5: You are not a simple uncle.

Wang Dong spoke earnestly.

A warmth flowed through Wang Yan’s heart, and with only a slight hesitation, he received it with both hands.

If Wang Dong had wanted to give him something else, he might not have accepted it.

But he truly lacked Cultivation resources.

What he hadn't expected was that this was only the beginning for Wang Dong.

Next, his eyes completely widened.

Wang Dong merely extended a hand, and surprisingly, he grabbed another Earth-Grade High Grade Martial Skill, along with a top-tier Magical Artifact, placing them all into Wang Yan’s hands.

“Take these things with you as well. You may use them in your spare time, but remember to be diligent.”

Wang Dong instructed again.

“Wang Yan will not fail Big Uncle’s expectations.”

Wang Yan respectfully bowed to Wang Dong.

Wang Dong waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to mind the etiquette.

At the same time, the System’s prompt sounded in his mind.

“Ding! Investment successful. Received 60 bottles of Soul Condensing Pills, one Heaven-Grade Low Grade Martial Skill, and one Low Grade Magic Treasure. They have been stored in the System space and can be retrieved at any time.”

Not bad!

Wang Dong was very satisfied with the rewards.

He then led Wang Yan and turned to leave the Wang Family’s treasure vault.

They talked as they walked.

“Do you know about the Zhou Family coming to break off the engagement?”

“Big Uncle, I am already aware.”

“How will you choose?”

Wang Yan was stunned for a moment.

He had never expected that Big Uncle would entrust this matter entirely to him?

He pondered for a moment before hesitantly saying, “If she truly comes to break off the engagement, Wang Yan will defend the Family’s honor to the death.”

After speaking, Wang Yan bowed to Wang Dong.

“Big Uncle, I, Wang Yan, am not a heartless person from a branch Family. If such a thing truly happens, even if I die, I will not let the Family be shamed.”

Wang Dong shook his head and smiled.

“My child, why go to such extremes?”

“With your current Cultivation, that Zhou Family member is probably not even as good as you. Why do you need to speak so seriously?”

“As for honor, it doesn’t matter. As long as you Cultivate diligently, you will naturally reclaim what you have lost now in the future.”

“However, this matter is not as simple as you think.”

Wang Yan deeply agreed with Wang Dong’s viewpoint.

However, he immediately felt a bit confused. Listening to Big Uncle’s meaning...

Was there more to this matter that he didn’t know about?

Seeing the curious expression on Wang Yan’s face.

Wang Dong smiled and explained, “This must be the Zhou Family trying to test if I am still alive. If I am not, they will likely take this opportunity to annex my Wang Family.”

“What? How can they be so ungrateful?”

Wang Yan’s heart was shaken, and he turned pale with fright.

During these fifteen years, as the object of the marriage alliance, he had always known how much Wang Family had given to the Zhou Family.

Zhou Siyu alone consumed 1/9 of the Wang Family’s resources.

It was the entire Wang Family’s resources, all used to supply one person.

The vast quantity involved was imaginable.

It was not an exaggeration to say that they had shown Zhou Siyu a kindness akin to rebirth.

Without the strong support of the Wang Family’s resources, even with Zhou Siyu’s high talent, she would only be an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple in the Qingxuan Sect.

How could she be so high-profile now?

This outcome was something he had never expected.

But now it was revealed by his Big Uncle.

Wang Yan was anxious for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief.

Since Big Uncle had returned, even if there was a conspiracy, the impact would likely be small.

Wang Dong did not try to guess what Wang Yan was thinking.

Instead, a cold glint shot from his eyes.

“I don’t care how many emotional ties you and Zhou Siyu have had these past few years.”

“But right now, this is a matter of life and death, and I hope you can make the correct choice.”

Wang Dong only said this much.

However, Wang Yan’s heart was in torment.

He indeed had many feelings for Zhou Siyu.

This was also why, when he first heard that Zhou Siyu was coming to break off the engagement, he didn’t quite believe it.

But, according to what Big Uncle said, if Zhou Siyu really came to break off the engagement, then they would truly be enemies.

Wang Yan, who had originally intended to mediate, couldn’t help but harden his heart.

Big Uncle had treated him so well, and the Family had also treated him generously.

If it truly came to this point.

He would naturally display all his strength on the day of the engagement annulment.

He would personally defeat her, and even kill her!

He wasn’t doing it to announce his return as a Genius to the world.

It was merely to uphold the Family’s dignity.

A look of determination appeared in Wang Yan’s eyes.

Romantic affections and emotions were merely minor matters.

After a short while, however, he suddenly remembered something else.

Would doing this bring danger to the Family?

After all, that Zhou Siyu was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect.

If she died here for no reason, people would definitely be sent to demand an explanation.

At that time, wouldn’t it bring disaster to the Family again?

Wang Yan felt somewhat conflicted.

Wang Dong saw the struggle on his face and thought he was still clinging to old affections.

He was about to warn him a few words.

Suddenly, he heard Wang Yan ask in a deep voice, “Big Uncle, if the Qingxuan Sect sends people to demand an explanation, how should we handle ourselves?”

Wang Dong smiled faintly at his words.

“It’s merely a small matter. I am a Purple Mansion True Person, and the Qingxuan Sect will not deliberately make things difficult for me. Even if someone comes, it will likely just be a Purple Mansion True Person, that Zhou Siyu’s master.”

“As fellow Purple Mansion True Persons, what do I have to fear?”

Wang Dong’s words, though extremely calm, exuded an overbearing aura.

He was not an ordinary Immortal Master who had just advanced to Purple Mansion.

His body, cleansed by Medicinal Pills, not only healed all old injuries but also made his Foundation even more solid.

He seemed to have just broken into Purple Mansion, but his accumulated reserves were clearly no less than some veteran Purple Mansion True Persons.

Wang Yan couldn’t help but be infected by his Big Uncle’s imposing aura.

Immediately, he gained more courage for the things he wanted to do in his heart.

He immediately cupped his fists and said, “Big Uncle, if Zhou Siyu truly comes to break off the engagement, Wang Yan will definitely ensure she never returns!”

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

A strange smile appeared on his face.

What did that mean?

Was he planning to directly kill that little girl?

Wang Dong’s pupils were somewhat deep.

In a trance, he recalled what the little girl Zhou Siyu looked like when she was young.

It seemed that Wang Yan would not be able to complete the full 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river' protagonist template.

After a long while, the two chatted a few more times before returning to their respective rooms.

Just at this moment.

The ring on Wang Yan’s hand flashed, and then the voice of Venerable Yaoshen came out.

“This Purple Mansion True Person is not simple. I strongly suspect he already knows about me, but he has never brought it up.”

Venerable Yaoshen’s solemn tone immediately startled Wang Yan.

“Master, do you mean that Big Uncle discovered you?”

“More or less. He probed multiple times with his words, and he has even confirmed that I am on this ring. Later, he deliberately gave you a way out. Your Big Uncle is not simple.”

“With such a Purple Mansion True Person guarding the Family, I can’t understand why your Family would fall to this point.”
