So what if they encountered a n.o.ble Lady?
Now that the n.o.ble Lady was within the Bai Clan, or even within the Bai family itself, and she possibly possessed something valuable, what of it?
Bai Ruiguang believed that he could contend for it.
However…
He refrained from expressing this aloud.
The head of the Bai family was fair. If he voiced his intentions, his other two brothers would likely have to share the spoils. But if he remained silent, all the benefits would be his alone.
Bai Ruiguang nodded. “His cultivation level may not be impressive, but his luck seems to be quite good.”
The head of the Bai family agreed with a nod.
After dividing the acquired items, he distributed them to the three brothers.
“The three of you possess formidable cultivation levels. I have given you equal shares. The outcome of the compet.i.tion will depend on your abilities,” the head of the Bai family remarked.
The three brothers collected their belongings and departed, each lost in their own thoughts.
Following the sudden commotion, silence settled upon the Bai family.
This incident could be regarded as an unexpected gain for the Bai family.
News of this development quickly reached the Wu family.
The Bai family had their reasons for accepting the Wu Brothers. After inquiring around, they discovered that Gu Chaoyan had concealed nothing.
Upon learning this, the expression of the Wu family’s head turned unpleasant.
Had they known that Wu Zimo and Wu Ziming were under the patronage of such influential figures and possessed valuable a.s.sets, the Wu family would have readily handed over the courtyard. The Wu family possessed numerous courtyards, and even if they couldn’t offer one, Teng Kai would have had alternatives.
Why was it entrusted to the Bai family?
Initially, Zidao’s cultivation level was on par with the boys from the Bai family. However, now that they had obtained such a valuable opportunity, it was likely that they would soon surpa.s.s Zidao.
How could this situation be advantageous for the Wu family?
The future of the Wu family relied heavily on Zidao’s performance in the compet.i.tion.
Feeling disheartened, the Wu family’s head called Madam Wu over. When he saw her, his anger intensified.
He berated, “What exactly were you thinking?”
“Zimo and Ziming brought someone with them. Why didn’t you inquire about the situation before chasing them away?”
“Now, the Bai family has reaped substantial benefits. If we had fought for it from the beginning, wouldn’t those Spirit Stones, pills, and magical weapons belong to our Wu family? And wouldn’t Zidao be the one we utilized?”
“I entrusted you with a task, but it seems nothing has been accomplished.” The
Wu family’s head seethed with anger. “Summon Wu Tian here.”
Although he was the head of the Wu family, he was not the biological father of Wu Zimo and Wu Ziming. They were Wu Tian’s sons. If there were any matters to be discussed, it would be more fitting for Wu Tian to address them.
Wu Tian arrived promptly.
Upon his arrival, he quickly replied, “Master, Zimo and Ziming’s decisions are their own, and they have nothing to do with me. I have no intentions of leaving the Wu family either. Regardless of what may befall them in the future, please rest a.s.sured, Master.”
Wu Tian wanted to ensure that he would not be implicated in this matter, hence his swift clarification.
The Wu family’s head seethed with fury upon seeing him.
“Bring Zimo and Ziming here and convey to them that I drove them away out of disappointment, not because I truly meant it. Tell them to return home—we are still a family!” the head commanded.
Wu Tian was taken aback.
Callingl them back?
What was happening?
Hadn’t they just cast them out earlier today?
They possessed no cultivation and were deemed useless to the Wu family. So why were they suddenly being summoned back?
Wu Tian nodded and departed.
As he left, a sudden realization struck him..
