Chapter 857: Chapter 859: The Invitation Arrives
Nian Shutong accepted the invitation card without saying whether she would go or not, just holding it in her hand and walking away expressionlessly.
Behind her, Wu Yi had a different perspective.
Since Nian Shutong didn’t throw it away, it ans she’s going to attend.
This ti, the Wu family made two plans, and they will succeed at least once.
Holding the invitation card, Nian Shutong returned to the neighborhood but didn’t enter her own yard; instead, she went to the one next to it.
In the yard, Aunt i, wearing a long dress, was watering the flowers.
“The invitation card has been delivered.”
“Yes.”
Nian Shutong placed the invitation card on the table. Aunt i put down the watering can, walked over, glanced at it, and said, “What a vulgar color.”
The invitation card was golden, with a golden ingot symbol on it. Honestly, it was indeed a bit gaudy.
“The taste of the Wu Family people is getting worse.”
Aunt i sat on the stone bench, and Nian Shutong curiously asked, “Why do you say that?”
Aunt i didn’t conceal anything and started revealing so of the Wu family’s secrets to Nian Shutong.
“A hundred years ago, the Wu family was still the strongest family interstellar, at that ti, the most powerful commanders in the legion all ca from the Wu family. Even the soldiers in the legion were trained by the Wu family. Although they didn’t beco commanders, Wu Family mbers occupied nearly two-thirds of the legion.”
“Sadly, after the Family Head of the Wu family died on the battlefield, his two sons disagreed, dividing the Wu family into two. The current Wu family is just one half of it.”
Nian Shutong, hearing such secrets for the first ti, inquisitively asked, “Is the current head of the Wu family one of those two sons back then?”
“Probably.”
Seeing Nian Shutong’s curiosity, Aunt i also asked curiously, “Are you very interested in the Wu family?”
“I’ve t them before, left a strong impression.” Nian Shutong continued to ask, “Do you know his current level?”
“I don’t know, probably not very capable.”
Aunt i recalled and said, “Back then, between the two brothers, one didn’t want to supply the legion with Wu Family people anymore, who is the current Family Head. His talent was average, but he gained a lot of support.”
“Alas, I can understand the Wu family’s feelings. Watching your family mbers die one by one on the battlefield is indeed hard to bear. There’s no one who truly empathizes, and the pain is only your own.”
“As outsiders, we don’t know what happened, only that overnight, the Family Head of the Wu family changed. The one with not much talent beca Family Head, while the talented one disappeared.”
Hearing this, Nian Shutong realized that the not very talented one probably beca the Wu Family Ancestor. He probably didn’t have the talent for cultivating physical ability or spiritual power, but had a talent for Cultivation.
“The banquet starts in three days, we should start preparing.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“Not at all, I’m willing to do anything for you.”
The suddenly ingratiating Aunt i made Nian Shutong ask knowingly, “What do you want to do?”
“Hehe, as expected from my niece, we have a tacit understanding.”
Aunt i leaned forward, cautiously asking, “You know who your mother is, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then you should understand that a person like your mother always has a few life-and-death companions.”
“Hmm.”
“Qi Shuang from Gravity Star is one of them. I want to tell them about your existence. We’re all life-and-death comrades, only four left.”
“They’d be very eager to know that the War God they once followed has such an outstanding daughter.”
By the end of Aunt i’s words, her eyes were glistening with tears.
“Alright, stop with that, it doesn’t work on .”
Nian Shutong pushed Aunt i’s face away with one palm, but she said, “You can arrange a dinner, and I’ll attend.”
“But, I don’t promise anything else.”
Aunt i imdiately raised her hand and said to Nian Shutong, “Alright, just go, just go.”
She was very satisfied with this result.
“Girl, co back after class tomorrow, your Auntie will take you shopping.” Aunt i was very excited to finally have the chance to spend money on her niece.
“Do I even need to dress up?”
Nian Shutong felt that just attending the Wu family’s banquet was already doing them a big favor.
“Of course! Even if you’re going to cause trouble, do it stunningly, draw all the attention.”
Aunt i, for once showing so backbone, said, “This ti, listen to . How could I as your aunt not go shopping with you?”
“Okay, I will co back.”
Nian Shutong didn’t want to give the Wu family any face, but she wanted to give Aunt i so face.
Nian Shutong’s agreent made Aunt i so excited that she spun in place several tis, then started planning tomorrow’s shopping route with Ye Zi.
“This outfit will definitely look great on the girl, must have it.”
“Sothing colorful works too, this shop should be included.”
“Custom-made from the Chuan family, let’s check first in case we make it in ti.”
“What about these shoes, what do you think?”
Even though Aunt i was asking, Ye Zi had no ti to respond, as Aunt i perfectly self-answered.
The next day, Nian Shutong still went to class, and after class, she returned to the neighborhood as agreed with Aunt i.
“Girl, you’re back. Let’s go. Auntie has arranged everything.”
Aunt i was initially worried, but seeing Nian Shutong put her mind at ease, she led her away.
“I promised, so I’d do it.”
“I know, but I’m excited, uncontrollably excited.”
Aunt i took Nian Shutong shopping.
Or rather, on a shopping spree.
As long as they passed a store and Nian Shutong glanced at sothing, she imdiately bought it all.
As for the plans made by staying up late yesterday, none were implented.
Later on, Nian Shutong didn’t dare to let her eyes wander, fearing the excited Aunt i might buy the entire street she glanced at.
This wasn’t just her wild guess, it was real.
Because she looked at a building a bit longer, Aunt i wanted to arrange for Ye Zi to buy that building.
Regardless, Nian Shutong finally stopped her, it was getting a bit out of control.
The two spent an entire day shopping. Nian Shutong wasn’t tired, just ntally exhausted, and additionally, her eyes felt fatigued.
“Auntie, we’ve bought enough, let’s go back.”
“Go back?” Aunt i was still a bit unsatisfied, she loved this ti spent with Nian Shutong.
“How about we have a al together?”
Aunt i’s eyes carried a hint of pleading, like a pitiful little dog.
“Okay.”
Nian Shutong wondered why between the two of them, she seed more like the elder?
However, she still chose to fulfill Aunt i’s wish.
Hearing the affirmative answer, Aunt i was delighted and led Nian Shutong to a high-end restaurant.
Ye Zi, following behind, did not go in, leaving plenty of space for the two of them.
