Chu Wuming's sudden arrival startled everyone in the Wu Family. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Wu Family's biggest backer was Chu Wuming. If it weren't for Chu Wuming, the Wu Family wouldn't have been able to develop into the number one family in Moontrace City.
Seated at the head of the hall, Chu Wuming swept an ice-cold glance at the Wu Family members below. The one leading the group was naturally the Wu Family Head, who was also Wu Yun and Wu De's father.
"Your Wu Family is truly audacious. You even dared to offend my blood brother, especially that Wu De. He actually wanted to kill Brother Xiao Chen. Even a thousand deaths wouldn't be enough to appease the anger in my heart." Chu Wuming said coldly as he looked at the Wu Family members.
He had already described Xiao Chen as his blood brother. Upon hearing this, the Wu Family Head immediately knelt before Chu Wuming and said with a face full of horror.
"Your Highness, please calm down. It's all because of that unfilial son of mine. Besides, we didn't know that Young Master Xiao Chen was acquainted with Your Highness. We …"
The Wu Family Head could already tell that Chu Wuming was furious. In fact, he had even sensed a terrifying killing intent from Chu Wuming's eyes. It seemed that Chu Wuming had already thought of annihilating the Wu Family.
One had to admit that the Wu Family Head's intuition was very accurate. For a moment, Chu Wuming had indeed thought of annihilating the Wu Family to curry favor with Xiao Chen. However, due to Wu Yun's existence, Chu Wuming hesitated. In addition, Xiao Chen had already given Wu De a chance. As such, there was no need to annihilate the Wu Family. Of course, if Wu De couldn't fulfill Xiao Chen's request, he would definitely die and even the Wu Family would be buried with him.
In order to rope in Xiao Chen, a mere Wu Family wasn't worth mentioning. It didn't matter if they were annihilated.
Wu Yun had already brought Wu De to those families that had been persecuted by Chu Wuming. When he saw the terrified Wu Family members, Chu Wuming stood up and coldly left behind a sentence before leaving.
"Tell Wu Yun and that reckless Wu De that if they are unable to fulfill brother Xiao Chen's request, then Wu De should directly kill himself. Otherwise, if I personally take action, it will not be so simple. Humph."
Chu Wuming did not wait for the Wu family to reply. He left the Wu family under the protection of a group of imperial guards.
That night, when Wu Yun returned to the Wu family, her father told her the truth about Chu Wuming's visit. Hearing this, Wu Yun smiled bitterly. She knew that the Wu family had no other way out. She had to get Wu De to obtain everyone's forgiveness.
In the next few days, Chu Wuming stayed in the Moon Trace City's City Lord's Mansion. Furthermore, Chu Wuming would take the initiative to invite Xiao Chen every day. They would either tour the beautiful scenery of the Mirage Moon Plains together or drink to their hearts' content.
Chu Wuming's attitude towards Xiao Chen could be said to be extremely cordial. He didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance as a prince of the imperial family.
Five days passed. On this day, Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming were galloping on the Mirage Moon Plains as usual. The two of them rode on tall and strong Dragon Horses, running side by side on the boundless Mirage Moon Plains. Behind them were a group of imperial guards, as well as Du Chengfeng and Zhang Qi.
In these five days, Du Chengfeng had also successfully returned from the imperial capital. He had also brought back the things that Chu Wuming needed.
After galloping for a while, they arrived at a small stream. Xiao Chen and Du Chengfeng slowed down at the same time. With a clear laugh, Chu Wuming took the lead and said, "Haha, Brother Xiao, no wonder people say that even if cultivators can fly, the feeling of galloping on a horse is always the best. These few days, I have been galloping on the Mirage Moon Plains with Brother Xiao. I am deeply moved."
"That's because Your Highness' Dragon Horse is strong. If it were a normal horse, it would naturally not be able to achieve this." Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen smiled and replied.
"Brother Xiao, you flatter me. Today, I have some things to give to you. I hope that Brother Xiao will not refuse."
Du Chengfeng had already brought the treasures that Chu Wuming had collected. Chu Wuming did not hesitate and directly handed a storage ring to Xiao Chen.
He had already expected that Chu Wuming would definitely give him something. After some hesitation, Xiao Chen took the storage ring that Chu Wuming handed over. After casually checking it, Xiao Chen was secretly delighted.
Chu Wuming was really generous. Not to mention other things, there were no less than 50 Illusionary Moon Fruits in this storage ring. These were clearly Chu Wuming's treasures. Now that he had taken all of them out and given them to Xiao Chen, it was clear that Chu Wuming was sincere.
Seeing that Xiao Chen kept the storage ring, Chu Wuming also spoke in a timely manner. "Brother Xiao, to be honest, there are some things that I have always wanted to say to you. However, I never had the chance."
"Your Highness, please feel free to speak." Upon hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen replied.
Finally, it was time for him to lay his cards on the table. As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, Chu Wuming immediately dismounted from his horse and knelt on one knee before Xiao Chen with an extremely serious expression.
"Brother, you know my current situation. I earnestly request that Brother Xiao and the Heavenly Stellar Residence can lend me a hand. I will be eternally grateful …"
Chu Wuming had finally spoken his mind. Furthermore, he had specifically mentioned the Heavenly Stellar Residence. His meaning was obvious. Not only did he need Xiao Chen's help, he also needed the entire Heavenly Stellar Residence's help.
Seeing that Chu Wuming actually knelt on the ground and refused to get up, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't be careless. He hurriedly dismounted from his horse and helped Chu Wuming up. He pretended to be shocked and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Facing Xiao Chen's support, Chu Wuming stubbornly said, "Brother Xiao, please promise me. Otherwise, I would rather kneel for a long time."
Everything was developing according to Xiao Chen's plan. At this moment, Chu Wuming had taken the initiative to lay his cards on the table and even offered such a generous gift. Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't refuse. But on the surface, Xiao Chen still didn't immediately agree. He only told Chu Wuming that he still had to go back and ask his uncle. He would only give Chu Wuming an answer tomorrow.
Xiao Chen stayed with Chu Wuming until dusk. When night fell, Xiao Chen brought Zhang Qi back to the Heavenly Stellar Residence. As soon as they entered the Heavenly Stellar Residence, Xiao Chen said to Zhang Qi, "Senior, go to the City Lord's residence in two hours to find the Third Prince. Tell him that Uncle has already agreed. Ask him when he will be heading to the Imperial Capital."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhang Qi nodded in response.
That night, when Zhang Qi told Chu Wuming this news, Chu Wuming was practically dancing with joy. He happily replied to Zhang Qi and said that he would definitely personally pay a visit tomorrow to discuss the matter of heading to the Imperial Capital. After sending Zhang Qi off, Chu Wuming could no longer contain the excitement in his heart. He looked at Du Chengfeng and said excitedly, "Elder Du Chengfeng, I succeeded.
"Elder Du, I've succeeded. Xiao Chen's uncle has finally agreed to help me."
As a prince, Chu Wuming had never lost his composure like this since he was young. However, Du Chengfeng could understand this. After all, obtaining the support of the Heavenly Stellar Residence was far too important to Chu Wuming.
Looking at Chu Wuming, Du Chengfeng smiled faintly and said, "Since the Heavenly Stellar Residence has already agreed, Your Highness should return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible. Your Highness has indeed wasted too much time in Moon Trace City. The Imperial Capital still needs Your Highness to hold the fort."
