11: Take action

How could a bunch of trash from a small place be worthy of him taking a second glance?

As for those seemingly flattering words...

In this world, the strong reign supreme; isn't that how it should be?

Just then, Wang Yan also walked into the reception hall.

He immediately noticed the rather awkward situation in the hall.

He saw the arrogant Liu Chenyang at a glance.

His eyes flickered.

Then he looked at Zhou Siyu, a hint of killing intent flashing in his dark eyes.

She really did come here to annul the engagement.

If he didn't step forward today, the Wang Family's face would surely be trampled underfoot.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment.

How greatly had the Wang Family favored her?

Even if she didn't repay them, she shouldn't return kindness with enmity.

However, now was not the time for him to question her.

Everything still needed to be carried out according to the Clan Chief's arrangements.

So, he walked silently behind Wang Qingyun.

It was as if all matters were under the Grand Elder's supervision.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chang and Zhou Siyu's eyes flickered subtly.

It seemed the time had come.

The atmosphere in the reception hall remained for a while.

Zhou Siyu finally couldn't sit still and spoke first.

"This time, Siyu has come for an urgent matter; I wish to see Clan Leader Wang."

"I wonder if the Grand Elder could invite him out? This niece would like to discuss matters with him."

Here it comes! Wang Qingyun's heart tightened instantly.

The Esteemed Elders present also grew tense.

Had they finally gotten to the main topic?

Wang Qingyun took a sip of tea and said, feigning difficulty.

"Niece, I'm afraid that won't be possible."

"Our Clan Chief is busy with a myriad of affairs and is currently handling urgent matters within the Family; I fear he is preoccupied and unavailable."

"If you have any urgent matters, you can tell this old man first. This old man can handle it for you just the same. Even if this old man cannot make the decision, there's no problem in relaying it to him afterward."

Wang Qingyun's words seemed watertight.

Yet, they immediately put Zhou Chang and Zhou Siyu's hearts at ease.

They were not surprised by such a reply.

They had even anticipated it before coming.

Zhou Siyu spoke once more.

"Although the Grand Elder is highly respected in the Wang Family, the matter I wish to discuss this time is not a trivial one."

"Grand Elder, you may not necessarily be able to make the decision."

Wang Qingyun chuckled.

"Niece, feel free to speak. If I truly cannot make the decision, I will naturally go and ask the Clan Chief for instructions."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Siyu no longer wasted time.

She immediately spoke up.

"This time, I mainly want to discuss the annulment of the engagement with Wang Yan."

"You see, this marriage was personally arranged by Clan Leader Wang Dong back then, which is why I wished to speak directly with him."

Zhou Siyu's calm words echoed throughout the reception hall.

The next moment, the hall fell silent.

After a while, Wang Qingyun slowly said.

"Annul the engagement? Great-niece, it seems the recent rumors are true."

"Naturally." Zhou Siyu said calmly and indifferently.

"If that's the case, then please wait for me for a moment."

"I will first inform the Clan Chief; he will naturally come to meet you once he has finished his important matters."

Wang Qingyun's expression completely turned cold.

He no longer bothered with false pleasantries.

But as his voice fell.

The sound of a breaking cup suddenly echoed in the hall.

"What is this?! A trash Family, merely a Clan Chief, dares to put on such airs."

"You should know that even people from the City Lord's Mansion offer a cup of Dao Comprehension Tea to those from my Qingxuan Sect, yet here, we only get some garbage Spiritual Tea..."

"Such a lack of hospitality, and you repeatedly make us waste time."

"Are you trying to infringe upon the prestige of the Qingxuan Sect?"

As these words came out, a tense, gunpowder-like atmosphere immediately permeated the air.

Wang Qingyun and the others' expressions instantly turned cold.

The Spiritual Qi within their bodies was ready to be unleashed.

There were signs of a fight breaking out at any disagreement.

Just then, Wang Gou's eyes suddenly flickered.

The opportunity had arrived.

The Dao of Gou (Gou) was not about repeatedly retreating.

Instead, it was about being cautious while not losing the spirit of advancement.

At this moment, his Aura had already reached its Peak state.

If he didn't act now, the plan might not be easy to continue implementing.

Wang Gou naturally stood up from his seat.

Then, with his hands clasped behind his back, in the manner of an expert, he slowly walked in front of Liu Chenyang.

The next moment, he curled his lips slightly, his gaze rising.

He kicked over the table in front of him.

"Just a mere Qingxuan Sect, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me."

"Let alone Spiritual Tea, even if there isn't any, you'd have to drink urine if I told you to."

Wang Gou's words were full of courage.

But in reality, his mind was already calculating the force he had used this time.

If he used too much force, it might have the opposite effect.

What he needed to do now was to temporarily scare these two people.

The hall instantly fell into dead silence.

Wang Yan was completely stunned, and even Wang Qingyun was at a loss for words for a moment.

He had followed Clan Chief Wang Dong's arrangements and brought this Family member over.

He was told to perform well, and this was how he performed?

Wang Qingyun couldn't help but feel a little exasperated.

This guy was truly brave enough.

A mere Body Tempering Realm Seventh Level dared to curse a Personal Disciple of a Purple Mansion True Person.

Just this kind of courage was already quite extraordinary.

However, this performance was quite different from what he had expected when he arrived.

On the other side, Liu Chenyang's face had completely swollen to a purplish-red color.

He clenched his hands into fists.

He squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Heh heh! What great audacity."

"A mere Body Tempering Realm trash, dares to spout such nonsense in front of me."

"Since that's the case, then you can just die."

As his voice fell, a powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuation instantly erupted.

A large net completely condensed from Spiritual Qi directly extended towards Wang Gou.

Up, down, left, right, there was almost no place to escape.

The furious strike of a Core Formation Realm expert was terrifyingly powerful.

If Wang Gou took this blow, he would have no chance of survival.

Wang Qingyun, who was nearby, was already prepared and was about to reach out to stop it.

He encountered an even more terrifying Divine Sense power that directly pierced through the entire hall.

In an instant, the giant net condensed from Spiritual Qi was directly crushed into powder.

Liu Chenyang's expression instantly changed drastically, and he couldn't help but shriek.

"This is actually a Purple Mansion Realm expert? How is this possible?"

He was born in the Qingxuan Sect and had extraordinary insight.

His teacher was even a Purple Mansion True Person.
