Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion
Chapter 369 – My friends? You think you’re worthy of meeting them?

Chapter 369 – My friends? You think you’re worthy of meeting them?

For Meng Fan, money was merely a worldly possession, hardly worth mentioning.

In fact, not just Meng Fan, but any cultivator would think the same.

Even a single low-grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for an astonishing amount of worldly wealth.

"Senior Brother Meng, why are you up so early again? Don't you know the morning is the best time to sleep a bit more for your health?" Wu Tian rubbed his eyes, smiling wryly.

"The morning is the best time to make plans for the day, not to sleep in," Meng Fan thought but didn't bother correcting Wu Tian's skewed understanding. Instead, he said calmly, "Weren't you planning to go back to the Wu family to gather some information? You should set off early!"

This had been agreed upon earlier. Wu Tian would return to the Wu family to gather information and come back to find Meng Fan the next day.

If Wu Tian didn't return the next day, it would mean he had encountered trouble at the Wu family, possibly being imprisoned like his father.

At that point, Meng Fan would visit the Wu family himself to find Wu Tian.

Given Meng Fan's status as a direct disciple of the Sword Elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, the Wu family would have to show some respect.

Especially now, with Lin Feiyan, the granddaughter of the Sect Master of Shu Mountain, their weight carried even more significance!

The Wu family was nothing to Wu Tian now.

But he still didn't dare let Meng Fan and Lin Feiyan accompany him to the Wu family, fearing they might be met with false hospitality and hidden dangers.

So, he decided to go and scout the situation himself first!

"Alright, alright, I'm getting up," Wu Tian said reluctantly, climbing out of bed.

With Meng Fan personally coming over, he didn't have the courage to continue sleeping in.

Just as Wu Tian finished packing and was about to head to the Wu family, someone from the Wu family arrived at his inn first.

Guangde Town was the nearest town to Yuanhan Mountain.

So, it was essentially the Wu family's territory. As soon as Wu Tian arrived in Guangde Town, someone had spotted him and reported back to the Wu family.

Before Wu Tian could step out, a young woman approached him.

"Wu Tian, you're right at the doorstep of home but staying in an inn instead of visiting your elders. What do you mean by this? Disrespecting your elders?"

This woman was Wu Tian's cousin, Wu Yingying.

Wu Tian didn't have a good impression of this cousin.

She had bullied him since they were children. The Wu family favored males over females, which naturally caused some resentment among the women.

Wu Tian had grown up in the Vajra Temple and rarely returned to the Wu family, so he knew little about the internal dynamics of the family.

In short: easy to bully!

Every time Wu Tian returned home, he would be bullied by Wu Yingying and her group.

"What I do is none of your business," Wu Tian said coldly, looking at Wu Yingying with indifference.

Wu Yingying's face showed a hint of displeasure at his words.

"I'm here on the orders of the family elders. If I don't have the right to criticize you, do you plan to defy the elders too?

Now, immediately...

Get back to the Wu family and apologize to the elders."

Wu Tian was instantly furious. What had he done?

How dare she demand he apologize?

Unbelievable!

"Wu Yingying, do you still think I'm the same as when I was a child?" Wu Tian shouted angrily at Wu Yingying.

Wu Yingying was taken aback, not understanding what he meant by "when he was a child."

"What about when you were a child?" she asked instinctively.

Wu Tian glared at Wu Yingying and sneered, "When I was a child, I thought it was beneath me to fight with women, so I never hit girls!

But now it's different. I've grown thicker skin.

Man or woman, if I don't like them, I'll hit them.

Especially you, Wu Yingying. I've disliked you for a long time!"

With that, Wu Tian swung his hand.

"Smack!"

A crisp sound echoed.

The slap landed squarely on Wu Yingying's face, knocking her to the ground.

The slap was so unexpected that Wu Yingying hadn't seen it coming.

Moreover, her strength was no match for Wu Tian's, as she was only at the Heavenly Origin Realm.

So, Wu Tian's slap landed solidly!

"Wu Tian, how can you call yourself a man if you hit women?" Wu Yingying's sister, Wu Shuangshuang, shouted angrily at Wu Tian.

Without a word, Wu Tian slapped Wu Shuangshuang as well, knocking her to the ground, clutching her face in pain.

Satisfaction!

Wu Tian felt an immense sense of relief, as if every pore in his body was opening up, a satisfaction that reached his very soul.

He had fantasized about this moment for a long time but never had the chance to act on it.

These two girls had tormented him since childhood.

Every time he returned to the Wu family, they would take pleasure in bullying him, their minds twisted and dark!

Though his strength had later surpassed theirs, he had always prided himself on not hitting women, believing it to be beneath him.

But after spending a few months in the Sword Pavilion, he found his skin had thickened.

Things he couldn't do before, he now did with ease.

He attributed all this to Meng Fan, thinking Meng Fan's shamelessness had rubbed off on him.

After all, one becomes like those they associate with!

At this moment, Meng Fan, with a head full of black lines, was watching the scene from a distance.

Wu Tian hadn't even returned to the Wu family yet and had already beaten up two of their women. This...

To be honest, Meng Fan was quite impressed.

This guy!

Not bad.

"Wu Qinggang, since when did the Wu family let women take charge? Hiding behind two women without saying a word, you're a disgrace to the Wu family men!" Wu Tian looked at a young man standing behind Wu Yingying and Wu Shuangshuang.

The young man was Wu Qinggang, the youngest of the four, Wu Tian's cousin, and the brother of Wu Yingying and Wu Shuangshuang.

The Wu family's preference for males over females was no baseless claim.

Wu Shuangshuang was at the second level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Wu Yingying was at the fourth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

The youngest, Wu Qinggang, was at the seventh level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

And according to Wu Tian, Wu Qinggang's talent wasn't even as good as Wu Shuangshuang's and Wu Yingying's.

The Wu family's tradition of favoring males over females was undeniable!

This was also why Wu Tian hadn't hit Wu Qinggang after slapping Wu Yingying and Wu Shuangshuang.

Hitting Wu Yingying and Wu Shuangshuang could be explained away, testing the Wu family's reaction and determining the next steps.

But hitting Wu Qinggang would be hard to justify.

Deep down, Wu Tian was still as cowardly as ever.

"Cousin, we're all family. Why talk about fighting?

You've been wandering outside for so long, yet you don't come home but stay at an inn. The elders are indeed a bit displeased. You should go back and see them.

By the way, why not bring your two friends along?"

Wu Tian glanced coldly at Wu Qinggang, full of disdain.

"My friends? You think you're worthy of meeting them?"
