【Chapter 0006】The family makes things difficult
Just as Wu Chen was muttering in his heart, the young man with white faced scholar suddenly raised his hand and immediately slapped Wu Chen loudly: "Oh, how dare you run to my doorstep to fool me, see if I won't peel you off today."
The white-faced young man said, kicking Wu Chen to the ground with another kick. Just as he was about to take another ruthless attack on Wu Chen, an old and urgent voice suddenly came from the gate of the Wu family: "Please stop the young master, he didn't say panic. Wu Zhen does have this person in the Wu family."
When the white-faced young man heard this, he with doubts and retracted his feet, which he was about to step down. Wu Chen quickly got up from the ground and patted the dust on his body calmly. Then he stared at the white-faced young man and remembered the young man's face deeply in his mind. Then he looked at the gate and found that the person who was speaking was a very weak old man, with turbid eyes and wrinkles on his face as dense as gullies.
The old man staggered, but he walked dozens of breaths for a short distance of dozens of meters. He came to Wu Chen with a slightly excited expression on his face, but the old man was old, so his expression was very good. He stared at Wu Chen, and then asked in his old voice: "You said you were Wu Zhen's son?"
Wu Chen nodded heavily. No matter what, he was finally sure that he had not gone to the wrong place now. But he felt a vague feeling in his heart, as if his father's status in the Wu family was not very good. Otherwise, even if he had been away for more than ten years, he wouldn't have heard of this team of guys who were uniform in their clothes, right?
"Old Yu, my Wu family does have Wu Zhen?" said the white-faced young man to the weak old man with his condescending arrogance.
"Young Master Wu Gang, the Wu family does have Wu Zhen. If you don't believe it, you can ask your father." Old Yu'er suddenly started to cough after saying that. Wu Chen couldn't help but ask with concern: "Old man, are you okay?"
Seeing Wu Chen so polite, Lao Yu's turbid eyes showed a hint of admiration: "Child, what's your name?"
"Wu Chen."
"Okay, wait a moment here, I will come in and send you a message." After saying that, Old Yu turned around and walked towards the Wu family's courtyard. Looking at Old Yu's staggering back, Wu Chen felt quite uncomfortable.
Not long after Old Yu entered, many people quickly emerged from the Wu family gate. These people were old and young. Although they were of different ages, they all had the same indifference on their faces.
The two people walking in the front were a man and a woman. The man was wearing a black robe, about in his fifties, with a straight body like a javelin. The woman was wearing a purple skirt, in her forties, and was well maintained, still exuding charm and beauty.
As soon as he saw these two people, the white-faced young man Wu Gang immediately ran over and shouted enthusiastically: "Dad, aunt."
The two of them just nodded at Wu Gang and stared at Wu Chen. After looking for a while, the middle-aged woman in purple skirt turned to the man in black and said, "I look really like, brother, it seems that she is Wu Zhen's son. Could it be that this kid came back to atone for his father?"
The man in his fifties suddenly snorted coldly: "Hmph, atonement? Will Wu Zhen ask his son to come back to atone for his sins? Sister, don't be naive. This kid probably wants to come back and snatch the family business."
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she suddenly realized: "Yes, this kid should be almost sixteen. This time she returned to the family, she should want to participate in the family's coming-of-age ceremony?"
The man in black robe ignored his somewhat dull sister, but instead shouted to Wu Chen: "Boy, do you say you are Wu Zhen's son, do you have a token?"
"Token?" Wu Chen was stunned when he heard this. In order to protect him, his father died suddenly and had no tokens left to him. Mom had a token, which was the "Dragon Crystal Pendant" that melted into his body at this moment. However, his father's solemn and repeated instructions before his death that Wu Chen would never be able to take out this dragon crystal pendant.
"I don't have a token." Wu Chen said simply.
"If you don't have tokens, then get out of here. The Wu family is not something that anyone can come here if you want." The man in black robe looked extremely cold from beginning to end.
Wu Chen clenched his fists tightly and tried to restrain himself. The attitude of the person in front of him had already set fire to his chest with anger!
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a token. When I ask you, I will know the truth or false after taking the exam." An old voice suddenly rang behind the man in black robe. When Wu Chen looked, he found that the old man who had been told about him had come out again.
The man in black robe frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but surprisingly, he did not object, but said lightly: "Old Yu, I hope you don't act emotionally, this is related to my Wu family's bloodline."
"How dare I act emotionally when I am about to die? Let me ask him again and again." Old Yu walked slowly to Wu Chen's eyes and asked immediately, "Wu Chen, how old are you this year?"
"Fifteen years old and six months old, and sixteen years old." Wu Chen replied.
As soon as he said that, the man in black robe and the woman in purple robe couldn't help but look at each other immediately. Because Wu Chen's age did match.
"Very good. Let me ask you again, how many fingers your father Wu Zhen has?" Old Yu's voice suddenly became louder, and his face became extremely solemn.
Wu Chen was shocked suddenly. This is my father's secret! Although my father had never told him, Wu Chen had inadvertently discovered that my father had only eight fingers. Four of his left and right hands were all without a little finger.
"Eight." Wu Chen slowly said, and at this moment he suddenly realized that there must be some important and unusual reason for only eight left of his father's fingers.
Old Yu nodded, then turned around and said, "I have asked my question. Now I can guarantee that Wu Chen is indeed the descendant of the Wu family and the son of Wu Zhen."
Wu Chen was immediately happy, but at this moment, a voice with extremely cold and angry suddenly came from the Wu family's courtyard: "No matter whether he is not Wu Zhen's son, please let him get out and get out quickly. I have never admitted that Wu Zhen is my descendant of the Wu family."
It's the old voice of an old woman!
Immediately afterwards, everyone at the door quickly and automatically gave up a road. An old lady with wrinkles appeared at the door with anger on her face.
"Mom!" The man in black robe and the woman in purple robe immediately stepped forward respectfully and shouted. Old Yu also called respectfully: "Old Madam!" The white-faced young man Wu Gang shouted with a bit of pretending to be sweet, "Grandma."
The old lady smiled at Wu Gang, then suddenly looked up, and she said sternly to the man in black robe and the woman in purple robe: "Ji Wei, Feng'e, drive this kid away. You must never step into the gate of my Wu family!"
As soon as the old woman finished speaking, Wu Chen suddenly saw gloating in the eyes of dozens of people in front of her. Even the unconcealed contempt and ridicule fell on him like a sharp blade.
Wu Chen had no idea what was wrong with his father in the Wu family. Why were all these people in front of him looking at him like clowns, which made him so unhappy.
"Gang'er, send him away." Wu Jiwei said coldly to Wu Gang, and then helped the old lady back to the Wu family's courtyard. But soon he quietly turned his head and gave a wink at his sister Wu Feng'e. Wu Feng'e immediately guessed the elder brother's intention, so he suddenly took a few steps and grabbed Wu Gang and whispered: "Gang'er, find an opportunity to kill this kid."
Wu Gang was stunned, but soon a look of cold blood and cruelty appeared on his face. He immediately said to the team of burly men with uniform clothing: "Take this kid to the Chiyou River outside the city." After that, he took the lead in strides forward with arrogant strides.
A group of burly men immediately tied Wu Chen up again and walked out of the city quickly. At this time, no one noticed that Old Yu had already quietly entered the Wu family's courtyard from the side door and headed straight to the Wu family's back mansion.
Wu Chen was trapped by the great men and felt extremely depressed. He never expected that the return family would end like this. Of course he was unwilling to accept it, of course he wanted to resist. But he had not even activated the source vein, so what could he resist? He thought of Long Jingzhu and Man Jiuer, but there were so many people beside him at this moment, and he was afraid of being exposed. Therefore, he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
Soon, Wu Chen was dragged out of the city gate by a group of great men and led to a river with a slightly blood-red color. Several great men pressed him to the ground, but Wu Chen's hand was holding the cloth bag containing his father's ashes tightly.
The white-faced young man Wu Gang slowly walked to Wu Chen and stepped on Wu Chen's other empty hand with a fierce kick: "Wu Chen, right?"
Wu Chen bit his steel teeth and endured the pain of crushing under Wu Gang's feet without saying a word, but his eyes were staring at Wu Gang coldly. Wu Gang was very unhappy with his eyes, and then immediately pressed Wu Chen's head and immersed Wu Chen into the water of the Chiyou River.
"Tell you, I am the real young master of the Wu family, and I am the heir to take charge of the entire Wu family in the future. You, a wild man who emerged from somewhere, lie at the bottom of the river and watch me." Wu Gang's face was extremely ferocious, and he was about to break Wu Chen's neck while saying.
At this moment, a yellow light suddenly shot from a distance, directly causing Wu Gang and dozens of burly men to close their eyes. Then Wu Chen felt his body lighter, and then he heard the sound of wind in his ears. He tried hard to open his eyes, but he was helplessly stinged by the yellow light and could only half-close his eyes.
After half an hour, Wu Chen realized that the yellow light in front of him was gradually disappearing. Then he was surprised to find that he was already in a green small bamboo forest. In front of him, an old man with white hair and hair was looking at him with a serious expression.
"Who are you?" Wu Chen immediately jumped back and asked vigilantly.
"Boy, don't panic. I am your grandfather Wu Lingtian." The old man simply revealed his true identity directly.
"What? Are you my father's father?" Wu Chen couldn't believe that the head of the Wu family appeared in front of him so easily? It seems that the old man must have saved him just now.
"Don't believe it? Alas." Wu Lingtian suddenly sighed, then crossed his legs and sat lightly on the two overlapping bent bamboos.
"Boy, I have already investigated you on the road just now. It is indeed my descendant of the Wu family. However, the source meridian is average and the age is already too old. You will be sixteen years old in half a year, and the source meridian has not been activated. I am afraid there will be no major progress in practicing martial arts. But for the sake of you being my grandson, there are 100 gold coins here, so you can use it to make a living."
The old man said, raising his hand and threw it to Wu Chen a purse. Wu Chen didn't answer it, letting the purse hit the bamboo joint and then rebounded and fell to the ground.
"Grandpa, I want to know why my father is so poor in the family?" Wu Chen looked solemn, and he clenched his fists hard as he said.
When Wu Lingtian heard this, his old face suddenly turned red, and then he waved his hand and said, "This... this is better, you still don't know."
Seeing that grandpa didn't want to tell him, Wu Chen frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Grandpa, if you tell me about my dad, I will also tell you a big secret in exchange."
When Wu Lingtian heard this, his eyes suddenly shone: "Big secret? Boy, don't fool me. Although I am your grandfather, I have no friendship. If you dare to fool me, I can teach you a lesson." Wu Chen didn't know that his grandfather was born curious, and Wu Chen had completely inadvertently hit the weak point of Old Man Wu.
"I will never fool you. If you fool your grandfather, I, Wu Chen, wish you a thundering blow." Wu Chen's extremely seriousness and solemnity forced Wu Lingtian to believe it: "Okay, for the sake of that big secret, I will tell you about your father."
