Chapter 1186: Let It Be

~8 min read 1,540 words

"Wu Daoxuan, do you dare to run wild within the clan? Don't think that just because you are the Great Elder's grandson, you can escape the restrictions of the clan rules!" A flash of shock and anger crossed Wang Jianqiang's face.

In his heart, however, he was secretly complaining.

He had intended to sneak into the Fox Clan quietly and find a way to use the Transmission Array to reach the Fox Clan's main clan, but he hadn't expected to run into this mess the moment he entered.

Within the Wuling Domain Fox Clan.

The person with the highest status and authority is the Clan Leader.

Next down is the Great Elder.

This Wu Daoxuan is the Great Elder's most beloved grandson, so his status can be imagined.

He had no doubt.

Even if the other party violated clan rules and killed a fellow clansman within the clan, they would likely not pay with their life for it; at most, they would receive some punishment to appease the emotions of the clansmen.

If the real Wu Lei were facing this situation, he might fall into a crisis.

Unfortunately.

The current Wu Lei is no longer the Wu Lei of the past.

Hearing Wu Lei's shocked and angry voice, Wu Daoxuan sneered, unmoved.

Just as Spiritual Power surged on his body and he was about to strike.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Stop!"

Hearing this voice, the two of them subconsciously turned their heads to look.

Immediately, a charming figure appeared in their field of vision.

Upon seeing this figure, the murderous intent that had originally been raging on Wu Daoxuan's body suddenly dissipated.

"Xiner, you're alright!"

"That is truly great."

His figure flashed, appearing beside Wu Xiner, and he reached out to grab Wu Xiner's palm.

Wu Xiner frowned and took a step back.

She dodged his palm.

Wu Daoxuan was stunned, "Xiner, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Xiner shook her head, "Xuan Ge, there are so many people watching."

Wu Daoxuan was stunned and looked around.

Only then did he realize that in the time he had been confronting Wu Lei, he had already attracted many gazes from the surroundings.

He suddenly understood in his heart.

Although Xiner had been his childhood sweetheart, she had always been very restrained due to the influence.

Indeed, she had never held his hand in public before.

"Xiner, it was my lack of consideration."

A flash of apology crossed his face.

"Wu Daoxuan, what do you have to say now?"

Just at this moment, a cold voice suddenly arrived.

Wu Xiner looked at Wu Lei, then looked at Wu Daoxuan with a face full of confusion, "Xuan Ge, why did you start attacking Wu Lei while inside the clan?"

"If the Clan Leader and the various Elders find out, you will be severely punished."

Hearing Wu Xiner's words, Wu Daoxuan's expression stiffened, "Xiner, you had been away from the territory for so long without returning, and it just so happened that this Wu Lei followed you when you left, so I thought you had been harmed by him, therefore..."

"Hmph, ridiculous, would I harm Xiner?"

"Wu Daoxuan, today you must give me an explanation."

"Wu Lei" said in a cold voice, his eyes filled with anger.

"Enough!"

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed out from the air.

Wang Jianqiang looked on calmly.

The newcomer was middle-aged in appearance, with a cultivation level that had reached Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection.

"Greetings, Elder of Enforcement."

Seeing this middle-aged man, the surrounding Fox Clan members bowed one after another.

Even Wu Daoxuan was no exception.

Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi, who had transformed into the appearance of Wu Xiner, bowed to the newcomer along with the crowd without changing their expressions.

Afterwards, Wang Jianqiang, with a face full of grievance, said, "Elder of Enforcement, Wu Daoxuan accused me for no reason, and disregarding clan rules, wanted to kill me."

"I ask the Elder of Enforcement to uphold justice for me."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the Elder of Enforcement's gaze flickered, and he looked at Wu Daoxuan indifferently, "Wu Daoxuan, although you were eager to protect a friend, you were too impulsive."

"Fortunately, you had not yet struck, and failed to cause an irreversible situation."

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Wu Daoxuan's expression flickered, and he nodded, "I know I was wrong."

The Elder of Enforcement nodded and looked at Wang Jianqiang again, "Wu Lei, you clearly knew that Wu Daoxuan was on the verge of losing his reason, yet you were still so sharp in your words, which carries a suspicion of provocation, and you are also at fault."

"Let this matter end here."

Wang Jianqiang secretly curled his lips in his heart.

If the identities were swapped in today's matter, and it were Wu Lei who was actively provoking.

A severe punishment would certainly be unavoidable, and it is even very likely he would lose his life because of it, but Wu Daoxuan only gave a perfunctory apology, and the matter was thus brushed aside.

Such a difference can truly be called significant.

If Wu Lei were not dead, he would likely find it very hard to accept.

However, Wang Jianqiang is merely a "fake Wu Lei," and his goal is simply to borrow the Transmission Array.

He does not need to immerse himself so deeply into the identity.

His heart was as calm as an ancient well, a look of defiance flashed across his face at just the right moment, and after a long silence, he nodded, "Fine."

Seeing Wu Lei so sensible, a look of satisfaction flashed in the Enforcement Elder's eyes.

"Since that is the case, this matter ends here."

As he spoke, he looked sternly around, "Clan rules are supreme; anyone who violates them will receive severe punishment. I hope you can take this as a warning and maintain awe for the clan rules."

The words fell.

Spirit Light flashed on his body, and he disappeared.

After the Enforcement Elder left.

The people around looked at Wang Jianqiang, one after another revealing looks of pity.

This Wu Lei is also unlucky; not only was he almost accidentally killed by Wu Daoxuan, but he couldn't even get justice.

But this is also something he brought upon himself.

Who told him to overestimate his own capabilities and try to compete with Wu Daoxuan for a woman?

Wu Xiner is the Clan Leader's granddaughter; how noble is her status?

She and Wu Daoxuan are a perfect match.

Wu Lei is merely the son of a servant, with a lowly status.

To dare to covet Wu Xiner and compete with Wu Daoxuan, isn't this seeking death?

"Xiner, let's go."

After the Enforcement Elder left, Wu Daoxuan didn't even glance at Wu Lei, looking at Wu Xiner with a face full of gentleness.

Wu Xiner nodded.

The two walked forward.

As they passed by Wang Jianqiang, Wu Xiner suddenly stopped, looked at the livid Wang Jianqiang, and spoke softly, "Wu Lei, are you alright?"

Wang Jianqiang seemed not to have expected Wu Xiner to show concern for him; after being stunned for a moment, he shook his head with a face full of joy, "Xiner, I'm fine."

"That's good."

Wu Xiner breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward.

And at this moment.

Wu Daoxuan's expression, however, became ugly.

Hasn't Xiner always been cold toward Wu Lei?

Why did her attitude toward Wu Lei change today?

This is clearly not a good sign.

One must know, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest.

If Xiner can improve her attitude toward Wu Lei, it is possible for her to develop feelings for him.

This kind of thing must absolutely not happen.

He must nip this matter in the bud.

Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at "Wu Lei" and quickly chased after Wu Xiner.

Seeing the two leave one after the other.

Wang Jianqiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

That dead girl Lingxi is just messing around.

According to Wu Xiner's original personality, she would absolutely never pay attention to Wu Lei.

Her "concern" just now would very likely become a flaw.

But fortunately, his acting skills are now perfect, and he caught Mu Lingxi's act in time, so he didn't reveal any flaws.

This girl is good in every way, except she is too playful.

He couldn't help but shake his head and walk toward the direction of Wu Lei's residence.

The next day.

A sorrowful piece of news spread throughout the Wuling Domain Fox Clan.

The Enforcement Elder Wuji had fallen, and his state of death was very miserable.

Upon hearing this news, Wang Jianqiang was stunned.

His first reaction was to take out a Sound Transmission Talisman to send a message to Mu Lingxi.

A moment later.

Spirit Light lit up on the Sound Transmission Talisman, and a message was sent back.

After listening to the reply in the Sound Transmission Talisman, Wang Jianqiang shook his head helplessly; it really was Lingxi who did it.

But fortunately, although this girl's actions were a bit radical, she had ultimately learned a few of his essentials.

The aftermath was handled properly, and no flaws were revealed.
