The main gate was suddenly thrown open, and a large number of Wu Family Martial Cultivators swarmed in with a great commotion.
Seeing this, Wu Jinfeng's expression changed drastically.
"What a brilliant move. You're even willing to betray your own father."
"It seems you've been secretly training a good number of your Death Guards all these years."
"What's next? Are you planning to kill your own father, too?"
Wu Jinfeng stared coldly at Wu Qiang.
"Dad, don't force my hand."
"Just hand over the Patriarch's Seal and retire behind the scenes. I promise I'll honor and care for you,"
Wu Qiang said.
"Hahaha!"
"I'm afraid the moment I hand over the Patriarch's Seal, you'll kill me."
"And what happened to your mother... you had a hand in that too, didn't you?"
Wu Jinfeng looked at Wu Qiang.
Wu Qiang didn't answer, but his gaze turned impossibly cold.
"What now? Are all of you going to follow this traitorous son of mine and turn against me?"
Wu Jinfeng said, his face cold.
"We don't want to turn against you. We just hope you'll be more level-headed."
"And hand over the Patriarch's Seal."
Ni Wei said, looking at Wu Jinfeng.
"Old Ni, you've been with me for decades. Why are you going along with Wu Qiang's nonsense?"
Wu Jinfeng said.
"Sigh... I support Wu Qiang."
"I believe he would be a fine successor."
Ni Wei said.
"He's far from ready. He lacks foresight and he lacks strength,"
Elder Wu said.
"Dad, what about you? What foresight do you have? What strength?"
"You haven't even reached the Guiyuan Realm. What right do you have to criticize me?"
"If it weren't for the masters in this family protecting you all this time, do you think you'd still be alive today?"
"Hurry up and hand over the title of Patriarch."
"Or else don't blame your son for what comes next."
Wu Qiang was losing his patience.
"What's this? You can't take it anymore? Ready to make a move on your own father?"
"Thinking of committing patricide to take power."
"Do you think you can hold onto that position?"
"Many other families are watching us like hawks right now,"
Wu Jinfeng said.
"It's precisely because so many families are watching us that I have to step up now. I refuse to wait any longer,"
Wu Qiang said.
"Look at you. Do you really think this means you have everything under control?"
Wu Jinfeng shook his head at Wu Qiang.
Chen Qingdi stood to the side, calmly observing the scene.
"Mr. Chen, my apologies for this embarrassing display."
"You've only just arrived, and you're already caught in our Wu Family's internal strife,"
Wu Jinfeng said with a wry smile.
"It's to be expected."
"But you're right about one thing. Wu Qiang is not suited to be the Patriarch of the Wu Family."
"This is not the right time."
"Wu Qiang, do you know why your father won't cede the Patriarch position to you?"
Chen Qingdi asked, turning to Wu Qiang.
"Is that any of your business?"
"You should worry about yourself first."
Wu Qiang's anger flared just looking at Chen Qingdi.
"He Gu, 'escort' this kid out."
"If you leave on your own now, I can pretend you were never here."
"But if you don't, and Tributor He hurts you in a bit, don't expect me to intervene,"
Wu Qiang said with a cold expression.
"Excellent. I was just thinking I'd like to see how strong a Wu Family Tributor really is."
"Bring it on."
Chen Qingdi actually seemed to be getting excited.
Seeing Chen Qingdi's reaction infuriated Wu Qiang.
"Tributor He, don't hold back,"
Wu Qiang said, his face frigid.
At this, Wu Jinfeng looked at Chen Qingdi with some concern.
"Mr. Chen, can you handle this?"
Wu Jinfeng asked.
"I can,"
Chen Qingdi replied nonchalantly.
Seeing Chen Qingdi's nonchalant expression, He Gu slowly walked up to him.
"What, is my strength so beneath your notice?"
"Someone you think you can deal with so casually?"
"You're that confident in yourself?"
He Gu said in a low voice.
"It's not confidence. It's just that, from my perspective, your cultivation realm is a little too low,"
Chen Qingdi said.
"You, a mere kid at the Guiyuan realm, dare to say my realm is low?"
"Who gave you that nerve?"
"I really don't know where you get your nerve from, kid,"
He Gu said coldly.
"You don't need to worry about where I get my nerve."
"All you need to know is that I can definitely handle you."
"Believe it or not,"
Chen Qingdi said nonchalantly.
"Kid, since you're so confident, I'll have to teach you a proper lesson."
"Time for a harsh reality check. Maybe then you'll learn to be more humble when you're out and about."
He Gu stared coldly at Chen Qingdi.
"I am very low-key."
"Besides, how do you know I'm only at the Guiyuan realm?"
Chen Qingdi said, smiling at He Gu.
"Any Martial Cultivator could tell."
"And you have the gall to even mention that pathetic level of strength."
"I don't even want to waste my breath on you."
"Kid, I advise you to just give up now,"
He Gu said to Chen Qingdi, his face cold.
But Chen Qingdi remained perfectly calm.
He simply stood his ground, watching He Gu with a placid gaze.
"It seems you're determined to have a go at it, kid."
"Fine, fine. Since you're so intent on dying, don't blame me for what happens next,"
He Gu said.
"Don't be polite. By all means, come at me."
Chen Qingdi nodded with a smile.
"Everyone get back."
"Watch me beat him until he begs for mercy,"
He Gu said.
Just as He Gu was about to make his move, Chen Qingdi suddenly raised a hand.
Seeing this gesture, He Gu and Wu Qiang assumed the kid was scared and about to surrender. Smug expressions appeared on their faces.
"Hahaha! So you're scared after all, kid."
"You should be scared."
"There's no shame in surrendering."
"Now get out of this mess,"
He Gu said.
"No, no, no!"
Chen Qingdi quickly shook his head.
Seeing that Chen Qingdi had no intention of surrendering, both He Gu and Wu Qiang were confused. 'What on earth is he trying to do?'
"Then what is it you want?"
He Gu asked.
"It's too cramped in here. If we really fight, there won't be enough room for us to use our abilities. Why don't we go fight in the large courtyard outside?"
"What do you say?"
Chen Qingdi said, looking at his opponent.
"Fine. Since you're asking for it, I'll grant your request."
"There is indeed more room to maneuver out there."
"But don't you go fighting halfway and then try to run, kid,"
He Gu said to Chen Qingdi.
"Don't worry."
"I'm not one to run from a fight,"
Chen Qingdi said.
Wu Jinfeng still looked completely composed. Chen Qingdi thought, 'Could it be that Wu Jinfeng was prepared for this all along, and just isn't ready to reveal his hand yet?'
'Whatever. I'll deal with this He Gu first and see what he's really capable of before I make any other plans.'
