"Damn it!" Liu Yongzhou slammed his fist down, shattering the stone table, his eyes bloodshot and vicious. His father had even sacrificed his life for the family. And Liu Yongzhou, he couldn’t even count how many contributions he’d made. Legitimate son Liu Yonghao! What skills did that brat have? Publicly defeated by an eleven-year-old girl in a few moves. Such a worthless person, how could he be qualified to embark on the Spirit Platform path? Still, Luoxian was right, this family was filthy and despicable. Luoxian, thank goodness for Luoxian. In Liu Yongzhou’s eyes, a strong sense of hope appeared, quickly turning into a resolute look as he murmured angrily, "Liu Shengye, all of this is what the Liu Family owes me and my father. I’m just taking back what’s rightfully mine." The blanket of night covered the land. In a world without light pollution, the starry sky was magnificent and the moonlight enchanting. The world was silent, with only a steed galloping on the country road, the urgent sound of hooves seemingly echoing the rider’s eager emotions. Rider Liu Yongzhou couldn’t wait to see her. His heart was filled with a fiery passion, blazing with hope for the future. After marrying into the family, he would surely train hard, become a Spirit Platform Realm as soon as possible, and not disgrace Luoxian. With the horse spurred on, he arrived at Xia Garden. Liu Yongzhou dismounted, didn’t bother to announce himself, vaulted over the wall, heading straight for the Lotus Listening Pavilion. "Luoxian, I’m here..." Liu Yongzhou’s voice halted abruptly, his pupils contracted and face changed dramatically. The scene before his eyes was... Inside the lotus pavilion at the Lotus Listening Pavilion. Two men in gorgeous clothing were leisurely enjoying the moonlight and sipping tea. The goddess in his heart, Zhong Luoxian, was serving them obediently by holding a teapot, pouring tea for them like a maid. Most terrifyingly, there were large bloodstains on the pavilion floor, and a delicate brocade box was placed on the stone table they were drinking tea at. "Wang Shouzhe, Tantai Heyu." Liu Yongzhou shouted angrily, his face pale, "What are you doing here? Let go of Miss Luoxian!" Wang Shouzhe put down the teacup, gently pointed at the brocade box, "Yoongzhou, you’re a bit late. Look, all the summer lotuses in the pond are withered. Also, your brother Zhao Dingtian has gone ahead of you." Liu Yongzhou felt cold all over, shocked and furious, "Wang Shouzhe, what exactly do you want?" "What do I want? Let me first ask, what have you done?" Wang Shouzhe laughed, pulling out a stack of papers from his pocket, seemingly filled with writing, casually pulling out one, "In the autumn of the 3140th year of Great Qian Prosperity, a traveling merchant was buying goods at too high a price, infringing on the Liu family’s interests. Liu Shengye sent you and your father to cruelly kill him two miles outside Dingpu Ferry and seize his belongings, with a total value of about 300 Qian Gold." Liu Yongzhou trembled instantly, shouting sharply, "Wang Shouzhe, you’re slandering me. Luoxian, Luoxian, don’t believe him." Wang Shouzhe ignored him, continued pulling out a paper, "In the summer of Changlong 3142, your fishing team discovered an isolated merchant ship. You used your excellent Water Escape Technique to first pierce the ship’s bottom, causing a shipwreck and pretending to save them. Upon discovering valuable silk on board, you ruthlessly murdered thirteen people and seized the goods. Most appalling, two young women guests were taken away by you, their whereabouts still unknown." Liu Yongzhou staggered, having kept this secret so hidden, only a few confidants knew. How did Wang Shouzhe find out? Then, Wang Shouzhe took paper after paper, listing all of Liu Yongzhou’s misdeeds over the years, his face growing colder. In the end, he grew tired of reading and simply slammed the charges onto the table, speaking coldly, "Liu Yongzhou, I’ll give you a chance to explain." "Luoxian, don’t believe him, it’s all slander. They’re trying to divide us because the Wang Family is our enemy. Luoxian, Luoxian, say something." Liu Yongzhou shouted hysterically. "I’m sorry." Wang Shouzhe slowly stood up, walking step by step towards Liu Yongzhou, his seemingly calm eyes filled with intense killing intent, "Most of this evidence was helped by Luoxian to investigate and confirm." "What?" Liu Yongzhou took several steps back in shock and disbelief. "Patriarch, this is what I should do." ’Zhong Luoxian’ said flatteringly, "It’s my honor to do things for the patriarch." "Pfft! Zhong Luoxian, you tricked me." Liu Yongzhou flushed, spitting out blood. He was considered a shrewd person, and at this point, he couldn’t see he had been duped. Driven by instinct, he retreated hastily, escaping, escaping the scene. The sound of a sword rang out, and Wang Shouzhe’s figure soared through the air, graceful and swift, like a hawk in flight. "Clang! Clang! Clang!" At the critical moment of crisis, Liu Yongzhou’s potential erupted, drawing the Water-Splitting Needle from his waist and blocking several strikes. Eventually, he couldn’t withstand the continuous and increasingly strong outbursts of the Profound Origin Sword. In mid-air, he spewed blood and flew backward, falling towards a pond of withered lotus. But before he could fall, the white Sword Aura flashed twice more. In the final moment of his life, Liu Yongzhou only felt his head flying, his body caught by Wang Shouzhe and thrown onto the bank. His head landed in the pond among the withered lotuses. It all happened very quickly. Wang Mei swiftly followed, not bothering the patriarch, searching the body. Then, placing the spoils and a brocade box on the stone table. "Gulp!" Chen Fangjie, witnessing Wang Shouzhe kill someone for the second time, was still frightened by his clean and swift action. This future brother-in-law, whether his intelligence or strength, was truly terrifying. Chen Fangjie felt that even if he tried with all his might, he might not be his match. In the future, as his brother-in-law, he’d have to tread carefully, not daring to make a single misstep. "Patriarch, it’s been checked. The Celestial Spirit Pill, along with the two auxiliary Spirit Pills, the Body-Protecting Pill and Spirit Blood Pill, are all here." Wang Mei was overjoyed, after plotting for so long, putting so much effort, it was all for this moment. "Well done, Wang Mei." Wang Shouzhe also let out a sigh of relief, forcibly suppressing his ecstatic mood. After plotting for so long, having obtained two Celestial Spirit Pills and all the auxiliary materials was enough to put the Wang Family on the express track to prosperity. Seeing this, Chen Fangjie’s eyelid twitched, swallowing his saliva. These were Celestial Spirit Pills, their East Port Chen Family would have to save many years for one. But this future brother-in-law managed to get two in one go. "Do you want it?" Wang Shouzhe first put away one brocade box, then looked at Chen Fangjie with a smile. "Yes, yes, yes, while our Chen Family doesn’t have the money right now, I can write an IOU, use it as collateral." Chen Fangjie nodded repeatedly, "As long as the price is a bit cheaper." "Hehe~" Wang Shouzhe then put away another brocade box, "This time, there’s nothing for you." In an instant, Chen Fangjie’s mindset almost exploded, no wonder Shouzhe didn’t let him join the final act, fearing he couldn’t handle it! Regret! Shouldn’t have come. As the saying goes, what the eyes don’t see, the heart won’t fret. Chen Fangjie could only say sourly, "Shouzhe, your plan seems good, but ultimately too risky. With my two more years of experience than you, I’m telling you, especially in these final moments, your layout isn’t appropriate. What if they found out? What if an ancestral-level figure came along? You should’ve told me earlier, I could’ve asked our family ancestor for help, splitting the spoils thirty percent for me!" "Shouzhe is ultimately too young, remember this next time, it’s better to be safe than sorry. You’re just too stingy. This matter you must..." Before the words were finished, Wang Shouzhe clasped his hands, speaking solemnly, "Ancestor Longyan, the matter is settled, we can leave." Long, Ancestor Longyan? Chen Fangjie chuckled, "Shouzhe, are you teasing me?" Suddenly, his whole body shuddered, his face changed. He saw a figure, elegant and serene, silently descending in the night, cold eyes behind a veil glancing at Chen Fangjie coldly, "Your Chen Family’s ancestor, stronger than me?" "Child Fangjie, pays respect to Ancestor Longyan. Meeting the ancestor unexpectedly, I am immensely excited, overjoyed, it’s like seeing the morning star in the long night. Fangjie wishes the ancestor eternal peace, eternal well-being." Then, Chen Fangjie, being very clever, truly knelt down, with an expression of extreme reverence, his eyes excited, kowtowing devoutly. How could he not be devout? Offending her, and even his future wife would be gone~
