In Xu Liancheng’s eyes, with Wang Yi’s respected status, the fact that he could treat his two in-laws like his biological parents and not abandon his wife meant that he was loyal.

The more Wang Yi acted like this, the happier Xu Liancheng became.

Only by joining forces with such a being would he not have to worry about being abandoned.

Of course, there was also the premise that he had to work hard.

It was fine for Su Changlin to be so casual. After all, this Venerable was his son-in-law.

However, Xu Liancheng did not dare to do so. He hurriedly bowed and said, “Greetings, Lord Venerable!”

When Wang Yi heard this, he looked at the other party and nodded slightly. “There’s no need to be so polite!”

Then, he asked calmly, “Why are you here?”

Wang Yi did not expect that Xu Liancheng would hang out with the two parents after leaving Cang City for just a few days. It seemed like their relationship was not bad.

Before Xu Liancheng could speak, Su Changlin took over the conversation and said with a smile, “Patriarch Xu is here today to discuss letting us invest in the Xu family’s business.”

At this moment, Xu Liancheng also nodded repeatedly beside Xu Liancheng.

When Wang Yi saw this, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up slightly. He thought to himself that the head of the Xu family was a wonderful person and knew it very well.

Before Wang Yi could look for him, he had already taken the initiative to come to Wang Yi.

Since that was the case, Wang Yi did not put on any airs. He smiled and said, “Patriarch Xu, if you have nothing else planned after this, stay for lunch.”

When Xu Liancheng heard this, he immediately felt flattered. He nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, “Thank you, Lord Venerable. I’m free, I’m free!”

How ridiculous…

This was an invitation from the Venerable. Many people begged for this opportunity. Even if there was a huge matter afterward, he would push it back, let alone now that he was free.

Indeed, be it in his previous life or this life, the best place to talk was at the dining table.

The purpose of Xu Liancheng’s trip was very simple. He was willing to sell 60% of the Xu family’s shares, and the Su family only needed to pay a symbolic price.

Although the Xu family had sacrificed a lot, their gains would far exceed what they had sacrificed.

As long as the Su family accepted their shares, it meant that the Xu family was already under Wang Yi and had become a faction under the Venerable.

With Wang Yi’s current status in the Langya Domain, as long as the Xu family was capable, it would not be a problem for them to expand their business to the entire Langya Domain, let alone Cang City.

The Su family also benefited greatly. Their strength and foundation instantly soared countless times, and they stepped into many areas that they had never dabbled in before.

Actually, the Su family’s foundation was much more robust than what it seemed on the surface. One had to know that Wang Yi had even brought back a document that represented 60% of the Three Absolutes Auction House’s shares.

However, with the current strength of the Su family, they could not completely control it. Even so, 60% of the net profit every year was still indispensable.

It seemed that the three brothers did not dare to play any tricks with this 60% profit while using his name.

The few of them had their fill and could be considered to have enjoyed themselves. Wang Yi and Su Shiya chatted with the two parents for a while before leaving the villa hand in hand.

As they walked on the streets, the number of pedestrians increased. It was obvious that it was much livelier than usual.

Wang Yi frowned slightly. Not long after he and Su Shiya walked out of the villa, they had already encountered several waves of martial artists.

There were at least more than ten Battle Warrior-Rank martial artists, and there was even a Grandmaster-Realm expert who had just entered Rank-7.

Something was wrong with this…

With Cang City’s current standards, there were more than a hundred Battle Warrior-Rank experts and only two grandmasters.

It was absolutely impossible for there to be so many Battle Warrior-Rank experts and grandmasters everywhere. More importantly, these martial artists were all unfamiliar faces.

At the thought of this, Wang Yi directly spread out his spiritual power and enveloped the surroundings.

As expected, what he had just seen was only the tip of the iceberg.

Currently, there were martial artists above the Battle Warrior Rank wandering everywhere around Cang City. Occasionally, Wang Yi could even see the figures of Grandmaster-Realm experts.

Moreover, Wang Yi even sensed a Peak-Realm expert whose face was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

This was even before Wang Yi’s spiritual power enveloped the entire Cang City. Who knew how many experts were gathered here now?

Anyone with a brain could tell that something big had happened in Cang City.

When Wang Yi saw this, he released the restrictions on his spiritual power. The noisy discussions around him entered his ears.

Someone’s voice was filled with desire and reverence. “I wonder if that Venerable is still in Cang City and if we’re lucky enough to meet him.”

Someone complained in a dissatisfied voice, “I wonder what’s wrong with the Yong Hua Chamber of Commerce. A treasure like the Green Jade Rock Marrow can only be bid for in cash.”

Similarly, someone said with lust and greed in his voice, “There’s news from the Tianzuo Daoist temple that Hua Changyan is hiding in Cang City. If we can capture her alive, we’ll really be rich.”

“Not only can I receive a bounty from the Tianzuo Daoist temple, but I can also enjoy such a talented girl before handing Hua Changyan over. Legend has it that Hua Changyan is a first-class beauty in Tianzuo City.”

…

This surprised Wang Yi a little. He did not expect so many experts to gather because of him.

As for the remaining experts, they came because of one of his acquaintances.

To be honest, ever since the system upgrade requirement became one million Connate Crystals, if not for the fact that he had heard others discussing it, Wang Yi would have really forgotten about the auction for the Green Jade Rock Marrow.

After all, after money lost its function as an upgrade system, it was no longer that important to him.

The two of them didn’t spend too much time on the road. Soon, they were back in their own villa.

“Ah!”

The door had just been pushed open when Su Shiya suddenly exclaimed.

Although Wang Yi did not sense any danger, he still subconsciously moved to shield Su Shiya.

When he saw the situation in the courtyard, Wang Yi was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked. The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.

No wonder Su Shiya exclaimed.

In the courtyard, there were at least dozens of people lying around, causing the rare herbs he had planted in the courtyard to be in a mess.

Meanwhile, Silver-Winged Cloud Treading was lazily lying under the ancient tea tree, its eyes narrowed as if it was taking a nap.

When Wang Yi saw this, his first reaction was that the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard had gone berserk and was hunting humans to eat.

However, Wang Yi shook his head gently. Although there were many people lying in the courtyard, their breathing was steady and strong. It was obvious that they were only unconscious and had not suffered any substantial injuries.

Wang Yi seemed to sense something and looked directly under the ancient tea tree.

When he saw the person who had fainted below the ancient tea tree, he could not help but say in surprise, “Why is it her?”
