Chapter 72 72

"What are you saying, Grandpa? Didn't you bring him to introduce him to the Wang family members? Why did you even include him in the martial arts competition? Isn't that dangerous for him and us?" Wang Ruyue was shocked because it was the first time she had heard about it from her grandfather.

Wang Haotian didn't say anything about his intention when Wang Ruyue picked him up at the airport or in the car on the way to the Wang family residence.

"Please trust your grandpa. I have reason to do that." Wang Haotian looked at Wang Ruyue and smiled.

"Don't you know that this martial art competition is significant to the Wang family? If you want your disciple to gain experience there, you better forget about it because I won't agree. I cannot allow an inexperienced young cultivator to participate in that event. You can find a sparring partner for your disciple here, and I'm sure many of the Wang family's younger generation are willing to be his opponent." Wang Hongli said seriously.

As a patriarch of the Wang family, he has excellent judgment ability. He saw that Tenku was no more than seventeen years old and had only recently started cultivating. Wang Hongli believed that his cultivation realm was low and didn't have much battle experience. Tenku won't be able to do anything in that martial arts competition. Dia merasa sayang jika harus memberikan kuota peserta luar kepada Tenku. Hal itu akan merugikan keluarga Wang.

"I agree with the patriarch. The three-participant quota for outsiders was essential because it could affect the Wang family's results in the martial arts competition. So, there's no way we'd give that to your disciple." Wang Minghao also showed disapproval of Wang Haotian's intentions.

He did it not because of the Wang family but for personal reasons. He had a bad relationship with Wang Haotian. Therefore, whatever Wang Haotian's intentions and proposals were, he would be against them. Moreover, the two outside participant quota was his now, and he had a plan. So there was no way Wang Minghao would give it to him.

"I never asked for your approval about it because that quota is my right as the first elder. If you don't give it to me, my granddaughter and I will leave this family." Wang Haotian threatened and glared at the people in the hall.

Wang Hongli and the others were shocked by Wang Haotian's words and were sure he was not playing around with his threats. Wang Haotian was the first elder, and his strength was unquestionable, while Wang Ruyue was a genius with an extraordinary appearance. They would suffer heavy losses if the two left the Wang family.

"Wang Haotian! Have you gone mad!?" Wang Minghao got up from his seat and shouted.

"You're not serious, are you?" Wang Shengzi added. Wang Shengzi said in disbelief. Wang Hongli raised his hand to stop them from saying further because he knew how Wang Haotian was. He wouldn't change his decision after he made it.

"Do you have to do that? Don't you know that the outcome of this martial arts competition will determine the fate of the Wang family and your granddaughter?" Wang Hongli asked.

"Because I know it's related to my granddaughter's fate, I want him to participate in that martial arts competition. So I want that quota because it's mine. You won't mind, right? You still have nine people to represent the Wang family, and losing one will do nothing for you." Wang Haotian had already made up his mind and said determinedly.

Wang Hongli believed that whatever they said would not affect Wang Haotian's decision. He knew that everything Wang Haotian said was the truth and hard to refute. They would only lose one quota for outsiders but keep Wang Ruyue and her grandfather in the Wang family.

"Alright. I will give that one quota to you. So it would be best if you forgot what you said earlier. I hope your decision is right." Wang Hongli sighed and reluctantly agreed to Wang Haotian. He was curious about Wang Haotian's reason for leaving the fate of his beloved grandson to Tenku, but he refrained from asking about the matter for now.

"But patriarch..." Wang Minghao said frantically, but Wang Hongli stopped him before he could finish his sentence.

"You don't need to talk anymore because this is my decision. I know what you're thinking, but you must return that right to its owner. Do you understand?" Wang Hongli said coldly. He didn't like Wang Minghao's attitude of constantly objecting to his decisions these past few years, and he couldn't tolerate it any longer.

"I understand." Wang Minghao gritted his teeth and agreed. He clenched his fists tightly to suppress his anger.

(You wait till I get the patriarch's seat! I will torture you until you feel that death is better than life and beg me to kill you!)

Wang Minghao secretly looked at the patriarch of the Wang family with bloodshot eyes. He could only endure his killing intent for now as he couldn't defeat Wang Hongli and the others, but things would be different in the future.

"Young man, what's your name?" Wang Hongli looked at Tenku and asked.

"Tenku has seen the patriarch and the elders." Tenku bowed his head and gave a fist and palm salute. Wang Haotian had taught him manners in front of the patriarch and elders. Besides that, Tenku also learned it from historical and Chinese martial arts films. Wang Hongli and the others, except Wang Minghao, nodded politely to Tenku.

"I don't know why Haotian wants you to participate in that competition, but I must warn you of one thing. People with superpowers called Realizers have indeed controlled this world. But this competition strictly prohibits using Phantasmal Objects and can only fight with your cultivation power. I wonder, what is your current cultivation realm?" Wang Hongli wanted to know Tenku's power level and hoped his decision was not wrong.

The elders and other people in the hall, including Wang Minghao, looked at Tenku curiously. But before they could get an answer, Wang Haotian spoke first.

"His cultivation base is sufficient to participate in the martial art competition, and you will find out later." Wang Haotian winked at Tenku.

"Ooh, are you sure about that? You're not looking for an excuse to hide your disciple's lowly cultivation base out of embarrassment with the people here, are you?" Wang Minghao sneered.

Wang Hongli frowned because Wang Minghao suddenly interrupted his conversation again but what he said made sense. He wanted to know Tenku's cultivation base, but Wang Haotian tried to hide it. If Wang Minghao's words were true, then Wang Hongli felt a little regretful that he had given the quota to Tenku.

"It's my business to find excuses or not. What's your problem with that? Are you reluctant to return the quota to me? Do you feel that you have become the first elder after my long absence in the Wang family? If that's the case, I don't mind getting out of here." Wang Haotian snorted coldly.

"You!" Wang Minghao got up from his seat in anger and was ready to attack. He couldn't fight Wang Hongli, but it was a different story with Wang Haotian.

"Stop! What are you fighting for!? We need to be united at a time like this and not divided! I've decided to return the quota to Haotian. So you all can disperse!" Wang Hongli shouted angrily.

"I will remember about it!" Wang Minghao glared at Wang Haotian and left the hall. The second elder and the others followed suit leaving only Wang Haotian, Tenku, Wang Ruyue, and Wang Hongli.

"Yue'er, please take Tenku to the guest room to rest." Wang Haotian wanted to talk to Wang Hongli about something but didn't want Tenku and Wang Ruyue to hear about it.

"I understand, grandpa!" Wang Ruyue quickly replied and looked at Tenku.

"Let's go, Tenku." She said, and Tenku nodded in response. Then they left the hall leaving only Wang Hongli and Wang Haotian.

After leaving the Wang family residence hall, Tenku was led by Wang Ruyue to the guest room. Along the way, Wang Ruyue kept glancing at him out of curiosity about something but didn't say anything until they arrived at their destination.

"This is your room. Hmm..." Wang Ruyue opened the door of the room. She was silent for a while and finally dared to ask what she was thinking after mustering up her courage.

"Can you tell me how you met my grandfather until you became his disciple?" Wang Ruyue asked. Her voice sounds melodic and very pleasant to hear.

"I can't tell in detail, but he has saved me and suddenly asked me to become his disciple." Tenku answered without averting his eyes. Wang Ruyue was beautiful, but he didn't feel any special feelings for her, and he didn't want to get romantically involved with any girl for now. Tenku will think about it after he finds Haruna.

"Ooh, I see. Then can you tell me about your cultivation base?" Wang Ruyue was also as curious as the patriarch because she couldn't feel the slightest Qi from his body. If Tenku's cultivation base were lower than hers, Wang Ruyue would be disappointed.

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. You should ask your grandfather about it in person." Tenku entered the room and quickly closed the door.

Wang Ruyue pouted after hearing that answer but understood Tenku's position. Thus, she intended to ask her grandfather directly.

***

In a room in the Wang family residence, there was the sound of glass breaking.

Crash!

"Bastard! I will make you regret what you have done to me!" Wang Mingho shouted angrily after he returned to his room. After that, the door opened, and a middle-aged man entered.

"What happened, father? Why are you angry? The person asked. He was Wang Jun, the son of Wang Minghao.

"I became like this because of Haotian." Wang Minghao replied.

"Uncle Haotian? What happened?" Wang Jun frowned upon hearing that name.

"Haotian has returned..." Wang Minghao told his son what had happened in the Wang family's residence hall.

"I see. Isn't that a simple matter?" Wang Jun said calmly.

"Do you have a plan to take back the quota?" Wang Minghao raised his eyebrows. He believed in his son because Wang Jun was a clever and cunning person.

"Of course, I have it. We have to get rid of uncle Haotian's disciple." Wang Jun looked at his father and grinned evilly.
