Chapter 60: Master Bu Huang

Upon noticing the change in the grand master’s demeanor, Xu Min was assured Master Bu Huang indeed knew his Master Wang Li. There was no hostility left in his recent acquaintances, only friendly curiosity.

Master Bu Huang did not wait for Xu Min’s answer whether he wished to tell about his master’s current lifestyle or not. Instead, he instantly started to move, and Xu Min had no other option than to follow.

He walked straight behind Bu Huang, side by side with Shui Wu, the woman who had previously tried to cause strife. Now, however, she was as docile as a kitten. Although she was calm, she walked with a haughty air around her; her nose was high in the sky.She did not look around her. Rather, her entire focus was with the master in front of her.

Xu Min, on the other hand, was observing everything he could get his eyes on. He soon discovered that anywhere this Master Bu Huang moved, others would move away, ensuring he had free passage even if the street was incredibly crowded.

“Who is this young boy?”

“Has the exalted Master Bu Huang taken on another disciple?”

“Do you think he is in trouble? Look at Miss Shui Wu’s face; she is clearly not impressed by him.”

Mumbling voices could be heard by Xu Min while they walked past the crowds. Rather than answering back or reacting to these people, Xu Min kept a smile on his face as he slowly moved forward.

They walked through the entire center of town and finally reached an area filled with beautiful mansions, guards patrolling everywhere, and beautifully dressed experts and nobles. Magnificent demonic beasts pulled ornate carriages; everywhere affluence, wealth, and beauty could be seen.

Although Master Bu Huang was not currently riding in a carriage, the pace he moved at was as swift as any carriage they had come by; both Shui Wu and Xu Min followed closely behind.

After following Bu Huang for some time, Shui Wu could not help but look at Xu Min for a swift moment. She never expected that this two-star warrior would be capable of keeping up with them at the same speed.

“Why are you so surprised Shui Wu?” she mumbled to herself, “he is an external expert. Of course,he is better at moving than us internal experts.” Although her voice was extremely low, a subtle smile appeared on Xu Min’s face. However, he just kept following behind Bu Huang not saying a word.

They finally reaching a white marble mansion. On their arrival, Bu Huang also finally slowed down.Once he appeared in front of the guards at the gate, the guards bowed deeply while calling out, “Welcome back, Patriarch!” “Welcome back, Miss Shui.”

Looking at Xu Min, the guards were clearly confused as to who this young man was.Since they did not know his name, they did nothing but nod their heads at him. They were unaware of his rank, name, and reason to be here which perturbed them.

As they entered the house, Master Bu Huang waved his hand, “Little Wu go and play but do not cause any more trouble,” he said gently. The young woman nodded her head before she turned around and left.

“You, boy, follow me to my study. I have a lot of questions I want to ask you.” the large man requested and, again, without waiting for a reply did he continue walking; Xu Min followed right behind him.

The mansion was enormous., Moving down one corridor after another, through halls and chambers, the two of them met multiple servants, maids, and guards on their way alongside young talents, older cultivators and members of the Bu family.

They had walked for around an hour before theyreached the innermost part of the mansion, which was exclusively used by the patriarch.

Bu Huang opened a door and gestured for Xu Min to enter an office-like room. The walls were filled with shelves, and on these shelves were everything from jade bottles, parchment scrolls, inscribed hides, and runes engraved on metal plates.

In the middle of the room was a large table made from a golden kind of wood, a wood called Celestial Wood. It was incredibly rare. Celestial Wood was a mutation that one out of hundred trees would undergo when turning two hundred years old.

Celestial Wood was as hard as metal and as precious as gold. It was the best material used for bows and arrows, and it was also used as City Gates for major cities. To seeBu Huang had a desk made from Celestial Wood, Xu Min could easily understand just how wealthy the man in front of him was.
