Wu Wan'er caught a glimpse of the deep sadness in Wang Chao's eyes, but she didn't say much. She couldn't understand why Wang Chao felt such profound sorrow, even more than her own. Wu Wan'er was unaware that it stemmed from a sense of loss, a feeling of helplessness and unwillingness. She didn't know if mentioning something painful about Wang Chao had triggered this emotion, so she chose to remain silent.
The atmosphere grew a bit awkward. Wang Chao sighed and then asked, "By the way, Wan'er, have you made any progress on that matter I asked you to inquire about last time?" Wan'er shook her head apologetically and replied, "I gave the orders yesterday, but there hasn't been any news yet. However, don't worry, Brother Wang Chao; as long as we are in the capital, the Wu Family will definitely help you find them."
Wang Chao nodded. Indeed, two days was a short time. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone shouting outside the door. Listening closely, he recognized it was Lin Xudong. Lin Xudong's voice rang out, "Wang Chao, if you have the guts, come out!" Along with Lin Xudong's shout were voices from others; Wang Chao realized that Lin Xudong had brought friends along.
Unexpectedly, it seemed that even members of the Seven Great Families engaged in group fights. Just as Wang Chao stood up, he was pulled back by Wu Wan'er. She looked at him with concern and said, "Brother Wang Chao, you're injured and they have many people. It's better not to go out. Let me find Grandpa; he can handle them. Even though they isolate me, they won't dare to stop me."
Wang Chao shook his head and replied, "I'm their ancestor when it comes to fighting. Besides, do I really need your grandfather to deal with some kids? That would be too embarrassing for me. Just watch how your brother Wang Chao handles them." With that, he patted Wu Wan'er's shoulder to reassure her not to worry. Wu Wan'er nodded, and only then did Wang Chao push open the door and step outside.
As soon as he stepped out, Wang Chao saw Lin Xudong leading a group of people who had surrounded his small house. With Lin Xudong's shouts drawing attention, girls from nearby also came over; even Shen Zhitao arrived. However, Shen Zhitao wasn't worried about Wang Chao being at a disadvantage against these people and didn't try to intervene. Wang Chao noticed Shen Zhitao and smiled at her in acknowledgment.
Wang Chao boldly said, "Kiddo, so obedient! You really brought people here?"
This was a blatant mockery of the Lin Family among the Seven Great Families. In the past, Wang Chao would never have acted this way; he would have wanted to stay alive a bit longer. But now? This was an apocalyptic world where everyone lived in fear. The Lin Family had no idea what kind of mess they were in now; thus, Wang Chao didn't care how they viewed him. After all, before the Lin Family could grasp this situation, the Huangfu Family's retaliation would have already arrived.
Lin Xudong laughed heartily a few times and said, "Wang Chao, who do you think you are? Let me tell you; today I'm going to cripple you! If it weren't for Zhang Fusheng's face, I'd definitely capture you and feed you to zombies! Brothers, charge!" With that command, Lin Xudong waved his hand for his companions to advance. At that moment, however, Wang Chao made a stopping gesture and shouted loudly, "Wait!"
"Kiddo, are you scared?" Lin Xudong said smugly.
Wang Chao chuckled and replied, "You think it's interesting? You can't handle me alone so you bring all these people? So this is how the Lin Family operates? Tsk tsk! Have some shame."
Wang Chao waited until Lin Xudong finished his lengthy speech before responding; it was clearly meant to embarrass Lin Xudong. Sure enough, after Wang Chao spoke those words, Lin Xudong stood there dumbfounded. With so many people watching him as a member of the Seven Great Families—how could he face them? Seeing this unfold made Shen Zhitao nod inwardly; even with so many people on stage, did she really believe that Wang Chao couldn't handle them?
Even though Wang Chao's strength had significantly declined, he was still someone who could face Zhang Fusheng head-on. His power was evident, and when Wang Chao spoke, a small part of it was to humiliate Lin Xudong, but a larger part was to give the Seven Great Families some face. Although Wang Chao's gesture was not grand, at least he made an effort. Many people present noticed this; after all, not everyone from the Seven Great Families was like Lin Xudong.
Lin Xudong was at a loss for what to do after Wang Chao's remark. At that moment, Wang Chao stepped forward quickly and knocked Lin Xudong to the ground with a punch, causing gasps of surprise from those around them. Everyone had expected Lin Xudong to be embarrassed, but they were shocked to see him knocked down so easily by Wang Chao. Shen Zhitao shook his head helplessly; Wang Chao truly played by his own rules.
The companions called by Lin Xudong were also stunned; the fight hadn't even started yet, and their leader was already on the ground.
Wang Chao thought to himself, "When I was fighting in the orphanage, you were still in your mother's womb." He then spoke up, “Everyone, everyone, don’t just stand there in shock. These are not Lin Xudong’s companions; today, Lin Xudong has received his due punishment. Let’s not make things difficult for him anymore. As the saying goes, 'If you can spare someone, then spare them.' Let’s call it a day and disperse!”
With that, Wang Chao pushed through the crowd and walked away, leaving everyone in utter astonishment.
Wu Wan'er smiled at the crowd and approached Shen Zhitao. She asked, “Sister Shen, is Wang Chao always like this?”
Shen Zhitao shrugged and replied, “He’s always been like that.”
In Wu Wan'er’s view, Wang Chao's figure gradually receded into the distance as he aimlessly walked forward. His mind was still occupied with thoughts about Liu Xiaoxiao. He couldn’t forget that night when he had been holding a head and talking; the scene remained vividly etched in his memory. Before he knew it, he had wandered to the Small Building where Zhang Fusheng was coming down the stairs. Upon seeing Wang Chao, he called out, “Wang Chao, I have something for you.”
Wang Chao turned around and saw Zhang Fusheng throw something over to him. He caught it with one hand and discovered it was a manual titled Breathing Technique. Flipping it open revealed that it was written entirely in simplified Chinese characters; it looked handwritten. Compared to the last ancient-looking manual he had seen, this one resembled a primary school student's notebook. Wang Chao asked, “Is this really a legendary manual? It looks more like a notebook.”
“It is a notebook,” Zhang Fusheng replied. “My grandfather's notebook.”
That handwriting belonged to Zhang's grandfather during his training; it was undoubtedly more precious than any other manual. As the saying goes: "With this book in hand, I possess the world." Wang Chao hurriedly stored the manual in his Spatial Ring.
