Chapter 151 - Wenren Wushuang (1/2)

The imperial palace's banquet hall was densely packed by people with great backgrounds. The ones qualified to attend the banquet were people who had significant strength and authority within the Celestial Sword Empire. Even the Adamantine-Rank mercenaries and some peak itinerant cultivators were invited.

Don't look down on these itinerant cultivators. Although they didn't have any solid backing, some of them were still able to cultivate towards the realm were even most of the highly talented nobles were unable to achieve.

If not for their ordinary background, they would have long since exceeded those so-called genius nobles.

A rough-looking man with average facial features glanced excitedly at the bustling entrance of the banquet hall. He was wearing a straw hat and plain and coarse clothing.

”I, Wenren Wushuang can finally step inside the imperial palace. This is the dream place of all the itinerant cultivators. I wonder why the crown prince invited some of us in this banquet? If my conjectures are correct, then it should be related to the war a few days ago.” His expression turned calm as he walked towards the entrance.

His sword qi then vanished and his excited eyes returned to normal. He fished out the invitation token given to him by one of the empire's messengers and gave it to the guard.

”Oh, I didn't know that some trash was also invited inside to join this banquet. Truly an eye-opener for me, Pu Ta” A mocking voice resounded behind Wenren Wushuang, but the latter ignored the contemptuous glances from the people around him.

”Brother, can I go inside now?” Wenren Wushuang calmly spoke towards the guard, but the latter felt a chill run down his spine after hearing the former's calm voice.

He then studied the rough and coarse-looking man in front of him.

”Ah... Of course, yo-you may go inside, Sir.” The guard hastily spoke after sensing the man's extraordinariness. For someone with ordinary background to be invited in the banquet, his strength should not be weak.

”Many thanks.” Wenren Wushuang cupped his fists.

”Halt! How dare you lowly commoner ignore the young lord, Pu Ta?!” Shouted a guard beside the haughty-looking noble wearing luxurious clothes.

After hearing the noble's name, everyone became alarmed. How could they not know the rumored unruly son of Count Pu Lutan, Pu Ta? It appears that the rumors were not exaggerated at all.

Even before entering the banquet hall, he already made such a ruckus just because an itinerant cultivator was invited to the banquet.

Pu Ta glanced condescendingly at Wenren Wushuang, his lips curved to form a disdainful smile.

Although this Pu Ta was a bully, he was also not weak and easy to knead. His strength was already at the peak of the Divine-Class level. It might not be much compared to those true geniuses, but his strength was still within the medium-rank among the younger generation of the Celestial Sword Empire. Aside from his strength, his father Pu Lutan was also an initial stage Immortal-Class level expert.

With his father and the Pu Family behind his back, Pu Ta had no need to fear anything. As long as he does not provoke the imperial family and the four dukedoms, then everything would be fine.

”How about pledging allegiance to this young lord? I promise that you will obtain riches and power. Even the Pu Family will cover your back. What do you think?” Pu Ta said conceitedly. The mocking smile on his face became even more apparent.

Wenren Wushuang really wanted to kill the bastard, but he did not want to bring calamity to himself just to quench his anger. He forcefully suppressed the fury inside his heart and turned around to look at Pu Ta's face. When he saw the latter's mocking expression, he could not help but gnash his teeth in anger.

”You are not qualified to become, my, Wenren Wushuang's master! Just because you have the Pu Family behind your back and now you dare provoke me?” He was after all a mid stage Saint-Class level. And for a Divine-Class level brat to dare act arrogantly in front of him truly touched his nerves.

Pu Ta's smiling face darkened after hearing Wenren Wushuang's words.

”What did you say?!”

Wenren Wushuang smiled faintly and said.

”You are unqualified to become my master.”

Pu Ta clenched his fists tightly and pointed his finger towards Wenren Wushuang.

”You are courting death! You are the first one to defy this young lord! Beat him up for me! Make sure he can't walk again!” Puta shouted angrily.

His subordinates immediately took action and surrounded Wenren Wushuang.
