Wang Yue was not ignorant like Li Menglan, so he naturally wouldn't be reckless and thrust in all at once.
He first used his glans to rub against the tender folds of Li Menglan's pussy a few more times, ensuring it was sufficiently lubricated. Only then did he press his tip against the entrance, which was already secreting yín fluid, and slowly slide inward, inch by inch.
Li Menglan's pussy was almost as tight as his aunt's had been the first time. Although it wasn't so tight that he could barely penetrate, like his sister's, Wang Yue still didn't dare to use too much force. He advanced slowly, his dick pushing open the tender, slippery flesh little by little. Every inch of progress was extremely difficult. It took nearly a minute for Wang Yue to fully insert his entire glans into Li Menglan's pussy. At this point, he felt his glans meet a layer of resistance.
Wang Yue paused, looking at Li Menglan's slightly furrowed brows, and asked, "Sister Lan, how does it feel?"
"It's so swollen, and a little painful," Li Menglan said, pulling a face. She was now less inclined to believe the older sisters. The Young Master's dick hasn't even fully grown yet, and it's already making me feel this swollen. Can they really handle a dick bigger than the Young Master's? Is being fucked really as comfortable as they said?
Wang Yue didn't know that Li Menglan was entertaining these irrelevant thoughts. Knowing that a sharp pain is better than a long-drawn-out one, and seeing that Li Menglan wasn't in excessive discomfort, he no longer hesitated. He thrust forward abruptly, and his huge dick instantly broke through that thin layer of resistance, penetrating several centimeters deep into Li Menglan's pussy.
"Ah..." The tearing pain made Li Menglan cry out, tears streaming from her eyes. She whimpered, "Young Master, it hurts so much, it hurts..."
Wang Yue quickly withdrew his dick somewhat, but didn't pull out completely, leaving more than half of his glans inside Li Menglan's pussy. He said gently, "Sister Lan, don't be afraid. A woman's first time is always a little painful. It won't be after this."
Li Menglan was now completely skeptical of her older sisters' words, but she still trusted her Young Master implicitly. Hearing what he said, she suppressed the urge to tell him to pull all the way out. Smiling through her tears, she forced a laugh and said, "Young Master, I'm okay."
Wang Yue didn't rush to resume fucking. While savoring the pleasure of his glans being tightly enveloped by Li Menglan's tender pussy, he instructed, "Sister Lan, now start running the cultivation method I taught you earlier."
Li Menglan did as she was told. With Wang Yue's guidance, their True Qi quickly linked up. As the dual cultivation technique began to run, and with the adaptation during this period, Li Menglan felt the pain in her pussy lessen. Instead, she felt an itchiness, a strong desire. So, she said, "Young Master, it doesn't hurt anymore. Please continue."
Wang Yue nodded, allowing the dual cultivation technique to run automatically within their bodies. He continued to thrust his dick deeper, completely focused on enjoying the pleasure of being slowly wrapped by Li Menglan's tender pussy.
After a long while, Li Menglan felt the Young Master's dick reach the deepest part of her pussy. She couldn't help but glance at their point of intersection, only to find that a small portion of the Young Master's dick was still exposed. Li Menglan couldn't help but wonder: The Young Master hasn't fully grown yet, and it's already like this. When he grows up, won't nearly half of it be exposed? Will the Young Master be comfortable then?
Then, she stopped thinking about these things. Because after Wang Yue reached the bottom, knowing that Li Menglan could now fully accommodate his dick, he quickly began to thrust in and out. With his thrusting, Li Menglan immediately and fully believed what her older sisters had said: A woman's pussy being fucked by a man's dick is indeed the most comfortable thing in the world!
Since it was Li Menglan's first time, Wang Yue did not over-indulge. He only fucked her until she climaxed three times, and he also delightfully ejaculated three times inside her pussy. Then he stopped and held her as they fell asleep.
Although it was only three times, Wang Yue's cultivation was so much higher than Li Menglan's that he directly boosted her from the peak of the Body Tempering Realm to the seventh layer of the Mind-Nourishing Realm—a total increase of sixteen minor stages. Now, Li Menglan was certainly a top-ten expert even in the entire Wang family estate. Of course, this was only in terms of cultivation. She hadn't started practicing martial arts techniques yet, so her actual combat ability was very ordinary.
As for Wang Yue himself, having received Li Menglan's purest virgin Yin essence, he also advanced by more than one minor stage, going from the fifth layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm to the peak of the sixth layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm, just a little short of entering the late Heavenly Origin Realm. However, that last bit was not easy to achieve. Because Li Menglan's cultivation was so much lower than his, and her years of accumulated Yin essence had been emptied, her current assistance to him was very limited.
The next day, Li Menglan woke up early, like a newlywed wife, and happily prepared breakfast for Wang Yue. Wang Yue actually wanted to have a "morning workout" with Li Menglan, perhaps even in the kitchen, but he felt sorry for her body, so he ultimately held back. After all, there would be plenty of time in the future.
The couple, inseparable, enjoyed a sweet breakfast. Then Wang Yue went to the martial arts field, and Li Menglan returned to the dormitory.
As soon as she got back, Li Menglan was surrounded by several attractive women in their thirties who were still quite charming. One of them said in surprise, "Menglan, you look so much prettier today!"
These women were the "older sisters" Li Menglan had mentioned. They were loyal servants of the Wang family, and their whole families worked at the Wang family estate. However, some of their husbands had died in service to the Wang family, and others had disappeared with the Wang family men three years ago. Therefore, although they were called maids, their status in the Wang family was quite high. They were the supervisors of all the maids and usually didn't have much work to do, leading a leisurely life. When women are idle, they like to gather and talk about everything. Since they had all lost their husbands and were inevitably lonely at night, unable to satisfy their desires, their conversations about lewd topics were even bolder than those of men. The incomplete and even severely misinterpreted sexual knowledge Li Menglan had was all gained from them.
Li Menglan naturally understood why she had become prettier. Her face flushed, and she said, "No, Sister Cui, don't tease me."
"I'm not teasing you," Sister Cui said, then looked at her other sisters: "Tell me if I'm wrong."
"Yes, yes, Menglan is indeed much prettier," the other women nodded. One even said, "Not only prettier, but radiant, like... right, like she's just been nourished by a man."
Hearing this, the women were first surprised, then began to smirk: "Menglan, if we remember correctly, you stayed with the Third Young Master last night and didn't come back, right? Did he..."
Although these women were a little gossipy and liked to talk about dirty jokes, they were not bad people, and their loyalty to the Wang family was unquestionable. Also, the Young Master had explicitly said there was no need to hide this, so Li Menglan didn't deny it. She just nodded with a blush.
"You actually did..." The women were just joking and didn't expect Li Menglan to admit it. Their expressions immediately turned a little serious.
Sister Cui, who had first spoken to Li Menglan, said, "The Third Young Master is still so young, Menglan, why didn't you restrain yourself?"
Although she was being scolded, Li Menglan was not angry because she knew that the older sisters were concerned for the Young Master's well-being. However, while not angry, she had to defend him. So, Li Menglan said, "You misunderstand. The Young Master is different from others. He's fine. I watched the Young Master grow up; why would I harm him?"
The women thought about it, and it was indeed true. Li Menglan was more worried about the Third Young Master than they were; she wouldn't harm him. Moreover, the Young Master was a martial artist, so he must mature earlier than an ordinary teenager. Doing it once or twice occasionally should be okay.
With that thought, the women's worries vanished, and their gossip spirit was aroused. Sister Cui immediately asked, "What was it like?"
Li Menglan blushed and said, "It was great, even better than what you all described."
Another woman asked more directly: "Is the Young Master's dick big? Did it hurt when he took your virginity?"
"It hurt a lot at first, but then it became very comfortable," Li Menglan recalled the pleasure of last night, and unknowingly, the area between her legs became somewhat wet again.
"You still haven't said, is the Young Master's dick big?" the woman persistently asked.
The others also perked up their ears. Just like men gather to talk about how a certain beauty is, although they couldn't have her, they could at least fantasize about it.
"It's not as big as you said. It's about six cun (Chinese inches)," Li Menglan hadn't measured it with a ruler, but she had touched it with her hands, held it in her mouth, and had it galloping inside her pussy for a long time, so she could roughly estimate its length.
"Six cun... that's not too big," the woman said: "But the Young Master is still young; it will definitely grow bigger later."
Sister Cui disagreed with her: "Six cun is not small at all! That's equivalent to fourteen centimeters. It's already considered a big one for the Young Master's age." She actually didn't mention that her deceased husband's was actually around that size, and the seven cun she spoke of was just her boasting.
The other women all nodded.
Li Menglan, however, was surprised: "Isn't six cun twenty centimeters? How did it become fourteen centimeters?"
"We use the old measurement system," the women laughed, and then they reacted, exclaiming in unison: "What did you say? The Third Young Master's dick is twenty centimeters long?!"
"More or less. Although I haven't measured it, even if it's not twenty centimeters, it's at least nineteen centimeters," Li Menglan had now realized that the "not fully grown" dick of the Young Master that she perceived was already larger than that of an adult.
"Oh my god, it's actually that big!" The women exclaimed. At that moment, they were incredibly envious of Li Menglan.
"Menglan, quickly tell us, is it especially comfortable to be fucked by such a big dick?" Sister Cui couldn't help but ask, unconsciously clamping her legs together, a dampness spreading across her crotch.
Li Menglan was now fully in the swing of the conversation and nodded without reservation: "Yes, it was so comfortable I almost flew! Especially during the climax, I nearly passed out."
"How is the Young Master's stamina? How many times did you climax?" another woman asked excitedly, as if the Young Master's big dick had fucked her last night, not Li Menglan.
"I climaxed three times," Li Menglan answered truthfully, but fearing the older sisters might think the Young Master wasn't up to par, she quickly added: "The Young Master hadn't finished yet. He only stopped because he was worried about me."
"My heaven, such a big dick and so long-lasting," one woman said dreamily: "It would be worth dying just to be fucked once by the Third Young Master's big dick."
"You probably won't even be able to die," Sister Cui teased: "With your old pussy, the Young Master won't want to fuck it."
"What's wrong with an old pussy? An old pussy has more lubricant, so it's even more comfortable to fuck!" the woman retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
Afterward, the women laughed together, constantly discussing what it would be like to be fucked by the Big Dick Young Master. They knew that they were not as pretty as Li Menglan and were "withered flowers," so there was no possibility with the Young Master, but no one could stop them from fantasizing.
From then on, Wang Yue acquired the nickname "Big Dick Young Master," but this nickname only circulated among the Wang family maids; outsiders never heard it.
Wang Yue, upon arriving at the martial arts field, practiced his martial arts techniques alone. Among the seven beauties at the Qi Refining Realm Martial Arts Field, three had a sexual relationship with him, but Wang Yue had to deliberately keep his distance from them to avoid revealing any flaws. This was the difference between them and Li Menglan. With Li Menglan, he could be open about it, but with them, he had to be secretive.
However, Wang Yue actually preferred this secretive feeling. The thought that they were his paternal cousins-in-law and even his own sister made him uncontrollably excited. This was a sickness, but he didn't want to be cured.
Near noon, the guard post suddenly received a call, saying someone was looking for Wang Yue. With a puzzled heart, Wang Yue went to the main gate of the estate and saw a towering, sturdy man standing outside, looking extremely awkward.
Seeing the sturdyman, Wang Yue was even more surprised. Because this man was Li Menglan's younger brother, Li Gang. This guy had been lying in bed unable to get up yesterday, but today he was so lively. Although Wang Yue had discovered during his examination yesterday that he absorbed the medicinal effects exceptionally quickly, he still didn't expect it to be this fast. It's like he has unlimited health, as long as the medicine keeps coming! It seemed his talent in external martial arts was even better than he had imagined. Wang Yue felt he had truly found a treasure.
As for why Li Gang looked awkward, it was because the Wang family estate only had Wang Yue as a male inside and out, so even the guards were beautiful maids. Li Gang was honest and simple, usually only dealing with rough men at the freight station. Now, being stared at by a group of pretty women, he naturally felt very embarrassed. As for his sister, Li Yingying, being prettier than these maids... Li Gang was not a beast like Wang Yue who would not let even his own sister go. In his eyes, his sister was just his sister, regardless of how pretty she was.
"Young Master, he is here for you," a maid stepped forward and said to Wang Yue. This was the same Sister Cui who had talked to Li Menglan that morning. The Wang family treated them well, and they also showed their gratitude, voluntarily assigning themselves tasks every day, with each person monitoring a post. Today, she was in charge of the gate.
While talking to Wang Yue, Sister Cui unconsciously glanced at the Young Master's crotch. Although Wang Yue was wearing loose training clothes, if one looked closely, one could still see the noticeable bulge. The Young Master's dick is indeed super big. If it were thrust into my pussy, it would definitely be mind-blowingly comfortable. Ah, I'm so jealous of that Menglan girl! Sister Cui sighed inwardly.
Wang Yue naturally didn't know that this beautiful, mature maid sister was fantasizing about him. He smiled at her and then called out to Li Gang from a distance: "Come inside and talk."
Since the incident three years ago, the Wang family estate had prohibited any male creature other than Wang Yue from entering. Wang Yue also didn't want to violate this rule, so he didn't let Li Gang enter the main area but led him to a reception room just inside the main gate.
Thud!
As soon as they entered the door, Li Gang knelt before Wang Yue, like a collapsing golden mountain, and said, "Young Master Wang, I, Li Gang, can never repay your great kindness and virtue to our family in this lifetime!"
"Don't be like that. You're Sister Lan's brother, and I've always considered her an older sister. By that reckoning, we're brothers," Wang Yue immediately helped Li Gang up and said with a smile, adding silently: And you're also my brother-in-law.
Li Gang's purpose for coming was twofold: to express his gratitude, and because Wang Yue had told him to come. He had no idea what the other party wanted him for. Furthermore, he was too honest. After standing up, he didn't know what to say, just grinning foolishly at Wang Yue.
Wang Yue had Li Gang sit down and then asked, "Do you know why I called you here?"
"No," Li Gang shook his head.
Wang Yue asked again, "Then let me ask you, do you want to protect your family with your own strength?"
"Yes, I dream of it, and I also want to repay your kindness, Young Master Wang," Li Gang answered without hesitation.
"Then are you afraid of pain?" Wang Yue asked.
Li Gang shook his head: "No!"
"Are you afraid of injury?" Wang Yue continued to ask.
Li Gang shook his head: "No!"
"Are you afraid of death?" Wang Yue pressed on.
Li Gang thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes." After saying this, he seemed to feel a bit ashamed of his answer and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
Wang Yue laughed heartily: "Well said. If you had said you weren't afraid of death, I would have thought you were insincere." Then, his expression grew serious, and he asked again, "If I give you an opportunity to become stronger, to become a martial artist, but the process will be very painful, are you willing to try?"
"I am willing!" Li Gang answered excitedly. Becoming a martial artist was a wonderful thing he had never even dared to dream of before.
"Good, I will give you this opportunity," Wang Yue said: "But one thing must be clear first. Once you become a martial artist, you belong to the Wang family and can never betray us."
"Young Master, don't worry. Even if you don't let me become a martial artist, my life, Li Gang's life, is yours!" Li Gang thumped his chest, his eyes reddening as he thought of Wang Yue's kindness to his family. He knew that if Wang Yue hadn't intervened, not only would his injury have taken a long time to heal, but his sister would have fallen into Liu Sheng's clutches. So, the moment he understood these circumstances, he had decided to dedicate his life to Wang Yue to repay his kindness.
Li Gang's honesty was absolutely genuine, and even with Wang Yue's limited experience, he could see it. Furthermore, he was Li Menglan's younger brother. For that reason alone, Wang Yue trusted his character, so he said nothing more, stood up, and said, "Follow me."
Taking Li Gang, Wang Yue went to the parking lot at the main entrance and got into an SUV with him. It wasn't that Wang Yue didn't want to drive his suspended car, but Li Gang's nearly two-meter-tall frame would be very uncomfortable in the smaller car. After calling his grandmother, Liu Ruoshi, to inform her, Wang Yue drove away from the Wang family estate.
The Wang family estate was already in the suburbs, and the place Wang Yue was headed was even more remote. After driving for more than twenty kilometers along one road, Wang Yue turned the car into a sizeable factory. This factory appeared to be a manufacturing plant for ordinary swords and weapons on the surface, but underground, there was a vast space spanning six floors. This was the Wang family's secret base for training martial artists. All martial artists affiliated with the Wang family usually cultivated and awaited missions here.
These martial artists were unregistered with the Martial Artist Alliance and had a superficial identity, with many even having their own families. Normally, they stayed at the base under the guise of going to work and would not expose their true identities. They would only be dispatched secretly when the family needed them. Some were descendants of the Wang family's old-generation servants, and others were orphans adopted from a young age, ensuring a high degree of loyalty.
"Third Young Master, you've arrived," the person who greeted Wang Yue was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties. In fact, once martial artists cultivate to the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, if they wished, their appearance, figure, and physical functions would remain at the level of a thirty-year-old until their lifespan was nearly depleted, only then showing signs of aging. Only those with special needs would allow their bodies to continue aging. For example, those who wanted to project authority would age to a middle-aged look in their forties or fifties. Those who wanted to appear immortal and wise would age until their hair and beard were completely white. However, this was generally done by men. Women, who were more concerned with their appearance and figure, would stop aging at their peak. For example, Wang Yue's grandmother, Liu Ruoshi, was quite old, but apart from her actual age, all her physical functions were no different from a genuinely thirty-year-old woman. The beautiful woman before him was the same. She looked young but was actually similar in age to Liu Ruoshi. She had been Liu Ruoshi's personal maid and was now the head of this secret base, with a cultivation base at the third layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
"Grandma Mei, please don't be so polite with me. Just call me Yue'er," Wang Yue was very respectful of this elder who had dedicated decades to the Wang family and hadn't even started a family of her own.
Liu Mei didn't stand on ceremony with Wang Yue and asked with a smile, "Miss (referring to Liu Ruoshi) sent word that you were coming. Is there something you need?" She still referred to Liu Ruoshi as "Miss," a habit since they were girls.
Wang Yue looked around and said, "Let's talk inside."
Liu Mei nodded, led the two of them into a very inconspicuous room in the factory, and pressed a spot on the wall that looked no different from the rest. Moments later, the innermost wall of the room slowly opened into a doorway, revealing a passage inside. The three of them entered the doorway and went down the steps.
Only after the door behind them closed did Wang Yue speak as they walked: "Grandma Mei, I came here today for him," he said, gesturing to Li Gang, who was following closely behind him.
"Him?" Liu Mei couldn't help but frown. The depth of a martial artist's cultivation was hard to discern without using force, but whether a person was a martial artist or not was easy to see. The man behind Wang Yue, although very tall and strong, looked quite formidable, but he was clearly not a martial artist. So, Liu Mei didn't understand why he would bring such a person here.
"Grandma Mei, Li Gang is not a martial artist yet, but he is a super genius in external martial arts," Wang Yue trusted Liu Mei completely, so he recounted Li Gang's situation.
After listening, Liu Mei's beautiful eyes immediately lit up, and she said happily, "It's perfect! We have many external martial arts techniques on hand, including a high-grade Earth-tier set, but we haven't been able to find a suitable person to use it. Now it can finally be put to use."
Wang Yue was not surprised that the family had an Earth-tier, high-grade external martial arts technique. Cultivating external martial arts was completely different from cultivating internal martial arts. There was no such thing as an external martial arts cultivation method in this world—at least, none had been discovered yet. To cultivate, one could only continuously temper the body, making the physique stronger and stronger, eventually comparable to a martial artist. This method of cultivation was too grueling and showed results very slowly, so the path of "Body Tempering" was very unpopular in this era. Even the few Body Tempering experts with extreme perseverance were only comparable to martial artists of the Qi Refining Realm at best; there were virtually none stronger. Since external martial arts techniques relied purely on brute force and could not utilize True Qi, not to mention Earth-tier external martial arts techniques, even Heaven-tier ones were not valuable.
Li Gang's genius lay in the fact that whenever he was injured, his physique would become stronger upon recovery. He was originally an ordinary person, but after that car accident, the strength of his physique was already close to that of a Body Tempering Realm martial artist, and if not quite equal, it wasn't far off. If that were all, Li Gang would only be considered an ordinary genius, as injuries require months of recuperation. Being injured once and gaining a bit of physical strength would mean his progress speed would be far slower than that of a martial artist.
However, the abnormal thing about Li Gang was that his speed of absorbing medicinal effects was simply astonishing. As long as he had a sufficient supply of spiritual medicine, a severe injury that would normally require months of recuperation could be healed overnight. A person like this cultivating external martial arts would progress hundreds of times faster than an ordinary person. The only downside was the constant need for injury, which would require great perseverance to endure. But Wang Yue believed Li Gang could do it. That's why Wang Yue brought him here: to have the Wang family martial artists continuously temper Li Gang's body.
"The Third Young Master has arrived! People of all floors, quickly come and pay respects!" Upon entering the underground space, Liu Mei immediately spoke. Her voice, wrapped in the powerful True Qi of the Heavenly Origin Realm, instantly spread throughout the entire underground space. No matter which of the six underground floors, everyone could hear it clearly.
Soon, the hidden Wang family martial artists rushed over, men and women, young and old. Upon arriving, they all bowed and greeted Wang Yue, and Wang Yue nodded in response to each one.
A few minutes later, when no one else came, Wang Yue's brow furrowed. If he remembered correctly, this secret base housed a total of one hundred and two secretly trained Wang family martial artists, and it was daytime. Logically, all the martial artists should have been here. But only a little over fifty people had arrived, meaning nearly half had not shown up.
Wang Yue was not a person who liked to show off. Even if Liu Mei hadn't gathered everyone to pay their respects, he wouldn't have cared. But the situation was that Liu Mei had clearly summoned everyone, yet nearly half still hadn't come. What did this imply? It suggested that these people completely disregarded him, the Third Young Master.
If this had happened three years ago, it might have been understandable as a power struggle among the three branches, where people from the other two branches didn't respect him, the Second Branch's Young Master. However, the current situation was that Wang Yue was the only male heir remaining in the entire Wang family. He represented the future of the Wang family. Disregarding Wang Yue was tantamount to disregarding the Wang family.
"Liu Mei, what is going on?" Wang Yue asked, his face stern. Although he respected Liu Mei, in the face of such a serious matter, he had to assert the authority of the main family.
Liu Mei was also visibly angry. She said with a darkened expression, "This Wang Jingyuan is becoming more and more outrageous!"
"What is going on?" Wang Yue asked again. He knew Wang Jingyuan was one of the first batch of orphans adopted by his great-grandfather, and he was the one with the highest cultivation aptitude among that batch. He should also be in the Heavenly Origin Realm now, though Wang Yue didn't know the specific level. In his previous life, he hadn't managed the affairs of the secret base and only knew that this person was not seen during the beast tide three years later. However, Liu Mei, with dozens of martial artists, had closely followed the Wang family members, ultimately charging into the beast tide with Liu Ruoshi and the others.
Liu Mei told her people to step aside and then spoke to Wang Yue. Wang Yue then learned that ever since the incident three years ago, this Wang Jingyuan had begun to act up, constantly recruiting martial artists in the base to be his confidantes, overtly agreeing but covertly disobeying the head, Liu Mei, and even relying on his seniority and high cultivation to monopolize cultivation resources. Recently, he had become even more audacious, demanding that his grandson be openly accepted into the Wang family as a legitimate, direct descendant. With Wang Yue being the only male heir in the current Wang family, Wang Jingyuan's demand for his grandson to become a direct descendant clearly exposed his ambition.
"Does my grandmother know about these things?" Wang Yue asked.
"Of course Miss knows, but she hasn't been able to deal with Wang Jingyuan immediately," Liu Mei sighed: "Wang Jingyuan is now at the fourth layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm. Although he is one level weaker than Miss, they are both in the middle Heavenly Origin Realm, and his strength is not much different. Furthermore, he has threatened that if the Wang family tries to deal with him, he will betray the family and report the situation of the secret base to the Martial Artist Alliance."
This was an absolutely ruthless move. Although the Martial Artist Alliance usually turned a blind eye to major powers secretly training martial artists, this kind of thing could not be publicly acknowledged. It belonged to the principle of "the public doesn't report, the government doesn't investigate." Once exposed and with concrete evidence, the Martial Artist Alliance would have to intervene, even if they didn't want to. Furthermore, Wang Jingyuan's cultivation was as high as the fourth layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm. If he was determined to escape, even if Liu Ruoshi and Liu Mei teamed up, they might not be able to stop him. Under the constraint of fearing to harm the whole situation, they could only feign compliance with him for the time being. As for contacting the other two major families and having them collectively take down Wang Jingyuan, that wouldn't be difficult, but such a move would cause too much commotion and easily lead to trouble. It was precisely because of this that Wang Jingyuan was so emboldened.
Wang Yue finally understood why Wang Jingyuan wasn't seen during the beast tide in his previous life. He must have either been eliminated by his grandmother or left the Wang family to start his own faction by then. However, Wang Yue didn't understand why his grandmother hadn't even given him a warning, knowing he was coming.
But Wang Yue was not stupid and quickly figured out his grandmother's intent. Clearly, she wanted to use this opportunity to test him. The goal of the test was likely his ability to handle this situation. As the sole male heir of the Wang family, he couldn't be too weak. If he didn't dare to speak up or even face Wang Jingyuan at this moment, it would certainly be unacceptable. But if he was too aggressive and provoked Wang Jingyuan, he would be the one to suffer the consequences. The other party was a family elder and a Heavenly Origin Realm expert, and disciplining a junior would be justifiable anywhere, even if that junior was a direct descendant. After all, although Wang Jingyuan's greedy ambition was almost public knowledge, he was nominally still a member of the Wang family, and everyone maintained a superficial understanding. Therefore, figuring out how to strike a balance—showing the young family head's authority without provoking Wang Jingyuan—was the content of Liu Ruoshi's test for Wang Yue.
Instantly understanding everything, Wang Yue said calmly, "Let's go. We'll go see what this Elder Wang Jingyuan is so busy with."
Liu Mei nodded without saying anything. She actually disagreed with her Miss using this to test Wang Yue. After all, he was only fifteen, too young. If he mishandled it and completely lost face in front of Wang Jingyuan and the other hidden Wang family martial artists, the situation would become even harder to control in the future. But unlike Wang Jingyuan, for her, the Miss's words were law. Even if she disagreed, she would execute them meticulously. As for Wang Jingyuan, if the Old Master hadn't picked him up from the garbage heap back then, he would have long been food for wild dogs. Yet, after the Wang family suffered a setback, not only did he not help the family overcome the crisis, but he tried to seize the opportunity to take control of the Wang family. This kind of person was utterly devoid of loyalty and preyed on the weak—he wasn't necessarily loyal before the Wang family's troubles; he simply lacked the ability to cause trouble. Now that most of the Wang family men had disappeared, and the main family's overall strength had dropped by at least seventy percent, this Wang Jingyuan jumped out. This was a classic case of bullying the weak. If Miss's cultivation hadn't still been slightly superior to Wang Jingyuan's, the main family's life would definitely not be easy. Liu Mei thoroughly detested and despised this kind of person.
Led by Liu Mei, Wang Yue walked toward the deeper underground space. The hidden martial artists summoned by Liu Mei also followed behind. They were part of Liu Mei's faction and genuinely loyal to the Wang family. Now that the Young Master of the Wang family was going to confront Wang Jingyuan, if he, being young and hot-blooded, completely escalated the conflict and the other party surged forward, even with Liu Mei there, they might not be able to protect him. Strength in numbers is usually an unchangeable truth, unless the difference in strength is too great.
It's worth mentioning that Li Gang also followed Wang Yue closely, never leaving his side. He was honest and simple but not stupid at all. He naturally understood the danger of this trip, and he wasn't a martial artist, so he couldn't help much if he went. But he still followed without hesitation. Just this point alone was enough for Liu Mei to look at him with new respect, thinking that the Young Master's judgment was excellent.
They walked all the way to the sixth underground floor, the lowest level, where Wang Yue and the others finally saw Wang Jingyuan in the large martial arts field on that floor. Like most martial artists, Wang Jingyuan maintained the appearance of a man in his thirties. He wasn't very tall but looked quite robust. His appearance was not as arrogant as Wang Yue had imagined; instead, he seemed gentle and often wore a faint smile. Anyone who didn't know him would never guess that this was a wolf cub, ready to bite back once the main family's power weakened—a type of ungrateful wretch who could never be tamed.
The martial arts field on the sixth underground floor was not empty. Besides Wang Jingyuan, there were over forty other martial artists. Clearly, all the martial artists in the entire secret base, except those who responded to Liu Mei's summons to pay respects to Wang Yue, were all here. This was more than just a provocation; it was an open and brazen act of defiance.
Liu Mei was secretly furious and snapped, "Wang Jingyuan, what is the meaning of this? The Young Master has arrived, why didn't you come to pay your respects?"
"Oh, it was the Young Master who arrived. Young Master, I apologize. I was just now leading them in martial arts practice here, and I was so engrossed that I didn't hear Steward Liu's transmission. I am truly deserving of death." Wang Jingyuan walked up to Wang Yue and performed a martial artist's salute.
