C17 (1/2)

The sky gradually brightened as the sun rose from the east.

Wu Hao, who had cultivated for an entire night, was covered in a white mist that lingered around him and did not dissipate even after a long time.

soul consciousness looked inside his body, and then a faint smile surfaced on his face.

After a night of cultivation, not only had his original inner strength recovered, but as he had expected, his cultivation base of the Second Sky of Houtian realm had finally reached the peak. There were at least forty open meridians in his body, and they were filled with tyrannical inner strength.

Although the price of this battle was not small, the gains were not small either.

”In this way, I won't need a month to reach the Houtian third stage!” He smiled and muttered to himself.

According to this kind of breakthrough momentum, in at most ten days, he would be able to break through to the Third Sky of Nascent Level. This was a one-third reduction from the time he had expected.

The best time to train was in the morning. After he washed himself briefly, he went to the courtyard again to practice Overlord's fist and cast it at the same time. He flashed back and forth in the courtyard, causing Mu Qian and Xiao Cui to look like they were lost in thought.

Carefully observing them, they quickly discovered that Wu Hao's cultivation seemed to have improved a little.

After the hundred rounds of Overlord's fist was over, the blazing sun had already shone brightly, illuminating the mountains and rivers.

After a simple breakfast, he prepared to head out for a trip to the city, but at the same time, the courtyard was filled with servants from the Wu Clan.

They had gifts in their hands, both expensive and cheap.

These people who came with gifts in mind were all here to express their good will to Wu Hao.

Seeing their attitude that changed 180 degrees, Wu Hao did not dare to praise them, and after dealing with a few of them, he got Mu Qian and Xiao Cui to go and greet them.

Half a day later, the gifts in the center of the courtyard piled up like a mountain. Mu Qian and Xiao Cui looked at these gifts with beaming eyes and brows raised, brimming with a brilliant smile.

After staying in his own room for the entire morning, Wu Hao finally realized that no one had come to disturb him and walked out. Looking at the present in the center of the courtyard, he wasn't really that happy.

These people were all nothing more than fence-sitters. Wherever the wind blew against, they would fall to the side. In truth, there was no benefit in trying to rope them in. Eventually, their hearts would change.

However, he did not want to ruin the joy that Mu Qian and Xiao Cui had shown him. Smiling lightly at them, he sighed: ”Aiyo, you have quite a few presents too!”

”That's right!” Young Master, this time, you've really made a comeback. There's really a lot of these gifts! ” Mu Qian did not notice the sarcasm in his words, and replied with a sigh.

Xiao Cui rolled her eyes and asked: ”Young Master, there are too many gifts, how should I handle them?”

”Open it and check it. If you find anything useful, keep it. If it's useless, sell it to me. Later, completely decorate the entire courtyard!” Wu Hao looked around, and saw that the courtyard was still dilapidated, and told her this.

”Alright, young master, your servant will do as you say!”

”Yo, second young master really has a good time this time!” At this time, a teasing voice came from outside the courtyard gate. Wu Hao raised his head and saw that it was Skinny Monkey Xu Cai, whose appearance looked extremely weak.

At this moment, he had a smile on his face as his gaze moved back and forth between him and the gift.

”Deacon Xu is such a rare guest, I have never seen a single person from start to finish, I never expected that not only would I attract so many servants, even a great figure like you would come, it really makes me feel flattered!” When Wu Hao looked at him, the corners of his mouth raised up slightly as he replied with a smile that was not a smile.

”Isn't this just proof that the second young master has started to rise up!” Xu Cai also replied with a faint smile.

”Haha …”

Hearing that, Wu Hao laughed softly: ”My humble home is quite simple, I wonder if Deacon Xu will be able to enter it?”

”What nonsense is Second Young Master talking about? I, Xu Cai, have been able to enter Second Young Master's residence and have a chat with him. That is a blessing that I gained from three lifetimes of cultivation!”

”Then... ”Come in!” Wu Hao brought his to the main hall in the courtyard, at the same time, instructed his to go brew a pot of tea.

Xiao Cui looked at Xu Cai in disbelief, she never thought that even the City Lord Palace's Law Enforcement elite member Skinny Monkey Xu Cai would come and curry favor with his young master.

After hearing Wu Hao's instructions, she came back to her senses, and Mu Qian promptly reminded her: ”Xiao Cui, go and get that bag of top-quality tea that this old servant bought two days ago, and brew a pot of good tea for Young Master and Deacon Xu!”

”Alright, Elder Mu!” Xiao Cui replied and left, while Mu Qian hurried to boil some tea.

The main hall in Wu Hao's courtyard was not luxurious, and could even be considered old. However, it was very clean with Mu Qian and Xiao Cui meticulously taking care of it.

The two of them sat down in front of a tea table at the side of the hall. They looked at each other and laughed.
