The Ten Thousand Ways to Hug the Female Protagonist’s Thigh - Chapter 17.1

Li Yusheng was this generation’s most talented disciple of the Li family. With a single metal spiritual root, he reached Foundation Establishment at the young age of 25.

Five years ago, during the Taiyang Sect’s recruitment drive in the Eastern Continent, the young and talented Li Yusheng was accepted as an outer disciple. However, within five years, he successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment and became an inner disciple of the Taiyang Sect.

This time, he had returned to his family with a purpose.

Coming from a small border country, he had once considered himself a proud scion of a great family. But upon arriving in the Eastern Continent, he realized how narrow his worldview had been.

The world was vast, and there were countless talented individuals. Even though he had a single spiritual root, which was considered ordinary in purity, many disciples with heavenly spiritual roots—so-called geniuses—were in the inner sect.

For example, the Nascent Soul ancestors who could shake the heavens and earth in Nanyang were ordinary elders in the Taiyang Sect. Beyond Nascent Soul were the Divine Transformation, Void Refinement, Unity, and Great Ascension realms.

The peak master of his Taiyang Sect’s Taiyi Peak was a Void Refinement grandmaster. And the sect leader of Taiyang Sect had reached the peak of the Unity realm.

When he thought this was the pinnacle, he heard about the Central Continent, where heroes vied for supremacy, and the winds of change roared.

The Wen family had once been a top-tier family in the Central Continent. He didn’t believe that such a great family, even after its decline, wouldn’t leave some legacy for its descendants. Although the Wen family was no longer what it once was, its heritage and deep-rooted legacy could still be discerned upon closer inspection.

Even in this remote border region, the Wen family maintained strict discipline. Its disciples were self-disciplined and adhered to propriety, standing out as fresh air compared to Nanyang’s many corrupt and chaotic families.

As the saying goes, “If the world’s worst villain does one good deed in his lifetime, people will think he has reformed and become a good person.

But suppose the world’s greatest hero makes one mistake. In that case, people will think he was always deceptive, cunning, and deceitful, and thus become a villain.”

The same applies to a family’s reputation. The Wen family had always been known for its integrity. Still, uncovering more about the Wen family would be easy once a stain was proven.

Even if the accusations were baseless, with enough rumors and “evidence,” people would inevitably believe them.

Thus, the Li family could use this opportunity to take action.

The Li family was aggressive, but the Wen family was unwilling to swallow this bitter pill. In the original story, Wen Xuening was the one framed and extorted.

This time, due to Wen Shu’s influence, Wen Ling became the Li family’s tool to destabilize the Wen family.

Wen Ling was now on the verge of tears. She honestly recounted everything that had happened the previous day, including her strained relationship with Wen Xuening.

Wen Ling sobbed, “We only had some verbal disputes; we’re not mortal enemies. How could I work with outsiders to cause trouble for my family.”

“You did nothing wrong. As a Wen family disciple, you must never work with outsiders against your own.”

Wen Ziwen nodded, then looked at the elders and said, “Ling’er has been framed, and I won’t let this go unpunished.”

“We must not let them have their way.”

The clan leader comforted Wen Ling, frowning as he agreed.

The Li family was still waiting in the outer hall for an explanation, so the clan leader told Wen Ling to remain calm, follow them to confront the situation and act accordingly.
