253: The Royal Family's Civil War

Zhou Luo resolved the group of attackers as easily as a breeze and began cleaning up the battlefield, collecting the Storage Pouches from their bodies.

Lin Xi was comforting Li Ying, telling her not to lose her composure too much.

She had long known of Zhou Luo's strength, so she wasn't surprised by this outcome.

Li Ying, however, was a concern; if she were to leak this news, it might be disadvantageous for Zhou Luo. Thus, Lin Xi was subtly hinting for her not to expose today's events.

Zhou Luo wasn't actually worried about this point.

Because he had decided to keep Li Ying in the Immortal City, where she would be by his side and looked after by Lin Xi. Even if she wanted to inform her Family, she would have no way to do so.

A moment later, Zhou Luo had finished collecting the pile of Storage Pouches.

The Lu Family had lost an Elder and some elites this time; presumably, their decisive battle with the Lin Family would be delayed again.

"Let's go." Zhou Luo flipped onto his horse and led the two women toward the Immortal City.

On the way, Li Ying kept looking at his back with a complex expression, her thoughts unknown.

Two days later, the three of them arrived at Qingyuan Immortal City.

When they saw this magnificent and majestic giant city with their own eyes, both Lin Xi and Li Ying showed immense shock on their Faces.

This was much larger and more grand than any city they had ever seen.

After a simple registration, the two women were even more shaken by the sight of the bustling streets and the endless stream of Cultivators.

This shock lasted until they reached Fengyuan Residence.

"We will live here from now on." Zhou Luo opened the courtyard gate and led the two women inside.

This villa was actually quite large, but because Zhou Luo was the only one living there, it felt a bit cold and empty.

If Yao Wu hadn't visited daily to clean up or prune the flowers and plants, it would likely have been even more lonely.

Zhou Luo released Little White and began introducing the villa to the two women.

Fengyuan Residence had a main building, while the sides of the courtyard contained the kitchen, storage rooms, and other chambers.

The main building had three floors. The first level was mainly for receiving guests and daily life, the Second Level was the living quarters, and the third level was protected by a Formation set up by Zhou Luo, which only he could enter.

This layout was no different from Zhou Garden, only smaller and less grand.

After arriving, Lin Xi began organizing Li Ying to familiarize themselves with the environment, quickly stepping into the role of the mistress of the house.

Over the next few days, Lin Xi and Li Ying organized the place perfectly, giving the entire Fengyuan Residence a bit more Life Qi.

Indeed, a home still needs a woman.

One day, Wang Lang came to visit after learning that Zhou Luo had returned.

Opening the courtyard gate, he caught sight of Lin Xi's peerless beauty and couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

Although Lin Xi was now over fifty years old, under the influence of her Realm and the help of Face-Preserving Pills, her appearance hadn't changed much, and she had gained the unique charm of a mature woman.

Wang Lang immediately realized her identity, quickly withdrew his gaze, and bowed respectfully: "Sister-in-law."

Since their last conversation over wine, Wang Lang and Zhou Luo's relationship had become much more harmonious. Without the burden in his heart, he acted with more ease.

"My husband is inside," Lin Xi said with a slight smile.

"Alright."

In front of Lin Xi, Wang Lang instantly transformed from a wild, freedom-loving rogue into a restrained and honest man.

Once inside, seeing Zhou Luo studying Gu techniques, he resumed his usual demeanor.

"Well now, Brother Zhou, you've actually hidden such a beauty in your golden house!"

He laughed loudly as he sat down in front of Zhou Luo, teasing him.

Zhou Luo put down the ancient book and looked at him: "Didn't you know I had a wife?"

"I knew, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so beautiful. Tsk tsk, no wonder Brother Zhou doesn't like visiting brothels," Wang Lang marveled.

Since he no longer felt constrained around Zhou Luo, his speech had become quite flippant, which was also part of his nature.

Just as he finished speaking, Li Ying brought spirit tea to Wang Lang.

Seeing this equally stunning and beautiful woman, Wang Lang thought of his own three women and felt an urge to cough up blood.

Good heavens!

Is the quality of this guy's women all this good?

And it seems this guy also married that decent-looking Third Young Miss.

This is just too impressive.

Compared to him, I'm practically nothing.

No wonder this guy isn't interested in Xu Tian next door; it turns out his wives and concubines are each more beautiful than the last.

"You've come at the right time. Take these things and help me sell them."

Zhou Luo took the Storage Pouches of the Lu Family group from his storage ring.

Seeing the unique Lu Family markings on the Storage Pouches, Wang Lang said in surprise, "You killed this many Lu Family members?"

Zhou Luo did not answer.

Wang Lang didn't ask further, but after putting away the Storage Pouches, he said to Zhou Luo, "However, the situation for the Lin Family is still not optimistic."

Although he wasn't in the Wang Family, he still understood the struggles between the Chang Sheng Families.

Hearing this, Zhou Luo suddenly remembered something and asked, "Has something happened to the Wang Family?"

Currently, the Zhang and Lu families were joined together, yet the Wang Family, as the Lin Family's ally, had never sent much support, which made him curious.

"That matter? It's just the Wang Family reaping what they sowed," Wang Lang shrugged, his words lacking even a hint of reverence for his Family.

From his narration, Zhou Luo finally learned the truth.

The Wang Family was currently in the midst of internal conflict.

The reason for the internal conflict was precisely Wang Yuwei.

It turned out that since Wang Yuwei joined the Azure Spring True Sect and went to the Golden Cloud Domain, she hadn't cut off contact with her Family.

Although the Wang Family immediately released her mother and provided treatment,

How could the matter of the Family harming this mother and daughter be resolved so easily?

So Wang Yuwei began to pressure the Family, demanding punishment for those who had imprisoned Wang Fang back then.

But those people were now high-level members of the Wang Family, and some had even attained the position of Elder.

Wasn't punishing them as difficult as ascending to the heavens?

However, standing behind Wang Yuwei was a Golden Core True Person, and she possessed a special Physique and was extremely favored; even the Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor of the Wang Family had to give Face.

If this matter wasn't handled well, it might cause Wang Yuwei's dissatisfaction. If she became unhappy and cut off ties with the Wang Family, the loss would outweigh the gain.

So the entire Wang Family was frantic over this matter.

Especially in recent years, high-level Elders who supported Wang Yuwei had appeared in the Family. Combined with Wang Fang's recovery, it had caused the interior of the Wang Family to become a mess.

After hearing the introduction, Zhou Luo nodded slightly.

The Wang Family was indeed suffering the consequences of their own actions.

They wanted to display Family authority while also keeping Wang Yuwei, a Genius, so they imprisoned Wang Fang instead of executing her to control her.

If Wang Yuwei hadn't found an Opportunity, she might have truly been constrained by the Wang Family.

But now, she had been taken as a Disciple by a Golden Core True Person, and her status had skyrocketed. The Wang Family's scheme had somewhat backfired on them.

"Fortunately, I escaped early. This Family really isn't a place for humans to stay," Wang Lang seemed to have no affection for his Family at all.

Zhou Luo wasn't very interested in this; he just told him to hurry up and sell the loot.
