Chapter 684: Let me tell you a story
Qingliu Mountain Villa has always been paying tribute to the Wu clan.
Moreover, they had to cooperate with whatever the Wu clan ordered. It could be said that the Wu clan was the big tree they relied on. Obeying and paying tribute would bring them benefits and protection, while the consequences of disobeying were self-evident.
The Wu clan is considered one of the most prominent clans in this region, with its patriarch and elder both being Immortal Lords, indicating a strong foundation.
But the truly important figures are the big shots behind the Wu clan.
Ghost Sword Immortal Venerable.
One of the "Thirteen Immortal Venerables" of the Little Mystic Heaven Realm, the sect leader of the Ghost Sword Sect, whose disciples have multiplied and flourished. Several generations of the Wu clan's patriarchs have cultivated in the Ghost Sword Sect, so they are also related to the Ghost Sword Sect.
Smaller forces like Qingliu Manor paid tribute to the Wu Clan, while larger forces like the Wu Clan paid tribute to a behemoth like the Ghost Sword Sect.
Although he only owned a small mountain villa for entertaining distinguished guests and could not be said to have any real power, he still had to pay every penny he was owed.
Qingliu, on the other hand, wanted to curry favor with the Ghost Sword Sect.
But not everyone is qualified to curry favor with such powerful figures; at least this little manor is completely unqualified to speak.
It is the Wu clan that has come to demand tribute, and Qingliu cannot ignore them!
"Ugh!"
Qingliu sighed inwardly.
Just when the plan was about to succeed, Wu San Gongzi suddenly appeared, which was truly regrettable.
But he dared not disobey the Wu clan.
Although Qingliu Manor had some wealth, it was far inferior to the Wu clan. Moreover...
This time, it was none other than Wu Zhu, the third young master of the Wu family!
Normally, those who come to collect tribute are either guest elders of the Wu clan or elders specifically in charge of this matter, but this time it was the clan leader's third son who came in person. This is quite unusual...
Could it be that.
It seems that the Wu clan chief intends to put his third son, who is the least capable of achieving anything, in charge of this matter from now on.
Ha, it seems he has already been abandoned. Instead of continuing to invest resources in his cultivation, he has taken over the clan affairs ahead of time. Wu Zhu will probably end up not even as good as a guest elder of the Wu clan in the future.
"Please invite him to the main hall for tea. I'll be there shortly."
Qingliu said calmly.
We can't let Wu Zhu see these four women. What if he also sees the bounty notice? Wouldn't that mean he'd have to forcibly take them from him?
First, separate him. After we've had a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, we'll make our move. Then, Qingliu will think about how to deal with the Third Young Master Wu who came to demand tribute.
"If the master has important matters to attend to, we will not disturb you any longer."
However, Bai Feier still spoke up.
The owner of Qingliu Manor suddenly became a little nervous; it seemed that the newcomer was no ordinary person...
There's no need to continue this farewell banquet.
In any case, it's all just to give Qingliu a face by providing a good reception, nothing more.
"No need, a little extra time won't make a difference."
Just as Qingliu finished speaking, another untimely voice came from the other side: "Oh dear, Master Qingliu is still entertaining guests. Please excuse the intrusion."
Upon hearing this voice, Qingliu began to curse inwardly.
That Third Young Master Wu actually came straight over!
There was nothing they could do; his subordinates couldn't stop him. He could do whatever he wanted.
Wu Zhu strode into the courtyard and saw a banquet set up under the peach tree. His playful spirit was aroused, not to mention that he was sitting and drinking with Qingliu, along with four exquisitely beautiful women, each with her own unique charm.
It's better to come early than to come by coincidence.
Wu Zhu was initially a little sullen.
He didn't time his return to the clan properly, so he couldn't brag about his harvest to his five brothers. As a result, he still had to go out and work. Anyone who wasn't annoyed by that would be a genius.
He had already visited several places and collected all the tributes offered by the people, a process that was tedious and boring.
However, Qingliu Villa looks quite interesting.
"Young Master Wu, you must be tired from your long journey. I am very grateful for your hospitality."
Qingliu wanted to crush Wu Zhu like an ant, but no matter how much he cursed him in his heart, he still had to greet him with a smile.
but.
To his surprise...
I've always heard rumors that this Third Young Master Wu hasn't even stepped onto the path to immortality, and is still lingering on the mortal path, but upon seeing this...
How did he become a Golden Immortal?
And that brown snake hanging around his neck doesn't seem like an ordinary pet either.
"It's okay, it's not far, it's not hard work, it's just boring."
Wu Zhu waved his hand and then naturally sat down at the farewell banquet. He glanced at the four women who were seated, and they were all beautiful and quite capable!
"Ladies, are you here as guests of Qingliu Manor?"
He poured himself a glass of wine and started drinking, his main point being that he was an uninvited guest.
"Yes, my name is Bai Feier. These three are my companions. And you are the third young master of the Wu clan?"
Bai Feier, who was good at chatting, stepped in.
Although she had only been in the Little Mystic Realm for two weeks, she still wanted to find out which local tyrant was in charge of her current location.
Bai Feier knew about the Wu clan and also about the six sons of the Wu clan patriarch.
But she didn't know that Qingliu Manor was also required to pay tribute to the Wu clan.
"That's right, my name is Wu Zhu."
"Whatever rumors you've heard about me before, I can assure you now, they're all null and void."
Upon hearing that the beautiful woman knew his name, Wu Zhu quickly clarified. He used to be considered the weakest among the descendants of the Wu clan, but now he was the strongest. He needed to change people's impression of him as soon as possible!
Thanks to Mr. Gu!
Seeing Wu Zhu drink the wine laced with Hunyuan San, Qingliu chuckled inwardly.
Well, now no one can steal his credit.
Once he personally kidnaps and sends these four women to the Dragon Palace, and they become his cronies, he'll never come back to this place!
So what if we poisoned this Third Young Master Wu? When he becomes a Dragon Palace retainer, and the Ancient Fallen Immortal Venerable can protect him, the Wu clan will have no chance to hold him accountable.
Now, all he needs to do is wait quietly!
“I have heard about it.”
"I heard that the third young master of the Wu clan has mediocre talent and has been unable to ascend to immortality for a long time. But now it seems that you are stronger than all of us. You must have had some extraordinary encounter?" Bai Feier asked with a smile.
"Haha! What you said is right, young lady. You did have a strange encounter, but it was too bizarre. Even if I told you, you might not believe it."
Wu Zhu spoke modestly, though everyone could tell from his tone that he practically wanted to announce to the world that he had had a miraculous encounter and turned his life around.
"Since you're already here, tell us about it."
Bai Feier also became interested. She hadn't been thinking about this before, but Wu Zhu seemed eager to tell someone about his "adventures," so she was also interested in listening. After all, interesting stories are hard to come by.
"Alright, since you're interested, I'll tell you."
Surrounded by beauties, Wu Zhu felt proud and began to recount her experiences.
"Actually, my sudden breakthrough is thanks to a mysterious Mr. Gu. I am so fortunate to have received the favor of such a master..." As a result, the four women were shocked by this first sentence!
