Chapter 110: Aunt Su Mengyun (1)

At that moment Wang Yue was already at the training field, still deriving his martial techniques. He had no idea that his warning had not made the two nieces careful. It had made them start planning a "whole family together" scheme instead.

After another full day of work, Wang Yue could finally fold the trait of Level-Eight Gale into that one simple straight strike of Jade Shattering Palm.

For now he could only complete a single rotation of true qi, turning a move that used to be twice as strong as a normal attack into four times. That was still nowhere near Level-Eight Gale’s thirty-two times, but it was a start.

If he kept deriving it, one day he would be able to fold that trait into Jade Shattering Palm and even more techniques, and the number of true qi rotations would keep rising.

In those other moves, rotating true qi was far harder than in Level-Eight Gale, and the number of turns would never match it. The power would still jump.

Take Jade Shattering Palm. It had only been a high-grade Mysterious-rank technique, and because it focused more on variation, its power was only twice a normal attack. Complete two true qi rotations and it would hit eight times a normal attack, already equal to a high-grade or even peak Earth-rank technique.

Even if Wang Yue’s true qi purity never rose again, he was confident he could push other techniques to three rotations. When that happened, the Wang Family’s Jade Shattering Palm would reach Heaven-rank power.

The only pity was that he still could not solve Level-Eight Gale’s need to gather force before striking.

On top of that, Jade Shattering Palm had only finished its simplest move.

He still had a long road ahead.

After Wang Qianqian and Wang Shanshan showed off in their rooms, by evening everyone inside the Wang Family Estate knew the two of them had also dual cultivated successfully with Wang Yue. Their cultivation had jumped from Quench Body straight to the eighth layer of Concentrate Spirit, not far from Earth Threshold.

Those who knew the truth silently cursed Wang Yue as a beast who would not even spare family members.

Those who did not know the truth were wild with joy.

They were not only happy for Qianqian and Shanshan. They were happy for themselves.

The first time Qianqian and Shanshan tried, they had failed just like everyone else. Now they had suddenly succeeded.

What did that mean? One failure did not mean every try would fail. Everyone still had a chance.

That night cousin Wang Yue was the first to come knocking, insisting on trying with him again.

The next day, under Liu Ruoshi’s lead, there was another full-family attempt.

The result was no surprise. Not one person succeeded.

Liu Ruoshi no longer wanted to summarize any pattern. The only pattern this thing had was that it had no pattern, like a lottery no one could control. Everything depended on Heaven.

Still, since Qianqian and Shanshan could succeed, that meant there was hope for everyone. Keep waiting, try every few days, and success would come sooner or later.

After trying with each of them, Wang Yue was about to leave when Liu Ruoshi called him back.

"Grandmother, is something wrong?" Facing his grandmother, Wang Yue, even though his cultivation was already higher than hers, felt very guilty.

Besides him, the only man, the Wang Family now had seventeen women, and he had already been with seven of them. If Grandmother found out, he did not dare imagine the result.

Liu Ruoshi of course did not know what was turning in her grandson’s head. She said kindly, "Tomorrow the Three Great Families of Golden Mountain City will take the lead, together with the Bao Family and Feng Family of Gusu, and hold a summit. You will represent the Wang Family."

Gusu was also a first-rate big city, sitting between Golden Mountain City and Tianhai. Before spiritual energy recovered, the two cities had almost been neighbors. Now they were thousands of li apart.

The Bao Family and Feng Family held a place in Gusu much like the three great families in Golden Mountain City. The two sides had cooperated for years and counted as friendly forces.

"Me?" Wang Yue was startled. These past three years, because Aunt Chen Rong was too soft, Mother was cold, Aunt Yan had no official status, and third aunt Huang Yuexiang was brilliant but a bit of a homebody, events like this summit had always been handled by Liu Xinru. He had not expected Grandmother to send him this time.

Clearly, Grandmother was formally starting to train him as the family’s helm.

He did not reject it. It was not that he craved the power. As the only man in the house, he had to pick up this burden and carve out a clear sky for all the beauties at home.

He was also glad to do it.

"But eldest sister-in-law...?" Wang Yue asked on purpose. With her relationship to him she would never fight him for the wind, but Grandmother did not know that layer, so he still had to pretend.

"I already spoke with her. She was the one who suggested you go." Liu Ruoshi smiled. These juniors yielding to each other instead of scheming and grabbing made her very glad.

Looking at Grandmother’s smile, Wang Yue drifted for a moment.

In his memory Grandmother was a very serious, even stiff person. From childhood until now he had almost never seen her laugh. He had not expected her smile to be this beautiful.

Fine. Even without smiling, Grandmother was a great beauty. Because of her nature he had always both respected and feared her. He was used to it, and with someone as flawless as Mother beside him for comparison, he had not thought much of it.

That lifelong awe meant he did not dare have improper thoughts about his grandmother. He only blanked for a second, then came back and nodded.

"All right. Grandmother, rest easy. I will do it well."

"Mm. Go. Prepare properly." Liu Ruoshi’s smile bloomed and vanished, but that stunning instant was carved deep into Wang Yue’s mind.

After leaving Grandmother’s main residence, Wang Yue went straight to eldest sister-in-law Liu Xinru’s home.

For tomorrow’s summit, even though it was his first time in such a setting, he was not nervous.

This era worshipped strength. With his current peak Nascent Soul cultivation, he already sat at the top of the whole Golden Mountain region on the surface. The only one who could stand beside him was the head of the Martial Artists Alliance’s Golden Mountain branch.

With true qi more than thirty times purer than an ordinary martial artist’s, Wang Yue was sure that even that Alliance head was no match for him.

With strength came confidence. Nervousness did not exist.

Not being nervous did not mean he could treat it lightly. If he lost composure at the summit, it would be the whole Wang Family’s face that was lost.

Right now eldest sister-in-law had the most experience with this. Of course he had to ask her.
