Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 71 The Invisible Clash (Seeking Further Reading)

Xu Mingwei and the others returned to Yang Zhao's residence and immediately took their leave.

"My dear son-in-law, this is not what I wanted, and I knew nothing about what happened today." Yang Zhao looked embarrassed.

Xu Mingwei nodded and said, "Father-in-law, rest assured, you are you, and the Yang family is the Yang family."

Yang Zhao opened his mouth as if to speak, but did not know how to say it, and was in a great dilemma.

He knew that although Xu Mingwei and his group had escaped unharmed today, the feud had already been formed. As for how the two families would develop in the future, whether they would be at loggerheads or shake hands and make peace, it would all depend on the choices of each side.

"A-Yuan, what you said before..."

"Uncle Yang, let's not talk about this for now."

Xu Mingyuan had discussed with Yang Zhao the possibility of developing some of the Xu family's industries in the county town, but at this moment, both Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingyuan harbored a deep resentment towards the Yang family.

Why would they choose to cooperate with the Yang family again?

"Alright then," Yang Zhao said helplessly.

Just as they were about to set off in the carriage, Yang Shihui arrived on horseback.

"Brother Mingwei, this is what my grandfather asked me to deliver. Please make sure it reaches you."

"Uncle?" Yang Zhao was slightly surprised.

"That's right." Yang Shihui nodded, then clasped his hands and said, "I hope Brother Mingwei and Brother Mingyuan will not blame me for today's events. There are also many factions within the Yang family."

Alright, I'll head back to report now. Next time you visit the county seat, I'll certainly treat you well.

After saying this, Yang Shihui came and went in a hurry, without giving Xu Mingwei and the others a chance to refuse.

"Father-in-law, we'll be leaving now."

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, please remember to take care of yourselves."

"It's good to go back sooner, so that Brother Chuan won't worry."

After everyone bid farewell, a carriage and several mounted guards with swords headed towards the city gate.

Once outside the county town, Yang Ronghua, holding Xu Dewen, asked curiously, "What did my great-uncle give me?"

Xu Mingyuan also said, "Brother, let's open it and take a look."

Xu Mingwei glanced at them, nodded slightly, and then opened the wooden box, inside which were two martial arts manuals.

This was one of the purposes of their trip—the "Fire Element Technique" and the "Innate Fire Virtue Technique".

Xu Mingyuan's pupils contracted slightly. Just by looking at these two martial arts manuals, he had a pretty good idea of ​​what Yang Wenfeng meant.

"Brother, the Yang family has come to apologize."

Yang Ronghua said, "They agreed to it themselves, so it doesn't count as an apology, does it?"

"Hmph, do you really think my Xu family cares?" A hint of anger flashed in Xu Mingwei's eyes. "I wish I could just tear them apart."

"No, brother." Xu Mingyuan said with a faint smile, "If we tear it up, we'll have come all this way for nothing. Why bother? Besides, accepting it doesn't mean we're going to let this matter go."

"Besides, both Zhao'er and Wen'er can use it."

"I don't want to learn the Yang family's martial arts." Xu Dezhao's childish voice rang out inside the carriage. "They were all defeated by Father. I want to learn from Father."

Xu Mingwei smiled and patted his head, "Okay, you'll learn the Little Dragon Elephant Kung Fu from me."

"Our Zhao'er is a man of ambition," Xu Mingyuan praised.

Dongxi Village, Xu Family.

"It's been seven days. Shouldn't Stone and the others be back by now?"

Xu Chuan woke up this morning and, after pondering for a moment, decided to use the "Daily Divination" to check their news.

[Today's divination: Medium. Today at Shen time (3-5 PM), Xu Mingwei's family and Xu Mingyuan safely returned home with the Yang family's martial arts.]

"It's Shenshi time now, and you've even brought back Yang family martial arts?"

Xu Chuan was slightly surprised, as he had expected to return empty-handed.

What happened?
Never mind, we'll find out everything when they get home and ask them.

Xu Chuan sighed softly, but unexpectedly, he woke Bai Jing up.

"Husband, what's wrong? Why are you sighing so early in the morning? Is something bothering you?"

Bai Jing's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if the morning mist had just dissipated. She wrapped her slender arms around Xu Chuan's waist like spring vines.

As her cheek rested on his shoulder, her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Xu Chuan turned to look at her and casually said, "I am just lamenting the hardships of aristocratic families. How difficult it is to continue for ten, a hundred, or a thousand generations."

"Chiyo Emoji?"

A smile dispelled her sleepiness, and Bai Jing chuckled, "My husband, are you worrying unnecessarily? Things after the Five Dynasties are beyond our control."

"Life is only a hundred years long, and our descendants will have their own blessings. All we can do is accumulate more family property and establish good clan rules to leave to future generations."

"maybe."

Xu Chuan did not argue with her.

A lifespan of a hundred years?

What he desires is a lineage that lasts for generations, a family that lives forever!
Shen Shi.

A carriage arrived at the gate of the Xu family mansion, with three guards on each side of the carriage.

Xu Chuan was already waiting at the door.

Xu Mingyuan came down first and, seeing Xu Chuan standing at the door, asked in surprise, "Father?"

After Xu Dezhao got down, he rushed into Xu Chuan's arms and said with a smile, "Grandpa, we're back. Zhao'er missed you so much."

"It's only been a few days, but our Zhao'er's little mouth has become so sweet."

Xu Chuan chuckled, then looked at Xu Mingwei and his wife, "Ronghua, you must be tired from your journey. Take Zhao'er and Wen'er back to rest."

"Yes, father."

Yang Ronghua held Xu Dezhao's hand, while Xu Dewen clung to her, refusing to let the maid carry him.

After they left, Xu Chuan said again, "You two, come with me to the study."

"Yes, Dad."

Wenxin Academy.

study.

After Xu Chuan sat down, he said, "Tell me, what happened in the county town?"

The two brothers exchanged a glance, and Xu Mingwei winked at Xu Mingyuan before Xu Mingyuan began to slowly recount his experiences in the county town.

After a while.

"Father, that's about it."

Xu Mingwei handed the wooden box in his hand to Xu Chuan, saying, "Inside is the Yang family's inherited martial arts, which was given to me by my father-in-law."

dong dong dong~
Xu Chuan tapped his knuckles lightly on the desk.

The two of them, one intimidating with force outside and the other shrewd and charming, were as docile as a two-hundred-pound child in front of Xu Chuan.

"Stone, tell me your opinion first. How should the Xu family treat the Yang family in the future?"

After pondering for a moment, Xu Mingwei said, "This trip to the county town has made me understand the meaning of 'might makes right,' and my Xu family has always been committed to avenging wrongs."

Ah Yuan is right. Politeness is politeness, and resentment is resentment. If the Yang family really comes to demand our people back in six years, I'll make sure they never leave."

"Looks like you're full of resentment," Xu Chuan said calmly, then looked at Xu Mingyuan, "A Yuan, it's your turn."

Xu Mingyuan said, "Our current situation with the Yang family is somewhat similar to our situation with the Xu family in the past."

"Oh, why do you say that? Aren't the Wu family and the others?"

Xu Mingyuan shook his head and said, "The Wu family is different. They want to stop us because we have threatened the interests of their martial arts school. We have our eldest brother, who is a young master with innate talent, and Gu Yiping, the master of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School. We are not afraid of either wealth or martial arts."

As for the Xu family, they were the wealthiest family in Dongxi when my father was young. They have their eyes on the Qingyu pears that my father has worked so hard to cultivate, and they want to take away our profits.

As for switching to purchasing, it's likely that consideration was given to Father's reputation in Dongxi, as well as his own family's prestige.

The Yang family is the same. They want to recruit the Xu family's descendants with good martial arts talent, and they also want Xueji to marry into their family. However, they both cherish their own reputation, so they use cultivation and marriage as a pretext to enhance the Yang family's foundation.

My Xu family was unable to shake the Xu family back then, and now we are powerless against the Yang family either. We can only endure and develop discreetly. As for how to deal with the Yang family…

"Go on," Xu Chuan said calmly.

"Let's keep to ourselves and wait until we have the strength to humiliate them, but we shouldn't make enemies, or rather, there's no need for it."

Xu Chuan smiled slightly, shook his head and chuckled, "A Yuan, you're trying to guess what your father is thinking, aren't you?"
