Wang Chengzu slowly explained, "Nobody wants to seize anything, we have no hostility, and I believe he would be willing to come."
Wang Weijing chuckled, "Not everyone will give the Wang Family face. He is a talent that shines even brighter than Xue Rui, already likely to be nominated for the Nebula Achievement Award, and now with Yan University backing him, nobody can push him around.
"I’ve heard that he recently delved into the battlefield again, aiding the Demon Slayer and Exorcist Forces in annihilating a large camp of the Demon Clan, establishing great merit. The government is preparing to commend him publicly.
"Now, he has become the darling of those military bigwigs."
Wang Chengzu paused for a moment, then issued a direct command, "Invite him."
Having said that, he hung up the call.
Wang Weijing fiddled with the information terminal in his hand, pondered for a while, then smirked and put it away.
Too early, the kid’s not famous enough yet.

Later that evening, Wang Bo and his family of five sat around the table for dinner, with only the sounds of utensils clinking and food being swallowed in the dining room.
The Wang Family rules are numerous; during meals, one must sit up straight and it is required that one does not speak while eating or sleeping, and wasting food is not allowed.
Wang Bo and his wife, as well as Wang Weijing and his wife, sat dignifiedly eating their meals, occasionally extending their chopsticks to gracefully pick up food.
Only Wang Erbao seemed to have a sore on his backside, completely unable to sit still, twisting and turning.
Wang Weijing, annoyed, tapped the table lightly with his finger and reprimanded in a low voice, "What are you wriggling for? Behave yourself!"
Now that someone had spoken, Wang Erbao breathed a sigh of relief and, grinning at Wang Bo, said, "Grandpa, Grandma, it’s so boring to eat like this. Can we get a TV to watch during dinner?"
Wang Weijing’s eyebrows shot up, ready to give him a piece of his mind.
What’s all this, have you forgotten all the etiquette you were taught as a child!?
But Wang Bo glared at him, "What are you shouting for, don’t you know you don’t scold children at the dinner table?!"
The old lady, Yuan Ying, also looked displeasedly at her own son, "My grandson has lived such a lonely life for many years, eating by himself, sleeping by himself, just the thought of it is miserable!
"What’s wrong with him watching TV now? Just consider it making up for him!"
Wang Erbao blinked, thinking to himself that he either hung out with Chu Feng for free meals every day or went to the cafeteria with Wang Weiguo for handouts.
At times, even Xue Rui joined the three of them, and he had never suffered a bit all day long.
However, this wasn’t beneficial for him, so there was no need to say it out loud.
Immediately after, Wang Bo laughed heartily and kindly said to Wang Erbao, "Wait a moment, I’ll get someone to move it right away!"
"Dad!"
Wang Weijing helplessly watched as Wang Bo put down his utensils and went off cheerfully to find someone to move the TV.
"Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Grandma!"
Wang Erbao ignored the angry glare from his father, laughing happily as he watched two guards carry the TV and the TV cabinet into the dining room.
Sitting next to Wang Weijing was a lady in luxurious attire with a beautiful face and dignified manner. She was completely unaffected and quietly continued to eat her meal.
She was Wang Erbao’s mother, Lin Huiqing, the daughter of the martial arts family, the Lin Family.
Once Wang Bo had left, she softly laughed and said, "It’s only natural for elders to dote on children. Mum and Dad haven’t seen Erbao for three or four years, and now that they have, of course, they’re interested in him. Why bring this trouble upon yourself?"
Wang Weijing sighed, glancing at his rebellious son, then picked up his utensils, "I’m just worried that the old folks will spoil him rotten. Spoiling a child is akin to killing a child."
Lin Huiqing continued to eat her meal calmly, unperturbed, as she gently responded, "What’s the rush? Let’s finish eating first; your role as a father isn’t going anywhere."
Her words were incredibly tender, yet they involuntarily made Wang Erbao shiver, "After eating, take our dear son out for a walk to a quiet place to properly teach him the Wang Family’s etiquette.
"How to teach him and how effective it is, doesn’t it all depend on whether you, as a father, are qualified?"
"I heard about it on my way back. The elder guarding the Domain was not a bit displeased today. He’s lived for so many years, yet it’s the first time he’s been called ’old immortal’..."
Wang Weijing nodded deeply upon hearing this, his gaze towards Wang Erbao softened, "Madam speaks sensibly."
Instantly, Wang Erbao’s face turned pale, and he looked towards his grandmother Yuan Ying for help.
But Yuan Ying slowly lowered her head to eat, not looking at him.
The elderly lady knew when to step back; when a child made a mistake, parents must discipline the child without interference.
Without external support, Wang Erbao had no choice but to look pitifully towards his own mother, "Mom..."
Lin Huiqing glanced at him indifferently, sending a chill down to Wang Erbao’s bones, "Over the years, your dad and I have been busy managing the family’s and clan’s wealth, and left you in the care of your Uncle Weiguo."
"It’s our fault for not being there for you during critical moments of your growth, and for that, mom wants to say sorry."
It’s over, after "but" I’m dead... Desperation spread across Wang Erbao’s face.
As expected.
"But in just three years, you’ve turned yourself into a wild monkey, and that’s your fault.
"You started to remember things at a reasonable age and don’t have any intellectual disabilities. Have you completely forgotten all the etiquette you were once taught?"
Lin Huiqing put down her chopsticks, picked up a napkin from the table, and wiped the corner of her mouth, laughing lightly, "Indulging feels great, fun, right?
"But the pleasure from indulging desires is always the most junior, and addiction to indulgence can completely ruin a person.
"Only self-discipline can bring the most senior pleasure and make you better and better."
Wang Erbao stuttered, "I, I didn’t indulge!"
Lin Huiqing turned her head to look at him, smiling gently, "Didn’t indulge, yet you called an elder, who sacrificed half his life and deserves respect for protecting the family’s secrets, ’old immortal’?
"Didn’t indulge, yet within the Domain you don’t focus on cultivation, waste precious cultivation time, cause trouble for your clan brothers, and provoke fights?
"Is it because you weren’t given the Treasured Medicine to break through to the Everlasting Realm? Or weren’t you taught the latest Composite Technique? Or are you just unable to sit still?"
Wang Erbao’s spirits drooped completely; everything had been found out.
Damn it, if I find out who ratted me out, I’ll beat him to death next time! Wang Erbao cursed inwardly, seething.
But then he heard the words from Lin Huiqing that scared him to death:
"This time, your dad and I must make up for our neglect over the recent years and reinstate the disciplines you’ve cast aside right back into your bones.
"Fortunately, we’re not very busy lately, and you can stay at home for a while. Our family of three can get much closer."
Wang Weijing’s smile reappeared on his face, and he nodded deeply again, "Madam speaks sensibly!"
Wang Erbao’s complexion turned ashen. Hallucinations appeared before him, as he seemed to see a ghastly ghost face with green eyes and sharp teeth pouncing towards him, emitting a terrifying laugh.
"Chu Feng, save me——!" He let out a desperate shriek.
...
"Achoo!" Chu Feng sneezed, rubbing his nose, "Who’s thinking about me, is it my little Xue Rui?"
He turned on the desk lamp and laid out two lists given to him by Lin Zhong and Xu Tianci on the table, rubbing his hands excitedly.
The items on the lists, choose any one, regardless of value, that was their very promise!
Given the eagerness of both to recruit him, the contents on the list should not disappoint, he must choose carefully.
Chu Feng’s eyes widened as he stared at the dazzling list on the table.
