One person: I am Li Buren, I cannot bear to do anything!

"What's going on?"

"I told you to keep an eye on the Old Celestial Master, how did you manage to do it?!"

Inside the Nadutong company, Bi Youlong slammed the documents onto the long table in the conference room and glared at several subordinates.

"Wang Ai from the Wang family has already filed a complaint against me!"

The employees of NaDuTong all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Bi Youlong's gaze.

"Who, who is it? Who's in charge of keeping an eye on those two from Wudang?"

Bi Youlong's anger showed no signs of abating; he continued to bang on the table and question his subordinates.

A man wearing glasses, sitting at the end of the long table, shakily raised his hand.

"I'm the one who's been following them lately."

Bi Youlong's suppressed emotions exploded instantly, and he casually threw the documents in his hand at his subordinate's face.

"Is your brain filled with water?! I told you to keep an eye on things, why didn't you stop them?!"

"Why didn't you report this? What are you doing?!"

The man straightened his glasses, which had been knocked askew, and swallowed hard.

"I...I really don't dare, because..."

...

Wangjia

"Long time no see, Master Li."

A middle-aged man from the Wang family spoke up; his cheekbones were prominent, and he didn't seem as kind as his tone suggested.

Wang Ye followed behind Li Buren, carrying a small leather bag in his hand, and strode forward.

"Li of Wudang cannot bear to disturb you."

"Wu Dang Wang, excuse me."

Li Buren and Wang Ye continued walking without stopping, seemingly unaware of the middle-aged man from the Wang family, and strode forward.

The Wang family occupies a vast area; even the main residence alone covers more than 20 acres.

"What are you doing here?"

As they entered the courtyard, the two, who had been left unattended, were stopped by a sharp shout.

Wang Bing.

This arrogant playboy seemed to have enjoyed a few more days of comfort at home, and his previous intimidation from the two had lessened.

"I've recently made progress in my cultivation of divine efficacy, so I'll take it out on you all!"

Li Buren and Wang Ye exchanged a glance and quickly understood the Wang family's meaning.

Their purpose was clear: to provoke a fight, and they couldn't let the attack they encountered on the way go unpunished.

The Wang family's intentions were clear: on the surface, they would maintain the last shred of dignity for them, even while they were still under the control of their henchmen.

However, he used Wang Bing's arrogance to deal with the two.

At this moment, the middle-aged man from the Wang family also walked over with a big smile on his face.

He stood directly in front of Wang Bing, blocking his way, and was very polite to Li Buren and the other man.

"Two Taoist priests, I'm sorry, my young master is a bit arrogant, please forgive him."

Li couldn't help but sneer.

"It's alright. I've long heard that the Wang family's divine magic is unparalleled, and their methods are highly sophisticated and unpredictable."

"We came here by chance to return a small item belonging to your Wang family to its rightful owner."

Splash!

The middle-aged man from the Wang family couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

The middle-aged man's name was Wang Zheng. He was a legitimate member of the Wang family and was considered quite capable among his peers.

The attack on Li Buren and Wang Ye was planned by him, and it was he who proposed using the divine paint technique.

"I never intended to hide the Wang family's methods from them; it was just to serve as a warning to others."

"I didn't expect these two Taoist priests to be quite capable; they even dared to come to our door and offer to draw?"

"They should know the methods of my Wang family's divine painting, and they must also know the value of this painting. Why would they be so kind?"

Although he harbored doubts, Wang Zheng did not show them on his face, but instead thanked Li Buren politely.

He immediately feigned shock and delight, reaching out to take the leather bag.

"This painting is a family artifact of the Wang family. It disappeared for some time without us knowing why. We thought it was gone forever, but unexpectedly, it was found by Master Li."

"On behalf of the Wang family, I thank the two Taoist priests!"

Wang Zheng appeared incredibly sincere; if an outsider were to come, they would probably genuinely believe that this man, nicknamed "Smiling Tiger," was truly so grateful.

As he spoke, Wang Zheng seemed to feel that it wasn't enough.

"No, words are not enough to express my gratitude. On behalf of the head of the family, I bow to you both!"

As the steward of the Wang family, Wang Zheng was adept at handling these matters.

"Younger people are easily embarrassed. Even if they come to cause trouble, they'll still be polite and courteous to me if I'm being polite."

"To maintain a fragile facade, even if they come to cause trouble, we must first show some weakness."

Thinking to himself, Wang Zheng couldn't help but reveal a hint of disdain.

Wang Zheng, who had expected Li Buren to say things like "You mustn't" or "No need," found that Li Buren didn't react at all.

She even looked at him with a half-smile, as if waiting for him to bow.

Wang Zheng gritted his teeth and bowed anyway.

Li Buren seemed to have something to do, so he turned around to talk to Wang Ye, then turned his back and bowed to the side.

Even with Wang Zheng's temperament, he was somewhat angry at this moment.

"These young people are so unruly!"

According to the general consensus on "decency," even when someone comes to cause trouble, they should still maintain some semblance of decency.

It won't look that bad.

But Li Buren seemed completely oblivious to Wang Zheng's meaning, utterly disregarding the other party's dignity.

Wang Zheng could only console himself with the reason that "at least the loss was lessened by getting the painting back."

He reached out and took the small leather bag from Li Buren's hand.

As Wang Zheng squeezed the thickness of the leather bag with his hand, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

But he still wanted to maintain the so-called "decency" of the Wang family, so he simply handed the leather bag to the servant next to him.

After a while, the servant rushed back and whispered something to Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng's expression finally changed from apprehension to resignation.

There was also a fleeting hint of anger, which, though brief, was still caught by Li Buren.

The handsome young Taoist priest smiled slightly.

"When I found this painting, it was already in pieces."

Wang Zheng's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

"The paintings of my Wang family's divine art are no ordinary paintings. They are nourished by Qi year-round and are difficult to destroy by ordinary means."

"If it were just a simple tear, it might be repairable, but according to the following statement, it's as if the painting was put into a paper shredder..."

Wang Zheng instantly became serious, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

"Quickly, go and consult Patriarch Wang Ai. We can't deal with this old fox using conventional methods!"

Li Buren seemed oblivious to Wang Zheng's panicked expression, or perhaps even unaware of the Wang family's heightened sense of urgency.

He simply looked at Wang Bing, chuckled, and bowed to Wang Zheng.

"I've long heard that the Wang family's ability to summon spirits and command generals and their mastery of divine magic are unparalleled. I've been itching to show off my skills at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, but unfortunately, I didn't have the chance."

Wang Ye also stepped forward, without saying a word, and stood silently opposite Wang Bing with a relaxed smile.

Li Buren saw that the Wang family members were rushing over from behind, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"This junior is Li Buren from Wudang."

"Today I've brought along my fellow disciple, the King of Wudang."

"Inquire about the divine painting, and beseech the spirit-binding hand!"
