...
As expected.
Lei Yangyu’s expression slightly hardened: "The matter with my daughter is resolved, but what about my son’s issue?"
"Brother Yangyu." Wang Shouzhe showed a helpless expression and said, "Luotong is my younger sister. How could I not want her to marry into a good family? To be honest, Boo Wu is not bad, but Luotong herself refuses to marry. I can’t very well force her into marriage, can I?"
"Then what?" Lei Yangyu raised his eyebrows, "I’ve already married my legitimate daughter to your younger brother, should I really let a Lei Family disciple marry into your family? If word gets out, where will the dignity of the Lei Family go?"
"You have a point." Wang Shouzhe nodded in agreent, "In that case, let’s call off this engagent."
"I don’t agree," the thirty-sothing-year-old Lei Bowu stord in with an air of aggression, "Father, according to the ancestral rules of the Lei Family, request a division of the family. No matter how little is given to , once the family is divided, I will be the head of my own branch and can make my own decisions."
Lei Yangyu was fuming with rage, his whole body trembling as he scolded angrily: "Ungrateful son, you ungrateful son, how did a person like you appear in the grand Lei Family!"
"Brother Yangyu, calm down, calm down~" Wang Shouzhe poured him so Spirit Tea to soothe him and said, "It’s indeed frustrating for sothing like this to happen. But ultimately, it has already occurred, hasn’t it? Take it easy, take it easy."
"Take it easy?" Lei Yangyu glanced at Wang Shouzhe with a gloomy look, "Of course you can take it easy since it’s not your son who’s ungrateful."
Over the years, Lei Yangyu had not been less angry about this son.
"Brother Yangyu, why not just let it be as it is?" Wang Shouzhe said, "Even if Boo Wu marries into our family, I can guarantee that no one in our family would dare to look down on him because of it."
Lei Yangyu’s expression was uncertain.
If the Ping’an Wang Family were still the sa as before, Lei Yangyu would have turned his back long ago.
However, the current Ping’an Wang Family has not only ascended to beco a Celestial Human Family, but their rapid developnt is unlike anything he has ever seen in his life.
Moreover, as a Celestial Human Family, they are not as cut off from information as ordinary noble families in Changning Guard. Through family mbers in the Academy, he already knows that the Wang Family has produced two Celestial Prides in this generation, who have been taken as Direct Disciples by the Xuan Yao Lineage and the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies.
With such talent, combined with the resources of the Academy, it’s certain that these two will also reach the Celestial Human Realm in the future.
Perhaps in a hundred years... no, it might not even take a hundred years, the Wang Family would rise to beco a Sixth-Grade Noble Family.
Although there’s only a one-grade difference between Seventh and Sixth Grade, in reality, the power disparity between them can reach four to five tis or more.
While no one can say for certain what the future holds, Wang Shouzhe, who seems gentle and humble on the surface, is actually deeply strategic and cautious in his actions, not an easy character to deal with.
The chances of the Wang Family eting a downfall under his leadership are indeed low.
Also, it is well-known that the Celestial Human Xu Family is now closely allied with the Wang Family.
Antagonizing the Wang Family would not be a wise move.
"Fine, fine~" Lei Yangyu pondered for a long ti and ultimately decided not to get entangled in this matter, sighing, "I will agree to this matter as if Lei was born a legitimate son for nothing. But this matter must be handled discreetly."
With that, he couldn’t help but glare at his troubleso son again, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Hehehe~"
Lei Bowu chuckled foolishly, completely unconcerned even when scolded by his father.
"Brother Yangyu, since we are to form a marriage alliance, let us proceed with it openly." Wang Shouzhe suggested, "I believe it won’t take many years for Brother Yangyu to feel proud of today’s decision."
"Alright. Based on Patriarch Shouzhe’s words, I entrust Boo Wu to you."
Lei Yangyu was not one to dawdle. Once he made a decision, he would not dwell on it.
He raised the tea cup in front of him, using tea as a substitute for wine, and formally addressed Wang Shouzhe, "From now on, my Lei Family and the Celestial Human Wang Family will be joined as families by marriage. As the patriarch, I sincerely hope for a long and lasting relationship between the Lei Family and the Wang Family."
"Hahaha~ I am honored by Brother Yangyu’s trust, and I assure you that Shouzhe will not disappoint." Wang Shouzhe laughed heartily, also raising the tea cup in front of him, and solemnly said, "From now on, the three major Celestial Human Families of Changning Guard shall watch over one another and pursue developnt together."
After speaking, the two clinked their cups, exchanging smiles, and everything was understood without words.
Though neither of them spoke in too much detail, as Noble Family Heads, they naturally understood what the other ant.
Within the sa Guardian City, there is actually a competitive relationship between Celestial Human Families.
Ultimately, a Guardian City’s resources are finite, and for Celestial Human Families to develop, friction between them is inevitable. In such a long-term context, maintaining a good relationship is abnormal.
Celestial Human Families usually do not intermarry with local Celestial Human Families, precisely due to this reason.
But the Changning Xu Family and the Ping’an Wang Family broke this rule.
The two families were already allied by marriage, and after a direct lineage marriage alliance, not only did they collaborate to crush the Celestial Person Huangfu Family, but they also ascended to beco Seventh-Grade Celestial Human Families in succession, supporting one another and maintaining a stable relationship.
As a fellow Celestial Human Family in Changning Guard, the Lei Family’s position suddenly beca awkward.
Even though the Xu and Wang Families have just ascended to Celestial Human Families, the Celestial Human Lei Family is far superior to either of them in overall strength, but it is evident that as a Celestial Human Family, the Celestial Human Lei Family would stand no chance against the combined forces of two.
