Langya Wenqiu, like a wild horse released from its reins, rushed toward her parents. “Father, Mother, I've missed you so much!”
The couple, however, walked past their daughter and headed straight to Fang Chen, calling out to him with great enthusiasm, “Lord Fang, you must be tired from the journey. Thank you for your hard work.”
“I am Langya Wenxia. I’ve heard from my third sister that you have taken great care of her. I am deeply grateful!” said the young man, courteously addressing Fang Chen.
He bowed, showing respect.
Langya Wenqiu looked bewildered. “Father, Mother!? Second Brother?”
Grandma Li watched the scene with a faint smile. She whispered to Langya Wenqiu, “It seems that the head of the family and his wife are quite pleased with Mr. Fang.”
Langya Wenqiu couldn’t be more puzzled. “Pleased? What do you mean?”
Grandma Li smiled but did not elaborate.
Fang Chen returned a bow. “Uncle and Aunt, you’re too kind….”
When had the Wei Clan managed to forge a connection with the Nine Generations King’s Manor?
“So, I advise you to settle down during the negotiation. If you offer enough compensation to the Qin family, the Langya Clan might avoid any major issues.”
Wei Yuan’s words carried a hint of mockery. “Otherwise, even if the Void Immortal Sword Sect intervenes, you might not gain any favor.”
With that, Wei Yuan and his group swaggered off.
Langya Da Zhao’s expression grew grave, losing the earlier relaxed demeanor. “The Nine Generations King’s Manor….”
“Dear, what he said might be false….”
“No, he wouldn’t dare to fabricate something . If he didn’t have accurate information, he wouldn’t be so brazen about it.”
The tension from the confrontation and the implication of a larger force involved left everyone in a state of unease.
Langya Da Zhao’s expression darkened as he spoke. “He’s trying to pressure us, making the Void Immortal Sword Sect consider whether it’s worth involving themselves in this matter. After all, offending the Nine Generations King’s Manor over such a trivial issue isn’t worth it.”
He paused, then continued with frustration, “I don’t understand why the Wei Clan, with such connections, would still listen to the Qin Family’s orders. They’re even dragging in the Nine Generations King’s Manor to suppress us.”
“It’s because their connections are with the Qin Family, or more precisely, with the Azure Dao Manor’s Prefect,” Fang Chen said.
He suspected that Wei Yuan’s son’s opportunity to become a personal attendant to the Ninth Prince was likely tied to the influence of the Azure Dao Manor Prefect. This connection to a powerful force was a strategic move to ensure that the Wei Clan’s interests aligned with the Qin Clan, especially given the negotiation still had several days to go.
Fang Chen’s divine soul departed and loomed over Wei Yuan’s group.
“Why deliberately provoke Langya Da Zhao?” Wei Yuan’s son, Wei Haisheng, asked.
“To let him know that you’ll soon be appointed to the Nine Generations King’s Manor,” Wei Yuan replied calmly. “This will give the Void Immortal Sword Sect an idea of our stance. Since the negotiations are still a few days away, it’s better to be prepared.”
Wei Haisheng’s eyes lit up with understanding. “So it was merely a test.”
Fang Chen smiled. So that’s indeed the case.
As an Enlightenment Realm cultivator, Wei Yuan wasn’t acting out of mere provocation. Such actions were likely part of a larger strategy to gauge the reactions and preparations of those involved.
As soon as his divine soul returned, Langya Da Zhao stopped contemplating and invited him and Langya Wenqiu to meet the ancestors of the Langya Clan.
“Brother Fang, it should be fine. A few more senior brothers and sisters are also on their way. The Ninth Prince's Manor shouldn’t Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
Seeing her concern for him, Fang Chen smiled and shook his head. “Yes, I also believe there won’t be any issues.”
No one knew that Killing Spiritual Division was making a move. Not the Immortal Qin clan, the Langya clan, or even the Azure Dao Prefect. Hell, not even the Ninth Prince or the Spirit Blood Sect were aware.
Considering Killing Spiritual Division’s capabilities, if they claimed they could stop the war, then they were at least 80% sure. After all, they are backed by a revered First Rate Sect Leader
