Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 222: The Tree Wishes to Remain Still but the Wind Will Not Subside

The people who followed Five Poisons saw he was dead and simply dispersed. None of them felt any grief for him.

Lan Zhengxiong, however, had a worried look on his face, prompting a puzzled Xia Qian to ask, "Uncle Lan, what's wrong?"

"Five Poisons is dead," Lan Zhengxiong said, "but we never got the antidote."

The Arrow Queen's expression turned solemn.

The Arrow King chuckled. "Everyone has to die eventually. Not dying at the hands of that disgusting Five Poisons is a blessing in itself. It's just... I really wanted all of you to live."

Lan Zhengxiong and the Arrow Queen shook their heads. If one of them had to die, they would each choose themselves.

Wu Tian hadn't expected to find such men of honor among the Seven Saints of Dragon Country. It seemed there were good and bad people among them after all.

"You're lucky you ran into my dad," the little guy suddenly declared.

Qin Yuhan and Xia Qian were reminded that Wu Tian was still here. The two beauties both turned to look at him.

Wu Tian smiled and stepped forward. "Do you have any needles?" he asked.

"Yes, yes, yes," Lan Zhengxiong nodded eagerly and produced a set of needles.

Wu Tian took them. The Arrow King, the Arrow Queen, and Lan Zhengxiong all watched him intently. Wu Tian's previous display had already shown them his extraordinary power. A person like that would surely possess exceptional Medical Technique. They all wanted to see it clearly. Lan Zhengxiong watched with particular intensity. I must watch closely and see what I can learn. He was also skilled in acupuncture, but he was powerless against the venom of Five Poisons.

But he was mistaken. In Wu Tian's hands, the needles became like Hidden Weapons, shooting out to strike the foreheads of Lan Zhengxiong, the Arrow King, and the Arrow Queen.

In the brief moment that Lan Zhengxiong and the others were still reeling from the shock, Wu Tian had already removed the needles.

Discovering the poison was completely gone, the Arrow King, the Arrow Queen, and Lan Zhengxiong stood there, stunned into silence.

"Hey, what are you all spacing out for?" the little one shouted, unable to stand the quiet atmosphere.

His shout finally snapped the Arrow King, the Arrow Queen, and Lan Zhengxiong back to reality. Their minds were still reeling, battered by waves of shock. They all shared a single thought: This medical technique is truly otherworldly, something that doesn't belong to the Mortal Realm.

Little did they know, Wu Tian's Medical Technique was, in fact, not of this world.

"Thank you."

"Yes, thank you."

"May I know our benefactor's honorable name?" Lan Zhengxiong asked. He still didn't know the name of the person who had saved them.

"Wu Tian."

Upon hearing the name, the Arrow King's expression immediately became conflicted. What? Huang Xuantian died at Wu Tian's hands, a matter that the Sword Emperor had suppressed. But I still know about it. The Seven Saints of Dragon Country are sworn brothers. I originally wanted to see for myself just what kind of brutal person Wu Tian is. I wanted to avenge Huang Xuantian. But from what I've seen today, this Wu Tian is clearly no villain; he's my savior.

The Arrow Queen patted her husband's shoulder. The Arrow King knew he shouldn't dwell on it. Looking at Wu Tian, he said, "I hope you and I will never be enemies."

A smile touched the corner of Wu Tian's mouth. "If no one provokes me, I don't kill. I am no murderer. Creatures as insignificant as ants are not even worthy of my attention, but if those ants become too bothersome, then they can only blame themselves."

The Arrow King nodded.

Afterward, Xia Qian collected the herbs she needed from the Herbal Manor, and then she, Wu Tian, Qin Yuhan, and the little one departed.

"I wonder how long he'll be staying in Peng City," the Arrow Queen said with a grave expression after Wu Tian's group had left.

"What are you worried about?" the Arrow King asked.

"Our nephew from the orthodox Huashan Sect, Lin Yi, is also in Peng City. Ever since he came out of seclusion, he seems like a different person—arrogant and overbearing. If he provokes Wu Tian, Huashan... might be finished," the Arrow Queen said, her tone heavy.

The Arrow King was taken aback. "Our nephew, Lin Yi, was originally a gentle and refined man. But since coming out of seclusion, he has given me a very effeminate and sinister feeling. Regardless, I trust him. Since the Huashan Sect chose him as the successor, he will surely restrain himself. Even if he runs into Wu Tian, he won't provoke him."

"Let's hope so," the Arrow Queen sighed.

「The next day.」

Wu Tian and the others spent another day having fun in Peng City. Speaking of Peng City, one had to mention its Eight Views: Roc Fortress, Lotus Mountain in Early Spring, Diaspora City Tapestry, Deep South Overflowing Colors, Wutong Mist and Clouds, Meisha Riding the Waves, One Street Two Systems, and Sheep Terrace Stacked Verdure.

Visiting all eight scenic spots in a single day would be impossible for most people, but Wu Tian managed to do it with Qin Yuhan, Xia Qian, and the little one.

By the time they had finished their tour, night had fallen. The Cui Family banquet was finally beginning. As a clan located in Peng City, the Cui of Qinghe naturally held significant influence. All of Peng City's corporations, families, and even passing Sects had sent representatives to show their respect.

The Cui Family estate retained its ancient architecture, with two grand and majestic stone lions guarding the main gate. A row of luxury cars was parked along the wall. Each one was priced at over a million, and some of their license plates alone were enough to intimidate people. As wealthy gentlemen, ladies, and their children passed by Wu Tian's group, they whispered among themselves.

"Why would the Cui of Qinghe suddenly hold a banquet? Husband, can you tell me what's going on?" a lady asked.

"Yes, Dad," her son chimed in. "The Cui of Qinghe aren't like those minor families. Anyone with an education knows how powerful they are. They are based in Peng City, and I've heard they only held a banquet once when they first established their household, and never again since. What's happening this time?"

Faced with his wife and son's questions, the gentleman had no choice but to answer. "I received some inside information. This banquet is being held for a certain master. The Cui Family hopes to use this banquet to show him that they are not his enemies."

Hearing this, his wife and son were stunned. What kind of person could make the mighty Cui of Qinghe so wary?

Meanwhile, Wu Tian's group walked on quietly. No one noticed him, and certainly no one realized that he was the true reason the Cui Family was holding this banquet. If Wu Tian didn't show up, the Cui Family's banquet would become a laughingstock.

Suddenly, Qin Yuhan was stunned when she spotted a figure entering the Cui Family estate. "Gona went in too," she said, confused.

Xia Qian also looked over and saw Gona and Watt entering with a group of people dressed like martial artists from various Jianghu sects. The last person in their group was holding a banner that read "Huashan"!

"Did you see that clearly? Gona went in with the Huashan Sect," Xia Qian said.

"I can't believe he's mixed up with people from the Huashan Sect. I wonder what kind of trouble will stir up later." Qin Yuhan's brows furrowed. She only hoped for everything to remain calm and for Wu Tian and the little one to stay safe.

But it seemed the tree wished for stillness, yet the wind would not stop.

Wu Tian, of course, had also noticed this. His Spiritual Sense had already locked onto the members of the Huashan Sect. Their leader was a young man, but he was wearing foundation, had his eyebrows shaped, and had something applied to his lips. Though clearly a man, his lips were more delicate than those of some young girls.
