Villain: The Old Man Has Done Good Deeds All His Life And Helped Justice

Wang Yanran left Wang Lin's Cave Mansion, her temperament becoming cold.

"Yanran, how is the situation with the Patriarch? Does he have any instructions?" Wang Jie, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time, couldn't wait to ask when he saw his daughter coming out of the formation.

"The Patriarch is fine, father, you don't need to worry," Wang Yanran thought for a moment and replied.

Although she wanted to spread the news of Wang Lin's breakthrough, since Wang Lin hadn't told anyone, he might have his own plans. Until she obtained Wang Lin's permission, she would absolutely not speak about it, even if the person in front of her was her father.

"Yanran..." Hearing his daughter's ambiguous answer, Wang Jie's face darkened.

Wang Lin's deadline was approaching, and the entire Wang Family was extremely anxious. They had mobilized the entire family's strength to search for the Life Extending Pill. They even urgently wanted to see Wang Lin, hoping to use the power of the entire clan to help him through this life-or-death crisis.

However, Wang Lin told them not to worry, leaving them with no way to help, like ants on a hot pan.

Finally, when they managed to get Wang Yanran to come back, this was the answer they received?

The more Wang Jie thought about it, the angrier he became, and he scolded angrily, "Have you forgotten your father's instructions? The Patriarch is crucial to our Wang Family, and there must be no mistakes."

"After all the hardships the family went through to find out this information, why aren't you taking it seriously at all?"

Wang Yanran pursed her lips, feeling a bit wronged.

Is she not paying attention?

Does Wang Lin really not need the Divine Fire Lotus?

Looking at her father's appearance, if she doesn't give an explanation, today will not end well.

With this in mind, Wang Yanran's beautiful eyes flickered, and she had to lie to her father.

"Father, rest assured, I have already spoken to the ancestor. The ancestor has also given me puppets, talismans, and a set of sword formations. This trip to the Crimson Fire Secret Realm will definitely be foolproof."

The treasures she mentioned, Wang Lin had already given them to her.

So she wasn't worried at all about being exposed.

Wang Jie probably never imagined that his obedient and well-behaved daughter would actually lie.

He also didn't think that Wang Yanran would deceive him in such an important matter.

So when he heard Wang Yanran's words, Wang Jie didn't have any doubts. He showed a happy expression, and the worry that had been hanging over him finally dissipated.

Realizing that he had been too anxious just now.

Wang Jie cleared his throat, his face stern and his expression dignified as he said.

"In that case, go back and familiarize yourself with the treasures bestowed by the ancestor, and be sure to obtain the Divine Fire Lotus."

Wang Yanran nodded.

Even if Wang Jie didn't say it, she would still go and search for the Divine Fire Lotus.

Treasures like the Divine Fire Lotus, even if she couldn't use it, wouldn't diminish its value in the slightest.

With this in mind, Wang Yanran's beautiful eyes turned, and she suddenly said.

"Father, why have you been preventing me from breaking off the engagement?"

Wang Jie frowned, pondered for a moment, and explained.

"I am good friends with Xiao Huo's father, and coincidentally, he awakened the Seven Star talent, the Crimson Fire King Body. So he intends to strengthen our relationship through marriage."

"I just didn't expect Xiao Huo to suddenly become useless. If I were to break off the engagement now, I'm afraid..."

At this point, he shook his head and didn't continue speaking.

He personally came to arrange the engagement, but now that Xiao Huo has become a waste, he decisively went to break off the engagement.

Wouldn't this make people think that he is untrustworthy and opportunistic?

The Wang Family is a big and reputable family, and they value integrity in business.

As the head of the Wang Family, if he were to bear such a bad reputation, it would be a significant blow to the reputation of the Wang Family.

So this marriage absolutely cannot be broken off by the Wang Family.

"Not breaking off the engagement, do you really have the heart to let your daughter marry a useless person?" Wang Yanran said angrily.

"Haha!"

Wang Jie seemed to have heard a huge joke, his gaze carrying a hint of disdain.

"How could I let you marry a useless person?"

Even if Xiao Huo is already useless, even if his talent is still there, it wouldn't be easy to marry his daughter to him.

But then again, he was truly blinded by greed back then.

His precious daughter is the most outstanding genius in the history of the Wang Family, with the resources of the Wang Family devoted to her cultivation, she will have extraordinary achievements in the future.

Isn't it better to keep her in the Wang Family?

Why would he think of marrying her off?

Regret.

Wang Jie regretted it for over a decade.

"What does father mean?"

Wang Yanran was somewhat stunned.

Not wanting to divorce, yet not allowing her to marry Xiao Huo.

What is Father trying to do?

Is he planning to have the Xiao family come and annul the marriage?

"Alright, you don't need to worry about this matter. Father will handle it."

Wang Jie's momentum was deep, his eyes gloomy.

As early as three years ago, after Xiao Huo became useless, he had hinted to Xiao Zhan several times, asking him to voluntarily propose a divorce.

But Xiao Zhan seemed to be blind, ignoring his hints.

Wang Jie was very clear about his good friend's thoughts, nothing more than wanting to cling to the Wang Family's golden thigh and pave the way for his own son.

It must be known that, because of Wang Lin, the Wang Family was extremely wealthy.

The Wang Family's business in pill refining, spiritual weapons, talismans, and other items spread across over a thousand cities in the Great Azure Mountain.

Moreover, the family had numerous strong cultivators, with fifteen in the Violet Palace realm and three in the Fetal Origin realm.

They were truly an apex level two-star family, capable of advancing to a three-star family at any time.

As for the Xiao family, they were only a family that barely entered the one-star level, with only two Divine Sea realm cultivators, barely surviving in the Wutie City.

Wang Jie's eyes grew gloomier, regretting more and more.

He secretly thought, "I have already given you a chance. Since you want to pave the way for your son and seek benefits for the family, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Is my daughter someone your useless son can match up to?"
