C118 (1/2)

A flush of embarrassment appeared on Wen Zhongming's face.

As the patriarch of the Wen family and the overlord of Tzu Cheng, he had actually been threatened in the face of a mere martial artist at the Body Refinement Realm. When had he ever been humiliated like this?

However, when he thought of what Gui Dehan had said, Wen Zhongming hesitated again.

Zhu Ziyang had actually become a cultivator!

No matter what, Wen Zhongming would never have thought that this morning, a servant would suddenly report to him that an old friend of his from many years ago had requested to see him. Furthermore, he had said that he was here as a messenger of Zhouzi.

When Wen Zhongming heard the report, he immediately had someone bring in Gui Dehan. What he never expected was that Gui Dehan did bring news of Zhu Ziquan, but to him, it was not good news.

According to what Gui Dehan said, Zhuangzi had actually become a cultivator. He even brought her cultivation companion to Ci City.

The most important thing was that she already knew the truth about the murder of her parents. This time, she was back for revenge!

As soon as Wen Zhongming heard this, his heart couldn't help but thump loudly. He knew that the situation wasn't good!

But as an expert, his bearing and cultivation level was enough to calm Wen Zhongming, so he did not reveal much panic.

He immediately sent someone to bring Gudeson to the other hall, and at the same time sent someone to ask him about the bamboo stick.

Not long after, the news arrived — yesterday, there were indeed people who saw two young men and women on a boat. Among them, a young girl had a picturesque appearance and looked elegant.

As for the young man, his eyebrows were slanted like swords and his eyes were like stars. He was handsome and extraordinary!

Both of them exuded a powerful aura. With a single glance, it made it so that it was almost impossible for anyone to breathe. It was as if they were being watched by a natural enemy …

Hearing this news, Wen Zhongming's heart sank. Without a doubt, these two young men and women were Zhu Zifu and her dao companion.

They were actually cultivators!

To Wen Zhongming, this news was like a thunderclap, like the weight of a mountain pressing down on his head. He knew that if he didn't handle this matter well, it was very likely that the Wen family, which had taken him many years of hard work to grow to this scale, would turn to ashes in the evening.

Facing such tremendous pressure, Wen Zhongming could only brace himself and invite Gui Dehan, whom he would never even look at, into the main hall to inquire about Gui Dehan's purpose in coming, as well as Zhu Ziyang's intentions.

However, what Wen Zhongming never expected was that Bamboo Fork actually wanted that treasure. As long as she obtained the treasure, she could let Wen Zhongming off. This request truly made Wen Zhongming angry and shocked.

He was shocked that, in less than two years' time, Zhu Zifu had actually grown to such an extent. Not only had she become a cultivator, she could even use this tone of voice to request of him.

But what made him even angrier was that Zhu Ziyang actually wanted that treasure!

Inside the jade box was a Mysterious Technique that only cultivators could practice. Only after obtaining this technique did Wen Zhongming have the goal he wanted to strive for. He wanted to become a cultivator at all times, and was looking forward to the day he could start practicing this technique!

The person who had left behind this cultivation technique was most likely a cultivator. Just think about it, how could a cultivation technique that even an expert cultivator could preserve with such care and care be simple?

But now, Zhu Ziyang was going to easily take away this cultivation technique. This was something that Wen Zhongming could not accept no matter how hard he tried.

Without this cultivation method, he had no goal to strive for. Even if he became a cultivator, if he were to practice an ordinary cultivation method, then what was the difference between his status in the mortal world and that of an ordinary martial artist?

However, facing such a blatant threat from Guidehan, Wen Zhongming hesitated for a moment.

Even a fool would know the choice between life and cultivation technique.

However, when he thought of handing over the cultivation technique …

At this moment, Wen Zhongming couldn't help but feel regret in his heart. If he wasn't too greedy and still wanted to find all the other treasures that the surnamed Zhu had hidden, he wouldn't have adopted Bamboo Forcing, and he wouldn't have suffered today's disaster!

”Raising the tiger is a source of trouble, nurturing the tiger is a source of trouble!”

Wen Zhongming roared in his heart. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water would drip out of it.

He regretted even more. Why hadn't he beheaded this despicable little fellow? If he had hacked this little fellow to death, would he have been humiliated like this today?

Seeing Wen Zhongming's gloomy expression, Gui Dehan's heart beat wildly. He was not worried that Wen Zhongming would go and confront Zhui Qiuzi. He believed that Wen Zhongming would not dare to do so, and even if he dared, he would absolutely not go and meet Zhuangzi.

What Gui Dehan was truly worried about was that Wen Zhongming would kill him in a fit of rage and then flee far away with his treasures and treasures.

As a result, he didn't say anything. Instead, he left Wen Zhongming with a 'path to survival' — handing over the treasure and leaving the matter to the bystanders.

In reality, a day ago, Guidehan was only thinking of getting some gold coins and paying off his gambling debts. At the same time, he was thinking that it would be enough for him to have some free time.

However, yesterday night, he had met Zhu Ziquan and Lin Cheng. The terrifying might exuded from the two of them had caused Gui Dehan to not be able to contain his shock, and at the same time, he realized that this might be an opportunity.

After casually asking around, Gui Dehan heard a lot of news regarding Zhu Ziyang. A year ago, he ran away from home and rejected the Wen Family's request to betroth her to Wen Zhongming's second son. And so on …
