Chapter 75: Joining Wei Zhen's Faction (Seeking Bookmarks)

  Wei Hong was taken aback, this he really hadn't thought of, in his past life, from birth he was a sect disciple, so for the family, actually didn't understand much, thus quietly looked at Wei Zhen, waiting for him to continue speaking.

  "The Wei family has a big competition once a year, while the sect's competition is held every three years. During this period, many young men from the Wei family gather together, and they are all key figures being cultivated by the Wei family. In this way, it is a huge consumption for the Wei family." Wei Zhen said with a smile, looking at Wei Hong tightly.

  Wei Hong nodded slightly. The more talented one is, the more resources they need. Sometimes, many geniuses rely on medicinal materials and elixirs to support them from behind. But what does this have to do with factions?

  "So, the Wei family set up a Merit Hall, where they would often post some simple bounty tasks or have merchants and small families entrust them with things. Then, anyone in the Wei family could accept tasks based on their own abilities and receive corresponding rewards. Of course, the more difficult the task, the richer the reward. Some tasks were impossible for one or two people to complete, so teaming up would often happen."

  Upon hearing Wei Zhen's words, a hint of understanding flashed across Wei Hong's face. However, he immediately retorted, "But now, it seems that the factions are not just competing for tasks anymore!"

  "Not bad, now the various factions of the Wei family can be said to be in a state of uncontrolled struggle. However, with competition comes pressure, and with pressure comes motivation, so the family has been letting these factions do as they please." Wei Zhen heard Wei Hong's words and his face showed a hint of bitterness, and he explained softly.

  "Wei Hong, why don't you join our faction? Anyway, your entry into the main house is already a done deal. Moreover, we have such a good relationship, and joining us won't harm you either." Just as Wei Zhen's voice fell, Wei Ting looked at Wei Hong and suddenly asked with a hint of expectation.

  Wei Ting finished speaking, and Wei Zhen and Wei Zhong also looked at Wei Hong with a hint of expectation. If it was said that the two had initially befriended Wei Hong just to repay his kindness for saving their lives, then now Wei Hong's strength had made them determined to befriend him.

  "I can join in, but I have a condition." Wei Hong thought for a moment and made an instant decision, saying calmly.

  "What conditions?" Wei Zhen didn't show any anger on his face when Wei Hong mentioned conditions, and instead asked with a smile.

  "Factional struggles, I won't participate in them. I only accept teaming up to receive missions." Wei Hong said in a deep voice.

  "Alright, I promise you." Wei Zhen didn't hesitate at all and agreed right away.

  "Then I'll join you too." Wei Wuming said without waiting for Wei Zhen's inquiry.

  The conversation that followed was very pleasant. Since tomorrow's trial is quite important, after dinner, I returned to the Wei family directly.

  "Brother, I thought you wouldn't agree with Wei Hong." On the way back, Wei Ting looked at her brother and said with a smile.

  "Wei Ge, in my opinion, you shouldn't have agreed to it. Those tasks, we can basically all complete them, and most importantly, our struggle with other departments." Wei Zhong's face showed a hint of dissatisfaction, saying softly.

  "Haha, you two! You should know that if we don't agree, the three of them will probably join another department. And they're our department's people, even if they don't cause trouble, someone will still pick on them. Don't worry." Wei Zhen said with a smile, slightly proudly.

  "Wei Hong, why do you look so unenthusiastic? I think Wei Zhen is a good person, and besides, we both passed the test today. Are you worried about whether you can get first place tomorrow?" Another direction, Wei Ning looked at Wei Hong's expression and asked with a hint of confusion.

  "It's nothing, let's hurry back. I suddenly remembered that Xiao Ye hasn't eaten yet." Wei Hong slightly shook his head and quickened his pace.

  "Damn it, Wei Zhen is a sly guy too. Once you join his faction, even if you want to stay out of it, it's hard." Wei Hong cursed in his heart, and at the moment he parted ways with Wei Zhen, looking at the expression on Wei Zhen's face, he reacted instantly.

  "Haha, so this is the little maid brought by Wei Hong! A poor kid, pretending to be a young master, bringing such a dark-skinned little maid." In the fourth courtyard, Wei Yihang looked at Xiaoye who was about to fetch water and suddenly surrounded her, saying loudly with some exaggeration.

  "Hmm, if this little girl develops well physically, I reckon she'll be a beautiful woman too. Of course, that's if she changes her facial expression." A young man who was friends with Wei Yihang also walked over to Xiao Ye and chimed in.

  "Wei Yihang, you think you're capable? Tomorrow, have a fair fight with Wei Hong. Bullying a little servant girl like this, what kind of capability is that?" Wei Ze looked at Wei Yihang's slightly ugly appearance, holding his long sword, and directly slashed him open with one sword, saying disdainfully.

  "Wei Ze, do you think that just because your strength has increased, you can be reckless?" Looking at Wei Ze who was blocking his way, a hint of anger appeared on Wei Yi Hang's face as he spoke in a low voice.

  "Whatever grievances you have, settle it with me on the martial arts arena tomorrow. Or if you'd rather, you can just wait and fight Wei Hong directly. Bullying a weak little girl? You don't think that's shameful? I'm embarrassed for you." Wei Ze looked at Wei Yi Hang with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

  "You're looking for death." A flash of anger shot through Wei Yihang's eyes as he slapped both palms towards Wei Ze.

  "Bang!" Wei Ze gently pushed Xiao Ye, who was slightly frightened, to the back, and at the same time, his sword clashed with Wei Yi Hang's double palms.

  "Boom."

  Wei Ze unconsciously took a few steps back, while Wei Yi Hang didn't move at all. At this time, Wei Yi Hang's face revealed a ferocious expression, and he directly took another step forward, preparing to thoroughly teach Wei Ze a lesson.

  However, he suddenly remembered the warning from that woman and stopped his attack. He looked at Wei Ze with a gloomy expression and said, "Tomorrow, I will give you a profound lesson."

  Wei Ze faintly revealed a hint of mockery, just at this moment, one of them raised their head and saw Wei Hong and three others walking in from outside.

  When Wei Hong saw Wei Ze and Wei Yi Hang fighting in the fourth courtyard, he didn't care, but when he saw Xiao Ye behind Wei Ze, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly came to Xiao Ye's side.

  "What's going on?" Wei Hong floated lightly in front of Xiao Ye, looking at her slightly frightened expression, and asked in a low voice.

  When Wei Hong heard the whole story from Xiao Ye, his face suddenly turned ugly. He swiftly turned around and stared tightly at Wei Yi Hang, a flash of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

  Wei Hong walked step by step towards Wei Yihang, and seeing Wei Hong's appearance, a hint of fear flashed across Wei Yihang's face. However, he then pretended to be shocked and said: "Fighting is not allowed here."

  Wei Hong gazed at Wei Yihang's appearance, a hint of cold smile on his face, still ignoring him as he walked towards him.
