“Zhe Er, you… how can you say such things?” Gongsun Hui had not expected the always obedient Wang Shouzhe to make such a shocking statement.
“Fifth sister-in-law, I think what Shouzhe said makes sense,” Wang Dinghai admitted, somewhat impressed with Wang Shouzhe today, and immediately added, “Knowing how long Old Ancestor Longyan can uphold our family would help everyone be mentally prepared.”
The expression on Gongsun Hui’s face changed several times before she finally said, “This is a family secret. When I went to report to Old Ancestor Longyan a few days ago, she told me herself that if she doesn’t take action, she can maintain control for another twenty years. If she does… it’s hard to say.”
Twenty years? Wang Shouzhe thought to himself, it was far longer than he had imagined and perhaps this meant there could be a chance for a turnaround.
“Zhe Er, you are the family’s only hope,” Gongsun Hui said with a grave expression, “For the time being, our Wang family should continue to keep a low profile and endure in silence, focusing all of our efforts on helping you break through to the Spirit Platform Realm within twenty years. We mustn’t create any troubles!”
“Yes, yes, Sixth Uncle will find ways to catch more Spirit Fish to sell and gather resources for you,” Wang Dinghai agreed enthusiastically, “Only if you can break through to the Spirit Platform Realm can our Wang family truly be saved.”
“Me, break through to the Spirit Platform Realm? Then what?” Wang Shouzhe said with a cold sneer and a sniff of disdain, “Let’s not even discuss whether I can make the breakthrough. Even if there’s a chance, do you think the Liu Clan and Zhao Clan will just watch me do it? Will they give me twenty years? Moreover, even if I’m lucky enough to make it, I’ll just be another Old Ancestor Longyan!”
As a transmigrator, Wang Shouzhe naturally was able to step outside the box of the Wang family’s usual way of thinking.
His words chilled Gongsun Hui and Wang Dinghai to the bone, realizing that they had been living under the protection of Old Ancestor Longyan, believing that the Liu and Zhao clans would not truly turn against them.
