"Master, your subordinate has already investigated the matter regarding the Wu family's account book. However, you were not at home so I did not send you the account book. Now that your subordinate has brought it, please take a look!"

Wu Fu revealed a face of respect, and then, he took out an account book from his sleeves and handed it over to him.

Wu Hao took the account book, and started to carefully flip through it, but his face quickly became gloomy.

The external businesses of the Wu Clan was the pillar of the Wu Clan, supporting the daily expenses of hundreds of Wu Clan disciples.

However, since three months ago, when the Wu Family's Patriarch, Wu Tianguang, had accidentally fallen in the Snow Region of Extreme Ice, the Wu Family's external businesses had suffered an accident.

"How does he manage his family's external businesses?" Closing the account book, Wu Hao suddenly said softly, causing old housekeeper and Wu Fu to look at each other.

The Wu Family's current situation was much more severe than Wu Hao had imagined. Although there was the suppression from the other families, there was also a reason behind the internal tricks.

His second uncle, Wu Tianzong, was in charge of the external businesses of the Wu family. Even if he were to use his toes, he could tell that the other party must have done something to them.

"Nephew, why are you so angry?"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived on time.

The moment Wu Hao had finished speaking, Wu Tianzong slowly walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back and a faint smile on his face.

"Wu Tianzong, explain to me, why are you in charge of managing the businesses of the Wu Family?" Wu Hao glared at the other party with feigned anger and threw down the account book in his hands.

His direct declaration of his name, without any taboo to seniority, caused the originally smiling Wu Tianzong's face to suddenly darken.

"Wu Hao, I think I don't need to explain it to you anymore, just a few days ago, I seemed to have warned you, now that the Wu family is being suppressed by the other clans, your income is insufficient, yet you are questioning me, did you forget?" Wu Tianzong stared at him and replied unhappily.

Wu Hao looked into his eyes, his expression ice-cold. Her eyes revealed a sense of majesty as he coldly said: "Don't tell me you didn't have any tricks up your sleeve. Do you really think I'm an idiot? "

"Is there something fishy?" Words have no basis, what right do you have to say that? " Wu Tianzong actually looked at him with contempt, and replied with force.

With that, he did not wait for Wu Hao to speak again, and said to him: "Everything requires evidence, do not slander others, as your second uncle, as your senior, for the sake of your youth, I will not bother with you today. "Next, let me tell you something. Since you're so concerned about the clan's external affairs, this matter is related to this matter!"

Wu Hao stared at him and did not say a word.

Wu Tianzong paused for a moment, then said to him immediately: "Three days ago, there was a secret force lingering around my Wu Clan Restaurant, specially acting as a customer to stir up trouble, and also secretly using such methods as beating, threatening, and intimidation to completely ruin our Wu Clan Restaurant's reputation, and the previously profitable Wu Clan Restaurant was now closed down, the customers were pitifully few."

"You are the newly appointed Patriarch of the Wu Clan and promised to lead the Wu Clan to the pinnacle within one month and become one of the three major clans in the capital. Therefore, this matter needs to be dealt with personally!" Wu Tianzong slowly said to him.

"Since the news has reached us, you can decide on your own. Second Uncle is very busy, so I won't chat with you for too long. Goodbye!" Wu Tianzong looked at him meaningfully for a moment, then turned and left after he finished speaking, simply not giving Wu Hao any chance to refute.

However, Wu Hao, who had an angry look on his face, was currently sneering. The other party was obviously giving him a hard time, preventing him from getting rid of all the obstacles and bringing the Wu Family up within a month.

"Old fox, are you trying to stop this sovereign from advancing? Are you trying to usurp my position? Heh, you're thinking too innocently. You're giving me a hard time, aren't you? Very good ? If that's the case, then this sovereign will go all out! "

He thought to himself.

When he came back to his senses, he sent Wu Fu away and continued to boil the antidote in the kitchen. However, he was quickly clearing his mind and thinking of all sorts of ways to deal with the situation.

After a few hours, it was already night. Wu Hao who was in the kitchen, making the antidote himself, finally finished making the antidote after a few hours of controlling the fire with his own hands after a few hours.

Afterwards, he brought the antidote and personally fed it to Yang Ziyi, the host's mother, to enter.

It was only after he had fed the antidote that a faint smile appeared on his face. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party would wake up tomorrow. At that time, he would be able to recover completely after a short rest.

Once this matter was over, he would be able to wholeheartedly throw himself into the Wu family war and fight with Wu Tianzong to the death.

On the morning of the second day, Wu Hao who had just woken up told maidservant Xiao Xue to take care of his mother Yang Ziyi, then he quietly left the Wu Mansion through the back door.

After exiting, he went straight to Capital City and went into a grocery store. He bought a human skin mask and a few disguise items, then bought a set of expensive brocade robes. After he was done, he disguised himself as a rich merchant, rented a luxurious carriage and hired a groom.

The Wu family restaurant was quiet and deserted early in the morning, with no customers present. However, after Wu Hao came, he walked in with a swagger, and ordered a large table of dishes, and started to gobble down the food as if there was no one around.

Because of this, it attracted the attention of a pair of eyes that were secretly watching the Wu restaurant.

No one noticed that Wu Hao, who was hiding behind his human skin mask, had the corner of his mouth curled up as a trace of evil appeared on his face.

The fox had finally revealed its tail. Since someone was causing trouble at the Wu Restaurant, he would use a scheme to find it out. He wanted to see who had done this.

Of course, at this moment, he thought that Wu Tianzong was playing some tricks on him, but he did not know that the other party was in Wu Mansion and did not know anything.

Wu Hao had returned safely, but and the flying mouse, the two Pre-Sky Realm Warriors that the other side's butler sent, did not come back. This caused Wu Tianzong to faintly realize that the two of them were not in a good situation.

However, until now, he was still unsure if there was someone secretly protecting Wu Hao's back. Who was this person?

At that moment, in a certain courtyard in Wu Mansion, Wu Tianzong who was drinking his morning tea was thinking about this problem.

"Brat, you're quite capable. Let's see how you will deal with the matter of our restaurant this time. Let's see if you are truly capable or if someone is helping you from the shadows." A demonic smile surfaced on Wu Tianzong's face.

Although Wu Hao did not make much of a move when he left the Wu Mansion, he, who had eyes and ears many people, still received news, and at that moment, he was waiting to watch a good show.

"Second Master, the Young Lord entered our Wu Clan's restaurant and ordered a big table of food while disguised as a merchant. I wonder what he wants to do?"

At this time, the middle-aged butler who had received the news came in front of Wu Tianzong and respectfully reported.

After hearing what he said, Wu Tianzong suddenly laughed lightly.

"You want to use your body as bait? Very good, I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to find out your true situation, so this opportunity of yours came at just the right time! " he muttered to himself.

With that, he stood up and gave some instructions to the middle-aged butler before leaving.

Today, he wanted to broaden his horizons, and see how Wu Hao would deal with the Su Family.

Actually, as the leader of the Wu family's outer industry, Wu Tianzong had long figured out the identity of the person who caused all this trouble in the Wu Family Restaurant. The reason he allowed the Su Family to act arrogantly was because he wanted to put pressure on Wu Hao so that he would not be able to fulfill his promise to the Wu Ancestor within a month.

In this way, Wu Hao took the initiative to remove the position of Patriarch of the Wu Family, and as such, he could snatch it away and ascend to the position of Patriarch of the Wu Family.

The older the better. This was true, but Wu Hao did not know this yet, as his original plan had already been revealed and was seen through by the cunning Wu Tianzong.

After the dishes were served, Wu Hao felt that the time was ripe, so he sat on the luxurious horse carriage and wandered around the imperial city for a bit, then quickly rushed towards the west ancient pathway.

After leaving the imperial city, the ancient road became cold and cheerless. Only the sound of the rutted carriage could be heard. At this moment, there were three masked men in black chasing after them with swords in their hands.

Just as they were about to catch up to the luxurious carriage to stop the three black masked men, they suddenly saw Wu Hao who had transformed into a merchant suddenly flying out of the carriage, waving his fist in the air towards them.

Boom ?

Under the high speed condition, their fists carried a formless aura, causing terrifying sonic booms. The trio's bodies shook, and their faces, which were hidden under their black masks, suddenly underwent a drastic change.

In a hurry, they subconsciously drew their swords and sabers and swept them out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three loud explosions sounded out at almost the same time. Wu Hao was extremely tenacious, his steel-like fists collided against their swords and sabers, and they were sent flying along with their swords.

"Half a step into Upper Sky warrior, you truly have some strength. No wonder you guys dare to come to my Wu Family's property and make a name for yourselves!"

Wu Hao retracted his fist, his body steadily landed, with his hands behind his back, he looked at the three people who were pushed back and said.

The three of them were shocked. To be able to reveal their true cultivation level with a single sentence, it seemed that they had met a dead end today.

"Who are you?"

Among the three of them, one of them secretly channeled Martial Spirit to dispel the numbness in his arm, and at the same time, vigilantly stared at Wu Hao who had disguised himself, and spoke in a low voice.

"Who do you think I am?" Wu Hao's mouth raised slightly as he asked in an evil tone.

"Hmph, putting on an act. Brothers, go teach him a lesson ?"

"The one pretending to be mysterious should be you guys. Today, I will let you guys know what it means to not know the limits of heaven and earth!" Wu Hao's tone suddenly dropped, he took a step back and used Phantom Shadow, and with a flash, he waved his fist and struck towards them.

Boom ?

Another sonic boom rang out, causing the faces of the three of them to flicker.

Clank, clank, clank.

The next moment, the three of them subconsciously swung their sabers again. Their swords and sabers shot out again, breaking the air and creating a loud noise.
