If you develop this habit, and in the future when you're out alone, you can't change it for a while, what if it benefits outsiders?

"Must be controlled."

······

Tianjian City, the Wu Family.

"Family Head, the Wandao Sect has yet to give any definitive response." The Third Elder of the Wu Family looked at Family Head Wu Yanhai: "Apparently they have shelved the engagement note, and perhaps they've also thoroughly investigated our Wu Family's affairs, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Second Elder directly interrupted him: "No reply doesn't necessarily mean rejection, perhaps they're hesitating, let's wait a bit longer."

"How much longer do we have to wait?" The Fourth Elder's tone was a bit impatient: "Now there's gossip about this everywhere outside, other factions are also waiting to see our joke. If they probe the issue with the Ancestor, they will use the influence of the Wandao Sect to suppress the Wu Family!"

Sitting in the main seat, Wu Yanhai's hands clenched slightly: "Do you know who leaked the news of the engagement?"

"It might be the Wandao Sect, or perhaps the Qingmiao Palace." The Fourth Elder said expressionlessly: "They released this news just to mock our Wu Family for overthinking our abilities."

"The Wandao Sect wouldn't do such a thing." The Second Elder directly refuted: "The prestige of the Wandao Sect is renowned, they wouldn't deny other sects some face unless they are opposing."

"Heh." The Fourth Elder snorted coldly: "I give you a woman, and the tigress at your house..."

The Second Elder slapped the table, glaring at the Fourth Elder in anger: "You think I'm afraid of her, you..."

"Enough quarreling!"

Wu Yanhai interrupted the two's argument and slowly said: "Prepare for the worst..."

"Family Head!"

Before he could finish, someone hurriedly ran from outside with an uncontainable look of joy on their face: "Family Head, the Wandao Sect has sent four Flying Boats towards Tianjian City, with the Taichu Hall's Fire Phoenix Boat in the center."

Wu Yanhai immediately stood up from his seat: "Really?"

"Re-really, they didn't go to the Sun family, nor the Purple Sun Sect... they are headed straight for our Tianjian City, likely to arrive within an hour."

Wu Yanhai couldn't help but clench his hands, casting a glare at the Fourth Elder: "Such an important matter, and you didn't know!?"

The Wandao Sect's Flying Boats had obviously set off some time ago, yet he hadn't received any intelligence, what could be the reason?

The Fourth Elder's expression changed, but Wu Yanhai had no time to say more and turned to ask: "Do you know who's coming?"

"Still looking into it..."

"Never mind, prepare to welcome them!" Wu Yanhai walked out of the room: "Call Biqiong back."

······

Tianjian City, in a secluded alley.

Wu Biqiong leaned into Sun Shaoheng's embrace, tears in her eyes: "Shaoheng, Saint Lu is arriving soon, I can't resist my family, won't you take me away?"

Sun Shaoheng lowered his head, his eyes showed a bit of complexity as he looked at Wu Biqiong, but soon a hint of urgency appeared in his eyes: "Biqiong, I know Saint Lu, he certainly won't agree to your family's request, so you don't need to worry."

"But... what if?" Wu Biqiong lifted her head to look at Sun Shaoheng: "Didn't you say you knew Saint Lu very well? Can you ask him?"

Sun Shaoheng immediately boasted with pride: "Of course, I once performed missions with Saint Lu, although I have left the Wandao Sect now, we are comrades who have faced life and death together, I will definitely help you with this!"

Wu Biqiong broke into tears and smiled: "I just want to be with you."

"I do too." Sun Shaoheng looked at Wu Biqiong with deep feelings and leaned in closer to her.

Wu Biqiong twitched at the corners of her eyes but suppressed the impulse to slap away.

After a long silence, Wu Biqiong held back the nausea and carefully asked: "Shaoheng, can it really be done?"

"Saint Lu will definitely give me this face!"

"So, how familiar are you with Saint Lu?" Wu Biqiong asked softly: "I heard that the Wandao Sect and Saint Lu have such a good relationship that they can joke and play around, can you do that too?"

"Of course I can." Sun Shaoheng patted his chest and spoke with bravado: "Even if I attacked him with an arrow, it would just be a joke between us."

"So amazing?" Wu Biqiong's eyes sparkled as she looked at Sun Shaoheng, though her expression became hesitant: "If your relationship with Saint Lu is so good, surely you can help me... Shaoheng, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"You don't believe me?" Sun Shaoheng's voice suddenly rose several pitches: "If you don't believe it, I'll show you then!"

"Isn't that not good?" Wu Biqiong shook her head: "If it angers Saint Lu, I should still listen to my family..."

"You think little of me?"

"No, no..." Wu Biqiong hurriedly said: "I'm just worried something might happen to you. After all, you've left the Wandao Sect for a year, and Saint Lu is so powerful, Shaoheng, you better not take risks..."

"Friendship between men doesn't just disappear!" Sun Shaoheng said loudly: "I'll definitely show you how good my relationship with Saint Lu is, I can definitely help you!"

"But..."

"No buts, when Saint Lu arrives, just watch!"

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

"Leave it to me!"

"Hmm..."

Watching Sun Shaoheng's departing figure, Wu Biqiong spat toward a nearby wall: "Stupid fool."

"Is this your method?"

The sudden voice behind her made Wu Biqiong's face change as she quickly turned around, but seeing the face beneath the hat, she excitedly leaned over: "Sister Kong Chan."

Kong Chan took a small step back: "Don't touch me with that Lower Realm body of yours."

"I was presumptuous." Wu Biqiong giggled; after all, it wasn't her who was cursed: "When did you arrive?"

"Not long ago." Kong Chan's voice was indifferent: "You're planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

"The Wu Family Ancestor suddenly had an incident, so I had to kill that Great Burning Ancient Body." Wu Biqiong shrugged: "Otherwise, if the Sun family annexed us, there would be a risk of exposure.

That fool is too easy to control."

Wu Biqiong turned to ask: "Why did you come here?"

"Just looking around."

"Then let's watch how Sun Shaoheng dies first." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

······

"Second Young Master, you're back."

In the inn, the old man slightly bent his body and hesitated for a moment before asking: "Do you really want to help the Wu Family?"

"Help that bitch?" Sun Shaoheng sneered: "I'd rather help the brothel prostitutes."

The old man was stunned, then he heard Sun Shaoheng continue to ask: "Where is my elder brother?"

"Still not back."

"Great, didn't he want to ask for guidance from Saint Lu? Tell him this..."

Listening to Second Young Master's words, the old man's expression changed slightly: "Do you really want to do this?"

"What is there to fear? I'm there, just go arrange it." Sun Shaoheng chuckled: "That foolish donkey wants to be Family Head, but without this skill, how can it work?"

As his words fell, he came to the window and looked at the orderly city residents being organized by the Wu Family, his eyes filled with mockery.

"That stupid bitch really thinks I'm a three-year-old child, used to ignore me, now wants to elope, truly thinks I'm an idiot?"

Sun Shaoheng chuckled: "Has the Transparent Sword Body, but not enough brains, still wants to drag the Sun family into the mud... really thinks I don't know who's deciding matters in the Chang'an Domain?"

The old man watched Sun Shaoheng's back: "Second Young Master, you don't like Wu Biqiong anymore?"

"I like her." Sun Shaoheng turned to look at the old man: "After annexing the Wu Family, where can she run? At that time, do I still need to chase her? Hehe...

As for Saint Lu, how could he fancy Wu Biqiong?"

"Alright, go handle this, and quickly get rid of my elder brother."

"I'll do it right away."

The old man left the room, Sun Shaoheng let out a light breath, now he could finally take the seat of Young Master.

His damned elder brother thought he had high talent and should strive to become the pillar of the Sun family, quite a few clan elders agreed with his brother's words.

Sun Shaoheng shook his head and chuckled, of course, he would cultivate, but he also wanted the position of Family Head.

Just like Lu Jin'an surely thought being 'Saint Heir' was more awe-inspiring than being the senior brother, he also thought 'Family Head' was more impressive than 'Ancestor' or 'Fellow Daoist.'"

"Chaos is good, easy to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
