"What do you an by that? Are you saying you're trash yourself?"
The Second Protector asked imdiately, sensing there was more to Xu Hao's words.
Xu Hao slowly stood up and said, "A Grandmaster is like a dragon, free and unrestrained, not bound by limitations. That was my original impression of a Grandmaster Level Expert, who upon reaching such a level, should possess invincible power. But today, after seeing you, I realized that there actually are Grandmaster Level Experts who serve as dogs for others!"
"You... you're courting death!" The Second Protector flew into a rage imdiately, as Xu Hao had just called him the Wu Family's dog!
However, he didn't know how to refute that, because it seed to be true.
Wu ngchong snorted coldly, "Sharp-tongued! The Second Protector was taken in by my father's grandfather many years ago. He lived with our Wu Family for many years, and we have long treated him as our own family. How can you provoke such a division with just a few words?"
"Taken in by your great-grandfather? I doubt it's that simple!"
Xu Hao said with a light smile, "Even if he was taken in by your great-grandfather, he has done so much for your Wu Family over the years. Shouldn't he have repaid his debt of gratitude by now? Unfortunately, your Wu Family has always grasped his lifeline, never letting him leave. Am I right?"
Wu ngchong exclaid angrily, "Nonsense! My grandfather shows great respect to these two Protectors; how could he treat them like that?"
Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, the Second Protector's expression fluctuated uncertainly.
What Xu Hao said was partly true and partly false: their Cultivation thod belonged to the Wu Family, but the Wu Family only provided them with a thod that was one level higher.
For instance, now he was at the Early Stage Grandmaster level, so they only provided him the Cultivation thod for the middle stage of Grandmaster level, and when he reached the middle stage, they would then give him the late stage thod.
But, the Cultivation thod they provided would absolutely not exceed the current strongest mber of the Wu Family!
Because the Wu Family also feared that if their power beca too great, they might turn against their master.
Below the Grandmaster level, one could still switch Cultivation Techniques, albeit at the cost of so ti, and perhaps so damage to the ridians, but all of that was recoverable.
However, once at the Grandmaster level, the Cultivation Technique absolutely could not be changed, or else the entire body's ridians would surely be destroyed, rendering the person completely crippled!
Therefore, they had no choice but to always stay with the Wu Family, working like cattle and horses for them.
However, their status within the Wu Family was extrely high, only their personal freedom was restricted.
Upon seeing the Second Protector's expression, Xu Hao guessed that his suspicions were probably very close to the truth.
However, for a family like the Wu's, where even the old Family Head's strength was just at the middle stage of Grandmaster level, to control soone within the family with Grandmaster level strength, they naturally had to resort to so extre asures, which was understandable.
Only, as long as these matters weren't ntioned, there would be no issue, but the mont they were brought up, it would cause them great embarrassnt.
After all, it was rather shaful for revered Grandmaster Level Experts to serve others, running around busy with nial tasks.
Xu Hao continued, "Actually, if you want to not be controlled, just change to another Cultivation Technique, that's all. I don't believe you haven't secretly found other Cultivation thods over the years; you just didn't dare to switch."
The Second Protector remained silent. He did not know what Xu Hao was implying, and he knew that if he spoke up now, the Wu Family might suspect him of harboring rebellious thoughts, which would make his situation within the Wu Family very difficult.
"However, if you truly wish to escape the Wu Family's control, you could switch. It's just rupturing the ridians, right? I can help you repair them," Xu Hao said confidently.
Eventually, the Second Protector could no longer bear it and spoke coldly, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child, so easily deceived? All over the world, there are countless famous doctors, even the legendary Valley of the dicine King probably doesn't have the ability to repair one's ridians, much less ruptured ones!"
Valley of the dicine King?
What kind of force is that?
It sounds like a gathering place for doctors? This content was first released on *.
Xu Hao's expression remained unchanged, and he noted the na down, saying, "I just saw you being driven by others and thought you looked pitiful, so I wanted to help you out, but if you don't appreciate it, that's alright."
Wu ngchong snorted coldly, "Xu Hao, you think you are clever, but you don't realize that there are very few fools in the world! You think you can confuse the Second Protector and the others, but you're far too naive!"
The Second Protector hastily said, "Young Master, rest assured, I will personally take care of this matter and capture this boy!"
"Good! Then I will bother the Second Protector! This boy is outrageously arrogant; you must take him down swiftly and decisively to show him your strength!" Wu ngchong said, saluting, then quickly led his n away from the Second Protector.
In a battle between strong individuals, a slight mistake could lead to defeat. If those n stood too close, they would only make the Second Protector apprehensive, but Xu Hao certainly wouldn't care about their wellbeing.
The Second Protector brought his hands together, assud the correct stance, and said, "Xu Hao, considering your youth, I'll let you make the first move!"
"Are you sure?"
Xu Hao said with a half-smile, "If I make the first move, then you may not get a chance to retaliate."
