Chapter 411 - Yuanba's Worry
"On behalf of the Wang Family, I am definitely loyal and devoted to the Sect Leader Ling. I also hope that we can help the Sect Leader Ling unite and control the families within the Luoyang City as soon as possible. Hearing Ling Xiao's smile, Wang Yuanba continued to speak with his head down.
"Mm, it will be settled tonight. Hurry up, have you prepared what I need to see?" Ling Xiao asked.
Wang Yuanba looked up at Ling Xiao, nodded, and said, "Sect Leader Ling, bring them all in within three days."
"Alright, go ahead." Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed with satisfaction.
Before night fell, Wang Yuanba sent people to take care of the information on the target and bring it to Ling Xiao secretly.
Under the cover of the night, Ling Xiao left the Prince Mansion and began his hunting and killing.
The people on the list that Wang Yuanba had given him were all the top families in the Luoyang City. Their strengths were already stronger than the Wang Family, it was no wonder that Wang Yuanba would be unable to deal with them.
However, they were all easy targets for Ling Xiao to deal with.
However, what Ling Xiao wanted to do was to first capture the thief and the king, and then kill the chieftain s of the families, just like how he killed the patriarch of the Lin Family s before. At that time, no matter how strong the families were, under the situation where there was no leader, it would be chaotic.
It was a pity to destroy them just like that. It was best to try to preserve them as much as possible since it would take a lot of effort to nurture a strong army.
With Ling Xiao's ability, it was not difficult to silently sneak in, and killing people was even easier. In just two hours of time, the people on the list were already dealt with one by one by Ling Xiao.
It was late at night, and these people had all died in their own beds without notice. No one had noticed anything amiss throughout the entire night, so the silence continued all the way until the next morning when the servants came to deliver food and water.
As soon as he entered the room, he smelled the stench of blood. The servant was so scared that he fell to the ground, his body was numb and he did not dare to move. The first thing he did when he woke up was to run away and shout in panic, "The Patriarch is dead!"
Not long after, the news of several's powerful families having been killed had spread to every corner. At the same time, various versions of them had appeared, becoming the topic of discussion among the people.
At this time, Ling Xiao was in the courtyard drinking tea and basking in the sun, as if he was an old man living his life.
Wang Yuanba anxiously ran over and bowed to Ling Xiao. "Sect Leader Ling."
"Didn't I help you settle it? What are you doing here again?" Ling Xiao leaned back in the chair, and looked at Wang Yuanba with squinted eyes.
Wang Yuanba said embarrassedly: "Sect Leader Ling, the matter has been resolved, but new problems have appeared."
"Oh? "Tell me about it." Ling Xiao asked leisurely.
Wang Yuanba scratched his head and said: "I've received news today, that those patriarchs are all dead. Although the Sect Leader Ling is very careful in not letting outsiders know who killed them, and so everyone is discussing that it was my Wang Family who did it, these people are all unwilling to believe it.
"So?"
"So even if these patriarchs die and there are no more rebels, there's still no way to control them and make them behave themselves. It's mainly because these rumors say that the true strongest in Luoyang City is not the Wang Family, but someone else. This makes me very distressed." Wang Yuanba said as he frowned.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed out loud, and said: "Those people are right, your Wang Family is indeed not the strongest."
"This... This is only natural, the Sect Leader Ling is the strongest, but right now, isn't the most important task for us, the Wang Family, to be the strongest? " After Wang Yuanba heard this, he could only smile apologetically.
"Alright, I've known about the problem you're talking about since early in the morning. You can leave now. Don't disturb my mood." Ling Xiao waved his hand, and said somewhat unhappily.
Wang Yuanba was startled, "Sect Leader Ling, then what do we do?"
"I'll do it freely. You don't need to worry about it. Just wait for the news." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he closed his eyes and continued to bask in the the sun.
Seeing that, Wang Yuanba was unable to understand and could only bitterly leave.
This was something that Wang Yuanba could not handle. Without Ling Xiao's help, Wang Yuanba would have never thought of a way to solve this problem.
"Chief, how is it?" The steward who was waiting outside of the courtyard saw Wang Yuanba walking over, and walked forward and asked.
Wang Yuanba sighed, and said: "This time Sect Leader Ling did not say anything, and told me to come back and wait for news."
"But we don't have much time left. Right now, the families that are fighting back have no leader. If we can't control them within a short period of time, new enemies might appear. It's not impossible to subdue them." Hearing this, the supervisor said worriedly.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too. Such a serious problem, why don't you tell me why Sect Leader Ling is concerned about it this time?" Wang Yuanba's brows tightly knitted as he muttered to himself in a very puzzled manner.
Suddenly, Wang Yuanba clenched his fist and said determinedly: "That's not right, Sect Leader Ling will always make a cautious plan, and will never give up on it at this critical moment. He is not willing to tell me, he must have already made his move."
"So that's how it is. We can only wait for news from Sect Leader Ling." The butler nodded thoughtfully.
Without Ling Xiao's help and instructions, Wang Yuanba basically had no place to start. He could only pause his actions and wait for news from Ling Xiao.
Furthermore, in order to increase the enthusiasm of the families, he had proposed to choose a few representatives from different families to join the Wang Family. As a result, Wang Family had gained a lot of new faces.
On this day, another batch of new disciples came to Wang Family.
One of them had a very unique appearance compared to the others. One of them stood in the corner and remained silent, but his eyes were constantly looking up and down the room.
In order to express his sincerity, Wang Yuanba personally came out to receive him. When he saw the person who had a unique behavior, he could not help but frown and ask the manager beside him: "Who is that person, where did he come from, why does he look so sneaky."
The steward looked over, narrowed his eyes, and thought for a long time. Shaking his head, he replied, "I have no impression of him. I don't know."
"Hurry up and ask which family this is from. It's only right for one to stand so far away without any rules or etiquette." Wang Yuanba said unhappily after hearing this.
When the manager heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, I'll bring someone to ask about it now."
Following that, the manager brought a few servants and walked towards the man who was sizing up Prince Mansion.
