The Human Emperor (1-200)

C44: Secret Exposed

‘An army is valued by its speed; better early than late.’ While Wang Chong was still in his room, conflicted over the Stone of Destiny, he received a news from his cousin, Wang Zhu Yan.

On this aspect, with big uncle behind her, her intelligence network was much greater than his.

Wang Chong was spot on!

The Yao Clan’s Old Master Yao had truly put down his pride and appeared at his grandfather’s living quarter in the Four Quarters Embassy tonight!

The Yao and Wang Clan were officially in peace talks.

After Wang Chong’s reminder, when Big Uncle Wang Gen joined the conversation, he added the issue about having Cousin Wang Li’s name added in the promotion list as part of the negotiations and requested for the Yao Clan to cooperate with Wang Li’s promotion.

On this issue, Old Master Yao had no choice and accepted it on the spot. After that, they started negotiating about political matters.

It was a rare opportunity for the Yao Clan to be seeking a truce, hence, grandfather and big uncle made full use of this opportunity and added in more demands on the political aspect so as to scrape a layer of skin off the Yao Clan.

Wang Chong’s cousin, Wang Zhu Yan, was extremely surprised over the matter and her disbelief was clearly expressed in the letter.

“That old fellow sure reacted fast!”

After sending away the servant ‘Second Sister’ Wang Zhu Yan sent, Wang Chong couldn’t help but be impressed with Old Master Yao.

Wang Chong didn’t expect that Old Master Yao would pay a visit to his grandfather so soon. His sensitivity toward such issues and his decisiveness wasn’t something anyone could compare to.

Old Master Yao had never lowered his head to his grandfather through their decades of battle. Yet, for his offsprings, he made this decision with absolutely no hesitation.

This was also why the Yao Clan was fearsome!

As long as Old Master Yao was breathing, the Yao Clan was an indestructible entity. There was no one who was capable to destroying the Yao Clan!

However, this wasn’t what Wang Chong was concerned about.

Wang Chong was certain that with his performance, everyone’s impression of him had changed. Wang Chong even remembered the shock in his big aunt’s eyes when she was bidding farewell, as well as the delight his mother showed when she glanced at him.

Even his father, Wang Yan, in his letter, expressed intense joy and disbelief over the affair. Wang Yan had always held an unfavorable impression toward his son, and what Wang Chong found the most difficult was to change the impression his father had of him.

However, after the incident with King Song and Yao Guang Yi, Wang Chong believed he should have completely altered the impression his father had of him.

As for the clan…

Wang Chong glanced at the letter on the table. In the letter, Wang Zhu Yan had questioned him about the matter and her incredulity was expressed through her words. This was an indication of the clan’s current impression of him.

Even though it was insufficient for him to enter the core of the family just like that, without a doubt, he had earned everyone’s acknowledgment!

“… Currently, there’s just one more matter left!”

Wang Chong chuckled. As the saying goes, ‘joyful occasions come in pairs’. Wang Chong had received a note from Wei Hao, saying that the forging of the Wootz steel weapon should be completed within these few days.
