This is my family’s Old Ancestor!_2 Chapter 595: Chapter 51 Wang Shouzhe!

This is my family’s Old Ancestor!_2 “If we miss the opportune moment, or refuse to concede during the negotiations, causing Great Commander Zhao to be sentenced…

It would indeed be of our own making, even if it results in deep-seated hatred between both sides, they could easily shift the blame onto us.

In that case, they could use their status as victims to easily win the sympathy from public opinion…

along with the favor of neutral forces.”

“Moreover, considering Wang Shouzhe’s character, he must have already investigated our information.

He should well know that Master Dragon values loyalty and sentiment and would not abandon Great Commander Zhao lightly.

… All in all, the Wang family and their In-laws Alliance have now taken the initiative, putting us in a relatively passive position.”

Jiang Yusong’s series of analysis made the objectives of the Wang family crystal clear.

Long Wuji’s brow slightly furrowed: “So, the Wang family intends to seek peace, but wouldn’t want to share a piece of the pie with us?

Great Commander Jiang, is there a way out?”

“There’s naturally a way out.” Jiang Yusong straightened his sleeve, smiling confidently, “While Wang Shouzhe can plot cunning schemes, he has forgotten one thing.

In the end, the world still respects power above all else.

The strength of all elites in his in-law alliance, at most, equals a somewhat powerful Rank Six Prominent Family.

As for us, the Jiaolong Gang, our overall combat strength is comparable to Fifth Grade Prominent Families.”

“As long as you, the head of our household, personally lead us to Changning Weicheng and exert pressure on them as a master from the Purple Abode, it will naturally stir unease among their In-laws Alliance.

Then with my eloquent persuasion, combining a mix of soft and hard tactics, I can dissolve their will from within.

At that time, not only rescuing Great Commander Zhao would not be a problem, but we also wouldn’t miss out on our share of profits.”

“Once we gain a firm foothold in Changning Weicheng, even if we only manage a slight foothold, we can then take our time to expand the interests of our Jiaolong Gang.”

This suggestion was met with frequent nods from the several Great Commanders present.

Even Long Wuji, with narrowed eyes, seemed to greatly agree.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, a female voice echoed.

At the same time, a graceful figure veiled in figure appeared from a corner, saying: “Master Dragon, this plan might not be appropriate.”

Despite being veiled and her face unseen, the figure emanated an ethereal charm.

It was none other than Cao Youqing, who was grievously injured during their previous encounter with the Wang family.

The gaze of Long Wuji narrowed slightly as he indifferently replied: “Miss Cao, are there more directions to point?”

Cao Youqing seemed to be oblivious to Long Wuji’s ambivalence as she continued: “Wang Shouzhe is extremely deceitful, adept at setting traps.

The negotiation you have with him probably already falls into his plan.

Why not we put everything out, launch a surprise attack on the Wang family’s main residence, and catch them off guard.”

Upon hearing this, Long Wuji’s face turned slightly cold.

He eyed Cao Youqing without changing the rhythm of his tone: “Miss Cao, do you really think that our Jiaolong Trade Association is a group of desperate bandits?

Killing at a drop of the hat.

If I were to do that, don’t you think it wouldn’t be long before the joint forces of the Academic Palace and the Government Office would flatten Jiaolong Island?”

“But…” Cao Youqing saw the situation slipping out of her control and quickly became anxious with her tone becoming more rigid, “Master Dragon, don’t forget what the young master instructed us…”

However, she only managed to get half her words out.

Long Wuji impatiently waved her off.

An overwhelming surge of Qi vigour ruthlessly hit her chest.

The devastating power, like a juggernaut, penetrated straight into her heart meridian, causing her entire person to fly backwards and violently collide into the stone pillars outside the door, causing the entire hall to shudder along with it.

Only after this did the echoing sound of the Qi explosion finally ring out.

Cao Youqing felt as though the world was turning upside down as she vomited a mouthful of blood.

The intense pain made her face turn deathly pale, but it couldn’t hide the shock and anger in her eyes.

She couldn’t have imagined that Long Wuji, a figure from the Purple Abode, would attack without warning, not giving her, a Sky Pride from the Sacred Land, any face at all!

However, before she could react, a killing intent so palpable it seemed physical descended upon her.

It was bone chilling, like it was from the nine hells, accompanied by a terror-inducing Evil Qi.

At that instant, she had no doubt that if she dared move a single muscle, the next strike waiting for her would most likely be the killing blow!

“How can my decisions ever require your guidance?”

Long Wuji didn’t even glance at her, maintaining his lazy and casual demeanour, with half-closed eyes as if he could never fully awaken, his voice, however, became chilling: “Not to mention you are nothing more than an oblivious dog under the young master, even if the young master himself stood before me, he still wouldn’t be qualified to preach to me, Long Wuji.”

The corner of Cao Youqing’s mouth dripped with fresh blood.

She lowered her head, but the hatred in her eyes was not quelled.

…

Half a month later.

A precious spring rain fell upon the land of Changning Weicheng.

All the tenant farmers were brimming with joy.

This timely spring rain provided abundant water for the winter wheat, promoting its robust growth.

If everything continued smoothly, this coming May would again be a harvest season.

However, beneath the seeming tranquility and harmony of Changning Weicheng, there was a turbulent undercurrent brewing.

The first to bear the brunt was none other than Lord Wei Wenxun, the Changning city defender.

Wei Wenxun was regretful at this moment.

When he was newly promoted to the Heavenly Human Realm, how proud and enthusiastic was he back then when the Prefectural Governor personally offered him three guard cities to choose from for defending and governing.

He, not knowing the good fortune that he had stumbled upon, chose Changning Weicheng.
