Li Yao’s Style_1 …

Long Wuji was naturally aware of the Great Heavenly Proud’s strength.

In the past, he had seen numerous Great Heavenly Prouds, and he initially assumed that even if the Wang family managed to nurture one, they would be just a big fish in a small pond.

But now, it appeared that was not the case.

This Wang family was indeed interesting.

… “Hahaha!

Miss Liyao, fitting for the title of the Great Heavenly Proud, is the legitimate successor of Master Tianhe!” He suddenly stood up from his chair and spoke out loud.

As he spoke, his figure disappeared from the cabin, and reappeared in the sky.

He was less than three zhang away from Wang Liyao.

This was the strength of a Purple Abode Realm powerhouse.

Even without using any other means, just his movement technique alone was enough to kill a Tianren Realm powerhouse in seconds.

Moreover, when he changed his form, there was no trace left.

Anyone not at the Purple Abode Realm might not even understand how he did it.

But Long Wuji, as if he had done something insignificant, retained his calm demeanor while saying, “I’m fortunate to meet Miss Liyao today.”

He was still casually dressed in his usual attire—short jacket and shorts—with a nonchalant aura.

His manner was bold yet deadly, akin to a fearsome beast that ruled the mountain.

The danger he emanated could be felt from every pore of his body.

Despite not releasing any intimidating aura on purpose, Wang Liyao still felt her breath hitch and her aura erratic.

She was secretly astonished.

Long Wuji was indeed an Enlightened One of the Purple Abode Realm, unparalleled in aura and demeanor.

However, her time at the Academic Palace was not in vain.

The rich Primordial Water Aura on the “Nameless Ruin Island” benefited her far more than Shang Jiping.

Over a year, her cultivation base grew rapidly, and her understanding of Sword Intent became more proficient.

After all, the Academic Palace was flooded with other disciples practicing the Primordial Water Swordsmanship.

She would spar with them when she was idle and consult with Master Yuan Shui and Master Tianhe for guidance, resulting in her quick progress in Swordsmanship.

Just like that, she gained a deeper understanding of her father’s longstanding aspiration to send her to the Academic Palace.

In just a year, she felt like a brand-new person.

Not to mention her Swordsmanship skills, which she was confident could overpower her former self.

Being the legitimate successor of Master Tianhe, she often dealt with Purple Abode Realm cultivators, and over time, her fear towards Long Wuji had diminished.

In a mere instant, she put her feelings in check and curtsied, “I, Wang Liyao of the younger generation, greet Master Dragon.

Thank you for the compliment.”

“Good, you are indeed composed and calm.

With Miss Liyao’s demeanor, you’re destined for greatness in the future.” Long Wuji commended, his hands behind his back.

“Please convey my regards to Master Tianhe when you see him.”

Despite the tension between the Jiaolong Gang and the Wang family, he retained his confidence and grace in dealing with them.

“I will definitely pass on Master Dragon’s message.” Wang Liyao nodded dutifully, “Master Dragon’s visit has brought honor to our Changning Wang Clan.

My father has mandated that we treat you with the utmost respect and hospitality per our family tradition.

He has already prepared the Guest Welcoming Pavilion at the peak of Broken Dragon Gorge and has been waiting there since early this morning.

We hope you could spare some time for him.”

Upon hearing this, there was a noticeable shift in the atmosphere.

All the commanders under Long Wuji simultaneously looked astonished: “How audacious!

The Changning Wang family is nothing more than a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family, what makes them think they can…”

But before they could finish, Long Wuji slowly raised his hand.

All the commanders immediately fell silent.

The atmosphere by the river became incredibly tense again.

“Broken Dragon Gorge, what an interesting name.

Master Shouzhe truly is an amusing person.” Long Wuji chuckled with a glint of coldness in his eyes as he wistfully said, “Miss Liyao, your father indeed has enough confidence.

Does he truly think that by using Master Tianhe to pressurize me, I will give him face?”

“My father has always said that our Changning Wang Clan always serves the nation faithfully.

We abide by the laws and rules; we keep to the Heavenly Dao with the leaders, and toward the common people, we harbor no guilt.” Wang Liyao lifted her chin slightly, reflecting her confidence, “You ask why my father is so confident?

Because the Wang Clan is upright and unbiased, rigid in principle.

Master Dragon, your Jiaolong Gang is much more powerful than our Wang Clan.

But if you want to use power to oppress us, we will not submit nor butter up to others for a mere livelihood.

Even if our clan has to spill the last drop of blood, we will not falter or fear!”

“This is my father’s confidence, and the confidence of our Changning Wang lineage.”

As her words faded…

The bystanders at the ferry docks and on the ferry all cheered in agreement.

Miss Liyao is absolutely right!

The Wang Clan is different from other prominent families.

They respect and uphold the law.

Their regulations may be strict, but they always stick to their word.

They never bully the weak or fool the public with deceptive tactics.

That’s why, even though Ping’an Town’s rules are strict, it has attracted more and more people to settle down.

It’s also why many people were itching to follow the Wang Clan for their pioneering venture outside their own territory.

Upon seeing this, a chill flashed in Long Wuji’s eyes, hinting at a feeling of foreboding.

He never expected the Wang Clan to be so popular in Changning.
