She extorted so much money from Ling Lang, itâs only natural that she spends it. Not like Bai Yan could take it back to the other side and use it, right?
......
The manors of the four clans are all within one area, therefore the news of Bai Yanâs return had also spread at a whirlwind speed.
Ignoring the Lin Clan who came after the demise of the Bai Clan, both the Tian Clan and Fu Clan would undoubtedly be startled by the news. This was especially true when word spread of Wen Shan being walked all over by his own daughter.
Itâs a well-known fact on how much of a coward this bastard was. After all, he didnât lift a finger after his wife got murdered by them. This meant that unless Bai Yanâs strength had surpassed her old man, what transpired wouldnât be possible.
âThis girlâs been missing for ten years, and now sheâs back, and for ten years, we havenât heard from her at all!â Tian Wind of the Tian Clan frowns as he spoke, his finger drumming the table as he contemplated the issue.
Sitting in front of him was another individual, a middle-age beauty with a body worthy of being called a model. As she carefully poured a cup of tea for the man across from herself, her soft smiling face showed she didnât seem worried: âItâs nothing to be worried about just because her strength is higher than Wen Shanâs. Thereâs still the current head of the Wen Clan taking charge. Besides, even if the Wen Clan fears her, our Tian Clan isnât. However...â Squinting her eyes, the beauty curves those lips into a snarling sneer, âNipping the flower in the bud is the smarter option. Her talent is not bad so we canât let her continue to grow.â
Bai Yuâs apprentice is already a cripple so thatâs not a threat. As for Ling Kaiyuanâs daughter-in-law (Bai Yanâs aunt)... itâs nothing to fret either. That old general may be a founding member of the nation, but heâs not going to mobilize the military just for one clan. Thatâs unreasonable and unrealistic. Others in the government will definitely stop him before then.
Thereâs actually good reasoning behind this ladyâs logic. Unlike in the other world where oneâs personal power reign supreme, on Earth itâs about a countryâs strength. What does it matter if a family clan had a lot of influence and abilities? A few missile rockets and a nuke would do the trick right then and there. Theyâre martial artâs cultivators, not celestial or demonic cultivators like Bai Yan has become. Thereâs a big difference between a mortal and an immortal!
âYue Snowing,â Tian Wind warmly reaches out to take hold of the womanâs hand, âYour older brother.... Doesnât he have that personâs trust? Do you think we can find a way to get our daughter closer to the young lord?â
Snowingâs expression promptly changed for the worse at the mention: âI donât know. Since a few years ago where the young lord fell ill, heâs had a major change in temperament. Besides, Iâve heard the young lord now has a child he made with an unknown woman from the outside. The idea wonât turn out well.â
The four family clans are all subservient to the Water Clan, all for the one very single reason â thereâs a special existence inside that House.
Unlike the other inferior clans that could come and go with time, the Water Clan has been around for hundreds of years, each generation producing countless talents in its wake. However, thatâs not enough to secure their position as the head, rather itâs because thereâs a sacred beast under their control. The creatureâs able to control the water, thus making them the defacto ruler of the martial world.
Imagine having a tsunami hit you from out of the blue, or a raging hurricane that wouldnât recede, no normal person could withstand such a might.
