Chapter 319: Chapter 60 Behind the Scenes! Operating Changning (7000 Big Chapter)_3

Wang Liyao, having great respect for her father, apologized sincerely despite the resentment in her heart.

Then, Wang Shouzhe also apologized to Wang Yangjie, saying: “Teacher, I apologize on behalf of my daughter.”

His attitude was sincere.

Wang Yangjie was flustered and hurriedly returned the gesture, “Master Shouzhe, I too was impulsive, with no intention to trouble Miss Liyao specifically.”

The current Wang Shouzhe was not the young boy he once taught.

Now, Wang Shouzhe controlled Ping’an Town, capable of directing the fate of thousands with a single command. How could he accept this apology?

“Despite, there is some truth in what the child said.” Wang Shouzhe solemnly said, “The Wang family’s position today is due to many women’s significant contributions. Whether it’s Madame Gongsun Hui or Old Ancestor Longyan, both are exceptional among women. I hope, Teacher, you can adhere to the principle of ‘impartiality’.”

“Yes, Family Head.”

For some reason, a chill crept into Wang Yangjie’s heart, and he hastily gave his solemn promise.

“Yao Yao, are you satisfied with this arrangement?” Wang Shouzhe asked seriously.

“I am satisfied. As long as the teacher can exercise impartiality, I am willing to respect him.” Wang Liyao also nodded seriously.

“Since that’s settled, those who should be punished must be punished.” Wang Shouzhe said with a stern face, “It’s been said ‘a father’s fault if his daughter goes uneducated’. It is my negligence that has made you too unrestrained and capricious. This time, both you, An’an and I will be punished.”

“Yes, father.” Wang Liyao, realizing her error, sincerely accepted the punishment.

But Wang Zong’an was left dumbfounded.

Dragged into this again.

It’s challenging being the Young Clan Leader!

…

Changning Xu Family.

As an old Grade Eight Prominent Family with a history of three hundred years, Changning Xu Family held more profound power than what it outwardly showed.

In the deepest part of its main residence, there was an ancient hall called the “Zang Ling Palace”, where the Xu family paid tribute to their ancestors.

But this was more than just a memorial hall.

It held a treasure, the foundation of the Changning Xu Family’s power and foothold, the “Town Dragon Monument”.

With the formation in the Zang Ling Palace, it could unleash devastating power even capable of suppressing a Tianren Realm Cultivator or grind them to death.

Unfortunately, the “Town Dragon Monument” had significant flaws.

One, It’s immovable and must be used in conjunction with the grand formation.

Two, It already had faint cracks on the surface, indicating that it couldn’t be used many more times.

This is also reasonable; otherwise, how can the Changning Xu Family stand in Changning?

It is through relying on this potent weapon, the “Town Dragon Monument”, that they command respect from everyone else.

At this moment.

Under the Town Dragon Monument, an old man in a grey robe was seated cross-legged.

His hair was white, and his skin had lost its youthful gloss. His forehead was creased with many wrinkles, clearly showing signs of age.

However, his aura was profoundly concealed, veiling his true depth.

In front of him stood a middle-aged man in a brocade robe — the head of the Xu family, Xu Anbang.

“Old Ancestor, this is exactly what happened.” Xu Anbang said respectfully, “According to my analysis, the Wang family’s move might seem to help us, but there’s an ulterior motive. They probably want us, the Changning Xu Family, in the frontlines to entangle directly with the Huangfu Clan and attract all its firepower.”

Upon hearing this, the respected elder slowly opened his eyes, his expression unreadable, “Anbang, you mean to say…”

Xu Anbang said solemnly: “If we refuse the Ping’an Wang family, we’ll forever live under the Huangfu Clan’s influence, with our lives hanging by their thread. But if we join forces with the Wang family, there’ll be no turning back from the irreparable breach with the Huangfu Clan. The matter is of great significance, and I dare not make the decision. I implore you, Old Ancestor, for guidance.”

The old man in the grey robe showed a hint of turbulence in his gaze as he looked at Xu Anbang: “From the moment you entered, I could feel it. Since you already have a thought, why not share it?”

Xu Anbang took a deep breath: “From my observation, Wang Shouzhe of the Ping’an Wang family is not a simple man. His goals, this time around, are probably grand.”

He recounted the anomalies he noticed during his last encounter with the Direct Disciple of the Xue Palace, as well as his observations and understandings of Wang Shouzhe.

“Wang Shouzhe is a cautious man who never acts without assurance. His current actions against the Huangfu Clan must also be after thorough consideration. Perhaps he has already devised an entire plan to deal with the Huangfu Clan.”

“Interesting, Interesting~”

A smile crossed the elder’s aged face.

Back then, Wang family’s Old Ancestor, Zhou Xuan, was also a remarkable figure.

It’s astonishing that, merely decades after Zhou Xuan’s demise, another remarkable figure has risen from the Ping’an Wang family.

“In that case, let’s go along with that young man from the Wang family and indulge in recklessness once.”

The elder in the grey robe made the final call.

Upon hearing this, Xu Anbang’s eyes lit up with a fervent glow, “This is also my thought. Our Changning Xu Family has been suppressed for a long time, it’s time to let the Huangfu Clan see that we’re not to be trifled with!”
