Mushroom Man

Chapter 53: The Patriarch Takes the Bait, Wu De Apologizes

"Holy, Holy Church Envoy?!"

Chief Wu stared at the paper crane in his hand, and a huge wave of emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

He came to his senses and without hesitation, tightened his fingers and the paper crane instantly turned into powder.

He would never allow any of the content to be leaked, otherwise he might be killed.

"Have you ever read the contents of this paper crane?"

Chief Wu quickly suppressed his thoughts and swept his eyes towards Wu De like a knife.

There was a hint of murderous intent in his words that was barely perceptible.

To him, the affairs of the Holy Church were far more important than a second-class genius.

If Wu De really peeked at the contents of the paper crane, even if he was the leader of this generation of the clan, the Wu clan leader would never show mercy.

"Master Patriarch, this is something entrusted to you. I wouldn't dare to peek at it even if I had ten guts."

"Is there something written on it?"

Wu De shook his head repeatedly, and couldn't help feeling a little curious.

What on earth was written on it that caused such a big reaction from the clan leader?

He had no idea that he had already walked through the gates of hell.

Now I even regret it secretly. If I had known this would happen, I should have taken a sneak peek when I came here...

"You'd better keep today's events to yourself and don't mention them to anyone."

When Chief Wu saw his expression, he knew that he had indeed not peeked, and his murderous intent gradually faded, and his tone softened a little.

"There's nothing for you to do here. Go down and prepare the silver water and send it to Sekong tomorrow morning."

When Wu De heard this, he was shocked and dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect that the patriarch's expression would change so quickly!
Just a moment ago, he vowed that even if the Jade Emperor came, he would never agree to Sekong's request.

But in the blink of an eye, his expression changed completely, as if what he had just said was all bullshit.

"Master Patriarch, you are confused!"

Wu De couldn't help but said anxiously, "That lecherous monk Sekong has gone too far. If we give in this time, how will the Wu family members hold their heads up in front of the other two families in the future?"

"Besides, given Sekong's character, if he succeeds this time, he will definitely become even more aggressive and demand more!"

"I hope the clan leader will think twice..."

Chief Wu snorted coldly, his tone somewhat displeased.

"It's not your turn to comment on my decision."

"Sekong is the son of the abbot and a noble person to my Wu family."

"Your audacious cousin imprisoned him and should have apologized. A thousand drops of silver water is already a bargain."

Having said that, Chief Wu paused, as if he remembered something.

"I heard that the young patriarch of the Yan family gave Sekong a second-level relic mushroom."

"If you are determined to be a young clan leader in the future, you can't let him outdo you."

"Didn't I give you a rank-two sheli mushroom a few days ago?"

"You haven't reached the second level yet, so you won't be able to use that second level relic mushroom for the time being."

"Tomorrow morning, take the Thousand Drops of Silver Water and the Relic Mushroom and go apologize to Sekong."

When Wu De heard this, he felt as if struck by lightning, and felt as if the sky... had collapsed!

He hadn't even warmed up the second-level relic mushroom yet, and now he was going to hand it over to that abominable Sekong!

Why?
Why is the patriarch's elbow bent outward!

He was filled with resentment, and a look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and wanted to argue a few more words.

However, when he saw the cold look in the patriarch's eyes, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and swallowed his words back in frustration.

"Master Patriarch, De'er knows."

"Early tomorrow morning, De'er will go and apologize to Master Sekong..."

Wu De spoke bitterly, then limped out, clutching his aching buttocks. He didn't dare blame the clan leader, so he took out his anger on his long-dead cousin.

Wu De's face was filled with frustration, and he cursed in his heart: "It's all the fault of that damn good-for-nothing cousin."

"Why did I provoke Sekong for no reason? If it weren't for him, how could I have suffered such an unexpected disaster!"

At the same time, Chief Wu watched Wu De leave, but his mind had already drifted to the four words "Special Envoy of the Holy Church".

He has been waiting for the Holy Envoy for ten years!
In the past ten years, he has been looking forward to Doctor Mo introducing him to the special envoy of the Holy Church so that he can have the opportunity to ascend to immortality.

However, over the years, Doctor Mo seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and never mentioned this matter.

Now, no one expected that Sekong would bring news about the Holy Church’s special envoy!

"Could it be that Sekong is also a member of the Holy Church secretly trained by Doctor Mo?"

“Start the day, let’s go!”

"If not, how would he know that I am related to the Holy Church?"

"Doctor Mo must have secretly won over Sekong in order to infiltrate the Temple of Childbirth and use it for our Holy Church."

"As expected of the Holy Church, they were able to quietly instigate even Abbot Shanren's own son to rebel."

Chief Wu’s imagination was spinning wildly, his heart filled with excitement.

"but……"

"If that's the case, why didn't Doctor Mo come to me in person, but instead asked Sekong to convey this through Wu De?"

"Wouldn't this unnecessary action only increase the risk of exposure?"

Chief Wu calmed down a little, and couldn't help but frowned when he thought of this.

Of course, although he had some doubts in his heart, he did not doubt the authenticity of the matter.

After all, since Sekong mentioned the Holy Church, he obviously knew the inside story and was one of them.

What he really doubted was whether there was another deeper meaning behind this matter.

Chief Wu pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so he had to suppress his thoughts for the time being.

"Well, there's no use thinking too much."

"Let's go take a look tomorrow and we'll know what's going on."

"No matter what, my chance to ascend to immortality has finally arrived!"

The next day...

Chunxianglou.

Wu Liang woke up early and took the eighteen bronze men to the nine-story bronze tower to keep his appointment.

As soon as he went out, he ran into Wu De, who had been waiting for a long time.

Wu De had not slept all night, his eyes were red and he had heavy dark circles under his eyes.

The moment he saw Wu Liang, he brought a group of mushroom masters from other families, slid to his knees on the ground, and kowtowed three times in succession.

"Master Sekong, I was wrong!"

"I was stupid yesterday and offended Master Sekong."

"The Patriarch has already severely criticized me and told me to seek your forgiveness."

"I have brought a thousand silver waters and a second-level relic mushroom as an apology to Master Sekong."

"I only ask Master Sekong to show some leniency, to let bygones be bygones, and to spare me this time."

Wu De lowered his head and his face flushed.

He raised his hands and reluctantly handed over the jade pot filled with silver water and a second-level relic mushroom.

This scene, performed in public, instantly attracted many people to watch the show.

These people recognized him as a member of the Wu family, and they whispered to each other and pointed at him.

When Wu Liang saw his expression, he understood and smiled slightly.

"It seems that Patriarch Wu has finally taken the bait..."
