C257 Too Arrogant!(2)

"Taking advantage of the situation, huh? Everyone here knows how you climbed to the top during the family head dispute. I'm just helping my uncle reclaim what's rightfully his."

"Reclaim what's rightfully his, you say? Fine, I, Lau Qingfeng, will admit defeat. But don't forget, Lau Qinghan is a broken man now. Making him the head of the Lau family? Hmph..." Lau Qingfeng sneered and fell silent.

Everyone understood the implication behind Lau Qingfeng's words. If the Lau mansion were under his control, it might survive a little longer. It could even establish itself as a small family in Bright Sun City. But with Lau Qinghan at the helm, internal collapse seemed inevitable, let alone external pressures.

"Who says my dad's a broken man? My cousin is an alchemist, and he can definitely heal my dad's injuries!" Lau Ruyan retorted.

An alchemist? Hearing Lau Ruyan's words, the crowd was filled with both doubt and shock, their gazes toward Woo Zhengyang growing more serious. Rumors don't spread without reason, and Lau Ruyan likely wouldn't lie in front of everyone.

Woo Zhengyang was already someone many were wary of, and if he held this title, he wouldn't be someone a small city like Bright Sun City could afford to offend.

Lau Ruyan, reacting to Lau Qingfeng's disdain for Lau Qinghan, spoke up in the heat of the moment, not realizing the ripple effect her words would cause. She continued, "Dad, where's the medicine cousin just gave you?"

When Woo Zhengyang mentioned making him the head of the Lau family, Lau Qinghan was momentarily taken aback. As Lau Ruyan questioned him, he instinctively pulled out the jade bottle Woo Zhengyang had just given him.

"See, I wasn't lying!" Lau Ruyan exclaimed, taking the jade bottle and opening it right in front of everyone.

A crystal-clear pill, as lustrous as a pearl, slipped into Lau Ruyan's palm. As soon as it emerged, the surrounding energy seemed to be drawn towards it, swirling around the pill. This created a gentle force, causing the pill to continue spinning slowly even as it rested in Lau Ruyan's hand.

It was like a magical spirit pill, a true elixir! A faint, pleasant aroma spread instantly, and everyone watched Lau Ruyan's delicate hand, captivated.

Spirit pills had appeared in Bright Sun City before, but that was ages ago. The idea of an ultimate or even peak-quality spirit pill was almost unheard of, something from a bygone era.

And now, a young girl casually produced such a high-quality spirit pill, leaving everyone present in disbelief.

"Did Woo Zhengyang really make this?" The group’s expressions almost simultaneously showed their doubt.

Even Lau Qinghan found it hard to believe. He wasn't like Lau Ruyan; he understood the rigorous process of crafting a spirit pill, which tested not only the alchemist but also the cauldron and the ingredients. Given Woo Zhengyang's young age, how could he possibly create such a pill?

Yet, despite their skepticism, everyone looked at Woo Zhengyang with astonishment. Even if he hadn’t made the spirit pill himself, the fact that he managed to acquire one was beyond what most could even dream of. Considering the short time since Lau Qinghan was injured, and factoring in the travel time with Lau Ruyan, Woo Zhengyang wouldn't have had enough time to leave the country in search of the pill.

The group had already drawn their own conclusions about the pill’s origin. Who else could be behind it but the mysterious Uncle Fu?

Woo Zhengyang was unaware of their thoughts and didn’t bother to speculate. With the current tensions, it wouldn’t be long before someone uncovered his true identity, and then everything would become clear.

Healing Lau Qinghan was Woo Zhengyang's top priority. After all, Lau Qinghan had been gravely injured for Woo Zhengyang's sake, and he hadn't yet had the chance to repay him. However, this wasn't the only task Woo Zhengyang had to accomplish.

Since Woo Zhengyang had returned to Bright Sun City, he was determined to sort out all the matters here.

"Does anyone still have objections to my uncle becoming the head of the Lau family? Speak up now!"

Woo Zhengyang's gaze swept over Lau Qingfeng and his group.

"In my opinion, since this concerns the future of the Lau mansion, we should take our time and consider it carefully. Why rush into a decision?"

The person trying to smooth things over and delay the decision was a counselor of the Lau mansion. Though only a novice martial artist, he was known for his meticulous thinking and strategic advice, making him a trusted confidant of Lau Qingfeng for many years. At this moment, while everyone else remained silent, he felt compelled to step forward, as this was his value to Lau Qingfeng.

However, he could never have anticipated that his words would bring him great trouble. Just as he began to speak, Woo Zhengyang strode forward, directly confronting him.

Everyone watched in confusion, unsure of Woo Zhengyang's intentions, until they saw him raise his fist without a word!

Woo Zhengyang was actually going to strike him. Apart from Lau Qinghan and Lau Ruyan, everyone else was wide-eyed with shock. Even though the opponent was just a novice martial artist, he was still a martial artist!

Woo Zhengyang had only recently joined the Profound Heaven Sect, and now he was taking on a martial artist? This was incredibly bold!
