Wang Shaoyang asked puzzledly, "Grandfather, since you already know that this marriage might not succeed and could bring trouble to our family, why not stop it and let it continue?"

Wang Chaoyang said, "No matter what, you are my grandson, and since you like that girl Liu Ying, how can I, as a grandfather, willfully destroy it? Although it might bring trouble to the family, since you want to marry her, grandfather will support you."

At this point, he shifted his tone and continued, "However, the reason grandfather supports you, aside from this, also has other intentions, which is for the sake of the family! Including my order for you to dissolve this engagement, is for the same reason."

"Because that person not only has great strength, but his background is even more astounding, even grandfather cannot afford to offend, this would drag our entire family into an abyss! So for this matter, don't blame grandfather, I have already supported you to the greatest extent, doing this is out of necessity."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shaoyang clenched his fists, a hint of gloominess passed across his face, he shook his head and said, "Grandfather, I don't blame you, I understand everything you do for the family, I only blame myself, really useless! Can't even hold onto the woman I like, if I were stronger than Ye Xuan, how could Xiao Ying look down on me?"

Wang Chaoyang solemnly said, "Shaoyang, don't dwell too much on this matter, someone like Ye Xuan with talents nearly uncanny, even looking across the world, it's hard to find someone to equal him! Even with talents like your older brother, he would be overshadowed by him, let alone you? Relax your mind, don't dwell on this matter, it might become a knot in your heart, detrimental to your Martial Arts Realm! Don't lose your spirit because of it."

Wang Shaoyang shook his head and said, "Grandfather, I know what to do, you don't need to comfort me, I won't give up because of this! This setback is nothing for me, on the contrary, I will be even more full of fighting spirit."

"Moreover, through this matter, I also understood a principle, you cannot rely on external forces for anything! I originally thought that by relying on the family's power, I could suppress Ye Xuan, making him afraid to resist! But I was wrong, very wrong! External forces can show temporary might, but ultimately it's not one's own, only when one's own strength is strong can one really prevail in the end! Maybe this is why Xiao Ying looks down on me."

"All along, I appeared to rely on the family, invincible! But once I lose the family's support, I am nothing, just a complete weakling! How could she like a weakling? In the future, I will work harder on cultivation, make myself truly strong, only by then, will I be worthy of taking her back. Even if she doesn't like me, she won't look down on me anymore."

Wang Shaoyang straightened his chest, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Hearing these words, Wang Chaoyang nodded with relief, praised, "Shaoyang, you have finally grown through this experience, more mature than before! Grandfather is happy for you and believes that you will eventually become a strong person in the future!"

"Shaoyang, you've grown up, this is the demeanor a Wang Family heir should have."

Wang Qianjun was greatly relieved, he was worried that this matter would make Wang Shaoyang collapse, but it seems he was overthinking.

The latter's temperament is much stronger than he thought! Thus he felt at ease.

"Grandfather, Dad, don't worry, strength is the foundation of everything! No matter what happens in the future, I will not slack off even a bit, and will devote more time to cultivation! I, Wang Shaoyang, will prove to everyone that I am not worse than them." Wang Shaoyang spoke with a firm and powerful tone.

After saying this, he took out a vial of the Elixir of Myriad Herbs from his pocket, spoke solemnly, "I don't want to waste any more time, I am going into seclusion now, strive to improve my strength soon."

Wang Chaoyang nodded, instructed, "That's very good, since you have this desire to become stronger, then seize the time for seclusion! Martial Arts cultivation should be taken step by step, you mustn't act impulsively, especially your foundation must be solid, if you rush for success, it might hurt your vital energy, making it hard to advance your strength. Do you remember grandfather's words?"

"I know, grandfather, haste makes waste! I will cultivate steadily and won't rush for success."

Wang Shaoyang said seriously, tightened his grip on the Elixir of Myriad Herbs, and left to cultivate.

"This matter doesn't seem to be entirely a bad thing, at least this child Shaoyang has grown." Wang Qianjun sighed.

"Indeed, although this matter dealt him a considerable blow, it also made him understand what he's lacking, knowing shame and moving forward courageously, this is the conduct of a real man!"

Wang Chaoyang stroked his beard, smiled slightly.

"Father." Wang Qianjun hesitated to speak.

"Say what you want to say!"

After hesitating, Wang Qianjun looked at Wang Chaoyang, asked, "This whole thing, why do I feel like it was your plan all along?"

Wang Chaoyang smiled faintly, said, "Tell me why you think so."

Wang Qianjun said, "At first, I didn't connect the dots, I just thought you might be spoiling Shaoyang, that's why you gave him the Elixir of Myriad Herbs, but later when Ye Xuan showed up, and his master appeared, I felt the way things progressed was too deliberate, as if... you were purposely pushing the whole thing forward! If it was to help Shaoyang, you wouldn't need to go to such lengths, so I suspect you have other intentions? Yet, I couldn't figure out what you were actually after, given our current status, what could you possibly be so concerned about? Later I realized, you were after the favor of Ye Xuan's master!"

Saying this, Wang Qianjun showed a strange expression, said, "If I'm not mistaken, you actually knew the identity of his master long ago, and to get a return from him, you set this game on purpose, everything was within your control."

Wang Chaoyang glanced at his son in surprise, nodded faintly, "You're not wrong, I did know his master's identity in advance, and I purposely used Shaoyang as bait to push this matter forward! But you got one thing wrong, not everything was within my control. Do you think his master didn't see through this little trick? That old guy took action against me, firstly to seek justice for his disciple, secondly, to warn me not to be too clever by half."

Wang Qianjun looked worried, said, "Father, as for your injury..."

"My injury is nothing to worry about!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chaoyang waved his hand, a hint of a smile spreading on his face, mixed with a trace of excitement.

"With my injury, I was able to exchange a favor from Chen Xuanba, or rather, gain a Divine Pill from him that helps in making another breakthrough, this injury is worth it..."

Wang Qianjun immediately asked, "Father, the Divine Pill you're talking about, is that the item Ye Xuan's master gave you before?"

"Yes, exactly that!"

Wang Chaoyang smiled and nodded.
