In an ancient looking room, a woman sat by the bed with a worried expression on her face. Behind her, a pretty maid was kneeling and crying as she covered her face.

Faintly, a commotion could be heard outside the room. It sounded like someone was making a ruckus; it was extremely chaotic.

Wu Hao released her soul consciousness and felt everything that was happening around him, his heart was filled with emotions. He was an Innate Ranker, but in order to get rid of fate, he detonated his own body in the Primal Chaos Ancestral Sea, allowing a sliver of his soul consciousness to rely on the origin of Sky Fury to escape into this world and search for its host.

The previous owner of the body in front of him was also named Wu Hao, and was the young master of the Tianyun Capital. As a young master, he had accidentally lost his father in the Snow Region, so he should have inherited the family business and should be in charge of the family's power.

However, an unexpected serious illness nearly took his life. If it wasn't for Wu Hao coming, he would have lost his life long ago.

"What a pitiful child, to think that he was hit by the Nine Revolutions Broken Spirit Powder, and his soul consciousness was actually broken into pieces!" Wu Hao couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

As the young master of the Wu Clan, he was the only son of the direct line of descent. If he died, then the side branch would naturally inherit the clan's property. His second uncle's branch was making a ruckus outside the door, and the entire Wu Clan was in chaos.

"Humph, the Wu Clan cannot afford to lose an owner. Whether they live or die, we have to see for ourselves. Otherwise, we can immediately choose the clan head and inherit the family property!"

Just as Wu Hao was trying to control his body, an old butler ran in hastily.

"Madam, Second Master brought his men to rush in. I'm afraid our men won't be able to stop them ?"

"Scram, you dog slave, how dare you be my, Wu Tianzong's, path, you are courting death!" Before old housekeeper could finish his words, he heard a ruthless shout from behind him, followed by the sound of someone falling down.

As she slowly stood up, a middle-aged man with a dark expression slowly walked in from the door with his hands behind his back. Behind him were dozens of followers and the Wu clan's branch disciples.

"Second Master, why have you come to my wife?" The woman slowly turned around and looked at the person who had arrived. However, her expression was extremely calm as she asked this. She had the aura of a person in power and was not afraid of danger.

"Sister-in-law, the leader of the family has fallen and the Wu family has been suppressed. My nephew is now too ill in bed to take charge. We should re-elect the leader as soon as possible and take over the family business to restore the Wu family's former glory!" Wu Tianzong looked at the lady and explained.

"Second master, you have worked hard. However, the re-election of the head of the family is a matter for the direct line of descent of the Wu family. There is no need for you to interfere!" The woman looked at Wu Tianzong, her expression unchanging, and slowly replied.

"My nephew is the only direct descendant of the Wu Clan, but he is now seriously ill in bed. Even the Imperial Physician is saying that he is powerless to reverse the situation, so I think Madam, you should stop insisting. Otherwise, all the assets accumulated by the previous ancestors of the Wu Clan will be destroyed by your hands!" Wu Tianzong's face sank, and said to the lady in an overbearing manner.

"How dare you!"

Hearing this, the woman's face darkened. She stared at him and coldly said, "Second master, please pay attention to your identity. You better not interfere in my business or else don't blame me for not giving face to my family!"

Once he said that, Wu Tianzong's face also sunk. Staring at the woman, he replied solemnly: "Sister-in-law, you may not like to listen to my words, but I'm only thinking for the Wu family's hundreds of disciples. I think you don't want the Wu family to decline!"

"Shut up, my son is still alive. Even if he had to choose the family head, he would have to inherit the family property and not teach me how to do it!" The woman's expression once again sank as she said coldly.

"Hmph, Madam, are you insisting on bringing about the Wu Clan's downfall?"

Wu Tianzong stared at her and snorted coldly. He did not bother to hide the threat on his face, and in the blink of an eye, it was met with criticism.

"Madam, the Wu Clan is the work of our ancestors. I hope you can reconsider!"

"That's right, the Wu family cannot be destroyed ?"

"Madam, Second Master, he is a dragon among men, his words are very reasonable. I hope that you, Madam, can re-elect the family head and revive my Wu family!"

The members of the Second Master's family all began to heckle her, causing the woman's face to become extremely dark and gloomy. Gradually, a surge of Qi and blood began to attack her.

She was from the Madam Wu, and now that her husband was dead, the pressure she had to bear was already great. But today, the disciples of the other families were making a ruckus with the intent to seize control of the family. To her, this was like a bolt out of the blue.

Taking a deep breath, the woman calmed herself down and stared at the gloomy Second Master of the Wu family, Wu Tianzong. She opened her mouth slowly and said: "Second master, the reason you are here today, is because you want me to agree to take over the Wu family."

"Sister-in-law, due to the circumstances of the Wu family, if you don't have a better candidate, I can reluctantly take over the position of the head of the Wu family and help the Wu family rise to prominence again!" Wu Tianzong pretended to force himself, and slowly replied.

"Since I have made things difficult for you, there is no need for you to worry about the position of the clan head!"

Suddenly, an extremely low voice came out from inside the room. Everyone's bodies trembled, they looked towards the voice only to see that Wu Hao had unknowingly sat up on the bed and was using an extremely cold gaze to look down on them. When they met his cold eyes, their hearts could not help but shiver, as they subconsciously felt a chill run down their spines.

Cold, too cold.

It was just too strange that a single glance could be so cold. Everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Why did the sickly Young Lord suddenly wake up? It was as if he had become a completely different person!

"He actually didn't die after being hit by my Second Master's Nine Revolutions Soul-Breaking Powder ?." Wu Tianzong was shocked. The Nine Revolutions Broken Soul Powder was a special poison that specialized in killing soul consciousness s. It was able to kill people without them noticing.

From his point of view, Wu Hao was definitely dead this time. As long as it was the right time, he could smoothly take over the Wu family, but he never thought that Wu Hao would wake up as if nothing had happened, and even as if he was a different person.

Could it be that the Nine Revolutions Broken Soul Powder was unable to destroy his soul consciousness and instead activated his wisdom?

He thought to himself.

"My good nephew, you've finally woken up. Second Uncle was just worried that you wouldn't be able to recover. The Wu family has no more successors!" After reacting, he immediately said to Wu Hao in a strange tone.

"Second Uncle, you're overthinking it. Nephew has not lived enough, how can I not be able to sleep?" Wu Hao sneered at him, then revealed a domineering aura, and said loudly: "Wu family, I alone am enough, Second Uncle you don't have to work hard anymore!"

"Nephew, you haven't recovered from your serious illness and still need to recover. Why don't we let second uncle work hard for you for a few more days ?"

"I appreciate Second Uncle's good intentions. I've just said it before, I'm enough for the Wu family to have me!" Wu Hao's expression darkened once again as he coldly replied. He then turned his gaze to the Wu Clan disciples and the servants of the clan and said in a low voice, "Today, since everyone is here, this young master will announce that I will take over the position of patriarch of the Wu Clan. From today onwards, I will be the new Patriarch and will be in charge of all matters concerning the Wu Clan. As he said that, a tyrannical power exploded out from his body, smashing towards everyone present.

For a time, all of the people present paled. Blood surged out from their bodies, and their eyes flashed with surprise as an indescribable desire began to form within their hearts.

Seeing their reactions, Wu Hao looked at them with contempt again, and then slowly walked down the bed.

"At the moment, if you have nothing else, then scram out of here immediately, and don't disturb the peace of This Patriarch!"

When the voice came out, no one moved. Wu Hao looked at them, his brows twitched once again, and asked: What, do you need the This Patriarch to get rid of you?

Pah pah pah ?

Suddenly, Wu Tianzong revealed a smile and clapped his hands.

"Nephew is really capable, Second Uncle is impressed. Since you're so confident, Second Uncle can be at ease. However, the situation of the Wu family right now is not optimistic. I wonder if nephew can turn the tide and lead the Wu family to glory!"

"Whether I can reverse the situation of the Wu family is my nephew's own problem. Second Uncle, you don't have to worry about it. I will take care of everything in the family!" Wu Hao raised his arrogant head and arrogantly replied.

"Good ?" "Alright, alright, alright. Second Uncle will wait for your good news then!" Wu Tianzong laughed instead of getting angry, and then turned around and left. It was just that in the instant he turned around, Wu Hao clearly saw a cold light flash in his eyes.

After all of the Wu Family's branch disciples had left, Wu Hao's gaze turned towards the woman.

At that moment, only the lady, the servant girl and the old housekeeper remained in the room.

"My son, you're finally awake! Your mother thought that you ?"

Finally, the excited woman pulled Wu Hao into her embrace, and started sobbing.

In these past few days, all the pressure she had felt had been completely vented out. The grievance and helplessness in her heart had turned into tears that gushed out.

"Mother, your son has made you worry." Rest assured, this will never happen again! " Wu Hao patted the woman's back as he comforted her. At the same time, a trace of memories flashed deep within his eyes.

In his previous life, he lacked maternal love, but never would he have thought that in this life, he would receive the greatest family love in the world. Although to him, the woman in front of him was only the host's flesh and blood, he had inherited the host's memories.

"Child, you've grown up!"

The woman wiped away her tears and smiled in a gratified manner.

Behind him, the elegant maid and old housekeeper, watching the deep love between mother and son, revealed a brilliant smile.

"The heavens have eyes! "Patriarch, please bless me. The young master has finally grown up and the fire of the Wu family has continued to burn!" old housekeeper sighed in his heart.

"Young master has changed, is he enlightened?"

The elegant servant looked at Wu Hao, the aura in her eyes flowing, the weak young master in her memory was gone.

"Mom, these days, you have tired of working for your son and for the Wu family. Just lie on the bed and rest for a while. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later!"

Wu Hao showed concern on his face, he supported the woman who was overworked and sat on the side of the bed.

The woman sat by the side of the bed, looking at Wu Hao who looked like a different person, she nodded and did not say anything, but when she thought about the aggressive Second Master of the Wu family, a look of worry flashed past her eyes.

Wu Tianzong had coveted the position of Patriarch for a long time already. His husband, Wu Tianguang, accidentally fell in the Snow Region of Extreme Ice and gave his a chance to do so.

Originally, her momentum had been gone, but she had never thought that at such a critical moment, her son's sudden awakening would be accompanied by an inexplicable sense of power that would have turned the situation around.

However, with Wu Tianzong's character, he would definitely not let this matter rest. Next, there would be a huge storm in the Wu Clan.

She was worried that Wu Hao wouldn't be able to deal with her.

"Ah!" You have to be careful of your second uncle, Wu Tianzong. If he fails today in his attempt to seize the position of Emperor, he will definitely think of ways to deal with you. Thinking about it, the woman could not help but remind him.

"Mother, don't worry, we will do whatever we have to do. He, Wu Tianzong, can't do anything!" A domineering expression suddenly surfaced on Wu Hao's face as he boldly replied.

"You can't let your guard down, your second uncle ?"

"Mom, you don't have to worry. Your son has grown up, so he will surely take care of this matter. You can just lie down and rest. When you wake up, the Wu family will be at peace!" Wu Hao showed a reassured expression to her, and comforted her with a smile.

When the woman heard his words, she swallowed the rest of his words. After nodding her head, she slowly laid down. Then, her tensed heart relaxed, and she deeply fell asleep.

Wu Hao covered her with a blanket, and then turned to look at the old butler, telling him: "Housekeeper Li, go to the city and grab some nourishment soup, come back and make it for my mother to eat!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Hearing this, the old butler immediately nodded his head respectfully, turned around, and quickly left.

Wu Hao's gaze turned towards the elegant servant girl, and looked at her. For a moment, memories flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He thought about her previous life's servant, Xiao Cui, and did not know how she was doing.

"Xiao Xue, take care of my mother here. This young master will go out for a while, maybe I'll come back later!" Wu Hao looked at the elegant servant, and when he regained his senses, he ordered her.

"Yes, Young Master, you can go now. With Madam here, you just need Xiao Xue to take care of her. Please rest assured!" Snowy nodded obediently at him.

Wu Hao did not speak anymore. He turned to look at the woman who had fallen asleep and left the room.
