Chapter 249: Chapter 0249 I Accepted It (Shiyi Update)

"The manor?" Chu Ge pondered for a moment and nodded, "The two old masters spoke so earnestly, it would seem pretentious of me to decline any further. Thus, I shall respectfully accept your offer and take it!"

He indeed needed a private domain, as he had been planning to buy a standalone villa not long before.

After all, Mu Bingtong was just an ordinary person, it was quite inconvenient for her to always stay in the villa, some ancient martial combat techniques simply couldn’t be practiced there.

Seeing Chu Ge agree, several people simultaneously revealed smiles.

This manor was not only a gift of thanks but also a favor; if anything happened in the family in the future, considering today’s gesture, Chu Ge would certainly lend a hand!

However, at that moment, Chu Ge suddenly said, "By the way, I have a favor to ask of you three!"

"Oh?" The three exchanged glances, and Old Master Ouyang nodded, "Please speak freely, Mr. Chu. As long as it is within our power, we will not shirk."

"Hmm." Chu Ge nodded and directly took out his phone, beginning to type on it.

A few minutes later, Chu Ge handed the phone to Old Master Ouyang: "I’d like to ask the three of you to help me gather the materials listed here!"

It was just then, upon sensing the rich Spiritual Energy in the manor, an idea suddenly struck Chu Ge.

Ten Thousand Spirit Returning Array!

From the Jade Pendant that Huo Tianqian gave, the recorded array could cover an area as small as a few meters, or even encase several large mountains!

In ancient times, it could even serve as the Mountain Protection Array for a Sect.

And Chu Ge, intended to set up the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning Array to encompass the entire manor!

"This is..." Old Master Ouyang let his subordinates quickly record these materials, then handed the phone back to Chu Ge.

"The three of you in Shanghai have extensive reach and influence, so asking for your help with the collection is undoubtedly the quickest way. Once these materials are gathered, at that time, I think I’ll give you a surprise!"

Chu Ge put away his phone, looking at Old Master Ouyang indifferently.

Although they didn’t understand why Chu Ge wanted these materials, they still nodded, and immediately arranged for people to handle it.

This time, the main purpose of inviting Chu Ge over was to transfer the manor. Since they had already agreed, there was no need for the three to stay longer. After Chu Ge declined their invitation for dinner, the three left the manor together.

Chu Ge, meanwhile, thoroughly walked through the manor again, and after determining the general distribution of the Spiritual Energy, he prepared to return to Mu Bingtong’s villa.

However, as soon as he walked out of the manor’s main gate, he was facing a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a white suit.

Being a Martial Artist, he was extremely sensitive to different auras, thus Chu Ge had already noticed the man’s gaze firmly locked on him. He simply stopped at the manor entrance and waited for the man to approach.

"Are you so certain I came for you?" Indeed, the man stopped in front of Chu Ge, but seemed a bit puzzled, staring at Chu Ge and asked.

Chu Ge smiled faintly, "It’s best to speak directly if you have matters to discuss, as I don’t seem to recognize you."

"But I know you, and you should know me too," the man said, somewhat cryptically.

Just as Chu Ge’s brow slightly furrowed, the man burst out laughing: "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Xiahou, Xiahou Wudao. I am the second son of the Xiahou family, and Xiahou Renjie, whose legs were just disabled, is my brother."

"The Xiahou family?" Chu Ge looked at him, speaking softly, "So, are you here to seek revenge for your brother?"

"Revenge?" Xiahou Wudao widened his eyes, seemingly hearing something unthinkable, "Why would I seek revenge for that useless person?"

Chu Ge was slightly taken aback by such unreserved words.

Watching Chu Ge’s expression, Xiahou Wudao suddenly laughed heartily; after about five or six seconds, he controlled his laughter, "Ah, I almost forgot, Mr. Chu might not be familiar with our family dynamics. Me, my elder brother, and Xiahou Renjie, we share the same father, Xiahou Longhu, but we each have a different mother."

Having half-brothers from different mothers was not unusual in big families, but it was still relatively rare for three brothers to have three different mothers.

Yet, Chu Ge had no desire to delve into the matter, and sidestepped Xiahou Wudao towards the road, "I have no interest in these private matters of big clans. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

However, just as Chu Ge was about halfway down, Xiahou Wudao suddenly spoke.

"Not interested in our family’s private matters, then I wonder, Mr. Chu, if you might be interested in an assassination that occurred a month ago?"

Chu Ge paused in his steps.

Xiahou Wudao’s face suddenly contorted into a bizarre smile, his smile growing wider, and he even began laughing maniacally, looking at Chu Ge’s retreating figure: "Hahaha, Mr. Chu, do you still remember, a month ago, in an abandoned area of Shanghai, there was an assassin with a crossbow who tried to kill you? Are you still without a clue about who was behind it?"

Finally, Chu Ge turned around, staring coldly at Xiahou Wudao: "You know who was behind it? Or should I say... that incident is directly connected to you?"

As he said this, a faint oppressive aura began to emanate from Chu Ge.

What he didn’t expect was that Xiahou Wudao showed no signs of fear.

Ordinary people would definitely not be able to withstand the pressurizing aura from a Martial Artist; there are only two explanations possible: Either this Xiahou Wudao was a hidden master, so much so that even Chu Ge couldn’t detect even a bit of his aura, thus mistaking him for an ordinary person.

Or, mentally, he was a complete madman!

From the current circumstances, it evidently leaned towards the latter, given even Jian Chunqiu in the Divine Communication Realm couldn’t deceive Chu Ge.

"Both of those explanations are correct, but not accurate!" Xiahou Wudao looked at Chu Ge, laughing, "I am the one behind it. Yes, I sent that assassin to kill you. At that time, I knew nothing about Martial Artists, thinking it was just about Martial Arts, I had no idea..."

He left his sentence unfinished, clearly, the strength Chu Ge demonstrated on the cruise had been conveyed to the younger generation of the Three Major Families!

To be honest, Xiahou Wudao’s words took Chu Ge somewhat by surprise; he misstepped, instantly closed the distance between them, and clasped one hand around Xiahou Wudao’s throat, but he did not tighten his grip.

"To admit it so openly in front of me, you – are you not afraid of death? Or did you come here seeking death?"
