My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 694: Chapter 694: Bullies the Weak and Fears the Strong

"Could it really have been my mother?" Yang Qi’s heart clenched. Should he go to the Wu Family and see for himself?

However, at that moment, news from Huang Borren arrived.

"Boss, we’ve found out. The Wu Family of Sea City is truly pathetic. Their family has always adopted a cautious style; in layman’s terms, they’re experts at turtling up! This time, they had a conflict with the Black Evil Sect from the Western Territory and completely chickened out. The Black Evil Sect’s demands were excessive—they wanted a hundred men and one billion Dragon Coins. And the Wu Family actually agreed. According to our reliable sources, the reason they want to bring you back is to hand you over to the Black Evil Sect to settle their debt. Those people are truly disgusting." Huang Borren was so furious that a stream of profanities escaped him.

"No wonder," Yang Qi said, a cold laugh escaping his lips. "I was wondering why they suddenly came looking for me after all these years. So, they want to send me to my death. How despicable." He felt a wave of revulsion. How could such people exist in this world? It was simply unacceptable.

"What about Wu Rouman?" Yang Qi asked.

"Wu Rouman is said to be dead, but no one knows how," Huang Borren replied. "She seems to be a taboo topic in the Wu Family. Even the servants call her nothing but a curse."

"She’s really dead?" Yang Qi felt a pang of disappointment. Regardless of whether she was his mother, he had truly wanted to meet her. What a pity.

"By the way, Wu Rouman had a younger sister named Wu Rouyun, who is in her thirties now. In the entire Wu Family, she was the only one who spoke up for you and disagreed with sending you to your death. It’s said she and Wu Rouman were very close," Huang Borren added.

"Wu Rouyun, huh?" Yang Qi mused. "So there’s at least one person with a conscience. Keep an eye on her for me and let me know immediately if anything happens."

"Understood!" With his report finished, Huang Borren left.

Yang Qi sighed. He had no interest in the Wu Family, but he did want to meet Wu Rouman and Wu Rouyun. Everyone said Wu Rouman was dead, but even if she was, shouldn’t there be a grave? According to Huang Borren’s information, however, there was nothing. The whole situation was bizarre.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Li Qingyan. "Yang Qi, those people from the Wu Family are here again! What should we do?"

Yang Qi sneered. "Tell them I’ll be right over." He was furious. They hadn’t looked for him in over twenty years, only to suddenly appear wanting to send him to his death, all while putting on a fake pretense. It was disgusting. He needed to vent.

The moment he saw Wu Chuan, Yang Qi didn’t wait for him to speak. He strode forward and sent the man flying with a single kick. He then walked over, pinned Wu Chuan to the ground with his foot, and said coldly, "Crawl back and tell the Wu Family that I have nothing to do with them. Tell them to stop harassing my friends, or they shouldn’t blame me for being merciless. I won’t kill you this time, but if I see you again, you’re dead. Now, get lost!"

Wu Chuan was terrified. From the moment Yang Qi attacked, he knew this was no ordinary person—he had to be a Martial Arts Grandmaster! Wu Chuan himself was a Martial Arts Master, yet he had been defeated in a single blow. It was only natural to assume Yang Qi was at least a Martial Arts Grandmaster. He didn’t dare imagine that Yang Qi could be a Martial Arts Overlord, let alone a Cultivator.

After escaping, Wu Chuan wiped the blood from his mouth. "That kid is tougher than he looks. This is no good. I’ll have to ask the family for some real experts, or we won’t be able to handle him. Since he won’t do this the easy way, we’ll have to use force."

"That’s our only choice!" the others agreed.

Meanwhile, Li Qingyan saw that Yang Qi was in a bad mood and invited him for tea. The atmosphere in the teahouse was quite pleasant, and Yang Qi’s mood gradually calmed down. He told her what had happened.

Li Qingyan became furious. "Those bastards! What kind of relatives are they? They’re worse than animals! You did the right thing. Don’t go back. Absolutely do not go back."

"Why are you more upset than I am?" Yang Qi asked with a wry smile.

"Because they’re being such bullies!" Li Qingyan said, seething.

"Alright, alright, let’s just drink our tea," Yang Qi said, his wry smile returning. "Don’t get worked up over people who don’t matter." In the end, he was the one comforting her.

After tea, Yang Qi took Li Qingyan home before driving back alone to White Mountain Estate. He was being followed the entire way. Yang Qi noticed but paid them no mind.

Standing at the gate of White Mountain Estate, Wu Chuan was momentarily stunned. "Heh," he sneered. "So the kid’s a security guard here, and on the night shift, no less. And he turned down ten million? Who’s he trying to fool?" Wu Chuan was certain that Yang Qi couldn’t possibly own such a massive estate. It had to belong to someone else, and Yang Qi was just the hired help.

"Brother Chuan, should we really do this? Shouldn’t we wait for Young Master Wu Jun?" one of his men asked.

"You know nothing!" Wu Chuan scolded, smacking the man on the head. "If Young Master Wu Jun gets here, we won’t get any of the credit! Since that Yang fellow prefers the hard way, we’ll give it to him. The kid’s got some moves, but with more than a dozen of you, taking him down will be a piece of cake, right?"

"He’s right! No credit means no reward. We can’t let that happen!" the men grew anxious.

"Remember," Wu Chuan instructed, "get in, grab Yang Qi, and get out. Don’t cause any other trouble." With a wave of his hand, he sent his dozen or so men sneaking into White Mountain Estate.

The moment they stepped inside, however, they found themselves surrounded. A large group of people had them cornered at the gate. The man in the lead was none other than the Wolf King. The others were his Wolf Guards.

The Wolf Guards had been in focused Cultivation at White Mountain Estate recently and had progressed with incredible speed. Now, every single one of them was a Great Grandmaster—a remarkable achievement. The Wolf King himself had already become an Overlord-level powerhouse. This was Yang Qi’s personal guard, a force he was meticulously training. It didn’t matter if their innate aptitudes were lacking; Yang Qi had plenty of Spirit Pills and other miraculous medicines to enhance them. The unit had grown from its original seventy-two members to one hundred Wolf Guards. Including the Wolf King, they numbered one hundred and one. The force was divided into squads of ten, each led by a captain who was now a First-Rank Overlord. The Wolf King himself had already reached the Third-Rank Overlord level.

This was the group that now surrounded Wu Chuan and his men. Before a single punch was thrown, the terrifying aura alone was enough to make them collapse to their knees, trembling uncontrollably.

"Break their arms and legs and throw them out," the Wolf King ordered.

In the next instant, the pack of wolves descended, and a series of agonized screams echoed through the air.

After the intruders were dealt with, Lei Tingjun called the Heavenly Supervision Hall to have the trash hauled away. If the Wu Family wanted these men back, they would have to make a sizable donation to the Star Shining Society. The Society was expanding rapidly, and so was its need for capital; they couldn’t pass up an opportunity to secure more funds. If the Wu Family wanted their men back, they would have to pay. Not wanting them back wasn’t really an option—not if the family wanted to save face.
