Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 227

The Cui Family Disciples scanned the entire hall, but they couldn't find anyone who matched their image of a revered expert.

Cui Chong smiled. "I want to make his acquaintance for the sake of the Cui Family, and also for you. I hope that one of you can catch his eye and learn a few moves from him. If so, achieving the Innate realm will be well within reach."

The eyes of the Cui Family Disciples lit up with excitement.

"Grandfather, you're so good to us."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

"Grandfather, I'll be sure to perform well in front of the expert later."

Each of the Cui Family Disciples voiced their eager promises.

Standing to the side, Cui Shanhe let out a faint chuckle and glanced disdainfully at his brothers. These fools can't even recognize a True Dragon. I am the only one worthy of becoming his disciple. At this thought, Cui Shanhe gazed proudly at Wu Tian's back.

Cui Chong laughed heartily; the old man was in high spirits today. For the past few nights, he had been calling Xiao Liang to ask just how formidable Wu Tian was. Xiao Liang had described Wu Tian as someone whose abilities were unmatched in heaven or on earth. Cui Chong knew his old friend wasn't one to exaggerate. He began to feel that it might not be impossible for the Cui Family of Qinghe to replace the Wang Family of Taiyuan. Perhaps they could even become the most preeminent of the great families. He was determined to have his descendants perform at their best.

"Grandfather, someone has committed murder here. This must be dealt with," Cui Shanshui declared. He suspected the expert might be observing the Cui Family Disciples from the shadows, so he had to make an impression now. Many large corporations used this method when hiring; the test had, in fact, already begun.

"What do you mean?" When he realized Cui Shanshui was talking about Wu Tian, Cui Chong's smile vanished, replaced by a grave expression.

Seeing his grandfather's reaction, Cui Shanshui felt his guess was correct—the test had indeed started. He glanced at his brothers, who still hadn't grasped the situation, and felt a flicker of disdain. He nonetheless said earnestly, "Grandfather, I think we must severely punish the murderer. This will show the expert that the Cui Family is a great house that upholds its laws, not some minor family where anyone can act recklessly. I suggest..."

"Enough. Say no more." Cui Chong immediately waved his hand, signaling Cui Shanshui to stop. He was actually asking him, Cui Chong, to punish Wu Tian? Cui Chong wondered if his grandson had gotten his head stuck in a door that morning.

But Cui Shanshui, still oblivious to Cui Chong's meaning, grew nervous. Did I pass? Or did I fail? No! Compared to my brothers who still have no idea what's going on, I've already done very well. That expert must have noticed me by now, right? A person who earnestly upholds family law will surely respect his master and honor his teachings in the future.

"Father, I think we should just invite him out," Cui Ming suggested, not wanting his sons to continue embarrassing themselves.

"Right." Cui Chong nodded and then clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

Cui Chong then spoke. "Esteemed guests, I welcome you all to the home of the Cui Family of Qinghe. I'm sure you already know this, but I organized this banquet to make the acquaintance of a great expert. And that expert is already here among us."

The people in the courtyard exchanged puzzled glances.

"Where is this expert?"

"An expert of that caliber must have an otherworldly demeanor."

"Who could it be?"

The guests looked around the courtyard but failed to spot such a person. They didn't give up, however, still searching curiously for the expert that even the proud Cui Family of Qinghe was so eager to befriend.

The Cui Family Disciples knew the expert was about to appear. Wu Tian was indeed formidable, and they were no match for him. Even now, he just stood there, completely unperturbed. However, the disciples were certain that once the real expert revealed himself, the young man who had killed so wantonly would be scared out of his wits.
