Chapter 1711 — Aren't You Leaving Yet?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
In his eyes, Pangolin had been no more than a minor figure. Why would he have paid attention to such a matter? Since Yu Shuixing was dead, Wei Zhao considered it revenge for Pangolin all the same.
Wei Zhao strode toward the conference table and sat directly in the seat of honor where Yu Shuixing had been sitting. He swept his gaze over the various family heads around the table. Under his scrutiny, they grew uneasy and lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes. Only Elder Liu Zhenhu gave Wei Zhao a friendly nod.
The atmosphere in the conference room grew strange. Everyone had come to attend the great families' gathering hosted by the Yu family, but now that the Yu family head was dead, there was no reason for the gathering to continue. And yet not one person dared be the first to rise and leave. Who knew whether this ominous killer, Wei Zhao, might suddenly turn on them?
If he had dared kill even Yu Shuixing, who else would he hesitate to kill?
"The Four Great Families and the Five Lesser Families. Now there are only eight left." Wei Zhao looked around the people at the conference table, his gaze finally settling on Divine Physician Kang.
Divine Physician Kang had long since lost his composure. He sat as if on a bed of needles. He and Wei Zhao were old enemies, after all; they had fallen out at the birthday banquet long ago. He had not the slightest doubt that Wei Zhao would dare kill him on the spot.
"Divine Physician Kang, what are you still sitting here for? Get out." Wei Zhao glanced at him and spoke in an even tone.
"I... I will leave at once..." Divine Physician Kang rose as though pardoned from a death sentence and hurried to leave with Kang Guifeng. He no longer had any thought of elevating his family to the rank of a great family. To preserve his life was already blessing enough.
"Wait. Take your in-laws, the Xiao family, with you. The lot of you can get out together." Wei Zhao pointed toward the two Xiao brothers.
Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben had long been Wei Zhao's adversaries. But even the reclusive Pi family had not dared make trouble for Wei Zhao. What right did the two of them have to question his orders? They exchanged a glance, then rose from their seats with their tails between their legs.
"An Liwen, do I really need to call your name?" Wei Zhao said, glancing toward An Liwen and An Mingyue.
"Wei Zhao, we've always gotten along well. Have you forgotten? When I was pursuing Gu Mengyao, you were the one who gave me most of my advice," An Liwen asked, feigning sincerity.
"From this day forward, the Four Great Families and the Five Lesser Families are history!" Wei Zhao did not answer An Liwen. Instead, he said, "The old order of the great families no longer exists. I intend to reorganize everything. But An Liwen, I have no place for you in it."
"Forget it. Our An family has never been good at cultivation. Even when we were counted among the great families, we were only there to make up the numbers. Since that is what you want, Wei Zhao, our An family will leave." An Liwen understood the wisdom of not provoking a man while he held the upper hand. He rose and prepared to depart.
To tell the truth, An Liwen did not care about the title of a great family in the slightest. The An family was currently occupied with helping the Fire Wolf Gang, and whether or not they carried that title made no difference.
