Chapter 1932: I Have the Wu Family Young Master in My Hand

The Guo Family Second Ancestor's heart was like a lake rippling with waves, secretly speculating about who Huang Chong really was.

Although his heart was full of curiosity, he did not dare to speak up lightly, for he knew that since this young man could follow alongside Ye Zhangqing together with Wu Zhong, his identity must certainly be extraordinary.

After all, without a certain background or strength, how could one be qualified to stand beside such a person?

At this moment, Huang Chong, who kept his head lowered and brows slightly drooping, suddenly felt a scorching gaze occasionally cast upon himself.

He couldn't help but frown slightly, a doubt arising in his heart.

Following his intuition, he indeed discovered that the gaze came from the Guo Family Second Ancestor.

What was even stranger was that, under the gaze of the Guo Family Second Ancestor, Huang Chong vaguely felt an unusual atmosphere.

It seemed that the gaze not only contained approval, but also revealed a hint of reverence.

This sudden situation left Huang Chong feeling as if he had fallen into clouds and mist, completely at a loss.

He simply could not understand why this old man he had never met kept staring at him nonstop.

And what exactly did the complex emotion conveyed in that gaze mean?

Could it be merely because I am following beside Ye Zhangqing?

But I am merely an insignificant branch descendant of the Huang family; could this old man be out of his mind?

At this moment, the two gazes unexpectedly met.

When the Guo Family Second Ancestor noticed Huang Chong's gaze, he actually showed a foolish smile without reservation and lightly nodded, his appearance simply an intentional attempt to curry favor.

Seeing this, Huang Chong felt even more that this old man's behavior was strange, secretly muttering.

"This guy definitely has a problem."

Unfortunately, the Guo Family Second Ancestor had no way of knowing Huang Chong's true thoughts deep inside.

In his view, anyone who could follow beside Ye Zhangqing must be an extraordinary transcendent talent, certainly not an ordinary person.

Just as the Guo Family Second Ancestor and Huang Chong exchanged glances and secretly conveyed feelings, Ye Zhangqing's side had already finished explaining a series of matters in detail to Wu Zhong.

Afterwards, he slowly turned his head, his gaze directed toward the Guo Family Second Ancestor, a faint smile appearing on his face as he spoke softly.

"Then I will trouble you, senior, to take care of this."

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the Guo Family Second Ancestor hastily bowed his hands in response.

"Young Master Ye, rest assured, this is truly a trivial matter; I will definitely handle it securely and steadily, never letting the young master down."

Having said that, he immediately acted without hesitation, without any delay.

Only seeing the Guo Family Second Ancestor taking Wu Zhong, they hurriedly left Cooking King Immortal City that very day.

However, what was somewhat unexpected was that the Guo Family Third Ancestor did not leave together, but chose to stay in the city.

Night fell, lights began to shine, and mealtime arrived. Ye Zhangqing specially and carefully prepared a full table of sumptuous dishes to entertain the Guo Family Third Ancestor.

When everyone gathered around the table, the Guo Family Third Ancestor behaved very easygoing and natural, as if there were no difference compared to before.

Everyone freely drank fine wine while enjoying delicious dishes, chatting and laughing happily; the whole atmosphere was harmonious, appearing especially relaxed and pleasant.

As for this harmonious and joyful atmosphere, Ye Zhangqing also quite liked it in his heart.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the city, the Guo Family Second Ancestor, accompanied by Wu Zhong, embarked on the return journey without rest.

They sped along like lightning, first rushing back to the place where the Guo family resides.

After reaching the destination, the Guo Family Second Ancestor needed to first retrieve that crucially important formation token stored at home.

Afterwards, they still had to go to the Netherworld Palace and various other forces without sparing effort, visiting each one individually and trying to retrieve the formation tokens possessed by those forces.

Only by gathering all the tokens could the powerful seal enveloping Xianmen be smoothly lifted.

Only then could Yun Xiantai and others pass through Xianmen to enter the Immortal Realm.

Throughout this journey, the Guo Family Second Ancestor's attitude toward Wu Zhong could be described as extremely respectful. After all, Wu Zhong is the young master of the Wu family, his status supremely noble, worthy of being called a true great figure. The Guo Family Second Ancestor followed Wu Zhong attentively, occasionally asking about his well-being, his face always full of fawning smiles.

Fortunately, this journey encountered no danger.

The two traveled safely all the way and finally arrived smoothly at the place where the Guo family resides.

Just after stepping into the Guo family gate, the Guo Family Second Ancestor immediately began arranging Wu Zhong's living accommodations without delay.

He personally led Wu Zhong to a luxuriously decorated, spacious and comfortable room, then respectfully said.

"Young Master Wu, since it is late today and the journey has been tiring, why not rest for the night and depart tomorrow? How does that sound?"

Wu Zhong nodded slightly, indicating agreement, and replied calmly.

"The Guo ancestor's arrangement is acceptable."

Seeing this, the Guo Family Second Ancestor quickly nodded in agreement, then turned and summoned several young, beautiful female disciples of the Guo family, sternly instructing them to serve Wu Zhong diligently, allowing no negligence or laxity.

After giving the instructions, the Guo Family Second Ancestor then hurriedly left to fetch that crucially important formation disk.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the Guo family main hall appeared somewhat solemn.

The Guo family head listened with a doubtful expression to the subordinate's report concerning the second ancestor's actions.

It turned out that the Guo Family Second Ancestor actually demanded that the family head lift the Xianmen seal and have him retrieve the precious formation disk.

The Guo family head frowned tightly, secretly pondering in his heart.

Seeing the second ancestor approach, the Guo family head asked suspiciously.

"Old ancestor, you also know that this seal cannot be easily lifted by our Guo family alone; it requires cooperation from several other forces. However, the Netherworld Palace has always been proud and arrogant—will they really agree to cooperate with us?"

While speaking, the Guo family head's face was full of suspicion.

At this moment, the Guo Family Second Ancestor, seated in the main position, wore a calm expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and let out a light hum as he spoke.

"Heh, regardless of whether they agree or not, we must follow our arrangement this time; this matter is not up to them to decide."

In his words, an undeniable aura of dominance was revealed.

The Guo family head gazed at the second ancestor's face, full of confidence and even a touch of arrogance, his heart growing increasingly puzzled.

He secretly pondered, where does this confidence come from? After all, the Netherworld Palace and the other major forces are not to be provoked; in terms of strength, they are in no way inferior to the Guo family.

Especially now that the secret realm is opening, it weren't for the Guo family's decisive action, sending all the elite disciples of the clan into it, they would likely have been completely suppressed by other forces.

Facing the Guo family head, who was full of suspicion, the Second Ancestor, however, was full of confidence and gave a slight smile, then spoke confidently with a smile.

"Haha, what's the rush? This time, this old man has Young Master Wu in hand; as long as he is here, who would dare not obey the words spoken by our Guo family?"

After saying that, a hint of cunning flashed in the Second Ancestor's eyes.
