My Arrogant Young Lady

"Wang Xi, it turns out you're not only a master of formations, but you're also close to being a mid-stage expert in the Fusion Realm!" Wang Huan exclaimed, brandishing his sword wildly.

"Heh. You're the only one who's improved this past year? Has no one else improved?" I gave Wang Huan a cold look, then suddenly rushed at him and stabbed him in a vital acupoint.

When I struck Wang Huan's vital point, the venomous snake that was about to bite him quickly retreated. It glanced at me in surprise, then felt paralyzed and unable to move. After a moment's thought, Wang Huan lowered his head and said to me, "Young Master, I admit defeat. I was wrong. I shouldn't have betrayed you and the Clan Head, and I shouldn't have betrayed the Wang Family. But, considering I'm a distant relative of your Wang Family, and I once saved Wang You's life, how about you spare my life?"

“You did save my brother’s life. This favor is enough to grant you and Wang Yuebai a reprieve from the death penalty. But you may escape the death penalty, but you can’t escape punishment. Come back with me, and you can wait to face the Wang family’s judgment.” After searching Wang Huan and finding a large number of bank cards on her, I took her to the deck of the cruise ship.

“I am an Interpol agent. This man is a wanted criminal. I need to borrow a speedboat from you so I can escort him back to shore.” I said to the sailor on deck, showing him my identification.

"Okay." After checking my identity, the boatswain immediately ordered a speedboat to be lowered. "Take Wang Huan with you, and we'll head to the dock."

Thus, I have defeated Wang Yuebai and his son, along with their anti-demon alliance. Now, our only remaining enemies are Oda Seiji, Wang Yu's faction, the Six Great Demons, and Aurora. Because the Twelve Golden Knights of Europe are incredibly powerful, Wang Yu's faction, the Six Great Demons, and Aurora's Four Heavenly Kings are all fighting in Europe to defeat them. My father will bring the Wang family's army to support us. When Oda Seiji returns, I believe China will become a trap for us to defeat him.

"You little brat, you even schemed against your own father. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let you be born." As soon as I locked Wang Huan and Wang Yuebai together, Wang Yuebai glared at Wang Huan and said this.

"You old scoundrel, stop spouting nonsense. You'd even betray your own son for power; you're not my father!" Wang Huan glared at Wang Yuebai and said bitterly.

"Stop arguing, all of you stay put. If you keep arguing, I'll cripple you all."

Besides Wang Huan and Wang Yuebai, Li Guanghui was also locked up by me. Wang Huan and Wang Yuebai only glanced at me with furrowed brows before falling silent. Li Guanghui, however, took a deep breath, knowing that Aurora's situation was about to become dangerous.

Because the European Golden Twelve Knights are incredibly powerful, and Oda Seiji hasn't shown himself at all, I estimate he won't show himself even when attacking them. Since Oda Seiji won't intervene, he'll only rely on his subordinates Wang Yu, the Six Heavenly Demons, and the Four Heavenly Kings of Aurora to deal with the Europeans. They'll probably be fighting for about half a month to a month. Ideally, they'd be wiped out by the Golden Twelve Knights, but they certainly won't. If they weren't absolutely certain of victory, they wouldn't have attacked the Golden Twelve Knights in the first place.

During this month, my task is to reorganize the martial arts world of China. I will unite the entire martial arts community of China and use our collective strength to fight against Oda Seiji.

Oda Seiji is not an enemy of my royal family's faction; he is the common enemy of all of us.

The day after we captured Wang Yuebai and Wang Huan, I sent Xiao Haoren to contact the powerful figures from various factions who were now scattered abroad. Besides Xiao Haoren, the Divine Group also helped us search for these out-of-town experts. Because the Divine Group had immense influence domestically, finding these out-of-town experts was easier for them than for us. Around the evening of the third day, the out-of-town experts, contacted by Xiao Haoren and the Divine Group, began heading towards Mingzhu City.

This time, many experts from across the country have come. Among them are myself, the Divine Group, the four major families, Tong Jia Lao Gu (representative of the Ye family), the three representatives of the Anti-Demon Alliance, the young Arhats of Shaolin, the eldest disciple of Wudang, the three heroes of Shushan, the Taoist priests of Laoshan, the second young lady of the Murong family of Jiangnan, and experts from over twenty other sects.

When Oda Seiji's army pressed in, these sects realized they were no match for him and immediately fought desperately to protect their most outstanding members as they fled. These were the future hope of their respective sects and carried enough weight to represent them. By reaching an agreement with these people, I would have effectively united the entire power of China. Once I had them united, my father would arrive with his army. We might not be able to defeat Oda Seiji, but we were absolutely confident we could fight him.

A sufficiently large conference room was booked at the hotel, and when they all arrived, nearly two hundred experts had already gathered there. These were the most outstanding experts from their respective sects, most of them at the level of experts above the Gods or at the upper level of Gods.

These people can be considered the top experts in the entire China.

And I was sitting right in the middle of the conference room. As everyone took their seats, the members of the God Group closed the conference room door for us.

I lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "I, Wang Xi, the new head of the Wang family, have summoned all the experts of China today. I'm sure you all know why."

"It's Oda Seiji. He was utterly destroyed and severely injured by our Wang family back then. For the past ten years, he's been hiding in the martial world, secretly cultivating his strength. Now, he's returned. He's led his army of god-level masters to overthrow our Chinese families, he's destroyed the order of this world. He's forced us to leave the families and sects we depend on for survival, and he's captured our loved ones. Now, we have less than two hundred masters left. And we are the hope of all of China. I hope we can all unite closely. We must defeat Oda Seiji. We must cut off his dog's head. The tragedy of a year ago must never be repeated today!" I said.

"It's him?" As soon as I finished speaking, the second young lady of the Murong family, a renowned martial arts family in Jiangnan that her family had risked their lives to send off, frowned slightly. More than a year had passed since we met in the Northwest. Although she had only seen me for a few days, she had remembered my appearance ever since. Even though my skin had turned pale, and even though I had deliberately grown a beard, she could still recognize me at a glance.

After I finished speaking, everyone remained silent with serious expressions. They frowned as they looked at me, sizing up the new head of the Wang family.

This is the first gathering of all the major powers in China. They know that my Wang family is incredibly powerful, possessing skilled experts, wealth, and an army. We have significant influence overseas, and my Wang family is widely recognized as a top-tier power.

But their sects weren't much weaker than ours, were they? Although their families and sects fell to Oda Seiji, our royal family wasn't much stronger, was it? Faced with Oda Seiji's iron hooves, some of them surrendered, but most of their forces still engaged in fierce fighting with Oda Seiji's troops. While my royal family surrendered, we weren't defeated, but we chose to flee. We abandoned vast amounts of land and gold and silver treasures. We led my royal family's people to that distant overseas island.

We are all defeated, what right do we have to boast about our bravery?

Just as Chi You, the leader of the Divine Group, was about to give a speech and recommend me to unite everyone against Oda Seiji, a young man suddenly said coldly, "Nowadays, it's an open secret that martial arts skills above the level of gods can increase one's strength. Because of this secret, it's not difficult for many of us to go from being a god-level expert to a master above the level of gods. Furthermore, because Oda Seiji has corrupted the entire martial arts world of China, god-level experts have become as common as street vendors. Nowadays, the martial arts world is full of god-level experts, masters above the level of gods. Wang Xi, the heir of the Wang family, although you are a master close to the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm, we also have many masters here who are close to the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm. Although we are not as wealthy or powerful as your Wang family, we are no less capable in terms of strength. Moreover, you have lived outside of China for more than ten years and are already an internationally recognized super family, not just people within China. I want to ask, why should you lead us to defeat Oda Seiji?"

"Who are you?" I asked, frowning slightly, after hearing the young man's words.

"Yang Yuan, one of the Three Heroes of Shu Mountain," the young man said proudly.

"What? It's actually one of the Three Heroes of Shu Mountain! Yang Yuan, the most talented disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect? The Shu Mountain Sword Sect is an ancient sect. And Yang Yuan, the eldest disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, is said to be a mid-stage Fusion Realm expert. I've heard that the Shu Mountain Sword Sect has always pursued the path of immortality, and although Shu Mountain hasn't produced any immortals, it still has quite a few cultivation masters. As for the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, it's an ancient and prestigious sect. If he can lead us to fight against Oda Seiji, we'll feel much more at ease." Upon hearing Yang Yuan's name, many disciples from the ancient sects began to discuss among themselves.

Listening to the discussions of the disciples from those ancient sects, his expression grew even more arrogant. "Wang Xi, leading us against Oda Seiji means something. If someone can lead us against Oda Seiji, it means he is the leader of this martial world, the one who will be in charge of us from now on. Although your Wang family is very strong, I still can't see what qualifications you have to lead us against Oda Seiji."

"This..." After hearing Yang Yuan's words, everyone looked at me with suspicion again.

Indeed, the Wang family head standing before them seemed rather inexperienced. While he possessed strength, it wasn't quite as formidable as Oda Seiji's, was it? And while the Wang family was indeed powerful, how did they compare to these ancient sects of the martial world? They couldn't possibly destroy Oda Seiji if they all attacked together, but they were absolutely certain they could wipe out the Wang family.

"Fuck you, stop messing around. Don't you know who gathered you all here today? If it weren't for my brother Xi, would you have been able to get together so easily? If it weren't for my brother Xi organizing everyone to unite against Oda Seiji, would you even have the right to speak? Damn it, if you guys weren't so disunited, would my father have died? The reason why the martial arts world of China has been ruined by Oda Seiji is because you guys are so disunited. You're all supposed to be very powerful, each of you always acting like heroes. Now that they've attacked, what have you all been doing except hiding?" Little Good Guy couldn't help but stand up angrily when he saw Yang Yuan ruining our important plans.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?" Yang Yuan's gaze immediately turned cold upon hearing the kind-hearted man's outburst.

"Friend, are you looking for death?" Two junior brothers who had wandered the martial world with Yang Yuan immediately drew their swords and stood up.

It would have been better if the nice guy hadn't scolded me; his outburst only made everyone look at me with even more suspicion. A disciple from an ancient sect whispered, "I heard that the Wang family wasn't exactly a righteous sect in the martial arts world before. Their patriarch, Wang Yang, is the number one most wanted criminal in the martial arts world. And before the Wang family was established, Wang Yang wasn't from a respectable family either; he was a complete scoundrel."

“When gangsters get rich, they start to cultivate a sophisticated image,” someone else said.

"They still say we ran away? Didn't the Wang family run away? That Oda Seiji is a master above the Golden Core stage, who can defeat him? The Wang family is not only no good, but Wang Xi's mother was said to have been the number one assassin in the martial arts world before, and so was his master..."

“His master is even more ruthless than his mother. He can kill whoever he wants. He used to work for Young Master Zhou.”

Instantly, the murmurs in the conference room grew louder and louder. Some even suspected that I wanted to use this to swallow up all their forces, since I had previously swallowed up all the forces in the north.

And I watched them gossip loudly, my anger seething inside. If the four great families hadn't approached me seeking an alliance, I wouldn't have bothered forming one with them. So many sects, each possessing countless secret manuals and magical treasures. If I could devour them all, I'd certainly make a fortune.

But, in order to deal with Oda Seiji, I could only suppress my anger. I hated them so much, I wished I could devour them all.

Yang Yuan, seeing everyone relentlessly listing the Wang family's past mistakes, became even more smug. "Your Highness, no, you should be called the Emperor of the Wang family. If you can tell me what qualifications you have to lead us against Oda Seiji, I, Yang Yuan, will immediately bow down and submit."

"Of course he's qualified, because he's my son, Wang Yang's son!" The conference room door suddenly opened, and a handsome man dressed in a marshal's uniform walked in.

At that moment, he radiated boundless light...

Chapter 335 The Wang Family's Daughters-in-Law

Almost as soon as the man stepped into the conference room, the atmosphere changed. It was as if the entire enormous conference room shone brightly because of his arrival.

The man was the complete opposite of the one I had seen just a few days ago. Just days before, he seemed like an ordinary person; his smile was warm, and he was sometimes mischievous. When he was with us, he acted like a big kid. At home, he wore shorts and a white tank top, looking no different from an ordinary working father.

Now, his eyes were cold and sharp, his face etched with seriousness. He exuded an aura of quiet authority. On his chest were rows of red and green medals and gleaming gold badges. On his shoulders were five enormous gold flowers. At this moment, he was no longer an ordinary father, but the head of the Wang family, the marshal of the Wang family, the emperor of the Wang family. His aura was chilling and intimidating. He seemed to be the god of death, the god of slaughter.

At the same time, five young men and women dressed in military uniforms appeared beside him. Their eyes were equally cold, and the murderous aura they exuded was terrifying.

One of the highest-ranking young men glanced coldly at the experts in the meeting room, then snapped his thumb and middle finger together.

With a snap, a large group of soldiers stormed into the conference room. With a click, they pointed their weapons at the martial arts masters present.

"How dare you disrespect the head of the Wang family? You're practically courting death," Wang Huan said coldly.

No matter how skilled we are in martial arts, our bodies cannot stop bullets. No matter how powerful we are, we are no match for that army.

A single glance at the soldiers the man had brought and the weapons in their hands caused all the martial arts masters present to change their expressions. One of the elders even cried out in a trembling voice, "Wang Yang, we know you are Wang Yang, the emperor of the Wang family. Do you think we have any objections to your Wang family's leadership of the martial arts world, and you intend to force us to submit?"

"Senior Wang Yang, aren't you going a bit too far? You're using your Wang family's army to suppress the martial arts world of China? Although my Divine Group has no right to do anything to you, isn't it a bit disrespectful of China for you to bring your soldiers into China so openly?" Chi You, the leader of the Divine Group, frowned slightly.

"Hehe, does my Wang family, as a loyal supporter of your Huaxia, not even have the right to visit your Huaxia with our own guards?" The father smiled after hearing Chi You's words.

"Have you already spoken to the diplomatic authorities?" Chi You asked.

“Of course,” the father smiled.

“But if you open fire here, I will still have to take some measures,” Chi You said.

With a smile, the father lit a cigarette and walked towards Yang Yuan, the strongest disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, asking, "Yang Yuan, you just said that our Wang family is not qualified to lead you? Now, do you think our Wang family is qualified to lead you?"

"You want to force us into submission? I, Yang Yuan, will not submit." Yang Yuan's face paled slightly, but he still proudly raised his head.

“Very well, then how can my Wang family make you submit?” the father asked.

“A fair and square duel. But you can’t participate. Only our younger generation can elect a leader to lead us against Oda Seiji,” Yang Yuan said.

"A martial arts contest?" The father smiled upon hearing Yang Yuan's words.

"Yes, do you dare? Do you dare let your Wang family's heir fight us?" Yang Yuan looked at his father with a provocative gaze.

"Alright, I'll give you a chance to lead." He gently raised his hand. All the soldiers immediately put away their weapons.

"Three days from now, my Wang family will hold a martial arts tournament to select the strongest among the younger generation to lead everyone in the fight against Oda Seiji. The location will be in the ancient city of Jiangnan, not far from Mingzhu City. My Wang family will book the entire ancient city of Jiangnan and forbid anyone from approaching. At that time, you will all rely on your own abilities. Whoever wins the title of the number one martial arts master will be the leader who leads everyone in the fight against Oda Seiji." The father sneered and left the meeting room with his soldiers.

"Okay!" Yang Yuan said softly, watching his father's departing figure.

“Father, in terms of strength, my brother is indeed not as good as Yang Yuan. But my brother has the King Serpent, is skilled in formations, and has even learned your pressure point technique. If my brother were to use all these skills, he would be able to fight even the Six Heavenly Demons. As for leadership talent, my brother is the best among the younger generation. Why waste time with Yang Yuan and hold this martial arts tournament?” In the mansion of the Wang family, one of the four great families, Wang Che asked his father in an annoyed tone.

"Che'er, the disciples that the major sects risked their lives to send out are the future of those sects, the most talented and outstanding individuals. These children are arrogant and proud. If we can't win them over, even if we forcibly become their leaders, we can only lead their people, not their hearts. And the most outstanding disciples of the major sects are still under the control and confinement of the Aurora people. To lead them, we must have them go back and persuade the major sects to rebel across the country at the same time, quickly overthrowing Oda Seiji's rule. If they can't win us over and sneak back to the major sects to persuade them to rebel, what use is it if we capture these martial arts masters? What we need is to defeat Oda Seiji. Only by defeating Oda Seiji will we have any chance of survival."

"This competition is very important," the father explained to Wang Che.

We all understood our father's words. He then quickly said to me, "This time I brought the Wang family's army to China in a large force; Aurora and the others must have gotten wind of it. They can't suspect your identity. Quickly report our movements to Aurora. And you must participate in this martial arts tournament. You will participate as an undercover agent for Aurora. At the same time, have Aurora spread the word to lure Wang Yu away from the Black Dragon Society. This kid is highly regarded by Oda Seiji; he has imprisoned the heads of the four major families, as well as the leaders of Shaolin and Wudang sects. He's too young and has an excessive admiration for the strong. He was captivated by Oda Seiji's strength at first glance. Knowing him as I do, he'll definitely be interested in this martial arts tournament. You lure him over and defeat him, teach this kid a lesson. Let him know that his parents gave him life, not his devilish uncle."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." I nodded quickly after hearing my father's words.

"Wang Yang, the head of the Wang family, is leading his six sons—Wang Xi, An Yao, Wang Che, Wang Huan, Wang You, and Liu Li—along with his subordinates, in a major counterattack against Aurora's influence in China. He has also convened a martial arts tournament to recruit the strongest young masters in the world. I suggest that we thwart Wang Yang's conspiracy and send experts to stop his plans." After compiling this information, I immediately sent it to Zhuque.

Less than a minute later, Zhuque called me again, "Wang Yang, he's leading the Wang family in a counterattack?"

“Yes. Moreover, that Prince Wang Xi and the Divine Group have gathered all the wandering masters in the martial arts world, plotting to overthrow our Aurora's power in China,” I said.

“Liu Su, you did a great job this time. We are currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Twelve Golden Knights and cannot return for the time being. There are too many martial arts masters in China, more than in Europe. If they unite, it will be difficult for us to deal with them. Wang Yang's plan must not be allowed to succeed. I suggest you infiltrate Wang Yang's martial arts tournament to closely observe his actions. At the same time, we will suggest to Lord Tianmowang that Wang Yu's troops be sent to China to provide support,” Zhuque said.

"Okay!" I nodded gently.

"Did it work?" Lu Zhicheng asked me after I hung up the phone.

“Absolutely,” I said with a smile.

"Hehe, Xi'er is indeed efficient. With just a few words, she connected all my plans." With a smile, my father tossed me a cigarette.

"Absolutely, I'm going to surpass my father." I lit a cigarette.

"Alright, let's go play games now. There are still three days until the martial arts tournament. For someone as capable as me, one day is enough to get this little thing done. Three days is only for those who aren't capable. Come on, let's get some barbecue and play games while we drink. Playing games while drinking is more fun, isn't it?" After saying that, my father pulled us out the door.

"Dad, are we going to stay up all night again?" Hearing my father's words, I blinked and my heart tightened.

"No overnight stays this time, we'll just play at the internet cafe for two days and two nights," the father said with a mischievous grin.

"..." Upon hearing their father's words, An Yao, Wang Che, Bi Fang, Long Yun, Wang Xiao Jiu, and the other girls all widened their eyes.

"Miss An, has your father always been like this?" Wang Xiaojiu, who had just joined us and was still somewhat unfamiliar with the Wang family's situation, asked.

"In our Wang family, there's an unwritten rule: anyone who wants to be our daughter-in-law must be good at games. If you can't beat our father in a game, you can't become our daughter-in-law," Wang Che said with a mischievous grin, his playful nature kicking in again.

“I’ve seen Wang Yang’s dad play games. He’s really good at games. How could we possibly beat him?” Bi Fang immediately shouted.

"Bifang, do you also want to marry into our Wang family?" Hearing Bifang's words, Wang Che's smile deepened.

"No, no, no, I don't want to marry into the Wang family, I, I..." Bi Fang blushed and became incoherent.

"So, are you going to marry him or not?" Wang Che asked with a smile.

"I... I'd better learn first, just in case I might get married in the future..." She glanced at me furtively, and Bifang's pretty face turned even redder.

Although Wang Xi can be a bit aloof at times, he actually cares about me quite a bit.

"Why are you always peeking at me?" I frowned and glanced at Bi Fang, sensing her gaze.

"Who's looking at you? Which eye of yours saw me looking at you?!" Seeing my aloofness again, Bifang was furious.
