Capítulo 2024: Chapter 173: The Spirit of Youth at the Old Tavern (Part 2)
No matter how noble Zhongxuan Sheng’s status is, after all, he is so young and has not yet inherited the title…
He has already forced a smile, not caring about the other’s reckless deanor, but why is he still so aggressive and tearing down the house?
Zhongxuan Sheng was too lazy to bother with him and looked around, loudly asking, “Where is Lian Que?”
In just a few words, many mbers of the Lian clan had already gathered in front of the Lian ancestral hall.
Lian Que’s steadfast figure walked over from a distance without saying anything, and the crowd automatically parted a path for him.
Having forged the world-renowned sword Longing and managed affairs with Zhongxuan Sheng’s help over the years, his prestige within the Lian clan has long since changed dramatically.
The silent path the crowd parted for him is a testant to his honor!
Lian Zhuping glared at him viciously, his gaze like an old king in a wolf pack slling the scent of a new king: “Lian Que, what do you an by this? Colluding with outsiders today, stirring up trouble, are you trying to disgrace our Lian ancestral hall?!”
Lian Que’s face is not one that people are willing to look at, indeed not very pleasant to behold. But at this mont, people have no choice but to look at him.
He first nodded to Jiang Wang, then looked at Zhongxuan Sheng and asked, “Is the ti right?”
Zhongxuan Sheng smiled, “If we still need the so-called ‘timing’ now, then all your efforts over the years can be considered in vain! You might as well go to Green sheep town to forge iron, and I might as well sell buns there!”
Lian Que then smiled, of course, not a very good-looking smile, “I understand the reasoning, but why are you selling buns?”
Zhongxuan Sheng grinned, “Because soone likes to eat them!”
Lian Que glanced at Shisi…
Then looked self-consciously at Jiang Wang.
Then he calmly turned back to Lian Zhuping and said, “From today onward, the position of Lian family head belongs to .”
His tone was not agitated because he was not declaring war or trying to conquer anyone. He was rely announcing a fact.
Sotis he himself feels a sense of unreality. The once seemingly insurmountable difficulties, the life he was determined to change, the belief that he would have to devote everything and fight for a lifeti, he indeed had the realization of burning with determination—
But in just a few years, it has beco within easy reach.
After all, that young man who ca from afar to Qi has already grown into the number one genius of the younger generation in Qi Country.
After all, that disciple from Heavy Mystery who was not respected by many has now beco a match for Zhongxuan Zun, who outshines his peers.
After all, he has not wasted a day over these years.
Thus, the promise made back then in the wine shop should indeed be fulfilled today.
Lian Zhuping was both shocked and enraged, “Absurd!”
He was furious at Lian Que’s attitude and even more terrified of it.
Pointing at Lian Que, he cursed, “You brat, do you think by clinging to the high branches of the Zhong Xuan Family, relying on the prestige of the Marquis of Bowang, you can cover the sky with one hand, even control the position of my Lian family head?”
“You’re both evil and stupid! Would Chiyang county governnt allow this? Would the Court just watch?”
In his angry roars, trying to cover his guilt, he didn’t forget to separate the influence of Heavy Mystery Family, not forgetting to instill confidence in those who supported him.
But Lian Que’s expression was odd, “What does this have to do with the Zhong Xuan Family? Why wouldn’t Chiyang county governnt allow it?”
His calm tone was in stark contrast to Lian Zhuping’s agitation: “This is a decision made by our own Lian clan.”
By this ti, Lian Zhuping had, of course, so level of premonition.
But he refused to believe it.
He had been the family head for so many years, managed for so long, done so much for this family… how old is this brat Lian Que? How many years has he been famous?
“Lian clan?” He let out a cold laugh, albeit with a hint of lack of confidence, yet still exerting what little residual power he could muster: “Since when could the Lian clan be led by you?”
Lian Que did not speak.
At this mont, among the people surrounding the Lian ancestral hall, more than half of them almost simultaneously looked up at Lian Zhuping!
At this mont, the gaze carried real weight.
Why did Lian Que need to speak?
Over the past few years, through Lian Que’s connections, Lian’s family has gained support from the Heavy Mystery Family, thriving in the military, and every ti there was a military order, they could secure the best terms. The past troubles that were stuck here and there, all vanished whenever Lian Que intervened.
Hundreds of people in the Lian family, and many more in the weapons forging industry centered around the Lian clan, who hasn’t benefited from it?
What is the hearts and minds of the people? This is the hearts and minds right here!
And besides, although Lian Que may not be slick or possess graceful maneuvers, he is absolutely a fair person.
He would never let those who follow him suffer losses, would never overlook anyone’s benefits. Just this point alone surpasses Lian Zhuping by far!
Lian Zhuping might once have been an excellent family head, after all, he maintained Lian’s business even when they hadn’t produced a famous weapon for a long ti and had no martial support. He may not have accomplished anything notable, but the hardships he endured were real.
But he is already old!
He is over sixty, yet has not achieved God Arrives, relying on spiritual dicine just to avoid his cultivation from deteriorating.
At his age, he hasn’t achieved God Arrives, yet he still hasn’t given up!
He continuously demands from the family, uses various resources, hoping for the day of achieving God Arrives, hoping to maintain his youth and break the limitations of life.
Why align with Fourteen Prince Jiang Wuyong? Why do things on the edge of danger?
All stem from his dissatisfaction, his greed. He seeks what can’t be obtained through normal channels, desires more!
