a grand occasion necessary for just a dinner party?
In the room, Ye Qingmei heard about this matter and was full of curiosity.
"His Excellency Li, the First Commander of the War Department, actually sent you an invitation to the War God Banquet? Is it true?" Ye Qingmei looked skeptical. She knew that in her impression, Li Shanhai was a truly important figure, so why would he send an invitation to Li Xiaotian?
"Of course it's true. You don't know how amazing your husband is. Normally, Li Shanhai wouldn't be qualified to invite me to dinner," Li Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Tch, look at you showing off." Ye Qingmei rolled her eyes at Li Xiaotian, but still didn't believe what Li Xiaotian said.
Li Xiaotian couldn't be bothered to explain. Even if he did, his wife wouldn't believe him, because his current identity was too terrifying for ordinary people to imagine.
The conversation between the two fell into Fang Yuan's ears like earth-shattering news. Fang Yuan was filled with shock, but then Fang Yuan quickly came back to his senses, disbelieving Li Xiaotian's words.
She knew about the War God Banquet. The Zhao family had tried every means to get an invitation to the War God Banquet. Those who could attend this banquet could only be the top aristocratic families in the capital. With the Zhao family's strength, they were not qualified to attend.
If the Zhao family couldn't get an invitation, could Li Xiaotian get one? And it was personally sent by His Excellency Li Shanhai? Fang Yuan looked suspicious.
"Dad, what is the War God Banquet? Will there be War Gods there?" Tiantian asked curiously.
"Yes, it's a banquet to welcome someone. Many people will attend. Does Tiantian want to go?" Li Xiaotian asked.
"Are there good things to eat if we go?" Tiantian asked innocently.
"Of course! And there will be many fun things," Li Xiaotian said with a smile.
He was going to attend the War God Banquet, and if his wife and daughter were interested, he would take them.
At that time, influential figures from various aristocratic families in the capital would be present, and Li Xiaotian also had his own plans. Since he wanted to take revenge, he would do so openly.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed. During this day, Li Xiaotian spent it accompanying his wife and daughter.
The War God Banquet was about to begin, and everyone in the capital who received an invitation was looking forward to it. Attending this banquet meant one's identity and status.
Moreover, for some families, attending this banquet was not only an opportunity to meet War God Long Batian, but also to meet some high-level officials of the War Department and Li Shanhai. It was a rare opportunity.
