Wei Hua accepted the sword imprint, but still had many doubts in his mind.
But when the golden sword imprint danced in his hand, he felt a strange sense of peace.
At the same time, he knew that he definitely couldn't keep Su Yang. Helpless, he could only clasp his hands in thanks and say, "Thank you, but I can't accept your gifts for nothing. Since you've come to N City, please let me do my part as a host."
Su Yang waved his hand: "No need to trouble yourself. I've been busy lately, and I have a lot of things to take care of myself."
Wei Hua sighed and said, "Since Brother Su Yang insists on leaving, I won't force you to stay. Let me send someone to escort you back. Once the disaster here is resolved, I will personally visit L City to express my gratitude!"
Su Yang smiled faintly: "It's nothing, I was just doing someone a favor."
After saying that, Su Yang slowly left.
Along the way, Wei Hua's attitude towards Su Yang became increasingly respectful. Some people who knew Wei Hua were somewhat surprised, after all, the Wei family had always been a high-ranking and powerful force in N City. Their respect for a boy who looked like he had just come of age made them curious.
It was precisely because it was so late that Wei Hua told Su Yang to stay and rest for the night, and that he could leave the next day.
Su Yang thought about it and finally agreed.
He had initially planned to resolve the matter and return home in two or three days. Now, he doesn't need to do anything personally; he's just staying here for one night, which isn't a big deal and won't take up too much time.
After Su Yang agreed, Wei Hua quickly instructed Steward Zhang to treat him well, and then returned to the martial arts school himself.
At this moment, Old Master Wei was still at the mansion, strolling around the area with Wei Yusheng. When Wei Hua returned, Old Master Wei's expression turned cold once again.
"I'm back."
Wei Hua nodded: "Mm."
Old Master Wei said calmly, "So you know how to come back. Very well, I've already paid people to go to Cuishan. I believe the disaster you mentioned will be resolved soon."
Upon hearing this, Wei Hua's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly said, "What? Grandpa, I've investigated that disaster for a long time, and it's definitely not something an ordinary person can handle!"
Old Wei scoffed dismissively: "You said it yourself, it's not something an ordinary person can handle. The people I hire are all top-of-the-line, and the bullets are the latest special ammunition, specifically designed for dealing with disasters."
Wei Hua remained uneasy: "When did they set off?"
Wei Yusheng, who was standing to the side, laughed and said, "They've only been gone for half an hour. I'm sure it won't be long before we get good news."
At that moment, Wei Yusheng's phone rang loudly.
Wei Yusheng had a smug look on his face, because the people he hired were found through his connections, and the person calling now was one of those people he had hired.
He answered the phone with a smile and said to Wei Hua, "Look, you called so quickly."
He then picked up his phone and held it to his ear.
Immediately afterwards, a desperate voice came from the other end of the phone!
"Help! Help! I need backup! Is there anyone who can help?! This...this is a monster, a man-eating monster! Aaaaaah!!"
The final scream rang out shrilly from the phone, and after that desperate roar, only a jumble of sounds could be heard until the voice on the phone fell into dead silence!
Dead silence!
Not only on the phone, but even the smug smile on Wei Yusheng's face froze.
The group of mercenaries he hired were renowned not only in N City but also in the wider world! Their strength, demonstrated after the disaster, was highly valued by many wealthy individuals. Coupled with their specialized ammunition, ordinary disasters offered them no chance of survival!
But now, on the other end of the phone, they received incredibly terrifying bad news!
What happened to them?
Wei Hua was standing not far away and naturally heard the voice coming from the phone. At this moment, he also panicked a little.
He believed that the person the old man had invited couldn't be someone easy to deal with. Even if such a person was capable, he could only bring back one piece of bad news. Just how terrifying were the monsters on Green Mountain?!
Wei Hua clenched his fists tightly and said calmly, "We can't let that monster continue to do evil!"
At this moment, Wei Yusheng was still somewhat lost in thought, while Old Wei remained quite composed.
He looked at Wei Hua and said coldly, "You saw it too. Even the most elite people we brought out couldn't face that disaster. What good are your words? Rely on the martial artists you trained? Or on the little brats you hired before?"
Wei Hua looked at Old Master Wei with a solemn expression and said, "Grandpa, I know you don't think I'm a good candidate to inherit the martial arts school, but you also said that even the most elite people can't face that kind of monster. So how many people in N City can face it? Besides, there are countless disasters lurking around N City. Why can't you trust me just this once?"
Old Wei's wrinkles gradually tightened: "Believe? What do you expect me to believe? You've been running the martial arts school for ten years, and I've believed in you for ten years! But what have you accomplished?"
Wei Hua's face showed some anger: "Does that mean in your eyes, everything in the family is only measured by profit?!"
Old Wei said in a deep voice, "Shouldn't we?"
Wei Hua clenched his fists tightly.
This was the first time he had felt so disappointed in the Wei family. He had loved ancient martial arts since childhood, believing that it was not only for physical fitness but also for its powerful aspects. Perhaps for this reason, before his death, his grandfather personally entrusted him with the management of the Wei family martial arts school and instructed him to remember the martial arts beliefs passed down by his great-grandfather.
Martial arts are not about being competitive or showing off.
Instead, use the word "martial arts" to uphold the "righteousness" you hold dear!
But now, the entire Wei family has completely forgotten the original purpose of opening the martial arts school and has completely regarded it as another money-making machine!
Wei Hua felt hatred, yet he couldn't bring himself to hate him.
He slowly loosened his clenched fist and looked at Old Wei, saying, "I firmly believe that martial arts can bring miracles!"
After saying this, Wei Hua turned and left the courtyard.
Old Wei frowned, watching the receding figure, and said in a deep voice, "If you go, you will die!"
Wei Hua turned his head slightly and said, "If we don't go, more people will die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Hua's figure disappeared into the darkness.
After watching the black figure disappear, Old Master Wei's brows remained tightly furrowed, showing no sign of relaxing. At this moment, his unwavering resolve regarding the future of the Wei family wavered slightly.
Old Wei looked up at the starry sky, and at that moment, he seemed to be thinking about the past.
His usually cold, iron-like face showed a hint of emotion at this moment: "This kid has never forgotten his promise."
Was his decision wrong?
Old Wei disagreed.
The Wei family was originally a business family, and opening a martial arts school was just a secondary option. He never thought that the path he chose was wrong.
Perhaps it's just that they each chose a different kind of 'righteousness'.
