C9 (1/2)

When he reached the entrance of Fulai Inn, just as he was about to step forward to inquire, a middle-aged man walked out and calmly said to him: ”Young Master Wu Er, please follow me. My family's young master has been waiting upstairs for a long time!”

Wu Hao smiled slightly, and did not reveal much of an accident, as he indifferently replied: ”Then, I'll have to trouble you to lead the way.”

On the second floor of the Fulai Inn, in a unique room, Hu Qingyang had already ordered people to prepare a sumptuous table full of dishes, waiting for Wu Hao's arrival.

In truth, he had already received the news that Wu Hao had come. In Royal City, as long as he wanted to intentionally cause trouble, there was nothing that he, the dignified Hu Family, could not host.

However, when the Wu family sent him to make a move, he only smiled and did not say a word. Only he knew what he was thinking.

The door of the private room slowly opened. Wu Hao walked in behind the middle-aged man with a faint smile on his face.

”Young Master, this Young Master Wu Er has already been brought over for you!” He cupped his hands and bowed towards Hu Qingyang as he reported respectfully.

”Un, you can leave now!” Hu Qingyang nodded to him, and then turned to look at Wu Hao.

Wu Hao stared at him but did not reply. With a dull smile, he slowly walked over and sat down opposite of him.

Hu Qingyang had been sizing him up the entire time, seeing that he did not reply, he smiled slightly, and said: ”Brother Wu, you were blind to not recognize Mount Tai yesterday, this Hu's subordinate has offended you, I hope you do not take it to heart!”

After staring at him for a while, Wu Hao laughed involuntarily, and said: ”Young Master Hu, do you think I, the dignified second master of the Wu family, is such a petty person?”

Hearing that, Hu Qingyang was startled, then he laughed involuntarily, and anxiously hid his embarrassment: ”I can see that Young Master Wu Er is not such a petty person, I thank you so much!”

”Young Master Hu didn't invite me here just to talk about this!” Wu Hao replied to him with a faint smile.

With that said, the smile on Hu Qingyang's face instantly disappeared, and changed to a look of deep meaning.

”The dignified second young master of the Wu family, someone who has endured humiliation for more than ten years and was called trash by the entire family. Now he has suddenly risen to prominence. Is this a coincidence, or …”

”Hehe, the same goes for me. Young Master Hu is also not like that. I'm afraid that the number one silkpants in Royal City is not the same in my eyes!” Wu Hao retaliated against him with a smile that was not a smile.

”Haha, you and I are truly from the same world!” Hearing that, Hu Qingyang suddenly laughed out loud.

However, after he finished laughing, his face suddenly turned cold and he said, ”But you are not very wise! Today, someone spent a huge sum of money to let me take your little life. So, how do you think I should choose? ”

Wu Hao shrugged his shoulders, picked up the chopsticks by his side, leisurely picked up a small dish and started eating.

After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Hu Qingyang, his gaze calm.

”Young master Hu is a smart man. If you want to kill me, I won't be able to get through this door. Why wait until now?”

Once he said that, Hu Qingyang looked at him with a hint of admiration, and said: ”The second young master of the Wu family is the second young master of the Wu family. For you to be able to endure until now, shows that not only is your perseverance beyond ordinary, your shrewdness is also deep, not bad not bad …”

”If Young Lord Hu wanted me to come here just to say these words, then I will leave!” Wu Hao suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and looked like he was about to leave.

”Hehe, Young Master Wu Er, wait …” Hu Qingyang suddenly extended his hand out, stopping him from leaving.

Wu Hao sat down again, but did not speak, and stared fixedly at him.

”Young Master Wu Er, since you can see what kind of person I, Hu Qingyang, am, then how could I possibly take such a huge risk and do something that would not even make up for the loss!” Hu Qingyang took the two wine cups and said with a smile as he poured.

”Come...” Today, drink for the first time between us, and I'll do it! ” He pushed one of the wine cups to Wu Hao and said.

Wu Hao did not say anything, but took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

It's over. He put down the wine cup, and his expression turned serious.

”Thank you, Young Lord Hu, for not killing me. I will remember this favor and return it to you a hundredfold!”

Hearing that, Hu Qingyang's expression turned serious, and said: ”Young Master Wu Er has misunderstood me, I have invited you here today, not to make you thank me, but to discuss a matter with you!”

”Oh!” Wu Hao was surprised for a moment, then asked with a smile: ”What for?”

Hu Qingyang looked at the smiling Wu Hao, his heart filled with suspicion. He was completely unable to discern anything from the other party's expression, and with his experience, situations like this were truly rare.

The only thing that made sense was that Wu Hao's shrewdness was deeper than his, and was so profound that it had returned to its original state.

”Young Master Wu Er, I'm afraid that you have been hiding for so many years just for the sake of being able to amaze the world half a year from now, right?” he asked.

Hearing that, Wu Hao's expression did not change, but his heart was moved.

”Oh! Could it be that Young Lord Hu is doing this as well? ” He asked back with a faint smile.

With these words, Hu Qingyang could conclude that Wu Hao had hidden himself for the sake of the Hundred Trials for so many years.

However, he was wrong. A mere mortal wanted to compete with him in scheming. That was simply nonsense.

”Young Master Wu Er, I wonder how we will team up in half a year?” His eyes revealed a look of anticipation as he asked.

”As Young Lord Hu wishes, being able to work with you is truly a blessing of three lifetimes for me …”

”Haha …” Young Master Wu Er was straightforward, come come come … Cheers for our future teamwork! ”

”Come come come, drink and eat …” You're welcome! ”
