Chapter 375: The Unexpected Incident at the Wang Family Meeting

At this moment, in the ancient martial world.

In the southwestern part of the Qingyun Holy Land’s jurisdiction.

In the Wang family’s main hall, the annual year-end family meeting was being held as usual.

The family head, elders, and heads of various industries were all present.

On the stage, the family head Wang Yaodong sat in the center, with two elders on either side.

The three of them sat solemnly, sipping tea slowly.

Below the stage, over twenty people stood respectfully, reporting on the business they were responsible for this year.

However, just as a young man stood up to speak.

Wang Yaodong suddenly interrupted him.

“Wang Debiao, I’ve heard that in the past two months, many customers have complained about the poor quality of our goods?”

Hearing the family head’s question, Wang Debiao immediately broke into a cold sweat, nervously defending himself:

“Family head, this is because we had too many orders this year, and we were short-staffed, so we had to rush production, which affected the quality of our goods…”

“Shut up!”

Hearing such an obvious excuse, Wang Yaodong angrily smashed his teacup on the ground, cutting Wang Debiao off.

Then, he took out a packet of tea leaves.

After showing it to the two elders beside him, Wang Yaodong harshly threw the tea leaves at Wang Debiao’s face.

“Look at this, this is your product!”

“How can I face people with this stuff!”

“Are we doing business just once? Do we plan to quit after this deal?”

Wang Yaodong’s face darkened.

“I remember, the family gave you a lot of money. If you were short-staffed, couldn’t you hire more people?”

“And…”

“I heard you’ve been frequenting various brothels and restaurants lately, not even showing up at the tea house for days?!”

Realizing that his embezzlement had been exposed, Wang Debiao finally panicked and immediately knelt down, kowtowing heavily.

“Family head, I will definitely ensure the quality of our products! I will definitely ensure it!”

“I will eat, drink, sleep, and live at the tea house, supervising the workers to ensure quality and quantity!”

“I won’t leave until the task is completed!”

However, Wang Yaodong was merciless: “Hmph, there won’t be a next time!”

“Someone, take him away and interrogate him thoroughly. I want to see how much he has taken!”

“Whatever he has eaten, make him spit it all out!”

After Wang Debiao was taken away.

Wang Yaodong looked at the family members below the stage, his tone calm again:

“What’s wrong? Continue with your reports!”

He was about to pick up another cup of tea.

But he noticed that everyone below was staring at him in shock.

No, to be precise, they were staring behind him.

Wang Yaodong turned around in confusion and saw—

“Why are you all staring at me? Didn’t you hear your family head? Continue with your reports!”

A man in black, wearing a ghost mask, was standing quietly behind him.

“What?! I didn’t sense any presence at all?!”

Like the two elders beside him, Wang Yaodong was instantly frightened and immediately stood up, distancing himself.

Extremely vigilant.

Seeing this, the ghost-masked man found it amusing and laughed.

“Kehehe!” An old, raspy laugh.

“Since you’re not continuing, I’ll talk about my business then?”

Wang Yaodong’s face was serious, his expression guarded: “Who are you?”

“Kehehe, you don’t need to know who I am.”

“You just need to know that I’m here for your family’s ‘First Beauty of Yongling Town’!”

“…What do you mean?”

Hearing the mention of his daughter, Wang Yaodong was a bit uncertain.

Judging by the aura, this old man in front of him was definitely powerful.

And from his words, it seemed he was here for his daughter, the “beauty.” Could it be that he wanted…

The ghost-masked man saw through Wang Yaodong’s thoughts and smiled as he explained.

“Family head Wang, don’t misunderstand. This old man isn’t here to eat young grass.”

“The one interested in your little beauty is my disciple.”

“Ever since he saw your daughter, he has been unable to eat or sleep, constantly thinking about her, neglecting his training.”

“As his master, I feel for him, so I had to make this trip.”

“I hope family head Wang can fulfill this wish and let the young couple get married.”

“And the wedding date is set for a week from now!”

The ghost-masked man looked at the three people on the stage and kindly asked, “Alright, I’ve said my piece. Does anyone have any objections?”

“I have an objection!”

Before Wang Yaodong could speak, a hot-tempered elder voiced his opposition.

He looked furious, clearly wanting to take action against the ghost-masked man who had interrupted the family meeting.

Unfortunately—

With a “smack,” the elder was slapped off the stage, unconscious.

Then.

The ghost-masked man clapped his hands, pulled the elder’s chair over, and sat down leisurely, looking around at the Wang family members.

He asked again.

“Does anyone else have any objections?”

“Speak up while you have the chance!”

His voice was gentle.

But the aura around him was like a thousand-pound weight pressing down on everyone.

They trembled, unable to speak.

As the strongest member of the Wang family, Wang Yaodong barely managed to squeeze out a few words, looking incredulous—

“Are you… a legend-level expert?!”

“Of course!”

“……”

A legend-level expert, only found in holy lands!

This meant that the ghost-masked man was from a holy land!

Under the pressure of a legend-level aura.

No one dared to speak for a long time.

Satisfied, the ghost-masked man finally stood up and began to give orders.

“Very well, family head Wang, since no one has any objections, it means you agree to my proposal.”

“Tomorrow, I’ll send my handsome and charming disciple Wang Haoran over.”

“You must treat your future son-in-law well.”

“If I find out that you go back on your word or make things difficult for my disciple.”

“Don’t blame me for being impolite.”

With that, the ghost-masked man lightly gripped the armrest of the chair.

Instantly, countless cracks spread from the chair across the floor, dust flying.

The Wang family members, including Wang Yaodong, were knocked to the ground by the shockwave.

“Of course, you can seek help from Qingyun Holy Land.”

“But before that, I suggest you recall the fate of the Murong family!”

With that, the ghost-masked man’s figure disappeared without a trace.

Leaving behind a group of Wang family members who took a long time to recover.
