Chapter 181: Father And Son (1/2)

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.

~Chuckle~

”Oh? That's rather surprising. I thought nothing went past your eyes and ears, 'Mayor'.” Wu Hei said, with a sarcastic tone. ”Looks like your influence has fallen, such that even outsiders from a sect can go behind you and buy property here.”

An irritated expression appeared on Wu Hei's father upon hearing his words.

”I've been busy lately, there are far too many things to handle lately. You would know this if you ever came and saw, but here you are spending your life in reading and more reading. At least your brother went and joined the kingdom's army; that is a thing of prestige. If you want to be a scholar, go and join the Royal Court, at least that way you would make use of your worthless life.” Wu Xun said trying to insult, but elicited no reaction out of Wu Hei.

Wu Hei kept the same straight expression and did not mind his father's words. This was not the first time he had something like this, and over the years he had become far too used to them, that at this point he was just numb.

”And, what is it that you need with these disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect?” Wu Hei questioned, completely ignoring the earlier words of Wu Xun.

~Sigh~

”I want you to keep an eye on them. Make sure they don't try anything too much. I don't want a repeat of last year again.” Wu Xun answered.
