Chapter 2281: Chapter 2282: Reactions from All Sides (First Update)
At this moment, the Second Miss burst in hurriedly, and upon seeing Yue Shifang, immediately exclaimed.
"Yue Guannan is gone, did you know?"
Yue Shifang nodded, "I know!"
"I thought so!" The Second Miss calmed herself, then sat opposite Yue Shifang, and said somewhat puzzled, "Why would he leave?"
Yue Shifang smiled, "Maybe that little fellow managed to persuade him!"
"You mean Xue An? How could that be possible? Given his cultivation level and realm, how could he persuade Yue Guannan? There must be another reason!" The Second Miss still couldn’t believe it.
"Regardless of the reason, he is indeed gone now." Yue Shifang said blandly.
"Yes, whatever the reason, he is indeed gone." The Second Miss said somewhat lost.
Originally, she viewed Yue Guannan as a major adversary because his past disrespect toward Yue Shifang clearly displayed his ambition.
But she never expected that Yue Guannan would leave voluntarily before she could even prepare.
This naturally left her with unspeakable shock.
"What are those soldiers doing now?" Yue Shifang didn’t offer any comfort, merely asked casually.
At this, the Second Miss looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"I just got the news, those soldiers are now running under Xue An’s supervision!"
"Running?" Yue Shifang was also taken aback.
"That’s right, running, and they aren’t using any cultivation methods, just pure physical strength!"
Talking about it made the Second Miss find it hard to believe, but the facts were right before her eyes, leaving her no choice but to believe.
Yue Shifang was initially shocked too, but quickly he chuckled softly and leaned back in his chair.
"This Xue An... truly has given me so many surprises!"
At the same time, the news swiftly spread throughout the Yue Clan.
Yue Junze’s father, Yue Hechang, was slightly frowning, pondering over this matter.
Yue Junze, however, was excitedly pacing around the room, mumbling as he walked.
"So impressive, to tame those arrogant soldiers right after taking office, truly worthy of being the man Third Sister fancies!"
Suddenly, he stopped, turned to Yue Hechang.
"Father, since I have nothing to do at home, why don’t I go to the Training Ground too?"
"Hmm?" Yue Hechang woke up from his thoughts, "You want to go to the Training Ground?"
"Yeah! It’s too boring staying at home, I can learn something from Third Sister and Third Brother-in-law!" Yue Junze said eagerly.
Yue Hechang contemplated briefly, then nodded, "Alright, since you want to go, then you shall!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Granted permission, Yue Junze was overjoyed and immediately rushed out.
Watching his son joyfully departing, Yue Hechang couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "This child...."
Then, as if recalling something, he frowned again.
"Why did Yue Guannan leave so suddenly? This matter surely isn’t as simple as it seems!"
Not only was he puzzled, nearly everyone in the Yue Clan found it baffling.
After all, Yue Guannan was an unparalleled war god of the Yue Clan, guarding the Training Ground for hundreds of years.
People had even gotten used to his presence.
Just as Xue An assumed the position of Commander-in-Chief, Yue Guannan left right after.
The implications of this were indeed intriguing.
And as the Yue Clan was embroiled in confusion, the news was spreading at a terrifying pace throughout the Bing Family.
In one of the twelve branch veins of the Bing Family, the Sima Family.
Sima Tiancheng, who had quietly slipped away from the welcome banquet, narrated the whole affair with a solemn expression.
Finally, he mustered the courage to gaze at the distant, indistinct figure of his father, Sima Chongzhao, the Family Head of the Sima Family, up on the high platform.
"Father, I suspect this person is no ordinary individual, otherwise how could he make the war god of the Yue Clan leave immediately after assuming the role of Commander-in-Chief?"
"Oh? Then who do you think he is?" Sima Chongzhao asked blandly.
"I suspect he is likely the descendant of one of the foremost ancient Bai Families, possibly invited by Yue Qinghuan to prepare for her brother’s Soldier Solution Reincarnation!" Sima Tiancheng analyzed.
The matter of Yue Shifang’s Soldier Solution Reincarnation was no secret among the Bing Family.
And with Yue Shifang suddenly disappearing from the public eye for half a year, it was likely due to a worsening of his injuries.
Thus, Sima Tiancheng’s speculation was plausible.
Sima Chongzhao sneered coldly, "If the Yue Clan dares resort to external family aid, it indeed would be a grave offense against the world."
"Who knows! After all, Yue Shifang is on the brink of Soldier Solution Reincarnation, and Yue Qinghuan, being just a woman, is probably unable to bear the entire family responsibility. For the survival of the Yue Clan, they might indeed do this!"
"If that’s the case, then during the martial exercise, show no mercy to the Yue Clan!"
Sima Chongzhao’s tone turned icy and murderous.
"Survival of the fittest, if the Yue Clan can’t sustain themselves, then the Bing Family will henceforth comprise only eleven branch veins!"
"Yes!" Sima Tiancheng bowed and withdrew.
Once Sima Chongzhao was left alone in the room, he remained silent for a moment, then let out a sinister laugh.
"Yue Shifang, having achieved Soldier Solution Reincarnation dozens of times, you truly are ruthless, but I don’t believe you can always be so lucky. Now that my Divine Skill is about to reach perfection, when the martial exercise comes and your Yue Clan fails, it will be your end!"
Long Family.
There came another round of smashing and hysterical roaring from the room.
It was as if a wounded beast lurked inside, chilling and terrifying.
The guards at the door and the passing maids were all silent out of fear, lest they disturb the person inside.
After a long while, Long Zhan slowly opened the door and came out.
His once handsome face was now riddled with scars, making it unbearable to look at.
Not only that, his face and body were covered in thick bloodstains, making him look like a ghastly fiend crawling out of hell.
"Clean up the mess inside!" Long Zhan ordered in a hoarse voice.
"Yes!" The guards and maids hurriedly replied, then entered the room.
Though they were mentally prepared, the scene inside still exceeded their imagination. Seeing the few masses of flesh that could no longer be called corpses, one maid turned pale, bent over, and covered her mouth tightly, struggling to prevent herself from vomiting.
For she suddenly noticed that the corpses were covered in teeth marks, as if a beast had ripped through them.
Connecting this to Long Zhan’s appearance just now, a horrifying realization dawned on them, causing their stomachs to churn.
But Long Zhan was already used to all this.
