Chapter 395: The Inside Story of the Wu Family

The flight attendant sent another message, but Lin Feng only read half of it before impatiently adding her to his blacklist.

Seducing me?

Take a look at yourself and see if you're worthy!

Putting down his phone and turning off the lights in the room, Lin Feng lay down to rest.

At the same moment, at the Wu Family Mansion.

In a room located underground, an old man lay on a bed, looking like he was on the verge of death.

Moreover, this old man's body was covered in raised bumps, as if a toad had become a demon; it looked extremely terrifying!

This old man was none other than the previous Head of the Family of the Wu Family, Wu Lianyun's father, Wu Chenggang!

These bumps on Wu Chenggang's skin were not caused by a disease; they were filled entirely with True Qi!

His cultivation technique had encountered a problem, and he was on the verge of suffering a cultivation deviation; the True Qi within his body was almost completely out of control.

If this continued, he would likely explode and die!

"Dad, are you alright?"

Wu Lianyun walked over and asked, his face full of concern.

Wu Chenggang on the bed asked in great pain: "Lianyun, I heard that your daughter has returned?"

"Yes, Xiaoxue has been found; she is at home now," Wu Lianyun nodded and said.

"That's wonderful... Prepare the Transfer Origin Array as soon as possible. As long as I can transfer this portion of uncontrollable True Qi in my body into her, I will be able to escape this predicament, and my strength might even reach a higher level!" Wu Chenggang said, a look of sickly excitement appearing on his face.

A hesitant expression appeared on Wu Lianyun's face, and he did not respond immediately.

Wu Chenggang then questioned: "Do you not want to sacrifice Xiaoxue? That Xiaoxue is merely your illegitimate daughter, what does it matter! Illegitimate sons and daughters, aren't they things you can have as many of as you want?"

Wu Lianyun shook his head and said: "Dad, it's not that I care about Xiaoxue; if it weren't to treat you, I wouldn't care about her life or death at all."

"Then what are you worried about?" Wu Chenggang asked.

Wu Lianyun said: "When Xiaoxue returned home today, she was brought back by a young man named Lin Feng. That person's identity seems somewhat special; I can't find out his background at all, and he even threatened me, saying I must take good care of Xiaoxue, otherwise..."

Before Wu Lianyun could finish his sentence, Wu Chenggang sneered: "A brat who hasn't even grown his hair out, he's nothing! Our Wu Family is large and powerful, could we possibly be afraid of him?"

"Stop talking nonsense. You immediately get to work and prepare the Transfer Origin Array. Once the Transfer Origin Array is set up, I will transfer that portion of out-of-control True Qi from my body into Xiaoxue's. As long as I break free from this predicament, our Wu Family will have a Martial King level expert!"

Hearing this, a look of excitement also appeared on Wu Lianyun's face.

A Martial King!

That is an existence second only to a Martial Emperor!

With a Martial King presiding over it, the family would surely flourish and create glory!

As for Xiaoxue's life, it was completely insignificant.

Wu Lianyun nodded in agreement, then said: "I have already gathered all the materials needed for the Transfer Origin Array, but setting up the Transfer Origin Array is not an easy task; it will take two to three days. Dad, please wait patiently."

"Good, good, good. I will wait; I still have that much patience."

Wu Chenggang said with a chuckle, though the expression on his face was truly vicious.

Just after coming out of this basement, Wu Lianyun saw a woman walking toward him.

This woman's face was full of anger, looking as if she were coming to settle a score, and she was none other than Wu Lianyun's wife, the Head of the Family's wife, Xie Min.

As soon as Xie Min reached him, she raised her right hand and slapped toward Wu Lianyun's face.

But Wu Lianyun grabbed her wrist with lightning speed, rendering her right hand unable to move.

"What are you doing?" Wu Lianyun asked angrily.

Xie Min sneered and said: "You actually have the nerve to ask me what I'm doing? What do you intend to do by bringing that little brat back? Do you really want your illegitimate daughter to acknowledge her ancestors and return to the clan, and in the future, split the family assets with my son?"

Wu Lianyun was both amused and annoyed, saying: "How could I possibly let her acknowledge her ancestors? A child born to a maid has no qualifications to step into our Wu Family's ancestral hall!"

"Then you..."

Before Xie Min could finish her sentence, Wu Lianyun said coldly: "You know Father's situation. He was practicing a very powerful technique and ended up on the verge of losing control. His internal True Qi is uncontrollable, and he needs to transfer the uncontrollable True Qi into a blood-related relative to save his life and recover his strength."

"Although I don't acknowledge Xiaoxue as my illegitimate daughter, she was born of me and has my blood flowing in her veins, so she is the best sacrifice! Now do you know why I wanted to find her and bring her back?"

Hearing these words, the anger on Xie Min's face instantly vanished, replaced by a thick smile.

"So that's how it is. Husband, I misunderstood you," Xie Min said.

Wu Lianyun snorted and said: "Xie Min, don't blame me for warning you. It was you who sent people to kill Xiaoxue's mother back then, right?"

"That's right, I admit it was me," Xie Min said frankly.

"She was just a maid; if she's dead, she's dead. I won't hold you accountable for that. But Xiaoxue still has great use; you had better not lay a hand on her. If you kill her and ruin my father's big plan, don't blame me for turning against you!" Wu Lianyun said sternly.

Xie Min smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know what is important. Since that little girl won't live for many more days anyway, I naturally won't do anything to her... However, I still have to go see her. I haven't seen her for so long that I've almost forgotten what she looks like."

"Suit yourself, as long as she stays alive!" After saying this, Wu Lianyun strode away.

In a small room, Xiaoxue sat there all alone. The unfamiliar environment made her feel very insecure; she felt like a pig or sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

No, she felt she was even worse than a pig or sheep; at least pigs and sheep had the ability to resist, while she had no ability to resist at all.

Having not eaten for so long, her stomach was hungry.

Xiaoxue's stomach then began to rumble, sounding just like thunder.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiaoxue finally couldn't hold back and ran over to pat the door.

"Is anyone there? Is there anyone outside?"

"I'm hungry, I want to eat something..."

However, there was no response from outside.

Xiaoxue became even more afraid, trembling all over.

It was at this moment that the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the floor came from the corridor outside.

Someone was coming!

That's great!

Xiaoxue was overjoyed, yet the moment the door opened, the smile on Xiaoxue's face instantly froze, followed by endless terror and dread.

Because the person walking in from outside was a woman with an arrogant expression.

This woman was someone she had seen before; she recognized her.
