"Originally, the surname here wasn't Wu. It was your mother's family, the Ji clan. Famous for their celestial cloud weaving skills, the Ji clan was responsible for raising the mythical beast Kunpeng at Feitian Ferry, the closest place to the gods, for over a hundred generations."
Stepping into the courtyard, Wu Xingxiao introduced the origin of the mansion to his grandson as they walked.
"Back then, in pursuit of pure bloodline, I married into the Ji family and became a live-in son-in-law. Later, your father was born. Your father was truly exceptional and even more brilliant than me. Traveling as a young man, he established the coveted Peach Blossom Island in just a few years. Using his pharmacist skills, he recruited a large number of followers and quickly rose to fame."
"Later, he married another daughter from a branch of the Ji family. I was initially worried that your health would be affected by your lack of 5 generations of mourning. However, I didn't expect you to be born with a unique fragrance within you, a fragrance so strong that neither your father nor I could possibly match."
The old man chattered about the development relationship between their three generations. He walked through the courtyard full of Ganoderma lucidum, spiritual herbs and various precious flowers, and took a breath after entering the hall.
"Have some tea first, there's no rush." Wu Heng saw how tired he was after seeing him struggling. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't continue to ask about the truth behind why the genius of the Wu family was driven out of Peach Blossom Island. He just let the old man rest on the chair.
"Good boy." Wu Xingxiao clapped his hands. He now treated his eldest grandson like a precious treasure. He agreed to everything he said. "Grandpa will listen to you. Your father should not have woken up yet. We will go find him later."
"Yeah." Wu Heng nodded. He had already met his blood relatives and saw that they were living well. His uneasy heart that had been restless all the way was completely settled down, and he was no longer in a hurry.
The deputy sect leader smiled and led the others in. "In that case, why don't we do the assessment test together first? I also want to see the young master's current physical condition."
Wu Heng didn't care. He just saw Brother Biao was a little reserved in the crowd and was afraid that he would be bullied, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay."
"Haha, that's fine. I, an old man, would also like to take a look at the qualifications of the younger generation." Wu Xingxiao showed great interest in his eldest grandson's participation in the competition. Finally, he raised his hand and gestured towards the girl, "Miss Ye, please take a seat here. Let's take a look together."
They were all contestants, but he actually asked Ye Lan to sit down and watch the game, with no intention of letting her participate in the test at all.
The contestants in the hall all looked a little subtle for a moment.
The Lumen siblings had been favored children since childhood, and were arrogant and conceited. They couldn't accept this discriminatory treatment. The surly little boy immediately stood up and protested, "Since you've been on the deadly cableway together, even if you know how to control objects, you should still take the test with us. Otherwise, it's unfair to the rest of us to take the backdoor!"
His voice was clear and loud, and he stared at Ye Lan with burning eyes, showing his unwillingness to accept the selfish desires of the judge.
This vase that seemed unremarkable the whole time they were climbing the mountain trail together, although he had indeed misjudged her because of her ability to control objects, but did she think she could step on his head and get the position directly with this little trick?
No way!
The others remained silent and did not express any opinions, but their silence already represented an attitude.
"You..." The deputy sect leader frowned upon seeing this. Before he could figure out how to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, he heard Wu Xingxiao snort coldly from the main seat.
"Oh, controlling a creature? You ignorant child, you dare show off here before you've even read two books." The old man's eagle eyes were like knives, and his deep voice was even more piercing, hammering down on everyone in the hall. "Do you think the ancient mythical beast Kunpeng can be summoned by your tricks? Is it as easy as controlling a cat or a dog? I tell you the truth, Feitiandu has protected this Kunpeng for generations because it can hear the heavens and possesses divine power. What can drive it is not some so-called controlling of a creature, but - supernatural power."
Supernatural powers?!
When these two words came out, most people present were still confused and didn't understand, but the little boy from Lumen turned pale and widened his eyes. "Divine power! It is an ability that only those who have cultivated to the highest level of metaphysics and been granted godhood can possess... But, how is it possible?"
He murmured to himself, his face full of disbelief, because supernatural powers, like Kunpeng, were almost legends that had disappeared in ancient times.
In recent historical records, there is only one sorcerer with divine status: Zhuge Kongming, who attained enlightenment when he was nearly forty years old. So how old is this girl?!
"Oh, I would like to use the back door to let Miss Ye enter my Wu Mansion. If she agrees, I will even hand over the Wu family to you. Unfortunately, my small temple is not worthy of her. From the beginning, I never dared to hope that she would take the test. Now you should understand, right?" After Wu Xingxiao finished explaining, his eagle eyes swept over the people in the hall, without concealing his contempt and ridicule.
Idiot who can't even tell the difference between himself and his opponent. I shouldn't have wasted time staying to watch.
At this time, everyone in the hall was blushing and felt too embarrassed to face anyone.
The girl had no intention of joining the competition at all. It was their fault that they were so mean-spirited and wishfully regarded the other person as their rival.
The little boy from Lumen bit his lips and lowered his head in shame and anger. He felt like he was slapped twice and his face was burning with pain.
"Master, please calm down. These people are experiencing our world for the first time, so it's normal for them to be ignorant of the immensity of the world. Once they are officially admitted and go out to see the world, they will realize that there are people who are better than you and there are things beyond your reach." The deputy master came out awkwardly to smooth things over. He knew that with his master's violent temper, things would turn out like this, but rather than waiting to be dealt with outside, it was better to give them a warning now.
"Forget it, forget it. You continue. I will take my eldest grandson to meet his father first. Miss Ye, if you don't mind, you can also take a look around. I think he wants to meet you too." Wu Xingxiao didn't want to stay here anymore, so he got up and walked towards the back hall.
Ye Lan and Wu Heng also followed.
"Alright, alright, stop looking. Now follow me to the pharmacy to test whether you have the qualifications to become a pharmacist. If the test does not produce any response, we will immediately erase your memory and send you down the mountain." The deputy sect leader clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back, and then led them in another direction.
The Lumen siblings landed in the middle of the crowd this time, appearing much more low-key. However, the younger sister was still fuming. She couldn't help but tug at her brother's sleeve, muttering softly, "Brother, it's fine if you say we can't compare to that warlock, but why should we be tested against an ordinary person like that? He can't even make it past the ropeway."
Hearing this, the little boy turned around to look at Brother Biao who was at the back of the crowd. Remembering that he came with the girl, anger began to rise in his heart.
"Don't worry, I will never let that kind of person become our fellow disciple."
As he spoke, a hint of gloom flashed across his young face.
Let me say this on both sides.
As soon as the old man passed through the back hall, a servant came to report.
"Master, the Young Master has woken up and is clamoring to see you."
