Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 769 - 267: Illusion Seed Illusion Realm! Enemies Meet!_2
But when he later discovered Zong Qingkuang's arrival, he realized the fool was actually himself. There really was a woman appearing at midnight! A lone man and woman standing on this small bridge, the flowing water of Wanjian Manor beneath, it was a scene that evoked his envy—handsome man and beautiful woman.
After hearing the news from Tiesi City today, he was even more delighted.
"We don't mind over here; I already have a wife. If my wife knew I was interested in the Peach Pavilion Master, she'd strangle me. So, if this Peach Pavilion Master is taken by Zong Liangqing, I truly have no objections—in fact, I'm actually happy about it!"
"You dogs from the Celestial Capital Department, weren't you all so arrogant before? Didn't you love putting on an act? Try acting for me now! You bunch of living fossils, relying on others to bully. Now I'm just curious to see how you handle this, and besides, Zong Liangqing is also quite someone with a strong personality!"
"To prove my deep love for you, I will spread this news to everyone. Even if the world becomes my enemy, so what? I will never let you leave my side in this lifetime, no matter what happens, I shall stand firmly behind you to protect you."
"Tsk tsk, how damn tender, how damn suave. Is this the language of accomplished people? If I had Zong Liangqing's way with words back in the day, I wouldn't have spent over thirty years pursuing my wife before finally succeeding. This guy truly understands a girl's heart."
The assistant beside him broke into a wide grin, sensing his Manor Master's satisfaction: "Manor Master, the Celestial Capital Department is surely trying everything to investigate Zong Liangqing now, but since he dared to make such a statement, he must have confidence. So, shouldn't we get involved? After all, it presents a great opportunity to align with Zong Liangqing and retaliate against the Celestial Capital Department!"
"Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing."
"This bunch of cannon fodder really can't handle it. Go to Tiesi City immediately; tomorrow evening at 7:15 PM, we'll dine at the Gathering Talent Tower. I want to have a good meal with them, to strengthen our relationship. Never mind the enemy's enemy being our friend; just seeing the Celestial Capital Department humiliated gives me immense satisfaction."
The assistant nodded vigorously: "I'll go right away, Manor Master. But, Manor Master, while we can curse like this behind closed doors, we must maintain an esteemed and virtuous image in front of others, ensuring Wanjian Manor doesn't become known as a foul-mouthed group, and certainly not using dialects to insult others."
"It's just minor matters. Who's the same in public and private anywhere in the world? Is it a literary inquisition if we don't curse a couple of times behind the scenes?"
He waved his hand with a laugh: "Alright, off you go. Handle this clearly and properly. I'm really eager to meet Zong Liangqing now; he's going to be my brother-in-law in the future."
"Yes!"
The assistant left Wanjian Manor, while the Manor Master went directly to his wife. Seeing the expectant look on her face, he felt a bit apprehensive around such a woman and timidly said, "Wife, during the day, let's not see the daylight."
"Haha, no is no. Looks like you're getting old, not as vigorous as before. Seems like I need to leave you and find a younger guy." The wife sneered, continuing to sharpen her knife.
"Hahaha, it's just inconvenient during the day, the night...can't it be at night?!" the Manor Master stubbornly said.
"Alright, but it was your request, not mine!" His wife rolled her eyes.
"Yes, yes, it's my request."
The Manor Master laughed it off and, meanwhile, stuffed a handful of goji berries into his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed before saying, "The main reason I came to see you is about something, my dear. Do you know about Zong Liangqing? Such a suddenly arriving man."
About Zong Liangqing...the woman was suddenly confused and immediately shook her head: "I don't know Zong Liangqing, I have no relation to him. I don't know where you heard we had a relationship, but I truly don't know him. I'm a clear and upright woman, I am your wife!"
The Manor Master: "???"
What are you talking about? Why do I feel an ominous premonition? The Manor Master shook his head and continued: "Here's the thing, the Peach Pavilion Master and Zong Liangqing are together, and Zong Liangqing has announced he will take the Peach Pavilion Master away in a month. Weren't you formerly the Sect Leader's direct disciple with the Peach Pavilion Master?"
"Is that so?" The woman first breathed a sigh of relief then was suddenly startled: "The Sect Leader is getting married?!"
"Yes."
The Manor Master said: "The message arrived at Wanjian Manor this morning. I mean, we surely have to side with Zong Liangqing. First, the Celestial Capital Department surely dislikes him, so we support him. Secondly, he's certainly strong enough to win over the Peach Pavilion Master. Thirdly, you were once a direct disciple of the Peach Pavilion Master, so that's your old home, which we certainly should celebrate."
