liang sheng’s mansion.

on the night of the fire near the liang family main mansion, the sounds of gongs and drums, and shouts of rescue efforts, were unceasing due to the fire.

liang sheng didn’t sleep well that night. he came out of the secret room to check the situation and, after some deliberation, quietly returned to his room.

with such a commotion going on, it was only expected that ma san would come to look for him. if he wasn’t in his room, there might be trouble.

of course, he could have just stayed in the secret chamber, but he needed ma san to disappear from this world.

though even raising a dog could bring some attachment, let alone a loyal servant who had followed him for decades. though liang sheng was not a good person, he had his own bottom line.

as expected, after he hadn’t laid down for long, there came a knock on the door, and ma san’s words made liang sheng somewhat grateful for his decision to return to the room.

“master, the main family has sent someone to take you to the ancestral hall. they say that the ancestor has left his seclusion and is summoning everyone in the family!”

liang sheng immediately responded, hastily put on his clothes, and opened the door to find ma san and a guard from the main family standing there.

“master sheng.”

the guard was not too respectful, but liang sheng didn’t mind, following them without any hesitation.

liang sheng’s promptness had a simple reason: the guard’s strength was only at the second level of the post-natal realm, and if there was any problem with them, he could easily kill them halfway and then flee.

if there was no problem with them, but he didn’t dare go to the liang family ancestral hall, things might get dangerous.

thankfully, there were no problems with the guard, and they rushed with liang sheng to the liang family ancestral hall at the fastest speed possible.

on the way, not only liang sheng but also other younger generation members of the liang family were hurrying towards the main mansion.

however, during the journey, liang sheng saw countless people still carrying water to put out the fire and couldn’t help but feel shocked: the liang family appeared to have suffered severe losses this time.

when they arrived at the ancestral hall, the atmosphere inside was extremely solemn. he found a remote corner and stood there motionless.

in front of the ancestor tablets, not only was liang ying present, but also the liang family ancestor and another person who hadn’t appeared for a long time: liang ping.

however, when liang sheng saw him, his emotions remained calm. when all the younger generations had gathered, the liang family ancestor, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

at the same time, the gate of the ancestral hall slammed shut with a clang.

“last night, someone provoked our liang family, burned down countless of our shops, and brutally slapped our faces in front of the people of jinzhou. what should we do next?”

the liang family ancestor’s voice was calm, but everyone could feel the anger contained within it. at this moment, the patriarch liang ying stood up abruptly.

“of course, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! those who violate the liang family shall die!”

at these words, liang sheng stood in the corner, surrounded by the young disciples of the liang family who were instantly stirred up by liang ying’s words.

“an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! those who violate the liang family shall die!”

the liang family ancestor looked at the scene with satisfaction, knowing that the valiant spirit of the men in their family was still present: the arsonist last night must die!

then, liang ying began to assign tasks according to the strengths of the family’s younger generation. as for liang sheng, he had long been disregarded by everyone.

if it wasn’t for him already being an “old man of the liang family”, they probably wouldn’t have bothered to call him there today. after all, what use could a waste, who had stayed in the second level of the post-natal realm for decades, have?

liang sheng was happy to be carefree, not interacting with anyone. when the gathering ended, he immediately returned to his mansion.
