The middle-aged man’s name was Wang Jie, and he was Murong Jing’s most trusted subordinate, serving as the role of military advisor.
Upon hearing Wang Jie’s words, Murong Jing instantly flew into a rage, "Long Sanlin, a son-in-law who joined the family by marriage, dares to covet the position of Family Head?"
Wang Jie pushed up his glasses, his expression grave as he spoke: "Third Master, Long Sanlin wouldn’t be foolish enough to contest for the position of Family Head himself, but he will support his wife, Murong Qin, in her bid for it."
"Even if he doesn’t support Murong Qin, he would support his son. Don’t forget, even though he joined the family by marriage, his son still bears the Murong surname."
"If you wish to firmly secure the position of Family Head, Third Master, you must find a way to deal with Long Sanlin. To deal with Long Sanlin, you can only look for a strong enough force to suppress him, like Yu Lin, for example."
Murong Jing also gradually calmed down, his face etched with an unprecedented seriousness. He thought that after Murong Fu’s death, he could easily succeed as Family Head, but he hadn’t expected Long Sanlin to become such a big trouble.
"When Father was still alive, aside from him, Yu Lin didn’t give face to anyone. Now that Father is gone, he is even less likely to stay and help me."
Murong Jing said in a deep voice, "I can only try to win the support of other top martial artists."
Suddenly, Wang Jie said, "Third Master, it’s not entirely hopeless to get Yu Lin to help you."
"Oh?"
Murong Jing immediately lit up, eagerly asking, "Do you have a way?"
A wise light filled Wang Jie’s eyes as he pushed up his glasses and said, "When the Family Head was alive, the one he loved the most was Murong Mingyue, and the one he worried about the most was also Murong Mingyue."
"If I were the Family Head, I would surely ask Yu Lin to help Murong Mingyue claim everything that rightfully belongs to her before dying."
"Which means, even if Yu Lin completely breaks away from the Murong Family, he will at least wait until Murong Mingyue has acquired what belongs to her."
"In that case, Third Master, why don’t you start with Murong Mingyue, convince her to help you win the position of Family Head?"
"If Murong Mingyue is willing to stand by your side, it’s as if Yu Lin is standing there with you. By then, Long Sanlin won’t be a problem anymore."
Murong Jing’s eyes shone brightly, and he burst into hearty laughter, patting Wang Jie heavily on the shoulder as he said with a smile, "Wang Jie, I wasn’t wrong about you! Once I’ve firmly taken the position of Family Head, you will be the great steward of the Murong Family!"
Wang Jie quickly bowed deeply, saying excitedly, "Then I shall thank you in advance, Third Master!"
Yandu, International Airport.
A private jet bearing the Murong Family’s insignia slowly landed.
Inside the private jet, Feng Qiu carefully approached Qin Chuan, whispering, "Mr. Qin, we’ve arrived in Yandu."
Qin Chuan slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of stale air.
Feng Qiu was inwardly astonished; Qin Chuan had been cultivating since the moment he boarded the plane.
No wonder Qin Chuan had managed to reach such heights at his young age, not only was his Martial Path talent exceptional, but he was also extremely diligent.
Those with talent and diligence are the most terrifying.
Anxiety spread across Murong Mingyue’s face; she knew she was about to face a major upheaval within the Murong Family.
Her gaze couldn’t help but fall on Qin Chuan, and she thought to herself what a blessing it would be if Qin Chuan would accompany her to the Murong Family.
Suddenly, she felt very envious of Ye Qingwan; she had gone to great lengths to get Qin Chuan’s agreement to help treat her grandfather, and moreover, it had required her grandfather to personally go to Jiangcheng City to ask for Qin Chuan’s medical assistance.
Yet, for Ye Qingwan’s sake, Qin Chuan had taken the initiative to come to Yandu to help.
Stepping outside the airport, Murong Mingyue looked at Qin Chuan and asked, "Mr. Qin, shall I arrange accommodations for you first?"
Qin Chuan shook his head, "Unless something unexpected happens, I plan to return to Jiangcheng City today, so there’s no need for accommodations."
He didn’t want to stay in Yandu any longer than necessary before he had fully regained his strength.
Murong Mingyue felt a pang of unwillingness but then said, "How about this, Master Feng can return to the family clan first, and I’ll temporarily act as Mr. Qin’s guide."
Feng Qiu immediately replied, "Miss Murong’s consideration is thorough, with Miss Murong as the guide, Mr. Qin will have convenience wherever he goes."
After speaking, without waiting for Qin Chuan to refuse, he bowed his hands and said, "Mr. Qin, then I will take my leave first."
He was only too glad for Murong Mingyue to be with Qin Chuan and naturally wouldn’t want to be a third wheel.
However, just as Feng Qiu had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking towards several figures not far from him in surprise.
Murong Mingyue also saw those people and her complexion immediately turned pale, had the family already gotten wind of her arrival in Yandu?
"Mingyue, you’re back!"
Leading them was a man in his early thirties, his face adorned with a gentle smile.
Following behind the young man were two Energizing Skill Middle Stage Martialists.
Murong Mingyue looked at the young man with an awkward expression and said, "Murong Qingfeng, what are you doing here?"
Murong Qingfeng maintained his smile and said to Murong Mingyue, "Father sent me to escort you home."
"Hmph!"
Murong Mingyue scoffed, "Third Uncle really can’t wait, can he? The moment I get off the plane, he sends someone to pick me up?"
Murong Qingfeng said with a smile, "Father is just worried about you. Mingyue, let’s go!"
Murong Mingyue coldly replied, "I have matters to attend to for now, I won’t be going home yet!"
After that, she walked straight up to Qin Chuan and said, "Mr. Qin, let’s go!"
Qin Chuan didn’t refuse. He was new to Yandu, unfamiliar with the place, and having Murong Mingyue lead the way would indeed save him a lot of trouble.
As for Murong Qingfeng, Qin Chuan didn’t even bother to give him a glance from the beginning to the end.
"Stop right there!"
Seeing Murong Mingyue about to leave with a stranger, Murong Qingfeng’s friendly expression disappeared completely, and he looked coldly at Murong Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, come back home with me!"
"Murong Qingfeng, don’t go too far!"
Murong Mingyue was enraged and also somewhat anxious, fearing that Murong Qingfeng might offend Qin Chuan.
Murong Qingfeng ignored Murong Mingyue and stared icily at Qin Chuan, speaking coldly, "Since you’re Mingyue’s friend, why not come with me to the Murong family, so I can show you some hospitality!"
Qin Chuan furrowed his brows but still ignored Murong Qingfeng, turning to Murong Mingyue instead, "Since Miss Murong has matters to deal with, I won’t impose any further. Farewell!"
He didn’t want to cause trouble, nor did he want to get involved with the Murong Family.
After speaking, he turned to leave.
But he had only taken a few steps when he was blocked by the two Energizing Skill Middle Stage Martialists brought by Murong Qingfeng.
The expressions on Murong Mingyue and Feng Qiu’s faces changed drastically.
Murong Mingyue immediately scolded, "What are you doing? Make way!"
Yet, the two martial artists didn’t take Murong Mingyue seriously and continued to block Qin Chuan’s path.
Murong Mingyue anxiously looked at Murong Qingfeng and said, "Murong Qingfeng, make them move aside!"
