569: Chapter 569: Overestimating Oneself!

Pleasing to the Eye and Touching!

Outrageous words!

Brimming with shame and indignation!

The chubby man’s face turned red with anger in an instant, and without waiting for his master to utter a word, he strode forward.

“Wu Jie, don’t get cocky!”

“Do you know who my master is?

In the provincial capital, he’s a person of status.

Even the richest tycoons have to show him some respect!”

“To invite you to spar with my master is a sign of respect for you.

Don’t be ungrateful and snub the gesture.

You really don’t know what’s good for you!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie didn’t get angry but laughed instead.

He turned around.

All he saw was the old Taoist’s face, red and swollen, eyes bulging as if he’d been constipated for a long time.

The four men from the Wei family exchanged glances, their expressions of shock and surprise a clear sign they’d been duped.

They definitely didn’t know that the old Taoist and the chubby man had come to settle a score with Wu Jie.

The so-called “sparring” was probably meant to teach Wu Jie a lesson.

That would make sense.

If someone really were of high status in the provincial capital, if they really were famous, they would care even more about their reputation.

If one couldn’t even protect their own disciple, wouldn’t that be embarrassingly shameful if word got out?

But Wu Jie was no longer an ordinary person, and they didn’t dare to act rashly for fear of being thrown into detention in mere minutes.

It’s said that place is filled with talented people, and they are oh so pleasant to speak with…

He smirked.

Wu Jie swept his cold gaze over the chubby man.

“Accusing me of not appreciating face?

Heh, if I really hadn’t offered you respect, I would have kicked you out long ago!”

“Your senior brother wanted to barge into this courtyard in the middle of the night, I didn’t kill him, that was already me being merciful!”

“The fact that you’re even allowed to stay in this courtyard today is because I’m in a good mood from my wedding, and I didn’t want to stoop to your level!”

He glanced coldly at the so-called Master Yu.

“As for you…saying I’m too cowardly and afraid to compete, like hell I’m full enough to bother comparing myself with you!”

“Who the hell do you think you are?

How great you think you are, that’s none of my damn business.

You can’t even manage your own disciple properly, and you have the cheek to strut around here?”

“What’s wrong?

Can’t take a few words against you, huh?

Aren’t you a master?

Do you even need to spar?”

“Why not set up an altar and perform a ritual, draw a circle and curse me?”

Seeing that everyone was silent.

Wu Jie snorted with laughter and looked off into the distance.

“Pan, see the guests out for me!”

“Roger that!”

Pan responded loudly and immediately brought people over.

They were the old man’s guards, belonging to the inner guard, all carefully selected from the entire army.

It is said.

In Zhongshan suit and flat-top haircut, those in black shirts and inner guard uniforms are masters.

The two men walked slowly towards the pavilion, their vigorous aura sufficient to intimidate the old Taoist.

And the previously boisterous chubby man instantly shut up.

The sight of Pan and the other man immediately set his heart racing.

“Crap!

There are important figures of the Wu family here; these bodyguards are not simple!

Time to get out of here!”

And those with bodyguards of such caliber were definitely immensely powerful.

How could they possibly provoke the Wei family?

The wise adapt!

Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, Wei Honghua turned and bolted.

The other three bosses, wily to the core, quickly followed suit, making a clean escape.

The chubby man’s legs turned soft.

As Pan and the other man approached, their waists were noticeably bulked with something.

What kind of bodyguards could carry a holster with them?

Moreover, their walk was steady and strong, their eyes fierce and sharp.

Maybe, just maybe, these were the legendary black-shirted bodyguards!

“Mas… Master!

Let’s get out of here, too!”

The chubby man’s legs trembled, his lips quivered, his gaze was frantic, and his whole body was shaking.

The old Taoist felt extremely stifled.

He intended to show off and slap Wu Jie in the face in front of Wei Honghua and company…

But who could have expected Wu Jie didn’t even care, leaving him with anger he couldn’t vent…

“Gentlemen, please!”

Pan stepped forward, politely gesturing them to leave.

The other man stood slightly behind.

Though he smiled, he was unquestionably ready to kill at a moment’s notice.

“Let’s go!”

With gritted teeth, the old Taoist spat out three words, his eyes livid as he stared fixedly at Wu Jie’s retreating back.

Back in the BMW.

Wei Honghua and the others had already sped off in their Land Rover and Toyota 4Runner.

The chubby man hurriedly drove the BMW out of the courtyard, afraid to stay in that place for even half a second longer.

Once out of the Wu family’s courtyard and on the concrete road, he floored the accelerator and the BMW roared up the hill, fleeing as if in a panic.

From the backseat.

The old Taoist’s countenance was as dark as it could be.

Embarrassing!

So damn humiliating!

He came dressed in a martial arts uniform, ready for a ‘friendly contest of martial arts.’

But what was the outcome?

Glancing in the rearview mirror, the chubby man caught a glimpse of his master’s grim expression.

“Master, please don’t be angry!”

“That kid is just arrogant because he’s backed by the powerful Tianyuan Tang family, he has their protection, that’s why he’s so insolent!”

“And surely, he doesn’t know your name!”

“Maybe if he knew you were the chairman of the Provincial Civil Martial Arts Association, he wouldn’t have dared to spar with you!”

…

The chubby man kept trying to comfort his master.

But what the old Taoist was really thinking wasn’t that at all.

No matter how good one’s martial arts are, they’re still afraid of guns!

Wu Jie, who had connections with the powerful Tianyuan Tang family, had a status and position that they couldn’t compare with.

He had the capital and the confidence to snub everyone, to refuse to spar.

Perhaps, as he said, what did his fame matter to Wu Jie.

Before they had never met, and now upon their first meeting, they wanted Wu Jie to compete with them, on what basis?

In the provincial capital, he had a bit of fame, but thousands of kilometers away in Tianyuan, who knew if he counted for anything?

But…

Thinking of his disciple Liu Er’s injury, the old Taoist’s heart was really filled with frustration.

At the same time.

In the two speeding Range Rover cars ahead.

Both sides were on a hands-free phone call, endlessly complaining.

They thought that coming to visit Wu Jie with Master Yu would raise their status and class.

But what happened?

They didn’t expect that this bald donkey actually had another motive and shamelessly wanted to challenge someone to a fight.

How absurd!

Wu Jie was newly married and wealthy, why would he compete in martial arts with a stranger?

Just any random person could pop up and seek to challenge Wu Jie.

If that were the case, with billions of people in the world and many lacking sense, wouldn’t Wu Jie be run ragged?

The old Taoist thought too highly of himself.

It was normal for Wu Jie not to accept.

If he had, that would’ve been strange.

Wei Honghua truly regretted it so much his guts turned green.

If he had known these two Taoists were such bizarre fools, he would have never come with them in the first place.

Previously, when chatting casually about cooperation, Wu Jie seemed very easy to talk to.

Had he known this would happen, it would have been better to visit alone.

With the old Taoist and his disciple stirring things up, it could easily make Wu Jie develop an aversion, truly a regrettable situation!

On the phone, Wei Honghua explicitly stated he wanted to distance himself from that bald donkey and find a way to contact Wu Jie again to mend the impression.

Thereupon.

The two Range Rover cars suddenly sped up.

Taking advantage of the BMW not catching up, they quickly turned and drove into the cement road leading to another village.

With hillside forests providing cover, the two cars were not exposed.

The fat man, hot on their trail and filled with worries, didn’t notice where the two cars in front had gone and kept driving towards town on the main road.

He had reached Pingle Town and still hadn’t spotted Wei Honghua’s two cars.

He pursued all the way to the county road and drove towards the provincial city for quite a while but still didn’t catch sight of them.

Did they drive too fast for him to catch up, or did they deliberately shake him off midway?

The fat man was somewhat puzzled.

“Master, Mr.

Wei and the others seem to have disappeared!”

“They’re gone, what’s so surprising about that?

Businessman, businessman, all sly as foxes!”

“Us wanderers, when useful, can be lauded as masters and honored guests!”

“When of no value, of course they’ll avoid us like the plague, for fear of being implicated.”

With a sigh, the old Taoist said irritably:

“Let’s go to the county hospital to see your elder brother disciple!

It might be our last farewell!”

“Ah?

This…” the fat man was shocked, “What does that mean, Master?

Could it be that my brother disciple…?”

“Humans die for wealth, as birds die for food!”

The old Taoist heaved a deep sigh.

“With businessmen like Wei Honghua trying to please Wu Jie, do you think they would easily spare your brother disciple?”

“And you are equally in danger.

If you don’t want to disappear without a trace, better go make a living in another province soon!”

The fat man was downcast and speechless.

…

Hum!

The BMW sped all the way to the county town.

Meanwhile, in Genlong Village, the two Range Rover cars returned to the Wu Family’s courtyard.

At this time.

Wu Jie was getting ready to go hunting in the mountains with Tang Xin, Tang Kun, and the others.

Animal traps, bows and arrows, hunting knives, spears…

all tools were ready.

Wei Honghua and the others returning didn’t surprise Wu Jie.

“Sorry Mr.

Wu, we’re not at all close with that so-called Master Yu, whatever he says and does has nothing to do with us!”

“That’s right!

I’ve only met him twice before, we’re not close at all, today was just a coincidence on the way.”

“He deals with superstitions like feng shui and I Ching and Trigrams, and knows a bit of Tai Chi martial arts, but he’s really nothing to speak of.”

“Please don’t misunderstand, Mr.

Wu!

The four of us genuinely want to cooperate with you.

As for that Taoist Yu, he’s really not our kind of person!”

…

Upon meeting, Wei Honghua and the others rushed to explain.

But explanations are just covers.

If they weren’t close, would they have come together to Wu Jie’s ancestral home in Genlong Village?

No such coincidence in the world.

If they weren’t close, would the old Taoist have brazenly asked Wu Jie to do them the favor of sub-contracting the highway project to them?

And after they left just now, Wu Jie had already made inquiries.

Master Yu was considered quite knowledgeable in feng shui, I Ching and Trigrams, and promoting health and well-being.

So, those with wealth and power naturally revered him.

But in reality?

Facing each fawning smile, Wu Jie just gave a faint smile.

“Why bother explaining?

It’s such a trivial matter; you don’t need to be so nervous.

Just go back to where you came from!

Anyway, who gets to subcontract the project will be decided by the bidding process.”

After saying that, Wu Jie picked up his strong bow and turned to Tang Xin and the others and asked, “Are we ready?

If we don’t leave now, it’ll be dark soon!”

“Ready!!”

Tang Kang waved his spear, its tip already sharpened.

With enough force, even a wild boar could be killed with a single stab.

“I’m ready too!”

Tang Xin stood up, carrying her bow and arrows, the hunting knife in her hand glinting coldly, quite sharp.

Wei Honghua, about to speak, suddenly brightened at the sight.

Tang Xin, tall and graceful in her posture.

Dressed sportily for convenience in the hunt, she looked fresh and vibrant, full of life.

Tall and slender, with a sweet smile.

Elegant and pure, like a precious gem

Those clear, moving eyes and her radiant, happy smile, could make a person’s heart flutter with just one glance, quite pleasing to the eye.

Suddenly.

Wei Honghua was mesmerized, staring dumbfounded.

With just one look, he felt as if he were falling in love…
