Double Happiness
"Husband, should we let Wu Di try it on the spirit stele?"
Wu Di was simply too dazzling. Even though the Li Family elders had told her to stop targeting him, she couldn't help but speak up.
She'd prepared that immortal-condensing pill for her son, but now this little bastard had stolen it from her.
How could she possibly endure this?
"No need." Wu Wenguang rarely spoke directly to Li Na. He snorted. "Wu Di is now our Wu Family's qilin son. Li Na, I know you don't think very highly of him, but you'd best not make trouble for him in the future. Otherwise, I won't let your Li Family off the hook."
Wu Wenguang's aura as a family head was instantly revealed. Li Na looked at Wu Wenguang, who radiated a sharp aura, and found him somewhat unfamiliar.
In the past, she'd always been the one in charge of the family. Wu Wenguang hadn't dared say no to her, but now he was warning her in such a domineering manner?
"Wu Wenguang!"
Li Na gnashed her teeth and shouted angrily. However, her words, which had never failed her in the past, had no effect on Wu Wenguang today.
"Be a good boy and keep that smile on your face. Otherwise, forget about you ….. I'll even uproot your entire family. Don't think I don't know how many resources your Li Family secretly swallowed from my Wu Family. After today, I, Wu Wenguang, will make your Li Family spit it all back up. "
After coldly snorting at Li Na, Wu Wenguang withdrew the sinister look on his face and smiled at Cai Tong.
"Senior, Wu Di is our family's qilin son. I hope you can show mercy and spare his life. I can promise you that in the future, he and Yu Nan will have nothing to do with each other. "
A qilin son was a symbol of a family's rise to power. This sort of talent couldn't be abandoned on a whim. Even if the Cai Family was powerful, he had to protect Wu Di.
Cai Tong was keenly aware of how important a qilin son was to his family. Furthermore, Wu Di's strength was unfathomable.
"Since he's the Wenguang Family's qilin son, I naturally won't say anything more. But remember, I don't want to see anything I don't want to see happen. "
"Of course, of course."
After smiling obsequiously for a while, Wu Wenguang straightened his lapels. As the crowd congratulated him, he proudly strode up to Wu Di.
However, when he saw Ye Zichen, his heart skipped a beat.
This was someone who dared to mock and ridicule even Cai Tong, and would start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
"Senior, you're Wu Di's master, right?"
"Mhmm, you don't need to worry about me. Just do what you need to do. I'll go sit in your seat for a while, okay?"
"No problem, please have a seat."
How could Wu Wenguang dare to say no? Even if he wanted to be the Wu Family Patriarch for a few days, Wu Wenguang wouldn't dare to say anything!
Ye Zichen smiled, then walked over to Wu Wenguang.
However, just as he was about to arrive, he glanced at Cai Renfei and Cai Tong with a faint smile. After that, he didn't say anything and directly sat down on Wu Wenguang's seat.
"Why is he here?"
Cai Renfei knit his brows. He and Ye Zichen were at odds. However, when they met just now, he didn't seem to have any intention of greeting her.
Since that was the case, it was best to ignore him. The matter of revenge was not urgent. Ye Zichen had attacked the Cai Family, and even injured his grandfather, Cai Tong.
Even so, Cai Tong maintained his silence. Clearly, he didn't want to stir up trouble.
Wu Wenguang respectfully saw Ye Zichen off, then looked at Wu Di with a complicated expression. He wanted to pat his son, who'd never been by his side since birth, on the shoulder, but Wu Di instinctively dodged.
"It seems you really hate me."
Wu Wenguang smiled wryly at Wu Di, then sighed inwardly. He didn't explain himself. Instead, he put on a smile and called out to the spectators.
"In this year's Wu Family Competition, Wu Di takes first place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked out from the side, holding a tray covered with a red cloth.
"The prize for this year's competition is an immortal-condensing pill. I will now personally hand it to Wu Di."
When the red cloth was lifted, a jade bottle was placed on it. When the onlookers heard that this was an immortal-condensing pill, they were visibly moved. The Wu Family was truly generous.
"Lil 'Di, take it. You deserve it."
He shoved the jade bottle into Wu Di's hands. Wu Qiang gnashed his teeth so hard that they creaked. This pill was clearly supposed to be his!
This was the first time Wu Di had felt the warmth of his father's palm. He inexplicably felt a lump in his throat, but when he thought about his mother's death, he forced himself to endure it. He clenched the pill in his hand, then pulled his hand away from Wu Wenguang's.
When he sensed his father's distance from him, Wu Wenguang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. However, he could understand. He'd let his mother and son down too much in the past.
Once the pill was handed over, the spectating aristocratic families began to offer their congratulations.
"Thank you for your congratulations, everyone. The Wu Family's new qilin son is truly a joyous occasion for our family. Perhaps today truly is an auspicious day for our Wu Family. It's a double blessing! "
Double blessing!
Both the spectating aristocratic families and the Wu Family's younger generation revealed strange expressions. One of the blessings was obviously Wu Di's qilin son, while the other …. was most likely his marriage to the Cai Family.
They just didn't know who would be the sacrificial lamb in this marriage alliance.
Wu Di, on the other hand, clenched the pill bottle in confusion. Perhaps only he and Ye Zichen didn't know about the Cai Family and Wu Family becoming in-laws.
"In three months, my clan's Zheng Yunan will marry into the Cai Family. From then on, the Wu and Cai Families will be on good terms."
As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful figure appeared before everyone's eyes. Zheng Yunan wore a long, faint-red dress. Accompanied by Zheng Chenggong, she walked up to Cai Tong and Cai Renfei.
"Zheng Yunan? So it's her!"
Everyone in Raging Flame City had heard a thing or two about Zheng Yunan. Of course, they'd only heard about her because of Zheng Chenggong.
But if the Wu Family and Cai Family were getting married, how could it be her ….
The Wu Family's younger generation was stunned as well. None of them would've guessed that Zheng Yunan would be the one getting married.
Wu Di, who stood by Wu Wenguang's side, was also dumbfounded. He instinctively reached into his robes and glanced at the jade hairpin Zheng Yunan had given him. For some reason, he recalled their conversation in the corner of the arena.
Why had she appeared here in a long dress?
Why did he think she was the one who grabbed him and asked him such a question?
Why had she returned that jade hairpin, something she'd always treasured so much, to him?
When Zheng Yunan appeared in her red dress, when he saw her walk up to Cai Renfei and stare blankly ahead with a formal smile ….
He understood now.
