Chapter 29: Family Law

Chapter 29: Family Law Master, Li Su has brought another descendant again. He has brought over a dozen in recent years, but the main issue is that their aptitude is not very good. If this continues, Im concerned that our Flying Immortal Sect will become a joke among the other two major sects. A mid-Foundation Establishment stage elder in the Flying Immortal Sect spoke to the sect leader. Over time, Li Sus descendants with aptitude were also growing up. As long as they turn 12, Li Su sent them to the Flying Immortal Sect. It started fine, but the number of descendants being sent increased over time. Some members of the Flying Immortal Sect began to have reservations about this disruption of the sects disciple recruitment rules. However, despite having some reservations, no one in the Flying Immortal Sect dared to exclude or mistreat Li Sus descendants. Li Su was well-liked and respected within the sect. With his strong power and gratitude to the sect leader, the head made an exception for Li Su in the past. In recent decades, Li Sus strength had been growing rapidly, and many people in the Flying Immortal Sect were now discussing whether he might reach the Golden Core stage in his lifetime. In the eyes of the disciples, Li Su should have sixty or seventy years of lifespan left. While the time seems sufficient for Li Su to break through to the Golden Core stage, many foundation-building cultivators fail to do so. No one wanted to offend a powerful cultivator who had the potential to reach the Golden Core stage. How many spiritual stones do his descendants need in a year? the sect leader asked. Currently, its 78 yuan, the mid-Foundation Establishment stage elder replied. Double the amount for them. I will cover the cost of these spiritual stones myself, and from now on, whenever he sends more, it will be the same, the sect leader stated. Ah? The elder in the later stage of the foundation establishment was taken aback. Similar scenes of pain and pleading played out among the others. However, the whipping continued without pause. Sitting in a high place, Li Su had a frosty expression on his face. This was the day the Li family enforced its strict rules and punishments. Although Li Su was a cultivator and usually didnt concern himself with worldly matters, he had set extremely strict rules for his family. These rules were even more severe than those of any other family. There were rewards and punishments. Li Su encouraged his descendants to have many children. Still, he had a strict requirement that marriages and concubines must be voluntary, and no one could be forced into a marriage using the Li familys influence. Those who resorted to coercion would face family law. Even the act of marrying and taking concubines required voluntary consent. If anyone used the Li familys power to force others, they would face family law. The Li familys law enforcement team was like the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Li Sus descendants, ensuring they lived honorable lives. This time, several dozen descendants had committed serious offenses. Li Su happened to witness their misdeeds and became furious. He immediately gathered all the clan members and invited many people from Luo City to witness the punishment. The public enforcement of family law was not a staged event. The Li familys family law had always been severe. When the sound of the whip cracked, even some of Li Sus descendants who had not committed any wrongdoing flinched. This served to establish Li Sus bottom line for all his descendants. No one dared to plead for mercy as Li Su coldly ordered, Put them in the dungeon for ten years. If I can still remember them after ten years, then well consider releasing them. Li Su left the scene, leaving his capable descendants in charge of the aftermath. After this incident, the Li familys values and conduct improved further.
