"Big brother..."

"Brother Wang..."

Seeing Wang Chaoyang's desolate figure, both Wang Ruolan and Duan Nanye were moved.

Even those from the Prince Mansion who had originally retreated to the side felt a burning pain on their faces.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Wang Tianqiong clapped his hands: "Big brother, you wish to fight to the death alone? Haha, alright, I'll grant your wish!"

He stepped back two steps.

More than ten first-rate masters advanced.

Without a word!

They struck!

Wang Chaoyang showed no fear.

If there's no other choice, then fight!

In almost an instant, Wang Chaoyang entered the zone.

Like a fierce tiger descending the mountain.

However, he was ultimately outnumbered and outmatched.

In just a moment, Wang Chaoyang was already stained with fresh blood.

When masters fight, they don't need many moves.

As several masters fell, more rushed forward.

Someone kicked Wang Chaoyang's lower back.

Wang Chaoyang couldn't dodge in time and stumbled forward.

He gritted his teeth; his fists were like two bronze hammers, whistling through the air. Each strike on someone felt like battle drums being pounded.

Seeing several masters lost, Wang Tianqiong's face turned somewhat nasty.

However, Wang Chaoyang only fought more valiantly.

Today, Wang Tianqiong was determined to crush Wang Chaoyang beneath his feet, but at this rate, his side would also suffer losses.

He gestured, and someone brought a crossbow.

It was the weapon of the Divine Crossbow Guard.

Wang Tianqiong nocked an arrow and aimed at Wang Chaoyang.

With a whistling sound, it shot out.

Thud!

Wang Chaoyang fell heavily to his knees.

The arrow pierced through his thigh.

"Big brother..."

Wang Ruolan was horrified and wanted to rush forward but was stopped.

Duan Nanye also wanted to help, but couldn't get through.

Wang Chaoyang knelt on the ground, grinning and taunting Wang Tianqiong: "You're as despicable as Wang Xiong, resorting to such vile means!"

"Cripple him!"

Wang Tianqiong had lost his patience.

With the Jinling Royal Mansion within reach.

Wang Tianqiong couldn't wait any longer.

Seeing several masters approaching again, Wang Chaoyang was full of despair. Just as he was about to stand up, the intense pain in his leg nearly made him collapse.

An injured lion is but a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Just as Wang Tianqiong's masters were about to strike, a deep voice rang out: "Nephew Tianqiong, what are you doing?"

The voice was not loud but incredibly intimidating.

Wang Tianqiong shuddered upon hearing the voice, lifting his head in disbelief, looking in the direction of the sound.

Even the despairing Wang Chaoyang and Wang Ruolan turned quickly, faces filled with incredulity.

Three figures slowly approached.

Among them, surprisingly, was the white-haired Wang Xiao.

Beside Wang Xiao was Ye Guichen supporting him.

On the other side, Mai Gu followed closely.

Although Wang Xiao's complexion was not very good, his reputation preceded him.

The moment he appeared, the atmosphere on the scene changed dramatically.

Those hesitant members of the Jinling Royal Mansion immediately knelt: "Greetings, King Jinling!"

Each one trembling with fear.

Earlier, they had speculated that something might be wrong with Wang Xiao since he hadn't appeared for so long.

Thus, they dared not act rashly.

With Wang Xiao's appearance, their doubts were completely dispelled.

Wang Xiao was the flag of the mansion.

As long as Wang Xiao stood tall, the vast Jinling Royal Mansion would never fall.

"Father, are you alright?" The tears of joy flowed from Wang Chaoyang and his sister, their eyes filled with indescribable excitement.

Their gratitude towards Ye Guichen was evident.

Wang Tianqiong's face turned sour.

His arrogance in coming here stemmed from reliable news that Wang Xiao was at death's door.

But now, seeing Wang Xiao's current state, he looked far from dying.

"Uncle, the wind is chilly outside, why have you come out?" In a flash, Wang Tianqiong quickly put on a smile, stepped forward rapidly to Wang Xiao, and reached out, only to be intercepted by a hand.

Wang Tianqiong glanced at the owner of the hand, frowning as if asking: Who are you?

Ye Guichen ignored Wang Tianqiong's warning gaze: "I am Ye Guichen, now Dr. Wang's physician. Mr. Wang's health is somewhat poor, hence he should avoid any impurities. Please pardon me."

"What did you say!" Wang Tianqiong was furious.

Was he calling him an impurity?

Ye Guichen smiled silently.

Wang Tianqiong felt as if he had punched a cotton wall, his face turned red with anger, but he couldn't vent it, and instead, he stepped back a bit and bowed: "Uncle, your nephew greets you."

Wang Xiao snorted: "Tianqiong, do you consider me your uncle?"

There was an inherent majesty in his voice.

A single sentence felt like a mountain pressing down on Wang Tianqiong, drenching him in cold sweat.

Wang Tianqiong quickly smiled in apology: "Uncle, why say this? I just wanted to inquire about Secretary An and his son, but didn't expect big brother to block me indiscriminately and even try to kill me! Look, he almost killed me, and my men had no choice but to act."

In just a few words, reversing black and white.

Wang Xiao sneered: "So now, have you got the situation clear?"

"I have." Wang Tianqiong was stunned, quickly nodding: "Secretary An and his son died in your house, Uncle. I must account for this. Uncle, what do you suggest we do?"

His tone was humble, but laced with a hint of accusation.

Wang Xiao squinted: "What are you implying?"

"I believe our Wang Family wouldn't be so indiscriminate." Wang Tianqiong straightened up, his gaze landing on Ye Guichen: "As far as I know, it was Brother Ye who acted. To give Azure Dragon Commerce an explanation, we must severely punish the perpetrator!"

"Is that so?"

Wang Xiao retorted: "So you mean to take him away?"

"Uncle, don't make it hard for me." Wang Tianqiong pointed at Ye Guichen: "This man committed a crime in the mansion. If you shelter him, what if word gets out? It won't be good for the mansion's reputation."

"What if I don't agree?" Wang Xiao showed no sign of backing down.

Wang Tianqiong hadn't expected Wang Xiao to be so arrogant, giving him no face at all, and laughed: "Uncle, if you don't think of the mansion, won't you at least consider Xiao Ying? Before coming, my father specifically mentioned inviting Xiao Ying to be a guest at Azure Dragon Commerce for a few days."

The implication was clear.

Would you dare forsake your granddaughter for an outsider?

Wang Tianqiong knew the current situation well.

Initially believing Wang Xiao was either dead or too incapacitated to stand.

But unexpectedly, Wang Xiao was not only fine but seemed vigorous.

From the moment Wang Xiao appeared, Wang Tianqiong knew today would not end well.

The likelihood of seizing the Jinling Royal Mansion was slim.

Now he couldn't retreat so easily.

Taking Ye Guichen away would be a significant achievement, a slap in Wang Xiao's face.

With some promotion, one could claim Wang Xiao couldn't even guard a person, naturally diminishing his recognition.

However, Wang Xiao remained utterly unyielding.

"I also wish to see my brother. Why don't you lead the way!" After a brief eye contact exchange, Wang Xiao spoke with a smile: "Does your father have time?"
