Chapter 563 My Other Half Is With Me

Although the three members of the Wu family were somewhat indignant at Jun's unwarranted "threat," they had to admit that what he said made sense.

Leaving aside Ye Wanxi's two little pets, the steel-toothed white rabbit that can fight the Gu King to a standstill when it gets serious, the Hou named "Charcoal Head" alone is intimidating enough.

Even if their Gu King is powerful, it's still somewhat different from the legendary ferocious beasts.

You have to understand, that's a big shot who can fight dragons. If you really get angry and provoke it, it might just swallow it whole.

Upon realizing this possibility, the three of them shuddered in unison and immediately removed Ye Wanxi from the list of candidates.

Ye Wanxi: "..." What did she do to deserve this? Being loved by the animals and forced to become the king of the beast world is not something she wanted.

After hesitating for a long time, Wu Chi still gritted his teeth and tried to take the Gu King back from Jun Wuduan: "I'm sorry, the Gu King is very important to us, and we can't agree to this."

Jun Wuduan wasn't angry. He just smiled and said, "As I said, the choice isn't in your hands. If you can persuade it to stay, I will respect its choice."

As if to corroborate Jun Wuduan's words, Tuanmi opened her mouth and threw a few ice spikes at Wu Chi, then nestled comfortably on Jun Wuduan's shoulder without moving.

The closeness and distance of the relationship are clear at a glance.

The three members of the Wu family: "..." Sigh, why is this Gu King siding with outsiders? I'm so tired!

The Wu family grandfather and grandson, who deeply suspected that their Gu King had been bewitched by these people, looked at Jun Wuduan with a gaze full of resentment and indignation, as if the other party had dug up their ancestral graves.

In fact, the nature of the matter is similar, since Jun Wuduan was indeed taking away their ancestors.

Seeing that the atmosphere among them was rather tense, Ye Wanxi quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Ahem, well... Tuan Tuan, my senior brother, and I are all old acquaintances. You all should have seen my third senior brother's character recently; he's quite reliable. Since he's willing to take Tuan Tuan out, he'll definitely bring it back safely, so you don't need to worry."

Instead of being comforted by Ye Wanxi's words, the Wu family members became even more worried.

It was precisely because of this period of time spent together that they realized more and more that none of these people in front of them were easy to deal with.

Especially this man in front of them, who always had a smile on his face, seemed gentle, but in fact, he exuded a dangerous aura from the inside out. It would be a miracle if they really trusted him!

Seeing that the others remained unmoved, Ye Wanxi tried to persuade them, "Third Senior Brother, the dough has a different meaning for them. If you just take it away like this, they will definitely be worried."

Jun Wuduan immediately understood Ye Wanxi's implication. After a moment of silence, he compromised and said, "Contact us once every two weeks to let you know its current situation."

The condition was reasonable enough. Although the Wu family members did not agree, they were no longer as opposed as before.

Ye Wanxi pressed her advantage, saying, "Well, isn't Second Young Master still here with you? You don't need to worry about us running away. At worst, you can keep him here as your son-in-law. If anything happens, you can have him contact us. We guarantee you can contact us anytime you want to see the dough."

The Wu family members: "???" Is that guy that important?

Shi Yuyan, completely unaware that she had become a bargaining chip, was speechless. "..." How can a teammate be so sabotaging?

After some haggling, the Wu family members finally compromised, realizing they couldn't fight city hall.

Just as Jun Wuduan said, to them, this Gu King held an extremely high position, and they could not and would not bear to harm it, much less restrict its freedom.

With a bittersweet feeling of his own ancestor (child) growing up and running off to someone else's pigsty, coupled with a sense of disappointment and frustration, he reluctantly agreed to Jun Wuduan's suggestion of contacting him every two weeks.

The Wu family members, who were originally grateful to Ye Wanxi and the others, are now completely preoccupied with the dilemma of how to explain the departure of the Gu King to their clansmen.

So much so that when they saw the group off, their expressions were still not very good.

Seeing this, Jun Wuduan, perhaps feeling a pang of conscience, suddenly fixed his gaze on Wu Chi and said thoughtfully, "Your flute..."

Wu Chi was startled and quickly clutched his precious jade flute, fearing that this person might be after his jade flute, just like he had been after the Gu King.

Upon hearing Jun Wudan's mention of it, Ye Wanxi was reminded of the Gu flute she had given to Senior Sister Qi Yao years ago. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she hesitated to speak.

Jun Wuduan ignored Wu Chi's guard and stared at the short flute, his eyes filled with a hint of nostalgia: "So, it was here."

"What?"

"Do you know that your flute is only half complete?"

Upon hearing Jun Wuduan's words, the expressions of the Wu family members changed again, and their gazes toward Jun Wuduan grew even colder.

"How do you know?"

The flute was indeed only half, but the cross-section was neat and there were no signs of breakage. Therefore, even the tribesmen always thought that their Gu flute originally looked like this and was different from ordinary flutes.

“How would I know? Of course, it’s because…” Jun Wuduan smiled, flipped his right hand to reveal something in his palm, “The other half is with me.”

Upon suddenly seeing the other half of the jade flute, not only the Wu family members but even Ye Wanxi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Third Senior Brother... How did the flute end up with you!"

This question also troubled the Wu family members. Grandpa Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his trembling hand pointed at Jun Wuduan: "You..."

Jun Wuduan didn't offer any further explanation, and casually tossed half of the jade flute toward Wu Chi.

Wu Chi's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to catch it.

"I'm giving it to you as compensation for taking it with you."

After saying this, Jun Wuduan ignored the stunned expressions of the Wu family members and left with Xiao Yuchan.

Ye Wanxi and the others hurriedly followed, leaving only a few members of the Wu family staring at their departing figures, speechless for a long time.

When they came to their senses, Wu Yan and Grandpa Wu immediately went to Wu Chi's side to examine the half jade flute in his hand.

"Is it really a Gu flute?"

Wu Chi didn't speak, but pursed his lips and joined the two short flutes together, making sure that the size, craftsmanship, color, and texture of the flutes were all connected.

Without a doubt, this is indeed the other half of the Gu flute that their clan lost many years ago.

"Who exactly is that man? Why is the patriarch's Gu flute in his possession?"

Grandpa Wu didn't speak, but stared in the direction where Jun Wuduan and the others had left, his expression complicated.

Wu Yan quickly noticed his unusual behavior and tentatively called out, "Dad?"

"Old friend."

"What?"

"It's an old friend." Although I didn't want to believe it, this was the only reason that could explain everything.

"When you see them in the future, remember to be respectful and not be rude."

Wu Yan was slightly taken aback: "That Gu King..."

"Since it's an old friend, I'll take good care of it."
