Chapter Twenty Apology
Wang Shi's footsteps didn't stop for Wang Wan's words, and he walked further and further away until he disappeared at the end of Freedom Street.
Only Wang Huan was left, his face looking a bit unsightly.
"Hmm? It seems there really is internal conflict after all. I don't know how much suffering this branch of the royal family has caused, but it's stirred up discontent among the branches!"
"Wang Shi is dissatisfied with the Wang family, it seems the Wang family won't be peaceful either."
"This Shishan town has never been peaceful, and the friction between these two families has become increasingly intense. The Song family's actions have become more and more aggressive within the scope of Wang's jurisdiction, to the point where they even sent some young and strong sons to attack the Song family's sons, and Wang thought he was one of them."
"Yes, I don't know what kind of medicine the Song family has in their gourd, but an outsider like him can rise to power so quickly and even rival the great Wang family!"
"The Song family's ambition is indeed not small!"
"This Shishan Town will no longer be peaceful, I think we should withdraw from Shishan Town, lest we get hurt."
"This makes sense..."
……….
"Big......brother......" Wang Zheng nervously walked up beside Wang Yu.
"We'll go find Big Brother, since you brought this up, you have to take responsibility to the end." Wang Ao said heavily.
Wang Zheng could only nod his head and slump his shoulders.
"And as for your past behavior, don't think that Eldest Uncle and Father are unaware of it. They're just turning a blind eye to it. I hope that after this matter is over, you'll have some remorse in your heart. If not, then I won't be able to help you either." Wang Huo said.
"Ah!" Wang Zhong's face changed greatly, turning pale and somewhat guilty. He knew what his brother was referring to - the many bad things he had done over the years, including killing innocent civilians! His evil reputation had spread throughout Shishan Town, causing people to move to areas controlled by the Song family, which was one of the reasons for the Song family's rise to power.
Wang Zhong knew that once his actions crossed the bottom line of the Wang family, even his father would be unable to protect him!
"Alright, big brother! I'll go apologize to Wang Shi right away!" Wang Zhong said honestly.
"This is right, from now on, let's put all our energy into cultivation!" Wang Hao said, his own brother was still a talented person, but sometimes he was too extreme and didn't consider the overall situation. This incident might have given him a good chance to reflect.
………..
The Great Hall of the Wang Family
A young man stood, while in the middle of the hall sat a middle-aged man. He wore white clothes with golden threads, his long hair fluttering, and his black pupils exuding a sense of stability and a faint aura of power. This person was Wang Tingcheng, the head of the Wang family.
"Ah, Wang'er, how come you're here visiting your uncle? Didn't you go to supervise the streets?" The head of the Wang family said with a faint smile.
Wang Hui slightly bowed his waist and said: "Great Uncle, there is something important I need to report!"
"Oh, what's up." Wang Tingcheng said.
Wang Huan told Wang Shi about what had happened, without fear of losing face, and reported everything.
Only Wang Tingcheng's eyebrows gradually furrowed, and his eyes also welled up with tears, finally becoming extremely shocked.
"You're saying you were defeated by a branch family?! And just the fifth layer of strength can defeat your Qing Guang Quan? Moreover, that Wang Shi doesn't have any martial arts skills?" Wang Ting Cheng exclaimed, his eyes shining with light.
Wang Dong nodded and said.
"What more can be said? Bring him before me, and I will give him everything he wants. He can receive the same treatment as my own son!" Wang Tingcheng said, this kind of talent is what the Wang family needs most.
Wang Yu couldn't help but smile wryly and say: "I said so too, but this Wang Shi is a bit special."
"What's wrong?" Wang Tingcheng's heart suddenly tightened.
Wang Huan had no choice but to tell Wang Zheng about his small grudge against Wang Shi again.
Wang Tingcheng slammed his hand on the table, furious: "This little beast is really getting out of control! Bullying some commoners I didn't say anything, now he's even bullying his own family members! He's becoming more and more arrogant!"
"Great Uncle, this can't be blamed on Wang Zhong either. Wang Shi's progress is just too fast! In three months, he actually crossed three boundaries, something that no one could have anticipated!" Wang Huan explained for Wang Zhong.
"Hmph, isn't there a rule in the family code that prohibits bullying family members? It seems like no one takes the family code seriously anymore!" Wang Tingcheng said with a sigh. This matter was indeed quite troublesome. Apparently, Wang Shi had already developed some resentment towards the Wang family and didn't have much sense of belonging either.
Wang Kun was silent for a moment, then said: "Big Brother, I've already had Wang Zheng go apologize, hope it's not too late!"
"Wang Shi? Wang Shi! I remember now! It seems that the son of that branch who died five years ago was also named Wang Shi! Damn it!" Wang Tingcheng's face changed greatly, and he became somewhat flustered.
"What's wrong with Grandpa?" Wang Yu was somewhat puzzled.
"You don't know, five years ago, during the largest conflict between us and the Song family, several people died, including Wang Shi's father. At that time, it was chaotic and we were in a hurry to compete with the Song family, so we neglected the feelings of the branch families. But now it seems that maybe we didn't comfort them enough."
Wang suddenly felt a headache, this is really troublesome, a seed of hatred has taken root in his mind for five years! It's useless to say the truth now anyway!
Wang Tingcheng sighed and said, "I'll go myself. The battle with the Song family is getting more intense, we need this kind of talent, I hope I can persuade him!"
"Uncle, why has the Song family been so arrogant for several months?" Wang asked with some puzzlement.
"Do you know who the big man above Song's family is?" Wang Tingcheng asked solemnly.
"Who?!"
"It doesn't matter if I tell you, your elder brother and sister already know."
Wang Huan's heart felt a bit uneasy, and he only then realized that his older brother and sister had been closing their doors tightly recently, working hard to cultivate themselves. Perhaps the Wang family really was encountering some trouble!
"It's the Qingcang City Lijia!" A hint of worry flashed across Wang Tingcheng's eyes.
"Qingcang City?!" Wang Huan's face changed greatly. Qingcang City was a place that they could only look up to, a gigantic entity! Wang Huan had never been there before.
"The Li family wants to unify Shishan Town and doesn't want any extra forces, so they chose to support the Song family," said Wang Tingcheng.
"How could this be? Why didn't the Li family choose us?" Wang Yu was puzzled, as the Song family was clearly an outsider.
Wang Tingcheng was also unaware of this, but he said: "However, the Li family's enemy, the Zhou family, should have some obstacles, right? Half a year ago, I had almost sent someone to surrender to the Zhou family."
Wang Dong heard about the situation between the Li and Zhou families and said: "It's been half a year, why hasn't he received a response from the Zhou family yet?"
"I don't know either." Wang Tingcheng was also a bit worried.
……
It was already noon at this time, and in front of Wang Shi's house stood a person, who was none other than Wang Zhen, who had come to apologize.
Zi Cao hid behind the door, staring tightly at Wang Zheng, and the old woman was also watching Wang Zheng nervously.
"What are you doing here!" Wang Shi had already arrived home, seeing Wang Zhong's arrival, he couldn't help but frown, he didn't believe that he hadn't intimidated him yet.
Wang Zhēng gritted his teeth, then said: "Wang Shi, I hope you won't take those things to heart. I'm apologizing to you, I hit you, and now I'll stand here, no matter how you hit me!"
"Can I beat you to death?" Wang Shi said, but in his heart he was still somewhat surprised that Wang Zhong had actually apologized to him.
"Ah!" Wang Zhong was suddenly speechless.
Just as Wang Zhong was speechless, a voice rang out:
"I'll come and apologize in person!"
