Yuan Tianzun

  Chapter 64 House of Stars

   "The patriarch's words are serious."

  Wu Yuan smiled and said: "The Nanmeng Wu family, the seven branches are like a family, this is the ancestor's precept, taught by the elders since childhood, Wu Yuan dare not forget."

  Wu Mao is the patriarch of the big clan, and he bowed his head voluntarily, which has already given Tian great face.

  If Wu Yuan doesn't give face anymore, I'm afraid that not only the Wu clan, but also Gu Ji, Wu Xiong, and even the top Hengyun sect will misunderstand Wu Yuan after they know about it.

but.

  Wu Yuan said 'heavy words', but from the beginning to the end, he did not deny Wu Mao's proposal.

  Zongzhi change flag? Who can know the future?

   "Haha, Wu Yuan, this is the end of the ancestor worship, and then go to the family school and the backyard to take a look. Now that you are an elder, you must know the whole Wu family." Wu Mao said with a smile

  Wu Yuan couldn't refuse the kind invitation.

that's all.

  Wu Mao and Wu Yuan walked at the front of the team, followed by several elders of the Wu family, Wu Xiong, etc. They visited the Wu family mansion again, and even went to several 'streets' where a large number of Wu family members lived.

  Compared to the first visit

   This time, it’s not just a matter of flying around!

  Wu Mao introduced the Wu clan to Wu Yuan in detail, called out all the stewards of the Wu clan, saluted Wu Yuan, and confirmed the identity of the elders.

This scene.

  The people who followed were a little surprised. They could confirm that what Wu Mao said before was not a joke or perfunctory.

   Treat Wu Yuan as a real 'elder'.

  Since ancient times, only the name and the utensil can not be faked.

  Wu Mao's public confirmation of Wu Yuan's identity, rights and responsibilities with such great fanfare means that Wu Yuan will truly be able to mobilize Wu's resources.

  At least, no one in the Wu family dared to question his identity.

  After introducing the Wu family, Wu Mao welcomed Wu Yuan and his party to the 'restaurant' specially opened by the family.

Hospitality.

   Until the afternoon, Wu Yuan rejected Wu Mao's invitation to 'stay overnight', and the group left in a carriage.

  At the gate of Wu's mansion, looking at the shadow of the carriage going away.

   "Great Elder." Wu Mao turned his head and glanced at the Great Elder, as well as several other ordinary elders.

   "I'm afraid you are full of anger in your hearts, and you should have many doubts."

   "Go to the conference hall, I will explain clearly." Wu Mao said softly: "I believe that after listening, you will understand."

   Say it.

   Wu Mao was the first to enter the mansion.

  The elders looked at each other in dismay, and in the end it was the elder who followed first, and the other elders followed.

  ...On the return carriage.

   "My lord, did you receive the identity and the silver ticket of the elder of the Wu family?" Gu Ji sat on one side and said calmly.

   "Otherwise, what can I do?" Wu Yuan played with a stack of special gold tickets in his hand!

  One tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver.

   This stack of gold tickets seems to be small, but the face value of each is 'hundred taels', and the total value is actually equivalent to 20,000 taels of silver.

   "The result of today's trip may not meet the original intention of the young master." Gu Ji said lightly.

   "Uncle Ji can tell." Wu Yuan smiled: "However, I'm still a member of the Wu clan, so I can't go too far."

   "Since Wu Mao Clan is wise, let's wait and see, it's still a long time." Wu Yuan leaned back on the narrow car seat, closed his eyes and rested.

  An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Gu Ji's mouth, and he didn't ask any more questions.

  …

  Wu family, in the meeting hall.

  Many tribesmen were not eligible to enter, only the patriarch Wu Mao, the Great Elder and eight other elders gathered here.

   Several elders came here after hearing the news.

  In the hall, everyone looked at the patriarch Wu Mao.

   "Patriarch, we believe you, we didn't ask in front of the clansmen, now, we have to give an explanation." The elder said slowly.

   "The Great Elder is suddenly in a hurry." Wu Mao glanced over the crowd: "Presumably, the elders are also full of doubts in their hearts, and they want to know the truth even more anxiously."

   "I'll make a long story short."

   "I have received news from the high-level sect that Wu Yuan is not an ordinary special recruit disciple." Wu Mao said: "Everyone knows that ordinary special recruit disciples will eventually become second-rate masters."

  A group of elders couldn't help but nodded.

  Specially recruited disciples with extraordinary talents, the Hengyun Sect has as few as one or two, and as many as four or five every year, which is very rare.

   But want to become a first-class master? Equally difficult!

  Like the entire Nanmeng County, over the past few decades, there have been dozens of specially recruited disciples.

  And there are only dozens of first-class masters that have emerged in Nanmeng County over the past few decades.

   Could it be that all first-class masters are from specially recruited disciples?

   Unrealistic!

  Actually, according to Heng Yunzong's statistics, less than one-fifth of the specially recruited disciples eventually became first-class masters.

  In the Hengyun Sect, most of the first-class masters were born from a large number of high-level martial arts disciples and Yunwu Temple disciples.

  Of course, in terms of proportion alone, the probability of birth of a special recruited disciple is astonishing enough.

  As long as you don't become decadent and don't die halfway, you can at least become a second-rate master.

  It should be noted that even in the Yunwu Disciple Hall, only a tenth of all the disciples can become first-class masters in the end.

   "According to what the senior sect said, Wu Yuan has a great hope of becoming a top master." Wu Mao said solemnly: "There is even a glimmer of hope to become a master of the earth list."

   Shocked.

  Diban master? The elders of the Wu family couldn't believe it. Those peerless powerhouses were too far away for them, almost a myth.

  Grandmaster, you can establish a sect, establish a sect, and enshrine the territory.

   It's not a lie.

  Like Yuanhu Villa, it was created by the master of the Dibang "Yuanhu Old Man". It has monopolized the territory of the prefecture for decades and has a great reputation.

  Even if you only become a top player? It's scary enough, one person can fight against thousands of ordinary soldiers, and it's almost impossible for ordinary troops to trap them.

  As strong as Heng Yunzong, the one who has been stationed in Nanmeng Mansion all year round is only a top master.

   "Patriarch, I thought you were talking politely." The Great Elder couldn't help but said, "Who is that high-level person? Is the news reliable?"

   "Natural and reliable!"

   "This is a secret of the sect." Wu Mao swept his eyes and said solemnly: "Remember, don't leak what I said today. Once the Supervisory Hall finds out, you should know the guilt."

"clear."

   "It will definitely not be revealed." Several elders in the hall said in unison, and they finally understood why the patriarch did not explain publicly.

  Involving the Supervisory Hall, who dares to be careless?

   "Patriarch, even though that's the case, is your promise too much?" An old man in purple couldn't help but said, "The change of clan branch, what a big event, the patriarch never thought of discussing it with us?"

"yes!"

   "It's fine to give silver, but how can we give up the main sect?" The other elders couldn't help but nodded.

   This is what worries them the most.

  The Great Elder sat on one side without saying a word.

   "Stupid." A trace of disappointment flashed in Wu Mao's eyes: "Can't you see that? Wu Yuan came here today to quarrel with the master."

  Many elders couldn't help but be astonished when they heard the words.

   "Zong branch change flag?"

  Wu Mao shook his head and sighed: "A title of 'Master Sect' that is difficult to be called a big clan in Nanmeng, you regard it as a treasure, but Wu Yuan only regards it as a burden."

   "I got news. I checked Wu Yuan's file overnight."

"He is not a person who is not polite, and judging from the past, he is extremely important to the family. Why is it so in the main sect? It's all done on purpose." Wu Mao said: "If we miss Wu Yuan, my Nanmeng Wu family will lose the true identity. opportunity to rise."

   "The name of a master."

   "If Wu Yuan becomes a top player in the future, if he wants to take it, is it possible that we can keep it? If he doesn't become a top player, he won't be able to take it away even if he wants to." Wu Mao said softly.

  Many elders could not help but fall into deep thought.

   "What Wu Yuan wants, we will give."

"What he doesn't want, we also have to give, not only to give, but also to take the initiative." Wu Mao said slowly: "The purpose is to tie him to my Wu's chariot, so that he can't get rid of him even if he wants to. "

  There was no sound in the hall.

   "As for your worries about the Licheng Wu family swallowing the big with the small?"

   "Simply Stupid!"

   "Once Wu Yuan takes power at a high position in the sect, if the Wu clan in Licheng wants to expand, they will inevitably move, and the first choice is Nanmeng City." Wu Mao said: "How many clansmen does the Wu clan have in Licheng? How many clansmen are there in my main clan?"

   "Wu Yuan will employ people in the future, it is impossible to only use people from the Wu family in Licheng."

   "After two or three generations, can they be separated from each other?"

   "With one stroke, I can't write two Wus. What I said to Wu Yuan is also to you." Wu Mao said softly.

   "But right now..." The elder still hesitated.

"Right now we are still the main sect. No matter how fast Wu Yuan cultivates, it will be a decade or two before he becomes a top master." Wu Mao shook his head and said: "Besides, even if it really becomes a branch, the branch of the wealthy clan is far more important than the so-called small clan. 'Master' is much stronger."

   There was silence, and there was no more objection.

   "Great Elder, what do you think?" Wu Mao's eyes fell on the Great Elder.

   "Patriarch, what you said is reasonable, but we are short-sighted, and everything will be done according to what you said. I only have one suggestion." The elder said slowly.

  Proposal? Wu Mao frowned slightly.

   "Let's increase the silver taels given to Wu Yuan every year by another 10,000 taels!" The Great Elder said, "Twenty thousand taels is a bit low."

   "Good!" Wu Mao frowned.

  …

   At dusk, Nanmeng Martial Academy, Guanghui Court.

  In the courtyard where Wu Yuan belongs.

   "Another 10,000 taels of silver bills have been sent? And there will be 30,000 taels every year in the future?" Wu Yuan was stunned, looking at the stack of silver bills that Gu Ji handed over.

  The 2,000 taels of gold issued by the head of the Wu family had already exceeded his expectations.

   Although the Wu family is much stronger than the Wu family in Licheng, there are more clan members and larger stalls, so there will only be more places to spend money.

  Thirty thousand taels of silver a year? Quite a lot!

   "This Wu Mao patriarch is unknown, and it seems that he has unified the opinions of the clan." Gu Ji said: "There are some methods and more courage. When you rise up, son, they will probably get ten times and a hundred times the benefits."

   "Let them wait first." Wu Yuan shook his head. "Uncle Ji, I'm going upstairs to practice first."

  Gu Ji nodded.

  He admired Wu Yuan very much for this.

  No matter when, no matter how the outside world praises him, Wu Yuan shows no signs of complacency, and he will practice alone when he has a little free time.

  In terms of hard work, Gu Ji is ashamed.

time flies.

  The night is getting darker.

  Gu Ji has been staying on the first floor, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in fact he has been vigilant all the time to prevent assassination by experts.

  As a bodyguard, even in the martial arts academy, he did not relax at all.

  But Gu Ji didn't notice.

  A phantom fell silently from the side of the pavilion.

   Immediately disappeared into the darkness.

  …

  Namco, there is no curfew.

  As a big city with a population of one million, it is naturally very lively at night, and a burly man is walking on the bustling Zhongda Street.

   "Assassin?"

   "The best assassin is the one who reaches the level of 'controlling the environment'." The burly man grinned, and his eyes fell on the majestic nine-story building in the distance: "The Stars Building."

   "Tsk tsk, this is a government-level star building, I hope you don't disappoint me."
