Wu Yang let out a hum and said, "No big deal. My big brother Wandong treats me so well. He deserved my death for him."
"Very well said!" Wandong said in appreciation. He took Wu Yang into his arms with sparkles of satisfaction popping up in his eyes.
Nevertheless, Wandong was still doubting the propriety of doing so. He asked, "But Wu Yang, are you truly willing to disown your father for my sake?"
Wu Yang' face darkened forthwith. He said with a wry smile, "Don't worry. It's likely I' ll end up bearing with a harsh beating by him to the maximum that he broke my legs. It'll soon be over as long as he vented his anger."
On hearing that, Leng Yuecui couldn't help but strike in with laughter, "Don't expect a fluke. Silly brat, I'm giving you a warning. This matter is different from anything else — it concerns the rules and regulations passed down from your ancestors. When it comes to that point, your father has no option but to beat you to death even if he doesn't have the heart to do that."
"No...It won't go to that extent..." Wu Yang started to stammer. Apparently, he got frightened by Leng Yuecui's warning, with his face turning exceedingly pale.
Wandong nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I agree with Leng Yuecui. Your father might not be able to deal with it of his own free will."
"Ah?!" Finding their analysis fairly plausible, Wu Yang let out a startled cry. Not until just now did the rules of his family come into the picture. In a minute, cold sweats were all over him.
Seeing Wu Yang get dreadfully scared, Wandong didn't have the heart to rope him in. Before he prepared to soothe Wu Yang, the latter knitted his eyebrows tightly all of a sudden and appeared steadfast.
While Wandong was feeling bewildered, Wu Yang suddenly spoke with each syllable stressed, "If so, it couldn't be better. One finished, all is finished. Then there is no need for me to worry about anything."
It never came across the minds of Wandong and Leng Yuecui that Wu Yang boasted such admirable heroic spirit. On hearing his manifesto, Wandong and Leng Yuecui couldn't help looking at each other and only to find sparkles of amazement flash in the eyes of one another.
Leng Yuecui was much more affected by Wu Yang's attitude. The prior contempt in her eyes totally disappeared when she looked back at Wu Yang. She thought to herself, "Was I mistaken? It was fair enough that Xu Yaoting shocked me with his outstanding talent. But now his tagalong — Wu Yang is equally surprising. Based on his faith and virtues, I can see the making of a great success in him."
While Leng Yuecui was marveling at Wu Yang's loyalty and courage, Wandong burst into a wave of laughter.
Being confused by Wandong's laugh, Leng Yuecui raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with you? How come you still have to heart to laugh at this moment? Don't you know he might have to die for you because of his implication in this matter?"
Wandong contained his laughter and reached out his hand to press Wu Yang's shoulder. He responded loudly, "I'm a stickler for one principle in getting on with people — I shall never implicate my friends, and it's still the case with Wu Yang."
"But you've already there...Any chances to quiet down Wu Jinhun and make him let go of you?" Leng Yuecui asked in confusion.
"Of course! I can assure you that General Wu will not only spare me and Wu Yang but also thank us instead," Wandong said in a firm tone.
Leng Yuecui shook her head and said, "Xu Yaoting, this is the only morning now. It's way too early for you to have daydreams. Do you picture Wu Jinhun as a sock puppet for you to dupe?"
"Dupe? No, I've never thought about that," Wandong rebutted. Then he looked at Wu Yang and said in a firm tone with each syllable stressed, "Wu Yang, I'm gonna impart the genuine Star-Turmoil Techniques to you today."
No sooner had Wandong's voice faded away than Leng Yuecui and Wu Yang let out a simultaneous cry, "The genuine Star-Turmoil Techniques?" They gazed at one another, with their countenances teeming with bewilderment.
Wandong took no notice of their reactions and said to Wu Yang with his eyes fixed on the latter, "Wu Yang, do you know the reason why the Star- Turmoil Techniques created by your family can easily render warriors possessed by the devil at the last stage of cultivation?"
