Chapter Fifty Wu Family Manor

  It's been three days since I returned to Qing Shui Town, and Wu Ye Yu still remembers the shock he felt when he saw the ruins of his own home. After several confirmations, he realized that the ruins were actually caused by himself.

  Of course, the only one who knew about this matter was Wu Yeru himself. No one would suspect that this kid had done it. At that time, all the people present pointed their fingers at the assassin. Hmm, the target was very clear.

  Even when he was staring blankly at the ruins, Old Man Yao still came over to persuade him.

  "Don't worry, kiddo! It's just a house, this little loss I can afford. Isn't there a saying that goes 'the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come'? Just wait and your dad will find someone to renovate this place again, it won't take long before everything is back to normal! Hmm, you did well this time, I'm very pleased!" After finishing speaking, he patted Wu Ye Yu's shoulder and turned around to leave.

  "Whoa, I'm impressed! Oops, mistake... Didn't expect the explosive to be so powerful, it actually flattened this entire area! Hmm, must be related to the underground explosion? This could be useful though... With this experience, next time will be a piece of cake! Hehe, second time's the charm, right?" Wu Ye Yu glanced around cautiously, noticing that his words had caught someone's attention. He quickly pulled out a fruit and started snacking on it, then swaggered off to find Little Loli.

  Not mentioning Wu Zongyue's recruitment to rebuild the house, as the local snake head in Qing Shui Town, the Wu family has more than one property in the area. There is another place with a larger occupied area, but it is not in the town, but on a small mountain about 5-6 kilometers outside the small city. It is a villa built on the mountain, and its location is just opposite to the direction of the beast forest.

  After gathering, Wu Zongyue brought the crowd to the manor with a group of guards and servants from the Wu family. Naturally, the second lady and Wu San were also present. Wu Renjie hadn't been seen for several days, but there were many changes. Occasionally, when he exchanged glances with him, he didn't see any resentment in his eyes, and as a person, he had matured a lot.

  The trees are lush here, and small animals occasionally run across the mountain road. There are strange rocks and emerald water surrounding the area. The trees are all distributed at the foot of the mountain and on the hillside, but the top of the mountain is a mess of rocks. Apart from the slightly inconvenient transportation, Wu Yeru felt that this place was much better than the Wu family in the small town, and it was also a good place for cultivators to practice quietly.

  This small mountain is not very big, but its elevation is also not low. There are many high and inaccessible rocks on the top of the mountain. The highest point is a smooth and huge rock that pierces the sky. The shape of the entire mountain is roughly like an awl, which looks very strange and can be remembered at a glance. It's really a great place. Even for cultivators, before they reach a certain level of power, it's impossible to climb to the top.

  "This little fatty is really something, he actually didn't know about this place. If I had known earlier that the Wu family had such a great place, I would have come here long ago. This place is much better than where I used to live." While wiping away sweat, he looked up and gazed at the distant, towering and smooth stone wall, Wu Ye Yu was thinking to himself, whether or not he should find an opportunity to hollow out the inside and create a secret base. Just leaving it there empty like that would be a waste."

  "Brother Wu Ye Yu, you're spacing out again! Is that rocky cliff so fascinating? It's just a bit high, and you can't even climb it now. If you don't focus soon, others will catch up to you!" Wen Xue Yue said, who was already practicing the second level of "Basic Sword Techniques".

  Wu Yeru regained his composure and looked at Wen Xueyue, who was staring at him with a dissatisfied expression. He chuckled and said, "Hehehe, want to surpass me? It's not that I look down on you, Xueyue, but it's just that you don't have the chance now. This basic sword technique has only three layers, and you've just started practicing the second layer, while I've already mastered more than half of the third layer. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to catch up with me."

  "Hmph! It's not like you started learning a few days earlier than me, what's so great about that......" Wen Xueyue heard Wu Yeyu's words and shifted her body to the side, turning to practice elsewhere, her voice small enough that only she could hear it.

  It's said that the third level of content in "Basic Sword Techniques" is much more difficult than before, and it's also harder to practice. This involves aerial sword swings and sword displacement techniques. Aerial sword swings are self-explanatory, referring to the skill of exerting force in mid-air without being constrained. It's very hard to master.

  That is to say, by borrowing the power of swordsmanship or footwork, one can shift their center of gravity in mid-air and achieve agile movement.

  The primary stage is to practice in the air with the help of the sword's force, and when you can continuously use the sword to turn nine times in the air, it is basically considered to be practiced.

  The intermediate stage is to complete the turn by relying on the power of swinging the sword, which is much more difficult than the previous level. The technique is also quite complicated and requires a lot of time, which cannot be compared to the primary stage. Similarly, it is necessary to borrow the power of swinging the sword to transfer nine times in the air, which is very difficult.

  The advanced stage is to learn how to use the internal energy to coordinate with the previous two techniques, and only when you can continuously float in the air for more than five minutes can it be considered a complete achievement.

  If we say that the first and second levels of basic swordsmanship are more focused on solidifying the foundation, then the third level is more focused on technique, and it's extremely practical.

  Although, as a cultivator, when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, it is also possible to float in the air and move freely. For example, my senior who has reached the Sword King realm can temporarily suspend himself in mid-air by relying on the internal energy within his body, while my senior who has reached the Sword Emperor realm can remain suspended in mid-air until his internal energy is depleted. Those below the Sword King realm, no matter how high their lightness skill is, can at most only jump high and glide far, but it's still far from being able to truly float in the air.

  Even a master swordsman, wanting to ride the air is conditional, based on their thick cultivation. Moreover, wanting to ride the air and move is extremely exhausting, if it's not necessary, generally no one will do this, because they are more agile and safer on the ground.

  The fundamental sword technique, however, broke the norm, allowing this swordsman to achieve brief mid-air pauses. As he practiced further, neither his speed nor agility lost out to others; this was truly an extraordinary feat, although it couldn't be considered true flight.

  No matter how high or profound one's cultivation is, it cannot guarantee that when facing an enemy, one will always be on the ground. Taking to the air to dodge or attack is unavoidable. Therefore, as soon as the body takes to the air, for ordinary people, it becomes a significant weakness, because they become less agile and relatively easier to attack, and many have died in regret due to this.

  "So, for now, my basic sword skills can avoid this happening to me in advance, thus relatively reducing a weakness and increasing the possibility of winning! Heh!" Wu Yeyu continued to move his feet without stopping, jumping into the air and stepping on the long sword in his hand, while his mind was still thinking about the demonstration action, trying to better imitate the movement.

  For this, Wu Yeyu has fallen countless times in the past few days, his body aching and gasping for breath. Wen Xueyue, who was watching from the side, felt some heartache but endured it without coming to persuade him. However, with continuous practice and falling, there were still gains to be had. Wu Yeyu finally found the key and can now barely manage to kick three or four times in mid-air without falling to the ground, which is a very obvious progress.

  Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, a month and a half had passed. Wu Yeru made rapid progress during this period, not only had he fully mastered the skill of swinging his sword in mid-air, but even the difficult hovering training had reached the intermediate level, which was incredibly fast.

  Compared to them, Wen Xueyue was a bit worse off. She had just started practicing the third level and was always placing a thick layer of cushions under her as she practiced, fearing that she would fall. Wu Yeyu looked at her in dismay, thinking to himself: "Why didn't you take it out earlier? If you had taken it out earlier, I wouldn't have fallen so painfully when I was practicing ahead of you..."

  During this time, Wu Yeyu also handed over his betrothal gift, the Dingming Jing, to Old Yu. After explaining the situation, he took Wen Xueyue, who had a red face, to practice, leaving behind Old Yu, who was stunned and holding onto the Dingming Jing with both hands. As for what he was thinking in his heart at this moment, Wu Yeyu wasn't interested in knowing. It's possible that even Old Yu himself couldn't make up his mind and would have to report the matter to Little Loli's grandfather.

  "Haha! I'd like to see how the great Daxia Empire's Wen family, as the master of the house, will handle this matter~" Wu Yeyu's mouth curled up into a sly smile, which was caught by Wen Xueyue who had turned her head just in time, and she became flustered.

  Later, the team that went to the You Shou Forest for training also returned at this time. When they heard that Lao Yu was ambushed while rescuing himself, Wen Xueyue immediately expressed their anger and then thanked Wu's family for losing a piece of their mansion due to this incident, promising to help them develop well in the future.

  The tone of speech was always so high and mighty, with an air of superiority, it was clear that they looked down on the Wu family, this small rural family, thinking that the ones who came to attack were just a group of unremarkable assassins. It was only natural that the Wu family could protect Wen Xiyue, without any sincerity in their words.

  The promise of the Wen family, in Wu Ye Yu's opinion, is naturally a bunch of nonsense. They don't really care about Little Loli; they're just afraid that if Old Yu goes to rescue them and neglects Wen Xue Yue's comfort, then if something happens to Wen Xue Yue later on, the Wen family will come after them. None of them are sincere.

  "Rubbish! They're all a bunch of wolves in sheep's clothing! At their age, they still have such shameless faces, don't they have any dignity? A few of them might be able to make it big, but if not for their connections, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to participate. I suppose they're only here because they're riding on the coattails of Miss Wen's family." Wu Yeyu sat beside him, calmly observing with a cold gaze, biting into a braised goose leg, and maliciously speculated about this group of good-for-nothings.

  These people are on the same level as Wu Renjie in the past, they have some scheming minds but can't keep their cool. They're not even comparable to some rich second-generation kids from previous lives, their level is too low, let alone being figures in the officialdom, it's embarrassing to compare them.

  "Hmm, the only formidable one here is probably Wen Yutian, the eldest young lady of the Wen family. She speaks without leaking a word and her manners are also very proper, indeed a talented young lady from a noble family." Wu Yeran thought to herself.

  "It seems that she and Xiyue have a good relationship too, and her affection for the little loli is also genuine. Otherwise, why would this girl stick to her all the time..."
