Speaking of this, a greedy spark flashed in Guan Ziwang’s eyes, "Lord Lihen has ruled this realm for over ten thousand years, and the wealth he has accumulated is beyond measure. The hiding place for it is none other than this Lihen Temple! Seizing it would grant us control over the most vital lifeline of Lihen Heaven!"
Upon hearing of the fortune left by Lord Lihen, Yan Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up, "I see, so how does Tower Head Guan plan to seize it?"
"Hehe, under normal circumstances, we might not even be able to get close to Lihen Temple, as it’s guarded by Lord Lihen’s most trusted and powerful guards. But now that even Lord Lihen is dead, these guards have greatly weakened. To save their own lives, they have already scattered. The main issue now is how to break through the protective barrier of Lihen Temple!"
Yan Yang grew more and more excited as he listened, and then, with a delighted face, he began discussing with Guan Ziwang about what specific steps to take next.
Yan Mengtao was also by their side, occasionally cracking jokes that made the two roar with laughter, creating an exceedingly harmonious atmosphere.
Under these circumstances, the entire hall was filled with joyous vibes, and everyone from Blood Tiger Tower and Yan Family believed in a bright future, thus gathering together to drink and celebrate.
Amidst this merriment, Yan Meishu, sitting in a corner, seemed as if forgotten by everyone.
Even when someone occasionally glanced in her direction, seeing the silent, head-bowed Yan Meishu, they couldn’t help but shake their heads inwardly, foreseeing this once glorious lady falling into obscurity.
This banquet lasted into the deep night; by the end, everyone from Yan Family, including Yan Yang, was completely drunk and unconscious.
Guan Ziwang, with a smile, ordered his subordinates to take all the people from Yan Family away to settle them. At this moment, he saw Yan Meishu slowly stand up, give him a deep look, and then turn to leave.
Watching Yan Meishu’s retreating figure, Guan Ziwang’s smile gradually stiffened.
Though she might appear just an ordinary girl, Guan Ziwang suddenly felt that her departing figure seemed to harbor many secrets.
This feeling of not being able to fully control the situation made Guan Ziwang’s gaze turn colder.
At that moment, the steward silently emerged from the shadows.
Guan Ziwang, without turning back, asked, "How is it?"
The steward replied in a low voice, "Everything has been settled!"
"Oh? What about Yan Yang?"
"The old servant has tested him; this Family Head Yan is indeed so drunk he’s lost consciousness, he even lacks the basic sense to perceive danger!"
Guan Ziwang sneered coldly upon hearing this, "Hehe, to think he trusted us so easily, I’m really puzzled—how did someone with his meager capabilities become a Family Head?"
The steward remained silent, then said after a pause, "Tower Head, should we bring that lady, Yan Mengtao, to your room?"
Guan Ziwang waved his hand, "Not for now! It’s time to use this Yan Family, we’ll have time to play leisurely with her after everything is settled!"
The steward nodded and then bowed back into the darkness, disappearing.
Guan Ziwang leaned back in his chair, his eyes flickering unpredictably, and a smug cold smile appeared on his lips.
"Did they really think I valued the strength of their Yan Family? If it weren’t for Lihen Heaven Lord being so wary of my Blood Tiger Tower, setting the temple’s defense barriers specifically against us, would I ever rely on these useless fools? And they even dream of sharing power with me, hehe, what delusional fools!"
"But that one named Mengtao is quite a beauty, once I seize the temple’s wealth, I’ll thoroughly enjoy her!"
Having said this, Guan Ziwang burst into a sinister, chuckling laugh, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light.
His appearance was truly like that of a Blood Tiger, coiled upon his seat.
The night quickly passed.
