Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 71: The Mysterious Sword

Everything was within Wu Tian’s control. This was another application of Spiritual Power, one that could influence a person’s emotions. It was ineffective against those with a resolute heart; Wu Tian’s Spiritual Power could not sway someone truly intent on a course of action. However, it could influence those who were conflicted and hesitant.

"How dare you treat me like this? Do you have any idea who I am...?" Before Wang Wei could finish his angry retort, an egg smashed onto his face.

"Who was that? Who did that?" Wang Wei roared.

Immediately after, a barrage of objects rained down from the audience. The parents in the crowd had brought drinks, bread, and snacks. Some had even bought eggs in preparation for the afternoon, and now they hurled everything at him at once.

"How dare you! Aren’t you afraid of the Wang Family’s wrath?"

"Stop throwing things! Do you hear me?"

"Please, I’m begging you, stop!"

At first, Wang Wei remained defiant, but he eventually lost heart. The public’s anger was simply unstoppable.

Of course, there were journalists covering the children’s singing competition. They had assumed the event would be routine and never expected to witness such blatant underhanded manipulation—a newsworthy story in itself. But they were completely unprepared for the scene of Wang Wei being pelted with eggs. This was definitely big news, and the reporters immediately began snapping pictures.

Some smaller newspapers were too afraid to report on the matter, fearing retaliation from Wang Wei. However, agencies with stronger backing were delighted. They finally had a real story.

In the end, Wang Wei fled in disgrace with Qiu Yanyan and Wang Tian.

"Ah... my championship... my championship!" Wang Tian cried.

Despite the family’s departure, the competition wasn’t over. The award ceremony continued, and the little guy finally won the championship. The prize was a gold medal. After putting it on, the little guy danced with joy.

When they returned home, the little guy continued to sing happily.

As for the Wang Family? Qin Yuhan later told Wu Tian that their sales had dropped in the following days. Word of the incident spread, and most people no longer wanted to shop at the Wang Family’s clothing stores. Qin Yuhan estimated that at this rate, the Wang Family would be expelled from the ranks of the four great families within three years. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Wu Tian didn’t care what became of the Wang Family.

During this time, Lin Tianlong repeatedly tried to arrange a meeting with Wu Tian, but he was rejected every time. Wu Tian felt that Lin Tianlong was unworthy of being his friend. Besides, Wu Tian had no time for making new friends. He was busy using jade to craft a Magic Artifact.

He finally succeeded in creating a Jade Pendant. While it appeared ordinary, it contained spiritual patterns that only someone with a certain level of Cultivation could perceive.

It’s finally done. I’ll have the little guy wear it, Wu Tian thought with a smile. It was crafted from glassy jadeite. Wu Tian had used a small portion of it to make porridge, but the majority was refined into this wondrous Jade Pendant.

Of course, he had to test its effects before giving it to the little guy. Even a Saint is not infallible. Although Wu Tian was confident in his work, this was for the little guy to wear. It wouldn’t do for there to be any mishaps.

Wu Tian went downstairs to find the little one, but just then, a guest knocked on the door.

Qin Yuhan went to answer it. She was a cold, aloof CEO, but she couldn’t maintain that icy demeanor in front of Murong Yezi, as if afraid her beautiful mother-in-law wouldn’t approve of her. When she opened the door, Qin Yuhan was quite surprised to see the guest.

"CEO Xia, it’s you?"

"CEO Qin? What are you doing here? Isn’t this Mr. Wu Tian’s home?" Although Xia Qian had investigated Wu Tian, she hadn’t expected to find him living with Qin Yuhan.

Living together? Could it be that Qin Yuhan has also discovered Wu Tian’s miraculous abilities and wants to claim him for herself? Xia Qian mused.

Just then, Wu Tian walked over.

"Mr. Wu Tian, I’m so sorry for the intrusion," Xia Qian said after a moment’s thought. "It’s just that my grandfather suddenly remembered a sword he once acquired and wanted to ask you to take a look at it."

"A sword?" Wu Tian’s eyes lit up.

He once had a sword named "Wutian" that could cleave through space and create new dimensions, but he had left it behind in the Immortal Emperor Realm. He currently had no suitable weapons. He was intrigued and wondered what this sword was like.

"Yes. It’s not a famous sword, but it’s a strange one," Xia Qian said, her tone still filled with wonder. "No matter what we try, it can’t be drawn. The blade is permanently stuck inside the hilt."

"Alright," Wu Tian agreed. He wanted to see for himself just what kind of sword this was.

As Wu Tian and Xia Qian left, Qin Yuhan watched their departing figures, a displeased look in her beautiful eyes.

"Mommy, who is that big sister?" the little one asked, touching on a sore subject. "Will Papa want her to put me to sleep in the future, too?"

"..."

Qin Yuhan’s eyes turned as cold as ice. She felt that what she did last time wasn’t enough. This time, after locking the door, she would lock the windows too.

Let’s see how he gets in then! Hmph!

「This time, they were headed to Baiyun Mountain, the most prestigious district in Yang City.」

Anyone who owned a villa here was either rich or noble.

Xia Qian led Wu Tian to a manor designed in a leisurely, natural style. However, the most eye-catching thing was the car parked out front. It was a Land Rover, the kind worth three to four million.

When she saw the license plate, Xia Qian’s elegant eyebrows furrowed. "Not good, they’ve arrived."

"They?" Wu Tian asked, puzzled. From her tone, he could tell that these visitors were not friendly.

"You know my grandfather is from the Xiao Family of Lanling," Xia Qian said with concern. "When he took out that sword, one of the servants suddenly disappeared. Now I understand. That servant was a spy planted by the Xiao Family of Lanling to watch my grandfather."

"What a clan. They don’t even trust their own family, planting spies next to them," Wu Tian remarked with a slight nod. "The conflicts within these great families are far more terrifying than those in ordinary households."

Among powerful clans like the Five Surnames and Seven Families, incidents of fathers killing sons were common. If relations between father and son were like that, what could be said of uncles and other relatives?

Xia Qian then told Wu Tian that, in terms of seniority, her grandfather Xiao Liang was ranked third within the Xiao Family of Lanling. He was considered a clan elder.

They entered the manor, which was filled with pavilions and towers in a classic Chinese style. The main hall was decorated similarly.

"Mr. Wu Tian, you’ve arrived," Xiao Liang said, standing up to greet him.

Wu Tian nodded in return. He looked around the hall and saw two other men: a young man in his twenties with an arrogant expression and a man in his forties. The youth was presumably a young master from the Xiao Family of Lanling. The older man wore a Sun Yat-sen suit and, strangely, had a sword at his waist—a rare sight in the modern city.
