Because Zhong Wentao had told him before, no matter how enticing these people were, he would never agree to it, nor would he believe his.

"You're crazy!"

Cheng Hua shouted, he could not wait any longer.

A small box could actually make everyone look at him in unison. If this wasn't a disaster, then what was?

Zhong Wentao was right, this thing cannot be left alive, definitely not.

"Grandfather, I'm leaving first. I'll also take this with me."

Cheng Yang said, then took the box and left.

"No way!"

Second Uncle immediately stood in front of him, not allowing him to leave.

This thing belonged to the Cheng Family. Cheng Yang could be the Patriarch, but he could not take it away.

Perhaps in the future, they would be able to find other ways to unlock the locks. How could they compete with a child who had never been to a university before?

"Second brother …"

Cheng Yang's father opened his mouth, and although he looked like he was helpless, he was the one who was in the best mood out of everyone here. His own son was the Patriarch, what could make him more excited than this?

"Shut up!"

Second Uncle coldly said. He had long understood all of this, and the one who was the most proud was actually number four and his family.

Thinking this way, the remaining people all scattered in all directions. No one wanted to continue staying here, and they all left even faster than Cheng Yang.

Zhong Wentao had always been standing behind Cheng Yang, supporting him.

"Mr. Zhong Wentao, please leave for a moment. We still have matters to attend to at home."

It was the first time Cheng Yang's father was this polite to him, which surprised him a little.

As expected, once Cheng Yang had status, it would be different. Even his own father could not casually treat him.

"No way!"

Cheng Yang immediately said, preventing Zhong Wentao from leaving.

"Cheng Yang, stop messing around."

When Cheng Yang's father opened his mouth, he treated the person before him as if he was a son that had not grown up yet.

Cheng Yang felt that he was unfamiliar, and it would be better to treat him like how he treated him in the past.

"Dad, forget it."

Cheng Hua quickly said, it didn't matter even if Zhong Wentao was here, if he angered Cheng Yang to the point of leaving, then it would not be worth it.

As expected of Cheng Hua, to be able to think of his current interests in an instant.

Cheng Yang was no longer just a straw bag like before, but the most important existence of their Four Houses. If they were unable to rope Cheng Yang in, it would be equivalent to being abandoned.

"Yes, yes, yes. It's me who's in a hurry."

The man laughed as he spoke, completely different from the cold and emotionless Zhong Wentao had when he first met him.

Zhong Wentao didn't mind as he sat on the sofa and drank his tea quietly.

Old Master Cheng looked at Zhong Wentao calmly, and felt satisfied. He had not misjudged the person, if he was with Zhong Wentao, wouldn't that mean that Cheng Yang would look even better?

"Are you interested in playing chess with me in my study?"

He did not care about the others' expressions and brought Zhong Wentao away. It could also be considered as giving his son and grandson some space to talk.

Giving Cheng Yang a calm gaze, Zhong Wentao followed the old man to the study room.

Zhong Wentao had come to this study room before, the furnishings were the same as before, there were no changes.

Sitting on the chair, Old Master Cheng's eyes became much sharper.

Zhong Wentao naturally knew why, but he didn't mind.

"Speak, how did you know?"

The old man said coldly. He could see that Cheng Yang had opened the lock according to what Zhong Wentao had taught him.

How could Zhong Wentao open the Cheng Family's things?

"Very simple."

Zhong Wentao laughed and spoke, he did not feel troubled at all.

He couldn't open it with anything, so why was there such a lock?

The only explanation was that they had been sealed using some sort of method. Coincidentally, he understood these methods very well, so he told Cheng Yang the simplest one.

It could only be said that the ancestors of the Cheng Clan weren't that powerful. This was probably the simplest method to reinforce the lock, but it died before it could be passed down to the ancestors. That was why the box hadn't been opened until now.

"It's just a small seal."

"You know the Dark Nether Art?"

The Old Master was very shocked. He looked at him seriously, and there was actually a hint of adoration in his eyes.

"I know a bit."

Zhong Wentao did not hide anything, his previous move had already been discovered, there was no point in continuing to hide it.

The Dark Nether Art was a technique invented by later generations. In fact, it was something everyone had to use before they arrived, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to survive in such a cruel era.

For a small seal to come into contact, he had to come into contact with some secrets. The reason he didn't let Cheng Yang see the contents of the seal was also because he was afraid that Cheng Yang would connect with some things prematurely.

"You … "Very good!"

Old Master Cheng nodded seriously, feeling more and more deeply moved.

With such a person accompanying Cheng Yang, he could finally rest at ease. In the future, no matter how troublesome the rest of the Cheng Clan members were, they would all be dealt with.

Zhong Wentao, not bad.

"What's with Cheng Yang taking over so early?"

Zhong Wentao asked in all seriousness. He had answered a question, and the Old Master Cheng had to answer one as well.

"I'm old, there are many things that cannot be taken care of. In the future, the world will belong to you, young people."

The Old Master Cheng sighed, but Zhong Wentao heard the conspiracy from inside.

It was obvious that there were some things that couldn't be solved in the Old Master Cheng. He was the one who asked Cheng Yang to take the blame, and using such a dignified expression, it was all thanks to him coming up with this idea.

"Unfilial son!"

From downstairs, there was the sound of an ashtray shattering, and a loud roar.

If not for the fact that he was infuriated, he wouldn't be making such a loud noise.

"Aren't you going to go down and take a look?"

Zhong Wentao smiled and asked. This Old Master Cheng really knew how to find a backpath for him.

He had originally thought that he pitied Cheng Yang, but now he realized that perhaps Cheng Yang was the most pitiful person there.

He was pushed out at such a young age. If he did not have someone helping him, his future would definitely be extremely difficult.

"You should go down."

The lordmaster spoke with a smile, obviously on purpose.

When Zhong Wentao got down, he found Cheng Yong lying on the ground in a sorry state. Cheng Hua and their father had also hid far away, looking at Cheng Yang as if they were looking at a monster, as if they had seen a terrifying thing.

"What is this?"

Zhong Wentao laughed and said, Bai Shiyun had walked down the stairs at some point, and was standing at the door, and upon seeing him, shook her head helplessly.

"Let's go."

Cheng Yang did not answer, but only coldly spoke.

Zhong Wentao had never seen anything like this before, but when he felt the spirit energy become stronger, the spirit energy in Cheng Yang's body finally awakened.

It seemed that these three people had completely provoked Cheng Yang with their anger.

Had he known it would be so easy, he would have brought Cheng Yang back long ago.

"You can't leave!"

Cheng Yong who was on the ground was in a miserable state, but he still struggled to speak. He must keep Cheng Yang and that box.

"You overestimate yourself."

After saying that, Cheng Yang quickly walked over. Cheng Hua quickly retreated, not caring about his own little brother. Although Cheng Yang's father did not move, he did not have the intention to stop Cheng Yang.

"What do you want?"
