Nestled amidst the beautiful scenery of Linhai City, the Qi Family Compound stands serene and solemn.
Wen Yuan's car drove in smoothly, and in an instant, a deep and loving old voice pierced the air, sounding like a morning bell and evening drum: "Little Yuan Yuan, I heard you were in a shipwreck. Let Grandpa take a look and see if you are even slightly injured?"
Before the words were finished, an elderly man with snow-white hair and an old-fashioned cane came into view. He was the pillar of the Qi family, Wen Yuan's beloved maternal grandfather—Qi Yunfeng.
Wen Yuan gracefully leaped to Qi Yunfeng's side, her smile blooming like a flower: "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine. Thanks to a brave classmate, I killed those villains one by one."
After saying that, she proudly pulled Wu Tian to her side, her eyes sparkling like stars: "This is my classmate, Wu Tian. It was he who turned the tide and saved me from dire straits."
Qi Yunfeng's gaze slowly moved over Wu Tian, with a hint of approval: "You... are you Wu Tian?"
Wu Tian smiled calmly, a glint of contempt in his eyes: "That's right, I am Wu Tian, and I am the one you are going to deal with."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yunfeng laughed heartily, his laughter rippling across the lake like a spring breeze: "What a fearless young hero! Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, he still ventures into the tiger's den. What courage!"
This conversation, like a secret whisper from an ancient legend, left Wen Yuan, who was standing nearby, completely bewildered. Curious, she interjected, "Grandpa, Wu Tian, it seems like there's some secret between you two?"
Qi Yunfeng smiled without saying anything, only saying, "It's nothing, it's just that I think Wu Tian is a young talent, different from others."
"Of course!" Wen Yuan felt a warm current gently caress her heart, melting her with sweetness like honey. She proudly declared, "Otherwise, why would I have brought him back?"
Qi Yunfeng turned his gentle gaze to Wen Yuan, a mischievous smile playing on his lips: "Could it be that our little Yuan Yuan has fallen for a mortal this time?"
She is almost thirty years old, but she is still not married, and has never even been in a relationship, so her family members are very concerned about her personal life.
This time, Wen Yuan suddenly brought a man back, which is why Qi Yunfeng asked this question.
Wen Yuan's cheeks flushed crimson, like the glow of the sunset, and she quickly explained, "Grandpa, you've misunderstood. Wu Tian... he's already married."
"Oh?" A hint of relief flashed in Qi Yunfeng's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Even so, why did you bring him back?"
Wen Yuan quickly explained, "I brought him back for another important matter—not only is he exceptionally skilled in martial arts, but he is also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine. I hope he can help you, Grandpa, to improve your health and cure your chronic illness."
"I see?" Upon hearing this, Qi Yunfeng patted Wen Yuan's hand with satisfaction, his eyes full of love and praise: "Little Yuanyuan, you are becoming more and more filial. Grandpa is very happy."
He slowly turned to Wu Tian, his tone becoming more solemn and profound, as if every word carried immense weight. "I never expected that my young friend Wu Tian would possess such astonishing skills. Your presence today is truly an honor. Please, come inside and tell me more."
In the elegant reception room of the Qi family, Qi Yunfeng and Wu Tian took their seats with proper etiquette, clearly distinguishing between host and guest, creating a warm atmosphere.
Qi Yunfeng turned his gaze slightly and said softly to Wen Yuan, "Little Yuan Yuan, please go to the kitchen and tell them to add a few more dishes. We should treat this extraordinary young friend Wu Tian well."
Wen Yuan responded with a gentle smile to Wu Tian, then gracefully rose and entered the inner hall.
As Wen Yuan left, the kindness on Qi Yunfeng's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression. "Wu Tian, you and I both know that you are in a situation where you are surrounded by enemies on all sides."
Wu Tian's lips curled up slightly, a cold smile inadvertently revealed. His voice was soft, but it carried a force that could not be underestimated. "Of course I know, but I have dealt with all those who wanted to kill me."
After he finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze. Every word Wu Tian spoke was as steady as a mountain, which made even the battle-hardened Qi Yunfeng feel respect and sigh inwardly.
After a moment, Qi Yunfeng calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "I know you are very capable, but you are ultimately alone and cannot stand alone. Moreover, you are facing the Dragon Capture Hall."
"The Dragon-Capturing Hall?" Wu Tian smiled calmly, but his eyes flashed with unwavering determination and indifference. "So what? Whoever dares to invade, I will destroy them."
He paused, then adopted a more conciliatory tone, saying, "To be honest, the reason I agreed to Wen Yuan's request to visit your esteemed residence was actually to ask you some questions, sir. I hope you will answer them truthfully."
Qi Yunfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing within them, and asked softly, "What if I don't?"
Wu Tian's smile remained unchanged, but the coldness in his eyes intensified. He whispered as if a cold wind was blowing on his face, "Old Master Qi should know the reason for the Sun family's demise."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yunfeng's arm trembled slightly, his expression changed drastically, and a solemn look was evident on his face.
As one of the four major families in Linhai City, he naturally knew the reason for the Sun family's demise, which was entirely caused by this young man in front of him.
The reason why the Dragon Capture Hall gathered the three major families to fight the enemy was because of the extraordinary and terrifying skills of this young man.
If he were to ignite his anger now and challenge Wu Tian's might, he would likely repeat the mistakes of the Sun family and fall into an abyss of no return.
After careful consideration, he finally nodded slowly and asked calmly, "Alright! What do you want to know?"
Without hesitation, Wu Tian asked directly, "Mr. Qi, do you know the hidden truth behind the Wu family's downfall?"
Qi Yunfeng cast a deep gaze at Wu Tian, understanding his unwavering pursuit of the deep-seated hatred for his family's blood feud.
He sighed softly and said slowly, "I have heard a little about the massacre of the Wu family, but I don't know much about it. It is said that the news of your father obtaining the treasure was accidentally leaked, and the Sun family ordered the Qin family to exterminate him."
"Is that all?" Wu Tian pressed, his voice revealing dissatisfaction.
He had already personally investigated these matters, and Qi Yunfeng's words were meaningless to him.
Qi Yunfeng sighed again and added, "My knowledge is indeed limited to this, but the Sun family has risen to become the head of the four major families because of this. If it was not because of your father's treasure that they rose to prominence, then there must be a huge force behind them helping them."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian frowned and asked, puzzled, "What does Mr. Qi mean by this?"
Qi Yunfeng smiled slightly, his expression meaningful: "If the Sun family rises because of the treasure, then your great revenge will be fulfilled. But if it's because of the help of a powerful force behind them, then... I'm afraid there aren't many forces in the entire China that have such a grand scheme, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian felt a sudden sense of clarity, as if he had found the exit from a huge maze.
