Chapter 68 Wu Qiyi_1

Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Wu Qiyi_1

You turned your head to look at your buddy who had always understood you the best since childhoood and all of a sudden, you laughed without a care in the world.

"What are you laughing at? You gave me the creeps," Xiao Feng said, looking at you with a face full of disgust. "I’m warning you, I’ve found the love of my life and I’m done with being gay."

"Get lost."

You laughed and cursed, leaning back fully into the comfortable car seat, hands cushioning the back of your head, looking at the students coming and going and sighed, "Honestly, I never expected things to turn out this way."

"What, you regret it?"

You shook your head slightly, "Regret, not really, just a bit clueless about the path my future should take."

"Your future path is for you to walk yourself, buddy. How you walk it, and where you go, all depends entirely on your own consciousness. So stop sighing like a woman in my car."

You turned your head to look at Xiao Feng and suddenly asked, "Madman, haven’t you ever been afraid?"

"Afraid? Afraid of what?"

You thought for a moment and said, "Death, right?"

"What’s there to be afraid of in death? What’s important is how you die. You know, if it’s taking a knife for a brother, that’s a heroic death! If it’s getting angry over beauties, that’s a carefree death!" Xiao Feng leaned his head back slightly, a smile spreading naturally across his face that you had grown up seeing, "Ever since I was little, I’ve been determined to do things nobody else has done before. Man shouldn’t just live an insignificant life, like a little white-collar worker, from 9 to 5, living like a walking corpse, right?"

At this point, Xiao Feng turned his head to look at you, a puzzled look on his face, "Little Yun Yun, this isn’t like you."

You thought for a moment and smiled, "It’s just a realization. In the past, reading novels, playing games, I always thought I was the protagonist. But when it comes to real life, I realize that often I’m just a supporting character, or even an insignificant bit-part player."

"Me, an insignificant role? Then I wouldn’t even qualify as an extra," Xiao Feng’s eyes darted around, and he asked, "Tell your brother, are you having some kind of difficulty?"

"No, I just feel too weak and I’m afraid my weakness might put my friends in danger."

"What’s there to worry about? While you weren’t here, I had Glasses translate the Taixuan Sutra, which should be the legendary cultivation secret text, right? With this thing, the two of us brothers could uphold justice and righteousness. You’d be Su Ke; I’d be Beta!"

"Get lost, I’m not a rat!"

Xiao Feng chuckled, "Then you’re Jiang Xiaoyu, and I’m Hua Wuque!"

You raised an eyebrow, asked, "Why the heck are you Hua Wuque?"

"Because Brother is handsomer than you, richer than you, better at showing off than you. Most importantly, Brother is only devoted to Lele." Xiao Feng rolled his eyes, looking at you with a disdainful expression, "As for you, kid, always looking out for the next best thing. You’ve got Zhao’er on your mind, Goddess Wu wrapped around your finger, and even that adorable big-eyed, busty Xiao Panxia is not clear-cut with you; now you’ve got an ethereal beauty following you around, I’m saying, do you want to be a collector of beauties or what?"

"I’m not that sleazy," you sighed lightly, "I’ve said it before, I won’t consider relationship issues during my four years of university. Everyone around me right now is just a friend."

Xiao Feng looked at you, shrugged and smiled, "Even the Tathagata Buddha, Jade Emperor can’t predict the future, let alone you, a mere mortal. Don’t get too deeply ensnared, lest you can’t pull yourself out."

In terms of determination, you had great confidence in yourself and immediately said with a smile, "No worries, my heart will never change from beginning to end."

"Heh."

Xiao Feng shrugged and chuckled, then said, "Oh, by the way, you’ve memorized the Taixuan Sutra by now, haven’t you?"

Xiao Feng already knew about your photographic memory and you rarely kept such information from him.

Seeing you nod, Xiao Feng continued, "Then I’ll hold onto this book for now. When I get back, I’ll have to study it thoroughly."

You had no objections to that. If Xiao Feng could really settle down to practice cultivation, that would be a good thing for you as well.

Suddenly recalling something, Xiao Feng turned to you and asked, "By the way, do you know much about Goddess Wu?"

"Why the sudden question?" you wondered.

Truth be told, you knew almost nothing about Wu Qiyi. You’d just been in unrequited love throughout high school, always watching her from afar, never daring to get close.

As for Er Ya when you were little, your understanding of the world was very low back then, and being just a kid, you didn’t know much.

"Never mind then, since she hasn’t told you, I won’t say more. You can ask her yourself when you want to know in the future."

You shrugged nonchalantly and got out of the car to head back to the dorm.

And in the gap when you were chatting with Xiao Feng, Wu Qiyi had already taken a seat in an attic of the Wu Family Old House, holding a natural history book, reading with a faint grace in her expression.

Before long, a faint knock sounded from the door.

With a slight lift of the eye, Wu Qiyi lightly parted her lips and slowly said, "Come in."

The door opened, and a beautiful woman walked in, dressed in an expensive ladies’ suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and with a clean ponytail.

"Miss." The lady in the suit bowed to Wu Qiyi, her face respectful.

"How did it go, did you clear up the ins and outs of this incident?" At this moment, Wu Qiyi was completely different from the woman you usually saw. Although she still appeared serene and elegant, she carried a stern aura that made it hard for anyone to meet her gaze, forcing them to lower their heads slightly to avoid her penetrating eyes.

The suit-clad beauty nodded slightly, speaking in an unhurried tone, "It has been found that the incident was initiated by the leader of the third branch, your uncle Wu Simiao. His intention is to hold a new election for the clan leader, and currently, the most popular candidate is your father."

Wu Qiyi let out a cold snort, "It’s not that simple. The waters of the Wu Family run deep. If he were truly unassailable, he wouldn’t have been so eager to call me back."

The suit-clad beauty raised her eyes slightly and looked at Wu Qiyi, asking, "Miss, are you going to get involved in this matter?"

"Ever since that moment fifteen years ago when my mother died before my eyes, I have sworn that any trouble in the Wu Family will have nothing to do with me." As she spoke, Wu Qiyi slowly got to her feet, "Now that the incident has been clarified, there’s no need for me to stay here any longer. Let’s go."

"Yes."

Just as Wu Qiyi took a few steps, the big door in front of her was slowly pushed open, and outside stood three handsome middle-aged men, one of whom was Lin Muyang who had previously received Wu Qiyi back at the Wu Family Old House.

Lin Muyang and another middle-aged man stood slightly behind, in front of them was a tall and straight middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. In every respect—demeanor, appearance, bearing—he was perfect.

Seeing him, the usually tranquil look on Wu Qiyi’s face changed slightly, at least her eyes narrowed lightly, imitating your expression.

The middle-aged man’s voice was deep and magnetically attractive, very charming, "Little Qiyi, you won’t even say a word when you see daddy?"

Wu Qiyi smiled faintly and said, "Whatever needed to be said was said a long time ago, there’s nothing left to say now."

"Little Qiyi, why do you talk like this? No matter what, he is your biological father, without him, there would be no you!" The handsome man at Lin Muyang’s side, who bore a slight resemblance to Wu Qiyi’s father, scolded her with a reproachful tone.

Wu Qiyi ignored him, instead addressing the middle-aged man as an outsider, "Speak directly if you have something to say, if you are done, then please step aside."

The middle-aged man’s expression remained calm, as if he had long been accustomed to such confrontations with his daughter. He glanced at Lin Muyang, who opened his briefcase and took out a folder and a white jade box.

"Contained within this white jade box is a thousand year century-old agarwood pearl, which, according to Master Jueyuan, can suppress your illness." The middle-aged man had Lin Muyang hand over the items to the lady in the suit, "And this document is from the Miao Region’s Lan Family. It describes a method that should cure your disease. I’ve already started organizing an expedition team, and once spring starts tomorrow, we’ll go to Miao Region..."

"There’s no need." Wu Qiyi said coldly, "Don’t bother making the trip on my account."

"Little Qiyi, about that year’s incident..."

Impatiently, Wu Qiyi raised her hand, signaling for the middle-aged man to shut up.

"I’ll take these two items. As for the rest, I will handle it myself." Wu Qiyi glanced at the lady beside her and said to her father, "Rest assured, I will let Xi Yu represent me in full authority to help you ascend to the position of Wu clan leader, thus, fulfilling your longstanding wish."

As she spoke, Wu Qiyi walked towards Lin Muyang, who took two steps back to make way.

Wu Qiyi, expressionless, brushed past her father. Not many steps away, she heard another man speak, "Say, Little Qiyi, I heard you’ve been getting quite close with a boy named Li Muyun lately?"

Her footsteps hesitated, Wu Qiyi turned her head slightly, offering a half-faced smile that was intoxicatingly captivating, "What, Uncle, are you also planning to use such despicable tricks?"

"Look at what you are saying, your uncle is just showing concern for you. Nowadays, those young people outside have filthy ideas, not as good as our family’s. I have a distant nephew..."

Wu Qiyi did not respond to him but deliberately glanced at the lady in the suit.

The suit-clad woman nodded, addressing Wu Qiyi’s uncle Wu Simiao, "Mr. Wu, is the distant nephew you’re talking about named Lin Hao, the sole son of the chairman of Qingtian Group?"

"Oh, you know him? That’s great, it saves me the time to introduce him."

"Nonsense, sheer nonsense! Who concocted this!"

The suit-clad woman ignored Wu Simiao and continued in a tone as emotionless as a robot, "If it is him, please tell Mr. Wu to relay a message for us. If he sends flowers to Miss again and makes those nauseating courtship moves, we may have to take some extreme measures. Should it result in missing arms or broken legs, we ask for understanding in advance."
