Chapter 149: Eldest Brother Like Father?
The dinner party ended in a noisy atmosphere, and Sun Yutang didn't get any benefit from Wu Yeran, who was as slippery as an eel. Every time he tried to steer the conversation towards Diming Jing, Wu would dodge it with a shameless expression, not caring whether his words were reasonable or not.
The situation is roughly like this: Sun Yutang took out evidence and said Wu Yeran had it, but Wu Yeran said that was the last one.
Sun Yutang moved him with emotion and persuaded him with reason. Wu Yeru said that was really the last one.
Sun Yutang took out all sorts of rare and precious books and said Wu Yeran had them, but Wu Yeran said that was the last one.
……
Facing Wu Yeru's thick skin, Yu Tang brother, under the gaze of everyone, in addition to trying his best to clarify the truth, also had to consider his own image, and these people were all his fellow apprentices, so it was really not easy to say anything unpleasant, in the end he was still fooled by Wu Yeru.
"Night Rain, my younger brother, we and the other nine masters of the Wu family have come to Qing Shui this time at the invitation of Ren Yu and Ren Ding. Apart from visiting the elders of the Wu family, our main purpose is still to enter the Demon Beast Forest and fight against the demon beasts to gain more practical experience for us cultivators. So we will set off soon." Before dispersing, Sun Yutang smiled and looked at Wu Ye with a smile, except that his eyes were slightly crooked, there was nothing abnormal about him.
"Since Ye Yu will be entering the Wen family's sacred ruins in a year to compete for the position of Wen family's son-in-law, it's only natural that he'll have to compare skills with me and other young talents from the Great Xia Empire. I've even heard that other empires will also participate at that time, making it a truly spectacular event. Previously, I've always heard your two older brothers say that you don't like to cultivate, haha, I wonder if Ye Yu is willing to take this opportunity to venture into the Beast Forest with me for some training?" Sun Yutang said, his eyes flashing with a hint of disdain before quickly returning to normal as he continued speaking.
"This trip can gain some experience in fighting against enemies, and also take the opportunity to exchange and learn from each other's cultivation experiences. Who knows, it may even increase our chances of winning when we go to Night Rain State later? Don't worry about safety, younger brother, this time we won't be going too deep, and since the Jiuyue Sect people can come here to train, they must have some strength, so they will definitely protect you. Are you interested?"
Sun Yutang thought to himself at this time, previously Wu Daxiong and Wu Er had mentioned that this kid was lazy and weak, never cultivating, now it seems that although his mind has increased a lot, but the aura can't be sensed from this little ghost at all. It's likely that Wu Daxiong and Wu Er wouldn't dare to deceive me either. As long as they can cheat this kid into the demon beast forest, even if they can't directly threaten him by force, there will be plenty of ways to make him obey later on.
Wu Ye's heart was like a clear mirror, and he naturally knew what Yu Tang was thinking. He thought that Wu Ye had no cultivation, and when the time came, in a dangerous place like the Beast Forest, he would use some means to make Wu Ye lose. Even if nothing else worked, he could at least give Wu Ye some permanent disability. As someone said earlier, there was also a younger brother from his family participating in the selection of the Wen family's Divine Legacy, and as long as Wu Ye showed up with some injuries, he would definitely not win in the legacy, and the Wen family would never agree to their young princess marrying a disabled person. This move was a win-win for Sun Yu Tang.
Actually, Wu Yeru thought in his heart that he had misunderstood Yu Tang's brother, and he was far from realizing what the emperor's personal statement meant to these big families. Not to mention that Yu Tang's brother himself was in a precarious situation at this time, and would not allow Wu Yeru to make any mistakes, otherwise he would really be unable to escape blame, and would inevitably be suspected by others, and might even be kicked when he was down.
Even if Sun Yutang is not here at this time, the one who comes is only a familiar September sect disciple. If Wu Yeran has an accident at this time, others will definitely suspect him and think that these people are acting under Sun's instructions. At that time, Sun Yutang would become very passive. So, at this time, Sun actually walked on thin ice. Although the bottom is not a deep abyss, it is absolutely a cesspit. Once you lose your footing and fall in, you will definitely get into trouble and avoid it.
If it's said that the person who most wants Wu Yeru to agree at this time is Sun Yutang, then the two people who least want him to agree are naturally Wu Da and Wu Er. The reason was mentioned earlier, no matter what Sun Yutang's plan is this time, in their opinion, it all belongs to snatching food from their mouths, so now Wu Da's eyes are like epilepsy, staring at Wu Yeru and trembling non-stop, unfortunately Wu Yeru didn't even glance at him.
"Alright, since there are many masters from the Jiu Yue Zong sect joining this trip, I'll tag along to gain some experience and learn from you all. Even if it's just gaining some outdoor survival skills, that would be great too. At that time, I'll have to rely on Brother Yu Tang and everyone here to take care of me. Night Rain raises his cup with a thin layer of wine to toast everyone, wishing our journey to be smooth and safe!"
At this time, Wu Yeru's table was still the center of attention in the dining hall, and almost every move was under everyone's notice. When Wu Yeru said he wanted to go through thick and thin with them, they naturally heard it too, so they all raised their glasses and toasted him, downing their drinks with a satisfied expression, and many people patted their chests to indicate that they would protect him at all costs.
As for what they were thinking in their hearts, that would have to be pondered, but according to Wu Ye Yu's analysis, at this time most of these people must have been scolding themselves for being ignorant of the heights and depths, a small number of people would also have some petty thoughts, anyway it wouldn't be any good ideas, so he didn't bother to ponder these things anymore.
Wu Da was sitting at the same table as Wu Ye Yu, and seeing that his previous eye signal had been ignored, his face suddenly turned red with anger. However, since Sun Shao was nearby, he couldn't say anything and could only vent his resentment on the dishes.
Night!
Today the starlight is not very bright, there are many clouds floating in the sky, although it does not block all the stars, but also covers more than half of the sky.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Wu Yeyu was lying in bed at this time, feeling a bit bored and recalling the events of the day. Just then, the gate of his own courtyard was actually knocked on, and since it wasn't early anymore, he didn't wait for Xiaotao to get up and open the door, so he got down himself with a flip of his body. After arriving in the courtyard, a cold smile also appeared on his face.
"So late at night, who is it that knocks on my courtyard door?" Wu Yeyu had already known who the visitor was as soon as he entered the yard, but still asked knowingly.
"It's me! Your second brother! Open the door quickly!" A deliberately lowered voice came from outside the courtyard, which was Wu Rendeng's.
"Oh, so it's 'two'! Brother, I didn't know you'd come to my place so late, is there something you want to instruct me on?"
"You open the door first! I'm not convenient to talk here." Wu Er said somewhat urgently, feeling like he was stealing from his own home.
“Creak~” The door opened with a sound, Wu Yeru's face didn't show any expression, but in his heart, he knew that this guy coming here at night wouldn't be for anything good. As soon as the door was open, Wu Er slipped out and squeezed through the gap, directly wanting to enter the house.
Wu Yeyu saw this and immediately pulled him back, saying: "Don't go in, I have a woman inside, it's not convenient. Whatever you want to say, just say it directly."
"Ah!" Wu Er's expression changed, and he was about to scold him, but then seemed to think of something and held back, forcing a difficult smile on his face. "Younger brother, you were reckless to agree with Sun Shao to go to the Beast Forest together! You don't even know any martial arts, going in there would be like throwing yourself into the tiger's den! I discussed it with Big Brother, and we think it's better if you don't go tomorrow. It's for your own safety... but fortunately, you're just a kid, so backing out at the last minute won't be a big deal!"
"Oh? Why can't I follow you to the You Shou Forest? Aren't there many powerful masters from the Jiu Yue Sect protecting us? Besides, we won't be going deep into the forest, so it should be safe, right?" Wu Ye continued, trying to see what Wu Er's intentions were.
"Hmm! Isn't it up to them to decide whether it's safe or not? If Sun Shao or someone else intentionally leaves a gap and wants to cause you trouble, can't they just say something is there when it isn't? What if they use your safety as an excuse to demand the land deed from you tomorrow? Will you give it to them or not? Hmm! You'd better come up with an excuse for me by tomorrow. If you're too embarrassed to say it yourself, then don't bother going at all. I'll get my second brother to tell them that you had a stomachache and diarrhea last night..."
Wu Yeyu almost laughed out loud in her heart, thinking that you really thought of everything, and what's with the excuse that you had diarrhea last night and couldn't come? Can this reason be any more ridiculous?
"This isn't good, I've already promised someone else, how can I go back on my word? Besides, I think Brother Yutang has a point too, it'll be a great opportunity to broaden my horizons and it'll be beneficial for me when I go to Zhongzhou in the future!" Wu Yeyu secretly covered her stomach, suppressing her laughter, and continued to tease the guy in front of her.
Wu Eryi listened and became furious in his heart, secretly thinking: "I've made it clear what I said, you little brat still dare to talk back? You really don't know what's good for you!"
"So what if you're the elder brother, it's like being a father! I said you can't go, so you can't go! You have to listen to your elder brother, got it?!"
Wu Yeyu snorted coldly in his heart, but on the surface, he looked at the pretentious goods in front of him with a playful gaze, and said in a somewhat eccentric tone: "Big brother is like a father? Ah~! Second~! Brother, your dad doesn't seem to have died yet, how can you say such things?"
