Chapter 23
: Kill with one stick
Wu Aotian made a big splash at the appraisal center, and passed the triple test one after another and reached the fourth level. When Wu Aotian and others returned to the Wu Mansion, the news spread throughout the Wu Mansion.
The entire Wu Mansion was in unprecedented joy. Everyone knew the adventure of the Third Young Master. While everyone sighed, they also felt sincerely happy. After all, most people in the Wu Mansion had been in the Wu family for a long time. They had more or less seen Wu Aotian's loss and Wu Houde's sadness. Now they are proud, how can they be unhappy?
Wu Aotian and his son walked into the gate of the Wu Mansion and saw the butler Song De greeting him with a happy expression: "Master, two young masters, today is a good day in the Wu Mansion."
Song De, fifty-five years old, is the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion, and has strengthened himself in the fifth level. He has been in the Wu Mansion for thirty-one years. He is dedicated and loyal to the Wu family and has a deep affection for the Wu family. He also watched Wu Lingfeng and Wu Aotian grow up. Usually, the two brothers Wu Aotian and Wu Lingfeng call Uncle Song Dede to show respect. Even Wu Houde, the head of the Wu family, never regards him as the current people, but Song De himself is obeying the distinction between master and servant and never crosses the rules.
Wu Houde laughed happily: "Yes, today is a good day. Song De, today I will arrange my family dinner. I want to have a few drinks. Well, today the Wu Mansion is very happy, and everyone in the Wu Mansion will be rewarded."
Song De responded with a smile, but was quite excited. He had never seen such a sincere and happy smile on Wu Houde's face. Over the years, he must have suffered in his heart, but he never expressed any sign in front of others.
The servants or guards of the Wu Mansion around him were all very happy when they heard Wu Houde's words and hurriedly thanked Wu Houde.
Wu Houde waved his hand, and the three father and son entered the Wu Mansion. Song De quickly made arrangements. The whole Wu Mansion was full of joy and joy.
There was a table full of dishes, and there were three fathers and sons of the Wu family sitting by the table. Wu Aotian noticed that there was an empty seat next to Wu Houde, and there were bowls and chopsticks on it. He was thinking in his heart. This position was probably the one left by Wu Houde to his deceased wife, that is, Wu Aotian's mother?
Wu Aotian's mother died early due to illness, and Wu Houde never remarried. As a little powerful nobleman, it was too easy to marry a beautiful and gentle woman. What's more, many people in this world are full of wives and concubines. Wu Houde has never forgotten his deceased wife for so many years and never marry a wife again. This shows his deep affection for his wife. From this point alone, Wu Aotian has a little more respect for him.
Song De opened a jar of wine for the three fathers and sons next to him. After serving the three of them, he quietly left. He knew that there must be something between the three fathers and sons, so he should not be by the side.
Wu Houde looked at Wu Lingfeng and Wu Aotian, who were sitting on the left and right of his head, with great relief in his eyes and sighed softly: "I often dream about the arrival of such a day. Now that I have really come, I have a dream feeling..."
Looking at the empty seat, Wu Houde's eyes were filled with tenderness: "I believe your mother must have smiled and felt extremely relieved at this time."
Speaking of his deceased mother, even Wu Lingfeng's eyes were slightly rosy. He picked up the wine cup in front of him and looked up to kill him in one breath, but he didn't say anything.
Wu Aotian remained silent. Feeling this atmosphere, Wu Aotian felt a little complicated. He was alone in his previous life. Although he had a father and brothers in this life, he still had no mother. This incompleteness made him feel a little regretful, but while he was regretful, he also became more determined to protect everything he already had.
"Oh Aotian, although I don't know what adventure you have, this is a good thing after all. Although you have reached the fourth level in just one month. Regardless of whether you can become a spiritual practitioner in the future, at least you have now recovered your status as a nobleman and have a strong body, I am completely relieved."
Wu Aotian smiled and stared at Wu Houde's eyes and said softly: "Father, you have been worried about these years, but from now on, the Wu family will inevitably become prosperous."
Wu Houde laughed: "The Wu family is not prosperous. Now there are only three of us father and son. No, including Liu Ruxue, there are only four people. Although I am the head of the Wu family, I don't care whether the Wu family's family business will decline. I just hope that our Wu family can be safe, that's enough."
Wu Lingfeng clenched his fists and said fiercely: "Don't worry, Father, no one can bully our Wu family. This time, the Wanjia Qi family conspired to deal with Aotian. If it weren't for the great adventure of Aotian's fortune, I'm afraid their conspiracy will succeed, and I will not let them go!"
Wu Houde waved his hand: "This time, Wanjiaqi's family has been in a mess, and it is already embarrassing. Don't take revenge impulsively... This matter must not be finished, but we must also have a careful plan. We cannot put ourselves in because of revenge."
Wu Lingfeng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wu Houde. He turned his eyes to look at Wu Aotian and said, "You two brothers, Ling Feng is impulsive and reckless, and he is careless in his work. Aotian could not practice before and was depressed. Now Aotian seems to be reborn. If something happens, Ling Feng, don't be impulsive, listen to your brother's opinions more."
Wu Aotian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Wu Houde to say this. He raised his eyes and just bumped into Wu Houde's bright eyes. The usually warm and gentle eyes now exuded a kind of power that penetrated people's hearts.
"Aotian, although it's only one month, and you're only sixteen years old, from your recent performance, I roughly know that your adventure must be extraordinary, otherwise your personality would not have changed so much. Now, doing things is completely different from before, full of confidence and courage. Although you are your younger brother, if your brother Ling Feng is impulsive and reckless in the future, you have to stop it. Otherwise, with his personality, you will definitely suffer a lot of losses. The last time he brought people to fight with people from the Wan family in the downtown area was an example."
Wu Aotian was surprised and looked at Wu Lingfeng who was a little embarrassed and surprised at him. He didn't know why Wu Houde valued him so much, but he was right. He always felt that he had seen through some of his things.
After thinking about it, Wu Aotian nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Wu Houde took a sip of wine and stared at Wu Lingfeng: "Lingfeng, although you have reached the sixth level, if I expected it well, Aotian will quickly surpass you in cultivation. Today, at the appraisal center, Aotian passed the appraisal of the fourth level in one breath, but did not continue to appraisal. I guess Aotian should have preserved his strength..."
Wu Lingfeng widened his eyes and stared at Wu Aotian and exclaimed: "Aotian, is what my father said true? Is your strength really more than the fourth level?"
Wu Aotian was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Wu Houde could see through his hidden weaknesses and looked at Wu Lingfeng apologetically: "Yes, I did not show all my strength to complete the appraisal of the fourth level, but I didn't want to be too eye-catching, so I said that I was exhausted and stopped continuing the appraisal."
Wu Lingfeng asked in surprise and excitement: "Then what is your real strength?"
Wu Aotian shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but I guess it should be fine to complete the identification of the fifth level."
Wu Lingfeng looked at Wu Aotian with a strange look and murmured to himself: "A month of cultivation not only repaired two shrinking meridians, but also directly reached the strength of the fifth level. Aotian, are you a monster?"
Wu Aotian smiled, but did not answer. In a sense, he was really a monster, a person who did not belong to this world, and a monster with an originally huge tripod in his mind.
Suddenly remembering something, Wu Aotian turned his head and stared at Wu Houde, and asked in confusion: "Father, how do you know that I have hidden strength? Since my father can see it, I'm afraid that Long Shouhe, who is responsible for the identification, can also see it?"
Wu Houde smiled and said, "After all, we have done the appraisal, so we all know the difficulty of the appraisal. It depends on your face being red and not breathing, and you have completed it twelve times, so you should have spare energy... If I can see it all, then Long Shou and naturally can see it too."
Wu Aotian said, "Didn't the people from the Wan family and Qi family also see it?"
Wu Houde shook his head and said, "That may not be the case. Their practices are not very good. In addition, they were in their mood at that time, so I probably wouldn't have time to observe you carefully..."
Wu Aotian felt relieved and smiled and said, "That's good, I just don't want them to know my true strength."
Hearing Wu Aotian's words, Wu Houde frowned and stared at Wu Aotian with his eyes straight: "You, do you want to deal with them?"
Wu Aotian could not have thought that Wu Houde reacted so quickly, but he did not want to hide it from him in this regard: "Yes, although the Wan family and Qi family failed to deal with the Wu family this time, how could they just let it go?"
Wu Houde was surprisingly not stopping him immediately, or he was as admonished as Wu Lingfeng, but was silent for a moment: "What are your plans?"
Wu Aotian smiled and said, "The Wan family has only one descendant, and there is Wan Qing there. Wan Qing is also the only heir to the Wan family. What's more, Wan Qing loves beauty and is impatient. It's too easy to deal with him. Start with him and drag the whole Wan family into the water..."
Wu Houde looked at Wu Aotian with two surprises. Although Wu Aotian did not explain the specific operation steps, Wu Houde knew that Wu Aotian must have thought about it carefully.
"I don't object to your actions, but I hope you will discuss with me before you do it..."
