Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 123 Wu In Danger



"Dad?" Xinyu questioned with her eyebrow raised.

It was clear she was interested in getting to know Xuefeng and one versus one training would be the best opportunity yet her father disagreed? Sect Master Liu was the one who objected as he approached them all and gazed at Xuefeng, ignoring his daughter completely.

"I want to see you in thirty minutes in the City Lord Palace. As your Master, I will be the one training you," Sect Master Liu declared seriously. "Do you accept?"

Xuefeng didn't even have time to say anything when Sect Master Liu nodded, "Good you agreed. We will see you all later then."

Embracing his wife's waist, he ordered, "We are going. You too, Xinyu. There is something I need to talk to you about."

Both mother and daughter got confused at the sudden actions, but they seemed to know when to protest and when to listen.

"Wait, Tianshi, do you mind if I teach you instead? I have a nice Art that would suit you," Xinyu called out as her father flew up with Golden Queen in his arms.

"Sure! Thank you," Tianshi agreed without hesitation.

"Perfect! See you in thirty minutes then~" Xinyu replied happily and followed her parents after one last glance at Xuefeng.

'What just happened? This is suspicious,' Xuefeng muttered. 'What is he planning?'

'Don't worry, I will warn you if we are in any danger beforehand,' Tianshi assured. 'I think Miss Golden likes you and knowing how much does Sect Master Liu loves her, he will at least hesitate before attacking you. He doesn't want to upset her, right?'

'He reminds me of someone too,' Ming muttered.

'Who?' Xuefeng wondered.

'You,' Ming replied simply, taking the opportunity to hold onto his arm. 'You wouldn't do anything that would upset any of us. You would rather pick the hardest way possible than to see us cry. I think he is the same.'

Xuefeng couldn't argue with that. Seeing his wives sad was worse than losing any treasure he had.

'But what if it's the necessary evil?' Xuefeng asked curiously. 'It's the Elemental Bracelet we are talking about. Just look at the Experts on the stage. All of them want it. He might as well want it as well.'

'Xinyu said her father is not at all interested in the Elemental Bracelet. If anything, it is his master that wants it. I'm sure he can reject that request if his wife pressures him,' Ming revealed. 'This is why I told you to make a good impression on her. You did a good job.'

'It's not like I did anything…' Xuefeng shrugged. 'All I did was being nice.'

'That's enough. It seems that you being yourself is the best charm for the ladies,' Nuwa cut into the conversation. 'Even the two Elf ladies have a thing for our Xuefeng.'

'Huh…?' Xuefeng got caught off guard as Nuwa suddenly came back, hugging him from behind. A cold chill ran through his back as if he did something bad.

'Don't worry, love, we know you did nothing wrong,' Nuwa assured. 'Anyway, the two Elf ladies backed off already. They said they will drop hunting you for my sake but we need to visit their Elvish Realm sometime in the future. I agreed on your stead.'

'Oh, do you know them?' Tianshi asked in relief.

'I don't, but they know me apparently. They met with my grandma and she seemed to be talking about her grandchild a lot. They also told me she is still alive, working as an elder in the Elvish Realm. I want to meet with her,'

'Sure, I don't mind, but we still have lots of things to do before we have time for that.'

They were still yet to reunite with everyone and he wanted to complete his promise. He didn't know how long can Thunder Goddess survive locked inside the ice.

'Talking about other things,' Nuwa muttered as she gazed at the experts behind them. 'Let's get going. I don't like the vibe of this place. When I talked with the ladies, I got a lot of murderous stares. What's more, there is something we need to focus on as soon as possible.'

Xuefeng followed her gaze and even now, they got stares. Thankfully, there were multiple Special Forces standing between them. It didn't seem like he would be allowed to join the rest of the Participants even if he wanted to. It was safer with them but still too risky to remain for longer.

'Let's go to the Flying Ship. We need to talk to President Wu,' Nuwa suggested. 'I already talked with Wu and told her she might be in danger.'

Xuefeng's eyes widened immediately.

'What…? Wu is in danger? Why didn't you say so earlier??' Xuefeng questioned, almost speaking out loud as he turned around to face her but Nuwa shut his mouth with her hand.

'Calm down. I only learned today and I was as pissed as you. If he didn't say he will give you the Fire Stone I would rip his flying ship apart,' Nuwa informed as she let go and flew up. 'I contacted Wu and she already figured out the danger herself and she said she will be fine. If I knew about it beforehand, I wouldn't leave her alone.'

Xuefeng and the rest quickly followed her.

'But what is going on exactly?' Xuefeng pressed. 'If she is in danger we need to hurry and save her.'

'No,' Nuwa disagreed. 'She said she has a plan already so we can only trust her. Wu asked me not to tell you as she knew how you will react. Your job is winning the Tournament and get the reward that will boost your strength immensely. If you resign, what was the point of joining in the first place?'

"It seems like Xuefeng will leave the Arena silently, ready to meet with his Master. If you want to meet him once again, buy tickets for tomorrow! The Finals start at noon! Don't be late!" the Commentator called out when Xuefeng finally reached the Flying Ship and saw the smiling face of President Wu.

He couldn't help but feel like removing the smile from his face. His Dragon Claw turned into a fist but he was too late.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Multiple guards landed in front of President Wu, their weapons in hand. If he wanted to do anything, he would have to get through them.

"Nuwa must have told you, right? How about we go inside and talk?"
