Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Surely Not a Biological Child?

"A Sword Saint is coming from Ghost Island to challenge our experts," Xiao Tianzan sighed. "Television and radio over there have already been running ads. The tagline is... ’A sword from the east, to vanquish all under heaven.’"

"Who is this Ghost Island Sword Saint?" Tellam asked.

"The current master of the Beichen One Sword Style, Sakamoto Shinryuma," Xiao Tianzan replied.

"It’s him," Tellam gasped, then nodded. "He is the successor to Sakamoto Ryoma. I’ve heard of him. He has always been immersed in the Martial Path, caring nothing for empty fame or official recognition. His only pursuit is legendary swords. I never thought he’d be manipulated by the Island Master of Ghost Island."

"Beichen One Sword Style is quite renowned," Wu Tian nodded. Though he wasn’t familiar with the sect, the name sounded vaguely familiar.

"So, what’s the official plan to deal with this?" Xiao Liang asked, getting straight to the point.

"There is a plan," Xiao Tianzan said with a solemn expression. "The solution is to ask the Seven Saints of Dragon Country to take action."

Xiao Liang nodded. The Seven Saints of Dragon Country were known as kings without a crown.

"The Seven Saints aren’t easily persuaded to intervene on behalf of others," Xiao Liang said. He knew one of them personally and understood them well.

"A high-ranking official has already contacted them," Xiao Tianzan sighed. "He ended up giving me their contact information. I reached out, and the Seven Saints made it clear they would take action for a price: 7 billion yuan."

"Outrageous!" Xiao Liang slammed his hand on the table, his face flushed with anger. "The Seven Saints have become so corrupt. Think of the old Saints, like Master Huang and Master Huo! They were dedicated to serving the country and its people. But today’s Seven Saints won’t lift a finger without a profit to be made."

"On my way here, I contacted the other regional Controllers," Xiao Tianzan added. "They said they’ve already spoken with some of the province’s tycoons. For the sake of the country, they are all willing to contribute to the 7 billion yuan."

Xiao Liang thought to himself, I really need to find some time to have a good talk with my son. A man has to learn to be content!

The list left Wu Tian speechless.

After a moment of thought, Tellam said, "Tianzan, I think you can rest easy. I’ve heard about them too. Many people say the Seven Saints have benevolent intentions. Apparently, the reason they need money is to establish schools for children in mountainous regions, build free hospitals, and fund other charitable projects. All of that requires a great deal of money."

Hearing this, Xiao Tianzan breathed a sigh of relief, figuring he had nothing to worry about if the Seven Saints were truly so kind-hearted.

Only Wu Tian’s eyes revealed a flicker of disappointment. What a shame. I was really hoping to see how entertaining the Seven Saints could be. I hope they can give me a good fight.

After chatting for a while longer, Wu Tian returned home. When he arrived, Qin Yuhan and Murong Yezi were already asleep. He went to his room and found the little one cultivating by himself. Wu Tian smiled and walked over to playfully pinch the child’s cheek, causing the little one to pout unhappily. "Dada, I’m sure I’m not really your kid."
