4. Rare love.

Wu Qi kept trying to use the cloud step and after 3 attempts he got the basic idea and executed the technique immediately, his body became lightweight, and also every step he took reduced the distance by at least 10 meters. Mu Lian also told him that his martial art talent was excellent and it might also improve in the future.

He soon reached his home, at the entrance were big red gates and a carved piece of metal with 'WU' inscribed on it. Wu Qi passed from the gate on seeing him Guards bowed only a little but wearing expressions of mocking and disdain. Wu Qi was always used to this so he ignored but Mu Lian was not at all happy seeing this.

' How can you ignore them, earlier it was different but now you have power why are you allowing them to look down on you' Mu Lian asked angrily.

Seeing Mu Lian angry for his sake warmth surged in his heart, " Do not worry sister Lian hurting them will only make me seen as a tyrant, I will show the entire clan that I am not the trash before leaving no one will be able to look down on me then" Upon hearing him calling her Sister Lian half of her anger dissipated as for another half she smiled mischievously and Wu Qi does not notice that the moment he left the vicinity all the clothes guards were wearing were torn apart leaving them naked. he could only hear a shriek

AH!

" What happened, it was those guards' voice?"

' Do not worry, do not care about those idiots' Hearing Mu Lian says this Wu Qi knows that she did something ' It seems she is also petty' Wu Qi thought to himself but a smile appeared on his face knowing that she did it for him. He soon reached his grandpa's courtyard which is also where he lives. upon entering he moved towards the corner most room in the residence and knocked on it.

" Grandpa it is me, xiao qi " As soon as he finished yelling gate opened and an old man with a white beard and white hair, wearing brown colored robes appeared. and he immediately holds Wu qi's ear and turned it.

" Where were you, just because your grandpa is old now do you think you can stay out for as long as you wish, ha!" Grandpa becomes furious but upon seeing Wu Qi's reaction who was instead of shouting was smiling, grandpa becomes confused he put more pressure on his ear but still does not see the reaction he was aiming for, hope came in his mind as he put the force equivalent to Greater stage body foundation but Wu Qi was still smiling, Grandpa immediately checked Wu Qi's cultivation and was shocked.

" Yo...you how can your cultivation be peak body foundation?"

Wu Qi was happy seeing his grandpa's reaction he learned from Mu Lian that to others who tried to inspect his body they will only see him as a normal human no matter how powerful they are, it was also one of the perks he received from his 'origin soul body of nothingness' which will also help to conceal the presence of his true soul dimension from others. But when his Grandpa tried to check he took away the concealment from his cultivation.

" Hehe, Grandpa are you shocked? I find an old man in the forest he told me that my body is a special type of physique, luckily that guy had the medicine pill needed for my condition it helped me reach the peak immediately." Wu Qi although does not like lying to his grandfather but he could not tell about the statue, Mu Lian, or about his true special body to anyone, so he could only make up a story.

Although Wu Qi's grandpa was a little skeptical about the story, but upon sensing his cultivation again he become so happy that he believed it without a doubt.

" So, where is that master I would like to invite him here and show my gratitude"

Wu qi felt a headache listening to this, ' just tell him that master was very powerful than anyone in the clan and refused to come as he was busy, he only helped you because he took pity on you'. Wu qi immediately relayed the same words to his grandfather which he accepted making Wu qi take a sigh of relief.

" Hehe, I would like to see who will call my grandson trash now and look down on you"

" Actually grandpa regarding that I decided to challenge Wu Li ( young master of the Wu clan) in front of the whole clan, after defeating him I will leave the clan as I want to see the outside world, so will you come with me " Wu Qi felt little sad leaving his grandpa who took so much care of him so he decided to ask him to leave together.

Upon hearing Wu Qi grandpa sigh, " earlier when you could not cultivate I decided to keep you happy by giving you everything I could. but now, you could get whatever you need by yourself, even if you have not thought to leave by yourself I would have forced you because you are young there is a lot you need to learn from the outside world, but I will not go I am already tired I just want to spend my days here peacefully as an elder guiding new disciples."

Wu qi hearing his grandpa teared up and got on his knees and bowed

" Grandpa, I am unfilial please forgive me." Seeing this grandpa also got teared up and immediately forced Wu qi up " you are not unfilial, even though you were not my blood you gave me all the happiness as my grandson, you always took care of me, never asked me anything and never even once used my status to harm others. Wu Qi this clan never treated you well you should leave but not before proving yourself and also you have to promise me if you feel tired you will come back, I will always welcome you."

" Grandpa I will come back but not to hide but to show you my glory" Wu qi said while hugging his grandpa and he also swear the same in his heart. Even Mu Lian became emotional inside the soul dimension seeing this, in the world of cultivation where scheming is everywhere love between families especially when two people are not even blood related is very rare.

" Ok enough now, brat tell me are you confident in defeating that brat Wu Li, he is 16 and also peak body foundation realm he has also learned various martial arts, according to me you will be at a disadvantage," Grandpa said worriedly as wu qi was unable to cultivate, he was not allowed to read martial art in the library.

"Grandpa, do not worry that mysterious man also gave me two arts luckily my martial art talent was high enough, believe me, grandpa now I need your help in challenging him in front of the clan." Seeing Wu qi so confident in himself Grandpa could only accept it.

" Since you are so confident, tonight in clan meeting I will tell everyone that you are challenging Wu Li tomorrow for a duel, now you should go and meet that little girl Wu Rong she came to ask about you daily." grandpa glared at Wu qi meaningly at last sentence and then left excitedly thinking about how those old fools will react, in clan meeting.
