Chapter 462 - 129: The Two Brothers Elated (Part 2)
By the time Guan Bao snapped out of it, he realized Yun Hu had already walked far ahead.
Without time to think, he hurried to catch up with his second brother.
...
Wei Hongfang was initially worried.
He was concerned Yun Hu and Guan Bao might embarrass him, so he had someone secretly follow them.
After confirming Yun Hu and Guan Bao were performing exceptionally well, he felt completely relieved.
Not to mention, those who came to challenge were mostly first-class, or postnatal. Yun Hu and Guan Bao were already innate, handling them with ease and confidence.
Even facing opponents of the same level as innate martial artists.
Yun Hu and Guan Bao could rely on the power of their spiritual artifacts to win battles.
"Anyone else?"
Having just defeated an opponent,
Guan Bao swaggered as he flexed his wrist and looked around at the martial artists.
"I’ll go!"
Quickly, someone stood out.
There were initially doubts about the strength of Yun Hu and Guan Bao’s brothers, but after many days, these martial artists acknowledged the two brothers.
Moreover,
During fights, Yun Hu and Guan Bao never struck to kill.
Many of the defeated martial artists admired the brothers, which led to their reputation among the group of martial artists surpassing Wei Hongfang’s within days.
...
Obviously, at present, Wei Hongfang was completely unaware of the issue.
With Yun Hu and Guan Bao standing ahead, Wei Hongfang had been quite relaxed these days.
Inside the palace,
Looking at Wei Hongfang who was serving beside him, Yan Fuhai raised his brows with slight curiosity.
"What’s going on, are there no challenging martial artists lately?"
Lately,
Yan Fuhai had been cultivating in the deep palace, recovering from injuries, so he wasn’t aware of the outside matters.
Seeing Wei Hongfang so relaxed, he assumed there were no challenging martial artists outside.
"According to Your Majesty, those martial artists are fearless, kill one and another comes, it’s endless!"
Upon hearing Yan Fuhai’s question,
Wei Hongfang responded with a smile.
"However, I adopted two sons earlier, both now possess innate cultivation, given that these martial artists’ skills aren’t too high, I thought this might be an opportunity for training, so I let them fight those martial artists to accumulate experience!"
Wei Hongfang cleverly explained, instead of bluntly saying it was at the request of his adopted sons.
Otherwise, he would have no presence now.
"That’s a good approach!"
Indeed, after hearing Wei Hongfang’s explanation, Yan Fuhai nodded in agreement, acknowledging the thoughtfulness behind his actions.
For martial artists, constant combat is a quick way to improve skills, while gaining combat experience, though this method is rather daunting.
Few can endure it!
Though with Yan Fuhai’s current cultivation, innate martial artists are mere ants, he still nodded and said,
"Having innate martial artists as adopted sons shows your growing capabilities!"
"I dare not take credit!"
Upon hearing Yan Fuhai’s praise, Wei Hongfang quickly explained.
"All this is thanks to His Majesty’s efforts; without His Majesty, there wouldn’t be today’s humble servant!"
"Hahaha!"
His amused response made Yan Fuhai laugh.
"You still speak as charmingly as ever!"
Perhaps due to being in a good mood,
Yan Fuhai said straightforwardly,
"If there’s a chance in the future, bring your two adopted sons for me to see. If they’re as commendable as you say, I wouldn’t mind rewarding them!"
"My two sons are rough and untamed; offending the emperor’s authority would be a big crime!"
Not that Wei Hongfang feared Yan Fuhai coveting Yun Hu and Guan Bao.
It was simply his habit to speak obsequiously.
Yan Fuhai merely chuckled, not taking it seriously, as it was just a casual suggestion.
Meeting them wasn’t a top priority for Yan Fuhai.
...
"Second brother!"
After several more days,
Initially, Yun Hu and Guan Bao were full of spirit and ambition.
But after many days,
The brothers understood why Wei Hongfang had constantly worn a hopeless expression—it was indeed quite irritating!
Guan Bao didn’t even have the energy to recall him.
"How much longer do we have to endure this?"
Feeling as though they’d collapse if it continued for more days.
"Be patient!"
Although Yun Hu was equally troubled, he calmly said.
"This isn’t something that can be achieved overnight; we still need to wait patiently."
"But..."
Guan Bao was eager to say something.
However!
"If we quit now, won’t all prior efforts be in vain?"
Yun Hu’s rhetorical question instantly silenced Guan Bao.
Indeed.
If they gave up now, what would the past days’ efforts mean? Just their bad luck?
"Of course, I don’t want to quit, just speaking casually, second brother don’t be angry!"
Seeing Guan Bao’s expression,
Yun Hu’s face softened considerably.
"I’m not angry, besides, I understand why. I’m equally impatient, but we can’t help it. You wouldn’t want to be an adopted son to a eunuch forever, would you?"
