Chapter 181 - Father And Son
The scholarly looking man named Wu Hei stared at the person in front of him for a few seconds in silence.
"Fine. What is it that you need? And don’t repeat the same thing, I know you have an excuse for coming here." Wu Hei spoke in a dismissive tone.
"Ah, look at you talking to your father like that. Your mother would be so disappointed in you." Wu Heir’s father spoke in the same teasing tone as before.
~Hmph~
"As if! Mother hates you no less than me. If it were up to her, she would have left just as elder brother did." Wu Hei spoke in a condescending tone.
Upon hearing the harsh words of Wu Hei, his father’s expression changed. It was no longer the teasing and playful one, but rather one of seriousness. The man’s entire aura had changed, if it was mellow before now it exuded power and authority.
"Alright, as you wish. I’ll just tell you what I am here for." Wu Heir’s father spoke.
"That would be for the best." Wu Hei said with a straight face without moving his eyes from his father.
"The disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect have been posted here. They will be living at a property here in the eastern district of the city." Wu Hei’s father spoke.
"Hmm..." Wu Xun responded and looked around the room before speaking, "Seems like your collection of books has only increased. Ah! If only you were better at cultivation and spent more of your effort in it than this."
While Wu Xun was looking away, a slight hint of a smirk appeared on Wu Hei’s face but quickly disappeared as soon as Wu Xun turned around.
Wu Xun’s attention was then pulled towards the letter that was kept on the desk, more accurately on the unique pattern that was drawn on to it. He unceremoniously picked up the letter from the desk, not minding any manners or privacy.
Wu Hei’s expression became tense for a moment, and he quickly snatched the letter from his hands before he could see the next page.
"You! Do not touch my things." Wu Hei responded in a cold tone that almost bordered on violent.
For a moment his scholarly and erudite aura faded and was replaced by that of power. It was almost the same as Wu Xun’s yet was different in some aspects. It was as if there was a hint of rebelliousness within it.
~Humph~
"What is this? Another one of your, random musings? Are you still looking into the old myths and lores? Grow up and give up on them. That’s all they are, ’myths’." Wu Xun spoke in a dismissive tone before leaving the office.
He soon left the manor and entered a luxurious carriage that had the crest of ’Wu Lim’ on it. The carriage swiftly left the manor, leaving a cloud of dust behind.
A serious and grim expression appeared on Wu Hei’s face as a wave of spirit qi was emanated from his body. The wave of spirit qi spread out of the manor and scanned all over the area. This was none other than Spirit sense and if one were to see the range of the spirit sense they would be shocked, for the area of the manor was more than three hundred meters.
A few seconds later the spirit sense returned to Wu Hei’s body and he opened his eyes. The second door of the office opened and in walked a man that was dressed in a dark blue robe and had a mask on his face. The masked man seemed to be tense as he came and kneeled on his left knee in front of Wu Hei.
Wu Hei did not speak anything and silently stared at the masked man. The masked man only kept on getting more and more nervous, such that his back was covered in a cold sweat. An entire minute passed by and only then did Wu Hei speak.
