CapĂtulo 1055: Chapter 606: Centennial Bloodline _2
In a flash, Yang Qiangjing spoke with some discomfort, âAncestor⊠I didnât do well.â
âYouâve done very well already. Iâve observed the Yang Family these past few days⊠Although there are some minor issues, on the whole, everything has been going smoothly⊠quite well.â
In fact, when Yang Genshuo first saw Yang Zhushuang and Yang Minrui, he felt quite angry and couldnât help but want to question Yang Qiangjing on how she managed as a leader.
The family was just left so unruly?
Ruining the Yang Familyâs reputation!
Yang Qiangjing even agreed to let Yang Zhushuang enter the National Law Department! What a joke!
But this anger gradually dissipated after three days of observationâŠ
Because he saw two words: balance.
Yang Minrui fantasizes about his sister-in-law, but his work in the Mechanical Department on new equipment development is truly remarkable and full of imagination, not constrained by any fixed form, with a variety of mechanical creations that are wildly creative.
His original âBean Soldiers Arrayâ can instantly deploy an array and set up puppets, forming a powerful mechanical array with highly customized puppet strength. In a Golden Core Stage magic battle, one array can turn the tide of the fight!
Moreover, Yang Minrui, whether pretending or genuinely broad-minded, is very approachable and extremely good at listening to othersâ opinions, earning much public affection.
Yang Genshuo was also quite shocked when he observed this.
He had to admit a fact: humans have dual natures.
Although Yang Minrui fantasizes about his sister-in-law and is shrewd, he is affable and can utilize the right people, making him the most esteemed person in the fourth generation of the Yang Family!
Moreover, he is quite strict in disciplining Yang Zhushuang, but because heâs frequently engaged in social obligations and rarely home, he doesnât realize that Yang Zhushuang often does unspeakable things outside.
That really opened Yang Genshuoâs eyes.
After reviewing the âYang Minrui Chronicles,â he finally understood the past of this fourth-generation eighth member; one can only say⊠thereâs something to it.
As for Yang Zhushuang, Yang Genshuo thoroughly reviewed him too⊠a pure beast.
Bullying neighbor kids when young, roaring in classrooms and contradicting teachers as he grew, was expelled from Xuanwu Academy by his own uncle Yang Min, and even after that, he did not cultivate properly, instead of hanging around with a few cronies causing trouble everywhere, famously uncouth in the fifth generation of the Yang Family.
Many of the Yang Familyâs fifth-generation descendants donât like to associate with him.
Of course, there are also a few who share his bad tastes, whom Yang Genshuo also noted in his little book.
Though Yang Qiangjing is the leader of the Danai Empire, she isnât the boss within the family. She doesnât want to be too harsh on the family members, relying on the Yang Familyâs support, needing the entire Yang Familyâs support for her role.
Thus she manages with the principle of balance, employing those who can get things done, even if they have some bad habits.
This is her foundation for managing the vast Danai Empire and its alliance with the four surrounding dynasties with a cultivation level of only early-stage Golden Core as a young person.
She must employ the Yang Family members.
Even if they are somewhat troublesome, they pose no threat to her and the Yang Family members.
No matter how beastly Yang Zhushuang is, he would never harm the Yang Family members but instead steadfastly maintains the dominance of the Yang Familyâs ruling class.
This is what Yang Genshuo observed over these days: the principle of balance.
So, now he could appear and discuss family matters calmly with Yang Qiangjing.
âAncestor, are you⊠okay? Iâve been worried about you all these years.â
Yang Qiangjing had a hint of concern in her eyes.
Clever as she was, she realized around the third year⊠the ancestor might be in trouble.
Because the ancestorâs usual meticulous nature wouldnât allow him to ignore the Yang Family for so long. However, she told the other Yang Family members that the ancestor had told her he was traveling the world to comprehend the Immortal Dao, so he might not oversee them for a while.
Other Yang Family members naturally believed this, as Yang Qiangjing had the most communication with the ancestor.
The ancestor was also accustomed to entrusting things to Yang Qiangjing.
This kept things hidden for a long timeâŠ
But Yang Qiangjing knew the ancestor must have had a problem.
âHmm⊠Very clever. Iâve indeed encountered some cultivation troubles these past days.â
âIs it the Immortal Dao? Unfortunately⊠Xiao Jing has limited knowledge and cannot help you.â
Yang Qiangjing felt very guilty. When the Yang Family needed something, the ancestor always took care of them, but they couldnât help the ancestor when he was in troubleâŠ
They only knew how to ask the ancestor for support.
Yang Genshuo found it amusing in his heart.
Indeed, they could help me!
If I had talked to you before advancing and learned how to steadily advance to the Foundation Establishment stage⊠maybe this wouldnât have happened.
âItâs nothing, just a minor issue; itâs resolved. However, the time flow differs in the Immortal World and here⊠A day there is equivalent to a year here, for me, itâs only a hundred days, but for you all⊠a century has passed~â
âAncestorâs cultivation connects heaven and earth; surely, nothing can trouble you. A mere hundred years⊠everyone is still here. With you back, weâre relieved.â
Yang Qiangjingâs concern moved Yang Genshuo greatly.
âEnough of the sentimental words, too many things happened in this century⊠I havenât sorted it all out, but thereâs one point you got wrong.â
âHmm?â
âNot everyone is still here.â
Yang Qiangjing immediately asked, âAre you referring to⊠Yang Feng?â
âNot just him, many others⊠have gradually disappeared from my sight, but first, tell me about Yang Feng. This matter⊠is greatly related to you as well.â
Yang Genshuo reviewed Yang Qiangweiâs ârecordsâ and found that Yang Feng resigned from his position as the Feng Family Head forty years ago and left, never to return.
Just from Yang Qiangweiâs records, Yang Genshuo couldnât see the main cause.
The actual reason must be known by an insider.
Yang Genshuo saw the most important noteâŠ
âAfter discussing with Yang Qiangjing, Yang Feng decided to leave the Feng Family and mentioned it to Yang Qiangwei, who did not stop himâŠâ
The inside story, perhaps only Yang Qiangjing knows.
She should be the last person to have seen Yang Feng.
And it was already forty years ago.
Yang Qiangjing naturally knew the ancestor had the power to trace the past, so she easily recounted it without much thought:
âBack then⊠Yang Feng and Sister Weiwei were already estranged; instead of keeping them awkwardly together, it was better to let them pursue their own paths. Yang Feng had long been able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but he kept suppressing his cultivation for Sister WeiweiâŠâ
The detailed story unfolded gently from Yang Qiangjingâs lips.
Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei, this celestial couple, already showed signs of rift before Yang Genshuoâs retreat.
Yang Feng didnât want to use the evil techniques in the âReverse Flow Techniqueâ to enhance himself, and refused to control captives from the Shangguan Family with the demonic Daoist spells of Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing, so he delayed in taking action against them, while Yang Qiangwei had no such scruples, converting them into her puppets without consulting Yang Feng.
That was where their first rift appeared.
Yang Qiangwei claimed she acted on the ancestor and Xiao Jingâs advice, everything for the family. Without those nine late-stage Golden Core Piano Masters, they couldnât control the Demon Clan and prevent the nuclear bombs from breaking them.
Back then, Yang Feng could only acquiesce, thinking it an unavoidable move, but as Yang Genshuo left, the rift between the two grew larger.
Yang Qiangwei found it rewarding.
Six top-tier puppets were a significant force; the feedback from the âSoul Capturing Techniqueâ directly elevated her Realm to the Golden Core stage!
She grew stronger; even without relying on Yang Feng, she had her own strength.
Thus, she not only controlled six puppets for a long time but also diligently practiced the âSoul Capturing Techniqueâ chapter, mastering the first volume of âReverse Flow Techniqueâsâ evil skillsâŠ
Yang Qiangwei said she never wanted to see Yang Feng captured again while she stood helplessly by⊠waiting for others to rescue her husband; she wanted to become strong on her own, as strong as Yang Feng!
If both improved their cultivation, the âReverse Flow Techniqueâ would unleash greater power.
Yang Qiangwei wanted to become strong, but Yang Feng opposed using such methods for strength, causing increasing conflict between them.
As time went on, Yang Qiangweiâs cultivation grew stronger, while Yang Feng gradually distanced further from herâŠ
âUntil 40 years ago, Sister Weiwei opened a doorâŠâ
âShe made a deal with the Reverse Flow SectâŠâ
