Chapter 1011 - 1012: Broken Hope (Part 1)
Usually, the madam had a fiery personality and was eloquent, while the daughter had a sharp tongue.
Why did they all look like they had just crawled out of coffins today? all of them had stiff, dead faces. Who were they trying to show their faces to?
The mother-daughter pair lowered their heads and kept quiet.
Hey!
Wu Xiong’s heart was burning with anger. This mother and daughter pair were too insensible, weren’t they?
Due to Xia qingchen’s presence, it wasn’t convenient for him to get angry. He could only say apologetically, “”I’ve embarrassed myself in front of young master Xia.”
He toasted again. I thank you on behalf of my daughter. You gave her a chance to soar. You also gave the Wu family great hope. You also gave me great confidence to return to the family.
He gave three reasons for toasting, and his eyes flashed with pain that no one knew.
The world only knew that he, Wu Xiong, was born in a famous family in the southern border.
However, who knew that he was forced to come out?
When he was young, he was also high-spirited and had unparalleled talent, but all of that could not resist the pressure of reality.
He was supposed to succeed the family head smoothly and become the new head of the Wu family, but because of a younger brother’s plot, he lost his reputation and became a sinner of the family.
His right to inherit was revoked, and his wife and daughter were all driven out of the Wu family to prevent them from smearing the Wu family’s reputation.
At that time, he was already a middle-aged man who was almost forty years old.
He instantly lost everything!
At that moment, he swore that he would return with a name and a reputation. He would make those foolish clansmen kneel in front of him and let the clansmen who had framed him receive the punishment they deserved.
However, reality was cruel.
After ten years of development, he was still a Wan Xiaoqi. Compared to the power of his family, he was not worth mentioning.
He didn’t have any hope of fulfilling his long-cherished wish, but his daughter did!
After his daughter started to cultivate, she showed amazing talent, far better than him in the past, and even better than all her peers in the Wu family of the southern border.
As long as he was carefully nurtured, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself.
At that time, their entire family would return to the Wu family in the southern border and make them repent for what they had done!
The heavens had eyes, and his daughter received favor and was actually fortunate enough to form a team with Xia qingchen, becoming the champion of the immortal demon chess game with a single stroke.
Not to mention how many rewards he would receive from the Prince of Liang, just the fact that he would be able to enter the emperor’s tomb after winning was something that money could not buy.
It was said that one day of cultivation there was equivalent to one year in the outside world.
As long as his daughter entered it and studied for three to five years, she would definitely be an Overlord-level figure that would shake a region.
At that time, he would return to the Wu family in glory and tell those old things in the family how blind they were.
Xia qingchen listened quietly, but he didn’t drink that cup of wine.
“Young master Xia, do you not like this wine?” Only after Wu Xiong finished his drink did he realize that Xia qingchen didn’t even take a sip.
Xia qingchen shook his head. wine. It’s good wine. But since you’re toasting me, I can’t drink it.
Uh …
Wu Xiong didn’t quite understand Xia qingchen’s meaning. “What do you mean, young master Xia?”
Xia qingchen suddenly understood the reason why Wu Xiong had come all the way here to welcome him and hold a banquet. He sighed and said, “”I thought Sir Wu’s wife and daughter had already told you about it.”
He looked at Wu Xiong’s still wet mist and said softly, “”I’m not on the same team as your daughter in the immortal demon chess game. There’s someone else on my team,”
Boom–
Wu Xiong felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him, causing his ears to ring and the scene before his eyes to become blurry and distorted.
It was as if a belief in a certain life had collapsed in an instant.
In the past one and a half months, from the moment he received the news, Wu Xiong’s heart had bloomed with joy. He was in a happy and relaxed mood every day and was filled with anticipation for tomorrow.
He had planned countless times on how to raise his daughter so that she could adapt well before entering the tomb of the human Emperor.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to meet some of the old seniors who had the opportunity to enter the tomb of the human Emperor and learn from their experiences.
Then, he would sum it up bit by bit, hoping that it would be of some help to his daughter.
But now, Xia qingchen was actually telling him that he didn’t get first place with his daughter.
That opportunity was given to someone else.
This was something that Wu Xiong could not accept.
After a long, long time …
Only then did Wu Xiong’s eyes regain focus. He silently put down the wine cup in his hand. It was as if there was a stone stuck in his throat, and he spoke with great difficulty,”Young master Xia, you mean … My daughter didn’t win the championship of the immortal demon chess game?”
Xia qingchen calmly nodded.
The last bit of hope in Wu Xiong’s heart dissipated like the wind, and it was replaced by an inexplicable anger after his hope collapsed.
“Young master Xia, at your most difficult time, at your most helpless time, at the time when you were about to even lose your qualifications for the immortal demon chess game, I forced my daughter to sacrifice her future to accompany you and form a team with you.”
“Now tell me, when you win the final victory, the one accompanying you will be someone else and not my daughter?”
He didn’t get angry and just calmly asked back.
But every word, every sentence, was sonorous and forceful, penetrating the heart.
He found it hard to accept this. How could Xia qingchen betray him?
When everyone didn’t think highly of Xia qingchen, he had gotten his daughter to form a team with Xia qingchen out of gratitude for helping his daughter obtain the Luo God’s lost Pearl.
Because of this, his wife made a big fuss at home, his colleagues pointed at him, and his friends did not understand and persuaded him …
How much pressure and risk did he have to bear?
But what happened in the end? Xia qingchen had hidden his strength and soared to the sky in a single bound. However, he abandoned his daughter and found someone else.
Why did Xia qingchen do this?
Did he not have a conscience?
Xia qingchen listened quietly and said softly, ” why do you think that I abandoned your daughter and not your daughter abandoned me? ”
He had never been an ungrateful person. Wu Xiong had taken the initiative to let his daughter form a team with him, which was why Xia qingchen had the qualifications to participate in the immortal demon chess game.
No matter what, he would give Wu Huan a hand.
However, even if he was willing to help, would Wu Huan be willing to appreciate it?
“What do you mean? You’re blaming my daughter for not cooperating?” “I know my daughter’s personality the best. Without my permission, she would not dare to disobey my orders!” Wu Xiong said.
MHM, ” Xia qingchen replied calmly. she doesn’t dare to, but someone else does.
Wu Huan was indeed afraid of his father. However, there was one person who would not.
Wu Xiong was startled and immediately thought of something. He looked suspiciously at Mrs Liu,”What is young master Xia saying? do you understand?”
Liu-Shi’s eyes dodged, and her face gradually turned white.
She wanted to deny it, but there were so many witnesses. How could she deny it?
“I’m sorry, my husband, I … I didn’t think it would be like this!” Liu-Shi revealed a pleading look.
Boom–
Wu Xiong’s mind once again exploded. His fingers trembled as he said, “”You … What have you done?”
Liu-Shi was silent. Wu Huan also lowered his head, finding it difficult to speak.
“Speak!” Wu Xiong’s eyes were red with anger. He threw the wine cup on the ground and roared like a lion. (That’s all for today. Tomorrow at noon.)
