Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Scared to Death (5th Update)

Cui Shanhe and Gona’s eyes lit up, as they shared the same thought as Nangong Yi. If they became friends with that person and reached a certain point in their relationship, he would naturally teach them his Unique Skill.

"Young Master Cui, are you certain he’ll attend your family’s banquet?" Gona asked immediately.

"Of course," Cui Shanhe said confidently. "We’ve also invited people from the Ma Family to our banquet. That formidable individual needs to collaborate with the Ma Family on certain matters. When my grandfather heard about it, he decided to act as the intermediary."

Gona and Nangong Yi both nodded, a glimmer of joy appearing in the eyes of the two usually composed young men. They were in awe of the young man’s martial prowess, believing that if they could learn even a thing or two from that powerful individual, their own Martial Path would improve significantly.

Wu Tian, Qin Yuhan, and the others had already come downstairs. Qin Yuhan shot Gona a displeased glance. "What are you doing here?"

Gona, however, was in no mood to deal with her and continued questioning Cui Shanhe. "Tomorrow, I’m going to your family’s banquet."

"I’ll go too," Nangong Yi declared.

Cui Shanhe nodded and smiled. "It won’t just be you two. The Arrow King is in Southern Province investigating the New Holy Land. When he heard that person was coming, he decided to make a detour to see him for himself."

The Arrow King is one of the Seven Saints of Dragon Country, ranked sixth. His archery is so incredibly precise that it’s said even the great General Li Guang, were he alive today, would be no better.

Wu Tian, Qin Yuhan, and their group prepared to leave the hotel to investigate why Xia Qian’s employee had suddenly resigned after getting the medicinal herbs.

But Gona wasn’t about to let them leave so easily. He turned to Cui Shanhe in frustration. "Nangong Yi and I are helpless against this man. We’re counting on you."

"Don’t use force," Nangong Yi added, nodding. "He’s not as simple as he looks. We have to use strategy."

Cui Shanhe scoffed. "Is he really as formidable as you claim? In that case, let me go meet him. By the way, I haven’t asked yet—what’s your love rival’s name?"

Cui Shanhe couldn’t care less about people like Qin Yuhan or Wu Tian. He was only concerned with the scions of the Five Surnames and Seven Families. The Five Surnames and Seven Families revered the Sword Emperor, who had once decreed that their disciples must not kill or scheme against one another. Otherwise, the Sword Emperor’s blade would show no mercy.

"His name is Wu Tian," Gona said coldly.

"Oh, so his name is Wu... what? Wu Tian?"

Once the name sank in, the arrogant expression on Cui Shanhe’s face vanished completely.

At the same time, Xia Qian noticed Cui Shanhe and was taken aback. She remembered that before she came to Yang City, Xiao Liang had specifically told her about the Cui Family of Qinghe and had even shown her photos of some of its members.

BEEP! BEEP! Suddenly, Xia Qian’s phone vibrated. She glanced at it and saw a text message from Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang knew Wu Tian had brought Qin Yuhan with him to Peng City and was afraid that calling might interrupt them at an inopportune moment. That was why he had texted Xia Qian instead. The message informed her that he had contacted an old friend, Cui Chong. Cui Chong was hosting a banquet, to which he had invited representatives from QQ and WeChat, so Xiao Liang was reminding her to bring Wu Tian along.

"Looks like we’ll be attending the Cui Family’s banquet," Xia Qian said, looking at Wu Tian.

Cui Shanhe, sitting not far away with his group, was overcome with shock. This Wu Tian... he really is *that* Wu Tian.

"What?" Gona was dumbfounded. How did things turn out like this? From what Cui Shanhe said earlier, attending the Cui Family banquet shouldn’t have been a problem. Besides, I’m a Rothschild! Cui Shanhe’s refusal won’t affect the strategic cooperation between our families, but how could he be so blatant about snubbing me?

Wu Tian was still unaware of the connection between himself and the Cui Family, but Cui Shanhe already knew who he was. Though Cui Shanhe was an arrogant young man, he deeply respected his father and idolized his grandfather. Whatever my grandfather says is law. If he said Wu Tian was an expert, then it must be true. Cui Shanhe believed it without a shadow of a doubt. He had to go over and explain things to Wu Tian immediately. He couldn’t let Wu Tian think he was in league with Gona and Nangong Yi.
