Ever since that night, when the Wen Family began to rise again, Old Housekeeper had been closely watching the development of the Wen Family, to the point where he felt that the situation had gone out of control.
Overnight, the Young Master went from being a famous "Wenzhou's prodigal son" to being a famous "dangerous person". The bounty hunter was originally an unorthodox business that lapped up blood from the blade. His first target was the lone Star Breaker, which was one of the unorthodox sects.
Every member of the clan, even if it was just ordinary soldiers, they were all fierce people who could challenge opponents beyond their cultivation level. How could beheading demons be easy?
Moreover, even though the empire had declared the Fragmentary Star Group a traitor, there were still many who had good impressions of the Fragmentary Star Group and were even deeply grateful towards them. After the deaths of Shan Luling and Bao Leeda, there were even rumors that the master of the Blade Sealing Alliance, Situ Wushi, was the one and only remaining Ninth Layer of Heaven Stage in the world.
Under this kind of atmosphere, many of the forces that were eagerly chasing after the Star Breaker all withdrew, the big sects and sects no longer organized the chase, but instead treated it as a good opportunity to make a fortune and step in, while everyone was watching from the sidelines. This … Not only was it a risk, it was also a real danger.
Even if they succeeded on their first mission, and received attention from the people, it might not be a good thing. Wen Family was a soy sauce merchant, so even if he had any strength, it would be in the market, not with force. Even if they did succeed on their first try, how could they bear the consequences that would befall them?
The most obvious fact was that from the next day onwards, the streets and alleys had become a legend. The wastrel of Wen Family, while walking on the road drunk in the middle of the night, had bumped into a Star Breaker who had been beaten up and had fled for his life. He smashed the latter's head with a wine bottle, and used a small knife to cut off his head to receive the reward.
This rumor reflected the fact that no one believed that the Wen Family was a prodigal son, and this rumor had changed several times within a day. Some said that Wen Qubing met with a Star Breaker that was heavily injured, and wanted to help him escape, but it caused him to be betrayed and killed;
As the person in question, Wen Qubing turned a deaf ear to the rumors that spread everywhere. In the period of time that followed, he frequently went out the door, and the times he went out varied, and sometimes he returned on the same day, sometimes leaving for ten to fifteen days straight. Every time he returned, he brought along the head of the Star Breaker, or became a captive Star Breaker.
No matter if they captured them alive or delivered them up, they would be able to exchange them for a large amount of bounty. The reputation of the s who were fanatically hunted by the Wen Family was not a small matter and no one doubted that Wen Family would hand over these heads anymore. Because of luck, they felt that the Wen Family was deep and unfathomable.
"..." Wen Qubing captured a child and a pregnant woman to force a Star Breaker to surrender and kill him.
"..." After Wen Qubing targeted the families of the Star Breaker and captured them, he forced the target and his comrades to surrender so that they could gang up on them. From their mouths, he even asked about the whereabouts of the rest of the Star Breaker s.
"..." In order to loot the inheritance of Fragmentary Star Group, Wen Qubing tortured the captive, and in front of everyone's eyes, skinned a Star Breaker alive.
As Wen Qubing came back again and again, the way the others looked at him changed, no one dared to underestimate the wastrel from Wen Family anymore, the merchants of famous sects who used to sell soy sauce finally turned with a shake of their body, and became the dazzling stars of "Slave Merchants" and "Headhunter".
All the streets and alleys were discussing, Wen Qubing himself was not good at martial affairs and his Wen Family had been in decline for a long time, where would he get the fighting strength to kill the Star Breaker? Could it be … Did he really only rely on sinister schemes and not his martial prowess to achieve his goals?
Wen Zaihu was troubled by these rumors and rumors, he did not understand his Young Master. In fact, he had never been able to understand what his Young Master was thinking, but that night, before Young Master left home, he saw with his own eyes those black-clothed guests who followed his Young Master around, those … I'm afraid none of them are human.
Right now, a group of Beasts had taken form and entered the Empire, concealing their identities. They were willing to be used by the Patriarch to kill the Star Breaker with him, because there must be some shocking scheme behind it. Otherwise, why would the Beasts that hated humans be willing to serve Young Master?
Could it be that the young master... Abandoning the Homo Clan, becoming a spy on an inhuman? Just what had he experienced in those turbulent years? What did he do?
Communicating with the enemy to sell off the country had always been a huge crime for the Yan family, not to mention that this had already transcended the boundaries of a home country and involved Homo Clan. Hundred Clan War, if the young master became a spy from another race, hiding his activities within the empire, that would be the crime of destroying the family …
The old man's heart felt as if it had fallen from the sky. This serious consequence was several times heavier than encountering Fragmentary Star Group. He hoped that he could ask the young master clearly, but he felt that the young master wouldn't calmly tell him …
Just as the old man was worrying so much that he became like an ant on a hot pan, Wen Qubing suddenly called him over one day. His expression was solemn, as if he wanted to discuss some important matter.
Entering the house, Wen Qubing made him put on a protective suit that was from head to toe, and even his eyes were covered by a protective shield. This strange outfit made the old man feel uneasy, but fortunately, it wasn't anything dangerous, so he helped Wen Qubing, who was wearing the same protective suit, to turn the tubes of liquid upside down.
This seemed to be something even a three year old child could do. Wen Zaihu didn't understand why he was being so cautious, but when he was pouring the tube, he realized that the Patriarch's hand was shaking non-stop, and was unable to hold the tube steadily. This might be the reason he came.
"Young master, your hand …"
"Don't be distracted, these materials are extremely expensive. If I drip a single drop wrong and the item breaks, I can only sell my internal organs on the black market!"
Wen Zaihu has practiced martial arts before, and his strength is not bad. Although he is old, his hands are still steady, he easily transferred a few bottles of liquid according to Wen Qubing's request, and mixed them with each other, finally turning them into a jar of golden yellow, fragrant nectar. Wen Qubing heaved a sigh of relief, sealed the jar with a lid, and carefully placed it into a embroidered box.
Seeing that he was done with his work, Wen Zaihu looked at the bottles on the table, wanting to help him clean them up. Seeing that there were a few pieces of yellow paper on the table with different patterns, he couldn't read or understand, so he casually picked them up and wiped the bottles.
"You …"
Seeing Wen Zaihu's actions, Wen Qubing's eyes widened, but after seeing what was in his hand, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"I'm so scared, my luck is pretty good." Wen Qubing patted his chest, "Luckily you did not take it wrong, these four pieces of paper paint and runes respectively represent fire, water and yin. What you took just now was water and yin, these two combinations are fine, if you make the wrong combinations …."
"A few thin sheets of paper, what can there be? "The patriarch is trying to scare us …"
Wen Zaihu laughed, and held four pieces of paper tightly together. A burst of heat suddenly emerged from the center of his palm and quickly spread out, and before the old man could react, the powerful explosion had already blew him up, causing the surroundings to distort, and objects to shatter. Wen Qubing, who was on the other side, was swept away by the shock wave at the same time.
It was just a few small pieces of paper, but the resulting explosion power was shockingly large. The entire room was immediately engulfed by the storm and flames, and Wen Zaihu was blasted out of the room.
The defensive ability of the protective suit was beyond his expectations, it was as good as the armor. Old Housekeeper was stuffy for a while, then realizing that he was unharmed by the protective suit and his cultivation, he was surprised, and immediately thought of the Patriarch who was kicked out.
"Young, Young Master!"
Hurriedly rushing out, he brushed away a large part of the roof tiles and wood stones, and then realised that although Wen Qubing's injuries were reduced due to the protective suit, he was still wrapped in bandages, and fell down onto the bed.
"Luckily …" Otherwise, those Beasts Masters would not be able to serve them well, and if I do not get the items on time, they would turn hostile tomorrow night, and I would definitely be slaughtered as well. "
Only then did Old Housekeeper find out about Wen Qubing's information. During the period of Hundred Clan War, a young master who was floating outside had learned some kind of wondrous crafting and refining technique, which was not inferior to other craftsmen who were well-paid by other forces in the world. Using this as a capital, he was able to trade with Beasts, and it actually caused Beasts to set aside its prejudices, allowing him to be willing to send out hands for him to drive.
"But... Young Master, if you have such a method of creating artifacts, why would you want to trade with Beasts? " Old Housekeeper was flabbergasted. "Various families, sects, to young master, this kind of talent, you are like a thirst for virtue. With your ability, if you join these big powers, it would be as easy as flipping your hand. Why would you …"
"Hehe, what a small feat, not worth mentioning. Uncle Zai, do you really think I'm the Great craftsman?" Wen Qubing smiled bitterly: "These little tricks, are not bad to bluff people. If you use it to fool those big sects, do you think they would be blind?"
"Young master, you're too modest. Even I can see that you …"
"No, you can't see anything." Wen Qubing laughed strangely, "If Uncle Zai had truly seen through something, you wouldn't have reacted like that. Believe me, the reason I'm looking for Beasts is because they aren't able to see anything."
Ah!
Wen Zaihu immediately understood, the Patriarch's skills, could not be exposed. Maybe it was because of his background, or maybe it was related to some sinister and devilish method that hurt the heavens, thus it was not known.
"Forget about that first. I still lack some of the goods that I'm preparing to hand over. I need to hurry and finish them as soon as possible. If I don't finish them in a hurry …"
Wen Qubing said with a stern expression on his face, "I don't have many years of life remaining!"
"Uh, Young Master, so that's what you meant by what you said before?"
Even I was injured to such an extent, I was unable to accomplish it by myself. Uncle Zai, please be my assistant and help me rush the work.
Just like this, Wen Zaihu became the Clan Master's assistant, and as he wished, he participated in the clan master's secrets. Although he was already old, he worked hard to learn from him, but, his talent was limited, and while doing things while learning, he would inevitably make mistakes. In the end, several dangerous explosions occurred, and last time, Wen Qubing's body caught fire, exploding a few meters away.
"Young, Young Master!"
Wen Zaihu, who had burnt his protective suit to the point that it was charred, cried profusely as he watched his young master take off his hood. His first concern was still a crystal that he had just finished making.
"Also …" Fortunately, the work is done. "
"Young master, I... I deserve to die, but don't let me get along with you in the future, or else … "Otherwise …" Old Housekeeper said tearfully, "I'm afraid you really don't have many years left."
"Hahahaha ~ ~ ~"
The worried words of the Old Housekeeper was exchanged for Wen Qubing's hearty laugh, "This little bit of danger is enough to scare you, you can't do anything anymore. Since you're going to do it, how can you be afraid of danger? Me … "He will do anything, anything!"
"Young Master, why must you be like this …" "Why did it have to be like this …"
Wen Zaihu was crying old times. He supported her young master and cried, "You actually … It's not that easy, I've seen it... You often wake up at night howling, you … "
"Shh!"
With a silent gesture, Wen Qubing stopped what the old man was about to say, "Can't you have a life, you can't say random things, these words … Never let a third person hear it. "
This action and the strange smile that bloomed on the corners of his mouth allowed the old man to slightly peek into the inner world of his young master, and he felt that … When Young Master returned to the Wen Family, that string of actions, I'm afraid … It wasn't just simply to revive the Wen Family.
The Old Housekeeper had never told anyone about the words that the young master forbade, faithfully carrying out his mission of being the young master's assistant. Every time he saw the young master's frivolous figure, the Old Housekeeper would think that he was not the best person to be his assistant. Perhaps he needed a girl even more, so he didn't know … When will this person appear …
