Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

"Ugh!"

Seeing Yu Hongfei's erratic and insane state, Hua Mingzhu, wrapped in a blanket, sighed and shook her head.

Her son was originally a handsome and refined young man, but he became like this because of the torture he suffered in the dungeon by Jiang Chongyan and He Youchan, which made her feel both heartbroken and helpless.

If it weren't for her obsession with revenge, she wouldn't have lasted this long!

Taking a deep breath, Hua Mingzhu looked at the handsome and gentle-looking man in front of her and sincerely thanked him:

"Thank you, Luo'er, for saving me and your cousin from purgatory."

"Auntie, you're too kind."

The man said politely and modestly:

"My aunt and uncle treated me like their own son, so it's only right that I save you."

"It's such a pity... my uncle and cousin fell victim to that adulterous couple!"

After saying this, the man clenched his fists tightly, making his knuckles crack.

If Li Nian were here, she would definitely recognize this person.

This person is none other than himself.

It was none other than the third young master of the Hua family—

The flowers never fall!

The uncle-in-law mentioned by Hua Wuluo is Hua Mingzhu's husband, Yu Deren, the former head of Haoran Martial Arts School!

The Hua family of Qianhu County is a branch of the prominent Hua family of Yunmeng Prefecture, and they have been living here for nearly thirty years.

Hua Wuluo was the head of the Hua family of Qianhu. He was born to a prostitute and was of low birth. If it weren't for Hua Mingzhu and Yu Deren taking him in, he would have been strangled to death by his father's wives long ago.

Yu Deren and Hua Mingzhu treated him as their own son, teaching him martial arts and giving him alchemy.

Several years ago, after knocking on the Blood Gate, he was summoned back by the Hua family to do some thankless tasks.

Hearing Hua Wuluo's sincere words, Hua Mingzhu smiled wryly and said:

"If even a nephew can treat us like family, then my two brothers, who are born of the same mother, have completely ignored us after Deren's accident. They just watched as Jiang Chongyan and He Youchan, that illicit couple, seized the Yu family's hard work, causing Hongfei and me endless torment!"

As she spoke, Hua Mingzhu's eyes flashed with malice, and her tone was filled with resentment:

"The Hua family and that adulterous couple deserve to die!"

"Damn it!"

Hua Wulu did not respond.

He had absolutely no good feelings towards the Hua family either.

However, his current strength is not enough to put his grudges with the Hua family, Jiang Chongyan, and He Youchan on the table.

It requires enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens.

Hua Mingzhu knew it wasn't good to put pressure on Hua Wuluo, but suddenly remembered something and asked curiously:

"By the way, Luo'er, half a year ago you were only at the mid-stage of Blood Refinement. Why have you improved so much this time, managing to severely injure that rebellious disciple Su Jingheng who was practicing Tendon Refinement?"

Hua Wuluo had lived in her house since childhood and knew that he was mediocre. She and Yu Deren spent a lot of money to force him into the Blood Refining stage with pills.

After breaking through to the Blood Refinement stage, Hua Wuluo spent two and a half years before reaching the mid-stage of Blood Refinement.

Only half a year has passed, and Hua Wuluo was able to defeat Su Jingheng, who was practicing tendon cultivation, without any injury, which greatly shocked her.

Hua Wuluo's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's thought, she truthfully replied:

"To be honest, Aunt, Luo'er's rapid cultivation is all thanks to the eldest brother of my fellow disciples outside the sect."

Having said that, he looked at the boy keeping watch outside the door and said:

"Brother Hong!"

The boy called Xiao Hong turned around; it was Wu Hong!

Wu Hong jogged into the house and said shyly:

"Third Young Master... what are your orders, Brother Hua?"

"Brother Hong, don't be so reserved. These two are my aunt and cousin; they're all family."

"Hello, Aunt and Cousin."

Wu Hong scratched his head and greeted him awkwardly.

He has never been good at dealing with people.

Hua Mingzhu and Yu Hongfei, who had calmed down, nodded politely to Wu Hong, and then looked curiously at Hua Wuluo, wanting the latter to answer their questions.

Hua Wuluo took a deep breath and said with admiration in her eyes:

"I met my brother Hong's elder brother, Wu Changfeng, a month ago. He is a chivalrous and righteous man, but the things that happened to him were quite bizarre."

As she spoke, Hua Wuluo's tone became serious, and she said:

"Brother Wu's luck is incredibly good. He can earn money while strolling around the city, encounter hidden masters while wandering in the deep mountains, and even when he goes out in the rain, the dark clouds immediately disperse and the sky clears up."

"A month ago, Brother Wu wanted to celebrate the birthday of a friend surnamed Yi, so he specially invited me to go hunting in Qiyun Mountain to capture some precious beasts to boost my friend's blood energy."

"Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, several Snow Hares inexplicably fell down the mountain and rolled right to his feet."

"On his way out, he encountered an injured treasure-hunting rat. After Brother Wu bandaged the rat, it led him to a cave where he discovered the legacy of a swordsman from a previous dynasty."

"Brother Wu and I each have our own lineage, and since his friend is skilled in swordsmanship, I will pass on this lineage to him."

"My current level of cultivation and strength is also thanks to Brother Wu."

The exaggerated claims filled Yu Hongfei with suspicion.

Based on his understanding of Hua Wuluo, he couldn't possibly be lying to him, and exclaimed in surprise:

"I never imagined there could be such a person with such incredible luck in the world. If I have the chance someday, I will definitely meet them!"

Seeing Hua Wuluo and Yu Hongfei praising their elder brother so highly, Wu Hong felt a little embarrassed and said:

"My brother isn't as exaggerated as you imagine. A little over a month ago, he was just an ordinary person."

"Because he accidentally obtained a legacy in the mine, he suddenly became so lucky, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, as if he had divine assistance."

His elder brother had mentioned these words to Hua Wuluo, and he was present at the time, so there was no need for him to be shy.

Yu Hongfei pondered:

"Could it be that Brother Wu received some kind of inheritance related to destiny?"

"No!"

At this moment, Hua Mingzhu, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

Her face was solemn, her voice trembling, as if she had seen a figure from a mythological story, and she said:

"Heavenly secrets cannot be fathomed, and destiny cannot be seized."

"Fate is predetermined by Heaven, and nothing can reverse it. Even if you kill someone whose fate is against Heaven, you cannot take away their destiny."

"I once read a book called 'The Classic of Mountains and Seas of the Nine Heavens' at the Yunmeng Mansion. The book says: 'Opportunities will come naturally, good fortune will be sought and misfortune will be avoided, all things will be accomplished, and martial arts will be naturally perfected—'"

"The fortune teller!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

After a long pause, Wu Hong asked, puzzled:

"Aunt, if my brother is the one you call a man of destiny, why has he had no good fortune in the past twenty years?"

Hua Wuluo and Yu Hongfei had the same question.

Hua Mingzhu calmed the shock in her heart and explained:

"Destined children cannot coexist; only one can exist in the world. Only when one destined child dies can the next destined child inherit the destiny of Heaven."

"However, the power of destiny is sealed from childhood and does not enter the worldly fortune. Only by experiencing tribulations or encountering opportunities can the sealed fortune be completely unsealed."

"At that time—"

"It is the will of Heaven!"

"And all those who are near him will share in his glory!"

Wu Hong suddenly realized and said:

"No wonder my brother's luck started to improve after he received the inheritance. I was originally poor at martial arts and my comprehension was also lacking. But since then, I have been following my brother around and I feel that my thinking has become much clearer. After practicing martial arts for about a month, I was able to sense the Dao Qi and blood."

"I thought I had achieved enlightenment."

"So, it was all thanks to my elder brother!"

Hua Wuluo, who was standing to the side, also felt something.

Although he received the inheritance, his aptitude was lacking. Based on his past aptitude, it was impossible for his cultivation to have improved so quickly.

It must be related to Wu Changfeng.

At this moment, Yu Hongfei suddenly remembered something and said:

"Brother Luo, Brother Wu is so lucky, and he even has the Treasure-Seeking Rat! Please beg him to help me find the complete 'Righteous Fist Technique'!"
