After the incident at Xia Garden’s Lotus Listening Pavilion, a few more days passed. During this time, the Liu and Zhao Clans seemed to have fallen into silence, regardless of what actions the Wang Family took, they continued to endure and endure again. As if they had suddenly transformed into two wounded tigers lurking in the shadows, licking their wounds and preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Wang Family when the opportunity arose. With Wang Shouzhe’s methods, naturally, such a favorable development couldn’t be missed. Wave after wave of propaganda campaigns continued to unfold in the Ping’an Town area. Using military and public water supply promotion strategies, in a short time, the causes and consequences of the battle at the gates of the Wang Family’s Main Residence that day, and the different behaviors of the three noble families were spread throughout Ping’an Town. Public opinion wars! Propaganda wars! Many commoners began to eagerly talk and pass around stories of the Wang Family’s history, the tale of Ancestor Zhou Xuan heading south to establish Ping’an Town, and the heroic sacrifice of Ancestor Zhou Xuan to fend off the Tier Five Demon Beast, Golden-winged Sun-devouring Tiger. From fifty years ago, many of those who experienced that great disaster firsthand have passed away. Even those who were alive were mostly children at the time or have unclear memories, not understanding the actual circumstances. Under the vast propaganda offense of the Wang Family, the twenty thousand commoners of Ping’an Town. Only then did they gradually realize that Ping’an Town was actually developed by Ancestor Zhou Xuan of the Wang Family and his clansmen, who spent nearly a hundred years. The Liu and Zhao Clans were originally two destitute households that couldn’t make it in the Commandery city and came halfway to seek refuge in the Wang Family as laborers. They came to further understand the circumstances surrounding the disaster fifty years ago. Not only did the Liu and Zhao Clans play dead, but they also let fierce beasts in, causing the deaths of many commoners, even leading to the deaths of Ancestor Zhou Xuan and Ancestor Qiong Yuan. The Wang Family’s reputation and prestige were rapidly rising. Meanwhile, the evil name of the Liu and Zhao Clans was spreading continuously. When many mentioned the Liu and Zhao Clans, they couldn’t help but spit to show disdain and disgust. No wonder, in any era, any world, human nature is consistent; everyone admires heroes and despises and abhors insidious villains. Wang Shouzhe was in the side hall of his courtyard. He leisurely handled family affairs. After completing his daily cultivation and replenishing with spiritual food, his spirit was exceptionally vigorous. This is also considered a benefit of cultivation; a consistent daily practice of the Profound Origin Technique not only enhances physical qualities and profound qi but also prolongs life, keeping the body in a peak state for a long time. "Patriarch, please have some tea." The servant Wang Gui routinely brewed some spirit tea. Today’s choice was Cloud Mist Spirit Species; the tea was as gentle as water, with a swallow that seemed to permeate even the five viscera and six bowels. Wang Gui himself was quite fond of this spirit tea. Of course, Wang Gui dared not and would not secretly take some spirit tea for his own enjoyment. However, being close to the well, he could fully enjoy the leftover tea from the patriarch, which was tasteless yet a pity to discard. Even though it was leftover tea, it had some effects, so how could it be wasted? Until it was completely devoid of taste, it could be rendered into tea soup and consumed whole... Different spirit teas have different flavors, but Wang Shouzhe also favored Cloud Mist Spirit Species. While drinking this Cloud Mist Spirit Species, he would always recall his yet-unseen fiancee, Miss Liua. Unlike the choice of marriage in the direct vein, where there is a wide selection and some autonomy for men and women to pick and choose among various candidates. The marriages in the legitimate lineage are more related to the family’s future direction, hence nearly impossible to make choices. Thus, both Wang Shouzhe and Miss Liua passively accepted each other’s existence. However, after a small, silent interaction, Wang Shouzhe developed some affection for her. As he drank the Cloud Mist Spirit Species, feeling pleasant, he leisurely updated the system panel, specifically the family’s reputation column. [Clan Prestige]: [Village Reputation (90) Respected Far and Wide][County Reputation (29) Slightly Known][Commandery Reputation (00) Obscure] The reason the Village Reputation didn’t reach the full score of 100 is naturally in line with the system’s consistent principle; the closer the data gets to completion, the harder it is to rise. Furthermore, the Liu and Zhao Clans haven’t been eradicated; the Wang Family hasn’t reached the level of "one hand covering the sky". The improvement in County Reputation is naturally even more challenging. To reach the level of "respected far and wide" in County Reputation, at least one Celestial Human Realm ancestor must be within the family. Therefore, this time an addition of 8 points, reaching 29, is the maximum possible. "Hmm, the improvement is not bad." Wang Shouzhe looked at the updated reputation template, drinking Cloud Mist Spirit Tea, feeling quite satisfied with recent achievements. As long as he pushes harder to eradicate the Liu and Zhao Clans, the Wang Family could truly dominate within Ping’an Town. In Liu Family’s main residence, within a courtyard where clan members reside. The young talent Liu Yongzhou had an extremely ugly expression as he gulped down alcohol. Recently, too many things had happened, like the rise of the Wang Family and his father’s death. Everything, everything changed too quickly. But what surprised him the most was Liu Shengye’s attitude towards him. When he slightly probed, Patriarch Liu Shengye seemed somewhat impatient, full of perfunctory. Later, he recalled Luoxian’s words. Following her suggestion, he got Liu Yonghao drunk and learned a shocking news from his mouth. It turns out the person chosen to follow the path of Spirit Platform after Liu Shenghao in the family had already been internally decided to be the legitimate son Liu Yonghao. Meanwhile, he, Liu Yongzhou, was merely a pawn casually used by Liu Shengye on the chessboard.
