The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1119: Chapter 1119: Is It Worth It?

Wang Shi is in a coma, and now the head of the Ancient Martial the Wang Family is Wang Ping. But compared to this ancestor in the Late Stage Golden Elixir, Wang Ping has no decision-making power at all.

He waved his hand, saying the wedding date should be postponed by two months, and no one dared to question it!

But Wang Ping was not willing. He looked at Mr. Wang and said, ”Ancestor, this matter is too significant. Shouldn’t we... be more cautious?”

The father and son duo from the Zhou Family also turned their gaze to this centenarian ancestor, waiting for his response, their breathing becoming noticeably tighter.

Mr. Wang, however, was completely unconcerned. He sat up straight and said indifferently, ”Let her be. Two months will pass in the blink of an eye. If we don’t allow her wish, how could this marriage ever happen?”

Although Mr. Wang had been in seclusion for years and was unaware of many matters in the clan, he understood the temperament of this promising junior. She didn’t respond to either harsh or soft approaches, quite stubborn indeed.

Wang Ping was slightly taken aback, then let out a long sigh.

Indeed, if this girl isn’t allowed her way, the marriage simply won’t happen. Even if she were locked up until the wedding day, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause?

Clearly, she has passed the rebellious age, so why is she still so difficult to manage?

”Thank you, Ancestor,” Wang Sijing said respectfully.

The father and son duo from the Zhou Family looked somewhat displeased. Was such a decision made without discussing it with them at all? No matter what, shouldn’t this marriage also concern the Zhou Family?!

”What, does Zhenghao think this is inappropriate?” Mr. Wang asked in a seemingly questioning tone with his eyes half-closed.

Zhou Zhenghao, having weathered thirty years in the commercial sea of turmoil, naturally found this situation manageable. Although he was angry enough to want to knock out this old man’s teeth one by one, he still needed to maintain the demeanor of a superior.

With a loving smile befitting an elder on his face, he looked at Wang Sijing and said, ”I know what Sijing wants to do is related to the glory and disgrace of the whole the Wang Family. Putting aside matters of the heart is indeed justified.”

Since his father had expressed this opinion, Zhou Chenghang, despite being extremely displeased in his heart, couldn’t show it. He approached Wang Sijing, looked at her, and said, ”We are husband and wife, essentially one entity. Your matter is my matter. Since you wish for the wedding date to be postponed, we’ll do it your way. If there’s anything else you need, just speak up. If I, Zhou Chenghang, frown, I’m not a man!”

Regardless of the truth behind these words, they made Mr. Wang and Wang Ping glance over, thinking that young people should indeed have such a sense of responsibility.

Wang Sijing just gave a fake laugh without expressing any opinion. In her heart, she thoroughly despised this father and son duo. It would be a pity if they didn’t go into acting.

At noon, Zhou Chenghang and his father stayed at the Wang Family for lunch. After a meal full of false mutual compliments, it ended. After Wang Sijing saw the father and son out of the Wang Family ancestral residence, she was called to the hall by Mr. Wang.

Wang Sijing stood by the table, waiting to be questioned.

After leaving her hanging for a moment, Mr. Wang slowly asked, ”What you did today was very inappropriate.”

Thud~

With a bend of her knees, Wang Sijing knelt on the blue-brick-paved floor, with her head down, looking ready to accept the punishment.

”Stand up! Hold your head high! Chest out!” Mr. Wang roared with a gloomy face, ”Did I tell you to kneel?”

Wang Sijing knew the ancestor was truly angry now; he had been holding it in, and now it was all being vented out at once. She quickly did as he said, standing as straight as a pine tree.

”Your marriage to the Zhou family’s boy is just a political alliance, concerning the interests of both families. Although our Wang Family has a four-hundred-year-old tradition, the Zhou Family is not a small and humble house either. They also need to maintain face in front of others. Delaying the wedding date hurts their face; do you realize how much interest and bargaining power our Wang Family will lose?”

Mr. Wang asked in a steady voice, puzzled as to why his granddaughter, so brilliant and perceptive on the path of cultivation, could be so foolish in matters of human relations.

Wang Sijing’s eyes flashed with determination, ”After all, they’re just a commercial family. They can be dismissed with ease.”

Mr. Wang’s face added another layer of anger, and his brow seemed to gain another crease.

With a long sigh, Mr. Wang, feeling quite helpless, earnestly advised, ”Developing an unknown Zhou Family to such an extent in thirty years shows that the Zhou Family is far from simple... I understand that this marriage makes you feel aggrieved, but in the future, it will be your in-laws, and also an ally of our Wang Family. Don’t act so recklessly in the future.”

”Yes, I understand,” Wang Sijing replied with a nod.

After pondering for two seconds, Mr. Wang rubbed the teacup with both hands and asked, ”How is that child Sicong doing?”

”The Blood Summoning Array has already been activated. Whether or not he gains the legacy depends on him. However, judging by his physique, he might become a cripple when he comes out.”

Mr. Wang nodded, not taking this matter to heart. Although Wang Sicong was among his juniors, he was the most useless among them. It wouldn’t matter if he died before he grew up.

”Ancestor, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first,” Wang Sijing said.

”Wait a moment.” After a pause, Mr. Wang asked, ”With the wedding date postponed by two months, what do you plan to do during this time? I have crossed paths with that little rascal. The current you are not his match. Let alone kill him.”

To be honest, Mr. Wang’s heart was still uneasy, for he didn’t know why Wang Sijing was so confident she could kill Lin Tian. Yet, he still agreed, partly due to her stubborn nature and partly because he had a strange sense of confidence himself.

After a long silence, Wang Sijing finally sighed and said, ”I went to the sixth level of the underground palace and obtained that Forbidden Technique scroll.”

”What?!”

The information in those words was too overwhelming that Mr. Wang couldn’t help but stand up suddenly, his eyes wide as brass bells, staring intensely at Wang Sijing’s face with both shock and anger.

He was astounded that she managed to pass two deadly arrays and retrieve that Forbidden Technique scroll.

He was furious because this girl was risking her life! Breaking through deadly arrays meant risking everything, and being able to return alive was already a blessing from the ancestors. But mastering that Forbidden Technique also came at the cost of her life.

To kill Lin Tian, she was entirely gambling her life!

”You...”

Before Mr. Wang could finish speaking, Wang Sijing interrupted him, saying, ”Ancestor, existence is reasonable. Though this is a Forbidden Technique, the ancestors didn’t destroy it but sealed it in the underground palace with a deadly array, surely for a reason. Since I could emerge unharmed, that Forbidden Technique will not be lethal to me.”

”...” Mr. Wang was at a loss for words against this argument, unable to rebuff. After a long pause, he asked quietly, ”Is this your reason for confidence?”

Wang Sijing shook her head, ”I have no certainty; I am merely gambling.”

”Is it worth it?” Mr. Wang asked in a steady voice.

”Yes!” Wang Sijing nodded almost without hesitation, ”The path I will walk does not tolerate any opposition, whether it be gods or Buddhas!”
