Bringing the farm to another world
Chapter 16000 Grudges
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 should be done about this?"
Wu Changling thought for a moment, then said, "Originally, they were in the dark while we were in the light. Now that Junior Brother Wu is one of our own, we are in the dark while they are in the light. We can keep Junior Brother Wu's identity from being exposed, 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 seems like there's no benefit in breaking ties with them now, Master. So, I think we don't need to do anything. We just need to let the Jia family know that their plan has been exposed. Master can just announce my becoming their disciple. That way, they'll know that you 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?"
Zhu Qingshan frowned and thought for a moment after hearing Wu Lingfeng's words. Then he 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 the sect off easily. After all, they 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 definitely be punished. So it's best if everyone understands this matter and we don't directly clash."
Wu Lingfeng and Wu Changling both responded, and Zhu Qingshan then said, "Alright, you can go back now." The two responded, then bowed to Zhu Qingshan in unison before leaving his study.
When the two arrived 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 that what happened before never happened."
Wu Changling was actually relieved. Otherwise, if his enmity with Wu Lingfeng had deepened, it would have been of no benefit to him. So he nodded and said, "Alright, let's pretend that the past never happened. Junior brother, please. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. We are fellow disciples, and it is only right that we look after each other."
Wu Lingfeng responded, then bowed to Wu Changling once more before turning and flying away. Wu Changling followed him. Meanwhile, Zhu Qingshan summoned a servant to his room.
After the servant went inside, Zhu Qingshan immediately said, "Spread the word that I have accepted Wu Lingfeng as my disciple in a moment, so that 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. He looked at Wu Changling with some confusion and asked, "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 Wu Changling's words, Wu Changfeng was taken aback, then overjoyed. He immediately exclaimed, "Really? That's wonderful!" 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, leaving even Wu Changling unable to avenge him. Now, hearing that Wu Lingfeng had become Wu Changling's junior brother and their feud was resolved, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Changling looked at him and his face darkened. He then said, "There's something else I need to tell you. Don't cause me any more trouble in the future. Do you know how serious this incident was? It almost implicated Master. If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll break your legs myself."
Wu Changfeng was taken aback, then he quickly said, "Yes, brother, don't worry, I will definitely not cause any more trouble. But brother, how could such a small matter affect the hall master?"
Wu Changling let out a sigh of relief, and then said, "It's better if you don't know about this matter. Someone wanted to use this to attack Master, but fortunately, the matter has been resolved now."
Wu Changfeng responded and didn't ask any more questions. Wu Changling then waved his hand and told him to go 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. This would be considered a complete resolution to the matter. Meanwhile, news of Wu Lingfeng officially becoming Zhu Qingshan's disciple spread throughout the sect. The Jia family, of course, also received this news. They weren't fools; they immediately realized that Zhu Qingshan probably already knew about their plan to use Wu Lingfeng against him. The fact that Zhu Qingshan hadn't come to them or concealed Wu Lingfeng's identity meant that he didn't want to break ties with them. However, the Jia family couldn't remain silent, as they had acted first. They did indeed show their support by having the original deputy head of the Transmission Hall resign and appointing another member of the Jia family as the new deputy head.
It might seem that the Jia family hasn't suffered any losses, as the position of deputy hall master still belongs to them. However, this isn't actually the case. This matter shouldn't be viewed that way. The Jia family has essentially bowed down to Zhu Qingshan. Otherwise, how could a large family like the Jia family casually replace someone as deputy hall master? Do they really think the Transmission Hall belongs to them? This replacement will come at a great cost for them. At the same time, it's also a way of telling Zhu Qingshan that they've replaced the person they were going to use against him, and that this matter is over.
Zhu Qingshan understood the Jia family's meaning, and he went directly to meet the Jia family's new deputy hall master. The two chatted about the Transmission Hall, and the conversation went quite well. In this way, both sides understood each other, and the matter was considered over.
On the other hand, the next day, Wu Changling took Wu Changfeng to Wu Lingfeng's cave. At this time, Wu Lingfeng had already brought Huo Lei and the others to his cave, officially making them his subordinates. So when Wu Changling and the others arrived at Wu Lingfeng's cave, they saw Huo Lei and the others, which surprised Wu Changling.
Wu Lingfeng invited Wu Changling and Wu Changfeng to the living room of the cave dwelling. After the three of them were seated as host and guest, tea was served. Wu Lingfeng then waved his hand, dismissing the person who served the tea. After the person left, Wu Changling said to Wu Lingfeng, "Junior Brother Wu, I brought my good-for-nothing brother here today so that he can apologize to you properly. He was wrong in the past, and I ask that you forgive him."
Wu Changfeng then walked up to Wu Lingfeng and bowed to him, saying, "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, let's not bring this up again."
Wu Changling smiled and said, "Alright, then we won't mention this matter again. This is for you, Junior Brother, as a small compensation. I hope you won't find it offensive." With that, he took out a piece of metal and handed it directly to Wu Lingfeng.
Wu Lingfeng was taken aback when he saw the piece of metal, and 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 put it away immediately. He then 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 had accepted the gift, Wu Changling was relieved. This meant that the matter was completely over, and he was at ease. He said to Wu Lingfeng, "Junior Brother, you're too kind. By the way, Junior Brother, I see that you suddenly have so many more people here? What's wrong? 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 sake of the mission, I brought them into the sect and made them outer disciples. Now I've taken them under my command."
Wu Changling hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Junior brother, I have something to say, but it's not a matter of whether it's appropriate to say it or not."
Wu Lingfeng quickly said, "Senior brother, please don't be so polite, please speak."
Wu Changling nodded and said, "Then I'll say it, junior brother. Right now, you should focus on cultivation. 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 a bit 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 had already spoken to Master about this beforehand, and Master agreed. There's a reason why I wanted to take them as my subordinates. My cultivation speed is so fast because of 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 Chapter)
