Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 128 The Kneeling Person
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Gu Weileng’s voice was cold, utterly disappointed in her senior brother, Lu Yunsheng.
"Sect Uncle, did you hear that? She says we’re spouting nonsense," Lu Yunsheng said, turning to Wuyunzi.
Wuyunzi’s brows furrowed. Gu Weileng said coldly, "Sect Uncle, I was referring to him."
"Even so, you are still in the wrong," Wuyunzi sighed. "Weileng, do you know who Yunsheng is? He is the next Sect Leader of Wudang’s true lineage, while you are the Sect Leader of the outer sect. How can you speak to him like that? Where is your respect as his junior sister? Apologize to your senior brother now."
"..." Gu Weileng remained silent, her refusal clear.
"Sect Uncle, look at her! Ever since she got Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng’s Secret Scroll, she’s become so arrogant. She thinks she’s a personal disciple of the grandmaster, with a higher seniority than even you," Lu Yunsheng continued to sow discord.
Wuyunzi decided to give her another chance. "Weileng, I am willing to give you one more opportunity. Apologize to Yunsheng, hand over the Secret Scroll to bring glory to Wudang, and I will let this matter go."
"I already told you, you’re mistaken," Gu Weileng said, shaking her head. "I don’t have any Secret Scroll from Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng."
"Hmph?" Wuyunzi’s frown deepened.
"Sect Uncle, please, just make a move!" Lu Yunsheng urged. "Weileng has become haughty and looks down on everyone. We have to show her our strength to turn her back into the obedient girl she used to be."
Hearing this, Wuyunzi nodded and looked at Gu Weileng. "I didn’t want to do this, but things have come to this. I must take action to make you see reason."
Instantly, Wuyunzi attacked. He unleashed the Wudang Palm Technique, a flurry of ruthless, incredibly fast strikes aimed at capturing Gu Weileng. She hadn’t wanted to fight, but backed into a corner, she had no choice but to defend herself. Wuyunzi was faster than she was. Knowing she couldn’t possibly dodge, Gu Weileng could only block. She executed a Tai Chi form, circling her hands to borrow and redirect his force as she clashed with him. Her Tai Chi could indeed redirect an opponent’s force, but it was difficult if their power vastly exceeded her own. The moment they made contact, a sharp pain shot through her fingers. She knew she was outmatched.
Just then, she felt a cool wisp of energy appear within her. It was as fine as a single strand of hair, but Gu Weileng knew—it was what Wu Tian had left in her body. Suddenly, strength surged through her entire being. Without a second thought, she once again assumed the opening stance of Tai Chi.
"Heh, Weileng, didn’t you just trade blows with our Sect Uncle? Your Tai Chi may be more profound than ours, but your cultivation level is no match for his," Lu Yunsheng sneered, his head held high.
Gu Weileng said nothing, simply performing Tai Chi once more. Relying on that tiny strand of Spiritual Power Wu Tian had left inside her, her movements suddenly bore a striking resemblance to Zhang Sanfeng’s. Her Tai Chi was fluid and seamless. Wuyunzi’s palm strikes were like surging ocean waves, yet Gu Weileng redirected his force, sending it hurtling back at him with the power to topple mountains and overturn seas. The returned force caught Wuyunzi completely off guard. It felt like a boulder smashing into his chest. His vision swam with stars as he coughed up blood, stumbling back several steps before collapsing onto his backside, utterly humiliated.
Lu Yunsheng watched, dumbfounded, his face draining of all color. This... this is impossible! Even if Gu Weileng had the improved Tai Chi Secret Scroll that Zhang Sanfeng developed while wandering the world, she’s only been cultivating for a short time. How could she possibly defeat our Sect Uncle? But then again... doesn’t this mean the Secret Scroll is even more powerful than I imagined? If I could get my hands on it, I, Lu Yunsheng, could become number one in the Dragon Country by the time I’m forty, the leader of the Seven Saints of Dragon Country!
He shouted to Wuyunzi, "Sect Uncle, let’s attack together this time!"
"Alright." Wuyunzi nodded, inwardly astonished as the same thought occurred to him. This Secret Scroll is unbelievably powerful! If Wudang could obtain it, we would have a real chance to become the top sect in all of Jianghu!
Instantly, Wuyunzi and Lu Yunsheng charged together, determined to capture Gu Weileng.
BOOM! BOOM!
Relying on that sliver of Spiritual Power, Gu Weileng simply extended her palms, sending both Wuyunzi and Lu Yunsheng flying backward to crash onto the ground once more. Terror and disbelief gripped their hearts. The two of us together... are still no match for her?
"I was wrong," Lu Yunsheng suddenly cried out. He knelt on the ground and crawled toward Gu Weileng, tears streaming from his eyes. "Junior Sister, I was wrong! It was my fault. Love can’t be forced. I shouldn’t have pressured you. Besides, everyone has their own fortuitous encounters. Now that you’re so powerful, it’s not my place to ask questions. Please, forgive me. If you don’t forgive me, I’ll just keep kowtowing!"
As he finished speaking, Lu Yunsheng kowtowed heavily, splitting his forehead open until it bled.
Seeing this, Gu Weileng sighed. "Senior Brother, please get up. I..."
She reached out to help him up, but at that exact moment, Lu Yunsheng’s hand flicked, scattering a packet of fine powder.
"You..." Gu Weileng stared in shock, unable to believe that Lu Yunsheng—the man hailed by everyone in Wudang as the next Zhang Sanfeng—would resort to such a dirty trick. Her vision blurred, and she collapsed to the ground unconscious.
"Heh heh. Ah, Weileng, Weileng, how could you ever hope to fight me? You had a brief lucky break, but that luck will soon be mine. That’s right. Just as a treasured sword belongs to a hero, this fortuitous encounter rightfully belongs to me," Lu Yunsheng declared, standing up straight and proud. In his heart, he could never be defeated.
Wuyunzi was stunned for a moment, not having expected Lu Yunsheng to make such a move.
"Take her back to Wudang," Wuyunzi said, recovering his senses as he walked over. "Then we’ll question her about the Tai Chi Secret Scroll."
"No, Sect Uncle, you don’t understand Weileng," Lu Yunsheng rejected the suggestion with a chuckle. "If she doesn’t want to talk, she’ll never say a word, no matter how we ask."
"Then what should we do?" Wuyunzi asked.
"Her only weakness is her kind heart. And dealing with kind-hearted people is just too easy." A scheme formed in Lu Yunsheng’s mind, his eyes glinting. "I have a great idea. We’ll use someone she cares about to threaten her."
"Absolutely not," Wuyunzi immediately refused, shaking his head. "Her father is the mayor of Yang City, her mother is the CEO of a company, and her grandmother is the Family Head of a major European clan. Our Jianghu sects are strong, but it would be unwise to make such powerful enemies right now."
"No, no, no, Sect Uncle, you misunderstand," Lu Yunsheng said, his eyes turning cold as he thought of someone. He clenched his teeth. "I’m referring to someone else. Weileng cares for him no less than she does her own parents. He’s the one we need to find. Once we capture him and use him as leverage, she’ll have no choice but to obediently hand over the improved Tai Chi Secret Scroll that Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng created during his travels."
