Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 335 Paying A Visit

Ou Yangming entered the courtyard sullen but stopped all of a sudden when he noticed a hateful person in the courtyard.

Bai Shixue, the witch, was sitting on her original spot and looking apologetically at the young fellow. Yes. The young lady looked deeply apologetic, but from Ou Yangming’s perspective, her apology was equivalent to mockery. Ou Yangming flashed to the front of Bai Shixue at the speed of light and reached out for her without any hesitation. Nonetheless, the young pavilion master did not intend to dodge at all. On top of that, tears could be vaguely seen at the corners of her eyes as though she was wronged.

The young fellow was furious, but he could not bring himself to attack the pitiful Bai Shixue.

He was not pedantic, but he was also not one to harm a beauty.

After all, the unhappy misfortune did not cost any lives. Besides, other people were probably itching to be in his place instead. “Young Pavilion Master, please give me the Recording Stone.” Ou Yangming sighed and thought, ‘Lil’ witch, I’m not going to deal with you anymore!’

“Master Ou, didn’t I leave the Recording Stone for you already?” Bai Shixue pouted her

lips.

“That Recording Stone only stored half of what I said. Where did my last sentence go?” Ou Yangming glared at her. Although only a sentence was missing, the entire meaning became different.

Bai Shixue spread out her hands and noted helplessly, “Master Ou, I had insufficient essential Qi when I used the Recording Stone, so I only managed to retain that many words.”

‘I’d be a fool if I trust you!’ Ou Yangming rolled his eyes. Nevertheless, he suddenly realized that he did not have many ideas to go against Bai Shixue, who was obviously going to act shamelessly.

Bai Shixue picked up a cup of fragrant tea from the stone table and said, “Master Ou, I know it was my fault. Please forgive me this time.”

“Young Pavilion Master, you’re being too polite. I dare not receive your apology!” Ou Yangming responded snappily. He had decided to stay away from the young lady from then on.

‘Since I can’t afford to provoke you, do you think I can’t avoid you…’

Following that, Ou Yangming turned around and flapped his sleeves as he returned to the house. No matter how Bai Shixue called out to him, he simply ignored her.

Bai Shixue had a strange look on her face when she watched Ou Yangming return to the house angrily. She sighed and thought, ‘I was deliberately trying to leave a deep impression for him, but a strange accident let Wu Hanning benefit from it instead.

‘I guess my fate was unfavorable, but nobody knows who will be victorious until we’re at the very end…’

The next morning, Ou Yangming woke up early and informed the servants that he was going to visit the Woo family.

He was still staying in the courtyard provided by the Yi Pavilion. The young fellow was displeased with the little witch’s actions and was afraid of her, but the other people might imagine things if he left at this moment. In order to not draw attention, it was inappropriate for him to move out during this sensitive period. Once he gave the order, a luxurious carriage arrived at his courtyard.

Ou Yangming could not help but hesitate before he entered the carriage. He somehow developed a phobia of carriages after yesterday’s misunderstanding.

Despite that, it would be discourteous for him to walk to the Woo residence given his status now.

He shook his head and cast those thoughts aside, then he entered the carriage and traveled on the main road.

Ou Yangming curbed his thought as soon as the carriage stopped, and he forced a smile on his face. Just as he was going to open the curtain, thunderous roars were heard outside the carriage. “Welcome, consort!”

The smile on his face froze, and his hand stopped in mid-air.

He was so enraged at that moment that he wanted to leave immediately.

Soon enough, the curtain was opened, but it was the coachman who opened it. Ou Yangming took a deep breath and left the carriage with a gloomy face.

A massive luxurious residence came into view. When the door was opened, two rows of strong and courageous men stood like javelins. It was evident that the men were the ones who shouted earlier.

Ou Yangming was vexed, but before he could express it, another voice was heard coming from inside the residence.

“Brother Ou, you’re finally here. I’ve been anxiously waiting for your arrival!” Woo Lejia walked out with a bright smile. A formidable momentum surged when he walked out majestically, unknowingly making the other people feel inferior.

This was the momentum of a Supreme Great Ancestor. If one had ulterior motives, one’s true nature would be unmasked right away.

Needless to say, it was also because Woo Lejia had just become a great ancestor. He had stabilized his boundary but had not fully grasped his momentum. If that was not the case, he could easily act like an ordinary person if he wanted to and not release any unusual auras.

That would be the perfect depiction of going back to basics.

“Brother Woo, how can you personally welcome me? I don’t deserve the honor.” Ou Yangming laughed and cupped his hands.

“I owe my achievement to you, Brother Ou. If one of us is undeserving of the honor, it should be me.” Woo Lejia waved his hand hard, then he turned sideways and said, “Please come in for some tea.”

Ou Yangming nodded and followed Woo Lejia through the door.

Whether it was the Woo family disciples who welcomed Ou Yangming or the people from the Yi Pavilion, they were envious when they looked at the young fellow and Woo Lejia.

A Supreme Great Ancestor—that was a Supreme Great Ancestor!

Moreover, Ou Yangming was a more marvelous figure than a Supreme Great Ancestor. As such, the other people could boast to their friends about having met two remarkable individuals.

Woo Lejia uttered softly when he led the way, “Brother Ou, I admire you!”

“What?” Ou Yangming was stunned. “Brother Ou, His Majesty has many princes but only one princess. Furthermore, Her Royal Highness is the God-favored daughter of this generation and is acknowledged by the imperial family to be a promising candidate for the inheritance of an ancient lost study. It’s truly admirable that you managed to delight her!” Woo Lejia laughed as he explained.

Ou Yangming stopped, and his face turned dark.

However, Woo Lejia still looked envious. It came from his heart as though Ou Yangming really did something commendable. Struck with a thought, Ou Yangming asked, ‘Brother Woo, what did you mean by the inheritance of an ancient lost study?”

Woo Lejia hesitated but answered, “For generations, a person from the imperial family can break through a great ancestor’s limit and become an unbelievable supreme powerhouse. Powerhouses who achieved that have all inherited the imperial family’s ancient lost study.”

Ou Yangming’s heart skipped a beat, and he instantly thought about Wu Yuanwei from the secret realm.

The elder had the power to summon the wind and the rain; he was omnipotent. It was worth noting that even Ou Yangming could only envy the elder.

Woo Lejia lowered his voice even more as he continued, “Brother Ou, I heard that the imperial family has the power to communicate with beings beyond Heaven. If you’re mighty enough, you might be able to go there!”

Ou Yangming pouted his lips. He could not tell Woo Lejia that Wu Yuanwei had actually granted him a slot to go beyond Heaven. That said, he had to pay a price for the slot; he had to marry a lady from the Wu family.

Seeing as Ou Yangming was indifferent, Woo Lejia quickly added, “I know it sounds unbelievable, but for thousands of years, people from the imperial family have indeed succeeded!”

Ou Yangming asked, “Has it only happened in the imperial family?”

“No. Apart from the imperial family, at least two outsiders have accomplished it too,” Woo Lejia sighed. “But they were top-notch geniuses in their respective generations and are far from an insignificant person like me.”

Woo Lejia had become a Supreme Great Ancestor, but he still humbled himself.

Clearly, the two geniuses had held incredible positions in his heart.

As they conversed, they arrived at the Woo residence’s main hall.

Outside the hall, an elder stood with his hands behind his back and smiled.

Ou Yangming greeted the elder seriously, “Greetings, senior.”

“We’re graced by your honorable presence, Master Ou.” Woo Taiping laughed out loud and said after a pause, “Lejia and you hit it off in the beginning, so make yourself at home and don’t be so polite.” Far away, the Woo family disciples and servants were extremely jealous as they watched.

Woo Taiping used to be the Woo family’s only Supreme Great Ancestor, but Woo Lejia had also become one now.

Even so, the two Supreme Great Ancestors were so friendly toward Ou Yangming, and they did not seem like they were flattering the young fellow at all.

This meant that Ou Yangming could act as he wished in the Woo family, even the clan leader dared not provoke him at all.

Ou Yangming grinned. “Senior, don’t worry, I’ll surely make myself at home. I might have to trouble you for several days, as long as you don’t chase me away.”

Woo Taiping’s eyes lit up. “Master Ou, if you don’t mind our simple residence, we welcome you wholeheartedly.”

Ou Yangming laughed and glanced at the other people in the hall. “These people are…”

“Brother Ou, let me introduce them to you. This is my uncle, who’s also our current clan leader. This is…” Woo Lejia quickly introduced everyone.

Through his introduction, Ou Yangming found that each of them was a top-notch figure in the Woo family, and three of them were even martial artists at the peak of Yang Grade. As such, those three powerhouses, in particular, looked at the young fellow fervently, but they dared not lose their manners because two Supreme Great Ancestors were present.

Ou Yangming greeted them one by one and was rather reserved. Though he was the youngest among them, he had the proudest bearing

Having said that, nobody denounced him because they thought it was reasonable.

At last, Ou Yangming took his seat and expressed with a smile, “Brother Woo, I suddenly decided to visit, so I prepared a gift for you, and I hope you’ll kindly accept it.”

Everyone else became attentive, but they were confused when they scanned the young fellow from head to toe.
