C124 City Lord's Mansion

Wu Hui's Withered Wood Fist heavily collided with Wu Xinyuan's stonecrop.

Whoosh! As he retreated a few steps, Wu Xinyuan's face flushed red and his breathing became unstable. He looked at Wu Hui in shock, unable to understand why his Withered Wood Fist was so powerful.

Wu Hui's figure only swayed slightly, his face still smiling.

"Again!"

Withered wood was reborn, and once again rushed towards Wu Xinyuan.

The corner of Wu Xinyuan's eyebrows twitched, his face was filled with shock. When Wu Hui got close, his figure flashed, and dodged, but he did not dare to fight Wu Hui head on.

"Phew …" On the Training field, all of the disciples watching gasped for breath, looking with disdain at Wu Xinyuan who was constantly dodging. Unsatisfied voices sounded one after another.

"Ha, and it's the Earth Stage Expert, to think that they were actually chased behind by the Profound Grade."

"This Wu Xinyuan was originally so arrogant, I never thought that he would be able to restrain me. Even when we were fighting Wu Zeguo, I didn't see him in such a sorry state."

"Quick Pao, run! Wu Xinyuan, there's a big bad wolf behind you!"

Everyone burst out laughing, some of them were Wu Xinyuan's joke.

Even though Wu Xinyuan knew that the crowd's mockery did not have any malicious intent, his face still flushed red. While dodging, Wu Hui attacked and retorted at the same time: "If you're capable, you guys come and try." Wu Xinyuan's face was filled with anger, and his heart was filled with depression. The dried up wood body that was on Wu Hui's hand did not disappear. One attack after another, Wu Hui was not afraid of wasting Martial qi, as though he was practicing Withered Wood Fist, causing him to complain incessantly.

Just as Wu Xinyuan wanted to admit defeat, he knew that if this carried on, he would lose even more face. A person appeared in front of him, blocking Wu Hui's Withered Wood Fist.

"Wu Zeguo, what are you doing?" Seeing Wu Zeguo make his move, Wu Xinyuan was a little puzzled.

"You are not Wu Hui's match." Wu Zeguo said indifferently.

Wu Xinyuan's face reddened a little more, and he muttered in a low voice: "You don't need to say that."

"Then let's link hands." A glint flashed through Wu Zeguo's eyes.

"What?"

Wu Zeguo's voice was not soft, and all of the surrounding spectators heard it, their faces filled with disbelief.

In the young generation of Wu family, the first and second ranked Earth Stage Expert actually wanted to work together to deal with the Nine-star of Profound grade's Wu Hui. Even though they knew that Wu Hui was stronger than them, the scene before their eyes had exceeded everyone's expectations.

Wu Hui, who was originally somewhat suspicious of Wu Zeguo's appearance, suddenly lit up, as an excited expression rose on his delicate and pretty face.

"Alright, Big Brother Xinyuan, Big Brother Ze, you two join hands." Just now, he had met Wu Xinyuan once, and that had not satisfied Wu Hui. At this time facing the two great Earth Grade s, the fighting spirit in his heart had already been ignited.

Wu Hui was still a Withered Wood Fist, but he had changed into two hands, enveloping both Wu Xinyuan and Wu Zeguo.

A line of yellow light flashed across Wu Zeguo's fingers, and circles of yellow ripples appeared.

Wu Xinyuan also used his strongest martial skill, stonecrop, to kick towards Wu Hui.

The three exchanged blows. Wu Xinyuan and Wu Zeguo were forced to retreat three steps, while Wu Hui retreated six steps.

Wu Hui fell into a disadvantageous position. They could tell that Wu Zeguo and Wu Xinyuan had already used their full strength, and had been forced three steps back by Wu Hui. Wu Hui had only taken six steps back, and his aura was stable, so he wasn't injured in the slightest. This kind of strength was already worthy of being number one among the young generation of Wu family.

Wu Hui smiled, his eyes blazing with fire. He was very satisfied with the progress that he had made. He had reached the Nine-star of Profound grade within the Dan City and fainted for half a month. It had once again been twenty-something days since he returned to the clan, and due to the family incident, it had been nearly a month. Wu Hui still had the Nine-star of Profound grade during these two months, but his current Nine-star of Profound grade was enough to resist the joint attack of Wu Xinyuan and Wu Zeguo.

Wu Hui also knew that although the speed of his improvement was too fast, those three days were more than enough to cause three stars to be shocked than enough. During these two months, Wu Hui had constantly compressed his cultivation, making his foundation incomparably sturdy. He had indeed witnessed a miraculous effect today. Wu Hui reckoned that if he broke through to the Earth Grade realm, he would be able to fight against experts of Earth Stage Five-star with his own strength.

"Again!" Wu Hui bellowed, and was about to charge towards Wu Zeguo and Wu Xinyuan once again.

Hearing the two words "again", Wu Xinyuan's body shivered. He hadn't done anything to Wu Hui even when he and Wu Zeguo had joined hands. He could not help but lose all will to fight.

"I admit defeat!" Wu Xinyuan called out, raising his hands to surrender.

Wu Zeguo was not angry just because of Wu Xinyuan's admission of defeat. In his heart, he knew that it was not only Wu Xinyuan, even he was not Wu Hui's match.

Wu Xinyuan and Wu Zeguo were convinced.

This battle had established the name of the strongest person in Wu Hui's younger generation. This made the disciples of the Wu family realize that Wu Hui not only had an astonishing talent for pills, but also in terms of cultivation. They were no longer able to connect the Wu Hui in front of them with the lonely youth who had failed the exam half a year ago. It was really hard to predict what would happen in the world.

When the Wu family rose in power, the other small and medium-sized families all came over to befriend the Wu family. Only the City Lord's Mansion and the others remained still.

When the City Lord's Mansion and Lin Family were in a difficult situation, they did not intervene to help. This made Wu Hui extremely displeased with the two great forces. Originally, the relationship between Lin Family and him was not bad, but because of this matter, he had completely broken off. The City Lord's Mansion was an agency set up in the Xin Si City. Originally, the Wu family did not participate in the battles in the city, but since he did not help the Wu family, he ignored it.

When the Wu family was in danger, she did not help the Wu family. However, after the incident, Liu Qianqian delivered a Tier Three Healing Pill that Wu Qingfeng urgently needed, causing Wu Hui to feel slightly grateful in her heart. She took out thirty second grade pellets to exchange with the, and Liu Qianqian gave him a large number of second grade herb s to ease Wu Hui's worries. A portion of the second grade pellets refined by Wu Hui were also sent to the Treasure Pavilion for sale.

Although the Rank two pellet was used on Earth Grade and Heaven Grade, it was a cultivation resource that was needed by every family. However, the price was too expensive, and ordinary middle and small families would not be able to afford it. Most of the second-rate medicine that Wu Hui sold were distributed by Liu Qianqian outside the city.

In the family, the injured members who were previously injured during the battle with Wang Wu had already recovered, while Xiao Jiu had also awakened from her coma. Wu Hui handed over the fire repair technique to Xiao Jiu to cultivate once again, but it was difficult for Xiao Jiu to grasp and she still couldn't control the fire spirit.

The effect of the fire repair technique that Wu Hui was cultivating was not obvious. He was originally capable of refining a unique second grade pellet, and cultivating the fire repair technique not only made his own fire spirit more solid, the effect was also not too obvious. On the contrary, after Hai Qinglan cultivated the fire repair technique, he was able to refine a high grade second grade pellet. Hai Qinglan's cultivation had also risen by one star, reaching the fourth star of the Heaven Stage.

Another half a month passed by, and Wu Hui felt that his cultivation had reached its limit. Just as he was about to break through, his father called him to Wu family hall.

At this time, Wu family hall already had a few clan disciples, including Wu Zeguo, the younger generation disciple of Wu Zejun. Yet, a middle-aged man sat in the group opposite Wu Haiya.

The middle-aged man wore a grey robe, looked to be in his forties, had a white face and no beard, and had a faint smile on his face.

When Wu Hui came in, the middle-aged man dressed in grey's eyes flashed with a bright light.

"Father." After Wu Hui walked in front of his father, he saluted and stood respectfully at the side. Although his reputation had already surpassed his own father's, in front of his father, Wu Hui would not be the slightest bit presumptuous.

"Hehe, so this must be your son. He is indeed a dragon among men." The middle-aged man chuckled and a look of admiration appeared on his face.

Wu Hui's expression changed slightly, and when he turned his gaze, he already saw the emblem of a yellow city wall on the sleeve of the middle-aged man dressed in grey.

"People of the City Lord's Mansion." Wu Hui focused his gaze, and an ice-cold expression flashed across his face.

"It is my son. I wonder what business Manager Zhou has with my Wu family this time?" After chatting for a while, Wu Haiya asked with a puzzled look.

"Hehe, Patriarch Wu, I came to Wu family this time to invite you." Steward Zhou took out a red invitation card from his pocket.

"Oh?" Wu Haiya received the invitation but did not open it. He directly asked: "Manager Zhou, can you tell me directly?"

"My master's daughter, Zhou Xu, came home from training a few days ago. My master wants to hold a banquet and invite the people from Wu family to come over to support him." Manager Zhou said with a smile.

Wu Haiya opened the invitation and took a look. There was some doubt in his eyes, "Why are there only a few juniors on the list?"

Wu Hui, who was standing at the side, took a glance at the list and saw a few names. Wu Zeguo, Wu Xinyuan, Wu Hui, and even Wu Zejun.

"Haha, because Miss is not even twenty this year, the reason why Master held this banquet is to choose a son-in-law from the young talents of Xin Si City. It was also to let the young miss retract her heart and not go out to train. Master is truly worried about Miss. " After giving an explanation, Manager Zhou looked at Wu Haiya, waiting for his reply.

Marriage with the City Lord's Mansion?

Wu Haiya frowned, the power of the City Lord's Mansion relied on the imperial family, its strength was much greater than the Wu family's. If it was in the past, marrying it would only bring benefits, it would not harm him at all, but now with the two Second grade pill pharmacist of Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan, Wu family had already entered into the realm of development, there was no need for marriage anymore, but it would also not be good if he were to reject it, since City Lord's Mansion was the nominal ruler of Xin Si City after all.

"Okay, please go back and report, Manager Zhou. My Wu family's disciples will be there on time."

Wu Haiya finally decided to let the few of them attend the banquet. Wu Hui didn't want to go, but his father had already decided that he wouldn't refute his.

As the ruler of the Xin Si City, the area that the City Lord's Mansion occupied was enormous, it was more than two times bigger than the Wu family Residence. Located directly north of the city.

The City Lord's Mansion was bustling with noise and excitement today, and all the young talents of the Xin Si City were gathered in the City Lord's Mansion. Those who were invited by the City Lord's Mansion were all famous cultivating geniuses of the Xin Si City. Some small and medium-sized families only had one or two people. Wang Family was exterminated, leaving only Lin Family and Wu family among the three great families. There were five disciples of the Lin Family and four of the disciples of the Wu family.
