Chapter 122 Where does he live?
Wu Lun was puzzled by Luo Tian's words.
They were just talking about apologies, how did the conversation suddenly shift to Manager Wu?
However, out of fear of Luo Tian, Wu Lun answered truthfully:
"Manager Wu is an illegitimate son of a collateral branch of our Wu family. After demonstrating his potential, he was promoted to the position of the family's chief steward by the faction behind him and was granted the right to intermarry within the family."
Manager Wu's wife is also a member of the Wu family, but because Manager Wu's fanatical pursuit of power led him to be uninterested in matters of the heart, he has no direct descendants.
"But... in terms of blood relations, Manager Wu's wife's older brother has a son, who can also be considered Manager Wu's nephew."
Apart from that, they basically had no descendants.
Luo Tian frowned slightly, recalling the words of that sage, and wondered whether this level of behavior truly constituted "the originator having no descendants."
However, Luo Tian soon no longer needed to worry about this small matter.
At the end of the corridor in front of the private room, a series of disordered footsteps sounded, followed by an arrogant voice echoing through the corridor.
"What a rare guest! I never expected that Young Master Wu Lun would come to a small place like ours."
As the hurried footsteps approached, Luo Tian saw a handsome young man in a white suit.
The young man exuded an air of nobility; his white suit, paired with his well-proportioned physique, gave him the appearance of a refined gentleman.
But when the gaze shifted to his face, the undisguised arrogance in his pale blue eyes ruined his overall demeanor.
It seems that in his eyes, everyone is someone he can look down upon.
Upon hearing the words of the young man in the white suit, Wu Lun's smile faded slightly, but he still replied:
“Cousin Wu Yu, you’re wrong. As the Wu family’s inspector, it’s my duty to inspect the security of the Wu family’s assets.”
Why is my cousin Wu Yu so unwelcoming to me? Could it be that he's up to something shady?
Wu Yu snorted coldly and said without any politeness:
"The Wu family isn't just your direct line. This is the territory of our collateral branch. If you want to conduct inspections, you should go back to your own territory!"
In a typical aristocratic family, the direct line holds absolute power, while the collateral line is mostly just a figurehead.
However, this was not the case for the Wu family of Yin Kong. In order to develop the potential of the Wu family, one of the ancestors of the Wu family granted a lot of power to the collateral branches.
With the support of power and resources, the collateral branches of the Wu family rose rapidly, even suppressing the direct line to some extent.
However, the direct line has the right to inherit the title of Earl of Yin Kong. Everything the Wu family has done depends on the noble title, so the status of the collateral line is ultimately inferior to that of the direct line.
However, in recent decades, the collateral branches have begun to contact the Marquis of Dixing, one of the seven marquises, intending to separate the Wu family and establish their own noble lineage.
On the surface, a count and a marquis are only one rank apart, but Earl Yin Kong is just a new nobleman and is not even qualified to enter the noble council. The gap between him and Marquis Di Xing is completely incomprehensible.
With the powerful Emperor Star Marquis as their backing, the collateral branches of the Wu family naturally do not take the title of Earl of Yin Kong seriously, and their actions have become increasingly unscrupulous. To this day, they completely disregard Wu Lun, the first heir to the Earl.
Wu Lun frowned, but ultimately did not speak again.
Yin Kong Entertainment Group is the pillar industry of the Wu family, and most of it is controlled by the collateral branches of the Wu family. As the future Earl of Yin Kong, he really doesn't have as much say in Yin Kong Entertainment Group as Wu Yuzhong in front of him.
Seeing that Wu Lun hadn't finished speaking, Wu Yu let out a cold laugh and then turned his gaze to Luo Tian in front of him.
In fact, Wu Yu already knew about Luo Tian, and the source of that knowledge was none other than Mo Hun, the eldest son of the Marquis of Dixing, who was said to have almost become the regent.
As the eldest son of the Marquis of Dixing and one of the future rulers of the vast noble system, Mo Hun should have enjoyed boundless glory.
However, after the night of carnage instigated by Yin Qianyu, Mo Hun was so terrified by that princess that he developed a psychological trauma.
He wanted revenge, but without truly wielding the power of the Emperor Star Marquis, he lacked the ability to do so. Therefore, he could only target what he considered his rival in love—Luo Tian.
He wanted to pursue Yin Qianyu, but was warned by Yin Qianyu for slaughtering the Emperor Star Marquis's mansion.
Luo Tian, this pretty boy, easily won Yin Qianyu's favor and even moved into the Sun King's Palace, which naturally drove Mo Hun crazy with jealousy.
However, because Yin Qianyu is currently enjoying great popularity, Mo Hun, who is constantly monitored by the Dark Sun Guard, dares not do anything out of line.
After learning that Mo Hun was dissatisfied with Luo Tian, Wu Yu had been trying to cause trouble for Luo Tian in order to curry favor with this heir to the Emperor Star Marquis.
Manager Wu's actions towards Luo Tian were both at his behest and with the approval of Mo Hun, the heir to the Emperor Star Marquis.
However, Manager Wu failed to obtain the crucial evidence, much to Mo Hun's disappointment.
Furthermore, the fact that his loyal followers publicly opposed such underhanded tactics led to the desperate measures he took after abandoning Manager Wu.
Wu Yu initially had an indifferent attitude towards this matter and did not intend to provoke Luo Tian again.
But now Wu Lun has forced the captain of his extraordinary team to his death and apologized to Luo Tian on behalf of the Wu family, which makes Wu Yu somewhat unhappy.
In Wu Yu's view, Luo Tian had already been targeted by the eldest son of the Marquis of Dixing.
Even though Luo Tian is currently favored by the Eldest Princess, once the war in the Dark Region ends and the Eldest Princess herself is in danger, she will naturally be unable to protect Luo Tian anymore.
Even if Luo Tianchong had some considerable strength after losing the protection of the eldest princess, what could a powerful figure like Emperor Star Marquis do against him, even if he was as strong as a demigod?
Luo Tian's fate was sealed; Wu Lun's actions were entirely a means to suppress collateral relatives under Luo Tian's name.
After watching Luo Tian for a while, Wu Yu did not utter any provocation or make any other move.
The other party is backed by the eldest princess, so there's no need for him to directly provoke her. Doing so would lower his status and give others ammunition against him.
With his gaze fixed on the private room, Wu Yu spoke in a deep voice:
"As idol artists, you don't know how to behave properly and associate with people of low status. It's an insult to your status!"
The concert is cancelled. We'll only resume the concert after you realize your mistake, write a written apology, and film a video warning fans not to associate with other undesirable individuals!
After saying that, Wu Yu didn't even glance at Luo Tian before striding out of the concert hall.
Inside the private room, the idol girls who had suffered an undeserved disaster were dumbfounded, and many of them began to have slightly red eyes and were on the verge of tears.
Standing still, Luo Tian watched the other person's departing figure with narrowed eyes.
"Who is he?"
Wu Lun hesitated for a moment, but still answered seriously:
"He is Wu Yu, and can be considered the future controller of the collateral branch of the Wu family."
He paused slightly, then added another sentence.
"He is also Manager Wu's nephew."
Luo Tian suddenly realized something.
After nodding slightly, Luo Tian looked at Wu Jing very seriously:
"Where does this guy named Wu Yu live?"

Chapter 123 No one can stop a dog from smelling experience!
Although Wu Lun felt that Luo Tian seemed to have ulterior motives, he still told Luo Tian about the manor area where the collateral branches of the Wu family lived, which was not a secret.
Watching Luo Tian stride away from the place, Wu Lun's eyes gleamed with an indescribable light.
The main reason he was able to humble himself and apologize to Luo Tian, his "male concubine," was that the collateral branch of the Wu family had already put the direct line in a desperate situation by getting in touch with the Marquis of Dixing.
The Wu family's direct line must find a stable backer in order to regain control of the entire Sound Control Group; otherwise, the Sound Control Group will completely fall into the hands of the collateral branches.
However, within the current aristocratic system, no one would be willing to offend the powerful Emperor Star Marquis for the sake of a mere Wu family, not even the Marquis of Hanhai, who has always been at odds with the Emperor Star Marquis.
After all, in the eyes of those truly powerful and wealthy people, dimensional colonization and the path to godhood are what truly attract them. The little wealth that the Wu family possesses is something they can easily acquire and is insignificant to them.
After witnessing Luo Tian's extraordinary abilities, Wu Lun suddenly realized that the princess was not a foolish person who had been bewitched by so-called "male concubines".
Although in the war in the Underdark, the princess is currently at a disadvantage and seems to be on the verge of collapse.
But no one will forget the powerful being who once made a move at the Third Research Institute, instantly killing the divine incarnation of the God of Space.
With that person as a trump card, this princess may still have a chance to turn the tide.
It was with these considerations in mind that Wu Lun took the initiative to apologize to Luo Tian in a humble manner, hoping to take this opportunity to get in touch with the princess.
It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but it's not so simple to offer charcoal in the snow.
With this thought in mind, Wu Lun glanced at the many young female idols in the private room and said:
"Wu Yu previously mentioned that the punishment would be postponed for a while, and then discussed at a later group meeting."
A middle-aged man who appeared to be a high-ranking executive from YinKong Entertainment Group, who had accompanied Wu Yu, changed his expression and said somewhat awkwardly:
"Young Master, this matter was personally ordered by Young Master Wu Yu, I..."
"What, my words no longer carry any weight with you?"
Wu Lun's expression suddenly turned cold, and behind him, two extraordinary individuals at the Saint Realm stepped forward, their powerful aura pressing down on the middle-aged executive.
The middle-aged executive felt as if a mountain was weighing on his back, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Young Master, that's absolutely not what I meant! I had no intention of offending you!"
He kept uttering fearful and uneasy words, and soon he was drenched in sweat.
Although the Wu family's collateral branch controls most of the YinKong Entertainment Group and is therefore entitled to disregard Wu Lun, this does not mean that others are the same.
Including him and Captain He, one a high-ranking executive of the group and the other a captain of an extraordinary team, they seemed to have high status, but in reality they were just dogs kept by the Wu family.
Wu Lun could take his life with just a word.
Even if Wu Yu knew about this, he would never help him take revenge on Wu Lun. At most, he would use this incident to force Wu Lun to compromise when he was trying to get something.
In the eyes of the nobles, these people were nothing more than replaceable tools.
Wu Lun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"In that case, you should know what you need to do."
After saying that, Wu Lun turned his head and continued to look in the direction where Luo Tian had left, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Anyway, this is just a temporary delay. If Wu Yu really wants to use this method to embarrass Luo Tian, there's nothing he can do if he forces it through at the group meeting.
"It can be considered as forming a good connection!"
After speaking, the future Earl of Yin Kong turned and left with two saintly attendants.
