Indestructible Primordial Spirit
Wang Bo, the sixth young master of the Wang family, is also one of the most talented among his peers. With his mother being the legitimate wife of the family head, Wang Weiwu, he has many advantages that will undoubtedly lead to a bright future, and it's not impossible for him to become the next head of the Wang family.
How could someone like him possibly think of Lu Buqi, a lowly and despicable slave, for no reason?
"Bo Er, what's making you so angry?" In the midst of a tastefully decorated hall with elegant potted plants, a noblewoman who was hosting guests looked at Wang Bo who had just entered.
With a roll of silk paper in his hand, 18-year-old Wang Bo looked more majestic than he did two years ago, but the feminine air still lingered. His face was twisted in anger: "I'm so furious! That damned little bastard actually became the Martial Ding of Guo Zhan Town. What does he want to do? Does he really think he can come and ask for that hundred taels of reward?"
"Wudīng of Guǒjiǎn Town? Two years ago, you and Chǔ Dí went to the dense forest and met a 12-year-old slave named Zé Nú?" The noblewoman was about 40 years old, but time had left no significant marks on her face, still radiant and captivating.
This was Wu Yaoyi, Wang Bo's mother, one of the most powerful women in the Wang family, and as a woman who had recognized heroes with her wisdom and let her father support Wang Weiwu to start his career, she was deeply loved by Wang Weiwu.
At this moment, Wu Yaoyi was entertaining the big managers of four towns, among whom Wang Jianglong from Zhutan Town was also present. And these four people were obviously loyal servants of the Da Fang Di family.
"Is it him? Mother, you still remember him?"
Wu Yaoyi's face wore a calm smile: "Not having practiced any martial arts yet, you can kill the seventh-level great household head with one blow, and withstand my ten moves without dying. You're only twelve years old, how could I forget such an interesting kid?"
Under the astonished gaze of the four major stewards, Wang Bo's face was calm: "Even more interesting, he is not also my defeated general. If it wasn't for sparring, I could have taken his life with one move."
"Of course I know, my son is the most powerful!" Wu Yaozi smiled and said: "At just eighteen years old, he's already a master of the Bone Resonance Triple Heaven, in a few more years, that little Wang Shen probably won't be your match either."
"The sixth young master is a genius!" Wang Jianglong said on the side, "It can be seen that when Master usually talks about several young masters, he smiles the most when talking about the sixth young master."
Who doesn't know about the Sixth Master's reputation? The steward of a neighboring town also chimed in, "I've often heard the old master mention that the Sixth Young Master inherited many of his good qualities..."
These people flattered him, and Wang Bo was also quite pleased with himself: "Actually, I am going to make even greater efforts, after all, the three-roomed Wang Chen is only two years older than me, yet he has already reached the seventh level of Bone Resonance."
"Bo'er has such an awakening, and it's really exciting for his mother!" Wu Yaoyi smiled indulgently: "However, Bo'er, Mother found that you seem to still be angry with that little Zehan slave!"
As soon as he mentioned Lu Buqi, Wang Bo couldn't help but scowl: "How can I not be angry? A lowly Ze slave actually dares to make things difficult for me and even meddles in my relationship with Di'er, making my cousin still hold a grudge against me..."
Wu Yaoyi's mouth slightly curved: "What do you want to do about that, Bo'er?"
"Hum!" Wang Bo swung his long arm, and the silk paper in his hand fluttered to the ground: "Absolutely cannot let him participate in the Wu Ding election, I want him to be forever hiding in the dense forest of Guo as his Ze slave!"
Pick up the silk paper that has drifted to the ground, this is the name of Wuding's representative in the 13th town of Wuding, Wang Jianglong saw the name of Guo Zhai Town at a glance: "Guo Zhai... fifteen years old, nine times brave... Sixth Master, are you talking about this person?"
"It's him!" Wang Bo responded with a hateful tone, but Wu Yaoyi raised an eyebrow: "Jiang Long, how did you know that the Sixth Master and I were talking about him?"
Wang Jianglong, with a slight bow, flashed a hint of cruelty in his eyes: "As for what the madam said, I went to Guo Zhai Town once a year and a half ago. I saw this Xiao Zei then, and he already had nine layers of courage at that time. It was really astonishing. However, this child relied on Ying Fu, that old fox, and showed no respect for his superiors or inferiors. Xiao Zei's misbehavior was too excessive, so it's no wonder he offended the Sixth Young Master."
"Oh? You already had the Ninefold Power of Courage a year and a half ago? That's not just half a year, you've cultivated the power to the ninth level? This is an incredible achievement!" Wu Yaozi's eyes sparkled: "However, Jiang Long, your evaluation of this little slave seems to be very low. In your opinion, how should we deal with this little slave?"
Wang Jianglong's heart was delighted, but he didn't show it, and only respectfully replied: "If this arrogant kid is selected into the inner fortress, I'm afraid he'll offend many nobles. I think Sixth Young Master's idea is correct, we can't let him participate in the Wu Ding Grand Selection, just let him stay in that remote corner as punishment for his offense against Sixth Young Master!"
Another servant chimed in, "I think Young Master Liu is being too kind. In my opinion, he's just a small-time thug. No matter how talented he is, sending someone from the Bone Chilling Realm to take care of him would be enough to crush him. Why bother getting so worked up? If it's inconvenient for Young Master Liu, I can help out with this little task."
"Look, daughter! This Xiao Ze is indeed a scourge that deserves to die!" Seeing the two major managers supporting his idea, Wang Bo once again felt his own wisdom and bravery, especially towards the second manager, who truly spoke to his heart: "How did I only think of my cousin having an opinion at first? In fact, if we had someone else kill that little brat, there would be no evidence, so how could my cousin know it was me?"
Wu Yaoyi smiled calmly and said nothing: "I know, Jiang Long, you all go back first!"
Knowing Wu Yaoyi was going to educate her son, the four servants naturally retreated with great insight.
In front of his mother, Wang Bo was also very well-behaved: "Mother, what do you want to say to me that you have to get rid of them? Aren't they all our own people?"
"Bo Er, didn't I teach you that there are no eternal friends or enemies in this world? There are only relationships driven by self-interest!" Wu Yaozi's eyes shone with a penetrating understanding of the ways of the world: "Jiang Long and his family are being so proactive in drawing close to us because they want to pin their future fate for the next twenty or thirty years on your shoulders. If you and I were to fall out of favor with the Wang family, do you think they would still come to pay their respects to me every year?"
Wang Bo nodded: "Oh, I see, some things are still not necessary for them to participate in, right?"
Wu Yaoyi nodded and said, "Bo'er, don't just listen to half of what I said. What I meant was, why didn't you think of taking that little Zehan as your own?"
"What? He's my arch-nemesis, I'd rather skin him alive. How can you still consider him one of us?" Wang Bo looked puzzled, his eyes seeming to ask Wu Yaoqi "Are you still my mom or not?"
"Bo Er, there are no eternal enemies in this world. Your father often says that!" Wu Yaozi said softly: "If you put aside the conflict between you and that little Zehan, and evaluate him objectively, would you think he's a talented person who can be molded?"
"This..." Wang Bo let out a long sigh and nodded heavily: "He... is still quite formidable, if Mother hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that he had mastered the Ninefold Power in just half a year..."
Wu Yaozi nodded heavily: "Exactly, he may have broken through to the Bone Resonance Realm before the age of eighteen. Moreover, what I value in him is not his martial arts talent, but his cleverness. A child who can unknowingly use you at the age of twelve and make Jiang Long that old fox hate him so much at thirteen, don't you want him to be your helper?"
"Daughter..." Wang Bo was startled: "How can you say that Jiang Long also harbors unrelenting hatred in his bones?"
"What do you think Jiang Long is? If he hadn't been outsmarted by Ying Fu and Xiao Ze, he would have given Xiao Ze a crime of disrespecting her superiors." Wu Yaozi said with confidence: "He doesn't know, the more dissatisfied he is with Xiao Ze, the more it highlights Xiao Ze's abilities..."
After a pause, Wu Yaoyi continued: "Boer, your father is already 57 years old, and at most in seven or eight years, he will hand over the power of the Wang family. At that time, you and Wang Chen's cheap kind will definitely have another open struggle and secret fight. If there is a clever and capable person by your side to assist you, then I can rest assured!"
Wang Bo replied: "But I just can't swallow this insult, and..."
"Bo Er!" Wu Yaoyi solemnly interrupted: "Those who achieve great things do not get bogged down in trivialities. In the past, your father suffered many humiliations at the hands of the Lu family, but later he became allies with Lu Hongshan, didn't he? Moreover, it was thanks to the help from the Lu family that the Wang family has achieved its current dominant position!"
Wang Bo frowned: "But he's not Lu Hongshan, if he were Lu Hongshan, I could also be humiliated, but he's just a small Ze Nu!"
