Wu Gengji, I will become Zi Yu's apprentice at the beginning! ! !

After Li Jing pondered for a moment, he said to the guards around him with a serious look: "Go and carry up Lao Cai's body." Although the soldiers were a little scared, they still replied respectfully: "Yes, sir!" They did not dare to disobey Li Jing's order, so they quickly left the tent. After a while, a body wrapped in white cloth was carried into the hall.

Li Jing slowly stood up, walked down from his chair, and walked steadily to the side of the body. He squatted slightly, stretched out his hand and gently lifted the white cloth covering the body. Everyone turned their heads, not daring to look directly at the horrible corpse. As a veteran who had been on many battlefields, Li Jing did not seem too frightened.

Li Jing carefully examined the corpse. When he saw the tragic state of Lao Cai's head and body, he frowned slightly. He cast his eyes on Lao Cai's neck and carefully observed the shape and characteristics of the wound. After some thought, he couldn't help but say to himself: "This is actually the injury caused by Qi Refining Technique!"

Li Jing gently put down the white cloth in his hand and covered Lao Cai's body, then slowly stood up and sat back down in his seat. He waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to carry the body away and dispose of it. The soldiers understood his meaning and quickly carried the body away from the hall.

Li Jing fell into a brief contemplation. After a while, he said to Lao Feng and the captain of the soldiers in a firm tone: "It must be that when we were mining ore, we angered some monsters hidden deep underground. These monsters must have been causing trouble. Lao Cai was probably killed because the output of the slave ore he was responsible for was too high, which attracted the attention of the monsters. I will reassign a centurion to take over his position. As for other things, you don't have to ask about it anymore."

Lao Feng and the captain responded in unison: "We understand, sir. We will follow your orders!" After that, the two men saluted respectfully to Li Jing and then left the tent.

Over at the inn, the night was deep and everything was silent. However, Wang Hun had no desire to sleep. After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind to ask Wu Geng some questions and teach him some basic skills on Qi Refining. So, he resolutely walked towards Wu Geng's room.

When he knocked on the door gently, a lazy voice came from inside the room. Wang Hun pushed the door open without hesitation, walked to the bed, and shook Wu Geng who was sleeping soundly. Wu Geng opened his eyes dazedly, mumbling dissatisfied words. Wang Hun said seriously: "Wu Geng, get up quickly! I have something important to tell you, come with me quickly, let's go to the grove behind the inn to talk." After that, he turned and left.

Wu Geng sighed helplessly and got out of bed very reluctantly. Although he was full of complaints, he knew Wang Hun's personality and knew that he couldn't refuse. So, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, dragged his heavy feet, and followed Wang Hun out of the room.

The two walked along the path and finally came to a quiet grove behind the inn. Wu Geng yawned and complained, "It's so late, what important thing is there..."

When they arrived at the grove, Wang Hun stopped and turned around. Without further ado, he asked, "Wu Geng, did your grandfather, an old man named Fuxi, come to the mine to look for you before?"

Wu Geng's eyes widened, and he answered in bewilderment: "Grandfather? I don't know what grandfather is... But there was indeed a strange old man who came to see me."

Wang Hun nodded and explained, "That old man is Fuxi, your grandfather. He is also the father of Xinyuehu, the former high priest of the God Clan."

Wu Geng was stunned with shock, muttering to himself in disbelief: "He is actually my grandfather? How is it possible?"

Wang Hun said indifferently: "Nothing is impossible in this world. He is indeed your grandfather, the traitor of the gods - Fuxi!"

Wu Geng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, his face full of confusion and puzzlement, muttering to himself: "My grandfather... my mother... why did they betray the gods? Aren't they the gods who are high above?"

Wang Hun looked at Wu Geng solemnly, and fell into silence for a moment, without answering Wu Geng's question.

However, Wu Geng did not seem to stop thinking. He continued to chatter: "And my father, he is obviously the king of the Shang Kingdom and the common ruler of mankind! Why did he rebel against the gods? In the end, he was killed by the sky..."

Wang Hun took a deep breath and slowly explained, "Your mother and grandfather rebelled against the gods because they could not stand their bad behavior. Most of these gods oppressed the weak and committed all kinds of evil. Your father rose up in rebellion in order to liberate the tens of millions of slaves oppressed by the gods."

Wu Geng frowned, his face still full of confusion and bewilderment, and murmured, "For them... is it really worth it?"

Wang Hun's face suddenly darkened, he raised his hand and slapped Wu Geng, sending him flying, and scolded him harshly: "It's worth it! You have worked in the mine for so many days, can't you understand the pain of those slaves? I know you have a lot of complaints in your heart, but you must grow up as soon as possible!"

Wu Geng covered his face, tears slipped from his fingers, dripped onto the ground, forming a puddle of water. He fell to the ground, his body trembling slightly, and his mouth made a humming sound, like a wounded little animal. However, when he heard Wang Hun's words, a sense of understanding gradually emerged from deep in his heart.

"Your father, your mother, they all died because of the cruelty of the Gods!" Wang Hun's voice was filled with grief and indignation, as if he was shouting for Wu Geng. Wu Geng's eyes widened, tears blurring his vision, and he tried to understand everything Wang Hun said. He knew that his parents had paid a huge price to resist the Gods, and their sacrifice made him deeply sad.

"You shouldn't cry here, but pursue the dreams of your father and mother." Wang Hun's voice was full of power, inspiring Wu Geng. Wu Geng slowly stood up, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and his eyes gradually became firm. He told himself that he could no longer indulge in sadness, but had to bravely face the cruel reality.

"Yes, that's right, I understand... I will definitely study hard with you, do my best to liberate the slaves, help my father to avenge, and take revenge on the gods." Wu Geng's tone was firm and powerful, and his determination was burning like a flame. Wang Hun smiled slightly, very satisfied with Wu Geng's performance. He patted Wu Geng on the shoulder and encouraged him to keep going.

"Yes, I am very pleased with your progress. However, this is just the beginning, and we still have a lot to do next. First, I will teach you some basic techniques of Qi Refining, so that you can better deal with powerful enemies and protect yourself." Wang Hun said.
