Chapter 461 - 129: The Complacent Brothers

Seeing Wei Hongfang with such an interested expression.

Yun Hu and Guan Bao exchanged a glance and both detected the amusement in each other’s eyes,

It seems.

The story they concocted after thinking for so long is indeed effective!

"Although our cultivation isn’t particularly high, Brother and I are more than sufficient to handle some mediocre martial artists, and similarly, we won’t tarnish your reputation, Godfather!"

It was clear.

These two brothers plan to replace him in dealing with the incessantly challenging martial heroes.

In fact, such a plan wasn’t beyond Wei Hongfang’s earlier considerations.

But previously, Yun Hu and Guan Bao’s strength wasn’t significant enough, which made them difficult to rely upon, and if they lost a fight, it would only be embarrassing.

But now.

Both brothers have reached the Innate level.

Even if defeated by stronger martial artists, it wouldn’t sully his reputation too much, it’s feasible!

"Excellent, excellent!"

Thinking of this, Wei Hongfang felt more satisfied.

"I’m happy you have such intentions. Tell me, what do you wish for this time?"

Wei Hongfang wasn’t going to believe that Yun Hu and Guan Bao wanted nothing, simply to assist him.

"What are you saying, Godfather, it’s only natural for us to act on your behalf!"

Saying this.

Yun Hu chuckled awkwardly and then added.

"However, both of us have advanced to the Innate level, if we could have a Spiritual Artifact by our sides, it would be even better, and dealing with those martial artists would be much easier!"

It’s not that he truly desires this!

Yun Hu knew clearly that if he asked for nothing, it would only arouse Wei Hongfang’s suspicion.

But this request had to be neither too light nor too heavy, a Spiritual Artifact was just right!

After all, Spiritual Artifacts vary greatly in quality, and he didn’t specify wanting a top-tier one, an average one wouldn’t be too difficult to obtain.

Indeed.

Upon hearing Yun Hu’s words, Wei Hongfang’s smile broadened even further.

"No wonder you’re so eager, turns out you want a Spiritual Artifact, I knew you wouldn’t be generous enough just to ease the family’s burdens!"

Yet.

Despite saying this, Wei Hongfang’s expression showed no signs of displeasure.

Clearly, such a request was within his acceptable range.

"Alright!"

Saying this, Wei Hongfang waved his hand grandly and directly responded.

"Since you show such intent, it would be a waste of your feelings if I disagreed!"

"..."

Putting it so grandiosely, one could mistakenly think you’re embarrassed to agree.

"Coincidentally, I still have some Spiritual Artifacts in my possession, I’ll give them to you. Remember, if you tarnish the family’s reputation while out there, you won’t be let off easily!"

In the end, Wei Hongfang habitually added a stern warning.

But hearing these words, Yun Hu and Guan Bao earnestly replied.

"Rest assured, Godfather, we will not disappoint you!"

...

Soon, outside the Lord’s residence.

Yun Hu and Guan Bao each found themselves holding a Spiritual Artifact, albeit only the lowest grade.

Yun Hu’s artifact was a Qimei iron stick, whereas Guan Bao’s was a pair of wrist guards fitted onto his wrists.

"Sounds nice, but he gave us the worst ones!"

After flexing his wrists with the guards, Guan Bao looked dissatisfied.

Being Wei Hongfang’s godson, Yun Hu and Guan Bao knew some of the good items Wei Hongfang stored in his warehouse.

Not to mention.

Wei Hongfang even possesses top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, but such items were treasured too dearly by him to be given away.

What he did bring out.

Were the least valuable and least important ones.

Although Yun Hu felt displeased too, he had a better attitude than Guan Bao.

After lightly swinging the Qimei Stick, he shook his head and said.

"At any rate, having something is better than nothing, and even though they look ordinary, these Spiritual Artifacts surpass common weapons."

Just like the Qimei Stick in Yun Hu’s hand, it appears ordinary.

But its effect is commendable, allowing power to accumulate with each swing, making each subsequent strike more forceful than the previous one, albeit with a limit to this cumulative strength, it’s still decent.

Guan Bao’s wrist guards might seem to only protect the wrists.

But in fact, the effect of this Spiritual Artifact is full-body protection, and its defensive capability rivals some Innate Martial Artists adept at Horizontal Training.

"Moreover!"

Saying this.

Yun Hu suddenly grinned.

"It’s only now, maybe later, those treasures Wei Hongfang keeps might all belong to us!"

At least their plan succeeded.

They’ve already replaced Wei Hongfang to deal with the martial artists at the palace gates.

Next step, once they gain Yan Fuhai’s favor, they might directly stand equal to Wei Hongfang, and perhaps, even climb above him someday.

"Haha! Brother, your words make sense!"

Hearing this.

The previously displeased Guan Bao immediately burst into laughter.

As though visualizing such a scenario, he was brimming with joy.

"Alright, let’s go!"

Yun Hu didn’t waste any more time on this, signaling to start heading to the palace.

"Wait for me, Brother!"
