A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 787 - 786 Little Princess Exudes an Aura… Intimidating Everyone

Chapter 787: Chapter 786 Little Princess Exudes an Aura… Intimidating Everyone

Qian Gui looked at Mu Chengxi, who nodded in satisfaction again and again. After watching Mu Chengxi for a while, he turned his gaze toward Wen Xin, feeling that the two of them had both talent and beauty, and were very much a match.

Under the lead of Qian Gui and Sa Ning, Wen Xin entered the grand courtyard of the ancient martial arts family. She glanced at the high-tech gadgets scattered around the yard, and her beautiful eyes unconsciously narrowed.

She regretted wasting so many years. If she had found them earlier, solving the Independent State’s problems might have been simpler, and there would have been no need to wait until the Independent State had developed to its present state.

Wen Xin was brought by Qian Gui to the drawing room, where there were many people. Wen Xin looked at their faces and unconsciously felt they were strangers, as if they were not the people she remembered.

Qian Gui, while holding Wen Xin’s arm, excitedly led her to the main seat and introduced her with a somewhat excited tone.

“Let me introduce everyone to our little princess, the young mistress of the Wen family. Now that the young mistress has returned, we can leave this place with her and continue to fulfill the responsibilities and mission we’ve left uncompleted…”

“I understand that we have been living a rather comfortable life these past years. However, as members of an ancient martial arts family, comfort is not what we should be seeking. I hope you all can remember the mission we had upon arriving in Beijing and return to your posts.”

Qian Gui looked at the several dozen people present, his voice ringing with force, leaving no opportunity for anyone to refuse.

Under Qian Gui’s encouragement, everyone felt their blood boil with passion. They had been in hiding for fifteen years, and it was time to step out of this place and continue the work they were meant to do.

“Uncle Gui, we are willing to follow the little princess’s arrangements!”

Those loyal to Wen Boqian trusted Wen Xin unconditionally. They didn’t think it mattered what Wen Xin was like. What was important was that with them around, they would not let Wen Xin be left alone without support.

But for every loyal person, there were others who disagreed. After everybody had made their stance clear, those with different thoughts stood up to express their opinions.

“Uncle Gui, we are willing to follow the young mistress and leave Ancient Martial Town to return to our former positions, but… we don’t know whether the projects we were working on are still ongoing, or if we’re still needed…”

“Yes, we’ve heard that the little princess has been living in a very secluded village for many years and has never returned to the research institute. The situation at the research institute has completely changed from before…”

“First Elder, we are also worried… Fifteen years have passed, and I have never given up on my research during these years. But as for the research institute, I don’t know if it can keep up, whether the equipment can match our progress…”

…

Those present expressed their worries and doubts one after another, as well as their mistrust towards Wen Xin and the research institute.

By now, Wen Xin had clearly understood the meaning of their words. Lazily pulling a chair next to her, she sat down with an arrogant manner.

Her clear and bright eyes swept over those who still wanted to speak, her gaze carrying an indescribable sense of distance.

“I’ve heard everything you’ve said, so I will address it simply.”

“First, I want to thank those who trust me. As long as you’re willing to leave with me, I promise I won’t let you down.”

“As for the specific situation of the lab, I really am not completely clear, but I can arrange for someone from the lab to explain it to you properly.”

“As for the issue you all are concerned about, the equipment in the laboratory, you can go and see for yourselves.”

“In fact, I can understand your thoughts too. I would welcome you if you are willing to leave with me, but if you aren’t, I won’t insist. Such matters are entirely voluntary.”

“I’m willing to return to the research institute…”

Just as Wen Xin’s voice had fallen, Qian Ye stood up from his seat, pushed up his glasses, and looked at Wen Xin intently.

The moment Qian Ye stood up, Wen Xin immediately recognized his identity. She quickly sat up straight, properly seated on the chair, resembling an obedient elementary school student.

Wen Xin’s behavior made Qian Gui, who was beside her, involuntarily pause, a bit puzzled. He didn’t understand how Wen Xin, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, suddenly became so docile.

“Little Wen Xin, after you finish talking with Uncle Gui, have Sa Ning bring you to me, I have something else to attend to, so I will leave first.”

After speaking to Wen Xin, Qian Ye didn’t wait for anyone else to say anything and turned to leave.

With Qian Ye speaking up, those who originally did not want to leave looked at each other before all lowering their heads, and no one spoke another superfluous word.

“Alright, since everyone has already met the little princess, you may all be dismissed. Little Princess, please come with me; I’ll take you to meet the other elders of the ancient martial arts families.”

Qian Gui stood respectfully by Wen Xin’s side, speaking to her very politely. Wen Xin did not decline but stood up from her chair and left the guest hall with Qian Gui.

Upon exiting the guest hall, Wen Xin saw Mu Chengxi and Qian Meng standing outside the door. She consciously walked to Mu Chengxi’s side, took his hand, and looked up at him.

“The First Elder said he’s taking me to meet the other elders of the ancient martial arts families. You two should come with me too.”

Qian Meng looked at Wen Xin, his expression somewhat awkward. He slowly approached Wen Xin. “Little Princess, we do not have the privilege to meet the other elders, so you should go by yourself.”

Wen Xin turned her head to look at Qian Meng, her eyebrows slightly lifting. “Aren’t you already the heir to the Qian Corporation? Why do you not have the privilege to meet the Elders? Do the ancient martial arts families have such rules?”

Her question caused Qian Meng to lower his head in silence. Although he was the heir to the Qian family, the Qian family’s status within the ancient martial arts families was not high; he was merely a tool for making money for the ancient martial arts families.

Seeing Qian Meng silent, Wen Xin gave a faint smile. “What’s the matter? In Independent State, my Knight status is second only to the leader of thousands; I am also regarded as a key cultivation target by one of the families.”

“What? Does my Knight have no status in the Qian family?”

“First Elder, do you know if Qian Meng has the privilege to meet the other elders? Can my boyfriend accompany me inside?”

Wen Xin’s gaze was cool as she looked at the First Elder, her eyes exerting an invisible pressure that made the First Elder unconsciously take a step back.

“A Knight’s status in the ancient martial arts families is the same as in Independent State. Qian Meng’s identity as a Knight was not confirmed before, which is why he… However, since the little princess has acknowledged his Knight status, naturally, he has the privilege to meet the other elders.”
