Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Not Afraid of Dragon Guard’s Investigation?

Lin Ruoxue hadn’t expected her daughter to ask such a question, and she paused momentarily before offering a wry smile, "You’ve grown up, and you’ll have the right to choose for yourself; then, your mother will have no reason to stop you. But... with a man as outstanding as Fang Bai, there will surely be many women who like him, and you’ll need to think it over carefully."

"I understand that. The more girls who like big brother, the more it shows how outstanding he is! If I still like big brother when I grow up, I will fairly compete with the other girls and win him over!"

Dongfang Ruhua clenched her little fists, cheering herself on.

......

Crack—

Ah—

The crisp sound of a bone breaking resonated, followed by a scream that was both shrill and agonizing, echoing in the skies above the Wang Family Manor in Yanjing.

"Stop yelling!"

Wang Huashan, known as "The First Master of the Yanjing Wang Family" and "The Sea-Calming Divine Needle," sat grimly on the sofa in the living room of a villa in the Wang Family Manor, glaring at his grandson, Wang Dong, whose legs he had just broken, and shouted sternly.

His voice wasn’t loud, but it contained a whisper of True Yuan, piercing through the eardrums and causing Wang Dong to shiver as if someone had suddenly grabbed his neck, cutting off his screams abruptly.

The severe pain from his broken leg bones was so excruciating that Wang Dong clenched his teeth hard; his face turned pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face like pearls off a broken string.

Jiang Fenglian, who sat by the side, watched her son’s legs getting broken with wide eyes, tears of pain streaming down her cheeks, yet she dared not step forward to plea due to the imposing presence of Wang Huashan.

Wang Jingzhong had his eyes closed, tilting his head to the heavens, his face dark and changing expressions, chest heaving unevenly, fists clenched tightly, filled with resentment.

Although Wang Jingzhong was heartbroken for his son Wang Dong, the old man was determined to punish him this time to mitigate a huge potential threat to the Wang Family, and as a father, he dared not show any dissatisfaction.

Compared to the couple Wang Jingzhong and Jiang Fenglian, other members of the Wang Family present revealed a look of relief on their faces, as if a burden had been lifted, upon seeing Wang Dong being punished.

Naturally, the reason for Wang Dong’s punishment was related to Fang Bai.

After the battle in the ten-mile willow forest in the West Suburb, where Wang Huashan was defeated by Fang Bai with a single move, he was greatly alarmed and knew that if the matter was not handled to Fang Bai’s satisfaction, Fang Bai would not let it go easily.

Immediately upon returning to the Wang Family, Wang Huashan instructed Wang Jingzhong to summon the core members of the family for an urgent internal meeting.

In the meeting, Wang Huashan frankly recounted the event of his duel with Fang Bai in the ten-mile willow forest in the West Suburb and his defeat by a single move, leaving all members of the Wang Family, including Wang Jingzhong, pale-faced.

With mid-level Profound Realm strength, Wang Huashan was the top expert of the Wang Family, and in the entire Ancient Martial World of Huaxia, he was considered a first-class powerhouse, only likely to be defeated in one move by some major Sect leaders or powerful individuals from the Secular Ancient Martial World.

According to Wang Huashan, the fact that Fang Bai had defeated him with just one move indicated his formidable strength; if the Wang Family did not severely punish Wang Dong, the consequences would be unimaginable once Fang Bai took his revenge on the Wang Family.

In a prominent clan like theirs, individual honor or disgrace amounted to nothing compared to the interests of the family. Therefore, when Wang Huashan sought the family members’ opinions, the majority agreed on punishing Wang Dong to give Fang Bai an explanation.

Breaking Wang Dong’s legs and confining him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life was a consensus reached by the core members of the Wang Family after deliberation, hoping to appease Fang Bai’s anger.

With Wang Dong’s legs crippled, it was Jiang Fenglian and Wang Jingzhong who suffered the agony, while other members of the Wang Family either sympathized, remained indifferent, or took pleasure in the misfortune.

"Alright, disperse!"

Wang Huashan looked at his grandson, whose legs had been crippled and who was in unbearable pain, and seemed to age considerably in an instant. With a forlorn wave of his hand, he dispersed other family members, leaving only Wang Jingzhong’s family of three on the scene.

"Dong’er, do you blame me in your heart?"

Wang Huashan walked over to Wang Dong, reached out to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and sighed as he asked.

"No... no blame..."

Despite Wang Dong’s efforts to grit his teeth and endure, the intense pain in his legs still made him shiver all over, speaking intermittently, "I know Grandfather is... is doing it for my own good..."

"If you understand, that’s good."

Wang Huashan sat back down in the sofa, looking out the window with a few traces of fear lingering in his expression, he said in a deep voice, "You have no idea how strong that Fang Bai is! If I hadn’t crippled your legs, once he came for revenge, you might not have even been able to save your own life!"

"Even if he is a Martial Artist, he still has to abide by the secular laws, right? Doesn’t he fear the ’Dragon Guard’ will hold him accountable if he dares to kills someone so brazenly?"

Jiang Fenglian said unconvinced from the side.

Wang Huashan shook his head, with a helpless expression, he said, "Ordinary Martial Artists would certainly fear the ’Dragon Guard,’ but Fang Bai’s strength is such that very few within the ’Dragon Guard’ can defeat him. Moreover, the most powerful members of the ’Dragon Guard’ are all detesters of evil and rigidly upright; even if I went to them, having understood the ins and outs of the incident, they might not be willing to help!"

"Our Wang Family has stood for a hundred years and never feared anyone. Do we have to swallow our pride this time? If so, our Wang Family’s face will be lost completely!"

Jiang Fenglian muttered under her breath.

Wang Huashan knew his daughter-in-law was deliberately provoking him; a surge of anger immediately rose in his chest, and he rebuked her without mercy, "Dong’er ended up like this today; you, as a mother, bear a great responsibility! Don’t concern yourself with the family’s business affairs lately, stay at home and reflect on yourself!"

With that sentence, he effectively stripped Jiang Fenglian of her management rights over some of the family businesses she was handling.

Jiang Fenglian was too angry to speak and felt incredibly aggrieved; she covered her face and burst into tears.

"A woman of your age, what are you crying about? Isn’t that shameful!"

Wang Jingzhong, hearing his wife’s crying, felt his already troubled mind grow even more irritable, and he yelled at her.

"Wang Jingzhong, why are you so tough on me? If you have the gall to be fierce at home, why don’t you go take revenge for our son?"

Jiang Fenglian, who was afraid of her father-in-law Wang Huashan but not her husband Wang Jingzhong, got energized by the words, suddenly stood up from the sofa, hands on hips, eyes wide open, ready to argue.

"You..."

Wang Jingzhong was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, pointing at his wife, he found himself at a loss for words.

"Enough! You two, an old husband and wife, quarrelling in front of the child; what kind of decency is that! Instead of arguing, it would be better to reflect more on this incident, and think about how to diminish the unfavorable impact of this event on the family!"

Wang Huashan, frustrated as if hating that iron cannot become steel, looked at the Wang Jingzhong family of three, snorted, and got up to leave.
