Chapter 58: Enlighten with Emotion, Move with Reason

  "Wait a minute! I still have something to say, tsk tsk! Young people these days are just so reckless!"

  Wu Zongyue saw that this kid had just achieved his goal and wanted to slip away, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He thought to himself, "This is simply a classic case of 'using someone for one's own benefit and then discarding them'."

  "Huh? What's up, what's going on?" Wu Yeru turned his head around, looking at Wu Zongyue in front of him who was about to speak but hesitated, and asked curiously.

  "Come in, come in and speak slowly!" Wu Zongyue beckoned to Wu Yeru, not giving him any chance to retort, then turned around and returned to the hall, sitting down calmly and leisurely sipping his tea.

  Wu Yeru saw this and could only follow him back, after all, this person was now his father, so he had to give him some face. He immediately returned to his original position and quietly waited for Wu Zongyue to speak.

  "You little kid did a good job just now, you were actually able to hold on for several rounds under my hands without being captured. Among the younger generation, especially at your age, you can be considered a rising star, although I didn't take it very seriously." Wu Zongyue sipped his tea and rolled his eyes twice before speaking to Wu Yeyu.

  "Hmph! If you have something to say, spit it out. Save the flattery for later, I'm still waiting to return and cultivate!" Wu Ye Yu said after hearing Lao Ye's words, secretly rolling her eyes.

  "Haha, you're still young after all. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time." Wu Zongyue also felt that his previous words were just flattery, and it seemed like they should be said to him instead. He let out a slightly awkward laugh afterwards.

  "It's not a big deal that I'm keeping you here, anyway. Wu Zongyue said this and paused for a moment before continuing, "As for our family situation in the past, I suppose you've already seen it. Your older brothers are out training in martial arts and can't come home easily. Your sister married into the wealthy Wen family, but as a concubine... Alas! Your mother passed away early, and your stepmother followed soon after. Now our Wu family is really sparse, with only a few people left at home. Hehe, even eating meals feels desolate."

  Wu Zongyue smiled wistfully at this point.

  "Alright, I won't beat around the bush with you either. Your third brother Wu Renjie is a good-for-nothing, usually catching chickens and walking dogs, deceiving birds and cheating people, he's proficient in all sorts of things, hasn't he caused me a lot of trouble? The good reputation of our Wu family has also been ruined by him quite a bit. And usually, shouldn't you have offended him too?" Wu Zongyue said this, looking at Wu Yeyu with a strange expression, wondering how this kid had such great skills, and if he hadn't secretly investigated the aura around him before, knowing that this was indeed his own son, he might have really thought that the person in front of him was someone else.

  Wu Ye's heart felt a bit unnatural, but his face didn't show it. "Haha, that rice bucket was able to bully me before because I was at a critical moment in my cultivation, and the inheritance is special. This technique is also special, and within a certain period of time, I couldn't move my martial arts, or else all my previous efforts would be wasted. If it's severe, it could even affect my future cultivation. That's why that guy was able to temporarily get away with it. But if he comes looking for trouble again in the future... Heh heh! I'm actually quite looking forward to it."

  Wu Yeyu finished speaking, and her slender small hands suddenly turned into claws, which slowly clenched up, with a ferocious expression on her face.

  "Haha, okay, okay, I know you're powerful now, and I also know that with Renjie's abilities, it's likely that there won't be any chance for a comeback in this lifetime." Wu Zongyue smiled as he looked at Wu Yeyu in front of him. Although he knew that this kid must have accidentally obtained some sort of inheritance, the human race had countless sages and saints, so their cultivation methods were naturally diverse and unpredictable. As for what specific inheritance it was, even a Sword King-level expert like himself couldn't guess, so he didn't think too much about it.

  Wu Yeyu saw that the cheap old man didn't show any suspicious signs, so he was relieved in his heart. Then, he put on a smug expression as if to say "you know what's good for you", which made Wu Zongyue, who was sitting in the main seat, want to slap him to death.

  "Cough, cough! Ah, this matter is naturally Rong Jie's fault, but it's also my responsibility for spoiling him and letting him develop the habit of being a troublemaker. However... speaking of which, didn't you later make a comeback and beat him up so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for three days? I suppose most of your anger has been vented, right?" Wu Zongyue said this as he glanced at Wu Yeru, seeing the young man's expression of not being able to deny it, and his concerns were alleviated.

  "Although, Ren Jie used to bully you in the past, but you also got back at him, so I'd say you two are even now. Neither of you owes the other anything." Wu Zong Yue said this and then glanced secretly at Wu Ye Yu again before continuing, "As for Ren Jie's current situation, I'm sure you've seen it clearly just now, he indeed has a remorseful attitude. Ah, as the saying goes, 'a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold!' Not only that, but he's also started diligently practicing his martial arts. To be honest, as his father, my heart is still very pleased."

  "After all, who doesn't have a mistake or two, right?" Wu Zongyue turned to look at Wu Yeyu, who had a nonchalant expression on her face, and asked.

  "Ah, that makes sense, young people! They have the right to be impulsive and unreasonable, who hasn't been young before?" Wu Yeyu said matter-of-factly, while still fixing her own nails.

  "Ah... you know, of course~ he can't be compared to you, and this impulsive period seems a bit too long, it's really time to discipline him properly!" Wu Zongyue's mouth twitched, then immediately returned to normal, looking at the pretentious Wu Yeyu in front of him, with an unknown feeling in his heart, his hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly, resembling an eagle's claw, with bulging veins on top.

  "Alas! But no matter what, he is still my son, a descendant of the pure Wu family bloodline! He's also your third brother, although not born to the same mother. No matter how wrong things were before, he's still your family member, isn't that right, Ye Ru?" Wu Zongyue said, turning his head to face Wu Yeru again.

  "Yes, he is my family, no matter what's wrong, also has blood ties with me." At this time, Wu Ye Yu felt a little confused and suddenly realized that it was only now that she had realized something, and the taste in her heart was very complicated.

  "Right! Anyway, we're all family, and among family members, there should be tolerance and forgiveness!" Wu Zongyue's face flashed with a pleased expression, but it was something that Wu Yeyu would never notice. He then looked serious again, took a sip of tea, and continued.

  "Is it a family matter? I made mistakes, and as the head of the household, I also have responsibility. However, the fight between Renjie and you can be considered a sibling rivalry among children. Even though it got a bit out of hand, I, as the parent, didn't handle it well. You think so too, right? At that time, even when Renjie was bullying you, and later when you beat up Renjie, I didn't intervene, did I?"

  Wu Yeyu thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, that's indeed the case."

  "Ah, that's right! You think back, brotherly fights are nothing big, so between you and Ren Jie, there was never any deep grudge. So from now on, you two don't have to worry about each other too much." Wu Zong Yue paused for a moment, then said, "Sigh... Ren Jie, this little brat has finally grown up a bit, but it's too late! This little beast is already at this age and only now knows how to work hard in cultivation. I don't know what he was thinking back then, why was he so disobedient?"

  "Alas, it's indeed the case. It's rare for him to know his mistakes and regret them, but at this age, even if he wants to practice martial arts, I'm afraid his future achievements won't be too great." Wu Yeyu furrowed her brow, feeling a sense of empathy, thinking that if this had happened to herself, she would have been overjoyed. Fortunately, when they first arrived, Little Fatty was only 10 years old, and it's truly fortunate.

  "Hmm! Yes, this kid is indeed a bit late in practicing martial arts, but as his father, can't I think of a way? As the head of the household, one must take responsibility. Alas! Now Renjie wants to practice martial arts, although it's late, can I just sit back and watch? Wu Zongyue put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Wu Yeyu, and said, "Then I'm not doing a good job as a father! Can't even protect my own flesh and blood! Alas, it's all my fault!"

  "This can't all be blamed on you, but as a parent, you should do something." Wu Yeyu nodded and said, feeling a warmth in his heart at this time.

  "Alas... there are ways, but for me, it's really too difficult."

  "Huh? The muscles, veins and bones of the whole body have almost taken shape. Can it still be changed back at this time? Hmm..." Wu Yeyu felt a faint sense of unease in his heart at this moment, but what exactly it was, he couldn't quite say for the time being.

  "To be honest, it's also because I'm not capable as a father. If we could just get our hands on the legendary Brain Cleansing Pill, Ren Jie's situation would greatly improve, and he might even become more suitable for martial arts training than when he was younger. Of course, different people will have different effects after taking it, but no matter what, it'll definitely be better than his current state, right?"

  "Ah, that makes sense." Wu Ye Yu silently summoned the system and inputted the five words "Washing Marrow Easy Classic Dan" in the search bar. With a brush of the screen, a multitude of dan medicines similar to it appeared.

  "Hmm, one million? It's not that expensive..."

  "So, uh, I just wanted to ask, didn't you receive a legacy from a senior before? And it seems that you also obtained quite a few mysterious pills, such as the Introspection Pill. Such an amazing thing, I've never seen anything like it in my life! It seems that senior must have been for someone who's not ordinary."

  "Ah, it's really incredible..."

  "So, I was wondering if you have anything similar to this, the Washing Marrow Easy Classic Dan medicine, in your inheritance?" Wu Zongyue said, his old face scrunched up like an orange peel as he turned his head and glanced at Wu Yeyu. "Alas, your third brother's situation is truly pitiful, what could be more despairing than this in the world?"
