Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

Wang Yeliu walked at the very front.

She was over forty years old, but because she was a highly skilled martial artist, she maintained her appearance and figure very well, looking like a young woman in her early twenties.

He just has a more mature and aloof demeanor.

Wang Yeliu walked up to Wang Xian but did not speak immediately.

He reached out and gently, but firmly, grasped Wang Xian's shoulders.

Her sharp eyes were fixed on Wang Xian's face, scrutinizing it carefully, inch by inch.

His gaze was extremely focused, as if he wanted to deeply etch Wang Xian's image into his mind.

Wang Xian felt a little uneasy under her gaze.

Wang Yeliu stared at Wang Xian for several seconds, her eyes seemingly turning slightly red.

then.

Without warning, he suddenly opened his arms and hugged Wang Xian tightly!

It was incredibly strong and held me very tightly!

Wang Xian was almost unable to breathe!

Wang Xian was caught off guard by the sudden hug and felt as if her bones were about to be broken.

He quickly shouted, "Stop! Stop! Be gentle! My body is falling apart! Really!"

Hearing Wang Xian's shout.

Wang Yeliu then realized that she might have used too much force.

He quickly released his arm.

But she still held Wang Xian's shoulder, looked him up and down, and made sure he was alright.

After Wang Yeliu loosened his grip, Second Master Wang Zhen, who was standing next to him, stepped forward.

Wang Zhen is tall and has a military background; he is known for his tough and resolute character.

Without saying anything, he simply stretched out his large, fan-like hand and patted Wang Xian's shoulder twice forcefully.

"Slap! Slap!"

These two shots were solid and powerful.

Wang Xian was so struck that she staggered, wincing in pain and gasping for breath.

Seeing Wang Xian's condition, Wang Zhen felt no pity; instead, he burst into laughter and said heartily:

"Kid! You're too weak! You're as spongy as a bean sprout!"

"That won't do! You need to practice more!"

"A man should be a bit tough!"

Wang Xian rubbed his aching shoulder, inwardly scoffing, "Heh, you haven't touched my 'Supreme Bone.' If you had, you'd know what 'hard' really means!"

Wang Zhen smiled and took a step back.

then.

Third Master Wang Dongyi came up.

Wang Dongyi possessed a refined and scholarly air, with a gentle smile on his face.

He stretched out a hand and slowly reached it toward Wang Xian.

When Wang Xian saw him reach out, her body tensed up instinctively, as if in a state of stress.

He thought he was going to be photographed or pinched again.

Wang Dongyi smiled gently when he saw Wang Xian's nervous expression.

The outstretched hand didn't land on Wang Xian's shoulder, but gently landed on Wang Xian's head.

He gently ruffled Wang Xian's hair as if he were treating a child.

His eyes were filled with the love and tenderness of an elder.

At last.

Uncle Wang Qi came up.

Wang Qi is the current head of the Wang family and also holds the highest position.

His face was stern, but his gaze toward Wang Xian was very gentle at this moment.

He looked Wang Xian up and down, his gaze lingering on Wang Xian's slightly pale face for a moment.

I looked again at his straight spine.

At last.

Wang Qi gave a friendly smile, looked into Wang Xian's eyes, nodded, and said only three words:

"You've suffered."

Although it only has three words.

But it contains a wealth of emotions, and carries a great deal of weight.

Li Mo, Zhao Mingyuan, Bai Zhengqing, Zhao Lan, and everyone else around who could see what was happening were all dumbfounded as they watched this scene.

Watching these four influential figures in Daxia treat the boy named Wang Xian like their own most beloved child, hugging him, patting his shoulder, touching his head, and saying things like "You've suffered" with such affection.

Li Mo's heart sank to the bottom, and his hands and feet were ice cold.

He knew things were really... really in trouble!

And it's a big problem!

I took several deep breaths before I could barely suppress the panic in my heart.

Li Mo forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and cautiously asked:

"Minister Wang...and everyone else...may I ask...may I ask who this young man is to you?"

Li Mo asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

Who exactly is this boy named Wang Xian?

What makes him worthy of such treatment from the four powerful figures of the Wang family?

When Wang Qi heard Li Mo's question, he slowly turned around and calmly glanced at him.

Wang Qi's expression was calm, and his voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Wang Qi only said two words:

"nephew."

boom!!!

These two words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's hearts!

Nephew...nephew?!

This young man named Wang Xian is actually the nephew of these four important figures?!

Doesn't that mean he's also... a direct descendant of the royal family in the capital?!

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone was stunned speechless by this answer!

They stared in disbelief at the simply dressed, somewhat thin boy.

This boy has such a terrifying background?!

Just then, Wang Yuanshan, who was standing to the side, took a step forward.

Wang Yuanshan's expression was very solemn. He addressed everyone in a clear and powerful voice, announcing loudly:

"That's right! Young Master Wang Xian is the core direct descendant of the Wang family!"

"He's the grandson of Marshal Wang Junba! And the only son of Major General Wang Quan!"

Wang Yuanshan's words were like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's hearts!

The direct bloodline of the Wang family!

Grandson of Marshal Wang Junba!

Son of Major General Wang Quan!

Each of these identities, taken individually, is enough to shake the entire Nanzhao Province!

And now, they are all concentrated on one person—the boy named Wang Xian in front of us!

"hiss--!"

A collective gasp filled the air!

Everyone was stunned by the truth!

Their eyes were filled with utter shock and awe as they looked at Wang Xian!

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Mingyuan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his head buzzed, and the world spun around him!

He felt like his world had collapsed!

It's completely collapsed!!

The person he had previously plotted against, slandered, and even wanted to cripple... was actually such a terrifying being?!

Finished!

It's all over!!

Bai Zhengqing and Bai E were struck dumb!

Their whole bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, their faces turned as pale as paper, their lips trembled, and they couldn't utter a single word.

Only one thought was echoing wildly in my mind:

"No...impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"He...he's clearly an orphan! A poor, powerless boy from the bottom of society with no parents!"

"How could it be... how could it be someone from the Wang family?!"

"How could he be Marshal Wang's grandson?! This must be fake! It must be fake!"

The enormous difference in their social status and the extreme fear left the father and son's minds blank.

They felt as if they had fallen into an endless ice cave, and their whole body, even their blood, was about to freeze!
