My Brother's the Protagonist? Good Thing I Awakened My System!

Chapter 46: Wang Yifan Appears



The Feng Clan, having seized the assets of the other three major families, saw their wealth increase dramatically.

They were already wealthy from the success of Feng Yun's pills, but their riches grew even more after they gained control over nearly all the markets of Misty Vale City.

Feng Chen didn't hold back and distributed the resources that he acquired to make the Feng Clan even stronger.

Most of the time, many of the Feng Clan Members were cooped up in their private chamber cultivating.

Only those responsible for managing the businesses or attending to the clan's affairs were not in seclusion.

A few elders were also always present to accompany Feng Chen to meet with leaders of other clans who came to congratulate the Feng Clan on their rise to power.

It was not just clans from Misty Vale City, but also those from other cities sought to form alliances with the Feng Clan.

With news of Feng Chen reaching the Three Elements Divine Realm spreading, he had become someone everyone wanted to befriend.

After all, cultivators in the Three Elements Divine Realm are rare and highly respected in the Azure Sky Empire.

Additionally, it is widely known that the Feng Clan has a Second-Grade Alchemist and seven Grand Elders at the Grand Qi Condensation Realm, making the prospect of befriending them even more appealing.

In any case, the neighboring cities' powerhouses were either weaker than Feng Clan or about equal.

Therefore, it was also in their interest to befriend Feng Clan and avoid making enemies with them.

"Please everyone, wait in line!"

Outside the grand gates of the Feng Clan's manor, a crowd had begun to gather. Servants were working hard to keep the guest in lines as they entered the hall to meet with Feng Chen.

Representatives from various smaller families, merchants, and even a few independent cultivators arrived, each carrying gifts to congratulate the Feng Clan on their newfound dominance.

Some came with ornate boxes filled with spirit herbs or rare minerals, hoping to curry favor with the Feng Clan.

Others brought unique treasures or finely crafted weapons, all eager to show their support and possibly secure a future alliance.

A distinguished elder from a lesser-known merchant family, the Huang family, approached Feng Chen with a deep bow, presenting a jade box that shimmered with a faint light.

"Feng Clan Leader" the elder began respectfully.

"Please accept this humble gift as a token of our family's admiration for your clan's strength and wisdom. May the Feng Clan continue to thrive and flourish."

Feng Chen received the box with a polite nod.

"Thank you, Elder Huang. The Feng Clan values your support and friendship. We shall remember your gesture."

As more people stepped forward, the scene became lively, filled with voices congratulating the Feng Clan and expressing hopes for a prosperous future under their leadership.

The atmosphere was one of celebration and anticipation, the crowd eager to align themselves with the city's new ruling family.

Feng Chen maintained a courteous demeanor as he interacted with each guest, expressing gratitude for their gifts and well wishes.

Though he was friendly and approachable, he was careful not to make any promises or formal commitments regarding alliances.

Amidst the crowd, a servant hurried towards Feng Chen, weaving through the throng of people.

"Clan Leader," the servant announced, his voice low and respectful.

"The leader of the Wang Clan has arrived and requests an audience with you."

Feng Chen raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the news.

The Wang Clan was the only other major family left in Misty Vale City.

Since they are appointed by the Royal Family, they neither interfere with Misty Vale City's power struggle nor dare to offend them.

Of course, the incident of Three Major Families getting destroyed would warrant the attention of the Wang Clan.

However, the Feng Clan already had enough reason to do so.

Moreover, the Three Major Families had also been involved with outsiders which only further justified Feng Clan's actions.

Therefore, Feng Chen wasn't worried that the Wang Clan or the Royal Family would blame them.

"Escort him to the main hall," Feng Chen instructed calmly.

"I will meet him there shortly."

The servant nodded and quickly retreated to carry out his orders. Feng Chen turned to the elders who had been assisting him throughout the day.

"Elders, please continue to greet our guests and ensure that they are well attended to," Feng Chen said.

"I will handle the matter with the Wang Clan personally."

The elders nodded in agreement, understanding the importance of Wang Clan's arrival.

Although by strength, the Feng Clan far surpasses the Wang Clan. However, Wang Clan is supported by the Imperial Family and not someone that they can offend.

Arriving at the main hall, Feng Chen took a moment to think of a reason as to why Wang Clan Leader would come to meet him.

(It can't be that they are here to implicate me because of what I have done to the other Three Major Families?)

Feng Chen thought as there were many witnesses who saw Elder Zhou Lei and Elder Zhou Tianhua attacking their clan members first.

Anyways, he didn't need to ponder for much as Wang Clan made his appearance.

The Wang Clan leader, a dignified figure dressed in ornate robes, entered with a measured

stride.

Accompanying him was a tall, imposing figure whose aura surpassed even Wang Yifan.

(Peak of Grand Qi Condensation Realm. Does Wang Yifan want to meet with me because of him?)

Feng Chen thought. Seeing the mysterious guest, Feng Chen thought that maybe Wang Yifan was there because of that person.

"Clan Leader Wang," Feng Chen greeted with a slight bow, his tone respectful yet measured. "It is an honor to welcome you to the Feng Clan's manor. Please, have a seat."

Wang Jian returned the bow, his face breaking into a small, polite smile.

"Thank you, Young Master Feng Chen. I appreciate your hospitality, especially during such a busy time for your clan."

Wang Yifan first gestured for the man accompanying him to take a seat before settling down himself. This act clearly indicated that the man's status was superior to his own.

"So, Wang Head, what brings you here?"

Feng Chen asked.

"It is not I who wishes to speak with you," Wang Yifan said, glancing at the tall figure beside

him."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"He is?"

Feng Chen asked.

Wang Yifan gestured toward the imposing figure beside him.

"Allow me to introduce Steward Li of the Third Prince's entourage. He is the one who wishes

to speak with you."

"Oh! A distinguished guest from the Imperial Family. What is it that you wish to discuss with

me?"

Feng Chen asked. Although he said that, he had a feeling that it wasn't going to be any good.
