“Are you saying you’re really willing to stay in the Wang family…?”
His once dull eyes suddenly sparkled with life, and then overwhelming joy filled the slightly weathered side of his face. After waiting for so long, he finally received a satisfactory answer.
“I only said I’ll take over the Hidden Wang family, but whether to stay or not should still be my own decision!”
Although somewhat softened, Wang Wei had no intention of forgiving Wang Changfeng just yet. He simply didn’t want Ling’er to be upset or to let this man become utterly hopeless and do something he would 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? At this moment, he looked more like a father burdened with guilt toward his child. As long as Wang Wei was willing to take over the Hidden Wang family, he was ready to do anything for him.
“Master, I…”
Turning his head, Wang Wei looked at Xiao Yufan, hoping to hear the man’s advice. If the young master asked him to stay, he would definitely stay. If the young master asked him to leave, he wouldn’t remain even for a moment!
In Wang Wei’s heart, Xiao Yufan meant far more than the entire Hidden Wang family. As Wang Wei spoke, both Wang Changfeng and Ling’er immediately turned their gazes toward Xiao Yufan, causing him to involuntarily shake his head with a smile.
“You should decide this for yourself. Still, I 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 didn’t want to 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.
In a way, it could be seen as some form of compensation for Wang Wei, only hoping that the resentment in his heart could be completely resolved…
Xiao Yufan thought to himself. He wasn’t a selfish person and naturally couldn’t restrict Wang Wei’s freedom. Besides, the Dark Gate was already relatively stable now, with Xiao Dao, Qing Long, and Tian Yi holding down the fort. 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 the very least, the Hidden Wang family could become his backing force.
“Then for now, I’ll temporarily stay in the Wang family.”
After some time, Wang Wei finally made his decision—not only for the old man but also for his younger sister. His heart eventually wasn’t that cold…
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yufan met Wang Changfeng’s grateful gaze with a smile. Since the matter of the Hidden Wang family had already been resolved, the next thing to do was to wait calmly for the so-called Ancient Martial Arts Gathering.
They didn’t stay for 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 family’s own affairs. However, Xiao Yufan believed that he and Wang Wei would meet again soon.
“Grandpa Wu, how is the situation with the Heaven Alliance now? Without you there, wouldn’t the Heaven Alliance’s strength decline significantly?”
“Don’t you trust the strength of Old Master Situ? Although that Qianhuang Hall can also be called a Guardian Temple, its power isn’t much stronger than some hidden aristocratic families. Therefore, you don’t need to worry. Dealing with them won’t require much effort at all!”
Heavy Sword Wu Feng’s smile appeared very gentle, but never underestimate this kind and elderly man. If he were to unleash his fury, even a force as formidable as the Hidden Guo family might not withstand his wrath.
“Just don’t want to involve too many people, otherwise…”
A chilling killing intent flashed by momentarily. Although Xiao Yufan didn’t know exactly what grudge existed between the Heaven Alliance and the Qianhuang Hall, considering that the Guardian Temple wasn’t anything good, at least in his view, his grandfather could never be wrong.
“Then, Grandpa, what do you think about this Ancient Martial Arts Gathering? The Hidden Guo family isn’t easy to deal with. If they’ve allied with a more powerful hidden aristocratic family or Guardian Temple, it might be detrimental to the Heaven Alliance!”
Even Xiao Yufan felt a chill run down his back from that icy killing intent. It seemed that there must be a significant feud between the Qianhuang Hall and the Heaven Alliance. He truly couldn’t imagine how the Guardian Temple, as the guardian of China, 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 personally take revenge in the past, the Hidden Guo family would have been wiped out long ago!”
Heavy Sword Wu Feng only had contempt for the Hidden Guo family. The Heaven Alliance could easily eliminate them with a mere flick of their hand. Now they were just hopping around, but even if they kept jumping, 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 power isn’t that formidable. When the young master possesses sufficient strength, no one will be able to protect the Hidden Guo family!”
Looking at the glimmering light in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Wu Feng remained expressionless, although the young master’s progress had indeed surprised even him. For someone at the young master’s age to reach the cultivation stage of凝功之境 (a high level of attainment) was quite rare.
“There’s not much else to do next. Grandpa Wu, why don’t you go and meet up with Grandfather first? Although I can’t help much, I also don’t want to hold Grandfather back!”
Hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yufan slowly said. Although Heavy Sword Wu Feng made it sound easy, the Guardian Temple wasn’t a simple 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 this go. Guo Chen’s status in the Hidden Guo family is much higher than that of that useless Guo Junyu!”
“Without strong external pressure, how can one make progress? Moreover, with my current strength, even if that old dog from the Hidden Guo family comes again, I can still cripple him!”
Xiao Yufan said decisively. His intuition told him that 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 strongest fighters. No one could predict what might happen.
“If you insist on doing this, then I’ll follow the young master’s decision. Besides, it’s time to deal with those guys from the Qianhuang Hall!”
Looking toward 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 previously suffered must be repaid in full by those responsible.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yufan began contemplating the matter of the Hidden Guo family. If the Hidden Guo family didn’t provoke him, why would he leave them a way out? This time it was Guo Chen, but next time it would be the entire Hidden Guo family.
Although Xiao Yufan’s current strength had already entered the Neigong Stage (a high cultivation stage), he still had a long way to go before reaching the level of a true peak expert. Especially after learning that the Heaven Alliance still had many formidable enemies, he desired even more powerful strength. Only then would he be worthy of being the young master of the Heaven Alliance…
