Chapter 72: Correct Decision and Extinct Bloodline

”This is a good chance, but the risk is too high!”
It was not difficult to get it from Zhao Fei, but the trouble was what would happen after it was obtained and what he would face.
Here was the headquarter of the Wu Family, which was one of the wealthy families in Yunzhou. First Elder had a strong influence within the Wu family and so it would be disgraceful if his birthday present was lost at the Wu's headquarter. The Wu family would investigate it and would not let it go.
After one night of weighing, Junior Leopard made his decision.
”All right. I have just settled down in Wu Family. With what I have possessd now, I believe that I will certainly overreach Skin-Toughening Realm to Bone-Forging Realm in ten years as long as I go ahead steadily. Before that, I'd better not to be that rash.”
”Greediness is really one of people's original sins, which is so difficult to surmount. Since I have no ability to get that item, I'll not let Shi Jing drag me into this. What I can only do is to report him. It's really a pity to strike the boy with such a bright future down.”
Junior Leopard took a deep breath and after a light movement, felt the cold air on his skin. After he made his decision, he realized that he had unconsciously been drenched with a cold sweat.
By the time it was daybreak, Junior Leopard had taken a bath and changed his clothes. He then went out to find his teacher.
...
...
”What? He wants to steal First Elder Lyu's birthday present?!”
After he heard what Junior Leopard had said, Xu Yong stood up with his hands shaking. Then Xu Yong said, ”That boy is audacious to the extreme.”
After walking back and forth, he asked Junior Leopard, ”who else knows about this matter?”
”Only us two know this, unless he told someone else.”
”He's too impudent and unscrupulous at such a young age.” Xu Yong condemned, ”To think he went so far as to ask you to do such things with him? He's really a scoundrel!”
Xu Yong got even more indignant about it. He unconsciously struck the table with Internal Qi, causing the table to fly apart with a crash and the room was full of bits of wood. Junior Leopard was intimidated by his teacher.
”Teacher, what should we do?”
”It can either be serious or not. His folly was in telling you.” Xu said and looked at Junior Leopard with satisfaction, ”You're not getting involved and that's very good.”
”I dare not do that,” Junior Leopard said.
”It's no use to have such guts. He's a disciple of the First Elder. Let us go and tell him directly. He can handle this matter.”
”All right.” Junior Leopard nodded in agreement.
...
”Really?”
At the Room of Refining, within the Wu Family.
Lyu Yiyue sat on his old-fashioned wooden armchair with his eyes slightly closed and eyebrows subtly shaking. No one knew what he was thinking.
Xu Yong sat down on the foremost chair while Junior Leopard stood behind him.
”I'll deal with it. Thanks for your informing me, Elder Xu.” Lyu Yiyue said, he seemed to quickly make a decision.
”You're welcome, Elder Lyu. I should tell you and your birthday is really important.”
”Thank you, Elder Xu.” Lyu Yiyue nodded his head satisfactorily and looked at Junior Leopard, ”Your name is Zhou Bao?”
”I'm a disciple of Elder Xu, Zhou Bao, pay my respect to Elder Lyu!”
”You did better than that bastard.” Lyu Yiyue said and held his teacup.
