Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

If it’s something you can’t do, you just ignore it, right?

Wei Fan’s face turned cold.

He had been uncertain whether the Tang Family had come just to express their gratitude or if they had other motives.

But after Tang Xiao said these words, he knew the Tang Family had ulterior motives.

After talking for so long, it was clear that the Tang Family had long known it was him who saved Tang Xiao. If even the Prime Minister could find out it was him who rescued Tang Xiao, it was impossible for the Tang Family not to know, especially since he had revealed his identity to Tang Xiao that very day.

Which means that when the factions of the Prime Minister targeted Su City from Tongzhou, the Tang Family already knew the reason for the Prime Minister’s faction’s targeting of Su City.

Even if Wei Fan was not very clear about the targeting of Su City or the reasons behind it, later when the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill incident broke out, and Zhang Juzheng’s obvious targeting, the Tang Family should have realized that Wei Fan was being targeted because he saved Tang Xiao, right?

But at that time, the Tang Family made no move, as if it was none of their business, pretending not to know that Wei Fan was targeted because he saved Tang Xiao.

Up to this point, it was still possible that the Tang Family had been unaware that Wei Fan had saved Tang Xiao, but after the battle at Eagle’s Woe Cliff, where Wei Fan displayed a terrifying combat prowess that shook the ages, defeating twenty Divine Realm Martial Sects alone, the Tang Family showed up.

At this time, they finally acknowledged that it was Wei Fan who had saved their Young Master Tang Xiao, and they came to express their gratitude to Wei Fan and sought to establish a connection with him.

Such blatant opportunism, how could Wei Fan not see through it?

When he was just a small figure, the Tang Family ignored his lifesaving favor.

When he shocked the world, the Tang Family remembered him as their benefactor.

Although he never expected any return when he saved Tang Xiao, the Tang Family’s actions still angered him.

If the Tang Family had not brought it up, he wouldn’t have cared.

They didn’t come earlier, and now they come flaunting their power, suggesting he go to the Capital City for help if he needs anything, as if he, Wei Fan, were too dumb to see through this, or as if he were truly desperate and needed to seek refuge with the Tang Family.

Wei Fan sneered at Tang Lian, "Please thank Master Tang for his kind intentions. How about this, you go back and tell him to get rid of the Prime Minister and Zhang Juzheng for me. After all, it’s these two who are causing trouble because of saving your Young Master. It’s difficult for your Tang Family to keep pretending to be deaf and dumb."

Suggesting that if he needed something, he should go to the Tang Family in the Capital City. By now, who in the Great Victory Dynasty doesn’t know that Wei Fan is besieged with troubles due to the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill and is being targeted by the faction of the Prime Minister and Zhang Juzheng?

How could the Grandmaster be unaware of these issues?

If they truly wanted to express their gratitude for his lifesaving favor, they should have resolved these matters behind the scenes, instead of telling him, "We have the ability to help you, but you need to come to the Capital City and ask."

Upon hearing these words, Tang Lian’s expression changed slightly, and he forced a smile, "Young Master Wei, you must be joking. How could the Tang Family have the ability to get rid of the Prime Minister and the Garrison Commander... However, if Young Master Wei is willing, the Tang Family does have some ability to resolve this matter..."

Wei Fan’s reaction was not at all what they had anticipated.

Earlier, he was still courteous, but it seemed he suddenly turned hostile, obviously seeing through the Grandmaster’s Mansion’s intention to manipulate and win him over.

Wei Fan showed a disdainful smile, "Do I need to resolve it? Is this the best the Tang Family can do, trying to manipulate me? You should leave. Before I am moved to kill, you’d better disappear from my sight!"

Tang Lian’s scalp tingled; he didn’t think Wei Fan was joking. Given Wei Fan’s propensity for killing, it wouldn’t be a joke if he decided to kill him.

He immediately cupped his hands, saying, "Take care, Young Master Wei. I bid you farewell."

He understood Wei Fan fairly well and didn’t resort to harsh words.

Wei Fan spoke, "Hold on, take this garbage with you!"

He swept his Heart Spirit over it, finding that the box contained a piece of Tiger Soul Red Gold the size of a chicken egg.

In his Storage Gourd, there were heaps of Divine Soldiers with nowhere to put them; he didn’t care for such a thing at all.

Tang Lian quickly left with the gift box, and once he exited the Demon Suppression Bureau’s doors, his face turned grim, "Ingrate!"

At the entrance of the Demon Suppression Bureau, a carriage was already waiting.

As the Foreign Affairs Steward of the Tang Family, he naturally wouldn’t be out on business alone; a retinue of guards was standard.

"Return to the Capital City!"

Tang Lian boarded the carriage with a sullen face, not planning to linger in Su City.

"Steward Tang, was the progress of the matter not smooth?"

The escort had noticed something off about Tang Lian’s emotions and couldn’t help but ask softly.

Tang Lian sneered, "That Wei Fan doesn’t know what’s good for him, refusing the Grandmaster’s Mansion’s goodwill and returning the gift. He’ll regret it."

Upon hearing this, the few escorts exchanged glances. One of them tentatively asked, "Is Steward Tang unaware that Martial Dao Hong has been killed?"

Was Martial Dao Hong from the Prisoner Dragon Stronghold killed?

Tang Lian was first stunned, then shocked, "Who killed him?"

At this moment, he began to belatedly realize, if Martial Dao Hong had been blocking Wei Fan all this time, and if Martial Dao Hong was not dead, how could Wei Fan appear at the Demon Suppression Bureau?

Earlier, he had been sleeping soundly in the house, completely unaware of what happened outside Su City.

The escort whispered, "It was Wei Fan. He is no longer a Divine Realm Martial Sect; he has broken through to Martial Venerable. Martial Dao Hong’s body is now hanging on the city gate!"

Tang Lian felt a chill in his heart; he had misunderstood everything from start to finish. Wei Fan was no longer a Divine Realm Martial Sect.

Not only did he break through to Martial Venerable in a short time, but he also killed the Dragon Head Martial Dao Hong of the Prisoner Dragon Stronghold.

He could no longer sit still and jumped out of the carriage, running towards the city gate, where he saw an entire figure seemingly cast in gold, impaled on a large pole on Su City’s gate—who else could it be but Martial Dao Hong.

At this moment, there were still a continuous stream of Su City’s citizens arriving to watch.
