Chapter 1292: Chapter 23: Taking Action Against Wang Anye (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3 Chapter 1292: Chapter 23: Taking Action Against Wang Anye (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3 âHello, I am Zhuge Liangcai from the Xinping Town harbor patrol team. Miss, where are you from? Please register your name, age, and origin.â
âMiss, rest assured, the Wang family has a comprehensive welfare institution and we have rescue stations. We can help with any troubles you might have.â
âDoes your father insist on forcing you to marry that old man? Of course, thatâs intolerable. Donât worry, thereâs no need for the Seventh Son to intervene personally. Our Wang family has the appropriate personnel to assist you with your issue, ensuring a one-stop service!â
âWhatever grievances you have, just come to the rescue station and speak out, our colleagues there are professionally trained.â
The Wang family of today was no longer the weak family it had been initially. Even a simple patrol member had to have a good educational background and receive specialized training, each one polite, respectful, with gentle tone and amiable attitude.
After registration,
a total of eight distressed young ladies were all politely âinvitedâ away.
Next, there would naturally be specialized personnel to verify their identities, help those in trouble, and even create troubles for those who werenât in anyâjust to give them help.
Originating from a military household, they couldnât tarnish the good reputation of the charitable Seventh Son.
Green Ji tried several times to provoke discord, but all her attempts were quietly dissolved by those patrol members. Unbelievable as it was, she couldnât find fault or get agitated with the attitude they maintained.
While being âpolitely invited away,â a sense of panic unexpectedly surged in her heart.
As a cultivator of the Purple Abode Realm on the Magic Path, she found herself utterly at a loss with two mere Qi Refinement Realm soldiers. It was a realization that shattered her worldview and understanding. Were these people of the Wang family poisoned or something?
Unable to do otherwise, she could only helplessly look at her Master among the crowd.
âGreen Ji, this mission is of great importance, you must not reveal yourself,â the Chimei Demon Masterâs displeased voice resonated in Green Jiâs mind, âJust continue pretending to be the distressed young lady. Follow along with whatever they say. If you dare to use force and expose our tracks, alerting the Wang family and thwarting your Masterâs plans, donât blame me for being ruthless.â
Green Ji shuddered, gritted her teeth, and obediently allowed the two Qi Refinement Realm soldiers to âescortâ her away.
The Master instructed her not to resist, just to cooperate with them. In caseâŠ
At that moment, she too felt a creeping panic.
She had always relied on her seductive tactics, which most men couldnât resist. This kind of âdefeat followed by captureâ was a new experience for herâŠ
As the eight distressed young ladies were led away, order at the scene returned to normal.
After such a disruption, the Wang familyâs specialized freight wagon also arrived.
The manager leading the team opened the wagon and took out stacks of components and metal plates. Soon, he had transformed the freight wagonâs cabin into a series of large bins.
His practiced manner clearly showed that he was well-versed in this task.
Half submerged in the water, Wang Zongkun banged his massive head against the shore and immediately opened his huge mouth, directing towards the bins and began âpuff puff puffââspewing a mess of items.
In an instant, a pile of clutter tumbled from his mouth into the bins, clanging noisily around.
The bins quickly filled up.
Once one was filled, Wang Zongkun moved on to the next.
In a short while, he had filled dozens of carts with a loud âclang clang bang bang.â
Those who witnessed this spectacle for the first time were utterly dumbfounded, their mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time.
âGood heavensâthat, thatâs Dragon Whale Bones, right? So many?â an intrigued peddler couldnât help exclaiming, âAnd that one, that one⊠isnât that Blood Red Coral and the shell of Dragon Pattern Elephant Clam? So much⊠how much would all this be worth?â
Setting aside those materials hard to recognize, the coral had that unmistakable blood-red pattern, and the dragon pattern elephant clamâs distinctive shell patternâhe was definitely not mistaken!
These were prime materials for Artifact Refining and Alchemy, each piece worth dozens of Qian Gold! Such valuable items just casually piled up in bins without being properly sorted, wasnât this too wasteful?
âHey, whatâs precious treasure to you might not be the same for Mister Anye,â said the quite renowned wandering merchant, Dongfang Wen Tian, who happened to be at the harbor today, chuckling at the comment.
Dongfang Wen Tian was only of middle age, tall and dignified with an extraordinary presence, a Middle Grade Storage Ring on his finger further highlighting his impressive wealth.
âSo, itâs Dongfang in charge.â The surrounding peddlers saluted him, simultaneously feeling both respect and envy.
Dongfang Wen Tianâs great grandfather, Dongfang Cangqiong, also started as an Independent Cultivator Wandering Merchant. But he entered the trade early and received the most benefits from the Wang familyâs development, quickly accumulating wealth.
Fortunately, the senior Dongfang Cangqiong took great care of his fellow wandering merchants and left behind a significant reputation. Now too old to continue, he had passed the responsibility of the family business to his great-grandson, Dongfang Wen Tian.
âMaster Dongfang, do you mean these items arenât good?â some less experienced peddlers asked timidly.
âWhat hasnât Mister Anye seen before? He probably wouldnât care much for these. These items are likely just casually picked up by Master Zongkun from the seabed. The truly valuable items would most likely not be handled so casually.â
