Chapter 2339: Chapter 2340: Guan Nan
Zhongli Wuwang seemed to have sensed something, glanced at Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao, and then sneered, "What a pity, I originally intended to meet Commander Xue, but since he’s not here, I’ll wait for him to come back!"
With that, Zhongli Wuwang walked straight to a corner not far from Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao, staring at them unwaveringly.
Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao knew that Zhongli Wuwang did this on purpose, but they couldn’t react, as Zhongli Wuwang was famously troublesome among the Bing Family.
So even though they were being watched like thieves, the two could only pretend not to see.
The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.
Gu Wangya looked at the predatory gaze of Zhongli Wuwang and the uneasy expressions of Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao, and couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
It’s true what they say, evil must be fought with evil!
Just as Gu Wangya was sighing inwardly, the Song Family people arrived.
Song Yuze appeared, dressed in mourning attire, solemnly paying his respects, then cast a meaningful glance at Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao.
He had already heard on the way that Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao hadn’t left after the memorial service but stayed behind, seemingly plotting something.
Indeed.
The scene matched the rumors perfectly.
Oddly, Gu Clan and Zhongli Family hadn’t left either, instead taking positions in opposite corners, vaguely forming a standoff against the Long Family and Sima Family.
Seeing this, Song Yuze pondered for a moment, then chose an inconspicuous corner to sit.
The Song Family, being weaker, naturally needed to assess the convoluted situation ahead of time.
The Lü Family, Bai Family, Tao Family, and others arriving later thought similarly.
Thus, soon the entire courtyard was filled, with all eleven branch veins present.
Among the Yue Clan members, an inexperienced youth couldn’t help but ask an elder beside him.
"What are these people planning? Why don’t they leave?"
The elder’s eyes showed hidden anger, "Some are friends, staying out of goodwill, but others are staying to mock us because they think the Yue Clan lacks a super expert to oversee!"
As this Elder of the Yue Family said, the loss of a super expert made the Yue Clan like a skyscraper missing its main beam, constantly at risk of collapsing.
As the situation grew more tense, suddenly a sorrowful cry was heard from afar.
"Yue Shifang!"
The voice was hoarse and piercing, reaching everyone present.
People raised their heads to see, then saw a figure streak towards them like lightning, landing in the courtyard in an instant, revealing a person wearing a fine gold mask.
His appearance caused a stir among the crowd.
Especially within the Yue Clan camp, where someone shouted in surprise, "It’s the previous Commander of the Yue Clan!"
The Second Lady and Yue Qinghuan trembled.
For it was none other than Yue Guannan, revered as the War God of the Yue Family, who had led the Yue Clan’s finest troops for a thousand years!
Though her mask had changed greatly over time, her physique and aura remained unchanged, even more melancholic than before.
The Second Lady and Yue Qinghuan hadn’t expected Yue Guannan to appear suddenly at this time.
As they were frozen in shock, Yue Guannan rushed to the coffin and stood there, dazed.
On the coffin lay the still body of Yue Shifang.
In an instant, tears fell from Yue Guannan’s eyes, rolling down the exquisite mask.
She stood there silently crying.
The other eleven branch veins reacted variously upon seeing her.
Some were relieved, while others rejoiced, but only Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao exchanged a dark look, seeing the apprehension in each other’s eyes.
Despite not achieving high rankings at martial arts tournaments, Yue Guannan, who once led the finest troops of the Yue Clan for a thousand years, had seen the Family Head Yue Shifang undergo Soldier Solution Reincarnation several times.
Each reincarnation meant at least three years of power vacuum, yet the Yue Clan never faced turmoil, remaining stable under Yue Guannan’s watch.
This demonstrated Yue Guannan’s formidable presence.
Only recently she vanished, replaced by the mysterious Xue An.
This gave both the Long Family and Sima Family a sigh of relief.
But unexpectedly, she returned today upon hearing the news.
Now things have become tricky.
This frustrated Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao immensely.
At this moment, Yue Guannan, who had been silently sobbing, suddenly laughed lightly.
But the laughter sounded utterly despairing.
Her shoulders trembled, like a butterfly with broken wings in a storm, helpless and hopeless.
"Brother, perhaps it’s good that you’ve passed, sparing you the repeated agony of Soldier Solution Reincarnation! However..."
Yue Guannan paused, "But now that you’re gone, what am I to do?"
Her words became choked with sobs.
Those who heard fell into silence.
Many from the Yue Family began to cry quietly.
Only Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao lit up with interest, like discovering new territory.
Brother?
She called Yue Shifang brother? What is their relationship?
As they pondered this, Yue Guannan suddenly trembled and slowly removed her mask, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face.
Yet this face was marked by pale sorrow and tear stains.
The whole crowd gasped at this revelation.
Gu Wangya’s eyes widened, murmuring in disbelief, "So the legendary War God of the Yue Family is a woman!"
Zhongli Wuwang was stunned, only gasping after a long while.
"A woman? This is frightening!"
For him, Yue Guannan’s achievements as a woman were simply incredible.
Others were equally stunned.
Even many from the Yue Family were shocked.
Because only a few knew Yue Guannan’s true identity within the Yue Clan.
Only Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao, after their initial shock, exchanged a quick glance, then an indescribable expression appeared on their faces.
Like wolves on the prairie, observing prey for days, finally spotting a chance to strike, ruthless and terrifying.
