Wu Cong and Li Xuan came to the ancestral hall. The Matriarch was holding an incense stick and bowing three times toward the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall.
"Grandma, you were looking for us?" Wu Cong called out softly.
The Matriarch smiled kindly and looked at Wu Kui and Li Xuan. Then, she walked to the armchair and sat down.
"Rank-4 Grandmaster Realm. Xuan 'er, you've surprised me.”The Matriarch looked at Li Xuan with satisfaction.
Li Xuan was shocked. The Matriarch had seen through his cultivation?
"When you attacked just now, you were already exposed. However, your concealment technique is indeed very impressive. If you didn't attack, I wouldn't have been able to tell that you were already so extraordinary.”The Matriarch clearly saw Li Xuan's doubts and explained.
Li Xuan rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said with a smile,"My strength is far inferior to Grandma's.”
"When my sister was alive, she often complained to me that you were lazy by nature and that you had never cared about cultivation since you were young. Now that the Li family has undergone a major change, it has become the current you.”The Matriarch heaved a long sigh. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or sad.
"Ten years ago, Zhou Xing of Zhulong City was seriously injured by his enemy. He lay dormant for half a year and came out as a grandmaster. He swept across East China and was famous all over the world. It seems that such a big shot has appeared in your Li family.”The Matriarch nodded and smiled, her turbid eyes filled with admiration.
"Grandma, you're being too serious. I was just lucky.”Li Xuan really did not know how to reply. This praise made him very embarrassed.
If only the first person he touched was the Matriarch! Now that he was already a martial grandmaster, it would not be a problem for him to sweep through South China.
"Your grandmother and I once made an agreement that if an exceptional talent appeared in the younger generation, the Wuzhou Empire and the Great Tang Empire would definitely be united by marriage. It wasn't the best choice for Pin 'er to marry you, but if I wanted to preserve the Li Clan's sole bloodline, I had no other choice. But from the looks of it, my choice back then was correct. You didn't disappoint me.”the Matriarch said slowly.
Even though she was the absolute ruler of Wuzhou and no one dared to disobey her, she was still under a lot of pressure. The Matriarch was not willing to see the most outstanding successor marry a good-for-nothing, but she had no choice. She could not watch as the Li Consortium went extinct.
The Wu family had relied on Li Xuan's grandmother to make a fortune. The Matriarch did not dare to forget this kindness.
"Mom, it's time to go to the birthday hall.”
At this moment, Wu Cong's mother walked over and called out softly.
"Got it. You go first." The Matriarch waved her hand.
Yang Huan glanced at Wu Kui and Li Xuan, then retreated.
"Xuan 'er, if you want to revive the Great Tang's Li family, today is a great opportunity. Grandma supports you.”The Matriarch patted Li Xuan's shoulder, and her wrinkled face revealed an encouraging expression. Then, she walked out with the help of the servant girl beside her.
In the ancestral hall, Li Xuan and Wu Kui looked at each other.
"What does Matriarch mean by this?”Li Xuan asked weakly.
Wu Kuang rolled his eyes at Li Xuan and snorted coldly."You already know the answer. Is it interesting? Pretending to be stupid all day and wanting to slap others in the face, what a bad taste!”
After saying that, Wu Kuang also left, leaving Li Xuan scratching his head awkwardly.
At this moment, Martial Warrior Hui's heart was extremely heavy. When he thought of how Li Xuan already had the strength of a Grandmaster, he felt mixed feelings. He stood alone in the Hall of Longevity in a daze.
"Father, Grandma is here." Wu Yuanqing tugged at Wu Shi's clothes.
The warrior turned around and hurried over to help his mother sit on the birthday girl's seat.
" Mom, this Li Xuan…" The warrior hesitated. He had not told anyone about Li Xuan's strength, and many people did not even know about Wen Chao.
"Just do your job. Don't worry about it.”the Matriarch said calmly.
Wu Shi Hui was slightly stunned. He immediately realized that the Matriarch already knew about this matter. When he connected it to the fact that Li Xuan and Wu Hui had been called away by the Matriarch, his heart immediately skipped a beat.
The Matriarch had always taken a liking to Li Xuan. Now that he had become a Grandmaster, wouldn't Wu Zhou become the stepping stone for Li Xuan to revive the Great Tang? At that time, wouldn't the Wu family's descendants be sidelined and the Wu Zhou Corporation become someone else's wedding dress? At the thought of this, the warrior felt extremely unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
He was actually worried about his two sons. How could he not know what kind of people those two fellows were? He had never gotten along with Wu Yi since he was young. Now that he was still alive, Wu Yi would not do anything, but when he died, it would be hard to say. With Li Xuan, his son and grandson might even be kicked out of the house.
In the eyes of the warrior, the son was the closest and the successor of the Wu family. As for the daughter, she would be married off after all. To put it bluntly, it was a preference for sons over daughters. Therefore, he had never liked Wu Cong since he was young. His attitude had always been very cold. However, when Wu Cong showed his extraordinary talent in cultivation and was personally taught by the Matriarch, his attitude had changed 180 degrees. However, Wu Cong, who had already begun to remember things, had begun to dislike her as a father.
"Xu Changqing, the deputy general manager of the Shushan Group, has arrived.”
The first birthday guest arrived.
