Seeing the two about to argue, Wang Youjun quickly stepped forward to diate, using humorous diversions to smooth things over.
The next day.
Wang Fugui returned for a family visit. After paying respects at the Old Ancestor’s courtyard, he was blocked by his son, Wang Baosheng.
Wang Baosheng directly dragged him into the study. After following protocol and paying respects, he eagerly inquired, "Dad, did you read the letter I wrote you? It’s the one about the analysis and speculations on the location where the First Expeditionary Army of the Divine Martial Dynasty t their end."
He looked at his father with eager anticipation.
"Oh, that letter, yes, I read it," praised Wang Fugui. "You’ve got quite the mind. The situation you analyzed and the actual situation are almost spot-on. How did you do it?"
Hearing his analysis was acknowledged, Wang Baosheng rarely got excited: "I researched all the historical records from the Immortal-Demon Dynasties concerning the First Expeditionary Army during the Divine Martial Era. I speculated on their possible marching routes, based on the demonic world map and intelligence information you left ! That’s how I deduced three possible locations where they could have fallen."
"Not bad, not bad," Wang Fugui happily patted his son’s shoulder and said, "Truly my son, Wang Fugui’s, precise intelligence analysis and inference abilities! Quite reflect the flair I had back in the day. You’ve done well this ti, so I won’t beat you."
Wang Baosheng’s face turned dark.
Doing well only ans not getting beaten?
However, he couldn’t dwell on this at the mont, so he hurriedly asked, "Then, father, when are you planning to take action?"
"Already did," Wang Fugui said.
"Ah, Father is indeed swift and decisive." A look of comfort appeared in Wang Baosheng’s eyes.
Apparently, the motivational ti planning he made for his father earlier was effective, and his father’s sowhat lazy nature had finally changed.
"Your grand-aunt Li Yao began planning this thirty years ago. This year, with my overall coordination, she led the Lingyun Holy Ground team and retrieved the relics of the expeditionary force from the edge of Sawbone Demon God’s territory~ It happened that they also swept two Demonic King Fortresses too," Wang Fugui sighed with emotion, "Li Yao is indeed formidable, plotting for decades and succeeding in one strike."
"What? Grand Aunt Li Yao planned this thirty years ago?" Wang Baosheng’s eyes widened in shock, "Then, what about the Immortal Scripture? Did they retrieve it? I deduced from the records that it’s a Water Spirit sword scripture!"
"Yes. It’s called the [Immortal River Sword Scripture], perfectly matching your grand-aunt’s attributes. Besides the Immortal Scripture, there are eleven Codices in total, one Immortal Artifact, several Dao-level Items, and a ton of Divine Spiritual Treasure." Wang Fugui said with a very satisfied smile, "This ensures that with Li Yao’s efforts, Lingyun Sacred Land will beco Lingyun Immortal Palace, and our Human race’s power will grow."
"Uh..." Wang Baosheng forced a smile, "That’s truly sothing to congratulate Grand Aunt on."
"You don’t seem too happy?" Wang Fugui scrutinized his son, a little suspicious.
"No, no, I’m quite happy for Grand Aunt getting the Immortal Scripture. It’s just that, I put in a lot of effort to secure an Immortal Scripture for Mother, but I was decades too late," sighed Wang Baosheng with a sowhat regretful expression, "Recently, Aunt Zhao Yu has been working very hard and is very smart. As long as I don’t let up on urging her, Aunt’s future on the True Demon path is promising, yet my mother’s Immortal Scripture remains elusive."
"You, though usually stubborn and overly candid, have a very filial heart," Wang Fugui gratefully rubbed his son’s head, "At a young age, you understand planning an Immortal Scripture for your parents."
"Father, you’re flattering . I was just planning a bit for Mother," Wang Baosheng straightforwardly said.
"What about your father?" Wang Fugui’s gaze turned a bit unfriendly.
"Father is the fifth heir to the Wang family’s direct line..." Wang Baosheng replied with candor, looking all justified, "Considering the family’s developnt trend and the upcoming takeoff after the Sacred Domain opens, Father’s Immortal Scripture is assured. However, Mother’s place in line will surely be farther down..."
"Good child, truly filial."
Wang Fugui swiftly lifted him onto his knee, preparing to spank him once more.
"Father!" Wang Baosheng cried out in terror, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t beat today?"
"But I feel like it now!" Wang Fugui said, giving him a smack.
"Ah~~" Wang Baosheng cried out miserably, his face turning red with pain, and tears welled up in his big eyes, full of grievance, "But, but what did I do wrong?"
"So young, and you ca back reeking of alcohol after drinking with a female colleague last night. I heard you even got all touchy at the table. Tell , are you in an early romance?"
"I’m not dating!"
"Not dating? Then what were you getting all touchy for if you’re not? You spoiled, rebellious brat..."
Wang Baosheng cried and complained from being beaten: "Stop hitting . She’s interested in you, Father~"
"What? You brat, that’s too much! How dare you compete with your father over a girl... See if I don’t thrash you."
No matter how Wang Baosheng explained, Wang Fugui could always find a reason to keep beating him. After a few attempts, Wang Baosheng understood and completely gave up defending himself, lanting and wailing, "Father, I was wrong, whatever you say... Wuwuwu~~"
"What? Holy Child, are you really this indecisive? As the sixth heir in the family line... How can you be so impressionable!"
Outside the study, Yun ngyu could hear her son’s lant from a distance and felt heartache as well.
Judging by the sounds, it was clear he must have been beaten severely.
She had the mind to rescue her son, but then she rembered how he had banned her favorite show, "The Cold and Arrogant Gentleman Loves ," recently.
Most annoyingly, when she asked him for a backdoor, he gave her no face, saying the plot of "The Cold and Arrogant Gentleman Loves " had incorrect values and might mislead young people, thus must be extensively revised.
Steeling her resolve, she ran into the kitchen to cook a pot of nourishing congee for her husband, in case her beloved gentleman got tired from beating his son.
Needs to be replenished!
