Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Terrifying Imaginations

Huang Xuantian sized up the people present. The expert Xiao Tianzan invited must be at least forty years old.

"You?" Huang Ming pointed at an old man and asked coldly.

"No, no, no, it’s not me." The old man was so frightened his face turned pale.

"Then is it you?" Huang Ming then pointed to a middle-aged man standing with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Don’t get the wrong idea. I was just trying to look impressive," the middle-aged man said, his legs already trembling.

"Then it must be you?"

"Ah!" An eighty-year-old man, seeing Huang Ming pointing at him, spat up a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

"Xiao Tianzan, where in the world is this person you mentioned?" Huang Xuantian asked, his gaze turning ice-cold as he looked at him.

Wu Tian, from the New Holy Land, had already appeared in the crowd, completely unnoticed.

Just then, he stepped forward, his handsome face drawing everyone’s attention. The soldiers didn’t recognize him, but Ye Tianshi felt a sense of familiarity. This man’s build is quite similar to the one who entered the New Holy Land that day.

"You? What are you doing here?" Huang Ming asked, clearly displeased.

"You know him?" Huang Xuantian inquired.

"Yes." Huang Ming nodded. "He is the one I mentioned, the arrogant one who doesn’t know his place."

"Oh." Huang Xuantian nodded dismissively. He was only interested in the master Xiao Tianzan had brought; as for anyone else, he couldn’t care less.

Yet Wu Tian walked right up and stood directly opposite Huang Xuantian.

"What is he doing?"

"I have no idea."

No one thought Wu Tian could possibly be the expert Xiao Tianzan had found. They were all baffled as to why he had gone up there. Why would he step forward at a time like this? What on earth was he thinking?

No one could begin to guess.

Only Huang Ming considered a certain possibility, and his face turned ashen. "So that was your plan," he sneered. "How clever, how very clever. But let me tell you, you’re delusional."

Wu Tian’s brow furrowed slightly. He had no idea what Huang Ming was talking about.

"Do you know what he’s trying to do?" Huang Xuantian was also puzzled.

Huang Ming looked at his master and nodded. He took a deep breath before speaking. "His aptitude is better than mine, I admit that. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be more skilled than me even though we’re the same age. I once told him that family background is crucial and that I would eventually surpass him. He didn’t believe it then, but I think he believes it now."

"Hmm." Huang Xuantian nodded. "And?"

"So, he came here today to ask to become your disciple," Huang Ming said, looking at Huang Xuantian with concern. "Master, you can’t accept him just because his aptitude is good."

Huang Xuantian nodded. The possibility Huang Ming raised was plausible. Why did Huang Feihong teach martial arts to people like Liang Kuan and the butcher back in the day? It was because the Huang Family was in a slump, with no talented successors in sight.

He took another, closer look at Wu Tian. This young man’s temperament is truly exceptional, quite rare. Huang Xuantian genuinely felt a flicker of an idea to accept him as a disciple.

The Huang Family’s martial arts were only to be passed down to Huang Family disciples; that was a rule set by the previous Family Head. But as the current Family Head, Huang Xuantian naturally had the authority to change it.

"You wish to be my disciple? It’s not that simple," Huang Xuantian said, standing with his hands behind his back. "It’s not impossible for an outsider to learn the Huang Family’s martial arts."

"Master!" Huang Ming cried out in a panic. If Wu Tian also becomes Huang Xuantian’s disciple, it will be impossible for me to ever catch up to him in this lifetime.

Suddenly, Huang Xuantian raised three fingers. "However, for an outsider to learn my Huang Family’s martial arts is no simple matter. You must fulfill three conditions."

"First, you must recognize me as your adoptive father!"

"Second—"

"Forget about the second," Wu Tian cut in, exasperated. He got straight to the point. "You’re all morons. You’ve completely misunderstood my intentions."

What? Huang Ming was stunned. I misunderstood? How humiliating!

Wu Tian smiled at the thought of something. I promised the little one I’d leave Huang Ming for her to deal with. One shot from her Family-Ending Kick, and his vow will be fulfilled instantly.

Xiao Tianzan felt he had to step in. I need to tell everyone that Wu Tian is the expert I invited.
