Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1083: Chapter 741: Shadows Rise, Soul-breaking Blade

After taking a seat, Wan Jinsui immediately picked up the gift list from the side and handed it to Yang Zhenshan, saying, "There were some things my family did wrong in the past, I hope you can forgive us, elder!"

It really is an apology!

Yang Zhenshan took the gift list and glanced at it casually, then placed it aside, smiling, "These are merely trivial matters, no need to be so courteous!"

The items on the gift list, how should I put it!

They are already considered precious for the Wan family, but to Yang Zhenshan, they’re indeed nothing noteworthy.

Just things worth about ten Spirit Stones.

Upon hearing Yang Zhenshan’s reply, Wan Jinsui visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Zhenshan didn’t say much, lifted his tea cup for a sip, somewhat implying a gesture to send him away.

Wan Jinsui awkwardly smiled and said, "Actually, junior has another request!"

"What is it?" Yang Zhenshan asked without raising his head.

Wan Jinsui hesitated for a moment, then said, "Elder, recently the Zhang family from Luyuan has been repeatedly harassing our Spirit Land; a few days ago, they even nearly attacked our family territory. So junior hopes to join forces with elder to deal with the Zhang family!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhenshan was slightly moved.

Five years have passed, and the Lu family’s ban on annexing spirit fields has reached its deadline. These Martial Arts families have started to act restlessly again!

The Zhang family from Luyuan is also a neighbor to the Yang family. When the Xiang family was strong in the past, the Zhang family did not oppress them much, but after the Xiang family was wiped out, the Zhang family began to rise up. Over these five years, although the Zhang family haven’t expanded, their actions have become more domineering.

However, this still has nothing to do with the Yang family, with Lan Peng being a significant presence, the Yang family has remained free from various conflicts.

Even if some families engage in skirmishes nearby, they’d concede to Lan Peng’s influence and avoid involving the Yang family.

Of course, this is also because the Yang family doesn’t have anything that those families would covet—not even seven acres of lower-grade spirit field, which isn’t worth risking offending Lan Peng to seize.

"Elder, the Zhang family’s Luyuan is a medium-level spirit field, with over thirty Rock Crystal Persimmons planted within. If elder is willing to join forces with my Wan family to eliminate the Zhang family, my Wan family is willing to fully cooperate with elder, and post-conflict, we’ll abstain from claiming any of Zhang family’s estates!" A ruthless glint flashed in Wan Jinsui’s small eyes.

This fat man is certainly not a benevolent person!

Perhaps the Zhang family had pushed the Wan family too far!

Yang Zhenshan silently sipped his tea. The Zhang family’s Luyuan is indeed desirable, as medium-level spirit fields are scarce in this border area.

And the Luyuan of the Zhang family covers nearly twenty acres of medium-level spirit field, hosting over thirty Rock Crystal Persimmons along with various Spiritual Medicines.

It’s truly a rare piece of Spirit Land.

However, Yang Zhenshan’s desire for Spirit Land isn’t strong; he owns a Spirit Source Land, and doesn’t need to occupy too many Spirit Lands here.

As for Rock Crystal Persimmons, an Earth Attribute Spirit Fruit, they are already grown in the Spirit Source Land, lacking a significant allure to him.

Yet, occupying Luyuan wouldn’t harm; the Lingxi Yang Family should acquire more assets rather than cling to these scant lower-grade spirit fields.

Thinking this, Yang Zhenshan glanced at Yang Xiangheng nearby, whose eyes sparkled, evidently tempted by the Zhang family’s Luyuan.

However, this matter can’t be agreed upon hastily.

"My Yang family has always been benevolent, and dislikes engaging in unethical actions!"

"The Zhang family holds no grudges against my Yang family; why should we easily make a move?"

Yang Zhenshan smiled slyly at Wan Jinsui.

Wan Jinsui was momentarily stunned, then his face blossomed into a friendly smile once more.

Still, he had already begun to grumble inwardly.

What’s this talk of benevolence?

Elder, your words make even me blush!

The key isn’t about having no grudges, it’s about not acting so readily!

This old fellow truly is insatiable.

He hesitated momentarily, then gritting his teeth, said, "My Wan family is willing to offer twenty Spirit Stones as a reward for elder’s assistance, and once it’s done, Luyuan will remain with the Yang family!"

Yang Zhenshan lazily responded, "I just said, I always act with benevolence!"

Only twenty Spirit Stones to make him take action, such an undervaluation!

Although he hankered a bit after the Zhang family’s Luyuan, he wouldn’t agree without question.

He’d still need to investigate the Zhang family’s background first; if they have significant connections, it would be better not to stir trouble here.

Upon hearing this, Wan Jinsui’s face instantly fell, transforming his initially cheerful expression into one filled with deep resentment.

"Elder, it’s not that junior doesn’t understand your concerns, but junior is indeed out of options. The Zhang family has gone too far, demanding we hand over the Golden Pond and submit to them!"

"Elder, please see my earnest sincerity in aiding me; I’ll dedicate all my family wealth to honor elder if you’re willing to help!"

Seeing his demeanor, Yang Zhenshan found it amusing.

Started playing the victim!

Not just playing the victim but attempting temptation, the entirety of Wan family’s wealth; that’s a sizeable amount indeed, isn’t it?

"Haha, no need to rush, Wan Family Head, allow me to deliberate a bit, and I’ll provide Wan Family Head with a response once I’ve decided, alright?" Yang Zhenshan didn’t wholly refuse, leaving space for consideration to assess the situation first.

Wan Jinsui hesitated a moment, then nodded, saying, "Then I kindly ask elder to decide swiftly!"

"Yes, certainly!"

Yang Zhenshan casually responded before escorting Wan Jinsui out.

After Wan Jinsui departed, Yang Zhenshan went to the western side of Lingxi Mountain, which is the Yang family’s martial arts training ground, where Wang Lei was overseeing the Yang family’s young adults.
