The Shangguan Family and the Wu Family were not that far apart, and the two families were only separated by a few hills. For Wu Tian, who had reached the intermediate level, as long as it was not the Himalayas, it would not be a problem. With a few leaps, he was already at the top of the mountain.
As he felt the gentle breeze of the mountain stream caress his body, his mood became indescribably carefree. He looked around and saw a courtyard that was no less than his own Wu Residence.
After confirming the direction, he leaped forward and quickly arrived in front of the main entrance of the Shangguan Residence.
”Sir Wu, you are finally here. Master is waiting for you in the main hall. Come with me.” Before Wu Tian arrived at the Shangguan family's gate, he heard someone calling for him. He looked over and saw a kind old man standing in front of the gate. He looked very amiable, as if he was a neighbor.
Wu Tian recognized the old man. He was the Shangguan family's butler. He did not know the specific name, but he heard the Shangguan family members call him ”Uncle Fu”. Even the Shangguan family head, Shangguan Jinghong was no exception.
”Uncle Fu, you are an elder, you can just call me Little Tian when you see me in the future.” Since even the Shangguan Family head treated him with respect, Wu Tian naturally knew that he did not want him to be as simple as he appeared to be.
Moreover, although Uncle Fu looked like an ordinary old man, he was actually a top-level expert. The last time he and Wu Hao came here, Wu Hao had said that even he was no match for this old man.
One had to know that Wu Hao was a Mid Xiantian expert and he was unable to defeat him. This meant that Uncle Fu's strength was at least at the Mid Xiantian realm, so Wu Tian naturally didn't dare to be slow.
”Young Master Wu is right, you are the son-in-law of the lord, and also my half master. How can I not respect you?” Alright, let's talk about this later. The old master is waiting for you in the hall, don't make him wait too long. ” With that, Uncle Fu led Wu Tian into the inner hall.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the main hall. Upon entering, they saw a middle-aged man sitting on top of the door. He wore a gorgeous long robe and was leisurely sipping tea at the moment. Sitting on the palm of this middle-aged man was a man who was about the same age as Wu Tian.
Wu Tian recognized these two people. The middle-aged man sitting in the seat of power was the Shangguan Family's Patriarch, Shangguan Jinghong. The young man was Shangguan Lie, who originally had an 'engagement' with Wu Tian.
When the two of them saw Wu Tian arrive, both of them smiled. Shangguan Jinghong put down his teacup and said: ”Tian'er, have you come to see Wan'er yet?”
”Uncle Shangguan, I've just arrived. I have time to see Wan'er, we'll see her after we're done discussing things later.” Wu Tian was not shy either. He came here often, and to him, this place was like his own home. As he spoke, he found a chair beside Shangguan Lie and sat down.
”That's fine too.” Shangguan Jinghong looked at Uncle Fu and said respectfully: ”Uncle Fu, there's nothing else here, you can go back to your work.”
”It's the old master.” With that, Uncle Fu left.
”Tian, if I'm not wrong, did you break through to the fourth level of the《 Heavenly Yuan Heart Technique》?” As Shangguan Jinghong spoke to here, his eyes flashed with an undetectable light.
”Haha, Uncle's insight is too good. I just broke through, I didn't expect uncle to see through it with a single glance.” Wu Tian laughed.
”Little Tian, what my father said is true. Have you really broken through to the fourth level?” Shangguan Lie asked Wu Tian, his face full of surprise.
”Hehe, I accidentally broke through.” Wu Tian scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly. However, he was still enjoying the sight of Shangguan Lie's envious expression.
”Kid, your speed is a bit too fast. I remember that you have only broken through to the third realm for a short period of time!” Shangguan Lie said with a hint of envy after giving Wu Tian a punch.
”It is indeed very fast, but because I spent so much time on the” Heavenly Yuan Heart Technique ”, I only managed to grasp two seals of the” Secret Sect's Great Palm Seal ”. That's why I got a slap from this old man.” Wu Tian said helplessly.
Hearing ”Secret Sect's Great Palm”, Shangguan Jinghong's eyes flashed again, and he said: ”Your father didn't want you to be proud, he was only at the first seal when he was your age. ”Look at Lie'er, he has only just reached the third stage of the 'Miasma Weather Technique'.”
”Dad, don't scold me. Do you think I don't want to break through quickly? But I did my best. ” Shangguan Lie said unhappily.
