"You also mentioned his Immortal Cultivation; the methods of Immortal Cultivators are far more magical compared to Martial Artists!" Lu Youâan picked up his tea and took a sip, then laughed, "Moreover, someone sneaked into the Lian familyâs old residence at the time and burned down their Ancestral Hall!"
"What a deep-seated grudge and hatred this is!"
He laughed with a sense of schadenfreude.
In just half a day, the Lian family had become the laughingstock of the Sea of Spirit.
Such an event was impossible for the Lian family to cover up, as not only their clansmen lived in the town.
Lan Peng rubbed his messy beard, contemplating, "This seems like something Brother Yang would do!"
He had been friends with Yang Zhenshan for twenty years and naturally understood Yang Zhenshanâs temperament.
"Donât be fooled by Brother Yangâs seemingly moral demeanor. Heâs actually full of tricks!" Lan Peng offered a very fair assessment.
His words made Lu Youâan burst into laughter.
"But even if thatâs the case, the Lingxi Yang familyâs conscription canât be avoided!" Lan Pengâs expression turned serious again.
The Law Enforcement Teamâs conscription order had already been issued, and unless the leaders of the three sects intervened, no one could be exempt.
Lu Youâan lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Why donât you go to Lingxi Mountain and take a look? If the Lingxi Yang family needs help, I can help conscript a few people to replace some of the Yang familyâs conscription quotas!"
Yang Zhenshan had saved his life once, and the Lu family definitely owed Yang Zhenshan several lives.
If possible, he naturally wanted to lend Yang Zhenshan a helping hand.
Of course, he wouldnât use people from the Lu family to substitute. After all, the Lu family also couldnât spare anyone right now.
As the saying goes "choose others to be sacrificed, not oneself," the Lu family couldnât spare anyone, but other Martial Arts Families in the Ancient County might be able to provide some Innate Martial Artists.
"Alright, Iâll make another trip to Lingxi Mountain!" Lan Peng said.
...
Yang Zhenshan and Lan Peng arrived at Lingxi Mountain almost simultaneously.
In the tea room of the Yang familyâs ancestral residence.
"Was it really you who did the Lian family affair?" Lan Peng asked Yang Zhenshan, his eyes bright.
"The Lian family, whatâs wrong with the Lian family?" Yang Zhenshan feigned confusion.
Seeing him like that, Lan Peng pointed at him and laughed heartily, "Brother Yang, how could you possibly not know about the Lian family affair?"
"I just returned, you see?" Yang Zhenshan blinked and said.
Lan Peng looked at Li Chang beside him, "Kid, you didnât tell him!"
Li Chang was startled, "I havenât had the chance to report yet, senior."
"Hehe, stop trying to fool me. With something so significant, how could you not report immediately? And you, Brother Yang, youâre not being honest. You keep secrets, hehe, the Gale Grey Wolf of Martial God Level, haha~~" Lan Peng laughed loudly.
Yang Zhenshan felt a bit speechless.
Alright, it seemed he really couldnât bluff them.
Lan Peng knew Yang Zhenshan too well, and was also very familiar with the situation of the Lingxi Yang family.
Though the Secret Martial Guards had always operated very discreetly, Lan Peng still discovered some traces.
Lan Peng had long known that Yang Zhenshan had his own information channels, and Li Chang was specifically in charge of delivering messages to Yang Zhenshan.
"Gale Grey Wolf? I havenât seen it!"
Yang Zhenshan still did not admit.
Lan Peng chuckled and stopped pursuing the matter further; he knew it couldnât be admitted, as doing so would definitely bring big troubles.
"Youâan sent me to ask if you need help regarding the conscription issues?"
"How to help?"
"Find few people to replace part of the conscription quota!"
Yang Zhenshan slightly shook his head, "Letâs forget about it!"
If it could all be replaced, then it would be viable.
But if only part was replaced, it wouldnât hold much significance.
Ding Qiu and Yang Minghao were holding the Jade Tokens, ready to bring their people to the Spirit Source Land at any moment. Having a few outsiders with them would actually make things inconvenient.
This was also the reason why Yang Zhenshan didnât have people from the Lingxi Yang family go to Anhu City together.
"You wouldnât be planning to take all the Innate Martial Artists from the Yang family to Anhu City, would you?" Lan Peng frowned.
"Of course not! I have other personnel at hand!" Yang Zhenshan replied.
"Where did they come from?" Lan Peng asked, curious.
He knew Yang Zhenshan had many secrets hidden, like the Golden Feathered Eagle Lan Peng gave him; Lingxi Mountain doesnât have Golden Feathered Eagles, and previously Yang Zhenshan mentioned that the Flying Slave Eagle was his granddaughterâs spirit pet; however, Yang Zhenshan didnât have descendants at Lingxi Mountain.
Yang Zhenshan gave Li Chang a signal, and Li Chang immediately left. Moments later, he brought Yang Minghao in.
"This is my third son, Ming Hao; Ming Hao, quickly pay your respects to your elder uncle!"
Yang Minghao hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed, "Nephew pays respects to Elder Uncle!"
Yang Zhenshan and Lan Peng were true life-and-death companions, and since he knew Lan Peng was a straightforward man, he didnât mind letting Lan Peng have more insight into the Yang family.
Of course, the existence of the Spirit Source Land must not be exposed.
"Haha, so itâs our virtuous nephew." Lan Peng, at first shocked, then awkwardly said, "Look at you, virtuous nephew came, and you didnât tell me beforehand so I could prepare a meeting gift!"
Yang Zhenshan waved, "No need, Iâve got many descendants; if all came to you for meeting gifts, Iâm afraid even selling the Lan family wouldnât be enough!"
That wasnât an exaggeration by Yang Zhenshan; if he truly summoned all family members, with Lan Pengâs meager resources it indeed wouldnât suffice for meeting gifts.
Lan Peng looked at Yang Minghao, then at Yang Zhenshan, "Seems I underestimated Brother Yang all along!"
Yang Minghao stepped forward to pour tea for Lan Peng, "Please have some tea, Elder Uncle!"
"Haha, thank you very much!" Lan Peng laughed.
