41: Wang Changfeng's plan

Fengyan County!

Fengyan Marquis Estate, study!

“Marquis, the matter of the Qingjian Sect has been confirmed. The Purple Winged Eagle that appeared that day was indeed the Purple Winged Eagle from the Xuan Ling Mountain Range! As for who came that day, Feng Qingzi didn't say!”

“I was afraid that the Qingjian Sect had a connection with that person, so I didn't press them! However, judging from Feng Qingzi's tone, it's clear that the Qingjian Sect is confident and not afraid of our Marquis Estate. Therefore, my subordinate speculates that that person truly has a deep connection with the Qingjian Sect!”

The Fengyan Marquis Estate's butler was currently reporting the results of the Qingjian Sect visit to Wang Changfeng.

After listening, Wang Changfeng's expression was solemn. When an uncontrollable factor appeared in his county, the best solution was usually to eliminate the opponent, but the current Qingjian Sect was clearly not suitable.

King, for Martial Artists in Nanzhou, this was a supreme name; even in Zhongzhou, it was a powerful existence.

If not for this, he wouldn't have gone against his Great Ancestor's command and broken off the engagement with Xu Qing after Wang Yan's King Realm Awakening.

“If that's truly the case, then this Qingjian Sect cannot be ignored in the future! How about this, you go to the estate treasury and select some Heaven And Earth Treasure to send to the Qingjian Sect!”

Since they couldn't be eliminated, he would befriend them!

“Yes, Marquis!” The butler responded.

Just as he was about to withdraw, he remembered something and brought it up again, “Marquis, there's also news about the Xu Family!”

“Oh? Speak!”

Wang Changfeng asked upon hearing this.

The butler replied, “Reporting to the Marquis, that Xu Qing and his younger brother Xu Yuan are Disciples of the Qingjian Sect. However, Xu Qing has already left the Sect, but Xu Yuan is the Qingjian Sect's designated Young Lord, though he has now been honored as the Honorary Sect Leader!”

“What? Why didn't you say so earlier!” Wang Changfeng's eyes changed.

The butler dared not say more, lowering his head to admit his mistake.

If it were in the past, let alone an Honorary Sect Leader, even the Qingjian Sect Leader, he wouldn't have cared.

However, times were different now. The Qingjian Sect's status had been infinitely elevated in Wang Changfeng's heart due to that mysterious existence.

A more important reason was, what reason could make a Sect directly honor a fourteen-year-old boy as an Honorary Sect Leader?

Even if Xu Yuan's talent was strong, at most he would only be a Young Sect Leader. The Qingjian Sect's current actions clearly indicated that Xu Yuan must have a reason for them to do so!

Was it strength? Or talent? Or perhaps his background?

Thinking of this, Wang Changfeng's expression was no longer as composed as before.

The matter of breaking off the engagement was a decision he made with the Elders, and it was still kept from his Great Ancestor. They intended to wait until the Great Ancestor came out of seclusion, by which time the matter would be a foregone conclusion, making it too late to regret. At most, they would have another direct daughter marry Xu Qing then!

But the appearance of Xu Yuan made him frown deeply.

“I want all information on Xu Yuan!”

“Your subordinate has already collected it!” The butler quickly took out a piece of intelligence.

Wang Changfeng took it, and a moment later, his expression was incredibly solemn.

The information showed that Xu Yuan's Cultivation talent was originally only Profound Grade high-level, but after the Xu Family's upheaval, his personality changed drastically, and he began to take on various missions and undergo tempering.

A few months ago, Xu Yuan obtained some Opportunity. When he reappeared, he was already at the seventh layer of Meridian Opening. After returning to the Sect, he gained the recognition of a Spirit Treasure left by the Qingjian Sect's Founding Ancestral Master, and then Cultivated in the Sect's secret realm.

Until he came out of seclusion a few months ago to attend a Family banquet, his Cultivation had already reached the tenth layer of Meridian Opening. After that, he stayed in the Xu Family to Cultivate, and then the Qingjian Sect experienced this incident.

Thus, it was clearly talent, but for the other party to become an Honorary Sect Leader, it still left Wang Changfeng somewhat perplexed.

“Are there any girls of similar age in the direct line?” Wang Changfeng asked.

Upon hearing this, the butler naturally understood Wang Changfeng's meaning, and as a member of the Wang clan, he was also very clear about the clan's affairs.

“Third Grandpa's Young Miss Yanning, Fourth Branch's Young Miss Yan'an, and Young Miss Yanle are all of similar age to Xu Yuan, and all possess Spirit Grade Aptitude!” The butler quickly gave Wang Changfeng the answer he wanted.

Moreover, the three people he chose were not those with extremely poor talent. He knew that Wang Changfeng was investing, so he chose Geniuses with Spirit Grade Aptitude.

Wang Changfeng was very satisfied after hearing this. This Xu Yuan was clearly not of Profound Grade Aptitude. Marrying him to a clan girl with Spirit Grade Aptitude was not bad. Furthermore, when his Great Ancestor came out of seclusion, he believed that he would also understand.

“Then let it be Yan'an! That girl is delicate and humble, quite suitable! As for the Fourth Branch, give them some compensation!”

“On this trip, two things! First, befriend the Qingjian Sect; second, establish a marriage alliance with the Xu Family, and also foster good relations with the Xu Family!”

Because of Xu Yuan, Wang Changfeng had no choice but to once again attach importance to the Xu Family.

This wasn't him making a mountain out of a molehill, but rather, he had always been cautious in his actions and good at investing. In the decades since he became the Fengyan Marquis, he had made the Wang Family prosper, all thanks to his foresight.

This time, his intuition told him that marrying into the Xu Family would bring unexpected benefits to the Wang Family.

And all these speculations stemmed from that mysterious King Realm existence.

Although his daughter had joined the Jade Maiden Palace, and with this connection, many King Realm forces dared not touch the Wang Family, and instead befriended them, Wang Changfeng did not allow the clan Disciples to act recklessly.

Because he deeply knew that all of this was due to his daughter joining the Jade Maiden Palace. If the clan provoked a ruthless person, then the extermination of the clan would be but a moment away!

“Yes, Marquis!”

The butler bowed and then left.

“Xu Yuan, Xu Qing~”

After the butler left, Wang Changfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts returning to several months ago, settling on that calm, serene young man.

The young man's unperturbed and discerning character left a deep impression on him to this day.

For some reason, he felt as if he had missed the greatest Opportunity of his life.

“Impossible!”

He shook his head, casting this somewhat ridiculous thought aside.

Xu City!

At this moment, Xu Ming looked at every corner of the City Lord's Mansion as he slowly walked through it, a hint of reluctance in his eyes. He had been born here and had childhood memories here. Now, having to leave this place, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

But as a Grand Elder of the clan, he had his mission, so he could only leave. Moreover, this departure also marked the Xu Family's complete farewell to the past, about to begin a new chapter.

He had a premonition that the Xu Family's future would soar, perhaps even surpassing the main branch in Zhongzhou.

“Third Grandpa, it's time to go!” Xu Qing stepped forward and said.

Xu Ming nodded, “Yes! It's time to go!”

He looked at Xu Qing with a gratified gaze. It was this young man who had created the Xu Family of today. In such a desperate situation, he had brought the Xu Family to a whole new level.

He had made all four branches of the Xu Family, from the Branch Leader down to the ordinary clan members, revere him like a god.

It was also for this reason that when he proposed moving out of Xu City, no one in the entire Xu Family objected.

A moment later, more than a dozen Azure Cloud Geese ascended into the sky, leaving Xu City.

The people of Xu City, seeing this scene, had various expressions. No one had expected that the Xu Family, which had completely ruled Xu City, would actually move out of Xu City.

Of course, many forces also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Xu City would still be controlled by the Xu Family in the future, their absence from the city was different from them being stationed in the city.

It was like a sword hanging over one's head suddenly rising. Although it was still overhead, the powerful sense of oppression was gone.

Several hours later, the Azure Cloud Geese arrived above Cloud Mist Mountain.

“Young Lord, where do we enter?” Xu Ming asked.

Looking at the Cloud Mist Mountain shrouded in mist, Xu Ming felt a little puzzled. After all, the entire Cloud Mist Mountain was over three hundred li wide!

Profound Darkness Two Elders also looked at Xu Qing curiously. They didn't understand why Xu Qing would give up the City Lord's Mansion and come here.

“Follow me!”

Xu Qing waved his hand forward, and a massive passage appeared.

More than a dozen Azure Cloud Geese flew into the passage.
