Chapter 732: Chapter 95 Zuoqiu Admits Defeat! Shouzhe Achieves Complete Victory_4

For someone like Wang Shouzhe, it’s truly delightful if he’s a friend, but if he’s an enemy, then it’s really...

Xiaoyue rubbed her brow, feeling a bit of a headache.

Enough~ Since things have come to this, thinking more is useless; better to think about how to handle the aftermath~

Between the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty and Daqian lies the vast Hurricane Ocean, making communication difficult. For now, the master cannot know the situation in Daqian. But one day the master will return from the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty, and she must give the master an explanation.

Thinking of this, she quickly returned to her room.

Soon, a blue and a white Message Bird flew out of the window of her room, flapping their wings and soaring into the sky.

...

Liaoyuan County, Cao Family main residence.

After leaving Cao Bangyan’s courtyard, Cao Youqing was in a somewhat bad mood.

Unknowingly, nearly a year had passed since Bangyan was captured. During this time, the entire Cao Family was so busy dealing with the Investigation Envoy’s inquiries that they barely had time to attend to themselves.

Fortunately, the Investigation Envoy was finally sent away, Bangyan was successfully redeemed, and this matter could be considered settled.

However, for her, this matter was far from over.

Cao Youqing’s gaze swept over the surroundings.

As she walked, Cao Family members frequently passed by, and on the surface, everyone remained respectful to her as before, but she knew inside that although they didn’t say it openly, they were certainly complaining about her secretly.

Otherwise, why would they avoid her gaze?

This time, the loss for the Cao Family was truly too great.

Even for a Purple Mansion Family like the Cao Family, six million Qian Gold is a huge sum. To gather these funds, Cao Bangning had to reduce resources provided to the family members and even sold several ships. How could the family not resent her?

Moreover, the elders who were pushed forward to take the blame were mostly older members within the family. Most of them are over three hundred years old, with dozens of children and grandchildren under them, and are already regarded as ancestors of a particular lineage.

Though this was done for the family, and nephew Bangning promised to compensate them, how could they not have any complaints?

All these reasons create an indescribable pressure for Cao Youqing.

The more she thinks about it, the more oppressed she feels. The more the family members avoid her, the worse her mood becomes.

This emotion only slightly improved after she reached Ancestor’s Kunwu Residence.

The ancestor of the Cao Family is named "Cao Kunhao," who is nearly six hundred years old. In recent years, as the limit of his lifespan draws closer, his energy is not as strong as before, and he rarely comes out, spending most of his time in seclusion within Kunwu Residence.

However, even if the ancestor is in seclusion, Cao Youqing can come to Kunwu Residence anytime she wants.

Just as usual, she pushed the door open and saw Ancestor Kunhao sunbathing in the yard.

Compared to decades ago, now his old age is apparent, not only is his hair completely white, but there are also many wrinkles on his face, making him look like a seventy to eighty-year-old mortal.

"Ancestor."

Seeing that familiar figure, for some reason, the grievances in Cao Youqing’s heart surged uncontrollably.

She stumbled to the ancestor’s recliner, knelt on the grass beside him, hugged his arm like a spoiled child, and said with grievance, "Ancestor, I’m unwilling, truly unwilling~~"

"Ah~"

Ancestor Kunhao sighed, slowly opening his slightly clouded eyes.

Even though he hasn’t appeared all along, as the sole Purple Mansion ancestor of the Cao Family, how could he not know what’s been happening at home?

He reached out and patted Cao Youqing’s head, dotingly saying, "You child, lost means lost. With your current strength, as long as you cultivate well, you can achieve the Purple Mansion in less than a hundred years, and there will be more opportunities in the future. Our Cao Family can no longer withstand such turmoil."

"Ancestor, you have pampered me since I was a child. You know my personality, if I can’t overcome this, I’m afraid I’ll be entangled by the Heart Demon, making it difficult to pass the Heavenly Dao Inquiry." A flash of hatred crossed Cao Youqing’s eyes, "No matter how I calculated, I underestimated that Wang Shouzhe. If he’s not eliminated, he will definitely be a scourge in the future. Once he becomes part of the Purple Mansion, our Cao Family will suffer because of him."

"Alas~ You child... enough, enough, you have a point. If this person isn’t eliminated, he is indeed a huge threat." Ancestor Kunhao thought of the young patriarch of the Wang Family, and his expression involuntarily turned solemn, "However, this matter must be handled carefully. Unless we have absolute confidence, we must not easily alert him."

A murderous intent also flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Ancestor, this time I definitely won’t fail."

Thinking of Wang Shouzhe, Cao Youqing couldn’t help but grit her teeth, her fair and beautiful face full of resentment.

Although that Luo Yuqing girl always tattles to the master and is very annoying, compared to Wang Shouzhe, she’s really nothing.

This time, she must personally go find that annoying Luo Yuqing and ask her to help keep an eye on Wang Shouzhe.

She refuses to believe that Wang Shouzhe never ends up alone!
