Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 52nd - : The Illegitimate Child

The evening was a joyous one, and Wu Tian finally understood what true happiness was. This was a kind of happiness he had never possessed as the Wutian Celestial Emperor, and he swore to protect it with all he had.

The next day, Wu Tian and Qin Yuhan sent the little one to kindergarten before heading to the corporation.

The turmoil from Wu Tian’s race with Nangong Yi gradually subsided. Wu Tian had never taken Nangong Yi, or even Nalan Feng, seriously. But they clearly didn’t see it that way. From that day on, Nangong Yi became even more diligent, drafting partnership proposals with various companies. He firmly believed his proposal was the reason Qin Corporation had managed to partner with multinational enterprises, which filled him with pride. Wu Tian, oh Wu Tian, you can’t possibly beat me in this regard.

Finally, Friday arrived. After work that evening, Liang Qingren came to invite Wu Tian to dinner, but he refused. This left Liang Qingren frustrated. Can my looks really not charm him? She was disappointed and resolved to work harder to improve herself.

After work, once everyone else had left, Wu Tian and Qin Yuhan drove to pick up their little girl. They then returned to Wu Tian’s home, where Murong Yezi was overjoyed to see her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Murong Yezi had even prepared a grand feast of delicious dishes.

After dinner, the family gathered to listen to the little girl sing. The small home was filled with an air of joy.

Wu Tian thought to himself, How wonderful would it be if our family could stay this happy forever?

Just then, his phone rang again. It was Xiao Liang, who rarely called.

"Mr. Wu Tian, a student of mine just opened his business tonight. Would you be interested in taking a look?" The more Xiao Liang learned about Wu Tian, the more astonished he became. He had a vague guess about Wu Tian’s identity, which was why he used such a respectful form of address.

Wu Tian smiled. No matter what Xiao Liang guessed, he was bound to be wrong. His guesses were far too small, far too shallow.

"What kind of business did your student start?" Wu Tian asked. Unless absolutely necessary, he preferred not to leave his mother, wife, and child.

"He opened Yang City’s first Gambling Stone Field. There’s a new shipment of raw stones arriving tonight."

"Jade?" Hearing the term "gambling stone," Wu Tian’s mind immediately went to jade. In many cultivation novels, the protagonist relied on jade for their cultivation. He was now eager to give it a try.

"That’s right, jade. Many enthusiasts, both young and old, will be there tonight. We might even witness the rise of Yang City’s own Gambling Stone King," Xiao Liang chuckled over the phone.

"Alright, I’m interested," Wu Tian replied directly.

"Great, great! Then I’ll arrange for someone to come pick you up," Xiao Liang said.

"Mm."

Wu Tian nodded in agreement. He had no idea where the Gambling Stone Field was located. It was one of those places only the wealthy knew about, and without a guide, he would never find it.

After hanging up, Wu Tian looked at his mother, Murong Yezi, Qin Yuhan, and the little one. "You guys watch TV first," he said. "I have to step out for a bit."

"Going out so late?" Murong Yezi asked, puzzled.

"It’s important," Wu Tian replied. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Murong Yezi could only nod. After glancing at Qin Yuhan, however, she said to Wu Tian sternly, "You’d better not disappoint Yuhan. It’s already nine o’clock, and you’re going out to mess around with disreputable women."

Wu Tian laughed. "Don’t worry, I won’t."

A short while later, the sound of a car pulling up could be heard from outside. Wu Tian laughed and said, "I’m leaving."

Judging by the engine’s sound, Wu Tian could tell exactly what kind of car it was. It was a Buick, and more specifically, it was Xia Qian’s Buick. Just as every person’s fingerprints are unique, every car model has a distinct sound. But only Wu Tian possessed such an inhuman ability.

Wu Tian went outside, got in the Buick, and left. From the window, Qin Yuhan saw the entire scene play out. She recognized the car’s license plate.

「The Gambling Stone Field」

It was located in a man-made valley on the outskirts of Yang City. The environment was tranquil and beautiful.

Upon arriving, Wu Tian got out of the car first, while Xia Qian went to park the Buick.

It had to be said that Xia Qian’s Buick was the cheapest car there. Other vehicles, like BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes-Benzes, were considered low-end here. Lamborghinis were the most common sight.

But these are mere worldly possessions, unworthy of my notice. Such common things are unfit to be my official mount. Only a Nine Heavens Dragon or a Nine Nether Sparrow is worthy of carrying me.

This train of thought reminded Wu Tian of his Little Kirin. Unfortunately, the little creature loves to sleep and has been slumbering for the past few days. If I didn’t know it was a Qilin, I’d think it was a pig.

The plump security guard saw Wu Tian with Xia Qian and allowed him to enter the valley.

The valley’s decor blended with nature, featuring mountains and water, creating a high-class ambiance. People bustled about, the men all sporting slicked-back hair and wearing expensive suits. There were quite a few middle-aged and elderly people, as well as many around Wu Tian’s age.

They gathered in groups of three or five. Everyone in Yang City’s wealthy circle knew each other. It’s precisely this kind of environment that leads many women to reject men by saying, "We’re from different worlds." They must see themselves as part of the elite.

Someone like Wu Tian, dressed in casual wear, naturally attracted a lot of attention, causing most of them to shake their heads. To them, it seemed, a person’s talent, strength, and capability were judged not by their substance, but by their appearance. Many young men in expensive suits wore smirks of superiority.

"Boss, what are you doing here?" a naive-sounding voice suddenly called out.

Wu Tian turned to see the chubby Lin Fa and laughed. "I could ask you the same thing."

"I..." Lin Fa hesitated, struggling to find the words. He was afraid of being looked down upon.

Glancing at Lin Fa’s face, Wu Tian smiled. "Your birth doesn’t matter. You should know that the First Emperor of Qin, an emperor for the ages, was a bona fide illegitimate son."

"Ah!" Hearing Wu Tian say the words "illegitimate son," Lin Fa couldn’t help but cry out. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Boss, you’re incredible! You can... you can even tell that?"

"What’s so incredible? Big Brother, you were probably just dumb enough to let it slip yourself," an arrogant young man said as he strode over. He took off his suit jacket and tossed it at Lin Fa. "Here, Big Brother, hold this for me."

He treated Lin Fa completely like a lackey, not like the "Big Brother" he called him. Having to do this in front of Wu Tian made Lin Fa feel ashamed, but he still obediently took the suit jacket. Seeing this, Wu Tian couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Hey, are you a friend of my big brother?" the man asked, looking at Wu Tian.

Wu Tian, however, couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention.
