Mushroom Man

Chapter 80: Each with their own hidden agenda, the Wu family sets up a trap (Alliance Leader adds extra chapter)
"Then...we have a pleasant cooperation?"

"Pleasant to work with."

Wu Liang and Yan Wuxin smiled at each other, each with their own thoughts.

At this moment, no one knows what they are thinking.

"Before I knew it, the sun was almost setting."

Wu Liang looked up at the sky and pretended to be stunned.

"Clan leader Wu invited me to a banquet at the Wu family today, saying he wanted to ease the relationship between Wu De and me and turn hostility into friendship."

"I'm free anyway, so why don't you come with me, Brother Yan?"

Yan Wuxin frowned slightly when he heard this.

He hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this... isn't appropriate?"

"Clan leader Wu specially invited Master Sekong to the banquet, but did not mention me."

"It would be impolite of me to go there so rashly..."

Before he could finish his words, Wu Liang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Brother Yan is my friend of Sekong. If you want to go, just go. What else can he say?"

"Besides, Chief Wu is here to ease the relationship between me and Wu De."

"Brother Yan, you know my temper. If no one stops me, I'm bound to do something stupid when I'm drunk."

"Only if Brother Youyan acts as the peacemaker can I eat this meal."

Wu Liang had said this, and Yan Wuxin could no longer refuse, so he could only nod helplessly.

"In this case, I would rather be respectful than obey your orders."

Originally, Yan Wuxin had other plans. He was going to go back and try to inherit the Wuxiang inheritance again, so as to get the inheritance as soon as possible and sneak into Chencang.

At that time...

On the surface, the Yan family handed over the useless mushroom recipe to the Songzi Temple and became loyal "lackeys".

In secret, they secretly inherited the Wuxiang heritage.

In this situation, one in the light and the other in the dark, no one could suspect them.

However, Wu Liang's invitation caught him off guard, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.

At the same time, Wu Liang also had his own plans in mind.

This time, Chief Wu invited him to the banquet not really to ease the relationship between Wu De and him.

Instead, he contacted Chief Wu through the paper crane mushroom in advance to set up a trap.

Originally, there was no place for Yan Wuxin in this situation.

Now he invited Yan Wuxin to join him, but it was just a sudden idea that he wanted to drag him into the water.

"Right now, both the Wu and Wang families have entered my chessboard, except for the Yan family."

"It's a good opportunity to use this to get the Yan family involved, using Yan Wuxin's words to deceive me."

Wu Liang pondered in his heart, but his face remained expressionless, and he continued to chat and laugh with Yan Wuxin.

The two of them had their own thoughts and came all the way from Chunxianglou to the Wu family's land.

"It hasn't changed at all..."

Wu Liang looked at the familiar Wu family land, feeling filled with emotion.

"What hasn't changed?" Yan Wuxin couldn't help but ask curiously after hearing his whisper.

"Nothing, I just remember being imprisoned here before, with no one to turn to for help."

“It’s inevitable that I feel a little emotional when I revisit the old place.”

Wu Liang smiled and then strode into the Wu family's territory.

The eighteen bronze men led the way, and all the Wu family members who blocked the way, whether from the main family or the branch family, were pushed aside roughly.

Those Wu family members who were pushed down were about to curse, but when they looked up and saw that it was Wu Liang, their faces suddenly changed.

Others in Zhaodi Town may not recognize Wu Liang's face now, but every one of the Wu family mushroom masters knows him.

In an instant, without exception, they all fled in fear, tumbling and crawling back.

In this situation, Wu Liang seemed like a monstrous beast. Among these people, especially those with female relatives, they stayed away from him.

"Master Sekong, have you done something that angers heaven and man?"

"Why do these Wu family members seem to be afraid of you..."

Seeing this scene, Yan Wuxin had a strange expression on his face and couldn't help asking.

The thief-like looks from those Wu family members made him feel uncomfortable.

Wu Liang laughed and did not answer the question.

Not long after they walked, they heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from far away.

"Hahaha, my dear friend Sekong, my dear friend Yan, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you in person!"

"I have already prepared wine and food at home, and am waiting for you to take your place."

Chief Wu came out with a cane and walked briskly.

What's happening here?
Seeing this, Yan Wuxin's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

If he remembered correctly, hadn't Chief Wu always been the one who cared most about his reputation?
Why are you so polite to them youngsters today?

He even went so far as to come and greet her in person. Isn't this a bit too enthusiastic?

When Yan Wuxin thought of this, a bold guess emerged in his mind.

"Could it be that Chief Wu also wants to be a dog for the Temple of Childbirth?"

The Yan family wanted to serve as dogs for the Songzi Temple simply because they were appreciated by Wuxiang Yizhi and wanted to use this as a cover-up.

But looking at Chief Wu's current attitude, why does it feel like they want to get serious?

"Junior greets Chief Wu." Wu Liang saluted respectfully in a pretentious manner.

"I am truly flattered by the sarira mushroom that Patriarch Wu gave me earlier. I am deeply grateful."

Chief Wu laughed and waved his hand.

"It's just a sheli mushroom, not worth mentioning."

"Just consider it as De'er's apology for being rude and offending little friend Sekong."

"I have already severely criticized De'er. He is waiting inside the house."

"You are all juniors of the same age, there is no conflict that cannot be resolved."

"Young friend Sekong, please do me a favor and sit down and have a drink with me..."

As Chief Wu spoke, he led the two of them to the patriarch's mansion.

A table full of sumptuous food and wine had already been set up in the courtyard, with a wide variety of delicacies from land and sea.

Wu De stood aside uncomfortably, not daring to sit down casually.

When he saw Wu Liang and others coming in, he suddenly looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

It was obvious that if Chief Wu had not forcibly pulled him over, he would never have invited Wu Liang to drink.

What happened last time at Chunxianglou is still fresh in my mind...

When Wu De thought of this, his buttocks began to ache slightly.

"What are you still doing?"

"Why don't you quickly toast to Young Friend Sekong and Young Friend Yan?"

When Chief Wu saw Wu De's cowardly look, he immediately became furious and snorted coldly.

Wu De shuddered and quickly picked up the wine cup.

"Master Sekong, Young Clan Leader Yan, I have offended you before and have spoken rudely, disrupting the Tianjiao Banquet."

"Now that I've realized my mistake, I hope you two will put aside the past grudges and forgive my previous rudeness."

He spoke with aggrieved tone, his voice even choked with sobs.

No one knew how aggrieved he felt at this moment.

He really couldn't understand it. It was clearly he who was humiliated by Wu Liang first, but now he had to apologize again and again.

If it doesn't work once, you have to call the person home to apologize. This is not the way to bully someone!
