Prodigal System in the Flourishing City
Chapter 1524 - 1526: Each Dirtier Than the Last
Jiang Lei said a word to Lu Xiaobu and hurried to the gate.
"Wu Wei, what do you want to do?" Jiang Lei looked unfriendly at the neatly dressed Wu Wei, who was also carrying a gift.
"You know it in your heart, why ask?" Wu Wei glanced at Jiang Lei, showing a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Looking at you, you probably didn’t bring out much to make people satisfied, right? That’s why you’re afraid I’ll steal your thunder when I go in?"
"You!" Jiang Lei was hit in a sore spot, and his gaze grew even more unfriendly.
This Wu Wei guessed it right.
"Stop you and me." Wu Wei waved his hand: "Now, let me in! Otherwise, I’ll tell the whole city about this. Do you want everyone to come, or just you and me?"
"If it’s just our two families, since you made friends with the high figure first, even if you can’t satisfy the high figure, it wouldn’t be too bad!"
"But if the whole city knows, then... you won’t be able to rank!"
"Can you stop me and also stop the City Lord?!"
Wu Wei laid out all the pros and cons, watching to see what Jiang Lei would do!
Hearing this, Jiang Lei gritted his teeth and unwillingly turned around: "Please, go ahead!"
He knew that Wu Wei was speaking the truth, and he could only choose this way!
"Thank you." Wu Wei smiled slightly and turned to Wu Shaopu: "Shaopu, follow me."
"Yes, Father!" Wu Shaopu quickly said.
"I warn you, don’t try any tricks!" Jiang Lei spoke up as Wu Wei brushed past him.
"Tricks? I don’t have your skills!" Wu Wei laughed and walked into the Jiang Family house.
Wu Shaopu gave Jiang Lei a proud look before walking inside.
At this moment, the corner of Jiang Lei’s mouth suddenly curled up into a mysterious smile.
He had not been warning but reminding.
Reminding Wu Wei to remember to play tricks!
He had already witnessed the terror of this god-like person.
If Wu Wei dared to play tricks, the outcome could be imagined.
Then, he also turned and walked inside.
The Wu Family and Xue Family had been fighting for many years, and it was always hard to determine the superior. It was mostly because the Wu Family had some edge due to their cultivator, not without reason.
Wu Wei could infer the truth from mere clues, while Jiang Lei could use clever words to trap Wu Wei.
...
The Jiang Family Hall.
"Lord, I, Wu Wei, was blind and did not recognize Mount Tai, and looked down on you with dog eyes. I have specially come to apologize with my son! I hope you, Lord, are magnanimous and do not take it to heart with us!" Wu Wei slightly bowed, holding a finely crafted box as he walked over slowly.
He placed the box in front of Lu Xiaobu, then stepped back two steps, standing again at the doorway next to his son.
"Oh!" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, looking at Wu Shaopu playfully: "Just to apologize?"
"Yes, yes, to apologize! To apologize!" Wu Wei immediately nodded.
However, he had another thought in his heart.
It’s hard to speak with a mouth full, with hands tied from taking.
The weight of what’s inside was not as simple as just an apology.
The result.
"Then I’ll accept it. I also accept your apology. You can leave." Lu Xiaobu didn’t even open the box, just set it aside and said mockingly.
"This..."
Wu Wei instantly panicked!
What’s going on? Why isn’t he playing by the rules?!
How can you not open it and take a look?!
Inside are the treasures the Wu Family has accumulated over the years.
Without a cultivator, these things would be unattainable!
"What? There’s more!?" Lu Xiaobu’s mocking expression became even more pronounced.
"No! No!"
Wu Wei was now swallowing broken teeth!
He couldn’t tell the truth.
Doing so wouldn’t achieve his purpose and might even anger the other party!
Damn it! I’m at a loss now! A huge loss!
Wu Shaopu was a little anxious, opening his mouth to speak.
But Wu Wei, who knew him well, immediately grabbed Wu Shaopu!
This Shaopu lacks patience!
If the high figure is happy after suffering some loss now, maybe they’ll get some leftovers!
If you say the truth now, it will only anger the high figure and serve no purpose!
At this time, Jiang Lei leisurely walked in from the entrance, glancing at Wu Wei with a mocking smile.
Old fox, got bitten, didn’t you!
Wu Wei looked at this expression and smile, gritted his teeth but couldn’t say anything!
He understood it all, Jiang Lei did it on purpose!
Was deliberately discussing trickery with him!
Damn it! This old bumpkin!
Are you happy now? We can’t suppress you now, and we’re basically on par!
But just at this moment.
"Dong dong dong!"
The Jiang Family’s gate was knocked again.
The servants rushed over: "Family Head, Family Head, people from the City Lord Mansion are here!"
"What?! People from the City Lord Mansion?!"
Jiang Lei’s heart sank, and Wu Wei’s eyes narrowed.
They both guessed that the people from the City Lord Mansion came at this time and couldn’t be about anything other than the high figure!
"Was it you!" Jiang Lei said through gritted teeth.
"Am I that stupid?!" Wu Wei also gritted his teeth!
"Then who?!" Jiang Lei wished he could go out and swear!
How did something so trivial become worldwide news?!
Now that the City Lord Mansion people have come, can they still keep this high figure?!
"Let’s go, greet them!" Jiang Lei gritted his teeth, but had no choice but to go out.
Wu Wei also gritted his teeth and followed!
Both of them were hoping it was about something else.
Even if it was to arrest them!
Although unlikely!
At the entrance.
"Lord Tu, why did you come personally?!" Jiang Lei tried to squeeze out a smile as he looked at the person at the entrance.
This was a favored person around the City Lord!
Now that he’s here, there’s no way they can avoid it!
Tu Hejiu looked at Jiang Lei, then at Wu Wei behind him, and suddenly smiled: "It’s rare to see the two Family Heads getting along so well."
This statement was filled with mocking emotion.
Jiang Lei and Wu Wei both paused, then showed bitter smiles.
"Alright, enough nonsense. The City Lord heard a god-like figure has arrived and invites the god-like figure to the City Lord Mansion for a discussion."
Tu Hejiu said with a grin.
"This..."
Upon confirmation, Jiang Lei felt mixed emotions inside.
It still came!
Wu Wei was also furious to the point of bouncing with anger!
Just swallowed a bitter pill, hoping for some leftover soup, and now with the City Lord Mansion getting involved, is there any soup left to get?!
After all, comparing goods throws away the lesser one!
"What? Unwilling?!" Tu Hejiu’s voice rose by eight degrees.
"No, no, no, I mean, it depends on what the god-like figure wants!" Jiang Lei was now just like Wu Wei earlier, swallowing broken teeth!
"Of course!" Tu Hejiu nodded, heading inside.
The sheriff reported the matter back, and he immediately sensed something was fishy.
Coupled with the strange events at the testing square today, upon linking the two, he guessed most of it!
