Chapter 1144: Chapter 86: The Great Emperor Arrives at the Wang Family! Unsettled Feelings_4 Chapter 1144: Chapter 86: The Great Emperor Arrives at the Wang Family! Unsettled Feelings_4 “Who said my family’s fallen on hard tis? My household’s doing great~” Emperor Longchang, with hands clasped behind his back, spoke indignantly, “And another thing, I’ll just break the law and let you have a look. I’ll give you a vivid lesson so you’ll never carelessly vouch for soone again. Who knows, I might even be a spy~~”
Xue Ning held her forehead and turned away, not wanting to acknowledge her Old Ancestor anymore.
Soone kindly vouched for you, and you actually want to trick them? Gramps is really getting more childlike and capricious with age.
“Ha ha, you wouldn’t do that.” The owner of the “Dingjiang” laughed, “Despite your bad temper and that grumpy old man deanor, you’re not a bad person deep down, definitely not a spy. I’ve traveled all over for over a hundred years; back in Ping’an Town, I even helped the Wang family catch quite a few spies and criminals. My eyes are pretty sharp when it cos to people.”
Sharp my ass!
Emperor Longchang rolled his eyes, unimpressed.
If you were so sharp, how co you didn’t see that I am a Great Emperor? How co you didn’t realize that Wang Shouzhe is nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
“Alright, I’m busy too. You three just look for opportunities in Xinping Town. If all else fails, you could join the Wang family’s construction crew for so odd jobs. A worker from the Spiritual Platform Realm can earn a decent wage.” The owner of the “Dingjiang” patted his shoulder again, gave a few more instructions, and then strode away, “If you really run into any troubles, just ntion my na.”
“I go by ‘Dongfang Cangqiong’.”
Dongfang Cangqiong?
Emperor Longchang’s expression froze.
Is taking such extravagant nas now a trend in the lower echelons of the Great Qian Land? And how many tis did that old man pat my shoulder?
“Old Master, this new port in Xinping is massive, like a small city in itself.” Old Yao said, “Let’s find an inn to stay first, then plan our next move.”
“Right. We’ll settle in first, then slowly pick out Wang Shouzhe’s faults.” Emperor Longchang nodded in agreent.
“Gramps, the Wang family head Shouzhe is quite decent, why must you always make things difficult for him?” Xue Ning really couldn’t stand it anymore and pouted as she spoke.
“Quite decent?” Emperor Longchang retorted, “Xue Ning girl, don’t be poisoned by the Wang family’s influence. Just look at them. Entering their jurisdiction requires thorough checking and special temporary passes, as if it’s a state within a state. What are they planning? To declare themselves emperor behind closed doors? Hmph~ people full of ambition.”
Then.
Emperor Longchang started looking for trouble and finding fault in the Wang family’s territory.
First, he targeted the displaced families.
“My good man, I hear your family’s been living in Ping’an Town for generations. Did you face any grievances during the demolition? Were you forcefully evicted? Feel free to share any dissatisfaction with .”
“Grievances? We were compensated five tis the price, how could there be any grievances? Are you being demolished too? Let tell you, one must have a conscience in life. The Wang family treats people so generously, we can’t mistreat them.”
“Hey, hey, hey~ old guy, you a spy or sothing? Everyone knows the Wang family’s rehousing program is ridiculously generous, making the evictees rich.”
Emperor Longchang got similar responses from several people until he encountered a flippant middle-aged man who gave a different answer, “Grievances? I’ve got plenty. I’m dead aggrieved~! The Wang family demolished my house and seized twenty mu of my farmland.”
“Co, co, co, tell —I an, tell your problems.” Emperor Longchang suddenly beca excited.
After all this ti, he seed to have finally caught the Wang family’s Achilles’ heel.
“Of course I’m aggrieved. The Wang family only offered to compensate us with four thousand Qian Gold or exchange it for three hundred mu of farmland and a house in Xinping Town,” the man ranted, “I want to expose them. The Wang family is oppressing the common people.”
Emperor Longchang’s face darkened: “That’s quite a lot and you’re still not satisfied? So how much do you want in compensation?”
“At least twenty thousand Qian Gold or an exchange for a thousand mu of farmland.”
“Get lost!”
Emperor Longchang directly kicked the ruffian away with his foot.
Emperor Longchang and his two companions split up to quietly inquire among the households affected by relocation but never found an answer that satisfied him. Instead, he repeatedly sensed the Wang family’s integrity and the humaneness they demonstrated during the relocation process.
Only a handful of people had complaints against the Wang family, each one of whom was so troubleso that even Emperor Longchang couldn’t help wanting to punch them. Their opinions couldn’t be taken seriously.
Their actions also triggered the Wang family’s internal defense chanisms.
The capture squad soon surrounded the inn where they were staying.
Emperor Longchang naturally refused to be caught and, using the power of the Transcendent Void Realm, quietly tore open a spatial rift and “escaped” to the territory of Ping’an Town, leaving Old Yao and Wu Xue Ning staring at each other in bewildernt.
To flee, or not to flee?
Forget it, surrendering seed best; they really didn’t want to partake in the Great Emperor’s antics anymore.
Setting aside the capture of Old Yao and Wu Xue Ning, Emperor Longchang, feeling begrudged, had arrived at the Wang Family School.
He had long ascertained the location of the Wang Family School. Originally, if they hadn’t been “captured,” their next stop would have been the school.
The Wang Family School was a place of mixed reputation.
So called it a “Sacred Land,” while others called it “Purgatory.”
But whether it was a Sacred Land or Purgatory, Emperor Longchang wanted to see it with “his own eyes.” After all, he had heard that the five little wolf cubs he loved dearly had been studying there all this ti…
It had been thirty years, and it seed they hadn’t graduated yet.
He also wished to see what the legendary Wang Family School was really like.
For the mighty Emperor, sneaking into the Wang Family School was not difficult. Once inside, a slight movent of his enormous God Sense easily located the five little wolf cubs.
Upon seeing the five little wolves… no, they could no longer be considered little cubs but rather adolescents.
Thirty years had passed, and all five had reached Level Five. Their size had grown significantly, squatting down they were now taller than a man.
mories flooded back, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in the Great Emperor’s eyes.
“Eh?”
Emperor Longchang suddenly beca alert as he noticed that they seed to be receiving punishnt, each with a look of grievance, lining up for the Clan School teacher to whip their paws with a disciplinary ruler.
“You five, after so many years, how could you still fail your graduation exam? Failing is one thing, but to even dare to cheat!” The elderly Clan School teacher was furious, hitting and scolding them without mincing words. “I am so disappointed in you!”
Seeing this, an unstoppable rage surged in Emperor Longchang’s heart.
“Whoosh,” he flashed over, grabbed the teacher’s disciplinary ruler, and angrily said, “Even I, the Emperor, can’t bear to hit them, and you old fool still won’t stop!”
The Clan School teacher was initially stunned then roared back in anger, “Who is this old fool? They are my students, and if they make mistakes, they must be punished—even Master Shouzhe can’t interfere arbitrarily.”
Master Shouzhe?
Upon hearing this, Emperor Longchang beca even more furious and imdiately retorted, “I was just looking to pick a fight with him! Bring him to . I want to ask why he lets soone beat my little wolf cubs?”
