There was a sense of emptiness in Wu Man's eyes, giving people the feeling that she had let go of everything, extraordinary and free.

This was the first time Shen Yan had seen this kind of look, as if the person standing in front of him was not Quan Xing Wu Man, but a Buddha who had left the mundane world.

"you..."

Patriarch Wang looked at him with a frown and murderous intent, but he calmed down his anger.

"Since you said you came to my Wang family to pay off your debt, then you injured and killed more than a dozen people from my Wang family. How do you want to settle this debt?"

Wu Man clasped his hands together and bowed his head, "Amitabha, since it is a debt repayment, of course I have to listen to the creditor. I will do whatever you say. If I can pay off the debt with my own life, Master Wang can take it."

Patriarch Wang had thought of many possible endings for his relationship with Wu Man, but he never expected it to be this.

"Okay, then, do you dare to take this Bi Yuan needle and go back to the Wang family with me?" The head of the Wang family took out a long needle from his pocket and looked at him coldly.

Wu Man had a faint smile on her face and sat down on the ground: "I will follow the orders of Patriarch Wang. Please lead the way."

The head of the Wang family walked up to him, suppressed the anger in his heart and inserted the long needle into his Du meridian. During the whole process, Wu Man's expression did not change at all, and he still had a faint smile on his face.

Then he stretched out his hand to ask for permission, and several members of the Wang family walked towards the Wang family with Wu Man in between.

When passing by Shen Yan and the other two, Wu Man looked at Shen Yan. When their eyes met, Wu Man nodded her chin slightly, then looked forward and walked straight ahead.

"Captain, I didn't expect that the notorious Mo Ming would surrender without a fight. What do you think he was thinking?"

Lu Ren was also quite curious, so Wu Man asked Shen Yan. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the emptiness in his eyes can't be faked. Maybe he really let go of everything and succeeded in proving the truth."

"Junior brother is right. In Buddhism, people like this are called Arhats. That's the feeling Wu Man gives me now."

The three of them followed the Wang family and talked about Wu Man. When they arrived at the Wang family, the head of the Wang family smiled apologetically at Shen Yan: "My dear nephew, I'm sorry to have troubled you. I didn't treat you well when you came to my place, and I asked you to come with me."

"Uncle, what are you talking about? It is only natural for the younger generation to serve their elders when they are in trouble."

The head of the Wang family called Wang Ai over and said, "You accompany your elder brother Shen. My dear nephew, you brothers should drink some wine together first. We will talk after I finish my work."

He asked the butler to lead everyone to the place where the guests would be served and to prepare a sumptuous meal, and instructed that all the fine wines in his collection must be brought out.

Then he temporarily detained Wu Man in an empty room and turned around to report to his father.

Patriarch Wang was reading Buddhist scriptures in the house. Seeing his son return so quickly, he wondered, "Why did you come back so quickly? Didn't you find Wu Man?"

"No, Dad, it was Wu Man who surrendered."

He told the old patriarch about Wu Man's intention to repay the debt.

The old patriarch stroked his beard, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "Don't torture him, and don't neglect him. Treat him like a guest. I'll meet him tonight."

"Yes, Dad, do you want to meet Shen Yan?"

The old patriarch shook his head and said, "No need. You are the boss of the Wang family now. How to steer the ship is up to you, but remember that the four families have always been united. The Lu and Wang families have expressed their views, and the Gao family in the four eastern provinces is active behind enemy lines and has a clear banner. We cannot fall behind others, and we should not do things like Mi Hua's wavering and indecisiveness."

"I understand. Dad, you take a rest."

In the restaurant, Wang Ai frequently toasted Shen Yan, and everyone was toasting and chatting happily. This big darling of the Wang family was very good at livening up the atmosphere.

"Fatty, how are you and Guanshihua from the Northeast doing? Is there any progress in your relationship?"

Hearing Lü Ci asking him, Wang Ai looked bitter: "Since the Japanese invaded China, I haven't seen Shihua for a long time. My father told me to impress her with my sincerity!"

Shen Yan almost spit out his wine. He didn't expect Wang Ai to be such a romantic. He still couldn't forget Guan Shihua. Although he wanted to make friends with Chu Ma, it could be seen that he liked Guan Shihua very much.

Lu Ci curled his lips and said, "I think there is no hope for you. Guan Shihua won't even look at you. What are you still talking to her about?"

"Hedgehog! I won't let you talk nonsense. I believe she will feel my sincerity sooner or later."

The head of the Wang family also came to the restaurant at this time. He watched them drinking with a smile on his face. When everyone saw him come in, they all stood up to greet him.

"Everyone, sit down. I like watching you young people drinking. It's lively and exciting."

Wang Ai gave up the main seat and moved a chair to sit next to him. Everyone raised their glasses to toast the head of the Wang family. After putting down the glass, the head of the Wang family looked at Shen Yan.

"My dear nephew, I have read Lao Lu's letter. Now you are working hard for the country. My Wang family cannot fall behind. It's just a piece of Yin-Yang paper. I will give you as much as you want. This is also a token of my Wang family's appreciation."

"Thank you for your support, uncle. I am very grateful." Shen Yan stood up and was about to salute him.

Patriarch Wang held him down and said, "Sit down. We men don't need to be so polite. Last time I heard from your father that you and Miss Gong are already engaged. When the day comes when you get married, your uncle will definitely give you a big red envelope."

Shen Yan's face suddenly turned red, and Gong Er's face also turned red. He lowered his head and remained silent. Shen Yan looked at the head of the Wang family in confusion.

"Uncle, I'm engaged?"

Seeing his puzzled look, Patriarch Wang smiled and explained to him, "Your father and Chairman Gong have already settled the matter between you two, how come you don't know yet?"

"My little nephew...I really don't know. My father hasn't told me yet. Come, uncle, let me toast you."

As he spoke, he raised his glass to the head of the Wang family and glared at Lu Ci fiercely. Lu Ci pretended to be heartless and didn't even look at him, eating the dishes on the table with relish.

Seeing that he was trying to cover up something, Patriarch Wang stopped asking and turned the topic to the world of extraordinary people.

"My dear nephew, at present, your strength is still not equal to that of our friendly forces. I heard that the Secret Painting Sect has also sided with them, and many small sects have also been won over. Although you have partial support from the Four Sects, Xuan Sect, and Huawu, these forces should not be underestimated."

"Secret painting? Are they joining the friendly forces?"

"Now, there are only two schools of painting left, Shentu and Mihua, so I know more about their situations than others. Dou Ruchang, the third in command of Mihua, has a close relationship with Xu Qingbo of the friendly army. Last week, he sent many of his disciples to support his Statistics Bureau. However, there is still a possibility of winning over the internal discord of Mihua."

Shen Yan secretly pondered the meaning behind Patriarch Wang's words. Did he simply want to help him? That was definitely not the case. It was normal for each sect to choose its position.

But there are only two families left in the Danqing School. His words and deeds are nothing more than telling Shen Yan that Mi Hua and he are not the same kind of people. Planting a grudge in his heart, if the day of reckoning really comes in the future, the Mi Hua School will disappear into thin air, and only Shen Tu will be left who knows the art of Danqing.

If it were someone else, they might have felt a thorn in their hearts because of what Patriarch Wang said. But who was Shen Yan? He was a man who could make Ishikawa kneel down with just one word. How could he be so confused as to be a knife in someone else's hand?

So he said with a smile: "Uncle, rest assured, I know what's going on. No matter what happens in the future, I will never forget your kindness. Our organization will not forget those who helped us. Now that the country is in crisis, we must stick to the principle of facing the outside world with one gun."

The head of the Wang family nodded and smiled, "Okay, I feel relieved with your words. I will also tell you the truth. People in my Wang family are used to being casual. Although we can't fight with you like the Lu family, I will help you in the battlefield as long as you are in trouble, no matter how big the problem is!"
