Several days have passed since the incident at the Lotus Pavilion of the Summer Garden.

During this period, the Liu and Zhao clans seem to have fallen into silence, no matter what actions the Wang family takes, they continue to hold back. It’s as if they’ve transformed into two wounded tigers lurking in the dark, licking their wounds and waiting for the right opportunity to retaliate against the Wang family.

With Wang Shouzhe’s tactics, he naturally wouldn’t miss such a golden opportunity to develop. Waves of propaganda continued to unfold in the area of Ping’an Town.

Using the navy and a large amount of direct water strategy to carry out their propaganda, in a short time, the causes and consequences behind the battle at the gate of the Wang family’s main residence, as well as the different performances of the three major prominent families, spread throughout the entire Ping’an Town.

The war of public opinion! The war of propaganda!

Many common people start to discuss eagerly, passing the story of Wang family’s history and the story of how the ancestor Zhou Xuan moved south to establish Ping’an Town. They also speak of how Zhou Xuan, the founder, died gloriously while resisting the Level Five fierce beast, the Golden-winged Sun- Eating Tiger.

Many of those who experienced the great disaster fifty years ago have passed away. Even those who are alive were young children at the time, or they simply can’t remember clearly and do not understand the actual situation.

Under the Wang family’s large propaganda offensive, the twenty thousand residents of Ping’an Town slowly gained a clear understanding. It turned out that Ping’an Town was established by the Wang’s ancestor Zhou Xuan, who led his clan to develop the land over a period of nearly a hundred years. The Liu and Zhao Clans were actually run-down households who could not make a living in the County Town, and they came to join the Wang family midway as helpers.

They learned more about the ins and outs of the great disaster fifty years ago. Not only did Liu and Zhao clans pretend to be dead, but they also let in fierce beasts, causing the death of civilians and even leading to the death of the ancestors Zhou Xuan and Qiongyuan.

The Wang family’s reputation and prestige were rapidly soaring, while the notorious names of the Liu and Zhao clans continued to spread. Many people couldn’t help but spit in contempt and disgust when mentioning them.

No wonder, in any era and any world, human nature is the same. People worship heroes and detest and despise sneaky villains.

Wang Shouzhe was in a side hall of his courtyard, leisurely handling family affairs. After ending his daily cultivation and replenishing his spirit food, his energy was exceptionally vigorous.

This was one of the benefits of cultivation. Persistently practicing the Mysterious Energy formula every day not only strengthens the body’s physique and mysterious energy but also expels diseases and prolongs life, allowing the body to remain in peak condition for a long time.

“Family Head, please have some tea.” As usual, the young servant Wang Gui brewed some spiritual tea.

The tea he used today came from Cloud Mist Spirit Seed. This tea is mild like water, and after taking a sip, it feels as if it permeates the five internal organs.

Wang Gui likes this type of spiritual tea very much.

Of course, Wang Gui did not dare nor had the possibility of secretly taking some spiritual tea to brew for himself. However, being close to the water tower, he could completely enjoy the remaining tea after the family head had brewed a few rounds. This tea was not tasty enough to eat but too good to be thrown away.

Even the remnants of the tea had some effects and should not be wasted. Until it was completely tasteless, it could still be cooked into rice porridge and eaten…

There are several kinds of spiritual tea, each with its own taste, but Wang Shouzhe also has a preference for Cloud Mist Spirit Seed. Whenever he drinks this Cloud Mist Spirit Seed, he would always think of his fiancee, who he has not met face to face until now — Miss Liu.

Unlike the members of the direct line who have a lot of choice in marriage and have some autonomy to choose between many potential partners, the marriage of the principal family line depends much more on the future direction of the family, and they have almost no choice.

Therefore, both Wang Shouzhe and Miss Liu passively accepted the existence of each other. However, after a small, silent interaction between the two, Wang Shouzhe developed some fondness for her.

As he sipped the Cloud Mist Spirit Seed, feeling good, he leisurely updated the system panel, in the column for family reputation.

“Family prestige”: “Township Reputation (90) — Dominating the area, County Reputation (29) — Slightly famous, Prefectural Reputation (00) — Unknown.”

The reason why the township reputation hasn’t reached the full value of 100 is of course due to the system’s consistent principle — the later the data, the harder it is to improve. What’s more, the Liu and Zhao clans have not been wiped out yet, so the Wang family cannot reach the full value of “Covering the sky with a single hand.”

It’s even more difficult to improve the county reputation. In order to reach the “Dominating the area” level in county reputation, the family must at least have a Celestial being as its old Ancestor. So, this time the increase by 8 points to 29 points is already quite a lot.

“Hmm, the progress is good.” Wang Shouzhe looked at the updated prestige template, sipped his Cloud Mist Spirit Tea, and was quite satisfied with his recent achievements.

Just add a bit more effort to wipe out the Liu and Zhao clans, and the Wang family will truly cover the sky with one hand in Ping’an Town.

Meanwhile,

In the main residence of the Liu Clan, a courtyard where the clan members lived,

The young talent Liu Yongzhou was downing his wine with an extremely unpleasant look on his face. Too many things had happened recently — the rise of the Wang family, the death of his father.

Everything changed too fast.

But what surprised him the most was Liu Shengye’s attitude towards him. When he attempted to test the waters a little, Family Head Liu Shengye appeared somewhat impatient, treating him dismissively.

Subsequently, he recalled what Luoxian said. Following her suggestion, he got Liu Yonghao drunk and learned shocking news from him.

It turned out that among the clan members who continued after Liu Shenghao and took the spiritual platform path, the person who was appointed as the heir was Liu Yonghao. And he, Liu Yongzhou, was merely a pawn casually utilised by Liu Shengye on his chessboard.
