Chapter 492 - 137: Anxious Ninth Lord! Did the Fight Break Out? (Part 2)

When it came to the last title, Yun Hu clasped his hands in a formal salute, his expression indifferent.

Similarly, such a title.

It also meant the complete severing of ties between himself and Wei Hongfang.

Although from the beginning, they had only acknowledged Wei Hongfang as a godfather for the sake of benefits, there couldn’t be any real father-son affection, right?

"Humph!"

Wei Hongfang naturally caught the implications in Yun Hu’s words.

A cold snort; he didn’t feel any regret.

As always, with Wei Hongfang’s status, if he genuinely wanted to take in a godson, just within this Imperial City, there would be at least a thousand if not eight hundred people willing to be his godchildren.

Not lacking at all.

A truly ungrateful wolf, fortunate to have discovered it in time.

"Rest assured, within this month, our family will properly teach you what rules mean!"

After speaking.

Wei Hongfang didn’t intend to waste any more words and directly turned and left.

"Second Brother!"

Once Wei Hongfang left, Guan Bao couldn’t hold it back and went over to Yun Hu’s side.

"This Wei Hongfang is too much. Clearly, we’re about to serve by His Majesty’s side. Just because of his words, we have to delay for another month. What palace rules, he’s just looking to make things difficult for us!"

The reasoning is simple.

If Guan Bao could see it, how could Yun Hu not?

But there was no choice; with Yan Fuhai having already agreed, could they possibly defy orders?

"Second Brother, why don’t we find an opportunity to get rid of that old guy, so that by His Majesty’s side, only us two brothers remain!"

By then.

Those whom Yan Fuhai trusts the most would only be the two brothers, wouldn’t they?

"..."

Yun Hu remained silent.

He didn’t agree, but neither did he refuse.

Clearly, inside Yun Hu’s heart, there was indeed a small inclination.

However!

"No rush!"

After calming down for a while, Yun Hu shook his head.

"Wei Hongfang is at Late-stage Grandmaster, different from that previous Early-stage Grandmaster."

There’s a small realm gap in between, not something easily dealt with.

"But!"

Even as he said this, Yun Hu’s face showed little worry.

"As long as I break through to Grandmaster, even if I don’t match Wei Hongfang’s Late-stage Grandmaster, I would have nothing to fear!"

This recent victory of defeating a Grandmaster while at Innate had certainly boosted Yun Hu’s confidence.

Being able to handle an Early-stage Grandmaster while at Innate.

But once I reach the Early-stage Grandmaster, wouldn’t dealing with the Late-stage Grandmaster Wei Hongfang be the logical progression?

With this thought in mind.

The corners of Yun Hu’s mouth couldn’t help but curl upward.

As for Guan Bao beside him.

After hearing what his second brother said, he obviously realized something and his gaze towards his second brother immediately became excited.

"Second Brother, could it be?"

To say so must mean a breakthrough is imminent!

Seeing Guan Bao’s incredulous look, Yun Hu nodded with a smile.

"That’s right, I can already feel that hint of an opportunity. It shouldn’t be long before I can break through to the true Grandmaster Realm."

"That’s great!"

Yun Hu and Guan Bao are currently closely tied in interests.

Yun Hu becoming stronger is also of great benefit to Guan Bao.

Without a second thought, Guan Bao began congratulating Yun Hu.

However.

Amidst the celebrations, Guan Bao couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.

"No wonder you’re my second brother. Such good talent! Why is it that until now, I haven’t had even a hint of breaking through to Grandmaster? And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but my Inner Strength feels increasingly restless."

However.

That feeling is still very faint, not very intense.

So Guan Bao didn’t put too much stock in it.

"Quite normal!"

Yun Hu couldn’t help but chuckle after seeing Guan Bao’s expression.

He spoke naturally,

"Breaking through to Grandmaster isn’t easy. Even with the ’War God Skill,’ it’s not a simple feat to break through."

"You’re just too anxious; that’s why it’s like this. As you gain more experience and calm down, you’ll definitely be able to break through!"

Under Yun Hu’s persuasion.

The little worry in Guan Bao’s heart disappeared entirely.

Indeed, just as Second Brother said, I must be too anxious and overthinking things.

"I understand, Second Brother!"

Seeing Guan Bao’s obedience.

Yun Hu was satisfied and nodded, ceasing to dwell on cultivation matters.

"Bear with it for this month!"

"Okay!"

After all these years, I’ve endured so much.

Now that the opportunity is near, enduring for just another month is nothing.

Yun Hu agreed readily without even thinking.

...

As Yun Hu and Guan Bao predicted.

In the following month.

Wei Hongfang frequently used the excuse of teaching palace rules to make things difficult for Yun Hu and Guan Bao, and the two brothers endured it all.

Watching the two brothers, who always withstood provocation without reacting.

Instead of feeling pleased, Wei Hongfang’s expression grew darker.

If they had been truly provoked and taken action, he might have let it slide.

But this enduring attitude clearly meant they were planning to settle scores with him later.
