Chapter 607: The Clown’s Antics

“Are you saying you’re actually willing to stay in the Wang family…”

His once dull eyes suddenly sparkled with life, and then overwhelming joy filled his slightly weathered face. After waiting for so long, he finally received a satisfactory reply.

“I only said I would take over the Hidden Wang family, but whether I stay or not should be my own decision, right?”

Although somewhat softened, Wang Wei had no intention of forgiving Wang Changfeng just like that. He simply didn’t want Ling’er to be upset or to push this man into despair, making him do something he’d regret for the rest of his life.

“Yes, yes, yes, you should make your own decisions!”

Wang Changfeng completely lost his temper. Where was the authority he usually displayed? Right now, he looked more like a remorseful father, willing to do anything as long as Wang Wei was willing to take over the entire Hidden Wang family.

“Master, I…”

Turning his head, Wang Wei looked at Xiao Yufan, hoping to hear this man’s advice. If the young master asked him to stay, he definitely would. If the young master told him to leave, he wouldn’t stay even for a moment!

In Wang Wei’s heart, Xiao Yufan meant more than the entire Hidden Wang family. As Wang Wei spoke, both Wang Changfeng and Ling’er immediately turned their gazes to Xiao Yufan, making him involuntarily shake his head with a smile.

“You should decide this for yourself. However, I still hope you can stay in the Wang family. The Hidden Wang family needs you, and your family needs you even more!”

At this moment, Xiao Yufan naturally wouldn’t provoke anyone’s anger. Besides, he had already promised the head of the Wang family to try his best to persuade Wang Wei to take over the Hidden Wang family, and this might not be a bad thing for Wang Wei either.

This way, it could be considered some compensation for Wang Wei. He just hoped that the hatred in Wang Wei’s heart could be completely resolved…

Xiao Yufan thought to himself. He wasn’t a selfish person and naturally wouldn’t restrict Wang Wei’s freedom. Moreover, the Dark Gate was already relatively stable now, with Xiao Dao, Qing Long, and Tian Yi guarding it, so there shouldn’t be any accidents.

If Wang Wei became the head of the Hidden Wang family, it would also be a good thing for him, at least making the Hidden Wang family a force behind him.

“Then, I’ll temporarily stay in the Wang family!”

After a while, Wang Wei finally made up his mind—not only for the old man but also for his younger sister. In the end, his heart wasn’t that cold…

He simply nodded. Facing Wang Changfeng’s grateful gaze, Xiao Yufan responded with a smile. Since the matter of the Hidden Wang family had already been resolved, next he could calmly wait for this so-called Ancient Martial Arts Conference.

Without staying too long, after saying goodbye to Wang Wei, Xiao Yufan, Qing Long, and Heavy Sword Wu Feng chose to leave. After all, what came next was the Wang family’s private matter. However, Xiao Yufan believed he and Wang Wei would meet again soon.

“Grandpa Wu, how is the situation in the Heaven Alliance now? Without you there, wouldn’t the Heaven Alliance’s strength decline significantly?”

“Don’t you trust the power of Old Master Situ? Although that Thousand Wastes Hall can also be called a Guardian Temple, its strength isn’t much stronger than some hidden aristocratic families, so you don’t need to worry. Eliminating them doesn’t require much effort!”

The smile on Heavy Sword Wu Feng’s face was very warm. However, never underestimate this kind and gentle old man. If he ever flew into a rage, even a powerful existence like the Hidden Guo family might not withstand his fury.

“I just don’t want to involve too many people. Otherwise…”

A chilling killing intent flashed by. Although Xiao Yufan didn’t know exactly what feud existed between the Heaven Alliance and the Thousand Wastes Hall, thinking about it, the Guardian Temple wasn’t anything good. At least in his eyes, his grandfather could never be wrong.

“Then, Grandpa, what do you think about this Ancient Martial Arts Conference? The Hidden Guo family is definitely not an easy opponent. If they’ve allied with a more powerful hidden aristocratic family or the Guardian Temple, it might be detrimental to the Heaven Alliance!”

Even Xiao Yufan felt a chill down his back from that icy killing intent. It seemed the Heaven Alliance and the Thousand Wastes Hall must have a significant grudge. He couldn’t imagine how the Guardian Temple, as the guardian of the Chinese people, could come into conflict with the Heaven Alliance.

“The Hidden Guo family is nothing but a jester. If it weren’t for wanting the young master to take revenge personally, the Hidden Guo family would have been wiped out long ago!”

Heavy Sword Wu Feng only felt contempt for the Hidden Guo family. The Heaven Alliance could easily eliminate such a jester who was now jumping around joyfully, but no matter how much they jumped, they couldn’t escape the Heaven Alliance’s palm.

“I know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry. Even if the Hidden Guo family has any schemes, their strength isn’t much. When the young master becomes strong enough, no one will be able to protect the Hidden Guo family!”

“Are you saying you’re really willing to stay with the Wang family…”

The lifeless eyes suddenly gained a spark of vitality, and then, a look of ecstasy filled the slightly weathered profile. After waiting for so long, he finally received a response that satisfied him.

“I only said I would take over the Hidden Wang family, but whether I stay or not is still up to me!”

Though somewhat softened, Wang Wei had no intention of forgiving Wang Changfeng just yet. He simply didn’t want to hurt Ling’er or let this man lose all hope, potentially doing something he would regret for the rest of his life.

“Yes, yes, yes, it’s your decision to make!”

Wang Changfeng had completely lost his usual authoritative demeanor. Now, he resembled more of a father filled with guilt toward his child. As long as Wang Wei would take over the Hidden Wang family, he was willing to do anything.

“Young Master, I…”

Turning his head, Wang Wei glanced at Xiao Yufan, hoping to hear this man’s advice. If the Young Master told him to stay, he would definitely stay. If the Young Master told him to leave, he wouldn’t linger for a moment!

In Wang Wei’s heart, Xiao Yufan held more importance than the entire Hidden Wang family. Just as Wang Wei spoke, Wang Changfeng and Ling’er’s eyes instantly shifted toward Xiao Yufan, who couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

“This is your decision to make. However, I still hope you can stay with the Wang family. The Hidden Wang family needs you, and your family needs you even more.”

At this moment, Xiao Yufan naturally wouldn’t go against the crowd’s wishes. Besides, he had already promised the Wang family patriarch to try to persuade Wang Wei to take over the Hidden Wang family. Moreover, this might not be a bad thing for Wang Wei.

This could also serve as some form of compensation for Wang Wei. He just hoped that the resentment in Wang Wei’s heart could be completely resolved…

Xiao Yufan thought to himself. He wasn’t a selfish person and naturally wouldn’t restrict Wang Wei’s freedom. Besides, the Dark Sect was now relatively stable, with Xiao Dao, Qinglong, and Tianyi holding the fort. There shouldn’t be any unexpected incidents.

If Wang Wei were to take the position of the Hidden Wang family’s patriarch, it would be a good thing for him. At the very least, the Hidden Wang family could become a force behind him.

“Then, I’ll stay with the Wang family for now.”

After some time, Wang Wei finally made up his mind. It wasn’t just for the old man, but also for his sister. His heart, after all, wasn’t that hard…

Xiao Yufan simply nodded in response to Wang Changfeng’s grateful gaze. Since the matter of the Hidden Wang family had been resolved, the next step was to calmly await the so-called Ancient Martial Arts Conference.

They didn’t stay for too long. After bidding farewell to Wang Wei, Xiao Yufan, Qinglong, and the heavy-sword-wielding Wu Feng chose to leave. After all, what followed was their family matter. However, Xiao Yufan believed that he and Wang Wei would meet again soon.

“Grandpa Wu, how is the situation with the Heavenly Alliance now? Without you there, wouldn’t the Heavenly Alliance’s strength decrease significantly?”

“Do you doubt Elder Situ’s strength? Although that Qianhuang Palace can also be called a Guardian Temple, its strength isn’t much greater than some hidden families. So, you don’t need to worry. Dealing with them won’t require too much effort!”

The heavy-sword-wielding Wu Feng’s smile was warm, but one should never underestimate this kind old man. If he were to lose his temper, even a family like the Hidden Guo family might not withstand his wrath.

“I just don’t want to involve too many people, otherwise…”

A fleeting murderous intent passed through Xiao Yufan’s eyes. Although he didn’t know what grievances existed between the Heavenly Alliance and the so-called Qianhuang Palace, he believed that the Guardian Temple wasn’t a good entity. At least in his view, his grandfather couldn’t be wrong.

“What does Grandpa think about this Ancient Martial Arts Conference? The Hidden Guo family is no pushover. If they ally with a stronger hidden family or a Guardian Temple, it might spell trouble for the Heavenly Alliance.”

Amidst the cold murderous intent, even Xiao Yufan felt a chill run down his back. It seemed there was significant animosity between the Qianhuang Palace and the Heavenly Alliance. He couldn’t understand how a Guardian Temple of China could have conflicts with the Heavenly Alliance.

“The Hidden Guo family is nothing but a clown. If it weren’t for the fact that we wanted the Young Master to seek revenge personally, the Hidden Guo family would have been wiped out long ago!”

Regarding the Hidden Guo family, the heavy-sword-wielding Wu Feng only felt disdain. A clown that the Heavenly Alliance could obliterate with a flick of the wrist was now making a lot of noise. However, no matter how much they jumped around, they couldn’t escape the Heavenly Alliance’s grasp.

“I know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry, even if the Hidden Guo family has some scheme, their strength is still limited. Once the Young Master has enough power, no one can protect the Hidden Guo family.”

Seeing the glint in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Wu Feng didn’t show much expression. However, the Young Master’s progress even shocked him. Reaching the Condensing Power Realm at such a young age was quite rare.

“There’s not much to do next. Grandpa Wu, you should go and meet up with Grandpa. Although I can’t be of much help, I don’t want to hold Grandpa back.”

After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yufan spoke slowly. Although the heavy-sword-wielding Wu Feng made it sound easy, the Guardian Temple wasn’t a pushover. It was better to be cautious.

“Are you sure? This time, you crippled Guo Chen. The Hidden Guo family will definitely not let this go. Guo Chen’s status in the Hidden Guo family is a notch above that waste Guo Junyu!”

“Without strong external pressure, how can I improve? Besides, with my current strength, even if that old dog from the Hidden Guo family comes again, I can still cripple him!”

Xiao Yufan spoke resolutely. His intuition told him that the Guardian Temple wasn’t an easy opponent. If the heavy-sword-wielding Wu Feng continued to protect him, the Heavenly Alliance would be missing one of its top fighters. Who knows what might happen.

“Since you insist on this, I’ll follow the Young Master’s wishes. Besides, it’s about time we dealt with those guys from the Qianhuang Palace.”

Looking toward the northwest, the heavy-sword-wielding Wu Feng’s eyes turned sharp. Since the Heavenly Alliance had reappeared in everyone’s sight, it was time to make those who had humiliated the Heavenly Alliance pay back every bit of it.

Nodding, Xiao Yufan began to ponder the matter of the Hidden Guo family. The Hidden Guo family wouldn’t let him off, and he had no intention of leaving them any way out. This time, it was Guo Chen. Next time, it would be the entire Hidden Guo family.

Although Xiao Yufan’s strength had now reached the Condensing Power Realm, he still had a long way to go before becoming a true peak expert. Especially knowing that the Heavenly Alliance had many formidable enemies, he desired even greater strength. Only then would he be worthy of being the Young Master of the Heavenly Alliance…

“There’s not much else to do now. Grandpa Wu, why don’t you go and reunite with Grandpa first? Although I can’t help much, I also don’t want to be a burden to Grandpa!”

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yufan slowly said. Although Heavy Sword Wu Feng made it sound easy, the Guardian Temple wasn’t an easy opponent either, so it was better to be cautious.

“Are you sure? This time you crippled Guo Chen, and the Hidden Guo family definitely won’t let it go. Guo Chen’s status in the Hidden Guo family is much higher than that useless Guo Junyu!”

“Without strong external pressure, how can one progress? Besides, with my current strength, even if that old dog from the Hidden Guo family comes again, I can still cripple him!”

Xiao Yufan said firmly. His intuition told him the Guardian Temple wouldn’t be easy to deal with. If Heavy Sword Wu Feng kept protecting him, the Heaven Alliance would lose one of its top fighters. Who knew what might happen?

“If you insist on this, I’ll follow the young master’s decision. Besides, it’s time to deal with those guys from the Thousand Wastes Hall!”

Looking towards the northwest, Heavy Sword Wu Feng’s eyes turned sharp. Now that the Heaven Alliance had reappeared in everyone’s sight, the humiliation it had suffered before must be repaid in full by those responsible.

Nodding his head, Xiao Yufan began contemplating the matter of the Hidden Guo family. Since the Hidden Guo family had wronged him, why would he leave them a way out? This time it was Guo Chen, next time it would be the entire Hidden Guo family.

“You mean, you’re really willing to stay with the Wang family…”

The dull eyes suddenly flickered with a spark of life, and then, a look of ecstasy filled the slightly weathered profile. After waiting for so long, he finally received a response that satisfied him.

“I only said I would take over the Hidden Wang family, but whether I stay or not is still up to me!”

Though somewhat softened, Wang Wei had no intention of forgiving Wang Changfeng just yet. He simply didn’t want to hurt Ling’er or let this man lose all hope, potentially doing something he would regret for the rest of his life.

“Yes, yes, yes, it’s your decision to make!”

Wang Changfeng had completely lost his usual authoritative demeanor. Now, he resembled more of a father who felt guilty toward his child. As long as Wang Wei agreed to take over the Hidden Wang family, he was willing to do anything.

“Young Master, I…”

Turning his head, Wang Wei glanced at Xiao Yufan, hoping to hear this man’s advice. If the Young Master told him to stay, he would stay without hesitation. If the Young Master told him to leave, he wouldn’t linger for a moment.

In Wang Wei’s heart, Xiao Yufan held more weight than the entire Hidden Wang family. As Wang Wei spoke, both Wang Changfeng and Ling’er’s gazes shifted toward Xiao Yufan, who couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

“This is your decision to make. However, I still hope you can stay with the Wang family. The Hidden Wang family needs you, and your family needs you even more.”

At this moment, Xiao Yufan naturally wouldn’t go against the collective sentiment. Besides, he had already promised the Wang family patriarch to persuade Wang Wei to take over the Hidden Wang family. Moreover, this might not be a bad thing for Wang Wei.

This could be seen as some form of compensation for Wang Wei, though it was hoped that the resentment in his heart could be completely resolved…

Xiao Yufan thought to himself. He wasn’t a selfish person and naturally wouldn’t restrict Wang Wei’s freedom. Besides, the Dark Gate was now relatively stable, with Xiao Dao, Qinglong, and Tianyi in charge. There shouldn’t be any unexpected incidents.

If Wang Wei were to take the position of the Hidden Wang family patriarch, it would be a good thing for him. At the very least, the Hidden Wang family could become a force behind him.

“Then, I’ll stay with the Wang family for now.”

After some time, Wang Wei finally made up his mind. It wasn’t just for the old man, but also for his sister. His heart, after all, wasn’t that hardened…

Xiao Yufan simply nodded, responding to Wang Changfeng’s grateful gaze with a smile. Now that the matter of the Hidden Wang family was resolved, the next step was to patiently wait for the so-called Ancient Martial Arts Conference.

They didn’t stay for too long. After bidding farewell to Wang Wei, Xiao Yufan, Qinglong, and the heavy sword-wielding Wu Feng chose to leave. After all, what followed was a family matter. However, Xiao Yufan believed that he and Wang Wei would meet again soon.

“Grandpa Wu, how is the Heavenly Alliance doing now? Without you there, wouldn’t their strength diminish significantly?”

“Don’t you trust Old Master Situ’s capabilities? Although that Qianhuang Palace can also be called a Guardian Temple, their strength isn’t much greater than some hidden families. So, don’t worry. Dealing with them won’t require too much effort.”

Wu Feng’s smile was warm, but one should never underestimate this kind old man. If he were to lose his temper, even a hidden family like the Guo family might not withstand his wrath.

“I just don’t want to involve too many people, otherwise…”

A fleeting murderous intent passed through Xiao Yufan’s eyes. Although he didn’t know the exact grievances between the Heavenly Alliance and the so-called Qianhuang Palace, he believed that the Guardian Temples were no good. At least in his view, his grandfather couldn’t be wrong.

“What does Grandpa think about this Ancient Martial Arts Conference? The Hidden Guo family is no pushover. If they ally with a stronger hidden family or a Guardian Temple, it might spell trouble for the Heavenly Alliance.”

The cold killing intent even sent a chill down Xiao Yufan’s spine. It seemed there was a deep-seated grudge between the Qianhuang Palace and the Heavenly Alliance. He couldn’t understand how a Guardian Temple of China could come into conflict with the Heavenly Alliance.

“The Hidden Guo family is nothing but a clown. If it weren’t for the Young Master wanting to take revenge personally, the Hidden Guo family would have been wiped out long ago.”

Wu Feng had nothing but disdain for the Hidden Guo family. A mere clown that the Heavenly Alliance could crush with a flip of the hand, yet now they were making a lot of noise. But no matter how much they jumped around, they couldn’t escape the Heavenly Alliance’s grasp.

“I know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry, even if the Hidden Guo family has some scheme, their strength is limited. Once the Young Master gains enough power, no one can protect the Hidden Guo family.”

Seeing the glint in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Wu Feng remained expressionless. However, the Young Master’s progress had even shocked him. Reaching the Ninggong realm at such a young age was quite rare.

“There’s not much to do next. Grandpa Wu, you should go and meet up with Grandpa first. Although I can’t be of much help, I don’t want to hold Grandpa back.”

After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yufan finally spoke. Although Wu Feng made it sound easy, the Guardian Temples were no pushovers, so it was better to be cautious.

“Are you sure? This time, you crippled Guo Chen. The Hidden Guo family won’t let this slide. Guo Chen’s status in the Hidden Guo family is a notch above that waste Guo Junyu.”

“Without external pressure, how can one improve? Besides, with my current strength, even if that old dog from the Hidden Guo family comes again, I can cripple him.”

Xiao Yufan spoke with determination. His intuition told him that the Guardian Temples weren’t easy to deal with. If Wu Feng continued to protect him, the Heavenly Alliance would be down one of its top fighters. Who knows what could happen?

“Since you insist on this, I’ll follow the Young Master’s wishes. Besides, it’s about time we dealt with those Qianhuang Palace guys.”

Wu Feng’s gaze turned sharp as he looked toward the northwest. Now that the Heavenly Alliance had reappeared in everyone’s sight, it was time to make those who had humiliated the Heavenly Alliance pay back every bit of it.

Nodding, Xiao Yufan began to ponder the matter of the Hidden Guo family. The Hidden Guo family wouldn’t let him off, and he had no intention of leaving them any way out. This time it was Guo Chen, next time it would be the entire Hidden Guo family.

Although Xiao Yufan had now stepped into the Ninggong realm, there was still a long way to go before he reached the true pinnacle of power. Especially knowing that the Heavenly Alliance had many formidable enemies, he desired even greater strength. Only then would he be worthy of being the Young Master of the Heavenly Alliance…
