The Human Emperor (1-200)

C87: Obnoxious Big Aunt!

The Four Quarters Embassy was silent, but Wang Chong knew that this was the most heavily guarded locations in Central Plains.

Who knew how many Imperial Army experts were stationed here? Glancing from afar, one could see distortion in the space above the Four Quarters Embassy, and even the sun and stars looked slightly strange from here.

The Four Quarters Embassy has a simple design, and one could easily enter its compounds by flipping over the wall. However, when one truly entered the embassy, one would realize that countless peril awaited for them within.

One might be able to enter easily, but the same couldn’t be said about getting out!

Everytime Wang Chong entered the embassy, he would feel as though he was entering a steel enclosure.

“To think that I would return here.”

Looking at the Four Quarters Embassy, Wang Chong’s thoughts wandered and complicated emotions flashed across his eyes. Wang Chong had never liked the Four Quarters Embassy.

The reason was simple. The atmosphere here was too solemn, and it never felt like a family gathering. Rather, it seemed as though he was attending a ‘court assembly’ instead.

Furthermore, his grandfather, or the old master (this was how Wang Chong addressed him inside) was too incorruptible and upright.

Wang Chong was rebellious, inept, and often caused trouble. This made the old master particularly unfond of him. Thus, every time Wang Chong came here, he would be treated as though he was invisible, and he would be sidelined.

No one noticed him, and no one was concerned about him.

Because of this, Wang Chong grew more and more averse to coming here.

There were many things that one would only find important after losing them.

Wang Chong only felt the weight of that old master after his death. The entire Wang Clan lost its pillar of support, and the heavens crumbled upon them, causing them to fall all the way down.

It was until then did Wang Chong awakened and realized the significance of the old master to the clan.

Humans had to learn from their mistakes to grow.

Only many years later, when he was no longer young, did Wang Chong understand the intentions of his grandfather.

He has lived an upright and incorruptible life. Wealth, standing, and authority, none of these interest him. Even so, no one disliked being surrounded by children and grandchildren, and no one disliked living a blissful and leisure life after retirement.

The reason why he held on for so long, remaining in the Four Quarters Embassy even during his declining years, was for this family. It was for the offsprings of the Wang Clan!

Thus, in his previous life, many years after the death of his grandfather, when he roamed about the capital of the Great Tang once more and saw that the empty, unguarded Four Quarters Embassy, its weed-filled interiors, and that it has become nothing more than an ordinary residence, big uncle and little uncle fell to the ground and wailed in agony!

Wang Chong could never forget that sight.

In the past, Wang Chong felt fearful of this location, but after having lived his life once, his view of this location has completely changed.

It didn’t just represent the kinship flowing in his blood. To Wang Chong, this was also a sliver of hope for the empire.

If Wang Chong wanted to change the fate of the empire and the Central Plains, he had to receive the acknowledgement and assistance of the old master in the Four Quarters Embassy!
