Chapter 96 Pretending to be a Weakling to Attack the Strong

Dong Tianbiao's attack was sudden. He intended to grab Wu Tianjiao like an eagle snatching a chick, then take

him to Hu Bukai and his father at Huwei Hall to show them off. He thought, "You call your Heavenly Martial Warriors? I can't handle you with one hand!" However, Wu

Tianjiao reacted swiftly, dodging the attack and leaving Dong Tianbiao with empty air.

"Eek!"

Dong Tianbiao exclaimed in surprise, "Kid! You dodged so fast!"

As he spoke, his movements were lightning fast. He took a step forward, closing the distance to within five feet of Wu Tianjiao, and shouted, "Where are you going to

hide?!"

His right arm extended, and a palm slapped down directly at Wu Tianjiao's head. The palm strike carried a whooshing sound, its force immense;

if it landed, Wu Tianjiao's head would surely be smashed.

Wu Tianjiao wouldn't let him hit him, dodging with his Shifting Shadow Technique and shouting, "Wait!"

Dong Tianbiao's vision blurred, and his palm missed its target. He was taken aback, thinking, "He's got some skill!"

Hearing this, he shouted, "What? Are you afraid to fight me?"

Wu Tianjiao chuckled and said calmly, "Why wouldn't I dare? But you need to explain why you want to fight."

"Old Hu said you're very powerful, so I don't believe it, and I'm not convinced. I want to fight you to see who's better! If you're scared

, kneel down and kowtow three times to me, and admit defeat!" Dong

Tianbiao said arrogantly.

Wu Tianjiao chuckled, shook his head, and slowly said, "Old Hu said I'm powerful, so you fight me.

But if I said there's someone more powerful than me, would you dare to fight him?"

"Who?"

Dong Tianbiao demanded.

Wu Tianjiao pointed at Xiao Guoliang with his right hand and said, "This Second Young Master Xiao is much more powerful than me. Do you dare

to spar with him?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? I've wanted to spar with him for a long time!"

Dong Tianbiao immediately abandoned Wu Tianjiao and turned to Xiao Guoliang, saying, "Pretty boy, if you want to marry my sister,

you'll have to spar with this brother-in-law. Let me see if you have the real skills and are worthy of my sister!"

Without another word, he threw a punch at Xiao Guoliang's chest with hidden wind and

thunder , unleashing the Dong family's Overlord Fist.

Xiao Guoliang was delighted to see Dong Tianbiao and Wu Tianjiao fighting, thinking there would be a good show. He never expected

Wu Tianjiao to shift the blame, using a few words to get Dong Tianbiao to target him. Caught off guard,

he jumped back when the punch came, shouting, "Don't fight!"

However, Dong Tianbiao seemed not to hear him. Boom! Boom! Boom! In an instant, three punches landed in quick succession with his right fist, one after another,

each faster than the last, swift and fierce, leaving him no time to breathe.

Outrageous! Xiao Guoliang was furious, but dared not be careless. He slightly shifted his body, calmly extending

his right folding fan to meet Dong Tianbiao's attacking fist. He drew three

circles—one, two, three—in succession. This "Three Variations of Plum Blossom" technique was incredibly skillful, reaching the pinnacle of artistry. Dong Tianbiao's fierce punch landed

within the circles, vanishing without a trace, his attack abruptly halted.

"Well done!"

Dong Tianfeng couldn't help but cheer, applauding her lover's performance. Her eyes shone with pride, her eyebrows dancing with joy, seemingly

filled with pride and joy for having such a lover. Even Dong Tianyan beside her

clapped with pride.

Seeing Xiao Guoliang effortlessly deflect Dong Tianbiao's attack, Wu Tianjiao was inwardly impressed and secretly admired him, thinking,

"This Second Young Master Xiao is truly formidable. He uses skill and finesse to overcome force with minimal effort, seemingly deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces. It seems his martial arts

are no less than Dong Tianbiao's; he's probably already at the ninth level of martial arts, not just a pretty face."

Thinking this, he noticed Dong Tianfeng's gleeful and smug expression beside him, and couldn't help but feel annoyed: "What's there to be happy about?

I'm far more powerful than your lover. His few moves wouldn't even be enough to fill my teeth. Look at your enthusiasm! When I

come to Dong Family Fortress, if I don't break you two up, I'm not Wu Tianjiao!"

With this thought, wicked thoughts began to surface in his mind.

At this moment, Dong Tianbiao and Xiao Guoliang were locked in a fierce battle, their fists and feet striking the ground. The north wind howled, and their feet trod

on the snow-covered ground. Each displayed their martial arts skills, shouting and leaping, fighting with all their might. For a time, neither could gain the upper

hand the surging air currents whipped up the snow, sending it swirling and whistling through the air, creating a misty haze.

Suddenly, Dong Tiankui appeared beside Dong Tianfeng, looking at his younger brother and Xiao Guoliang locked in combat, then

glancing Wu Tianjiao watching the spectacle with a bewildered expression. Curious, he quietly asked Dong Tianfeng, "What's going on?

Why is my second brother fighting with Young Master Xiao?"

"They're having a martial arts contest, exchanging blows!"

Dong Tianfeng replied without hesitation.

Of course! Dong Tiankui thought to himself, "Everyone knows they're just sparring. My second brother didn't come to

challenge , so why..." Just then, he noticed Wu Tianjiao's gaze on him. An idea struck him, and he chuckled,

walking over and saying, "Brother Wu! They're having a good time, how about we join in the fun?"

Seeing Dong Tiankui's grinning face, Wu Tianjiao immediately understood. He thought, "You want to test my skills? You're

not qualified. That damned Hu Bukai, what did you say to those brothers? They're all coming to me."

Thinking this, he smiled and said, "Young Master Dong, no need to play. I can't beat you ." "You're tall and strong, with

arms thicker than my thighs. If I let you touch me, I'd be broken, coughing up blood, and collapsing to the ground. We'd be done

playing! I concede!"

Dong Tiankui was quite surprised, pursing his lips, thinking, "What kind of Heavenly Martial Artist is he?

He How can he be as powerful as Old Hu makes him out to be? If he were a Heavenly Martial Artist, why wouldn't he accept my challenge? Old Hu is

probably just talking nonsense!"

Thinking this, he couldn't help but feel contempt for Wu Tianjiao. Since Wu Tianjiao didn't accept the challenge, he couldn't

force him . He stepped aside to watch the fight between Dong Tianbiao and Xiao Guoliang.

Dong Tianbiao and Xiao Guoliang seemed evenly matched. After exchanging over a hundred moves, neither had gained the upper hand. Wu Tianjiao was greatly moved

. He could see that Dong Tianbiao had exhausted his martial arts but couldn't defeat his opponent, while Xiao Guoliang hadn't used his full strength, holding back in

his attacks and not trying to kill. Otherwise, he would have struck Dong Tianbiao countless times. Dong Tianfeng saw what

was happening and couldn't stand it any longer. She shouted, "Stop!"

Dong Tianbiao and Xiao Guoliang jumped back and stopped fighting. Dong Tianbiao looked at Dong Tianfeng and yelled, "We

haven't decided who's the winner yet, girl, what are you yelling for?"

Dong Tianfeng frowned slightly and snorted, "Second Brother! Young Master Xiao was afraid of hurting you, so he

held back in his . Don't be ungrateful. If you keep fighting, it'll never end. Have you no shame?"

He held back! Dong Tianbiao was stunned for a moment, then glared at Xiao Guoliang and said angrily, "Who asked you to hold back?

Show me what you've got. I'm not afraid of getting hurt."

He was telling the truth. The Dong family's martial arts included not only the Overlord Fist and the Overlord Spear, but also a body-strengthening technique called

"Copper Wall Iron Wall Divine Skill." When mastered to a high level, this skill made the body as hard as steel, an impenetrable wall of steel, impervious to blades and spears.

Dong Tianbiao had obviously mastered this skill. Even if Xiao Guoliang hit him, he would hardly be able to hurt him. However, in martial arts sparring,

it was always a matter of stopping short of killing. No one would use their full strength unless they had the intention to kill. On the surface, Dong Tianbiao had obviously already lost.

Xiao Guoliang chuckled awkwardly and said, "Second Brother Dong's punches and kicks are quite powerful. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it and

won't gain any advantage. I'm stopping! I'm stopping!"

With that, he retreated to Dong Tianfeng's side, glanced at Wu Tianjiao, and said with a smile, "Third Young Master Wu, I've already

taken the hits for you. I've heard that the Wu family's Dragon Elephant Divine Skill is the number one extraordinary skill in the world. I wonder if Third Young Master Wu would be willing to show me

a few moves ?"

"Young Master Wu? Dragon Elephant Divine Skill?"

Dong Tiankui and Dong Tianbiao were shocked upon hearing this, their eyes fixed on Wu Tianjiao as they asked in unison, "Are you a young master

of the Wu family ?"

Wu Tianjiao remained noncommittal, smiling as he said, "I am indeed a young master of the Wu family, but I am born out of wedlock, powerless, nameless

, and without status. My father did not teach me any Dragon Elephant Divine Skill. If Young Master Xiao wants to see the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill, I'm afraid I will

disappoint you!"

He thought to himself, "My Holy Mother sister told me that one should not be overly competitive, but should know when to restrain one's sharpness and not

easily display all one's martial arts skills ." " To others, the world is a dangerous place, where the strong prey on the weak. Hiding one's strength and playing dumb to outwit the enemy is the way

to survive . The less the enemy knows, the safer one is, and the more unexpected and decisive the attack will be."

Upon hearing that Wu Tianjiao was born out of wedlock, apart from Xiao Guoliang, the Dong siblings all felt contempt.

Even Tianyan, who was close to Wu Tianjiao, couldn't help but show disdain in her eyes. She

had been genuinely happy to hear he was Wu Wudi's son, but she never imagined he was just an illegitimate son; no matter how vast the Wu family's fortune, it had no

place for him.

However, the Wu family was, after all, the Wu family. Even a son of a concubine was not to be underestimated. Wu Tiankui laughed heartily,

stepped forward, and patted Wu Tianjiao's shoulder with his right hand, saying, "So, Brother Wu, you're actually the son of Prince Wu!

My apologies!"

Whether intentional or not, his pat was heavy, and Wu Tianjiao immediately felt a sinking sensation,

his feet sinking deeper into the snow. His mind raced, and he cried out in pain, swaying twice before collapsing

onto the snow. He took a deep breath, his face turning red, and grimaced, "So big!" "That was too much force! Young Master,

please be gentle! My body is weak and can't take a hit. You've shattered me!"

Dong Tiankui hadn't expected him to fall to the ground with just one slap. He quickly bent down and

helped him up, feeling extremely apologetic, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Looking at his small body, which was indeed frail and couldn't withstand his slaps, he thought, "He doesn't seem like

a martial artist. It seems Old Hu is just making a show of it and exaggerating!"

With that thought, he had no more doubts. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he pulled Dong Tianbiao away to report to his father.

Dong Tianfeng and Xiao Guoliang also left to go sightseeing.

Only Wu Tianjiao and Dong Tianyan remained on the field. Wu Tianjiao was about to greet them when Dong Tianyan snorted

at him, stomped her foot angrily, and walked away without paying any attention to him. Wu Tianjiao was completely bewildered,

standing there stunned, feeling utterly confused. He thought to himself, "What did I do to deserve this? Why is Miss Dong suddenly

unhappy ?"

Little did he know the complex feelings Dong Tianyan had. She saw that Xiao Guoliang was handsome and talented, with high martial arts skills—

even her second brother was no match for him. Seeing her sister's elated and ecstatic expression, she couldn't help but feel envious.

Then she looked at Wu Tianjiao, who, although handsome and refined, was a coward who dared not accept his elder brother

's challenge. She figured his martial arts skills couldn't be that great, and couldn't help but feel resentful towards him. Disappointed,

she was even more disappointed when she heard him say he was a son of a concubine in the Wu family . Seeing him knocked to the ground by her elder brother, she thought, "So his martial arts

are that bad. What good is good looks? He's useless. What's the point of marrying him? He has nothing, all show and no substance

. He's not as good as my brother-in-law! He's handsome and skilled in martial arts!"

Thinking this, she felt both envy and jealousy towards her sister, believing that she should marry

a heroic figure like the Second Young Master Xiao. Naturally, she looked down on Wu Tianjiao, and thus snorted and walked away without a second thought!

Everyone had left, leaving Wu Tianjiao standing alone on the snow, utterly bewildered. After a long while, he

shook his head and muttered to himself, "This woman's face is like the weather, changing in an instant. One moment it's sunny, the next it's cloudy,

and then it's raining. It's completely baffling and inexplicable!"

He muttered to himself for a while, then looked around at the vast expanse of white. Dusk was falling, and it was almost twilight. Suddenly,

he thought , "Dong Tianyan didn't take me to the guest rooms in the north courtyard. Where will I stay tonight?"

The Dong Family Fortress was a sprawling, deep, and expansive garden, with a maze of crisscrossing paths. Without a

guide get lost and lose their bearings. Wu Tianjiao was new to the area and completely unfamiliar with the fortress's layout. Without Dong Tianyan as his

guide, he wandered aimlessly like a headless fly, quickly becoming lost and unsure of where he was. Entering a

garden , filled with purple bamboo, the heavy snow had bent them askew, leaving a messy, disorderly scene. Even the walkways

were littered with fallen bamboo, making passage difficult.

A small path to the west had been carefully cleared of snow and was spotless. Wu Tianjiao followed

this path for a while, and then a small building appeared in the bamboo grove. The plaque above the building's entrance was very eye-catching,

bearing four large, gilded characters: "Ya Xiang Xiao Zhu" (Elegant Fragrance Abode). The calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, clearly

the work of a master calligrapher with profound inner strength.

"Ya Xiang Xiao Zhu!"

Wu Tianjiao murmured, standing in the small courtyard in front of the building. Judging from the name, it was a woman's residence.

He realized he had intruded into the residence of the Dong family's women. This was bad news; if the Dong family found out, they would think he was

a trespasser! Thinking of this, he turned to leave, but after taking only two steps, a weak cough suddenly came from inside the small building, suggesting the

woman

"Madam! It's time for your medicine!"

Seventh Madam! Wu Tianjiao was startled and stopped in his tracks, turning back to look at the small building. He thought, "

What a coincidence! Dongjiabao is so big, I was just worried about not finding Zhao Laoqi's fiancée, and here I

am! It's too much of a coincidence!"

He then heard Seventh Madam coughing from inside the building: "Cough cough… Xiao Cui! My illness is getting worse,

and all the medicine I've taken hasn't helped! If I take any more… I'm afraid I won't make it!"

"Seventh Madam! Please don't say that. A few more doses of medicine and you'll get better!"

Xiao Cui said.

Without further hesitation, Wu Tianjiao walked towards the building, climbed the steps, pushed open the door, and entered.

Instantly , a strong, pungent medicinal smell assaulted his nostrils, and he instinctively covered his nose.

Hearing the door open, Seventh Madam's voice came from the inner room on the right: "Xiao Cui! Someone's here.

Go see who it is!" "

Yes!" Xiao Cui responded, and a moment later, a maidservant of about fifteen or sixteen years old in green robes emerged from the inner bedroom.

Seeing a handsome young man in white standing in the hall, she widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am a friend of the Seventh Madam!"

Wu Tianjiao said with a smile.

"Who has come?"

the Seventh Madam asked from the bedroom.

"I don't know him! Seventh Madam, a young gentleman has come, saying he is your friend!"

Xiao Cui replied.

A silence fell over the bedroom. Without waiting for a response, Wu Tianjiao walked towards the inner room. Seeing this, Xiao Cui hurriedly tried to stop him, saying,

"You cannot enter the Seventh Madam's room!" But

she couldn't stop Wu Tianjiao. Finding her in the way, Wu Tianjiao flicked his right sleeve, striking three vital points on her chest.

Xiao Cui immediately collapsed limply to the ground, unconscious.

Wu Tianjiao lifted the beaded curtain and entered the bedroom. The bedroom was warm and cozy, with a roaring charcoal fire in the

stove . On a wooden couch against the west wall lay a woman, about thirty years old, with her hair loose and flowing down her shoulders. Her face

was pale and sickly. When she saw Wu Tianjiao enter, she exclaimed in surprise, "Who are you? I don't know you!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know me, you should at least know Zhao Laoqi, right?"

Wu Tianjiao said leisurely, and sat down on a chair to the side.

"Seventh Master Zhao!"

Seventh Madam suddenly sat up on the couch, her expression agitated. "You... he sent you?"

Wu Tianjiao shook his head slightly and said calmly, "He didn't send me. I came myself. I owe Seventh Master Zhao

a small favor and want to know... Seventh Madam! He's still all alone. Do you know why?"

Cough cough... Seventh Madam coughed, her face growing paler. She said sadly, "I know. He...

I'm afraid we'll never see each other again in this life!"

"Seventh Madam! Enough with the nonsense. I want to know, you were once Seventh Master Zhao's fiancée. Why did you

suddenly leave him? And instead marry Dong Qianqiu? Did Dong Qianqiu use despicable means to force you?"

Wu Tianjiao asked.

The Seventh Madam opened her eyes wide, stared at him for a moment, and said, "Who are you?"

"A person who isn't afraid of trouble!"

Wu Tianjiao said solemnly, "Seventh Madam, you don't need to be afraid. Dong Qianqiu and I are not on the same side. If you want to

leave Dong Family Fortress, tell me the truth when you see Zhao Laoqi."

The Seventh Madam stared blankly for a long time, then sighed and said, "I don't have long to live anyway, so telling you won't hurt.

The reason I left Zhao Laoqi and married Lord Dong was for my father!"

"For your father!"

Wu Tianjiao asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

The Seventh Madam's face showed hatred, and she smiled bitterly, "Back then, my father became addicted to

gambling . He was chased by the gambling den people, and it was Lord Dong who paid off my father's gambling debts. Lord Dong also intended to take me as a concubine,

and my father also wanted me to marry Lord Dong. To repay his kindness, I had no choice but to leave Seventh Brother and marry Lord Dong

. I'm sorry to Seventh Brother!"
