Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

No way?

No way.

This couldn’t possibly have anything to do with that old scoundrel Zong, right? Zong is a rather straightforward person, and there’s hardly any nonsense surrounding him. He’s simply come to the State Capital to earn some money, and people like him are quite common here.

Wang Haoran took a deep breath and beckoned Feng Zhaoyang to come over. While pouring Feng Zhaoyang a cup of tea, he continued, "Yes, I’m not sure how much you know about him. Could you describe the events between you two in detail?"

Wang Haoran looked serious.

"Oh, okay!"

Feng Zhaoyang was puzzled. Why has Wang Haoran suddenly started asking about Zong Liangqing again? Hadn’t he already succinctly explained before? Why was he being asked again? Was it because Wang Haoran doubted his previous explanation, or was there something wrong with his head, wanting him to repeat the story?

With these thoughts in mind, Feng Zhaoyang decided not to drink the hot tea and, after thinking it over, tried to recount as completely as possible:

"Responding to Lord Wang."

"Here’s how it happened."

"Earlier, I met Zong Liangqing during the sect competition event, which you also know about. I was in a slump due to some issues with the Legendary Sect. And because his sect also had a Golden Core Stage disciple, I decided to talk to a sect leader of similar cultivation, and later found him. Then, we ended up drinking together."

Recalling the situation back then, there was still quite a lot of joy on Feng Zhaoyang’s face. They drank together, got drunk, and casually shared some heartfelt and embarrassing words. Honestly, when men pour out their hearts, it can be rather corny. But it was a nice memory, after all. If it weren’t for the issues with the Legendary Sect, Feng Zhaoyang might have never known Zong.

Then.

After a pause.

Feng Zhaoyang continued:

"The sect competition lasted a month, and after that, I didn’t see Zong for a long time. This time, we met again because he learned about Gong Kuiniang’s situation and wanted more information from Li Ruolan to make some money. He hid near Gong Kuiniang, and incidentally bumped into me, leading us to hit it off immediately."

Feng Zhaoyang felt quite relaxed now. Remembering these moments brought back good memories, and how many memories does a person have after all?

Talking about these memories felt pretty good.

However, after finishes telling the story with a cheerful smile, he started noticing something was amiss. Why was he feeling content, playful, and shy, while Wang Haoran had his brows furrowed and was giving off vibes as if saying, "You guys are doomed"?

What’s up?

Is there anything wrong with these events? Could there be a problem with the friendship between me and Zong? Isn’t this just human nature? When people are suffering, they open up, and if there’s someone trustworthy to vent with about the unfairness of life, that’s friendship.

Right?

There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly wrong.

Yet Wang Haoran remained silent, still projecting a serious and contemplative demeanor, making Feng Zhaoyang a bit uneasy. After thinking for a moment, he finally had a bit of doubt. He looked at Wang Haoran and asked, "Lord, did Zong Liangqing commit any crimes?"

"If he indeed did something wrong, he definitely didn’t do it intentionally. It must have happened accidentally."

"Can you directly tell me what’s going on? I can immediately go and slap him, and even apologize to you. After all, making money here in the State Capital is quite a challenge. So really, what’s happened?"

Feng Zhaoyang’s thoughts were simple. Given Wang Haoran’s serious demeanor, it must be that Yuchi did something, right? Could it be the incident with Li Niantao?

That can’t be it. Yuchi handled Li Niantao’s subject quite well, joking about how Yuchi isn’t a man for letting go of such an earthly beauty like Li Niantao. But logically, if he were Yuchi, he would also act the same way, definitely not being reckless. This kind of thing is rather risky, and no recent news suggests anything between Yuchi and Li Niantao, so everything seems fine.

So if it’s not about Li Niantao, could it be Wan Qishang’s situation?

Hmm... that’s even less likely. Yuchi even brushed off Li Niantao with her quirky personality. Can Wan Qishang easily sway him with just a few moves? If Yuchi could be toppled so easily upon first meeting her, then Feng Zhaoyang surely would have misjudged him.

Or perhaps it concerns Bu Luohua?
