Chapter 84: Wu Zongyue Borrowed Money

  When Wu Zongyue and Wu Yeyu sent Old Yu out to the reception hall, it was already a quarter of an hour later. During this time, Old Yu naturally informed Wu Yeyu in detail about the plan of the Wen family master and instructed some things that needed attention, asking him to make preparations early.

  "I'm getting old, and this time I came, how could it be so hasty? Can't you let me stay in your Wu family for a good rest? Although my humble abode is indeed simple, compared to the prosperity of Zhongzhou, it's far inferior. However, this rural area, although remote, has its advantages, the scenery is not bad, and it's very suitable for self-cultivation and nurturing one's nature. Why don't you stay for a few days, let me, Wu, fulfill my duties as a host?"

  Yeah, at least this sentence is quite hypocritical in Wu Yeru's view. They've already been sent to the door by you, and now you're saying this. Do you want these old bones to follow you back? Thinking of this, Wu Yeru turned his head to glance at Wu Zongyue beside him with a face full of reluctance, secretly scolding this guy for not speaking well...

  "Haha, no need to persuade me, thank you for the hospitality, Wu family master. Actually, my main purpose of coming here is indeed for the Wu family's matter, but also because it's a long way from here to Central State and back, so I'll take this opportunity to handle some miscellaneous tasks for the family master as well. For example, Linbo City, which is not far from Qing Shui Town, requires me to make a personal trip. Considering the time, it's a bit rushed, so I won't be able to stay here for long. Please don't mind, Wu family master and Night Rain little friend, haha."

  Lao Yu turned around and bid farewell to the two with his hands clasped together, Wu Zongyue and the other naturally wouldn't be rude, hurriedly bowing and repeatedly saying "I don't dare".

  "Look at what others say, even if it's a farewell speech, it will make you involuntarily have a good impression of them. They said that Linbo City has something going on and they can't wait to rush over, proving that they came directly to their own home first without stopping, no matter how far away they were. Have they saved face? Are the elderly kind and gentle? Did they not take the people's needle and thread for granted? In the end, they even let you remember their kindness, which is much more than your level." Wu Yeyu's mind started to wander again at this time, her phoenix eyes glanced at her old father on one side, not giving him a good face, making Wu Zongyue feel inexplicably puzzled.

  "Hmm... actually, I still have one thing that's unclear, I don't know if I should mention it or not..." The three of them walked down the mountain, with Wu Jia keeping a close eye on Old Yu to make sure he arrived safely. Meanwhile, Old Yu seemed to have thought of something and turned his head back, looking at Wu Zongyue with a suspicious expression, then glanced at Wu Yeru.

  "I'm old but I'll speak without reserve, and you can be sure that I won't hold anything back." Wu Zongyue hastily replied.

  "Hehe, it's nothing big, just a personal matter. Even if I don't answer, it doesn't matter, let's just pretend I didn't ask. Hmm, this question is about Ye Yu Xia." Old Yu slowed down his pace and walked forward slowly, asking.

  "I recall that when I left the Wu residence last time, Ye Yu Xiao's cultivation had already reached mid-level swordsmanship. Hehehe... At just 10 years old, he was able to achieve such a level of cultivation, truly a prodigy among his peers. Even compared to Miss Xi Yue, he is not one bit inferior."

  However, it has been less than three months since then, and I have come here again. But to my surprise, I can no longer judge Night Rain's current cultivation level. At first glance, Night Rain now seems just like an ordinary child, without any signs of energy or even his own aura, which is almost imperceptible. This is indeed an unthinkable thing." Old Yu said, turning his head to look at Wu Ye Yu, with a puzzled expression on his face.

  "So I want to ask, is there something wrong with your current cultivation, or have you practiced some secret technique? Of course, if it's the latter, let's just forget I asked. But if it's the former, maybe I can help in some way. After all, I still hold you in high regard, Wu Yeru." Old Yu stopped and looked at Wu Yeru with a serious expression, asking.

  As soon as they heard this, Wu Yeru and Wu Zongyue exchanged a glance. After weighing his words for a moment, Wu Yeru decided not to hide it anymore and said with a smile: "Hehehe... thank you, Old Yu, for your concern. To tell the truth, I didn't practice any secret methods or anything like that. The credit for my achievements actually goes to the Wen family."

  Lao Yu listened and became even more perplexed, thinking that this was actually related to the Wen family. He felt an itch in his heart and hastily said: "If it doesn't involve any taboos, please speak freely, little friend."

  "Alas... I have a very close relationship with Xueyue, this point you should already know."

  Lao Yu's face stiffened and he said, "Yes, I indeed know a bit."

  "On that day, after Huixue and the Wen family's talented individuals left, due to the reluctance and annoyance in his heart having nowhere to vent, he could only stay in the small courtyard, continuously practicing his fist techniques for a long time."

  ……

  "Night rain little friend continue to speak." Old Yu looked at Wu Zongyue scratching his head on one side and said.

  "When I was practicing boxing and felt exhausted, then lost strength, I just fell to the ground, my body couldn't move at all, it was already late at night." Wu Yeyu looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with memories.

  "Oh? Could it be that young friend has over-practiced his fist, resulting in some physical mishap?" Old Yu furrowed his brow, continuously stroking his beard as he asked, his eyes seriously examining Wu Ye's body.

  "Haha... This is nothing, I'm in great physical condition."

  "Hmm! That's good, that's good. Now, little friend, what's wrong with you? Don't be coy anymore, hurry up and say it. What happened after you felt weak all over?" Old Yu thought to himself, "How can this kid be more long-winded than me, an old man? He doesn't have any of the straightforwardness of a young person."

  "And then? Then, unintentionally, I broke through the congenital boundary and my cultivation also made great progress. Because of the special congenital boundary below, it has the effect of hiding one's true self, so ordinary people can't see that my cultivation is normal too. It's just that I didn't expect even Old Yu couldn't see it, I guess I still underestimated the power of the congenital boundary!"

  Wu Yeyu finished speaking, shook his head and looked up at a 45-degree angle to gaze at the sky, but unexpectedly was dazzled by the scorching sun on that side, muttered a curse, and quickly moved away, then began to observe a floating cloud beside him.

  "Cough! Cough, cough, cough...!" Old Yu was already startled by Wu YeYu's words, and his mouth was also choked with his own saliva. His fingers were trembling as he pointed at Wu YeYu, his face flushed red, but due to the incessant coughing, he couldn't speak a word. He could only look at Wu ZongYue, who was patting his back, hoping for an answer.

  Wu Zongyue apparently understood Lao Yu's meaning, so he said: "Indeed, I was also present at the time, and I saw with my own eyes how Ye Yu entered the Xiantian realm, so this matter is true, that kid didn't talk nonsense."

  ……

  After a while, Old Yu finally recovered from the coughing fit, but his speech was still somewhat labored. However, the glint in his eyes sparkled as if he had thought of something. "Could it be... that spectacular sight of stars filling the sky with radiance... was actually created by this little scamp!?"

  "Huh? Yeah, at that time, Wu Ye Yu's kid really made a big scene, the whole sky and earth were messed up by him, all turned into a silver color, it was really headache-inducing! You saw it too?" Wu Zong Yue immediately replied, turning his head to look at Wu Ye Yu, only to find this guy still looking up at the sky with an air of expectation, so he kicked him over and made him stumble.

  Wu Ye turned around, faintly forgetting Wu Zongyue's gaze, and smiled at Old Yu with a hint of mischief: "Hehehe~ That's how things are. I hope you can keep this secret for me for the time being. After all, a big tree attracts wind, and if someone with ill intentions finds out, it'll be troublesome. Of course, someone like Master Wen, who cares about us younger generations, doesn't need to be kept in the dark. It's just right that Master Wen knows too - Night Rain is indeed qualified to marry Xi Yue!"

  Old Yu let out a long sigh and slowly sat down on the stone by the side of the road, then turned to Wu Ye Yu and rolled his eyes, saying: "This matter, even if you didn't say it, I would still keep it secret, and also inform the master of the house. After all... you young man, alas! Your fate is sealed. If we had known earlier that you had already entered the Pre-Heaven Realm, why bother with this fair test selection? The master wouldn't have gone to such great lengths for this matter either. Not to mention the Wen family, even if it were my own Great Xia imperial clan, they would probably be eager to throw the princess at your Wu family too."

  After finishing, Old Yu stood up quickly and waved his hand at the two of them: "Alright, you don't need to see me off anymore. I still have to hurry back and complete the master's orders, then go back and report this matter to the master. I'm leaving!"

  Then, without waiting for the two to react, a somewhat aged figure "brushed" away in an instant and disappeared. Wu Zongyue and Wu Yeyu were stunned. Then, before the two could come back to their senses, "brushed" again, reappearing at the original location... startling the two.

  "Right, in just half a month, Linbo City's first auction, yes, that's my family's business. It seems like they'll be holding a grand auction, and at that time, there will be many rare treasures up for sale, and it's said that there will also be many slaves with exceptional abilities up for sale. Your Wu family is currently in need of recruiting new members, so you two can go take a look." As he spoke, his palm flipped over, and two black-and-gold wooden plaques appeared in his hand, which Old Yu tossed to the two of them, continuing...

  "This is the supreme card of the first auction, something that only important partners of the Wen family are qualified to have. With this card, you will also find it more convenient when entering and exiting. Alright, that's all! I'm leaving now!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and disappeared into thin air again.

  ……

  "Wow! You're right, Old Yu is really considerate, even thinking of these for us, what a good person! ” Wu Yeyu stuffed the sign into his bosom and turned around to head back the way he came.

  "Hey, hey! Slow down, kid. I've still got something to say." Wu Zongyue also came back to his senses at this time, put away the sign and turned around to chase after Wu Yeyu.

  Wu Ye looked at Wu Zongyue, who had approached him, with a tilted head, and said with a smirk: "What could you possibly have to say now? Are you going to ask me for money or something? That's the freshly handed over goods, my own hard-earned blood and sweat money from selling things."

  "Tsk! How can you talk like that, I'm doing this for your own good. Oh! You're just a young kid, running around with so much gold, what if you encounter bad people? Even if ordinary bad guys can't harm you, what if you run into unscrupulous merchants? What if you buy counterfeit products? If you get cheated and end up helping them count their money, it's not worth it. Compared to that, your old man here has some credibility, and when it comes to identifying valuable items, I have some expertise too." Wu Zongyue spoke with a thick face, his expression full of bitter concern, constantly analyzing for Wu Yeru.

  "Alright!" Wu Yeyu took one look at this situation and knew that his no-good old man was about to start nagging again. So he simply didn't wait for him to say anything, and from his bosom he pulled out a wad of gold notes. Wu Zongyue immediately shut up on the spot, and instead stared at the stack of cash with shining eyes.

  Wu Yeru roughly glanced at it, about 3 to 4 billion in denomination, and casually stuffed it into Wu Zongyue's arms, saying: "That's all! If there's more, you'll have to earn it yourself!" After finishing speaking, he walked towards the Wu family mansion without looking back.

  Wu Zongyue was counting the banknotes with a pleased expression, then stuffed them into his clothes, turned around and looked at Wu Yeru who had already walked far away, still muttering to himself.

  "Hmph! It seems this kid still has some filial piety!"
