230: Wu Jiutian's Decision

Wu Linglong suddenly sighed and said, "I really envy your Family, Young Master! Unlike here, where everyone finds each other an eyesore."

"Haha, then I guess I can't marry so many wives in the future!"

"Then how many does the Young Master want to marry?"

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment. "Uh... if I marry you, does that mean I can't marry anyone else?"

"If the Young Master wants to marry more, I will give up my position and become your maid, responsible for serving you."

"You're too clever!"

"Will I make you dislike me like this?" Wu Linglong looked at him with an innocent and pitiful expression.

Jiang Ye lost instantly. "My grandfather only had my grandmother, and my eldest uncle, third uncle, and father also only married one wife. I wouldn't dare break this tradition, otherwise the consequences would be very serious."

"Really?" Wu Linglong immediately broke into a charming smile, looking at him with eyes full of love.

Jiang Ye said in a righteous tone, "Of course it's true! Why would I lie to a little woman like you?"

"Enough! I'm still here," Wu Xishan suddenly interjected.

Jiang Ye glanced at him and said with disdain, "Why are you still here?"

"I... Brother-in-law, you're pretty smooth!"

"Hehehe!" Wu Linglong couldn't help but laugh.

"Sigh! Forget it, if I want to enjoy some time alone as a couple, I'll have to go outside. I reckon it'll be the same if I go back to my house—it'll be full of difficult fellows like you surrounding me and refusing to leave."

After the few of them chatted for a while, Wu Jiutian walked over with Qin Lie and his son.

When Qin Wan saw Wu Linglong looking at Jiang Ye with a smile, an expression full of love that was worlds apart from the cold attitude she had shown when meeting him before, he instantly flew into a rage.

"Wu Linglong, weren't you in seclusion for a Breakthrough? Why are you here hooking up with some wild man? Don't forget that you promised to marry me in three months!"

Wu Linglong's expression changed as she said, "Is that so? I promised you that? How come I didn't know?"

"You..." Qin Wan looked at Wu Jiutian and said, "Don't tell me you're going to deny it too!"

"Screw you! What kind of tone is that to use with my father!" Wu Xishan was instantly infuriated when he saw him shouting so rudely at Wu Jiutian.

Qin Wan glared at Wu Xishan and said viciously, "You little brat! Do you believe I'll slaughter you!"

Wu Xishan showed no weakness and stood up to glare back. "You dare say you'll slaughter me in front of my brother-in-law? Do you believe my brother-in-law won't let you walk out of here today!"

"Brother-in-law? This piece of trash is your brother-in-law?"

Hearing his words, Jiang Ye also slowly stood up and walked a few steps toward him. "Based on what you're saying, you tried to force Linglong to marry you before? Uncle Wu, there wouldn't be any problem if I slaughtered him here, right?"

"Hmm?" Everyone was stunned. Seeing the confidence written all over Jiang Ye's Face, as if he could certainly kill Qin Wan, Qin Lie immediately said, "Young brother, we indeed had a verbal marriage agreement with the Wu Family beforehand. We came this time to discuss the marriage between the two families. I hope you can understand!"

"Father! Why be polite to this trash? He's just in the Xuan Saint Realm!" Qin Wan said arrogantly.

Jiang Ye saw that Wu Jiutian didn't answer him; his attitude was already self-evident.

Jiang Ye said in a cold voice, "Listen carefully, I'll only say this once. Wu Linglong and I were already together when we were in the Southern Region, so there's no such thing as a marriage agreement with you. Even if she said something, it was because you forced her. I've killed many people today. Today is my first time here, and I'll give the Main Family Branch some Face. If you are rude again, then stay here forever!"

Qin Wan was furious. "Trash! You have quite the nerve to talk to me like—ugh, ah..."

Before he could finish, Jiang Ye instantly grabbed his throat. Qin Lie was shocked at the sight; it seemed Wu Jiutian hadn't lied before—this person really was the one who destroyed the Shen Xuan Alliance.

"Young brother, please stay your hand! It was all due to my lack of discipline. I apologize to you. Please do not take his life!"

Jiang Ye said coldly, "Your son has so little ability yet stirs up trouble every day. Why don't I teach him a lesson for you, to save you from becoming the next Shen Xuan Alliance, where one person's mistake leads to the extermination of the whole sect!"

With a thought from Jiang Ye, Qin Wan's Soul immediately began to burn.

"Ah... you... what did you do to me? Ah... Father, kill him!" Qin Wan was thrown to the ground by Jiang Ye, screaming in agony.

"This..." Qin Lie wanted to save him, but he didn't dare move. He understood that Jiang Ye was definitely waiting for him to make a move. Once he dared to act, both father and son would surely die here. The terrifying youth before him was the leader who had destroyed the number one power in the Profound Realm!

"Ah... what did you do to me! Stop it right now!"

Jiang Ye said, "You don't have much time. If you don't want to die, crawl up and kneel before me to apologize sincerely!"

"Ah... In your dreams!"

"Then you'd better hold on. That bit of Bloodline Power from your special Physique won't last long!"

"Hmm?" Qin Lie was startled. He had actually discovered that Qin Wan possessed the Xuan Battle Physique!

After a few breaths, Qin Wan could no longer hold on!

"Let me go... I apologize to you!" Qin Wan really couldn't withstand the Soul burning. He changed his attitude before he could even finish two sentences, crawled up with difficulty, and knelt directly in front of Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye withdrew his Soul power and said indifferently, "Get lost! Let this be the last time. If it weren't because this is the Wu Family's place, I would have killed you long ago."

"Thank you for showing mercy!" Qin Lie said, then quickly led Qin Wan away.

Evening

Liu Yuyan prepared a very sumptuous dinner. The couple seemed like different people, and the five of them chatted happily during the meal.

After three rounds of drinks, Wu Jiutian said, "Little Jiang! Tonight is the happiest day your aunt and I have had in all these years. It's the first time your aunt hasn't had to act crazy or play dumb. You don't know how miserably we've lived just to survive! I didn't even dare to go look for my daughter when she was away for years. Everywhere I went, someone was monitoring me, I..."

"Alright, alright. It's rare for Little Jiang to visit for the first time. Why talk about those unhappy things!" Liu Yuyan said.

Jiang Ye quickly said, "It's fine, Uncle! Keep talking. If you don't say it, I won't know how to help you."

"Alright. Now that no one in the entire Profound Realm can rival you, I can be considered to be riding on my daughter's coattails, having you as a backer, hehehe! In the past, although I appeared glamorous on the surface, I was actually restricted everywhere.

For example, in this Family, although I have seven children, except for these two, the others have never respected me as a father. I didn't even dare to voice too many opinions about them. Isn't it laughable? Hehehe!"

Wu Xishan said, "Yes! Second Mother and Fourth Mother would use their backgrounds to pressure my father at every turn. If it weren't for the safety of my sister and me, my father would have rebelled long ago!"

Wu Jiutian said, "Now your Second Mother no longer has a background. That Old Ancestor Great-Grandfather of hers from the Shen Xuan Alliance probably won't survive."

Jiang Ye said, "He should be dead by now. The person who took them away was the Blue Emperor through Possession. The people who came to attack the Xuan Lei Sect at the Forbidden Ground earlier were all killed by him. He wanted those in the Emperor Realm so he could extract their emperor spirit qi to restore his cultivation!"

Wu Xishan laughed, "Hahaha! Good riddance! That stinking woman was always cursing my father, saying everything he had was given by their Shen Xuan Alliance backer. She was acting all high and mighty every day, and those two children of hers joined in, calling my father a coward."

Jiang Ye hadn't expected Wu Jiutian, who appeared handsome and suave on the surface, to have lived such a bitter life. He said, "Uncle! I toast you. I think you are a true man. You remind me of my parents. When I was young, to keep my Pure Yang Body a secret, they endured all sorts of misunderstandings for years, not daring to speak the truth.

Sometimes I feel very guilty toward them, so I want to become stronger. I want to carve my fierce reputation into everyone's hearts so that no one dares to provoke my parents. Once anyone touches my Family, I will directly exterminate their clan to make an example of them!"

Wu Jiutian nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Good, good, good! You are a good kid. It seems I had some misunderstandings about you before; I thought you were a bloodthirsty person!"

Liu Yuyan said, "Hehehe, it seems my intuition was right. When I first saw Little Jiang, I felt he was a good child, and everything on the surface was just out of necessity."

Wu Jiutian asked Jiang Ye, "What are your plans next?"

"I'll stabilize the affairs of the Profound Realm for a while, then return to the Southern Region. I'll also take Linglong back to meet my Family."

"Good, good, good! You two like each other; you won't have to live as hard as we did in the future. Just live your lives happily, and your aunt and I will be satisfied. Hehehe!!"

"Don't worry! Once I take her back, with my grandfather's personality, he will definitely hold a feast for three days and three nights, then call over my great-uncle from my grandmother's side and my grandfather from my mother's side to drink their fill."

"I really envy how united your Family is. Small families have their own benefits!" Wu Jiutian said.

"Yes! Ever since I established my prestige in the Southern Region, there have basically been no more conflicts there."

Wu Linglong also laughed happily, "Yes, the Young Master's prestige in the Southern Region is very high. He is also the Grand Elder of several major powers there; no one dares to provoke him anymore."

Suddenly, a group of people walked in—Wu Jiutian's other two wives and their children.

Wu Mei, the daughter of the second wife, said with a look of disdain, "Eating quite well, aren't we! Now that this vile woman is back, it actually makes you this happy. It's as if we other children aren't even your own."

Wu Xishan cursed, "Who knows if you're some bastard child your mother had with some lover?"

Wu Mei was instantly enraged. "You dog! Have you grown a pair today? You dare insult me!"

Slap!! Wu Jiutian directly gave Wu Mei a loud slap on the Face and said, "I am hosting a guest right now. Since you know I am your father, you should have the proper etiquette of a child. Instead of even greeting me, you're here shouting and screaming!"

Wu Mei glared at Wu Jiutian and said, "You dare hit me! You're finished. I'm definitely going to tell my maternal Great-Grandfather and make you pay for this!"

Wu Xishan laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Your Family's backer has already gone to Hell today. Hurry back and burn some incense for him, lest he goes hungry down there and becomes a starved ghost!"

The second wife said, "I think you've all gone mad! Wu Jiutian, even my grandfather's favorite granddaughter, you dare to..."

Slap!!! Wu Jiutian gave the second wife another loud slap and said, "Get back right now and have your 'great backer' come here."

"You... you... you're rebelling!" The second wife simply couldn't believe that Wu Jiutian actually dared to hit her and her daughter.

"Get out!" Wu Jiutian barked!

"Fine, Wu Jiutian, you just wait. Let's go!" The second wife led her daughter away in a rage.

The fourth wife, Wu Liuyu, said, "Has your Family had a change of heart today? Usually so submissive, yet today you dare to insult and hit people!"

Wu Jiutian's voice was cold as he said, "What are you here for? To watch the joke of my aggrieved inability to resist you?"

"Wu Jiutian, you'd better think clearly. My Wu Family is not something the second wife's Family can compare to."

"Then you can also get lost and have your Wu Family send someone to pressure me! I am hosting a distinguished guest right now and have no time for you."

Wu Liuyu looked at Jiang Ye. "Distinguished guest? This person?"

Her son said, "Mother, the 'number one person in the Profound Realm' you introduced to his daughter is gone. This trash is probably her lover. Truly, the whole Family is of the same ilk."

This time, Wu Jiutian was very calm. He said indifferently, "It seems you people have never treated me as a father. Then from today onward, let's make a clean break! I will take my wife and children and leave this place tomorrow, never to see you again!"

"What did you say? Do you dare say that again!" Wu Liuyu also hadn't expected at all that Wu Jiutian would dare to say he was directly abandoning them.

"I'll say it ten more times and it'll be the same. I will leave tomorrow with my wife and children, leaving this place that has oppressed me for years."

Wu Liuyu said angrily, "If you dare abandon us, I will make sure none of you have a place to stay!"

Jiang Ye said, "My Xuan Lei Sect sincerely invites Uncle Wu to take the position of Grand Elder of our Xuan Lei Sect. I hope you won't look down on our small temple."

Wu Jiutian laughed, "Hehehe, good! I accept."

"Hmm? What kind of thing are you!" Wu Liuyu's son said.

Slap!!! Wu Jiutian gave him another loud slap, and this one was much heavier than the ones he gave the other two.

"Get out immediately! Since you don't treat me as a father, I won't talk about Family ties with you either."

"You dare hit me?" Wu Liuyu's son glared at Wu Jiutian viciously.

Boom!!! "Ah..." Wu Jiutian directly struck hard, using the powerful aura of the Profound Emperor Realm to send him flying.

"Wu Jiutian! You'd even strike your own son with such lethal force?" Wu Liuyu shouted.

"Heh, when has he ever acknowledged me as his father? There's no need for me to show you any more consideration. Get lost! Don't interfere with my Family reunion," Wu Jiutian said coldly.

"You... so after all these years, you've only had this woman in your heart, and you've always been so partial to the children she bore. You've never treated us as your wife and children."

"Humph! If these children were willing to show me even a shred of respect normally, I wouldn't be so heartless today. Now that we've dropped all pretenses, why talk about Family ties!" Wu Jiutian said angrily.

"Fine, you just wait! And this whatever Xuan Lei Sect—within three days, I will level you to the ground!" After Wu Liuyu finished, she left with her son.
