Wu Estate.
Martial Hall Palace's thirteenth elder, Li Xuemeng had arrived to meet with Wu Clan's patriarch, Wu f.u.xiang.
”Town Head Wu, I've arrived at a decision on your proposal. I will be helping you with it!” Li Xuemeng said seriously.
”Oh? Why did you change your mind?” Wu f.u.xiang asked, surprised.
”Are you aware of the incidents yesterday?” Li Xuemeng asked instead of answering.
”Are you referring to Elder Zhen Peng reaching the King Realm?” Wu f.u.xiang said, a longing look on his face.
”Yes,” Li Xuemeng answered.
”How is that related to this business between us?” Wu f.u.xiang asked.
”After my explanation, you will understand,” Li Xuemeng said before telling Wu f.u.xiang everything that had happened the day before. Li Xuemeng's words sent Wu f.u.xiang into a long daze. A King Realm expert had actually bowed to an Astral Realm kid? That was simply ludicrous! But he knew Li Xuemeng would never joke around about something like this.
”I now understand why you've changed your mind. You do not want the Martial Hall Palace to lose Elder Zhen Peng, right?” Wu f.u.xiang said.
Prior to this, Wu f.u.xiang had invited Li Xuemeng to collaborate with them and kidnap Xiang Shaoyun. Li Xuemeng, however, had not immediately agreed. He only gave some noncommittal response, most likely because he had his own misgivings about it.
But now, Li Xuemeng had come to a decision. Perhaps the incident yesterday was the reason for that change of mind. But of course, there was also a possibility that there were some other factors at play.
Li Xuemeng nodded. ”Yes, but apart from that, you should be aware that I am not on friendly terms with that Zi Changhe. Otherwise, you wouldn't have looked for me in the first place.” After a slight pause, he continued, ”I have a clue as to why you want that kid, just be sure to not skimp on what you promised me when the job is done.”
”Don't worry, this old man will not go back on his words. But the kid now has Elder Zhen Peng by his side. It won't be easy to touch him anymore,” Wu f.u.xiang said.
”Well, I'll need Town Head Wu's help with that. If you can go pay Elder Zhen Peng a formal visit and distract him, I will be able to kidnap that kid,” Li Xuemeng suggested.
Wu f.u.xiang gave it some thought before saying, ”Ok. I'll pay this new King a visit today. It'll be too impolite for us Wu Clan to not do so.”
The two discussed further in detail, and Li Xuemeng left once they were done.
