Chapter 69: Demanding Benefits

  "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?"

  "Hmm, as for this... I might need to look around, who knows if it's available or not..." Wu Yeyu finally understood in his heart why the old ghost in front of him would chat with himself about so much nonsense without any reason. It turned out that it was all because of the young master's medicinal pill.

  "Think about it? Hmm, that's right, indeed it's good to think carefully, senior, for the sake of passing on one's legacy, you must have prepared many hidden tricks, even the miraculous elixir that can save one's life at critical moments is available, so how could senior not have thought that his future successor would be unable to cultivate due to being a bit older? ~You just said what?" Wu Zongyue said.

  “…Hmm, it seems to make some sense. I think among the things left by my senior for me, there should be this kind of elixir. Maybe I was too careless before and missed something.” Wu Yeru felt that his rhythm had been completely disrupted, how did he get entangled in this without realizing it?

  "Hmm! Of course~! The thoughts of our seniors, how can we juniors possibly compare? Alright, I'll leave the matter of getting the elixir for Third Brother to you." Wu Zongyue grasped his teacup in one hand and quickly approached Wu Yeyu, patting him on the shoulder with a confident expression that said "I have faith in you".

  "Hmm... what? I haven't..." Wu Yeyu was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Wu Zongyue.

  "I just heard that recently! When the young princess of the Wen family was still around, she would go find you to practice martial arts together every day. Haha, I didn't know your relationship had become so close." Wu Zongyue didn't give Wu Yeru a chance to refute and immediately changed the subject.

  "Ah, yes, I have a good relationship with her, probably because I saved her before... no, not that, just now..." Wu Yeyu casually explained and then wanted to continue the previous topic.

  "Oh! So that's how it was, I had forgotten. You little scoundrel actually saved the life of the young mistress of the Wen family during that assassination attempt, hehehe~ It's precisely because of this that the entire Wen family has been treating us with such courtesy, even Old Yu privately told me that when we return to the clan, he will definitely put in a good word for us. Considering the Wen family's current status in the empire, they should be able to repay us handsomely." Wu Zongyue spoke on and on, not giving Wu Yeru any chance to get a word in edgewise.

  Wu Ye didn't wait for Wu Ye to finish speaking and continued, "It's true, the young lady from the Wen family is clever and lovely, and she knows her books and is reasonable. Although she's still young now, she's already a little beauty. I'm sure she'll grow up to be an absolute stunner in the future. You probably didn't want to see such a lovely young girl fall so early, that's why you took action, right?"

  "Ah, yes, Xueyue is so lovely and has such a good relationship with me, of course I will do my best to protect her life." Wu Yeyu replied inexplicably.

  "Hmm! Is that right~! If it's like this for such a beautiful young girl, then what about one's own family? It must also be a matter of having money to spend and using one's strength to help, right?" Wu Zongyue said, pausing here for a moment. Seeing Wu Yeyu was about to explain again, he spoke up.

  "I'm really curious! You little rascal was able to evade the assassin's pursuit, it's because you had the legacy of your predecessor and also the Introspection Pill left behind by your predecessor. But how did the young lady from the Wen family manage to evade the assassin's capture? Although the young princess of the Wen family is exceptionally talented, her family must have placed great emphasis on cultivating her, but after all, she's just an 8 or 9-year-old child. I think at most, she could be a high-level swordswoman. But that assassin who came to attack us, haha, you also saw it, my Wu family's large estate was reduced to ruins overnight, ordinary people can't do such a thing, even I couldn't do it. It must have been a Sword Emperor expert."

  "So, can you tell me how that little girl managed to escape with her life under your protection?" Wu Zongyue's face was full of curiosity, but his starry eyes were flashing with a hint of pride.

  "Cough! Cough, of course it's because I gave Xueyue the precious... Introspection Dan left by my predecessor." Wu Yeyu suddenly felt a slight itch in his teeth and emphasized the word "precious" heavily, implying that his medicine was very valuable, so just be careful with it.

  "Oh~! So that's how it is, huh? Yeah, that makes sense! Being able to evade the detection of a Sword Emperor-level expert in such a disadvantageous situation can only be thanks to the precious medicinal pill left behind by my senior. Haha! Look at me, why didn't I think of this earlier?" Wu Zongyue said with a hint of regret, lightly patting his head.

  He took a sip of tea, and then continued, "Hmph! So, such precious elixir, you little scamp can actually give it to a young girl who's only known for less than a few days as protection, hehehe, truly a child with feelings and righteousness! Hmm! Not bad for my Wu Zongyue's son, a man born in this world should act upright and take care of things that need to be taken care of! You just...?" Wu Zongyue's face was full of approval, as if he was proud of his son's actions, and couldn't help but say something in the local dialect that Wu Yeru had just used.

  "Ah, this is natural." Wu Yeyu's sense of defeat at this moment can be imagined, and he helplessly lowered his head, picking up the cup next to him that only had tea leaves left, pretending to drink water to cover it up.

  Wu Zongyue saw the situation and nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself "Hmph! You dare to compete with your old man? You still have a long way to go!"

  He calmly picked up the teapot on one side, with a loving expression, took over the tea cup in Wu Yeru's hand, filled it to the brim and handed it back to Wu Yeru, saying.

  "This is great, I knew my son was a hero who stands tall and proud. Now and in the future, he definitely will be! Not only that, but also very filial! I think, Yuye, you'll also help your old man, share his worries and difficulties, won't you?" Wu Zongyue asked with a self-satisfied expression.

  After nodding at Wu Ye Yu, he felt a lot more at ease and continued: "Ah! That's right, no matter what, Ren Jie is still your third brother, your relationship is like broken bones but still connected by tendons. As long as it's within our power, we should help each other out, shouldn't we?"

  "Uh-huh." Wu Yeyu continued nodding.

  "Alright, let's just leave it at that. When you get back, take a look and see if you can find any of those Dan medicine for washing the marrow and easy delivery. That way, your third brother won't have to spend his whole life regretting this mistake." Wu Zongyue said as he sat down beside Wu Yeyu.

  Wu Yeyu saw that things were over here, and just as he was about to get up, wanting to quickly leave this place that made him feel defeated and heartbroken, the voice of his old father pierced through again.

  Wu Zongyue suddenly wrapped his arm around Wu Yeru's shoulder and pressed him back into his seat, then leaned in close and said, "Actually, there's something else I'm really curious about."

  "Hmm, it's not a big deal. Speaking of which, the Wen family, especially their little princess Wen Xiyue, although she's still young, has a deep foundation in learning. I heard... hmm, from your older sister, that she showed exceptional talent from a very young age, whether it was literature, history, or martial arts training, she could memorize and master them all with ease, and even gain her own insights from them. She's deeply favored by Old Master Wen, truly a person of broad knowledge and insight, only lacking in experience."

  Wu Zongyue's face was filled with extreme curiosity, his eyes narrowed and said: "Then you tell me, the extraordinary Miss Wen of the Wen family, how did she end up following you every day to learn some martial arts after arriving at my Wu family? Hmm, that should be swordplay, oh, and a set of movements, I heard it's quite strange."

  At this point, Wu Zongyue paused and continued: "I'm very curious, of course, just curious ~ you said that the young lady of the Wen family is actually obsessed with letting you teach her to practice martial arts for several months, and nothing else. Is it that the Wen family can't bear to let that girl practice the profound martial arts of their own family? That doesn't seem right either, after all, isn't she the little princess of the Wen family who has received all the love and attention? How could they not even be willing to teach her martial arts, don't you think it's strange?"

  Wu Ye Yu heard this and his face turned black with anger, his eyes rolling wildly as he said, "Of course it's because the technique left behind by my senior is extraordinary. Actually, at first, Xi Yue and I were practicing separately, but over time, she kept watching me practice and found that her own technique wasn't as good as mine, so she came to ask me to teach her."

  "Oh~ Such a thing has happened! Even the young princess of the Wen family is willing to let you teach her?" Wu Zongyue said, slapping his case and standing up, then speaking like he was acting in a play, waving his hands and embracing the sky, "Could it be that the skills left behind by your predecessor are really so extraordinary!? Alas! It seems that our human tribe is indeed hiding dragons and tigers. With these skills, our human tribe will surely solidify its foundation, and who knows, maybe one day we'll even expand our territory and conquer a vast land!"

  After finishing, he returned to his seat and continued to face Wu Ye Yu: "Ye Yu, I'm really curious, such a magical skill, you can take it out to teach outsiders, then as your father, do I have the honor of taking a look?" After speaking, he looked at Wu Ye Yu with an expectant face, his eyes shining like spotlights, staring straight at Wu Ye Yu without letting go.

  Wu Yeyu wiped his face, then reached into his own bosom and pulled out a secret book. On the blue hardcover, two bold characters were written: "Secret Book"!

  "This secret manual is called 'Basic Muscle Mastery', it's a special manual that teaches people to master their own body, after learning it, not only can you skillfully control all the muscles on your body, making your body extremely flexible, but also in the process of practicing, you can indirectly achieve the effect of washing your bones and marrow. If you want to use it as a foundation, it's absolutely the best choice. Hmm, that sword technique is not convenient to take out, if you want to learn it, I'll have to teach you personally."

  Wu Yeru threw the secret book to Wu Zongyue, whose eyes were shining brightly, and continued: "However, in a few more days we will be going to the demon beast forest, I suppose there won't be much time to teach you during this period." After finishing speaking, Wu Yeru stood up and walked towards the door.

  Wu Zongyue saw his son was about to leave and hastily said, "Wait a minute! I still have something to say!"

  Who would have thought that Wu Ye Yu didn't even listen, and as soon as he walked out the door, he called out to the big black dog that had been waiting impatiently, then turned around a few times before disappearing into the darkness.

  "Hmph! This kid... Hmph, dare to fight with your old man? Still a bit off, hahaahaha!"
