831 Vendetta (2/2)

Wang He's expression was ugly beyond compare. As he stared at Fu Yu's silhouette, his fists were clenched tightly.

All the elders in the hall lowered their heads, as though they had seen nothing. They could not afford to offend any party, so nobody dared to speak at the moment.

Even though Fu Yu was an elder of the Five Tigers Sect, she was also the wife of the young sect leader. Of course, this did not make her important enough to look down on the Sect Grand Elder. The real reason everyone was afraid of her was that she was the daughter of the Baili Sect sect leader.

Fu Yu had always had her way in the Five Tigers Sect; she was afraid of no one. She disregarded even the Five Tigers Sect sect leader. Because she had the Baili Sect supporting her, nobody could do anything to her.

Fu Yu had wanted to take Su Wan'er as her disciple because of an incident in the past. That incident was known by almost all the veterans in the Five Tigers Sect. Wan'er's father had been an elder of the Five Tigers Sect. He was talented and his cultivation had reached the level of the Qi Nucleation Realm at a young age. He had bright prospects and had the chance to become one of the candidates for the next Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elder. The young Fu Yu had fallen in love with Wan'er's father and hoped that he would marry her. However, Wan'er's father had long been in love with Wan'er's mother, so he had no interest in Fu Yu.

Fu Yu's unrequited love turned into hate. Impetuously, she married the young master of the Five Tiger Sect in a political marriage, becoming the young madam of the Five Tigers Sect.

Fu Yu was not content with simply marrying into the Five Tigers Sect. Back then, Su Rong and his wife had perished in the line of duty while carrying out a sect mission. Everyone knew that it was not an accident. Instead, it was a scheme plotted by Fu Yu.

Originally, Wan'er's parents were said to have perished in the line of duty and were considered meritorious figures in the sect. Their remaining daughter would surely be handsomely rewarded by the sect. However, Fu Yu did not spare the young Su Wan'er. After Su Rong and his wife were dead, Fu Yu falsely accused them of some charges and confiscated all their treasures. Then, she banished Wan'er, making her an outer-sect disciple.

If a few Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elders had not stopped Fu Yu, Su Wan'er would have received the death penalty.

It had been close to ten years but to everyone's surprise, Fu Yu had not let go of Su Wan'er yet.

”Elder Mei, you may take your leave with Wan'er first.” Wang He sighed softly, waving his hand and leaving the hall. That was all he could do for Wan'er. Wan'er's father was the youth that he had admired the most. He had never imagined that Su Rong would be framed by this evil woman and die tragically.

”Wan'er, follow me.” Mei Yixuan held onto Wan'er's hand, and they turned around and left the hall. She didn't look pleased. If Wan'er remained as an outer-sect disciple, she could at least live peacefully even though her life was tough. However, she had become an inner-sect disciple now. With Fu Yu's ruthlessness, she would surely pick on Wan'er.

Mei Yixuan had not expected that Wan'er could have been able to obtain a stalk of spiritual medicine, completely changing her position and fate in the sect. If Mei Yixuan could choose, she would rather Wan'er remained as an outer-sect disciple. Wan'er was considered lucky to be able to live peacefully.

If this had not been the case, Mei Yixuan would have helped Wan'er a long time ago. As long as Fu Yu was still part of the Five Tigers Sect, Wan'er should never have stood out from the rest. If Mei Yixuan had not helped Wan'er, she would have harmed Wan'er instead.

Mei Yixuan and Wan'er's mother had been best friends. Wan'er was the only child of Su Rong and his wife, so Mei Yixuan would make sure that nothing happened to Su Wan'er.

In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. Mo Wen's injuries recovered quickly. However, the Martial Arts Circle Convention was just around the corner. With his current recovery speed, he would surely not be able to recover his cultivation before the event.

In order to attend the Martial Arts Circle Convention, he needed to recover quickly. He would not be able to heal in time with common methods, so he would have to resort to using some special methods. However, the time was not yet right. He had to wait until his body was better first.

Wan'er had been gone for a few days. In the morning, she appeared in Mo Wen's wooden house again.

”Big Brother Mo, what do you know about the Huatian Palace?” Wan'er asked as soon as she walked through the door.

”Hmm, what about it?” Mo Wen asked curiously. Why did Wan'er bring up the Huatian Palace?

”Big Brother Mo, I'm now an inner-sect disciple of the Five Tigers Sect. Moreover, I have a master now. My master is planning to take me to the Huatian Palace to gain experience,” Wan'er said excitedly.

The Huatian Palace had been a legend to her. She had never come in contact with it and had never expected that she would be able to visit it one day.

Mo Wen blinked, unable to comprehend what she had just said. Visiting the Huatian Palace to gain experience?

Based on his understanding, the Huatian Palace was not a place that a person could visit as they wished. Even if one was a member of the Huatian Palace, they would need to be at least a Three-star Executor to be qualified to visit the Huatian Palace. Besides, regardless of cultivation, those who weren't Huatian Palace members would most likely not be qualified to visit the palace.

”Yes! Big Brother Mo, do you want to go? I can beg my master to bring you along.” Wan'er's eyes were twinkling. Naturally, she would not forget about Mo Wen when she got a good deal. Her master treated her well so most likely would not reject her request.

When he asked her about it in more detail, Mo Wen figured out that the Huatian Palace that Wan'er was talking about was not the Huatian Palace that he knew of. The Huatian Palace that Wan'er was talking about was merely a branch set up by the real Huatian Palace. Since the Huatian Palace managed the entire martial arts circle, they had branches everywhere.

In the Taihang Mountains, there was a Huatian Palace branch.
