Dragon's Origin

Chapter 715: Not Afraid of Experts (Part 1)

Only when Song Yan had completely melted into a puddle did she finally lie in Wang Sheng's arms, allowing him to continue recounting his grudges with Uncle Li.

Wang Sheng embraced Song Yan's body and continued to tell the story. He quickly recounted the incident at the Changsheng Duke's residence in the capital, where Wang Sheng and Uncle Li beat each other with boxing gloves, giving Uncle Li a severe lesson.

"Lingxu Old Ancestor can suppress Uncle Li?" Song Yan's eyes lit up, immediately realizing the key point.

"Even if Uncle Li had ten times the guts, he wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the Old Taoist." Wang Sheng sneered. It wasn't that he looked down on Uncle Li, but when he and Uncle Li clashed, the Old Taoist was already at the twelfth level. Now, the Old Taoist was at the thirteenth level, while Uncle Li was still at the eleventh level. With a difference of two major levels, the Old Taoist could easily crush Uncle Li to death.

"Then let the Old Ancestor accompany you. If that Uncle Li dares to disobey, kill him on the spot!" Song Yan immediately had an idea: "Even if he obeys, find an excuse to kill him after he kills those super demon beasts!"

The sudden appearance of an epic-level expert in Worry-Free City made Song Yan feel greatly threatened. The Daoist sect having an expert like Lingxu Old Ancestor wouldn't be seen as a threat because of the Daoist sect's millennia-long behavior and the fact that the Grand Master of Old Lord Temple had recently declared at the Daoist gathering that he would not interfere in worldly affairs, which reassured everyone.

But while the Daoist sect could reassure everyone, Worry-Free City could not. It was a joke. How could a city full of assassins compare to the Daoist sect? In normal times, even if Worry-Free City had a hundred more red-card assassins, no one would care. But the sudden appearance of an epic-level expert made it impossible for the various parties to sleep soundly.

As soon as she heard that the Old Taoist could suppress Uncle Li, Song Yan immediately thought of finding an opportunity to eliminate Uncle Li and sever Worry-Free City's thoughts. However, only Wang Sheng could pull off this trick. Just like those great master musicians in the capital, Wang Sheng could start several concerts with a single sentence, but without Wang Sheng, would those great masters even look at anyone?

The same was true for the Old Taoist. Would the Old Taoist hang out with Wang Sheng for no reason? If it weren't for knowing that Wang Sheng was surrounded by so many beauties, some people might even suspect the relationship between the two.

Things that others couldn't accomplish, the Old Taoist could solve Uncle Li with a single sentence from Wang Sheng. What a great plan!

"Are you trying to repeat the old events of five hundred years ago?" Wang Sheng looked at Song Yan and asked openly.

"No!" Song Yan quickly replied: "Haven't we already sent those records to Old Lord Temple to reassure the Daoist sect? Don't worry, everyone isn't stupid. How could we repeat the old events? The eight major sects almost faced annihilation back then. No one wants to experience that again!"

Wang Sheng believed that Song Yan's words were absolutely sincere. However, the eight great families had formed a fixed mindset over the years, which was to suppress or eliminate anyone who posed a threat. This was not something that could be changed in a short period of time.

"If that's the case, you want to find a way to eliminate Worry-Free City just because it has one epic-level expert. What's the difference from five hundred years ago?" Wang Sheng was almost mocking Song Yan: "And you want to let the Old Taoist do it. Do you think the Old Taoist doesn't care about worldly affairs, so he doesn't understand what you're doing?"

In an instant, Song Yan's mind cleared, and cold sweat broke out all over her body. Wang Sheng held Song Yan, feeling it clearly, and quickly reached out, calling out, "Towel!" Immediately, a maid not far away quickly brought one over.

Wang Sheng took the towel and wiped Song Yan up and down before putting her clothes on her. At this time, Song Yan no longer had the desire to continue enjoying herself. She silently put on her clothes with the help of the two maids, watching the four women serving Wang Sheng over there, without saying anything, and waited silently.

"You!" Wang Sheng didn't know how to criticize Song Yan: "Is there only one string in your brain? If you still want to do things this way, even if you suppress Worry-Free City today, what about tomorrow? What if the Divine Prison also produces an expert?"

"The Divine Prison also has experts?" Song Yan was surprised again.

"I don't know." Wang Sheng shook his head directly and sighed again as he looked at Song Yan: "To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. If you don't try to cultivate your own experts, but only think about suppressing others, what if you can't suppress them one day?"

Song Yan was stunned on the spot, unable to say a word.

"Yes, today your eight great families are powerful. But what if those small families and small sects each lose their capital to cultivate an epic-level expert?" Wang Sheng asked Song Yan: "Are you going to kill each family and exterminate their sect? Or are you planning to offend the whole world and wait for those forces to join forces to destroy your Song family? Five hundred years ago, you could join forces to destroy the Lin family. Five hundred years later, can't others also join forces to destroy your Song family?"

At this moment, Song Yan's face was already covered in cold sweat. The two maids and two guards next to her probably didn't have enough brains to understand Wang Sheng's meaning, but seeing the young lady's performance, they didn't dare to breathe loudly and stood honestly by her side to serve her.

"Even five hundred years ago, you didn't actually handle things properly, right?" Wang Sheng asked Song Yan with a smile: "Otherwise, I want to kill someone from five hundred years ago, and you wouldn't find it strange at all. Actually, you all know that she's not dead, right?"

"It's not that I wanted to hide it." Song Yan's complexion finally recovered a bit, and there was a lot of guilt in her eyes as she looked at Wang Sheng: "It's just that I'm the direct daughter of the Song family's head. Some things can't be said to outsiders."

"I didn't blame you for anything." Wang Sheng smiled: "Actually, you didn't laugh at me at the time, and you didn't say that I was whimsical, which was already considered being honest with me. You didn't treat me as an outsider. I can feel it." As he said that, Wang Sheng pointed at Song Yan, then pointed at himself, and reached out to make a hugging gesture.

This was the intimate action of the two not long ago. Song Yan looked at it, but her face immediately turned red, and she gently spat at Wang Sheng and scolded, "Shameless! Who said you're not an… outsider?"

Song Yan's previous pungent style was now rarely shy in front of Wang Sheng, which Wang Sheng found very fresh.

"Then what should we do with the current situation?" Song Yan was, after all, Song Yan. The posture of a young woman was only for a while, and she immediately returned to the style of Queen Song, sincerely asking Wang Sheng for advice.

"In your estimation, can your families unite to keep the other small forces out?" Wang Sheng didn't directly say how to confront them, but asked Song Yan in return.

"Impossible." Song Yan shook her head and blurted out without much thought: "There will always be loopholes that can't be plugged."

"Then why do you have to plug them?" Wang Sheng asked again: "Haven't you heard that it's better to dredge than to block?"
