Chapter 158 - 19: Blazing Sun
Hong Family, Hong Weiqing’s study.
Hong Bangzhao sat opposite Hong Weiqing once more.
This time, there was a beautiful woman beside him, Hong Wenli, who had attacked Lin Yuan a few days ago.
Hong Bangzhao’s expression was calm; inviting Hong Wenli today was precisely to show Hong Weiqing his previous speculations about Lin Yuan.
"Wenli, you did well." Hong Weiqing looked at Hong Wenli, a satisfied look surfaced on his face, and he praised her.
"The Pei family reacted quickly; otherwise, given a little more time, I would surely have been able to cut Lin Yuan down with my sword." Hong Wenli wasn’t proud, just shook her head in regret.
"There’s no rush in this matter; whether we kill him or not won’t make much difference." Hong Weiqing chuckled, straightening his posture: "I’ve received news that the selection of disciples for the martial arts academy is likely to be advanced. In the near term, do not slacken off; prepare accordingly, it might be an opportunity."
Hong Weiqing advised Hong Wenli: "Once you return, offer an additional twenty percent as a tribute; strive to enter the martial arts academy and pave the way for our Hong family to enter the higher city."
"Yes, Family Head!" Hong Wenli stood up and bowed, responding earnestly.
After Hong Wenli left, Hong Weiqing spoke indifferently, "The insider has reported that it may only be a few days until the matter with the Pei family is settled."
"I invited you here today to hear your opinion. What do you think of the current situation?"
