2007 Wu Family’s Regret 1
Master was willing to allow them to accompany him. They could follow him, protect him, and work under his guidance in the future.
In order to obtain the barrier array, Zimo had emerged victorious in the intermediate competition. Subsequently, he would assume the role of the Bai Clan’s patriarch, carrying the future of the clan on his shoulders. As a result, he couldn’t abandon his responsibilities and remain by Master’s side.
Zimo had always yearned to follow Master and be by her side the most, but he hadn’t expected this outcome.
“It’s alright. It’s sufficient for you to follow Master and protect him. I will take care of the Bai Clan,” Wu Zimo asserted.
Hong Fang shook his head subtly.
They had already severed ties with the Wu family, and Hong Fang wasn’t comfortable with Zimo returning to such a family. Leaving him alone within the Bai Clan would also cause unease. Despite Zimo’s status as the Tribe Chief, many individuals would be resentful, and he could potentially encounter hidden troubles.
After contemplating for a moment, Hong Fang spoke up, “I’ll stay by your side to assist you. Ziming and Huarong will protect Master.”
Wu Ziming and Fu Huarong exchanged glances before nodding in agreement.
Even if it meant sacrificing their lives in the future, they were determined to safeguard Master with utmost devotion.
With their decisions made, Gu Chaoyan ceased to interfere. However, she retrieved something and handed it to Wu Zimo.
“Take this. If you ever find yourself in an insurmountable crisis, and all hope seems lost, break it. I will sense it and bring Ziming and Huarong to your aid. Understand?”
“….”
“Although you’re not in the same place, you’re still my disciples. There’s no difference.”
Wu Zimo’s eyes were a little red.
He nodded. “Master, Zimo understands.”
“Same for Hongfang.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded. “Go back and get ready. I will leave in two days.”
The same night…
The night did not seem to be that long.
Although Hong Fang and Wu Zimo were determined to stay, because of the things Master gave them, they felt as if Master had always been by their side.
They were going to be with Master?
That night, no one slept, but they were all very happy.
Wu Zimo had intended to bring Hong Fang to the clan’s location early in the morning to meet with the Elder and discuss the upcoming succession ceremony. However, as he approached the door, they were confronted by members of the Wu family who blocked their path.
Originally, the Wu family had planned to visit the following day, but due to the news that Zimo was undergoing a breakthrough, their visit was postponed. Nevertheless, the Wu family persisted in their daily visits, and today was the day they finally arrived.
In addition to the head of the Wu family, Wu Zidao, Wu Tian, and a few elders from the Wu family accompanied them.
“Zimo, there is something I need to discuss with you. Let’s go inside and talk,” the head of the Wu family stated, leading the way.
Wu Zimo exchanged a glance with Hong Fang before following the Wu family’s head into the building.
Despite their attempts to conceal their visit today, they would likely return tomorrow. Given the circumstances, it was best to sit down and clarify everything.
Hong Fang nodded and followed behind them.
He was like an older brother to Zimo. Even after Zimo assumed the role of Tribe Chief, Hong Fang continued to support him, naturally standing up for him when needed.
As they entered the courtyard, Wu Zidao surveyed his surroundings.
