Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16002
Chapter 16000: Grudges and Enmities
Zhu Qingshan shook his head and said, “It’s not your fault. Even if it weren’t for you, they would have found something else to deal with me. So this matter has nothing to do with you. But when you go back, you should keep a close eye on your brother and make sure he doesn’t cause any more trouble.” Wu Changling quickly agreed and then stood up.
Zhu Qingshan looked at Wu Changling and Wu Lingfeng and asked, “What do you think we should do to resolve this?”
Wu Changling thought for a moment and then said, “Originally, they were in the shadows while we were in the open. Now that Junior Brother Wu is one of our own, it’s become us in the shadows while they are in the open. We can keep Junior Brother Wu’s identity hidden for now, contact them first, and then secretly make arrangements to wipe them out in one fell swoop.”
Zhu Qingshan didn’t say anything, but turned to look at Wu Lingfeng. Wu Lingfeng thought for a moment before speaking, “I’ve heard of the Jia family; they’re very powerful. It doesn’t seem like Master would benefit from breaking ties with them now, right? So, I think we don’t need to do anything special. We just need to let the Jia family know that their plan has been exposed. Master can directly announce my becoming their disciple. That way, they’ll know that you already know about their plan, and they’ll naturally behave themselves. Because by announcing this directly, you’re also telling them that you don’t want to break ties with them. I think they’ll understand that. What do you think, Master?
” After listening to Wu Lingfeng’s words, he frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Lingfeng, what you said makes sense. The Jia family is powerful. If we break ties with them, it won’t do us any good. So we can’t break ties with them. We should just announce that you are my disciple. The Jia family should understand that I know their plan, and they will naturally behave themselves. Otherwise, if they don’t behave, I’m not afraid of them. Right now, the sect still has a major enemy. The Flame Pirate Gang is still eyeing the sect covetously. They won’t let go easily.” “Those from the sect have suffered a great loss at our hands, and they will definitely come for revenge. At this time, the sect must remain stable. This is what the Supreme Elder and the Sect Master have both requested. If we clash with the Jia family at this time, we will certainly be punished. Therefore, it’s best if everyone understands this matter and avoids direct conflict.”
Wu Lingfeng and Wu Changling both responded. Zhu Qingshan then said, “Alright, you can go back now.” The two responded, then bowed to Zhu Qingshan in unison before leaving his study.
Once outside the study, Wu Lingfeng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wu Changling and said, “Senior Brother Wu, I’ll be leaving now. From now on, we’re fellow disciples, and I’ll pretend what happened before never happened.”
Wu Changling was actually relieved. Otherwise, if his enmity with Wu Lingfeng deepened, it wouldn’t benefit him at all. So he nodded and said, “Alright, let’s pretend what happened before never happened. Junior Brother, please come. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. We’re fellow disciples, it’s only right that we look after each other.”
Wu Lingfeng responded, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wu Changling again, and then turned and flew away. Wu Changling followed him. At this moment,
Zhu Qingshan immediately summoned a servant to his room. After the servant entered, Zhu Qingshan said directly, “Spread the news that I’ve accepted Wu Lingfeng as my disciple in a moment, so everyone knows that Wu Lingfeng is my disciple.” The servant responded, then bowed to Zhu Qingshan before turning and leaving.
Meanwhile, Wu Changling returned to his courtyard and let out a long sigh of relief. He then said, “Changfeng, Changfeng, come out for a moment.” Wu Changfeng had been cultivating here with them for some time and had made quite rapid progress.
Wu Changfeng quickly came out of the room, looking at Wu Changling with some confusion. “Brother, is something wrong?”
Wu Changling said, “There’s something I need to tell you. Today, Master accepted Wu Lingfeng as his disciple. Wu Lingfeng is now my junior brother. Master also told him not to bring up our past conflicts anymore, so you don’t need to worry about Wu Lingfeng anymore.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He immediately said, “Really? That’s great!” Wu Changfeng had actually been regretting his actions for a long time. The stronger Wu Lingfeng became, the more he regretted it. He worried that one day Wu Lingfeng would become even stronger and kill him, and even Wu Changling wouldn’t be able to avenge him. Now, hearing that Wu Lingfeng had become Wu Changling’s junior brother and their grudges were resolved, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Changling’s face darkened as he looked at him, and he said, “There’s something else I need to tell you. Don’t cause me any more trouble. Do you know how serious this is? It almost implicated Master. If you dare to cause trouble again, I’ll break your legs myself.”
Wu Changfeng was taken aback, then quickly replied, “Yes, brother, don’t worry, I definitely won’t cause any more trouble. But brother, how could such a small matter affect the Hall Master?”
Wu Changling sighed and said, “It’s best you don’t know about this. Someone wanted to use this to attack Master, but thankfully it’s been resolved.”
Wu Changfeng nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. Wu Changling waved his hand and sent him back to his room.
After Wu Changfeng returned to his room, Wu Changling thought for a moment and decided to visit Wu Lingfeng the next day, bringing Wu Changfeng along, to formally apologize and present a gift. That way, the matter would be completely resolved.
Meanwhile, news of Wu Lingfeng officially becoming Zhu Qingshan’s disciple spread throughout the sect. The Jia family, of course, also received this news. The Jia family members weren’t stupid; they immediately realized that Zhu Qingshan probably already knew about their plan to use Wu Lingfeng to deal with Zhu Qingshan. Since Zhu Qingshan hadn’t come to them or concealed Wu Lingfeng’s identity, it meant that Zhu Qingshan didn’t want to break ties with their family. However, their family couldn’t remain silent, since they had made the first move, and they had to show some reciprocation. The Jia family did indeed show their reciprocation. They had the original deputy head of the Transmission Hall resign and then appointed another member of the Jia family as the deputy head of the Transmission Hall.
It might seem that the Jia family suffered no loss, as the position of deputy hall master still belonged to them. However, this wasn’t the case at all. This situation couldn’t be viewed so simply. The Jia family had essentially bowed to Zhu Qingshan. Otherwise, how could a large family like the Jia family so easily replace someone as deputy hall master? Did they really think the Transmission Hall belonged to them? This replacement came at a great cost to the Jia family, and it was also a way of telling Zhu Qingshan, “We’ve replaced the person who was going to deal with you, and this matter is over.”
Zhu Qingshan, of course, understood the Jia family’s meaning. He immediately met with the Jia family’s new deputy hall master, and the two discussed the Transmission Hall’s affairs quite pleasantly. In this way, both sides understood that the matter was considered closed.
On the other hand, the next day, Wu Changling took Wu Changfeng to Wu Lingfeng’s cave. Wu Lingfeng had already brought Huo Lei and the others to his cave, officially making them his subordinates. So, when Wu Changling and his group arrived at Wu Lingfeng’s cave, they were surprised to see Huo Lei and his group. Wu
Lingfeng invited Wu Changling and Wu Changfeng to the living room of the cave. After the three were seated, tea was served. Wu Lingfeng waved for the tea server to leave. After the server left, Wu Changling said to Wu Lingfeng, “Junior Brother Wu, I brought my disappointing younger brother here today so he can apologize to you properly. He was wrong in the past; please forgive him.”
Wu Changfeng then walked up to Wu Lingfeng and… Wu Changfeng bowed and said, “Senior Brother Wu, I was wrong about what happened before. Please punish me.”
Wu Lingfeng reached out and helped Wu Changfeng up, then said, “Forget it, this matter is over. Let’s not mention it again. Senior Brother Wu, please don’t bring it up again.”
Wu Changling smiled and said, “Alright, then we won’t mention it again. Here, Junior Brother, consider this a small compensation. I hope you won’t find it offensive.” As he spoke, he took out a piece of metal and handed it directly to Wu Lingfeng.
Upon seeing the piece of metal, Wu Lingfeng was taken aback, then asked, “Is this Dark Jade Iron?”
Wu Changling smiled and said, “Junior Brother has a good eye. This is indeed a piece of Dark Jade Iron. I obtained it by chance, so I’m giving it to you.”
Wu Lingfeng didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wu Changling and said, “Junior Brother is currently refining his own magic weapon, so I won’t stand on ceremony. Thank you, Senior Brother.” Seeing that Wu Lingfeng accepted it, Wu Changling was relieved. This meant that the matter was completely over, and he felt at ease. He said to Wu Lingfeng, “Junior Brother, you’re too kind. By the way, Junior Brother, I see you suddenly have so many more people here? What? Did he take these people as his subordinates?”
Wu Lingfeng nodded and said, “Yes, I met them at the Qingmu Sect during the last mission. For the needs of the mission, I brought them into the sect, making them outer disciples. Now I’ve taken them as my subordinates.”
Wu Changling hesitated for a moment, then… Then he spoke, “Junior brother, I have something to say, though it’s not a matter of whether it’s appropriate to say it or
not.” Wu Lingfeng quickly replied, “Senior brother, there’s no need to be so polite, please speak.”
Wu Changling nodded and said, “Then I’ll say it. Junior brother, you should still focus on cultivation right now. You’ve taken in so many subordinates all at once, and you still have to assign them tasks. This will affect your cultivation. You can take care of them, but directly taking them in as subordinates is indeed somewhat inappropriate.”
Wu Lingfeng knew that Wu Changling was sincere, and he couldn’t help but smile and say, “Thank you for reminding me, senior brother. I discussed this matter with Master beforehand, and Master agreed. The reason I took them in as subordinates is actually for a reason. My cultivation speed is so fast because of some other reasons, and they are for experimentation. If the experiment succeeds, then the entire sect can use my cultivation method. If it fails, then they might…” (End of this chapter)
