Jiang Mansion.
After dealing with the two old men, Jiang Ping didn’t delay any further.
In any case, he had placed a seal on their powers.
They could only obediently do whatever he told them to do.
Jiang Ping had just stepped into the main hall.
When he looked up, he saw Wan’er holding the doll and dozing off on the chair.
When Wan’er saw Jiang Ping, she immediately became energetic.
She jumped down from the chair and ran to Jiang Ping in small steps.
She smiled and said, “Dad, you’re back!”
“Well, why is only Wan’er here?”
Jiang Ping glanced around but didn’t see Li Sushang and his two other daughters.
He asked again, “Where are Auntie Sushang and your sisters?”
“They’re sleeping.”
“Then why aren’t you sleeping?”
Wan’er thought for a moment and blinked her big innocent eyes.
She said softly, “I am worried about you, so I don’t dare to sleep.”
“You’ve nothing to worry about. I am just trying to reason with others and ask them not to set off fireworks.”
“It’s no longer noisy now. Go to sleep quickly, okay?”
Jiang Ping squatted down and rubbed Wan’er’s head lovingly.
Wan’er listened as he spoke, then pouted and shook her head.
She said proudly, “Dad, you can fool Yan’er and Liu’er, but you can’t fool me.”
“I saw it clearly. There were two black shadows fighting in the sky.”
“You didn’t go and reason with them. You went to mediate the fight.”
Jiang Ping’s hand that was rubbing Wan’er’s small head immediately stopped when he heard this.
However, his heart was in turmoil.
He had almost forgotten that as one’s realm improved, the various functions of the human body would also be strengthened.
Wan’er was now in the last stage of the tempering realm. Her eyesight and hearing abilities had long surpassed that of an ordinary person.
It was not surprising that she could see what was happening in the sky.
Jiang Ping scratched his head and asked stiffly, “Wan’er, did you see what those two black shadows were?”
“I don’t know what they were.”
“Dad, weren’t there two people in those two black shadows?”
Wan’er frowned and thought for a while before mumbling.
Looking at Wan’er’s expression, Jiang Ping calmed down slightly.
It seemed that Wan’er didn’t see what had happened.
She could only vaguely see two shadows fighting.
Just as Jiang Ping was racking his brain for a way to ‘explain’ the situation to Wan’er, the guard came rushing in.
The guard said respectfully, “Patriarch, someone is looking for you outside the door.”
“Looking for me? Who is it?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ping felt as if he could avoid ‘explaining’ to Wan’er.
He quickly stood up and was about to walk out the door.
The guard hurriedly replied, “It’s two old men, but they look very unfamiliar.”
Two old men? Jiang Ping immediately had a guess of who they were.
He then said to Wan’er, “Someone is looking for me outside.”
“I will not tell you for now.”
After saying that, he didn’t wait for Wan’er to react and immediately left.
“Hey!”
Wan’er immediately stretched out her hand, wanting to grab her father’s clothes, but she missed it.
“Hmph, Dad is always like this!”
Her attack missed, and Wan’er’s cheeks instantly puffed up with anger.
“No, I must figure it out today!”
Wan’er muttered to herself and quickly followed.
…
“Patriarch!”
When the guards at the door saw Jiang Ping, they immediately bowed respectfully.
Jiang Ping nodded indifferently and swept his gaze over to Feng Xinghe and Yu Feiyang!
Both of them happened to meet Jiang Ping’s gaze.
Judging from the reactions of the guards, they could finally confirm that this young man in front was really the Patriarch of this family clan.
The two of them couldn’t help but curse in their hearts.
You’re so young, but why don’t you have the vigor of a young man?
Why do you have to keep such a low profile? Are you here to hide from someone?
Jiang Ping caught a glimpse of Wan’er from the corner of his eye and his heart skipped a beat.
However, his expression didn’t change as he slowly walked in front of them.
He said in a low voice, “Why are you here?”
The two old men stuttered for a long time before Feng Xinghe finally said.
“Our, our cultivation levels have been restricted. We can’t take out money from our storage spaces.”
“Could you see if you can unseal a few of our cultivation levels?”
Feng Xinghe said with a red face, but he was afraid that Jiang Ping wouldn’t agree.
He quickly waved his hand and said nervously.
“There’s no need to unseal too much. Just let us take out the money from the storage space.”
Jiang Ping glanced at them. It was obvious that they were very nervous.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ping nodded.
“Okay, but you have to restore the town to its original state within ten days.”
“Sure, sure!”
After they received Jiang Ping’s permission, the two old men answered respectfully.
Jiang Ping was not worried that these two fellows would play any tricks.
After all, he could release the restriction at any time, and of course, he could also seal the restriction at any time.
With a light tap of his finger, an invisible aura swept past the two of them.
The two of them immediately felt that the true Qi that was restrained instantly loosened a little.
“Thank you, young master!”
“Please rest assured, young master. Within ten days, we will definitely restore the town to its original appearance.”
The two fellows felt the changes in their bodies, and they couldn’t help but be delighted.
They hurriedly made a solemn promise to Jiang Ping.
They were just short of patting their own chests.
Jiang Ping waved his hand and said expressionlessly.
“Alright, you can go. Remember, don’t think of playing any tricks.”
The two old men trembled and did not dare to delay any further.
They only said a few more words to reassure Jiang Ping before leaving.
When the two old men left, Wan’er walked out from behind the door.
She tugged on the corner of Jiang Ping’s clothes and asked in a childish voice, “Dad, who are those two old men?”
Jiang Ping suddenly said with a straight face, “What old men? You have to call them grandfather!”
“Didn’t I tell you to be polite!”
“Alright, Dad, don’t interrupt. who exactly are they?”
Wan’er quickly acted as a good girl and hugged Jiang Ping, while she said coquettishly.
Jiang Ping gave up and told her the ‘truth’.
“They are building houses. They are going to build a lot of new houses for the town.”
“Humph, Dad, you are lying. You’re treating me like a three-year-old child again.”
Wan’er placed her hands on her hips and turned her head away. It was obvious that she did not believe Jiang Ping’s words.
Jiang Ping was speechless.
Sigh, there was nothing he could do. Ever since he had flown home with Wan’er the last time, she was becoming more and more sensitive.
Jiang Ping decided to change the topic.
“Ahem!”
“Wan’er, why do you think we have to cultivate?”
“So that we can fight!”
Wan’er blurted out, scaring Jiang Ping so much that he staggered.
He gave her a slap on the head and said snappily.
