Chapter 262: Madness, Half Dream, Half Past
There was such a big commotion on the island, but the news only took a moment to spread outside the island.
That day, rumors were spreading all over Kongliu Island.
There are heated discussions everywhere.
"I saw with my own eyes the men from the Nine Nations charging into the island with such force! What on earth is that Sword Spirit?"
"Who knows? I've lived on Kongliu Island for decades, but I've never heard of anything like this that could shock the nine nations. The Wu family is really keeping this a secret!"
"An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. I'm afraid the Wu family won't be able to let things go peacefully this time. It's a pity that the Wu family has always been kind, and the island master is also a man who values friendship and loyalty, but in the end, the whole family ended up in such trouble. Alas."
"The most hateful thing is that ungrateful bastard Du Buqun! He has no respect for his parents and his elder brothers! If he knew how to be grateful and repay the kindness he has received, and used his extraordinary skills in medicine and poison to help the Wu family, outsiders wouldn't dare to bully the Wu family like this!"
"Why bring him up when there's nothing wrong with that? It's unlucky! You still expect someone who's been surrounded by poison and insects since childhood to have a conscience?"
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the island easily.
The people had only a vague idea of what had happened inside and could only guess.
Everyone was discussing this side, but then someone from the island rushed out first.
The person who came out was none other than the protagonist of the people's hot discussion, Wu Hetai, the owner of Kongliu Island.
Because it was a big event, he attracted the attention of everyone around him as soon as he appeared.
Wu Hetai was dressed the same as usual, except that his hair was not as smooth, he looked normal.
Seeing him leave the island without even an attendant, the braver vendors on the street started to talk to him, "Master Wu, why did you leave the island alone? Are you... okay?"
"Oh, let's go for a walk." Wu Hetai smiled and walked to the stall. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the items on the stall. They were all some common medicinal herbs that had been prepared, and some crude pills that had been refined. "How much are these for?"
"Master Wu, you want to buy these things? Thank you so much! If you want them, I can give you a discount!"
"Well, buy them back and let Du Bujin refine some pills. He is already a top-notch medicine refiner. Even ordinary medicine he makes can be sold at a high price. It won't be a loss. I want all these herbs." After saying that, Wu Hetai raised his hand to touch the purse, only to find that the purse was empty. He patted his head and looked around, "Mom, mom! Bring me the silver quickly, I want to buy herbs! Didn't we get thirty taels of silver for selling Du Bujin to Yaowang Valley before? How come there is no money? I told you that the price can be raised a little higher! There are not many families willing to sell their children to Duwang Valley to be medicine men. Even if you ask for forty or fifty taels, they will give it to you! If it only sells for thirty taels, we will still lose money!"
The vendor said, “…”
Everyone, “…”
What did the Lord of Wu Island just say?
Selling children to the Poison King Valley to work as medicine men?
Didn’t the people in the Poison King Valley take in Du Buijin as their apprentice because of his outstanding talent?
It seems that the Lord of Wu Island is no different from usual, so why would he suddenly say such words, as if he has lost his mind?
Someone with quick thinking immediately figured something out and deliberately chimed in, "Master Wu, your family isn't at a disadvantage either. Look, Du Buqin is on the rise now, isn't he? He's thriving in the Poison King Valley, and I heard he's about to take over the throne of the Poison King. In the future, your family will be able to rise to prominence too!"
Wu Hetai's face immediately darkened, his face full of indignation, "Bah! What about rising to prominence? Don't mention that shameful ugly thing to me! He has made a name for himself, but isn't our family still suffering? He can sell a bottle of good medicine for ten or twenty taels, but he only gives us three or five taels of silver for household expenses every month. We are like beggars. If it weren't for——"
"Tai'er, shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!" A stern shout came from the other end, interrupting what Wu Hetai was about to say.
Old Lady Wu's hair was slightly disheveled, she was panting, and her face looked pale and ugly.
She turned around and ordered the accompanying servants, "The master is too tired today and has started talking nonsense. Take him back and let him have a good rest!"
The servants responded, rushed forward, carried Wu Hetai and left.
"What are you doing! I'm the head of the family, and a bunch of lowly servants actually dared to attack me! Let me go!" Wu Hetai struggled desperately in the grip, his anger rising. "Mother, tell them to let me go! When did I ever say anything nonsense? If Du Buqin hadn't been so ungrateful and refused to help win over the powerful, I wouldn't have helped those people destroy the Poison King Valley! He's an ungrateful person, a worthless person who deserves to die! You said this yourself. It was you who gave me the idea to destroy the Poison King Valley and replace it. Have you forgotten?!"
Old Lady Wu was so angry that she was shaking all over. The continuous blows in the day made her want to faint. She stepped forward and slapped Wu Hetai hard, saying sinisterly and fiercely, "You are really crazy!"
As the mother and son left quickly, the farce ended quickly.
There was a brief silence around.
Everyone who was fortunate enough to see and hear it was shocked, and their expressions were extremely complicated.
Tianbao leaned on the window sill of the guest room with his hands, watching the scene quietly with a faint sarcastic smile on his lips.
The best way to clear the stigma of the drug addict is to let the instigator tell the truth himself.
There is no evidence more convincing than this.
Madness makes people half trapped in a dream and half sinking into the past, and they will never be able to understand it.
As long as Wu Hetai lives, he will keep saying these words over and over again in the future.
The Wu family's reputation will become even worse.
This is the justice they should give to Poison Grandpa.
As for Old Lady Wu, she wanted her to watch soberly as the past glory crumbled bit by bit, and suffer the torment of burning heart and bones every day.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the young man in white leaned lazily against the door and window with his arms folded, a lazy smile on his face. "So this is madness, are you satisfied?"
Tian Bao raised his fist and blew on it, "Actually, I prefer beating them up."
“…”
"It's a pity that they got the advantage. I still feel upset."
Bai Yu's smile faded and he turned and walked away.
From the back, "Don't go, let me punch you twice to vent my anger."
Bai Yu walked even faster, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, goodbye."
"Next time if you don't knock on the door, I'll really beat you up."
“…”
Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu took a long stroll around the outer island and only came back after listening to the people around them scolding the Wu family.
Let’s forget about this matter.
As for how the Nine Kingdoms will force the Wu Family to hand over the Sword Spirit, that is a matter between the Nine Kingdoms and the Wu Family, and we guys are not interested.
Sword Soul...they took it away!
Ha ha ha ha!
