The Shangguan family's mansion was very majestic, with two stone lions guarding the door. The gate was painted with vermilion lacquer, and the two handles were copper rings carved from black iron.

The servants who opened the door were all slaves.

From this point of view, the Shangguan family is known as the first family in this city, and it is not a false reputation.

"Big sister!" From a distance, the two servants saw Shangguan Yuyu.

There was confusion and wonder in their eyes.

After all, it hasn't even been a day since the eldest sister left, how come she's back so soon?

And...why is there a white-haired man next to him!

"Go and inform my father that a distinguished guest is visiting!" Shangguan Yuyu didn't explain much and went straight in with Hua Wujue.

The servant did not stop him and rushed in to inform Shangguan Tianxiong.

"Please wait for me for a moment, my benefactor. I will be back soon."

Under the strange and astonished gazes of everyone in the Shangguan family, Shangguan Yuyu respectfully led Hua Wujue into the inner hall, pulled out the best seat, asked him to sit down, and respectfully poured him a cup of tea.

"Yeah." Hua Wujue nodded, ignoring the noisy conversations and gazes around him, and drank his tea by himself.

And the other side.

Shangguan Tianxiong was also very surprised when he learned the news that his daughter had returned, especially when he learned that none of the servants had returned, he felt even more devastated.

He immediately went to find Shangguan Yuyu.

The two met in a courtyard at the back hall.

"What's going on?" Shangguan Tianxiong frowned and looked very serious.

He was sensitive to the unusual dangerous atmosphere.

"Dad!" Shangguan Yuyu's eyes were slightly red.

The grievances I suffered today turned into tears at this moment.

"Who bullied you? Was it the bastard who brought you back? Daddy is going to chop him up right now!" Shangguan Tianxiong felt so distressed that his eyes were about to spit fire.

"Dad! You must never do this!" Shangguan Yuyu quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said: "He is my benefactor!"

Shangguan Tianxiong's brows were tightly wrinkled together, almost forming a big "川" character.

"What benefactor? What is going on?

"I was attacked by bandits on the road..."

"Bandits?" Shangguan Tianxiong repeated, his eyes revealing deep confusion.

"Every one of the people I sent to you is an expert in making goods. How could they be attacked by bandits?"

"And... none of them came back. Could they have been killed by the bandits?"

"When did such a group of powerful bandits appear around here?"

To be honest, Shangguan Tianxiong was a little skeptical, but his daughter couldn't lie to him, so he couldn't help but think in a very bad direction.

"I don't know either... They are very powerful, and they have magical treasures in their hands. This is how Brother Zhang died..."

Shangguan Yuyu explained that they did have the advantage in numbers at the beginning, and even if the opponent only had a third-rank warrior, they would not be wiped out so quickly.

The main reason was that the opponent used Lingbao right at the start.

Kill the best talents in her family.

As a result, these families were unable to cope with the situation and went bankrupt in an instant.

"Lingbao?" Shangguan Tianxiong's pupils shrank.

He was well aware of the value of Lingbao.

This is definitely not something a bandit would possess.

And according to the description, this is a one-time consumable spiritual treasure.

The price is already equivalent to some good low-level spiritual treasures.

Shangguan Tianxiong completely understood at this moment that someone must be setting a trap for their Shangguan family, and it was extremely likely that they were the two city lords and the head of the Xue family.

His face darkened, but he tried hard not to lose his temper in front of his daughter.

After all, even if he gets angry, he can't change anything.

The way to seek help turned out to be so aborted.

Now he has absolutely no way out.

"Oh, forget it. Go down and have a rest." Shangguan Tianxiong's eyes showed a trace of fatigue.

Ever since the head of the Xue family was promoted to the fifth rank, the pressure on the Shangguan family has been increasing day by day.

As the head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Tianxiong's pressure is several times greater than that of others.

But he couldn't get a good sleep these days.

"Dad, you must not neglect my benefactor." Shangguan Yuyu was in no hurry to leave.

"Um?"

Shangguan Tianxiong came back to his senses, and this time he remembered this.

"I understand. I will give him a good reward." Shangguan Tianxiong said casually.

He didn't take it too seriously. His mind was now filled with the pressure from the three major forces.

How can a husband take care of a benefactor?

"Dad, my benefactor is very powerful. He only used one blow, and the third-rank bandit was directly beaten into a bloody mist." Shangguan Yuyu said.

"What did you say?"

Shangguan Tianxiong suddenly came to his senses, somewhat incredulous.

With just one strike, he actually killed a third-grade cultivator instantly?

You have to know that even though he is at the fifth rank, he cannot easily kill a third rank without using any killing moves.

According to Shangguan Yuyu, this person is likely to be a being with a higher level of cultivation than him.

This was enough to attract his attention.

Originally, he thought that the opponent would not be able to survive past the fourth rank, but now it seems that he was wrong.

"I know you want to do this, Dad." Shangguan Yuyu said with some resentment.

Fortunately, she came here specially to look for him. Otherwise, if she neglected Hua Wujue, wouldn’t she be throwing away the opportunity that she had obtained?

"Haha, Dad, you must be under a lot of pressure lately. Tell me in detail what happened after you met him."

"Well, at that time..."

The father and daughter did not waste too much time.

Shangguan Tianxiong wore formal clothes and was extremely solemn and dignified with the highest etiquette. He brought all the family members to meet Hua Wujue outside the inner hall.

"Sir!" Shangguan Tianxiong was extremely respectful.

Through his daughter's narration, he was already certain that the white-haired man in front of him was a true master, a master whose cultivation was higher than his own.

"It doesn't matter, let them all go." Hua Wujue said.

The Shangguan family's children were confused, and stood here in a daze, feeling frightened and uneasy.

"yes!"

These Shangguan family descendants fled as if they had been pardoned.

When have they ever seen such a scene since they are used to being lazy?

Only the elders from each branch of the family remain here.

"I already know what you want."

"I can help you, but I have one condition."

Hua Wujue slowly put down the teacup in his hand, speaking in a casual tone.

"Sir, just say it! As long as it is something that our Shangguan family can do, we will do our best!" Shangguan Tianxiong said excitedly.

Hua Wujue glanced at him and said calmly:

"Give me your souls."
