Chapter 1519 - The Young Lord’s Child (4)”

Chapter 1519 “The Young Lord’s Child (4)”

She extorted so much money from Ling Lang, it’s only natural that she spends it. Not like Bai Yan could take it back to the other side and use it, right?
……
The manors of the four clans are all within one area, therefore the news of Bai Yan’s return had also spread at a whirlwind speed.
Ignoring the Lin Clan who came after the demise of the Bai Clan, both the Tian Clan and Fu Clan would undoubtedly be startled by the news. This was especially true when word spread of Wen Shan being walked all over by his own daughter.
It’s a well-known fact on how much of a coward this bastard was. After all, he didn’t lift a finger after his wife got murdered by them. This meant that unless Bai Yan’s strength had surpassed her old man, what transpired wouldn’t be possible.
“This girl’s been missing for ten years, and now she’s back, and for ten years, we haven’t heard from her at all!” Tian Wind of the Tian Clan frowns as he spoke, his finger drumming the table as he contemplated the issue.
Sitting in front of him was another individual, a middle-age beauty with a body worthy of being called a model. As she carefully poured a cup of tea for the man across from herself, her soft smiling face showed she didn’t seem worried: “It’s nothing to be worried about just because her strength is higher than Wen Shan’s. There’s still the current head of the Wen Clan taking charge. Besides, even if the Wen Clan fears her, our Tian Clan isn’t. However…” Squinting her eyes, the beauty curves those lips into a snarling sneer, “Nipping the flower in the bud is the smarter option. Her talent is not bad so we can’t let her continue to grow.”
Bai Yu’s apprentice is already a cripple so that’s not a threat. As for Ling Kaiyuan’s daughter-in-law (Bai Yan’s aunt)… it’s nothing to fret either. That old general may be a founding member of the nation, but he’s not going to mobilize the military just for one clan. That’s unreasonable and unrealistic. Others in the government will definitely stop him before then.
There’s actually good reasoning behind this lady’s logic. Unlike in the other world where one’s personal power reign supreme, on Earth it’s about a country’s strength. What does it matter if a family clan had a lot of influence and abilities? A few missile rockets and a nuke would do the trick right then and there. They’re martial art’s cultivators, not celestial or demonic cultivators like Bai Yan has become. There’s a big difference between a mortal and an immortal!
“Yue Snowing,” Tian Wind warmly reaches out to take hold of the woman’s hand, “Your older brother…. Doesn’t he have that person’s trust? Do you think we can find a way to get our daughter closer to the young lord?”
Snowing’s expression promptly changed for the worse at the mention: “I don’t know. Since a few years ago where the young lord fell ill, he’s had a major change in temperament. Besides, I’ve heard the young lord now has a child he made with an unknown woman from the outside. The idea won’t turn out well.”
The four family clans are all subservient to the Water Clan, all for the one very single reason – there’s a special existence inside that House.
Unlike the other inferior clans that could come and go with time, the Water Clan has been around for hundreds of years, each generation producing countless talents in its wake. However, that’s not enough to secure their position as the head, rather it’s because there’s a sacred beast under their control. The creature’s able to control the water, thus making them the defacto ruler of the martial world.
Imagine having a tsunami hit you from out of the blue, or a raging hurricane that wouldn’t recede, no normal person could withstand such a might.
