Chapter 3
Mutual Harm Between Uncle and Nephew

All the way, laughing and cursing.

Wen Nan Tian and Wen Hu Jiu, uncle and nephew, came to a tavern in Wenjia City, Lingnan together.

"Waiter, bring us some wine!"

"Waiter, order some dishes."

Wen Nan Tian rolled his eyes at Wen Hu Jiu: "Second Uncle, you are really not afraid of death. If grandpa knows you brought me here to drink, do you not want to go home anymore?"

"Uh, habit, I'm used to it." Wen Hu Jiu said with a guilty conscience.

Then, Wen Nan Tian, ignoring Wen Hu Jiu, directly ordered a whole table of dishes.

Anyway, Wen Hu Jiu would be paying.

After the waiter left, Wen Hu Jiu turned to Wen Nan Tian opposite him: "Nan Tian, you entered the Self-Sovereign Realm four years ago, and you are still in the Self-Sovereign Realm. You are not doing well at all."

Speaking of Wen Nan Tian's early cultivation speed, even Wen Hu Jiu had to admire it.

He began cultivation at six years old, broke through nine ranks and entered the First Rank at nine years old, broke through the Diamond Mortal Realm at ten years old, and entered the Self-Sovereign Realm at thirteen years old.

It was only because the Wen family kept his information tightly under wraps.

Otherwise, his Self-Sovereign Realm at thirteen years old alone would have been enough to shock the world.

Seeing that Wen Hu Jiu was genuinely concerned about him this time, Wen Nan Tian didn't hide it: "Second Uncle, who told you I am still in the Self-Sovereign Realm? I have long since broken through to the Heavenly Soaring Realm and entered the Nine Heavens!"

"Why do you think the poison you gave me before didn't help me much?"

"You...you...freak."

Wen Hu Jiu's eyes widened in shock, his mouth twitched slightly, and finally, he could only utter these few words.

He was still worried about how Wen Nan Tian wasn't in the Heavenly Soaring Realm yet, but this little brat had quietly entered the Heavenly Soaring Realm?

"You little rascal, you're not honest."

"It's okay to hide it from outsiders, but you even hide it from your own family?"

Wen Hu Jiu looked like he was gnashing his teeth in anger.

"You didn't ask."

"Besides, isn't this what you asked about, and I told you directly?"

Wen Nan Tian shrugged, not caring at all.

As they spoke, the food and drink they ordered were brought to the table, various precious delicacies, mountains and seas, all laid out on the table.

"West Lake Vinegar Fish from Drunk Dream Tower, Second Uncle, your favorite."

Seeing the dishes arrive, Wen Nan Tian gave Wen Hu Jiu a mischievous smile, the latter stunned: "What the hell?"

West Lake Vinegar Fish, his favorite?

Who spread this rumor?

"Come, Second Uncle, this West Lake Vinegar Fish is truly a delicacy!" Wen Nan Tian gave Wen Hu Jiu a dish with a mischievous smile.

???

A delicacy?

You want me, Wen Hu Jiu, to become a delicacy?

Wen Hu Jiu's forehead turned black. This West Lake Vinegar Fish was... West Lake was West Lake, Vinegar Fish was Vinegar Fish, did he think he hadn't been tricked by this thing before?

He was, after all, a famous poison swordsman in the martial world, with his poison and his sword, he had made countless talented people fear him.

Once, because of West Lake Vinegar Fish, he almost lost face!

But he was truly helpless towards his nephew. This little rascal knew how to snitch, he was a true little ancestor who couldn't be offended.

"You eat too, your favorite, pufferfish with the poison glands left in, sweet and sour." Wen Hu Jiu said through gritted teeth.

???

Pufferfish, with the poison glands left in?

Wen Nan Tian had a black line on his head. Pufferfish was delicious, but without the poison glands, could it even be eaten?

I'm immune to all poisons?

No problem then!

"Come, I'll have a whole plate. Uncle, your vinegar fish, we have deep feelings, finish it in one gulp." Wen Nan Tian cheerfully brought the sweet and sour pufferfish in front of him and passed the West Lake Vinegar Fish to Wen Hu Jiu.

Isn't it just about mutual harm?

Who's afraid of who!

"Forget it, forget it, this West Lake Vinegar Fish, I can't afford it, you can just eat it yourself." Wen Hu Jiu shook his head like a rattle, repeatedly waving his hands.

He once again felt how difficult Wen Nan Tian was to deal with.

Immune to all poisons, he could just be as reckless as he wanted.

Pufferfish with the poison glands still there, he ate it with his mouth dripping with oil, not stopping.

But, even though Wen Nan Tian ate it as if nothing was wrong, it was only limited to him.

If anyone else ate this thing, they would definitely eat it in one bite, and not say a word.

..

The two of them were just joking around.

Afterwards, the uncle and nephew enjoyed their meal heartily. When they finished eating, Wen Nan Tian looked at Wen Hu Jiu: "Second Uncle, what are you back for this time?"

Wen Hu Jiu, as the face of the Wen family in the martial world, and a top-ranking expert on the Grand Master List, didn't come back often. He was usually wandering around the martial world, occasionally coming back when there was something to do or for the New Year or festivals, when the old man called him back.

"Um..."

Wen Hu Jiu was stunned for a moment, but still said: "Nothing, just passing by."

"You sure?"

"Sure, you're my good nephew, how could I lie to you?"

"Oh, I see. I thought you were coming to borrow medicine from me again. If you are just passing by, that's great!"

Wen Nan Tian picked his teeth and looked at Wen Hu Jiu with amusement.

The person opposite him was his own uncle, they had been together for nearly twenty years. Wen Hu Jiu could fart, and he knew what he was going to say.

Just passing by?

Who passes by the Wen family's old home, deep in the towering mountains and deep valleys?

Why didn't he just pass by the Four Extremities of the World?

As for borrowing medicine.

That's a long story. The Wen family is famous in the martial world for their medicine-making, and naturally, Wen Nan Tian also has a hand in it. Moreover, his Spring Cicada also had time-related attributes, as long as he quietly stayed in the medicine garden, he could accelerate the growth of those medicinal herbs.

This was something Wen Nan Tian accidentally discovered.

It wasn't just medicinal herbs, even some poisons could be affected by his Spring Cicada, making them grow faster.

Naturally, this couldn't be hidden from others, but Wen Nan Tian's medicine garden was top secret, and no one could enter except himself and his grandfather Wen Lin, Wen Hu Jiu only found out about it after the old man accidentally let it slip.

Then, he kept pestering Wen Nan Tian to borrow all kinds of poisons and medicines.

"You little rascal, you're not going to admit it after you've eaten and wiped your mouth clean, are you?" Wen Hu Jiu immediately stopped being stubborn. He knew his nephew could actually do this.

"Didn't you say you were passing by?"

"Who said that? How come I didn't hear that? I, Wen Hu Jiu, went home to visit my family, I have to stay for a while, right?"

Wen Hu Jiu said with a righteous air.

Seeing him like this, if it wasn't for Wen Nan Tian hearing it with his own ears, he would have doubted whether it was his own second uncle who said he was just passing by.

But this thought only flashed through his mind.

"Alright, then consider yourself to be home visiting. I'll take you to see grandpa later and say you miss him."

"....."

Miss grandpa?

Miss getting hung from a tree and whipped by him?

Or miss him chasing me for two miles to kill me?

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, this is my nephew, my own, my own."

After calming himself down for a while, Wen Hu Jiu finally suppressed his anger, then he licked his face, took out a list from his sleeve, and flattered: "Good nephew, this is the medicinal herbs and some poisons that your second uncle wants to borrow this time."

Seeing the list of medicines and poisons passed over, Wen Nan Tian opened it and looked at it. It was no surprise.

"Alright, I'll get them ready for you when we go back."

"How long are you planning to stay at home this time?"

This time, Wen Nan Tian asked seriously.

"I don't think I can stay for long. I'll have to go out in a few days." Wen Hu Jiu shook his head.

"Something came up again?"

Speaking of this, Wen Hu Jiu was furious: "It's still your cousin, Luo Yu, who sent me a message saying that Little Dong Jun wants to make a name for himself, so he stole the family's deed and ran away."

"It seems like he's in... Chaisang City, Southwest Dao. There are hidden currents there, even people from the Heaven Beyond Heaven have appeared. I have to go there as soon as possible to keep an eye on him, lest there be any accidents, your aunt will poison me to death."

Wen Hu Jiu said with a helpless face.

His two juniors, one was a worry, imitating others and playing the runaway game, the other was a heart-ache, always liked to taunt him, and they mutually harmed each other, but he had no choice.

As soon as he made a move, this little rascal would go and snitch!

.

They were all troublesome.

They were practically little ancestors.

"Huh?"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was attentive.

Originally, Wen Nan Tian wanted to say: "Your cousin Dong Jun is the only grandson of the Marquis of Western Suppression. He ran away, that killing god of his grandfather wouldn't be indifferent, right? He must have sent experts to secretly protect him. Do you really need to go yourself?"

But, Wen Nan Tian thought again.

Isn't this a chance to leave the Wen family and go into the martial world to make a name for himself?

"Reputation points, I'm coming for you!"

Wen Nan Tian shouted in his heart.

He had read the original novel as a Blue Person. He knew that not long after Bai Li Dong Jun ran away from home, it was the two largest wealthy families in Southwest Dao, the Gu and Yan families, who fought for the title of the number one family.

And behind the Yan family was the Heaven Beyond Heaven people that his second uncle mentioned earlier.

Such a great opportunity, wouldn't it be perfect for me to make a name for myself?

Wen Nan Tian's eyes lit up. If he stepped on the whole Southwest Dao, wouldn't he be able to drink alone and be famous throughout the world?

"Bang!"

Thinking of this, Wen Nan Tian stood up immediately and slammed his hand on the table: "Second Uncle, I'm going with you!"
