Mushroom Man

Chapter 52: A Great Start, a Small End, the Holy Envoy

"Okay, okay, I'll leave. I'll leave right now..."

Wu De was kicked hard, his stomach was churning, and he almost vomited out the food he had eaten the night before.

The rage in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

He would report everything that happened in Chunxiang Tower today to the clan leader in great detail and with exaggeration.

He wanted to see what ability the abbot's son had to make the patriarch compromise.

The Wu family is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone. Even if it is not as good as the Songzi Temple, they will never tolerate such humiliation.

It would be fine to bully the children of the branch family on a normal basis. After all, the branch family is nominally a member of the Wu family, but in reality they are just a group of lowly slaves.

But now, the son of the abbot actually dared to bully him, a noble descendant of the clan. This is intolerable!
"let's go……"

Wu De gritted his teeth and asked the group of Wu family mushroom masters to leave.

Not long after, Chef Wu Jiagu from Chunxianglou left without a trace.

"Ah, why is this necessary?"

Seeing this, Yan Wuxin couldn't help but sigh.

Now that the Wu family is missing from the Tianjiao Banquet, his original intention has undoubtedly been greatly reduced.

"Brother Yan, why are you sighing?"

"Don't spoil my fun..."

Wu Liang hugged Yan Wuxin and handed him the drink.

Yan Wuxin's body froze, and he had no choice but to put on a smile and drink the wine in the glass.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the venue returned to normal.

The dancers continued to play music and dance, and the mushroom masters were having a great time, toasting each other, as if nothing had happened just now.

It was not until this time that Wu Liang took out the mushroom recipe and talked to everyone about the Wuxiang inheritance.

They listened to the music and exchanged tips with each other.

Yan Wuxin had made preparations in advance and brought many Taoist mushroom refiners to the banquet, so they were able to tell whether the mushroom recipes were genuine or fake on the spot.

It’s a pity that all these mushroom recipes are fake, and no matter how you identify them, it’s useless.

For a moment, everyone was puzzled and could not figure out the deep meaning of the test of 'Formless Will'.

In the end, it was Yan Wuxin who thought of the key point and realized that Mushroom Fang was most likely a trick given by the "Formless Will".

This test is not that simple, and maybe it is not about distinguishing the type of mushrooms.

In this situation, everyone unanimously decided to go to the Nine-story Bronze Tower again tomorrow to see if they had missed any clues.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night.

Yan Wuxin and the others said goodbye and left, and the Tianjiao Banquet ended rather anticlimactically.

The reason for such carelessness is obviously inseparable from Wu Liang.

Yan Wuxin's original intention was to let the three families unite with Songzi Temple to jointly share the cake of Wuxiang inheritance.

Wu Liang naturally did not want to see the three families and the Songzi Temple having fun together and wearing the same pants.

Therefore, taking advantage of Wu De's incident, the Tianjiao Banquet was completely disrupted and ended abruptly.

"belch……"

"Yan Wuxin is not a simple guy..."

"He planned the Tianjiao Banquet with great fanfare, but after Master Wu left, nothing was accomplished."

"This person must have seen that I had no sincerity in uniting the three companies, so he only exchanged the mushroom recipe and didn't discuss anything else."

Wu Liang was drunk and staggering.

The dancers at Chunxianglou quickly supported him and took him back to the guest room to rest.

Eighteen bronze men stood guard outside the door and did not allow anyone to approach.

Originally, the proprietress of Chunxianglou wanted to bring her daughter in to have a good chat with Wu Liang, but seeing this, she had to give up.

After everyone left the guest room, the drunken Wu Liang gradually sobered up. "Luckily, I had the wine mushroom with me. I secretly poured all the wine I drank into the wine mushroom."

"Otherwise, I would have gotten that androgynous guy Yan Wuxin drunk."

Wu Liang opened the window and felt the evening breeze, and he instantly felt much more energetic.

He squinted his eyes, looked in the direction of the Wu family's land, and muttered to himself imperceptibly.

"I hope I didn't make a wrong move."

"The next step is to see whether Chief Wu will act as I expected and take the bait..."

……

At the same time, the Wu family land.

"Lord Patriarch!"

"You have to make the decision for me..."

"That lecherous monk Sekong from the Temple of Childbirth is really going too far!"

"Not only did he humiliate me in public, he also demanded a thousand drops of silver as compensation."

"They even demanded that you, the clan leader, hand over the fourth-rank slave inheritance and apologize to him!"

"Master Clan Leader, are we just going to swallow our anger and agree to that lecherous monk?"

Wu De knelt on the ground, crying and sobbing.

His face was full of grievance, and he told the story of everything that had happened in Chunxianglou, adding fuel to the fire.

Clan leader Wu stood up suddenly from his armchair with a gloomy face.

"That's unreasonable!"

"If what you said is true, De'er, then this Sekong is really going too far."

"Does this guy think that just because he's the abbot's son, he can treat my Wu family as a soft persimmon and manipulate them at will?"

Patriarch Wu was furious. He really didn't expect that Sekong didn't give the Wu family any face at all.

You know, even Abbot Shanren only suppressed the three families in secret, unlike Sekong who made a scene in public and brought shame to the Wu family.

He was a fourth-rank mushroom master after all, but this guy didn't take him seriously at all and even tried to extort money from him!
"If it were Master Wen and Master Wu, it would be fine if I spoke to you like this."

"That Sekong is just a useless piece of shit with empty qualifications. How dare he be so presumptuous?"

"Even Abbot Shanren doesn't dare to ask for my Fourth Rank Slave Dao inheritance. This guy is really too whimsical."

Clan leader Wu had a frosty expression on his face, and he had even made plans to discuss the matter with Abbot Shanren.

But at this moment, Wu De seemed to remember something and quickly took out a mushroom from his sleeve.

This mushroom is none other than the second-level paper crane mushroom!
"Master, this is the mushroom that the lecherous monk Sekong secretly gave me."

"He said that when the clan leader sees this, he will naturally agree to his request."

Wu De said this, but his face showed disdain for it.

He didn't believe that with the tribe leader's temperament, he would suffer such a loss just for a mushroom and be willing to pay for the inheritance of the fourth level of slavery.

as predicted……

When Chief Wu heard this, he was so angry that he laughed out loud.

"Who does this kid think he is?"

"Even if the Jade Emperor came, I would still go find Abbot Shanren and have him teach this ignorant fellow a lesson."

Chief Wu took the mushrooms in disbelief, wanting to see what confidence this daring fellow had to blackmail him.

However, when he opened the paper crane mushroom and saw what was inside, his expression changed instantly.

There were only a few lines of large characters written here and there...

"The filth comes from the Nine Heavens Revelation, and the Holy Religion will rise once it appears."

"Tomorrow at the Nine-story Bronze Tower, the Holy Church's special envoy will deliver a message."
