A few days ago, the Wang Family aid to elevate Wang Teng to the pinnacle of this era, so they dragged Chen Yang into the picture, hoping to use him as a stepping stone for Wang Teng's dazzling ascent. There's a saying: an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating its own abilities. Naturally, the Wang Family would have to bear the consequences of their actions.
The Wang Family Head was still unaware of the truth, so Wang Qing had to face the Forr Chief Military Commander alone.
As Chen Yang and his entourage delved deeper, more people took notice, all filled with bafflent. So mbers of the Wang Family sensed sothing amiss and rushed to report to the Family Head.
"Your Wang Family is quite luxurious," Chen Yang said with a smile. "Calling it Wang's Mansion is not an overstatent at all."
"My lord jests," replied Wang Qing with a forced smile.
"Damn, who is this guy that Wang Qing is personally receiving him, all nods and bows?"
"This situation doesn't look right at all."
While many people discussed this, so who considered themselves on good terms with Wang Qing openly inquired.
"Old Wang, who is this? Introduce us. He seems to be soone of no ordinary status," a middle-aged man said with a laugh.
Wang Qing's complexion turned dark. Are you all blind? Can't you damned fools see the state I'm in?
Angry as he was, Wang Qing still offered a brief explanation. "Don't ask anymore. I'll tell you later."
"You might as well tell them now," Chen Yang said suddenly, grinning with his hands behind his back. "After all, in a little while, it might be too late. Whether you, Wang Qing, will be dead or alive is still an open question."
Wang Qing: "..."
Everyone: "..."
The noisy scene slipped into dead silence in an instant.
GULP.
Many people swallowed hard, staring at Chen Yang in horror. At first, everyone thought they had misheard. But upon seeing Wang Qing's ashen face, even the most foolish among them understood that the Wang Family had probably provoked a major figure. And now, that dignitary had co knocking at their door.
Imdiately, everyone covered their mouths, not daring to speak recklessly again.
"My... my lord, it's better not to joke about such things," Wang Qing said with difficulty.
Chen Yang simply smiled without answering.
"Who exactly is this person?"
"We'd better say less and just watch quietly."
As Chen Yang and Wang Qing walked away, the crowd once again began to chatter.
「In the Wang Family's back courtyard.」
Wang Teng, having shed his previous listlessness, held his wine cup with high spirits, joyously clinking glasses with his friends. The atmosphere was bustling with excitent. Since everyone knew that Wang Teng was the Wang Family's favored son and that the Treasure Weapon was to beco his personal sword, their words and gestures were filled with flattery and ingratiation. Wang Teng was like the moon surrounded by stars, utterly peerless.
"Wang, they say seeing is believing—truly, you possess the form of a True Dragon, peerless and proud!"
"No joke! Who else in this world, besides our Wang, would dare to challenge the Forr Chief Military Commander, Chen Yang?"
"Haha..."
A wave of laughter brought the atmosphere to a climax. In their words, Chen Yang had already beco a stepping stone for Wang Teng.
"Though Wang was plotted against by a villain, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. With a Treasure Weapon at your side, won't taking down a re Chen Yang be as simple as a single sword strike?" a short young man said with certainty.
Another person imdiately chid in, "That's only because the Forr Chief Military Commander got lucky. Otherwise, he surely would have been cast down from his pedestal by Wang this ti."
"You guys," Wang Teng pointed at them, seemingly shaking his head in disapproval, but inwardly he was utterly smug and satisfied.
Then, the young master of the Wang Family, who was being praised to the heavens, casually remarked, "That Chen Yang is already past his pri. I certainly don't see him as a threat. Now and in the future, this grand era will undoubtedly belong to , Wang Teng."
Hmm?
Chen Yang, who just happened to be passing by, pivoted on his heel and walked straight over.
This... Wang Qing felt a sudden jolt of dread in his heart.
"The person who just spoke, that should be your son, right?" Chen Yang smiled. "Quite interesting indeed."
"Stay put and behave," Yang Hu said, stepping forward to block Wang Qing.
Chen Yang strode into the private courtyard.
"Wang, when you challenge Chen Yang again, we'll definitely be there to cheer you on!" the short young man said, pumping his fist with righteous conviction.
"Haha, thanks," Wang Teng replied, raising his glass.
The young man, whose na was Cao Shuo, raised his glass and said, "Wang, I toast you."
Just as Wang Teng was about to raise his glass in return, he saw a young man approaching slowly, a smile on his face that Wang Teng found extrely distasteful.
"Who is this guy? What's with that look on his face?" Cao Shuo said, clearly annoyed.
Wang Teng raised an eyebrow, his displeasure already showing.
"I was just passing by and heard soone discussing the Forr Chief Military Commander," Chen Yang said slowly with his hands behind his back. "What I want to say is..."
Cao Shuo cut him off abruptly. "If you're here to pay respects to Wang, then you'd better fix your attitude, you piece of trash! Who do you think you are!"
"Who said I was here to pay respects?" Chen Yang chuckled.
Everyone: "..."
Wang Teng's eyes gradually narrowed to slits as he stared coldly at Chen Yang.
"I think you're looking to die," Cao Shuo said, putting on a brave front by borrowing his friend's prestige. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was so formidable figure.
Chen Yang reached out and caught a dead leaf as it fluttered down.
With a flick of his finger.
WHOOSH!
A cold gleam shot across the air, seeming to tear the very void apart.
BOOM!
Cao Shuo, who had been so arrogant and self-righteous just a mont ago, had no ti to react before his chest was pierced straight through. A gust of wind blew past, leaving no trace of him behind.
Wang Teng: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone's pupils contracted violently, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
What the hell was that?!
"His mouth was too foul. It's better that he's out of sight," Chen Yang said. He pulled over a chair, sat down, and glanced at Wang Teng. "So you're the Wang Teng who claid he could cripple Chen Yang even after giving him a three-move handicap, or even with just one hand?"
"Who exactly are you?" Wang Teng's eyes sharpened like knives. "You dare to commit violence here, in the Wang Family estate, right in front of ? Are you tired of living?"
"Co," Chen Yang said, ignoring his threat. "Cripple ."
"Heh!" Wang Teng laughed in fury. "Who do you think you are? Are you even worthy of making a move?"
"Didn't you say you could cripple with one hand?" Chen Yang beckoned again with his finger. "Co."
Wang Teng: "..."
At this, the cocky young master was completely dumbfounded. It wasn't just him; everyone else present had twitching faces and expressions of pure shock.
The man himself has shown up?
"Don't believe ?" Chen Yang crossed his legs and pointed outside. "Why don't you ask your father to confirm?"
BOOM!
Wang Teng felt as if he had been struck by five bolts of lightning from a clear sky.
The Forr Chief Military Commander... why would he be here?!
