Urban Cultivation: Starting with Winning Back My Wife and Daughter

At this moment, Fu Wuqu was checking on Guo Yi's condition in the side room.

After a while, Guo Ren brought Fu Wuqu back to the living room.

"Master Fu, is my son really dead or just pretending?" Guo Ming asked immediately.

Fu Wuqu said without hesitation, "Feigned death. Mr. Guo Yi's life soul was entangled with his celestial soul by a magical technique, which is why he looks like a dead person."

Guo Ren asked in surprise, "But my second brother clearly has no heartbeat or breathing."

Fu Wuqu said, "He is in a state of deep hibernation, so the equipment cannot detect his breathing and heartbeat. In short, I can guarantee with my life that Mr. Guo Yi is not dead."

Guo Ming let out a long sigh and said, "It's good that he's alive. Master Fu, can you wake him up?"

Fu Wuqu shook his head and said helplessly, "Elder Guo, my magical power is weak, and I am not skilled in soul magic. If I forcefully cast a spell, it might harm Mr. Guo Yi's soul. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. The best solution is for you to find the person who cast the spell and ask them to undo it. Do you know who that expert is?"

A hint of hatred and fear flashed in Guo Ren's eyes as he said, "Wang Xingyu."

Fu Wuqu had been cultivating at home recently and was unaware of the bet between Wang Xingyu and Hong Sihai. Upon hearing this, he was startled and asked, "That Wang Xingyu from Xingyun City?"

Guo Ren nodded and said, "Yes. Master Fu, do you know Wang Xingyu?"

Fu Wuqu's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Old Guo, President Guo, I want to know the whole story."

Guo Ren then recounted the extraordinary gamble that the Guo and Wang families had engaged in in Haojiang.

Fu Wuqu sighed and said, "Mr. Wang is the number one expert in the world, and also the number one sorcerer. He's practically a god in the eyes of ordinary people. What is Hong Sihai anyway? How dare he gamble with Mr. Wang? He's really overestimating himself."

After speaking, Fu Wuqu noticed that Guo Ren's expression was not very pleasant and immediately realized that he had misspoke and inadvertently included the Guo family. He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."

Guo Ming sensed something different in Fu Wuqu's words and said, "Master Fu, do you mean Wang Xingyu is very skilled at gambling?"

Fu Wuqu shook his head and said, "He may not understand gambling at all, but that doesn't mean he can't become the best gambler in the world. For example, his illusion magic can make his opponents see the wrong cards, or his opponents can suddenly die during the game, or he can see through their cards. Judging from Mr. Guo's description, Mr. Wang should be able to see through their cards. Otherwise, how could he have won two games in the same way so coincidentally?"

Guo Ren said incredulously, "If Wang Xingyu can see through everyone's cards, why is he still unknown in the gambling world?"

Fu Wuqu smiled and said, "President Guo, Shenlong wouldn't lower himself to gamble with a bunch of ants. This incident involves the Lin family, where his wife lives, which is why Mr. Wang had to intervene. Otherwise, you would never have seen him at the casino, even though the casino is practically his ATM."

Guo Ren fell silent, his face unusually grim.

Guo Mingdao said, "Master Fu, in your opinion, what should our Guo family do?"

Fu Wuqu solemnly said, "Old Guo, you'd better go to Xingyun City immediately to visit Mr. Wang, apologize to him, and ask for his forgiveness."

"That's impossible."

Guo Ren suddenly stood up, his face flushed.

This was caused by Fu Wuqu's anger.

The old man is almost eighty years old, and Fu Wuqu actually asked him to bow down and apologize to Wang Xingyu. It's simply outrageous.

Guo Ming, however, remained much calmer and asked, "Why?"

Fu Wuqu revealed a hint of longing and said, "Mr. Wang's cultivation is profound, and his magical power is unbelievably strong. Even that invincible Onmyoji from Japan died at his hands. Let alone your Guo family, even the four major families of Hong Kong Island are nothing more than ants in his eyes. If he wants to, he can take the lives of all of you at any time. Mr. Guo Yi is a prime example."

At this point, he looked at Guo Ren and said, "Mr. Guo, you and countless other tycoons were present at the time. Did any of you figure out how Mr. Guo Jun and Mr. Guo Yi got into trouble?"

Guo Ren sat back down in his chair and said, "No."

Fu Wuqu said, "If he casts a spell on you from a distance, do you think you can dodge it? This time, it's clear that Mr. Wang is leaving you some room to maneuver."

Guo Mingdao said, "Master Fu, are you also unable to cure him?"

Fu Wuqu gave a bitter smile and said, "How can a firefly's flame compete with the bright moon? Let alone me, even if you gathered all the sorcerers in the world, you probably wouldn't be a match for Mr. Wang. Elder Guo, don't try to be brave. No martial artist or sorcerer dares to oppose Mr. Wang. Your chances of winning are basically zero."

Guo Ming smiled wryly and said, "Is he really that good?"

Fu Wuqu said in a deep voice, "There are reports that Wei Yingfeng of Annan is his man."

Guo Ming was visibly shaken.

Recently, the most talked-about place in the world is not the United States, nor the Middle East, but Annam.

The president of Annam was shot dead, and many people say that Wei Yingfeng was the one who did it.

Forced into a corner, Wei Yingfeng pointed to the sky in the video and swore that the other party's death had nothing to do with him.

Indeed, the one who killed the President of Annam was the assassin Hades from the United States, and the person who hired him was Wang Xingyu. It really had nothing to do with Wei Yingfeng.

Currently, the Annamite government army is in chaos.

They each supported their own people who wanted to take the presidency of Annam.

Some generals even wanted to turn Annam into a military government and make themselves the ruler.

Previously, the Annam government had formulated a plan to annex various warlords and achieve unification, but now, with the death of the Annam president, this plan has been shelved.

With the threat of government troops gone, Wei Yingfeng immediately began a frantic struggle to seize territory.

In just one week, his territory expanded by a third, and many troops surrendered to him almost entirely.

The other two warlords, Juexin'an and Dengtu, also benefited greatly.

Now their territories are adjacent, and each side has deployed its troops, so none of them dare to make a move.

For Wei Yingfeng, his geographical location is the best.

Because it does not border the most powerful government forces, while the other two must divide their forces to defend against the government forces' advance.

Even though things were in complete chaos there, they dared not relax for a moment.

If such a powerful warlord is truly Wang Xingyu's man, then one can only imagine how powerful Wang Xingyu is.

At the very least, the Guo family is absolutely incapable of competing with Wang Xingyu.

The next morning, Guo Ming and Guo Ren brought the unconscious Guo Yi into the Lin family villa and met Lin Jianhao.

After exchanging pleasantries, Guo Ming asked, "Mr. Lin, is Mr. Wang not here? I would like to apologize to him in person."

Lin Jianhao said helplessly, "I called Xingyu, and he said that since you have come to Xingyun City in person, which shows the Guo family's sincerity, his business with the Guo family is over."

"As for apologies or anything like that, there's no need for that."

Guo Ming frowned and said, "You mean Mr. Wang is not prepared to meet with us today?"

Lin Jianhao sighed and said, "Mr. Guo, I know you are very angry and feel slighted, but I really have no choice. I can't stop him from seeing the people he wants to see. And I can't force him to come and meet with the people he doesn't want to see."

"Hehe, if you'll find this laughable, even I wouldn't dare offend this incredibly powerful grandson-in-law."

Guo Ming said, "It's not that I necessarily want to see him. The main thing is that my son, Guo Yi, is currently in a coma. A master of magic said that his life soul and celestial soul are entangled, and only Mr. Wang can save him."

Lin Jianhao took out a box, pulled out a yellow talisman, and said, "Elder Guo, this was sent by Xingyu. Stick it on Mr. Guo Yi's forehead, and he will wake up."

"Very good."

Guo Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the talisman and handed it to Guo Ren, who had been silent all along.

Guo Ren immediately walked out of the hall.

They came to visit Lin Jianhao and apologized to Wang Xingyu. It was really inappropriate to bring the unconscious Guo Yi in, so they arranged for him to stay in a nanny van outside.

Five minutes later, Guo Ren returned with Guo Yi.

Guo Ming was overjoyed and asked, "Ayi, are you alright?"

Guo Yi shook his head and said, "Dad, I'm fine."

He had learned everything from Guo Ren and felt a deep-seated fear of Wang Xingyu, who could easily kill him.

As the second master of the Guo family, Guo Yi has never lived a full life and doesn't want to leave this colorful world.

Guo Ming said, "Mr. Lin, thank you very much. May I speak with Mr. Wang?"

Lin Jianhao thought for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed Wang Xingyu's number.

"Xingyu, Mr. Guo Yi has woken up and wants to speak with you."

A cheerful voice came from the other side.

"Okay. Sir, please turn on the speakerphone."

Lin Jianhao pressed the speakerphone button.

"Hello, Mr. Guo, I am Wang Xingyu."

"Mr. Wang, thank you so much for being willing to treat my son."

"The problem with Mr. Guo Yi was originally my fault, and I bear the responsibility. Elder Guo, I am a Taoist practitioner, and fame and fortune are like fleeting clouds to me. I do not wish to be an enemy of anyone, including the Guo family. The reason I attacked Mr. Guo Yi was mainly to put on a show for Mr. Guo Ren. After I won the bet, Mr. Guo Ren's murderous intent towards me became extremely intense, and I needed to prove with facts that I was capable of protecting myself. Please forgive my rudeness."

Guo Ming glared at Guo Ren and said, "Mr. Wang, thank you for your frankness. All three bets were fair and just, and our Guo family is willing to accept the consequences of our bets. Ren's dissatisfaction with you shows that his manners and magnanimity are not yet fully developed. I will properly train him in the future."

Guo Ren spoke loudly into the phone, "If you're wrong, admit it; if you're going to be punished, stand up straight. Mr. Wang, my father has already reprimanded me, and it was all my fault. I sincerely apologize to you."

Wang Xingyu chuckled and said, "You flatter me. Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo, from now on, let's call it even, how about it?"

Guo Ming said, "Okay. Mr. Wang, can we meet? I really want to talk to you."

Wang Xingyu said, "I'm sorry, I have some business to attend to back home and I'm on my way back. It wasn't that I intentionally wanted to avoid you."

Guo Ming responded with an "Oh," and said, "It's alright, you go ahead with your work."

After hanging up the phone, Guo Ming praised, "He's tactful, resourceful, and uses both soft and hard tactics. Mr. Lin, your grandson-in-law is truly remarkable."

Lin Jianhao sighed and said, "It's a pity that his surname is Wang, not Lin. Otherwise, the Lin Group wouldn't have ended up like this today."

......

Wang Xingyu did not deceive Guo Ming; he did indeed go back to his hometown to visit his grandfather and grandmother.

The reason is that the government is building a high-speed railway, which needs to pass through the ancestral graves of the Wang family.

The old man certainly didn't want to ruin his family's feng shui, but there was nothing he could do. Everyone around had signed the consent form, and the old man couldn't fight against the powerful. He could only gather the Wang family members together to discuss the relocation of the grave.

"Xiaofeng, how's your live-streaming company doing?"

"I asked Wang Xingyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat."

As one of only two members of the third generation of the Wang family, Wang Yuefeng was naturally included in the old man's call.

"Our company currently has three online celebrities. The most popular one is Li Qingqing, whose sales in a single live stream exceeded 50 million yuan. The other two are around 7 to 8 million yuan."

"Li Qingqing? That name sounds familiar. Was your argument with someone at the karaoke bar about her?"

"Yes."

Wang Xingyu gave him a playful look and asked, "Is there any possibility between you two?"

Wang Yuefeng blushed and said helplessly, "I don't know."

Wang Xingyu smiled and said, "It seems you like her, right?"

Wang Yuefeng was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes. I want to pursue her, but I'm a little lacking in confidence. Although Qingqing comes from a small county, she's beautiful, has a good temperament, and is eloquent. Her father is the deputy county head, and her mother is the vice principal of a middle school, while I'm just a peasant..."

"Shut up."

Wang Xingyu rudely interrupted him, scolding, "The most useless men in the world have three characteristics: first, they're timid in front of important people; second, they're awkward in big situations; and third, they feel inferior in front of beautiful women. You must be worth tens of millions now, right? Becoming a billionaire within a year shouldn't be difficult. Tell me, what do you have to be inferior about?"

"No matter how well-off Li Qingqing's family is, she is still your subordinate. Without your company, she wouldn't have become the nationally famous internet celebrity she is today."

"Besides, don't you still have me as your cousin? Putting aside everything else, I can still come up with a sum of money of 10 or 20 billion."

"How many companies nationwide can come up with tens of billions of yuan in working capital? Go and check."

Wang Yuefeng pursed his lips and said, "Brother, do you mean I should go after her?"

Wang Xingyu said, "If you like him, then go for it. Your second uncle and aunt are waiting to hold their grandson."

Wang Yuefeng nodded and said, "I will put it into action once I return to Xingyun City."

Wang Xingyu didn't know much about the etiquette surrounding relocating graves.

But when it comes to whether the ancestral graves have good or bad feng shui, he is an expert in that area.

After Wang Xingyu's calculations, the Wang family's ancestral graves were eventually moved to a location with the best feng shui in Qingping Mountain.
