Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 17

After hearing his head maid’s explanation, Wang Wei smiled and was genuinely very happy for his little brother. Then he asked the maid:

"How did the Elders respond to Li Jun’s news?"

The Head Maid explained excitedly: "The Elders and Great Elders were shocked by Young Master Li’s determination. Furthermore, Great Elder LI Jiang has been very excited and bragging about his son to all the other Elders."

"What about the people who complained about all the resources Li Jun had received?" _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

"Young Master, all of them are silent now. They all praised the young master for his foresight and hoped that the young master would soon train a powerful general."

The Head Maid secretly looked at Wang Wei and the worship in her eyes increased. As the head maid of Wang Wei, she has basically watched him grow up. She witnessed all the glory that the Young Master had acquired during the past eight years.

She is also one of the few people who knew the Young Master’ status and the contradiction he had with the Elders regarding Young Master Li Jun.

But now, Li Jun has proven to all the people of the sect that he is deserving of the resources he had received and the one he would receive in the future.

Wang Wei easily noticed the change of his head maid through her soul fluctuation and he was secretly happy. As his head maid, she is bound to spend a lot of time with him and ensuring her true loyalty is one of his tasks. If she proved her loyalty, he would not mind training her as one of his future generals.

As for the group of elders who were previously dissatisfied with him, Wang Wei just sneered at them. Wang Wei knew that although the Dao Opening Sect had already decided to train him for the future Heaven Will’s fight, many people were secretly dissatisfied with this decision.

After all, the Dao Opening Sect has four major factions. All of them wished that the chosen person came from their faction.

One of the main reasons that people are dissatisfied with him is due to the fact that he was young and had not achieved any result to prove himself. All he has going for him is the fact that he is currently the most talented person in the sect.

As such, many people believed that as long as they found someone as talented as Wang Wei, then they could fight for the status of Sacred Son.

Wang Wei was aware of the people’s thoughts. In order to ensure his status, Wang Wei revealed his genius early on. He spent most of his time in the library, and every time he became enlightened on one of the scriptures, there would be a vision accompanying him.

Throughout the past five years, there have been so many visions created by Wang Wei that the sect’s disciples are now used to it. Furthermore, these visions further increase Wang Wei’s halo as a genius, thus consolidating his status in the eyes of the elders.

However, things turned around when Wang Wei decided to train Li Jun. Many people who were suppressed by him used this as an excuse to secretly attack him. Fortunately, Li Jun proved his worth during the Pagoda Trial, thus further suppressing these people again.

Wang Wei knew that the actions of these people were just mere temptation to decrease his status in the clan. He also believed that there will be many such temptations in the future.

These people are just waiting to find a talent that can compete with Wang Wei, but he was not afraid. As long as his plan for the next seven years goes smoothly, he will have the capital to fully suppress these people until they are not able to raise their head.

Wang Wei spent half a month to properly rest before heading to the Fifth Trial of the Pagoda.

In this trial, Wang Wei found himself the patriarch of a mortal clan. His clan was lavishly wealthy to the point that the royal family and other aristocratic families were jealous enough to form an alliance and put aside their thousand year feuds. They wanted to destroy Wang Wei’s clan and carved up its wealth.
