"Beijing is a place of great importance, who dares to cause a disturbance here!"

Wang Yan put down his wine cup, his eyebrows raised, and his expression was stern and imposing.

A general who has been through countless battles cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. Black is black, and white is white. He detests those who disregard the law and cause chaos the most.

The capital, the seat of the emperor, and someone actually causing trouble at Guanghe Tower, it’s sheer audacity, lawlessness!

As Wang Yan spoke, he pressed his right hand on the table, as if about to get up to investigate.

Opposite him, Yao Guangyi’s gaze immediately sharpened, and he hurriedly tried to soothe him:

"Hehe, Brother Wang, we are both high-ranking generals of the court. Why should we bother with such trivial matters? Come, come, come, let’s continue drinking! We won’t leave until we’re drunk today!"

As he spoke, he raised his wine cup, signaling Wang Yan to sit back down and not to worry. It was a joke, this gathering he had planned for a long time, and it was effective the first time. It might not be so easy the second time.

If Wang Yan got up and left, all his efforts would be in vain.

"This... Alright."

Although Wang Yan was unwilling, seeing Yao Guangyi raise his wine cup, he had no choice but to sit down.

Seeing that Wang Yan had given up the idea of getting up to investigate, Yao Guangyi felt relieved. He took the wine jug and continued to pour wine for Wang Yan. However, in his heart, Yao Guangyi was also puzzled. He knew the situation at Guanghe Tower better than anyone. Right now, the entire building was filled with his people.

How could there be a fight? Could someone have broken in?

For today’s plan, he had made all the necessary arrangements. Guanghe Tower was like a fortress, not even a mosquito could fly in. Who could have the ability to cause trouble in his Guanghe Tower?

"If I find out who is causing trouble at Guanghe Tower and ruining my plans, I will make you wish you were never born, and I will tear you to pieces!"

Yao Guangyi clenched his fists tightly, a fierce light flashing in his eyes. This plan was related to the struggle between Prince Qi and Prince Song, two royal relatives, and the overall situation of the court.

The Yao family, aligned with Prince Qi, was deeply involved and had no way out. At this critical moment, anyone who dared to ruin his plans would be the Yao family’s mortal enemy.

With the Yao family’s current prestige in the court and Prince Qi’s influence, it wouldn’t be too difficult to make a noble family disappear completely, leaving no trace!

"Brother Wang!"

After some thought, Yao Guangyi decided to continue to soothe Wang Yan. This man’s character was unbending and overly rigid. If he wasn’t calmed down, he might still get up to investigate:

"Beijing is a place of great importance, with many noble and wealthy young men. It’s inevitable that they will cause some disturbances, as long as no one dies. Besides, Guanghe Tower has its own skilled guards. The situation will calm down soon, it won’t escalate..."

Before he finished speaking, bang! Another figure was thrown out of Guanghe Tower, landing hard on the street, followed by a third, a fourth...

In an instant, Yao Guangyi’s face changed dramatically.

...

"Little Sister! Deer Antler!"

"Little Sister! Crane Feathering!"

"…Monkey Picking Peaches!"

...

In the private room on the third floor of Guanghe Tower, Wang Jiaxia hit people as if hanging paintings, kicking the surrounding Yao family experts and the young elites of the capital like soccer balls.

Wang Jiaxia was extremely lazy, practicing only sporadically, and knew very few moves. But she followed her brother’s commands without question.

When her innate terrifying strength was combined with Wang Chong’s accumulated knowledge, experience, and insight from his previous life, everything changed dramatically.

In the entire room, only Yao Feng managed to withstand Wang Jiaxia’s three punches and two moves. Everyone else was completely overpowered and was soon beaten to a pulp.

The walls of the private room were riddled with holes, completely devastated. Wang Jiaxia’s strength not only sent these people flying but also directly out of Guanghe Tower, landing on the street.

"Brat!"

Yao Feng grew more and more alarmed and angry as the fight continued, his eyes turning red.

Wang Chong and his sister, one fifteen and the other ten, were not taken seriously by him. But he never expected to encounter such a tough opponent in these two. Not only did they ruin his gathering, but he himself was also injured.

"Don’t worry about the little girl, catch Wang Chong! Catch that boy!"

Yao Feng shouted fiercely. He saw clearly that without Wang Chong, the little girl would be no match for them.

Moreover, given her obedience, capturing Wang Chong would ensure that the little girl would also surrender.

Buzz!

Hearing Yao Feng’s words, three or four Yao family guards who had rushed in from outside abandoned the seemingly more formidable Wang Jiaxia and charged straight at Wang Chong.

Swish! Wang Chong slipped like an eel, quickly evading their attacks. His strength was not enough, and he was no match for anyone in the room. But his knowledge and experience from his previous life were enough to ensure his own safety and escape.

"Little Sister, listen to me, quick and decisive! Inverted Bell!"

Wang Chong heard the rapid footsteps outside, like a rainstorm, approaching quickly. These were all Yao family experts.

Guanghe Tower was now a fortress, filled with Yao Guangyi’s planted experts. They hadn’t paid attention at first, but once the fight started, they immediately noticed.

This situation was not suitable for a prolonged battle; it had to be quick and decisive. Otherwise, once they arrived, even with three heads and six arms, he and his sister wouldn’t stand a chance.

"Alright!"

Wang Jiaxia responded loudly. She was getting more and more excited, her whole body trembling with excitement. Although she had fought before, it had never been this thrilling.

The tall and strong Yao family experts and Yao Feng were like targets for her punches, one after another, like a game. In just a few breaths, she had taken down half the room!

"Little Sister! Now, Snake Tail!"

Wang Chong seized the opportunity and directed his sister to target Yao Feng.

Yao Feng was alert, noticing Wang Chong’s movements early. "Snake Tail" was a basic move, and Wang Chong’s plan to use it against him was a delusion.

Boom!

Yao Feng stepped forward, launching a "Chest Strike" at Wang Jiaxia. But to his surprise, his strike missed, hitting empty air.

"Oh no!"

Yao Feng’s heart sank. Wang Jiaxia’s "Snake Tail" seemed different from the norm, off by several inches.

This usually only happened when a move was not fully mastered. Yao Feng had overestimated Wang Jiaxia’s familiarity with the move and underestimated the extent of her laziness.

This mistake was fatal in this situation.

As this thought crossed his mind, Yao Feng tried to retreat, but it was too late. A thin right leg wrapped around his head and struck down hard.

Boom!

As if hit by an invisible giant hammer, Yao Feng’s body fell, crashing into the floor like a wooden stake. The floorboards shattered like they had been hit by a storm.

Buzz! Wang Jiaxia, with her divine strength, forcefully twisted Yao Feng’s hands, jumping onto his back and squeezing his bones until they cracked.

"Master!"

"Master Yao!"

...

Outside the private room, the rapid footsteps stopped abruptly. A group of Yao family experts, along with the remaining noble young men, looked at Wang Xiaoyao on Yao Feng’s back, their faces filled with shock.

Yao Feng was not a weakling; on the contrary, he was exceptionally talented, even praised by his father, Yao Guangyi. No one expected that with his cultivation, he would be defeated by a young girl!

"Who dares to harm my master!"

After the initial shock, a large group of Yao family experts rushed in.

"Capture that boy, he’s the Wang family’s young master! Use him to exchange for Master!"

A noble young man from the Zhou family pointed at Wang Chong and shouted fiercely.

Hearing this, Wang Jiaxia became furious.

"Who dares to hurt my brother, I’ll kill this so-called master!"

Wang Jiaxia twisted her hand, and a sound of bones cracking echoed. Her innate strength, fueled by anger, almost tore off Yao Feng’s entire arm.

Even Yao Feng, known for his toughness, couldn’t help but scream in pain, his face pale, and cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Wang Jiaxia, who followed her brother’s commands, was deeply concerned for him.

If she really tore off his arm, his future would be ruined.

"Stop! Everyone, stop!"

Yao Feng was both anxious and angry. He was naturally proud and had never suffered a major setback. This time, being defeated by a few young children was a complete loss of face.

"Wang Chong, what do you want? I don’t believe your Wang family has the nerve to attack me here. Tell me, no matter what happens today, I will demand an explanation from your Wang family. I want to see what your father, Wang Yan, has to say!"

Yao Feng’s face was covered in blood, half his head embedded in the floor. He was both ashamed and angry. With his cultivation, few in the capital could match him, and this young girl was one of them, leaving him both ashamed and helpless.

The situation was dire. Although the Wang family girl was young, her strength was greater than his, and he had no choice but to admit it. However, he was not willing to accept this loss.

He might not be able to defeat this girl, but with the Yao family’s influence, he could still deal with the Wang family behind Wang Chong and Wang Xiaoyao.

"Do you really not know?"

Wang Chong narrowed his eyes, looking at Yao Feng on the ground, his eyes filled with deep meaning. But seeing Yao Feng’s puzzled expression, he finally confirmed that Yao Feng probably didn’t know.

Yao Guangyi, in his secrecy, had even kept his own son in the dark, truly going to great lengths!

Wang Chong could only marvel at the old fox’s determination and perseverance.

Although Yao Feng was unaware, it didn’t hinder Wang Chong’s plans. The old fox Yao Guangyi was no good, and this young fox was no better!

The incident with Ma Zhou revealed his malicious intentions.

"Little Sister!"

Wang Chong’s eyes flashed, and he walked over. Since he had confirmed that Yao Feng knew nothing, he didn’t want to waste more time:

"... Don’t hold back, break his bones!"

"You dare!"

Everyone, including Yao Feng on the ground, was shocked.

"Alright!"

In the midst of the shocked cries, Wang Jiaxia’s childish voice was particularly clear. She never questioned or doubted her brother’s commands.

If her brother said to beat someone, there must be a reason.

Boom! In the shocked gazes of everyone in the room, Wang Jiaxia’s terrifying small hand rose high and struck down.

"Ah!—"

A piercing scream echoed, shaking the entire Guanghe Tower.

...

"Feng!"

In the basement of Guanghe Tower, when people were continuously thrown out, Yao Guangyi initially didn’t pay much attention, trying to soothe Wang Yan, saying "It’s nothing, it’s nothing."

But when he heard Yao Feng’s voice, he was suddenly alarmed and couldn’t help but stand up abruptly.

From the first person being thrown out to now, Yao Guangyi had heard everything clearly. But he never expected his son, Yao Feng, to be involved.

He knew Yao Feng’s cultivation well. In the capital, few noble young men could surpass him. Moreover, he had arranged countless experts in Guanghe Tower, both openly and secretly. For someone to injure Feng in such a heavily guarded place, their strength must be formidable.

Moreover, Feng was the only male heir of the Yao family. Recently, he had planned to support him and have him take over his legacy. If anything happened to Feng, the Yao family would be without an heir, and how could he face the ancestors?

Thinking of this, Yao Guangyi could no longer sit still.

"Brother Wang, forgive me!"

Saying this, Yao Guangyi’s robe fluttered, and a powerful golden light burst from his feet. With a loud boom, a huge hole appeared in the ceiling, and Yao Guangyi broke through the floor, heading directly to the third floor of Guanghe Tower.
