Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 215 - 168 Wang Sheng: Don’t Be an Overachieving King

Great Grandmaster!

No matter where in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were the most powerful and top-notch fighters, and they were simply not ones the Wu Family could afford to offend.

Once truly offended, perhaps the Wu Family would be annihilated the next day, and they would have no power to resist whatsoever. Such was the might of a Great Grandmaster.

”Clan Leader, is this true?”

In fact, some of the cleverer members of the Wu Family had already guessed the real answer.

After all, the Family Head himself had said that he was far from being an opponent, which meant that he had already met with that person.

They might even have crossed hands.

And now, saying that he was far from being an opponent, the answer was quite obvious.

However, they still wanted confirmation.

”There’s no need to doubt it.”

Wu Yuancheng gave them the answer. These people were the core members of the Wu Family who must be informed, otherwise, if there were any misunderstandings later on, the trouble would be even greater. Matters related to the fate of the family absolutely could not be vague.

The people in the council hall just couldn’t contain their emotions, even though the Family Head was there, they started whispering to one another.

At first, they thought the Family Head’s decision to come here seeking so-called protection was not wise, they trusted the Valley Master of Stargazing Valley too much, after all, the Valley Master was not omnipotent.

The Wu Family had come to Shuzhou so quickly, but at the cost of abandoning a great deal of interest, affecting many people within the clan.

Although they dared not openly criticize, they were also very puzzled in their hearts.

Especially after arriving in the three counties, they learned that the so-called protection of the three counties was simply from a Grandmaster.

Wu Yuancheng himself was a Grandmaster, with no need for another Grandmaster’s protection.

Of course, it was just a lack of understanding. They also knew who the Wu Family relied on; even if they didn’t understand, there were no complaints, and they obediently settled here without causing any trouble.

But now, Wu Yuancheng’s words directly changed their thoughts.

The protector of the three counties turned out to be one of the few Great Grandmasters.

They could only say that the Family Head truly had foresight.

Wu Yuancheng waited for them to discuss for a while before saying:

”Alright, quiet down. The reason I called you here was to inform you of some matters.

First, everyone present is a core member of my Wu Family. The conversation we just had cannot be spread by anyone. If I catch wind of it, clan discipline will be enforced.

Second, keep an eye on those pampered scions. It’s fine for them to idle around in their usual pleasures, but if I find anyone committing crimes, they will also be dealt with according to clan rules; their cultivation will be abolished followed by one hundred and twenty floggings.

Also, be sure not to discuss that Great Person anymore. Although that person may not care, we cannot do so. Understand?”

”Yes!”

There was no opposition from anyone. Facing a strong figure with the power of a Great Grandmaster, no amount of caution was too much.

”If you understand, then go. Also, don’t reveal these matters to anyone else, not everyone can keep their mouth shut.”

”Clan Leader, if we don’t explain the reasons, what if some people don’t understand?”

Wu Yuancheng’s gaze turned chilly as he said, ”Anyone who has enjoyed the protection of the Wu Family but is unwilling to make sacrifices for it should no longer consider themselves part of the Wu Family!”

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, knowing Wu Yuancheng’s resolve.

Orders were soon dispatched. Indeed, there were some who didn’t understand, but it was fruitless. After being disciplined, they also became obedient.

And because of this, the people of the Wu Family kept an even lower profile.

...

After asking Wu Yuancheng, Wang Sheng and Yue returned to Qingshan Village.

He distinctly felt that Yue, having asked about the Valley Master of Stargazing Valley, had become more open-minded. Although there was no expression on her face, her mood had clearly improved a lot.

Clearly, this search for Wu Yuancheng could not be called a complete success, as he failed to find out the Valley Master’s purpose, but Yue had obtained what she desired.

Every choice the Valley Master made was his own decision, with no regrets.
