Chapter 359 - Cheap Tricks?
Both Wu Hei and Lord Cai seemed shocked at this revelation and have not expected this. From the information that Wu Hei had told Lin Mu, he remembered that they had at least ten more days till the marriage ceremony. For some reason, they had switched back to an earlier date.
"What Elder brother? How did this happen?" Wu Hei questioned.
This matter was actually quite important to Wu Hei too, and he needed to make appropriate changes in the plans that he had made, if the ceremonies were going to be hurried up. Wu Teng sighed again before speaking.
~Sigh~
"Mother said that father deserves what has happened to him and even if he doesn’t return, we will be having the wedding. It doesn’t matter to her if he even gets punished by the king." Wu Teng stated.
"I see..." Wu Hei muttered upon hearing this.
’Looks like mother found out something as well... but what could it be? Perhaps she suspects father as well?’ Wu Hei thought to himself.
"I must congratulate on the finalization of the date then, Lord Wu Teng." Lord Cai spoke.
"Ah, yes. Thank you." Wu Teng replied before picking up another cup of wine and gulping it down.
"Now that the date of the marriage ceremony has been confirmed, when will the tournaments be starting?" Lin Mu questioned curiously.
~Tap~
Wu Teng placed the cup down and thought for a bit before answering.
"Mother said something about finishing up the smaller tournaments first and keeping the martial tournament for the very last. So I guess they will start from tomorrow afternoon. Mother is sending out the invitations as we speak right now." Wu Teng answered.
"Wait a minute, elder brother! Is that why you are here? Did you skip out on work?" Wu Hei questioned with a strong gaze.
"They should know about it by now as well. Mother should have informed the peak master and Ye Zi Jin too. But you don’t really have to think about them getting ready, they have always been ready." Wu Teng replied.
"Oh... I see." Lin Mu said before nodding his head.
Seeing that silence had descended again, Lord Cai remembered what they wanted to discuss before.
"Oh yes, Lord Mu Lin, you wanted to know about the Gu Legion," Lord Cai said.
Wu Teng’s ears perked up upon hearing about this, and he turned to look at Lord Cai.
"You know about the Gu Legion?" He questioned in a straight tone.
"Yes, elder brother. Both Lord Cai and brother Mu Lin have been offended by the Gu Legion." Wu Hei was the one that answered the question this time.
"You too? I had a conflict with them as well when I was coming to the City from the capital." Wu Teng replied.
"What? How did I not know of this?" Wu Hei questioned.
"Father didn’t inform you? I already told him a while ago and I thought he must have told you as well, that’s why I never talked about it." Wu Teng answered.
"Dammit, father!" Wu Hei silently cursed under his breath.
Wu Hei’s men had been rather concentrated around a few areas of concern recently due to which his information network had been slowed down. Otherwise, there was no chance that he would have had not known that the Teng Battalion had a conflict with them.
"What exactly happened in the conflict, tell me?" Wu Hei questioned again.
"Well, nothing too much really. A few of their men sneaked into one of the towns we were resting in and I noticed them. They were killing one of the patrons of the inn that I was staying at, and I sensed them. Regardless, they were dead soon and couldn’t even bear a couple of blows from me." Wu Teng answered.
"But how did you find out they were from the Gu Legion?" Wu Hei questioned.
"They told me themselves. Those bastards thought they could fool me with cheap tricks. Can you imagine, they called father master; hah, the audacity!"
