Chapter 433 - 432: Wei Family
Dong Fengzhen brought her fifth son, Tian Qingyao, and called upon her eldest son, Tian Qinghui, to go out and greet them. After all, she was a woman and worried that the Wei Family might be displeased, thinking the Tian Family had lost manners.Wei Yuanqing was an elderly man with white hair and beard, looking somewhat like a sage with a touch of ethereal charm. He wore a gray Zhongshan suit, with neatly combed hair, beard under his nose and chin, and even his eyebrows were snow-white.
Behind him, was a very handsome young man, almost resembling a doll, and another who emanated an aura of coldness, giving off a feeling of warning to strangers.
Dong Fengzhen, along with her two sons, stepped out to greet them. Wei Yuanqing was very courteous, not showing any sign of displeasure, and the two disciples behind him followed suit, even the icy one greeted with great politeness.
Dong Fengzhen instantly gained a favorable impression of the Wei Family; they were all Mystic Doctors, yet the Wei Family seemed much more amiable.
However, she quickly learned why the Wei Family appeared so approachable.
Dong Fengzhen led the three from the Wei Family straight to the inner courtyard. Luo Xuhua stood in the corridor, watching these people come and go, a glint of intrigue in his eyes.
He had seen that icy-looking person before, at a big boss’s place, and to be called a big boss, one must have significant backing.
This big boss was highly courteous to the icy young man. This person’s identity and origins were quite mysterious; Luo Xuhua had attempted several times to probe but couldn’t figure out who he was, and sending people to investigate only met with various obstacles.
He later realized that these obstacles were no coincidence.
Why would such a person appear at the Wei Family?
Dong Fengzhen led Wei Yuanqing and the three into the inner courtyard, into the hall, and glanced at the family patriarch.
Tian Heming stood up to welcome the three from the Wei Family, uttering courteous pleasantries, but he had his own suspicions.
Although the Tian Family was a government-recruited clan, perceived as having supreme honor by outsiders, it amounted to little in the eyes of these Mystic Doctors. Today, a Left-wing member, Tao Hailin, arrived, which greatly pleased Tian Heming, despite this man’s arrogance.
Then, a Right-wing Wei Family member arrived, all prominent figures, causing further suspicion in his heart.
Tian Heming naturally knew their intentions, but never expected Beisitian’s status would be so high in these people’s hearts.
After exchanging pleasantries with Tian Heming, Wei Yuanqing, without looking at Tao Hailin seated at the head, went directly to Beisitian’s side, smiling as he said, "I’ve long heard of Doctor Bei’s name, and today I finally had the honor of meeting him. Your reputation is certainly well-deserved!"
Wei Yuanqing did not elevate his stance significantly. Even though he was currently the head of the Right-wing, he could not achieve what Spiritual Pointing Talisman could. In this field, it was those who were capable that governed, and despite Beisitian being only twenty, he never thought to consider himself a senior.
Because Wei Yuanqing spoke with courtesy and humility, Beisitian gained a favorable impression, stealing a glance at Wei Zhongxun, winking at her, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wei, you flatter me."
Seeing Beisitian’s expression, Wei Yuanqing knew that their initial impression was good. Only then did he sweep a glance at Tao Hailin, sitting at the head, somewhat suspicious and uncertain, realizing that despite arriving early, it meant little as they had seized the advantage, and he was bound to fall behind while maintaining that overly serious demeanor.
Tao Hailin had dealt with Wei Yuanqing for dozens of years, being well aware of each other’s nature outside extremely important public occasions. They barely bothered with formalities, clearly knowing such insincerities were useless, as the rift between Left and Right-wing had reached a visible stage—putting on face now only showed their hypocrisy.
Therefore, Tao Hailin understood Wei Yuanqing’s character; this man was even more prideful than him, indifferent to ordinary people. Within the Wei Family, he might only be warm and pleasant to these two heirs!o welcome you?" Wei Yuanqing said with a smile.
While saying this, Wei Yuanqing actually knew much earlier, but intended to visit after Beisitian settled down. Unexpectedly, he heard news of Tao Hailin visiting, thus he hurriedly rushed to the Tian Family.
