Chapter 39: The Eight Great Families and the Five Great Sects

  When Wei Hong entered the stone room, he found that apart from Wei Tian Nan, Sun Bo was also there. Moreover, this place turned out to be a small martial arts training ground. At this moment, both Wei Tian Nan and Sun Bo looked at Wei Hong's arrival with a hint of a smile.

  "Father, what's going on?" Wei Hong walked up to Wei Tian Nan and said calmly.

  Seeing Wei Hong like this, Wei Tian Nan smiled faintly and softly asked in return: "Is it because of the cold treatment you received before that you harbor resentment in your heart?"

  Wei Hong did not speak, as he was a fusion of two souls, and naturally had some dissatisfaction in his heart. However, Wei Tian Nan's next words left Wei Hong speechless.

  "The Martial Arts Continent, the strong are revered, and it's the same in our Wei family. Moreover, to cultivate the family's power and expand the Wei family, those with poor talent are destined to be abandoned. All resources will naturally be used on geniuses like you, this logic, you should understand." Looking at Wei Hong, Wei Tian Nan continued to say.

  Although he didn't agree, Wei Hong couldn't help but admit that Wei Tian Nan was right, so he slightly lowered his head: "I understand."

  "Nowadays, your brother is the next head of the family. I hope that when you become powerful in the future, you can help support the Wei family a bit." Wei Tian Nan's words were naturally also without any objection from Wei Hong.

  Although he was initially not good at the Wei family, when the Wei family was destroyed, he still gave him a touch, and he couldn't be too cold-blooded.

  "Alright, now I want to tell you about the situation at the main house. You'd better mentally prepare yourself, because this time all the young geniuses from each branch will be going to the main house. Although your strength has shocked me, there aren't many others from the other branches who can fight beyond their level." Wei Tian Nan said seriously as he looked at Wei Hong.

  Family is an important part of the Wu Qi continent, and the Wei family in Fog City has a huge influence in the country of Wujie. In the entire surrounding area of Fog City, there are more than 40 branches, and Songlin Town's Wei family is just one of the ordinary branches.

  Every time there is a big comparison, each branch must send its best disciples to the main house. Naturally, those with higher talent and stronger abilities will receive more care from the main house. All these disciples are for the sect's recruitment that happens once every three years.

  Although the family is powerful, to continue growing stronger, it naturally needs the protection of the sect. Wuji Country has a total of eight cities, and when the sect recruits people, each city will produce one of the most powerful families, so there are eight major families.

  Wuji Country has a total of five major sects, namely Liuyun Sect, Qingfeng Sect, Beiming Sect, Qihai Sect, and Tianyuan Sect. Among them, Tianyuan Sect and Liuyun Sect are the strongest, both being seventh-grade sects. Qingfeng Sect is an eighth-grade sect, while Beiming Sect and Qihai Sect are ninth-grade sects.

  ……

  These things, Wei Hong had not known before. At this time, after hearing Wei Tian Nan's words, he also showed a hint of understanding. In fact, this is equivalent to a mutually beneficial thing. The branch family sends talented people to the main house and gets benefits, while the family inputs talented people into the sect and also gets benefits. After all, it's just that the strong are superior.

  "There's still a year to go, and it will be the day of the sect's grand election. At that time, the five major sects will send people to Yun City to preside over the election. You must seize this opportunity. If you are not selected by the sect, then in the main house, you will not be taken seriously at all." Wei Tian Nan looked at Wei Hong and solemnly exhorted him.

  Next, Wei Tiannan and Sun Bo had a simple conversation with Wei Hong about their cultivation. Just when Wei Hong thought it was time to leave, Wei Tiannan suddenly asked Sun Bo to go down. Then, he seriously turned to Wei Hong and asked: "How did you know you were poisoned? Moreover, your toxicity has clearly been resolved?"

  Wei Hong's normally calm face finally showed a hint of vigilance, and then, looking at Wei Tian Nan, he asked cautiously: "Does Father know that I was poisoned?"

  "Yes, and your poison, I couldn't dispel it either. Because if I did, the Wei family of Songlin Town would be exterminated, and later on, your qualifications weren't good either. So, I thought letting you become an ordinary person wasn't a bad thing." Wei Tian Nan's face revealed a hint of bitterness as he spoke faintly.

  Wei Hong was originally still angry, but when he saw Wei Tian Nan like this, he naturally understood that there must be a hidden reason. After hearing the cause of the matter, he couldn't help but shout in anger: "What a tyrannical Liuyun Sect!"

  "I reckon it's been two years, they've long forgotten about you. So, as long as you don't provoke them again, this matter won't change much, even if they find out. If you can stand firm in the main house and make the sect look good in the grand election, nothing will happen." Seeing Wei Hong's expression, Wei Tian Nan thought he was worried, so he smiled and advised him.

  Wei Hong didn't say anything, only because he had glanced at their sect's genius earlier and was poisoned. This was still due to the fact that there were too many people around at the time, making it impossible for them to make a move. Otherwise, Wei Hong estimated that he would have died long ago. No wonder he hadn't thought about how he got poisoned until now. At this moment, Wei Hong firmly remembered the name Liu Xiang'er. For now, he was still too weak, but when he had enough strength, he would go to Liuyun Sect and ask for an explanation.

  "Alright, tomorrow we'll be heading to the host's place, you go prepare for now. Tomorrow I'll send you to the gathering point. Also, this time, apart from you, Wei Ning will also be going, I hope you two will take care of each other when you arrive." Wei Tian Nan reminded him at last.

  Wei Hong nodded slightly: "That's natural."

  When Wei Hong returned to the yard, he suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound, and was startled. He hurriedly walked towards the house, and when he pushed open the door, he saw Xiao Ye crawling on the bed, quietly crying.

  The creaking of the door woke up Xiaoye, who hastily lifted her head and saw Wei Hong behind her. She quickly wiped away her tears and said: "Young master, I'll go cook for you."

  "Has someone else bullied you again? Who is it? I'll go and deal with him." Wei Hong did not let Xiao Ye leave, but instead stared at her and said calmly.

  "No, young master, can I follow you to the main house? Wherever I go, I'll serve you and promise not to cause any trouble." Xiao Ye hastily waved her hand and said, then looked at Wei Hong with a pitiful expression.

  Wei Hong shook his head and laughed, he didn't go to Fog City to have fun. Moreover, although he was now very confident in himself, he hadn't become arrogant enough to think that others from different branches weren't his match, so it was naturally impossible for him to bring a maid along.

  "After I leave, I will leave you some silver coins. When the time comes, you can return to your hometown and it will be enough for you to live on." Wei Hong said softly, looking at Xiao Ye.

  Xiao Ye let out a silent sigh in her heart and continued walking towards the outside, but Wei Hong didn't notice the determined look that flashed across her eyes.
