Chapter 1974 - 1974: Wu Family’s Dispute 1
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the past, the family had entrusted the courtyard solely to the two brothers, granting them full control over it. However, since they were embarking on a long journey, they had arranged for Zidao’s Master to occupy the courtyard temporarily.
Given his role as Zidao’s Master, it was only natural to accommodate him alongside Zidao.
Although the Bai Clan was a small clan, it still adhered to certain unwritten rules.
Madam Wu had crossed a line with her actions.
They were specifically targeting Zidao because his cultivation surpassed that of any other member in the Wu family, while the two brothers’ cultivation lagged behind. If it were any other brother in the family, Madam Wu wouldn’t dare to bully them so blatantly.
Suppressing their anger, Wu Zimo and Wu Ziming remained composed.
They hadn’t expected such a situation when they brought their Master back.
The two brothers had no intention of causing trouble for others. Their only goal was to cultivate diligently and secure first place in the intermediate competition, thereby providing a conducive environment for their Master’s studies.
Once they arranged for him to leave, they would let the matter go.
Determination gleamed in the eyes of Wu Ziming and Wu Zimo.
Madam Wu hadn’t anticipated such resistance from the two brothers. She had already softened her approach and tried to reason with them, but they seemed entirely unappreciative of her kindness.
They were going to compete?
Why couldn’t they see their own limitations? Aside from bringing shame to their family, what else were they capable of?
Zidao was currently the most promising individual in the Wu family. Every decision made within the family revolved around facilitating his cultivation. If Zidao emerged victorious, it would be a monumental achievement for the Wu family.
Even their fellow brothers within the family had to defer to Zidao.
How could these two brothers be so oblivious to the bigger picture?
Madam Wu’s expression turned even darker, not bothering to conceal her displeasure.
“Competition?” She scrutinized the two brothers with a critical gaze. “Just the two of you?”
“Anyone in the family stands a chance of winning the competition, but the two of you have no chance whatsoever. Spare yourselves the effort. Our top priority now is to facilitate Zidao’s cultivation. Once Zidao emerges victorious, both of you will naturally benefit. You’re merely giving up the courtyard temporarily. Why are you so resistant? Can’t you see the embarrassment you’ve brought upon the family?”
Silence persisted.
“Today, whether you like it or not, you must comply,” Madam Wu asserted, devoid of any mercy.
With the current critical situation revolving around Zidao, Madam Wu held no fear. Although she acted reasonably within the confines of the family, she spared no consideration for the two brothers.
Wu Zimo and Wu Ziming’s firm gazes had started to well up with tears.
They hadn’t expected their family to treat them in such a manner.
There was no ounce of mercy.
Did this mean they had nowhere to stay and that they were now held in such contempt by the Wu family?
Wu Zimo observed the unfolding situation. If Wu Ziming were present, he would have implored the family’s patriarch to intervene.
Wu Ziming’s eyes brimmed with grievance. They had never fathomed a day when their own family would treat them like this.
Hong Fang and Fu Huarong gazed at him with pained hearts.
According to the rules, they were forbidden from interfering in Wu family matters.
They could only stand by and watch as Ziming and Zimo dealt with this on their own.
The head of the Wu family came over very quickly.
“Family Head, you have to stand up for us..”
