Soon, Yang Qi met Huang Gong, the head of the Huang Lineage.
He chuckled politely, " The Huang Lineage head has come in person; we are so sorry for not welcoming you sooner."
The elderly man in the yellow robe, his face glowing, bowed in greeting.
"Young Master, you are too kind. It would be presumptuous of me to have come uninvited."
He had a big smile on his face.
Yang Qi feigned a stern expression, "Patriarch Huang Lineage, you're too kind. From now on, we're family, no need for formalities. My Yang Lineage will always welcome you." He exchanged pleasantries politely.
Huang Gong readily accepted the offer, saying, "Since that's the case, it would be too formal for me to be polite with the young master any further. May I ask about your younger sister?"
Whether a woman is a woman or not doesn't matter. What matters is that women from prestigious families are more exciting and inspire a desire to conquer.
The Huang Lineage is inferior to the Yang Lineage, so naturally they would have this feeling. Moreover, it's not easy to get a woman from the Yang Lineage. The head of the Yang Lineage family wouldn't even give the Huang Lineage a second glance. It was only because Yang Qi, the eldest young master, needed his help that this matter came about.
Of course he wouldn't refuse, especially since Yang Lingqing was just a junior compared to him. At his age, he didn't care about anything else; just being able to get it was enough for him.
"Sigh." Yang Qi sighed upon hearing this.
"Speaking of this matter, Huang Lineage, you also know some of the hidden details. My sister is stubborn by nature, and no matter how well I try to persuade her, she refuses to listen."
"However, I already have a plan. At that time, my sister will surely be willing to serve in your Huang Lineage."
The Lineage is complex, and if he wants to win the position of family head, he needs the support of outsiders. First, he needs to bring huge profits from the family's businesses, contribute to the Lineage, and enhance his reputation to win over the people.
Secondly, marriage alliances provided him with a strong support system. Chen Lineage was unreliable, he had no choice but to find a replacement.
"I understand, I understand." Huang Gong didn't care at all; it was Yang Qi's business anyway. As for whether Yang Lingqing was willing or not, once she entered the Huang Lineage, that was no longer up to her.
However, she continued, "Your younger sister is still young, so it's perfectly normal that she wouldn't want to join my Huang Lineage."
"Patriarch Huang Lineage, you are mistaken." Yang Qi knew this principle, of course, but social etiquette wouldn't allow him to tell the truth.
"It's her good fortune to join the Huang Lineage. The fact that the Huang Lineage head doesn't look down on her because she was married before is already incredibly generous and unconcerned about such trivialities."
"When my younger sister marries into the Huang Lineage in the future, we will need the Huang Lineage head to be very tolerant and not hold her willful behavior against her."
That's all the elder brother said on behalf of his younger sister. As for what happens to Yang Lingqing after she joins the Huang Lineage, he can't interfere in their family affairs.
Huang Gong listened with great pleasure and laughed heartily.
"That's natural, that's natural." They just love being willful and resistant to change.
"Then I wonder what method Young Master has?" He wanted to hear how Yang Qi would make Yang Lingqing behave.
Yang Qi meaningfully, "Patriarch Huang Lineage, there's no need to ask any more questions. Rest assured, leave the rest to me."
Just kidding, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. Using my nephew to deal with my sister is Lineage matter, and there's no need for Huang Gong to know. It wouldn't do if Huang Gong changed his mind because of my nephew's existence.
"With the young master in charge, I am at ease." Seeing that Yang Qi was unwilling to speak, Huang Gong had no choice but to give up.
Then something occurred to him, "What about your sister's son?" Although he didn't care, he never wanted to see that kid again.
Yang Qi immediately became serious, "Patriarch Huang Lineage, your sister's son may have already perished. You don't need to worry about anyone interfering and causing disgrace to your Huang Lineage."
He could only say that, but he still hoped his nephew would live so he could use him. He could keep him locked up in the Yang Lineage, give him any identity he wanted, and keep it a secret from Huang Gong. As the eldest son of the Yang Lineage, he could easily do that.
"Okay, okay." Huang Gong was relieved. Without that kid bothering him, he could finally live his life comfortably, hehe~
"In that case, young master, do you know where your younger sister is?"
He wanted to see the person in person. He didn't want to be a victim of a scam.
Yang Qi, being quite shrewd, said, "Patriarch Huang Lineage, don't rush. Let's discuss business first, and then choose an auspicious day. You'll naturally see my sister, how about it?"
He was afraid that Yang Lingqing would become emotionally agitated and do something rash. He wouldn't let Huang Gong see his sister until his nephew arrived.
We cannot afford to lose this opportunity; we must secure the Huang Lineage's support this time!
That would be a very optimistic prospect for profit growth!
Huang Gong immediately gave a forced smile, "It was I who was anxious. Very well, very well..."
An auspicious day? What good is that? He didn't care at all. Once Yang Lingqing entered the Huang Lineage, she wouldn't be able to escape. Want a grand entrance? That's impossible.
She was nothing more than a concubine; if it weren't for her status and bloodline, she wouldn't have been considered a concubine at all.
Yang Qi smiled. "I can't deal with you. It's just a matter of each getting what they want."
If it weren't for her younger sister's lack of ambition and previous marriage, she wouldn't have been given to Huang Gong. He would have had better options...
Now, the eldest brother is only acting out of necessity, forced into this situation.
"Then, Patriarch Huang Lineage, let's discuss this over here..." He wore a sly smile.
It was at this time.
A deafening roar echoed in their ears, the space trembled, and a persistent buzzing sound, like a mournful wail, had the force of an earthquake. It was as if something had collapsed, or that their Lineage had been attacked by outsiders...
Caught off guard, Yang Qi and Huang Gong were nearly knocked over by the shock, but being powerful cultivators, they immediately circulated their spiritual energy to stabilize themselves.
His expression changed drastically. "What happened?"
It happened quite suddenly, without any warning.
"This is bad! Who dares to be so insolent in my Yang Lineage!" Yang Qi looked outside angrily.
He could sense that his Lineage had been attacked—it was tantamount to courting death! How dare they provoke such a powerful figure!
"Please wait a moment, Master Huang Lineage."
"Young Master, please continue with your work." Huang Gong's expression was grave, and he was extremely annoyed. What on earth was the Yang Lineage doing?
Could they have offended someone? Otherwise, why would there be such a commotion? It's truly rare; I've never seen anyone so audacious before, because the Yang Lineage is no ordinary Lineage.
Of course, as an outsider, he could only watch the show and hope it wouldn't happen to him, since the Huang Lineage was far inferior to the Yang Lineage.
Enraged, Yang Qi immediately flew out.
"Father, something terrible has happened!"
Just as he stepped out, his two sons, Yang Bai and Yang Lin, ran over in a panic.
"Father, something terrible has happened!"
" Lin'er, Bai'er, what happened?" Yang Qi still spinning. Who knew that he and Huang Gong were happily discussing important matters when this accident happened, ruining their mood.
This is outrageous!
"Father, it was a phantom palm that shattered a large portion of my Yang Lineage's land! Palaces within a ten-mile radius were reduced to dust and completely destroyed!" Yang Bai's expression was solemn.
"My Yang Lineage's storefront, the main gate, is smashed..."
It was so sudden! We had no idea who the Yang Lineage had offended! And who would dare to be so audacious!
That's practically suicide.
"What!" Yang Qi's aura couldn't help but burst forth, completely exploding. The Yang Lineage's territory was vast, and a mere ten miles wouldn't cause serious damage, but smashing the main gate was tantamount to challenging the Lineage's prestige! An act of destroying their spirit!
And how could he, as the future head of the Yang Lineage family, tolerate this!
That's utterly reckless.
"Father, who has our Yang Lineage offended?" Yang Lin asked, still shaken.
It wasn't that he was a coward, but even from such a distance, the oppressive aura made him tremble.
"No matter what, anyone who dares to provoke my Yang Lineage will surely die!" Yang Qi's eyes flashed. As a Body Integration Realm expert, he could easily achieve such an effect.
However, the incident happened so suddenly that even the elders guarding the gates of the Yang Lineage's Dao Palace Realm couldn't stop it, clearly indicating that the opponent's strength was no less than that of an elder! Yet, they dared to provoke the Yang Lineage; it was obvious that they couldn't have done it without real power.
Could it be a top-tier Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert? Or Saint Realm expert? Because the Yang Lineage has a Saint Realm expert in their ranks! It's no secret.
He deliberately delayed, knowing the saying "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down."
"Come, come with me to take a look." Only then did they set off.
Suddenly, a colossal object appeared overhead, blotting out the sky and casting a shadow over most of the Yang Lineage...
It was so fast that there was no way to react.
Moreover, it stopped abruptly above the Yang Lineage's residence!
