After the failure of several Male Descendants, Qi Hao appeared to reconcile with them and even distributed some important family businesses among them. The Zhang Family temporarily fell silent, but not long after, just as Qi Hao had married, the Male Descendants of the Zhang Family all met with accidents within a few months, along with their families.
There were whispers in the martial world questioning the cause of their deaths, yet there was no evidence to support any claims. As events unfolded, when everyone expected Qi Hao to continue maintaining his hypocritical facade, he suddenly announced in the martial world that the Zhang Family would be renamed the Qi Family.
The martial world was once again in an uproar, but what could they do? With no evidence regarding the deaths of the Zhang sons, and with Zhang Jingxue remaining silent while all resources of the Zhang Family were firmly in Qi Hao's grasp, his position was secure. Some attempted to challenge him under various pretexts, but the outcomes were always disastrous.
After several such incidents, the martial world finally quieted down, and everyone had to acknowledge his status. It turned out to be a case of seizing the nest. Sang Qingxiao sighed. The main reason was that he always had a way of causing others' families to fall apart while leaving no trace of evidence, which made everyone wary of him.
But why did he tolerate the Liang Family? I doubt they are easy to deal with either. Don't be fooled by Liang Shangshan's rough appearance; he is quite astute and knows how to survive. Although he publicly quarrels with Qi Hao, he has never taken any substantial actions to usurp power.
Without feeling threatened, Qi Hao would not take action. During my conversation with Liang Shangshan in Yezhou, I sensed that he was not content with merely developing in the martial world; he subtly probed into matters concerning the Court and Military while praising the Military's rigor and joking about wanting to send a few boys for training in the barracks.
Thus, it seems that the Liang Family's ambition has never been fully focused on competing for dominance in The First Family of the Jianghu. Sang Qingxiao recognized Qi Xiaomian's assessment that Liang Shangshan was indeed a person of significance.
So, I also indirectly engaged with his sons to discuss military strategies and found that they had quite insightful perspectives. What’s this? Are you tempted? If the Liang Family truly comes knocking at my door, I have no reason to refuse.
Sang Qingxiao chuckled, suggesting that perhaps they never intended to join your Wolf Howl Camp in the first place. Let them be; my Wolf Howl Camp never lacks for people. Sang Qingxiao glanced at a few figures frolicking not far away and urged me to call my eldest son over; as more people gathered, we mustn't let anything slip.
The beastly appearance of Silly Beast was concealed by Sang Qingxiao's talisman, but as we moved further into the state where more people mingled together—fish and dragons mixed—it was hard to guarantee that no one would notice.
Qi Xiaomian wore a reluctant expression.
"What’s wrong? It hasn’t even been that long, and you’re already complaining about your big son?"
"Why are you joking with me like Old Vine? He’s not my son! He’s older than I am; I couldn’t have given birth to him!"
"A godson or an adopted son is still a son, right?"
Qi Xiaomian replied irritably, "He’s neither a godson nor an adopted son!"
Sang Qingxiao mimicked the silly beast from the past few days, saying, "Mian Mian, scared! Mian Mian, ah, hey, eat, delicious! Mian Mian, so sleepy! Mian Mian, let’s sleep together! Mian Mian, silly beast likes you! Mian Mian, do you like the silly beast?"
As Sang Qingxiao spoke and laughed, imagining Qi Xiaomian being helplessly entangled in this situation, she laughed so hard she could barely catch her breath.
