Liang Sheng's Mansion.
After reminding Liang Sheng, Liang Qiang directly took him to Yichun Building. This man was also quite stubborn, and had been stifled at home during this period of time.
As a result, the uncle and nephew spent another night of spring breeze together. When Liang Sheng returned to his mansion the next day, his tired face instantly refreshed.
All of them were old foxes, each with more tricks up their sleeves than the others!
Who could have thought that the three major martial arts families of Jinzhou City, who had been shouting and killing, causing countless casualties, would in the end, only be performing a play for the County Government Office?
No wonder Liang Qiang only reminded him not to go out before, without worrying about the safety of this "waste" himself, it turned out that he knew that the war would not reach the settlements of the three major families.
However, after carefully thinking about it, Liang Sheng's heart suddenly felt a little terrified. If the three families had staged a play, did the County Government Office really know what tricks they were playing?
Perhaps not!
Otherwise, why would the County Government Office let the Liang and Wu families compensate the Gao Family after the incident, and yet let the Gao Family be responsible for compensating the losses in Southeast Street?
Perhaps their intentions were well known to each other, but they just wanted to maintain surface peace and did not want to expose them.
Their idea was simple: they would never make a fatal move unless they were absolutely sure of themselves.
Sure enough, they were all millennia-old foxes. This time, he had also learned his lesson from them and would have to be more cautious in his future actions.
However, although the Liang, Wu, and Gao families appeared to be cooperating and tacitly coordinating in the face of the County Government Office, they were also guarding against each other; this was human nature, and it was the same everywhere.
But no matter what they did, all he needed to do was watch the flowers bloom and fall in the quiet courtyard because time was on his side. Why bother with unnecessary worries? The most important thing was to focus on cultivation.
On that night, the battle in Southeast Street was fierce, and many people died. However, as time went by, the people of Jinzhou City gradually forgot about it. At most, they would talk about it during their meals. Jinzhou City also returned to its bustling atmosphere.
After that, Liang Sheng returned to his normal life. He would go to Yichun Building in his spare time and enjoy his life.
The girls in the building seemed to become even more enthusiastic. It was said that Liang Qi's infatuation for the fireworks girl Qing'er led her to become a nun, which happened right before their eyes. Quite a few girls seemed to believe in love once again.
The girl serving Liang Sheng had eyes that seemed to be dripping with water. Liang Sheng would play along at night, but all the feelings of that night would be completely gone when the dawn broke.
Only leaving behind the girls' resentful expressions, "Why are the people of Liang Family so heartless?" they thought.
Time passed gradually in these peaceful and relaxing days, and in the blink of an eye, five years had passed. On this day, the younger generation of the Liang Family was gathered together for a clan meeting.
Because Liang Ying had broken through to the Postnatal Seven-Realm, officially stepping into the high-level martial arts realm, this was definitely a great event for the Liang Family.
A 30-year-old martial artist with the talent of the Seven-Realm was truly gifted!
Even the Liang Family Ancestor had not stepped into the Postnatal Seven-Realm at this age back then. This brought relief to everyone in the Liang Family.
Over the past five years, although Jinzhou City was still a three-legged stand between the Liang, Wu, and Gao families, the Liang Family was still somewhat powerless in the face of the Gao Family with its two Postnatal Nine-layered Martial Artists.
However, Liang Ying's breakthrough was like a shot of adrenaline for the Liang Family. They now had someone to succeed the family, which was truly a great relief.
The Liang Family Ancestor immediately decided to let Liang Ying take the position of Family Head. As for Liang Ping, who had reached the Post-Natal "Eighth" Level, he naturally followed the Ancestor to fully focus on closed-door cultivation.
The pressure was also great for the Liang Family Ancestor. Of course, he also hoped to have more help, so he would no longer have to look at the Gao Family's face.
With Liang Ying's breakthrough, Liang Ping, who had reached the Post-Natal "Eighth" Level, could finally be freed from family affairs and concentrate on breaking through to the Postnatal Nine Realms.
At this moment, all the younger generation of the Liang Family was standing neatly in the Ancestral Hall. Liang Sheng hid quietly in a corner, watching the succession ceremony of the Family Head.
At this moment, Liang Ying knelt before the Ancestral Tablet. Liang Ping formally placed the ring which represented the position of the Family Head on Liang Ying's hand.
In an instant, more than a dozen strong men immediately struck the large drum, with its powerful and passionate sound. Liang Ying then stood up, turned around to face all the Liang Family's younger generation, raised his right hand, letting the Family Head's ring shine brilliantly under the sunlight.
In an instant, all of the Liang Family's younger generation knelt on one knee, "Greetings to the Family Head!"
Seeing this scene, even though Liang Ying tried his best to suppress his emotions, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride at this moment. From now on, he would be in control of the Liang Family!
"Starting today, I will do my best to bring the Liang Family to its peak!"
"Family Head, mighty!"
Liang Sheng cheered along with the crowd. He watched Liang Ying in the sunlight without much emotion, thinking to himself that no matter how glorious Liang Ying was in this moment, he would ultimately end up just like everyone else – buried beneath the earth.
Even a Postnatal Nine-layered martial artist would have a maximum lifespan of only 110 years. Liang Sheng could now easily outlive two Postnatal Nine-layered martial artists.
If Liang Sheng were to reveal his true cultivation level at this moment, most people would undoubtedly be shocked.
Name: Liang Sheng
Age: 32
Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Extreme)
Techniques: Golden Dragon Technique (Sixth Layer), Longevity Skill (Eleventh Layer), other Lifespan Cultivation Techniques (Ninth layer) [Note: There are too many techniques to list]
Realm: Postnatal Sixth Realm (50%)
No one would have thought that the once useless man had now cultivated to the Postnatal Sixth Realm. If he could progress one more step, he would achieve the Martial Arts Superior State.
Nevertheless, this was not what pleased Liang Sheng the most. It was his breakthrough to the unprecedented Eleventh Layer in Longevity Skill.
All his other Lifespan Cultivation Techniques had also entered the Ninth Layer. As a result, Liang Sheng's lifespan had increased by a staggering 180 years. Just by breaking through the Eleventh Layer of Longevity Skill, he added 40 years to his lifespan.
Who in the world could compare to him!?
After the Family Head ceremony came the banquet for the entire clan. The Shengde Building, managed by Liang Sheng, was naturally one of the main forces of this event. However, he still sat in the most secluded corner.
While Liang Sheng enjoyed the feast, Liang Qiang quietly approached him and gestured for Liang Sheng to follow him. Their departure did not attract the attention of anyone else.
How long had it been since Liang Sheng last visited the backyard of the Liang family residence?
Liang Sheng felt a bit disoriented as he followed Liang Qiang, making seven or eight turns before they finally stopped in front of a room.
Liang Qiang signaled for Liang Sheng to enter on his own. Liang Sheng didn't hesitate, but took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in. Liang Qiang gently closed the door, then stood nearby to keep watch.
Liang Sheng dared to enter directly because he had been here when he was young. This was the study of the Family Head, Liang Ping.
At this moment, Liang Ping was writing at his desk. Hearing Liang Sheng enter, he didn't even raise his head. Liang Sheng greeted him first.
Liang Ping was still focused on writing, but he spoke up, "You've arrived? Just sit down and wait for a while."
Liang Sheng sat down obediently, but had a trace of doubt in his heart. Why would Liang Ping, who hadn't been involved in his life for so many years, suddenly summon him on this very day?
Although he was puzzled, Liang Sheng was not impatient. For a time, the study was quiet, save for the sound of Liang Ping's brush against the paper.
Time passed peacefully.
