185: have no choice

"Tang Familys Old Master, actually, I came here to discuss something with you." Wang Yi was quite direct and spoke his mind.

"Oh? Commander Wang, please don't be polite, just say it." Tang Familys Old Master waved his hand, signaling for the Tang Family Disciple to serve tea.

The Tang Family Disciples were very respectful, and they all stepped forward.

The Disciples respectfully served the tea, carefully placing the cups on the table.

"It's like this." Wang Yi stood up directly, performing a courtesy bow with clasped hands first. "Tang Familys Old Master, have you seen the Mulan Manor's order letter?"

"Order letter?" Tang Familys Old Master was puzzled.

After hearing this.

Tang Familys Old Master was somewhat curious; he paused slightly, then turned his head to look at the Tang Family's Disciples.

However, the Tang Family Disciples all shook their heads, having no idea what this order letter was.

"It seems Tang Familys Old Master hasn't received it yet. Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly." Wang Yi stood up straight, holding his head high.

This trip was for a Mulan Manor mission, and Wang Yi dared not show the slightest neglect.

Wang Yi's mission was crucial, allowing no room for carelessness.

"Before the Immortal Sect Tournament, Mulan Manor plans to establish branch offices in various locations. Currently, Mulan Manor already has thirty-six branches, and the thirty-seventh branch is planned to be built in Yunzhou City. I came here to discuss this matter with Tang Familys Old Master." Wang Yi adopted a respectful demeanor.

However, upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Tang Familys Old Master's eyes.

He had suspected Mulan Manor's people were up to no good earlier, and it seemed his suspicion was correct.

"In that case, what does Commander Wang mean?" Tang Familys Old Master feigned ignorance.

"It's simple. Mulan Manor hopes to establish a branch in Yunzhou City, and this requires Tang Familys Old Master's assistance." Wang Yi held his head high, looking at Tang Familys Old Master nearby.

After hearing this.

Tang Familys Old Master understood now: Mulan Manor was preparing to incorporate Yunzhou City into its sphere of influence.

And it was at this moment.

Tang Thirteen walked out, his brows tightly furrowed.

"What are you talking about? Yunzhou City belongs to the Tang Family. Why should your Mulan Manor come here to establish a branch?" Tang Thirteen scoffed. "Besides, if a branch is to be built, it should be a Tang Family branch, not Mulan Manor's!"

These words.

Tang Familys Old Master's heart trembled. Mulan Manor was immensely powerful, not a Family that ordinary Families could contend with.

"Thirteen, shut up and step back immediately." Tang Familys Old Master's Face darkened, and he let out a cold snort.

What Tang Thirteen said was correct, but angering Mulan Manor in this manner would bring no benefit to the Tang Family.

And Tang Familys Old Master did not want the Tang Family's foundation to be ruined in his hands like this.

It was at this moment.

Wang Yi strode forward, lightly tapping his toe, and stood directly in front of Tang Thirteen.

"This kid is interesting. What's your name?" Wang Yi asked curiously.

"What my name is, is none of your business!" Tang Thirteen looked disdainful and snorted coldly.

After saying this.

Tang Thirteen immediately turned his head away, ignoring Wang Yi.

At this moment, Wang Yi felt somewhat awkward, as this was happening in public.

Wang Yi, the dignified Commander of Mulan Manor, also needed Face! He couldn't just be humiliated by a little brat like this!

"Thirteen! Shut up! If you speak nonsense again, I'll confine you!" Tang Familys Old Master roared, his anger instantly flaring up.

Tang Familys Old Master felt utterly helpless; this boy didn't know how to behave.

If they angered Wang Yi now, and the Mulan Manor army attacked the Tang Family directly, wouldn't that mean annihilation?

This brat!

"Grandpa, why? Why are you scolding me? Mulan Manor is clearly bullying us!" Tang Thirteen was indignant, clenching his fists tightly.

Although Tang Thirteen was only thirteen years old, he understood right from wrong.

Mulan Manor was clearly here to bully them, yet the Tang Family kept yielding.

Tang Thirteen was very displeased with this approach.

"Commander Wang, children are ignorant. This brat is called Tang Thirteen." Tang Familys Old Master smiled slightly, stepping forward directly to pull Tang Thirteen away.

If Tang Thirteen continued to speak, death might be the only thing awaiting him.

Tang Familys Old Master certainly didn't want anything to happen to his precious grandson.

"Someone! Take the Young Master away!" Tang Familys Old Master said with a dark expression, letting out a cold snort.

Following this.

The Tang Family servants immediately stepped forward, daring not to be negligent.

Tang Thirteen kept speaking carelessly, and if he angered the people from Mulan Manor, it would bring the Tang Family absolutely no benefit.

The Tang Family servants moved quickly; in the blink of an eye, they had taken Tang Thirteen away.

"So this brat is called Tang Thirteen?" Wang Yi smirked, having memorized the name.

"Yes." Tang Familys Old Master chuckled weakly, forcing a smile.

Earlier, Tang Thirteen had caused Wang Yi to lose a lot of Face. If Tang Familys Old Master didn't show proper deference.

If the Mulan Manor army attacked directly, the Tang Family would truly be finished.

It would be a disaster leading to annihilation!

"I don't think that kid is very old, is he? Is he thirteen this year?" Wang Yi asked again.

"Yes, he is thirteen this year." Tang Familys Old Master smiled slightly.

"Then shouldn't this Tang Thirteen be called Tang Fourteen next year? And Tang Fifteen the year after?" Wang Yi turned around, a cold light flashing in his bright eyes as he stared intently at Tang Familys Old Master.

Upon hearing this.

Tang Familys Old Master naturally understood Wang Yi's meaning, but he dared not say anything more.

"Indeed, I had that thought." Tang Familys Old Master chuckled.

"But, I'm afraid your little grandson might not live past thirteen. Perhaps this boy will always be called Tang Thirteen," Wang Yi turned back and said faintly.

Hearing this, Tang Familys Old Master's heart trembled, and he immediately had a bad premonition.

Tang Familys Old Master slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing terror.

Tang Thirteen was the Tang Family's direct descendant Young Master, and the future successor of the Tang Family.

If anything happened to Tang Thirteen, it would be a devastating blow to the Tang Family.

Tang Familys Old Master understood in his heart that Mulan Manor was using Tang Thirteen as a threat.

But if the Tang Family disagreed, their manor would surely be drenched in blood today.

"Tang Familys Old Master, how long do you want this precious grandson of yours to live?" Wang Yi asked tentatively.

Wang Yi represented Mulan Manor in coming here, and everything he did was instructed by Mulan Manor's high-ranking officials.

"Naturally, until he lives a long life of a hundred years." Tang Familys Old Master chuckled.

"Very well, but that depends on Tang Familys Old Master's performance. If your performance is poor, I can't guarantee anything." Wang Yi curved his lips into a smile.
