Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 898 - 832: Can’t Hide That Smile Anymore?

At this moment, Zhang San was somewhat bewildered.

What kind of custom do you have in Sword South Path, so fond of marrying off granddaughters?

And Zhuge Longyin was also somewhat bewildered.

You don’t want the blueprints for the Seven-Star Repeating Crossbow.

You don’t want my granddaughter either.

Then I don’t have anything here worth your attention!

Meanwhile, Xiao Aotian, who was being held by the Town Martial Office martial artists, shouted angrily, "Let go of me! It’s all my fault from start to finish! You can’t sacrifice Senior Sister Qingqing’s happiness! You can’t!"

Zhuge Longyin very unhappily glared at Xiao Aotian.

Even though Qingqing indeed went too far, haven’t you made any mistakes?

If you hadn’t taken Qingqing out, how could she have quietly left Martial Marquis Manor with her paltry skills and brought this formidable foe upon Martial Marquis Manor!

Although Zhuge Longyin considered Zhang San to be a formidable foe in his heart, he still smiled joyfully as he looked at Zhang San.

Zhang San could tell that Zhuge Longyin was sincere, after all, he had even offered his own granddaughter.

So Zhang San waved his hand to the person beside him.

Wang Ziteng immediately had someone release Xiao Aotian.

Then the Enforcing Elder of Martial Marquis Manor quickly took Xiao Aotian, pinned him down with disciples, and led him out.

Even as Xiao Aotian was dragged out, he kept shouting he was willing to sacrifice himself, just asking not to let down Senior Sister Qingqing.

Then in the now quiet great hall, Zhuge Qingqing stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, I’m not going to marry Zhang San! I heard his reputation has been bad before, and he seems like a deep schemer! I’m afraid of being bullied!"

While saying this, Zhuge Qingqing walked to her grandfather’s side, reached out her little hands to pull on her grandfather’s sleeve and softly acted spoiled.

Zhuge Longyin was also quite helpless.

After all, he only had this one descendant.

In fact, many people in Martial Marquis Manor were waiting for him to be unable to manage in the future and to select an heir.

That’s why everyone treated Zhuge Qingqing very well, knowing that whether in terms of capability or brainpower, Zhuge Qingqing couldn’t perform the duties of the future Manor Master of Martial Marquis Manor.

So now they curry favor with Zhuge Qingqing, hoping to have bigger chances of inheriting the Manor Master’s position in the future.

That’s exactly why almost everyone in Martial Marquis Manor spoiled her.

Thinking back, spoiling her like that perhaps may have harmed her.

"Old Manor Master Zhuge, I can see your sincerity, so I’ll be straightforward. My purpose in coming today is very simple. After all, the disciples of Martial Marquis Manor attempted to assassinate the Divine Martial Great General of Great Sui. This matter, in public, equates to treason, and it’s not excessive to level Martial Marquis Manor. In private, since I’m the newly appointed head of the Town Martial Office, being assassinated by young disciples of Martial Marquis Manor and just letting it go, doesn’t make sense."

At this moment, many in the great hall heard these words and wanted to retort.

Before when someone from Qing City Sword Sect attempted to assassinate you, you said the same, and now Qing City Sword Sect is just fine. Haven’t heard anything about equating to treason!

Regarding attempting to assassinate you!

Now in Sword South Path, who doesn’t know that merely attempting to assassinate you entails going through a process and then getting paid!

Even martial artists from the neighboring regions were stirring upon hearing this matter.

"But I wonder how the matter was resolved with Qing City Sword Sect back then? Perhaps Martial Marquis Manor could follow that example."

Zhuge Longyin knew Lin Wenshan had a broad perspective, even though not as astute as himself, but surely not entirely manipulated by Zhang San. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Zhang San smiled; indeed, Zhuge Longyin was very clever.

"Since the Old Manor Master has spoken, I’ll be frank."

"Qing City Sword Sect has already joined the Town Martial Office, Lin Wenshan is an Officer, and later during the rebellion of King of Shu Yang Ling, if he performs outstandingly, I’ll help Qing City Sword Sect apply for two more Officer positions."

"Additionally, an important individual within Qing City Sword Sect has also been taken as my disciple."

Upon hearing Zhang San’s words, the crowd was in an uproar.

No one believed what Zhang San said.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Longyin knew something must have happened after he left that day.

No, it’s something Zhang San obtained in the Sword Storing Pavilion forcing Qing City Sword Sect to choose to join the Town Martial Office.

Furthermore, given Zhang San’s status, there’s really no need to lie to him.

"Zhang San, what nonsense are you spouting! How could Qing City Sword Sect possibly join the Town Martial Office?"

"Even lying should be believable!"

Zhang San glanced at some young disciples questioning him present.

Zhang San naturally knew they weren’t qualified to speak in such occasions.

And now, the reason they dared to step out and question him must be because their teachers behind them either had permitted or suggested they might stand out and say something.

Zhang San sneered, "If you aren’t willing, then I can only send people to attack Martial Marquis Manor."

Upon hearing this, an elder stood out and laughed loudly, "Zhang San, oh Zhang San! You don’t think you can barge into Martial Marquis Manor whenever you want and leave as you please, do you!"

Zhuge Longyin frowned, feeling the words were somewhat excessive.

Quickly bowed to Zhang San, ready to apologize and explain.

But just as Zhuge Longyin bowed and before he could speak, a loud explosion was heard.

A mighty Sword Qi directly blasted a big hole in Martial Marquis Manor’s great hall ceiling, and then a white figure descended from the sky.

"Master, are you alright?"

At this moment, an elderly man with white hair and beard descended from the sky, coldly sweeping his gaze across the great hall crowd.

Just one look, and everyone felt as if a sharp blade gently slid across their throats, and if the other party exerted a little force, the blade could cut their throats.

"Deputy Chief Zhang, everyone is just temporarily excited, absolutely not intending to harm you."

Zhuge Longyin seized the chance to apologize, then looked at the elder who seemed far stronger than himself and asked, "May I know who this gentleman is?"

The elder smiled smugly, "I am the thirty-eighth generation disciple of Qing City Sword Sect, as well as Zhang San’s disciple. You... are the current Manor Master of Martial Marquis Manor?"

At this moment, Zhuge Longyin felt his worldview was breaking!

Lin Wenshan is the forty-first generation!

What nonsense is it for the thirty-eighth generation to become Zhang San’s disciple?

Did Zhang San say Qing City Sword Sect’s very important person had been taken as his disciple?

This... what the heck...

Zhuge Longyin set his gaze back on his granddaughter.

"Deputy Chief Zhang, why don’t you reconsider my granddaughter. I heard you have a favored lady, the Fox Demon. But for a man, having three wives and four concubines is normal; my granddaughter just needs to be a wife."

At this moment, Zhuge Qingqing beside him could hardly hold back.

"Grandpa! I... I..."

"You shut up; where’s your place in speaking on lifelong matters!"

Zhuge Longyin knew if Zhang San really wanted, he could dismantle Martial Marquis Manor.

Although Martial Marquis Manor seemed powerful, actually, as a martial path power, it excelled in fighting armies; truly relying on strong individuals’ confrontation, Martial Marquis Manor couldn’t match many martial path powers.

Zhang San was also quite embarrassed, glanced sideways, suddenly thought of something.

"Old Manor Master, it’s not that I’m unwilling; I just have a better recommendation. This gentleman..."

Zhang San pointed towards Wang Ziteng nearby.

"My sworn sixth brother Wang Ziteng, one of the Town Martial Office’s Officers, previously achieved small victories in battling Western Regions, slaying over a dozen small country kings of Western Regions, and was titled Marquis of the Western Pacification. And although he’s from the Wang Family among the Five Surnames and Seven Families, due to some previous actions by the Wang Family, causing him despite holding status among the Five Surnames and Seven Families, not being too close with the Wang Family. How about..."

Zhuge Longyin at this moment had his mind racing.

Qing City Sword Sect’s ancestor worshiping Zhang San as master meant Zhang San would definitely help Qing City Sword Sect more.

If Martial Marquis Manor joined Town Martial Office without sufficiently strong relationships, Martial Marquis Manor’s future legacy would be hard to secure.

Although Wang Ziteng on the surface sounded good, ultimately he was only Zhang San’s sworn brother, not a blood brother.

But just as Zhuge Longyin was still thinking, he heard his granddaughter Zhuge Qingqing’s voice.

"For Martial Marquis Manor’s future, granddaughter, willing."

Zhang San couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, heck, when mentioning me earlier you weren’t like this.

Turning his head, Zhang San noticed Zhuge Qingqing lowering her head blushing, but the smile on her lips seemed ready to break free.

Girl, you had been eyeing my sixth brother all along!

Should’ve said earlier!
