Riding in Wei's private car, we quickly left the territory of L City.
Along the way, Wei Hua explained to Su Yang a lot about the Wei family and the recent troubles they had encountered. The Wei family indeed held a pivotal position in N City. To be honest, this large family had been in business since their ancestors' generation, eventually becoming a wealthy household. After acquiring wealth, their great-grandfather's generation enjoyed associating with martial arts masters, and thus opened a martial arts school for these masters.
Over time, the Wei family became involved in both commerce and military affairs. To this day, they have influence in both business and the military.
It's almost certain that the Wei family is undoubtedly the number one family in the entire N City!
As for dealing with disasters, N City not only has the support of the military but also the Wei family, so it's not as strained as some other cities. However, after the recent missing persons incident, they realized there was a force they couldn't handle!
Throughout the journey, Wei Hua's speech was always somewhat evasive, clearly indicating that he hadn't revealed everything.
Only after arriving at the Wei family's residence in Nanshi did Wei Hua seem to breathe a sigh of relief and go to the location where the Wei family had opened their martial arts school.
As soon as you get off the bus, you are greeted by a strong classical atmosphere. At the top of the martial arts hall hangs a plaque with a powerful and vigorous inscription, bearing the single character "武" (Wu, meaning martial arts). Just looking at this large character evokes a fiery feeling of burning youth and unleashing passion!
"Your martial arts school has quite a unique charm," Su Yang said with a smile, looking around the school.
Wei Hua chimed in with a laugh, "Brother Su Yang, you flatter me. To be honest, this martial arts school was only truly powerful during my great-grandfather's generation. It has declined considerably since then."
Su Yang nodded.
In recent years, society has been developing in various places. While the appeal of ancient martial arts is undoubtedly strong, on the other hand, there are even more people using the name of ancient martial arts to swindle and deceive! How many?
Eighty percent of martial arts schools are actually 'fake martial arts schools' that use the name of ancient martial arts to open their own schools!
Later, many new fighting techniques were introduced from abroad, which were much more realistic than ancient martial arts, which is why ancient martial arts gradually declined.
Thinking of this, Su Yang couldn't help but ask, "By the way, why did you bring me to the martial arts school instead of going directly to your house?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Hua smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "To be honest, the Wei family doesn't want to ask other forces to resolve the disaster in N City. Whether it's the older generation or those who manage the conglomerate, they all believe that those who come to help our Wei family are actually after our wealth. Even some of the non-family masters in my martial arts school are occasionally ostracized by some of our family's higher-ups."
Hearing this, Su Yang understood a little.
Starting with the generation of Wei's great-grandfather, he mostly gathered martial artists from the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world). The so-called Wei Family Martial Arts School was essentially equivalent to the Hundred Schools Hall (百家堂, a martial arts hall where members could only ascend to the position of master through sheer strength). However, from that great-grandfather's generation to the present, the Wei family's business has gradually expanded while the martial arts school has gradually declined. This inevitably leads some in the upper echelons to believe that those martial artists from other surnames who remain at the Wei Family Martial Arts School are only there because they covet the Wei family's wealth.
It has to be said that the internal troubles within the Wei family are quite chaotic.
Wei Hua then said seriously, "However, the situation in N City is getting more and more serious. Now I'll give you the truth, little brother."
"The official number of missing persons is seventy-three, but the actual number is likely more than two hundred! Moreover, to ensure that things don't escalate further, I sent ten skilled fighters from our martial arts school to investigate three days ago. I told them they had to return within a day, but they haven't returned yet. So I suspect that the disaster hidden in N City is more bizarre and terrifying than any disaster we've encountered before!"
At this point, Wei Hua looked at Su Yang and said, "That's why I had to test you before we met. If you can't even get past me in terms of strength, then even if you come here, you probably won't survive!"
Su Yang nodded: "I see."
Wei Hua's sentiment is truly commendable.
Despite the Wei family's opposition, he still chose to find a suitable person to help them. This alone shows that his mindset is different from ordinary people. Being able to put aside the Wei family's high status in N City and choose to negotiate with others would probably make their great-grandfather Wei family gratified if he were still alive.
So Su Yang said, "Since I promised Mr. Jiang, I should clean up this mess. Brother Wei, you can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Wei Hua felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, and he immediately smiled and said, "Young brother, to have such strength and magnanimity at such a young age is truly a model for us martial artists. Come! Please come inside!"
After saying that, Wei Hua led Su Yang into the martial arts hall.
As soon as he entered the martial arts hall, he saw many disciples practicing their skills. Upon seeing Wei Hua, they all clasped their hands and bowed deeply. Wei Hua did not make any statement, as if it were all a matter of course.
From the outside, you can only see the grandeur of the Wei Family Martial Arts School, but once you step inside, you can feel the strong atmosphere of martial arts practice!
The surrounding area was vast, with several weapon racks along the walls displaying a wide variety of weapons. Many young people, dressed in training clothes, were either practicing fist techniques, swordsmanship, or other moves alone, or sparring in groups of two or three to gain practical experience. The air was filled with the sounds of flowing movements, shouts, and the clash of weapons, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that perfectly embodied the essence of martial arts!
Continuing onward, there are several ancient houses, resembling the mansions of ancient noble families, surrounded by artificial hills, ponds, and paths, which is enough to show the Wei family's wealth!
If the Wei family's martial arts school alone is this powerful, how vast must their main family be?
Su Yang glanced at it; for this world, the ancient house before him was remarkable enough. But in his eyes, it didn't seem that amazing.
Wei Hua seemed to notice Su Yang's expression as well, and couldn't help but sigh that he had really struck gold.
Whenever someone came to them, their eyes would reveal different expressions, but in Su Yang's eyes, they were all calm, like an ancient well that could not be disturbed by any ripples.
At this moment, a middle-aged man of about forty years old, standing in front of the old house, nodded slightly when he saw Wei Hua.
He then said, "Mr. Wei, the master is waiting for you inside to discuss matters."
Upon hearing this, Wei Hua's eyelids twitched, and he frowned slightly, asking, "Grandpa? Are there other people at home?"
The man shook his head: "Only the old man and the young master came."
Upon hearing these words, Wei Hua's expression clearly turned somewhat unpleasant.
He then looked at Su Yang and said, "Brother Su Yang, let's go in. The old man is here too, so I can explain things to him."
