Peerless Dual Cultivation: From Fool to Immortal-Chapter 104 – Is the City Lord a good person?

"Godfather, my martial arts foundation is still not solid. Right now, I just want to hone myself further."

"Moreover, I'm wholeheartedly devoted to martial arts and have no interest in wealth or power."

"Heh, I remember when you were young, you complained that martial arts were too hard and tiring, and you didn't want to learn. I never expected you'd be so dedicated now."

"I heard you've already reached the peak of Martial King?"

"I'm not even sure what my current level is."

"When you first woke up, you were still in a wheelchair. It's only been three months, and you've reached the peak of Martial King, achieving in a short time what others take decades of hard work to accomplish."

"I'm very curious, how did you cultivate to this level?"

"Can I not talk about it?"

"If you really don't want to say, then forget it. I can probably guess the reason."

"What are your plans for the future?"

"I'm still young and haven't been in the martial world for long. It was just luck that I advanced to Martial King."

The City Lord, hearing Huang Ye say this, was already certain that Huang Ye had used some secret method to enhance his strength.

"I know my foundation is unstable, so I want to take advantage of my youth to venture out and temper myself."

"Oh! Why do you have such an idea? With an unstable foundation, studying diligently at the Martial Arts Academy could also remedy this flaw."

"You're at the peak of Martial King. This level of strength is neither strong nor weak, but in Silver Moon City, you're considered a master."

"However, in places with better cultivation conditions, this level is quite ordinary. There, even Martial Emperors aren't considered masters."

"Your only advantage might be your age, but that means nothing. No one will take care of you just because you're young."

"You'll likely face life-and-death battles, with countless people capable of defeating you, not to mention the cultivators. There, you're just a drop in the ocean."

"That's why I want to pursue a higher realm. The fact that I regained consciousness is already a miracle."

"Since heaven has given me this chance, if I continue to live a life of ease, I'll probably never reach a higher level in this lifetime."

The City Lord stared intently into Huang Ye's eyes, trying to discern the truth of his words.

"Your mother entrusted you to me, asking me to ensure your safety for life. If something happens to you out there, I wouldn't be able to face your family."

"Godfather, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is granted by heaven. I've grown up and have my own ideals and goals."

"Well said, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is granted by heaven. If Jiang'er had half your ambition, I wouldn't worry."

"I called you here today to discuss something with you."

"Please go ahead, Godfather. I'm all ears."

"I think you should know some things about yourself. I have some properties left by the Huang family, and after your coming-of-age ceremony, I'll hand them over to you."

"These properties are enough to ensure a worry-free life. Why pursue such an elusive level?"

The City Lord said tentatively.

"Godfather, when I left the City Lord's mansion, I only took a hundred taels of silver that Qing'er gave me."

"At the academy, I earned another five hundred taels, totaling six hundred taels of silver."

"I spent some at the academy, but I still have more than half left."

"You see, I'm still wearing coarse cloth clothes. I'm not interested in a life of luxury."

"The Huang family's properties are of no use to me. Even if you give them to me, I'm not interested in the business world, nor do I like scheming all the time."

"In my heart, martial arts is the only path. No matter how difficult or bitter, I will walk it steadfastly."

"Good, you have backbone. Huang Jian would be proud to have a son like you."

"Since you've decided on your path, I don't want you to have any regrets. You might have always been curious about your background."

"I'll openly tell you that story."

The main event was coming, and Huang Ye was on guard. If the City Lord attacked, the Phoenix Feather would activate immediately, and his spell was already brewing.

With the Phoenix Feather delaying, his spell attack could be launched, and the rest would depend on fate.

"Your father was my best friend. We once roamed the martial world together, slaying demons and monsters."

"Back then, he and I were both at the peak of Martial King. We killed a villain in Linshui City, who relied on his family's power to commit all sorts of evil."

"We weren't afraid of their family power, but unexpectedly, that villain had a sister who was a cultivator's concubine."

"When she heard her brother was killed, she immediately incited that cultivator to kill us."

"The cultivator's level wasn't high, and the two of us fought him together."

"Your father, to protect me, used a secret technique to exchange his life for another's, and the man was injured and gave up the chase."

"I brought your father back to Silver Moon City, but he fell ill and eventually passed away."

"After your father died, your mother was heartbroken. She entrusted you to me and then followed your father."

"Your mother's last wish was for you to carry on the Huang family bloodline and not to practice martial arts."

Huang Ye listened calmly to the story, his gaze seemingly vacant, but in reality, he was closely watching the City Lord's eyes.

The eyes are the windows to the soul. Although they don't reveal precise information, they can give a general judgment.

"You've been close to the Tang family. I wonder if they told you about the Huang family member being poisoned."

Huang Ye didn't respond.

"I investigated this matter too. At the time, it was suspected that the villain's family sent someone."

"Because the villain's family knew your father's name and the Huang family's status in Silver Moon City, while my Wu family was just a small family."

"Until you were harmed at the age of ten, I realized my earlier judgment might have been wrong, which left me with a reputation for plotting to kill for wealth."

"If the villain's family wanted revenge, they wouldn't have waited years to act against you. The consequences of acting then benefited me the most."

"I realized I made a big mistake by trusting those around me too much."

"Later, I secretly investigated and finally found out who harmed you."

"But when I learned who it was, I hesitated. That person, I can tell you, her name was Feng Yuexia, and she died before you regained consciousness."

"She was my most loyal subordinate. To be precise, she always wanted to marry me, but I had no interest in her."

"I thought she was too scheming. I'm already a scheming person, and she was my subordinate, so I couldn't possibly want her."

"But she was willing to do anything for me, even at the cost of her life, doing many things behind my back."

"The most ridiculous part is, she was entangled with my useless son."

Damn, was this woman taking 'love me, love my dog' to the extreme? It seems Feng Yuexia was the woman in black.

"Don't think too much. The plot against you was definitely her doing. Wu Jiang might have complaints about you, but he doesn't have the guts or the brains."

"I wanted to cripple her, but I hesitated."

"Because she controlled a special force, those people only listened to her, a force I had her cultivate long ago."

"She didn't hesitate to use her body to make those people utterly loyal to her."

Wow, damn, that's a real piece of work. Huang Ye couldn't help but admire this woman.

He still remembered her appearance. The woman in black was quite a beauty in her youth.

The most venomous heart is a woman's, indeed. To achieve her goals, she used any means necessary, even sacrificing her body. She's quite a talent.

The City Lord's expression was calm, his eyes steady, making it hard for Huang Ye to judge the truth.

Up to this point, the entire story line was reasonable and flawless, but Huang Ye still felt something was off. He decided to keep listening.
