Chapter 356 - The Two Wu Brothers
Wu Hei and Lin Mu both heard a rambunctious voice shouting from behind them. Lin Mu was wondered who would be so unrestrained to shout like this here, while Wu Hei instead felt a headache approaching him.
"Who shouted like that?" Lin Mu asked.
~Sigh~
"Who else could it be other than my elder brother…" Wu Hei said as he rubbed his forehead and turned around.
"Ahaha! I knew I recognized that back. I'll find you anywhere little brother!" Wu Teng said as he approached them with a pot of wine in his hand. There were even two courtesans that were accompanying him and were clutching his arms.
~Swig~
~Gulp~gulp~gulp~
~Burp~
He finished the entire pot of wine in one go and wiped his face after a loud burp. Now he had become the center of attention and everyone was wondering who could be making so much disturbance here. While this was a rather unrestrained banquet considering it was held at the Alluring Wisteria pavilion, there was still a level of decorum they followed.
At the very least they would not act like this in the open and would go to a private room for that.
"Hehe~ Lord Teng is so dashing~" One of the courtesans that were accompanying Wu Teng spoke.
"Not only is he dashing, but he's also so strong~" The second courtesan said as she trailed a finger on his bulging biceps.
"Aiya~" both the courtesans let a little scream as Wu Teng pinched their supple waists.
"My two lilies are quite naughty, I see," Wu Teng said as looked at them with a hungry gaze.
Lin Mu was now feeling as if he was seeing the most typical aristocrat that he had heard in all of the stories of the nobility. Usually, people like him were weak that liked to use their positions and clan to suppress others while taking advantage of them.
"What disrespect, this person has no sense of decorum…" Someone commented.
"Indeed, I wonder if Lord Cai will throw him out?" Someone else spoke.
"WHO SAID THAT?!" Wu Teng shouted, looking around.
The people flinched upon hearing the sudden shout.
"I asked who said that? Who dares taunt me? Come out!" Wu Teng yelled as the waves of spirit qi emanated from his body.
Everyone that was a cultivator could feel the pressure coming from him, and their faces turned pale.
Lin Mu took a closer look at the agitated man and realized that he was at the mid stage of the core condensation realm. Wu Teng was over six feet tall and had bulging muscles all over his body. He was clean shaven and had short hair as they did in the army.
Yet this only accentuated his demeanor and made him look unrestrained and dominating.
Lin Mu couldn't help but compare Wu Teng with Wu Hei. The two brothers seemed to be polar opposites. Wu Teng was unrestrained and wild, while Wu Hei was calm and scholarly. Still, both of them were strong being at the core condensation realm. This was not something that could be denied.
"Make way! Make way! Owner Cai is coming though!" A couple of servants announced.
Lord Cai had just gone to meet a few guests when suddenly he heard the ruckus. Sighing to himself, he just hoped it was not someone too unreasonable. But when he heard the shout, he instantly recognized the person. There was only one person who would dare to do something like this in the presence of the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect.
But when he felt the spirit qi waves, he knew that he had to hurry or the matter may become problematic.
"This lieutenant is so unbecoming of his title. Where is his military discipline? He acts like some common village gangster…" Lord Cai muttered under his breath.
Soon the crowd of people separated and the old man saw Wu Teng.
"Lord Wu Teng! Please be calm, I'm here now. Let us talk separately," Lord Cai said.
"Humph!" Wu Teng harrumphed unwillingly but still decided to follow Lord Cai's words.
"Brother, please keep some semblance of respect for your image, if not for yourself then for mother…" Wu Hei also spoke.
~haa~
"Alright… if you say so…" Wu Teng said and followed them to the corner.
A table had been set up under a gazebo and they could see the entirety of the garden from it. Lin Mu stayed silent and simply followed behind them without interfering. He wanted to see how this would progress and was now quite interested in this Lieutenant.
"I didn't expect that Lord Teng would also be coming to the banquet, seeing how you've been busy with the predations." Lord Cai said, starting the conversation to take Wu Teng's mind of the previous thing.
"Ah yes, of course… but how can I miss the chance to attend a banquet like this! Ahaha!" Wu Teng laughed while slapping the table which shook under his strength.
Wu Hei gave a look to his brother, which made him stop.
"Come one little brother you are no fun…" Wu Teng complained.
"This is no time for fun brother, you should be back home not here at this… 'establishment'. What will sister-in-law think of this?" Wu Hei scolded lightly.
"Oh, she'll be fine~" Wu Teng replied while waving his hand.
Wu Hei looked at the two courtesans that were still clinging to his brother and stared at them. The two women froze up and didn't know what to do.
"Go! Bring us some refreshments!" Lord Cai ordered, noticing Wu Hei's intentions.
~sigh~
"When will you learn brother…" Wu Hei muttered while rubbing his forehead.
~Chuckle~
Lin Mu lightly chuckled, seeing the banter between the two brothers. While on the surface it seemed like they did not like each other, the reality was rather opposite. Lin Mu could tell this now and felt like laughing a bit.
"Oh? And who's this? Don't tell me… did little brother finally make a friend?" Wu Teng spoke upon seeing Lin Mu.
