My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 87 - 086 The Curtain Falls
This silly move didn’t surprise Lu Wu at all.
This guy had been a particular headache for Lu Wu back in Fucheng, one whom Lu Wu both loved and hated.
He belonged to that kind of person who was especially diligent, but with a particularly simple mind that was slow to understand and very rigid.
Despite having more knowledge than others, he just couldn’t apply it flexibly.
Teaching him was always more difficult than others, but since Lu Wu coveted his knowledge, he hadn’t skimped on giving him private lessons.
He knew him very well and knew that causing such a farce was normal for him.
Lu Wu had no other choice but to roughly explain the situation to him.
When this silly fellow finally understood what was happening, he was shocked.
"What? Mr. Lu, he spent 5 million to get your guidance for one year and he still finds it expensive? And even thinks you’re a swindler?"
Lu Wu nodded his head.

His deal with Hao Zhijian wasn’t a one-off transaction; that 5 million was for a year’s guarantee.
Understanding this, the silly man couldn’t sit still and immediately rushed to Hao Zhijian, yanking him to his feet.
"Master Wang, what... what are you trying to do?"
Hao Zhijian was scared out of his wits, thinking the silly man was going to hit him.
But that wasn’t the case. Wang Dashan’s eyes lit up, and he pulled out a bank card and stuffed it into his chest: "Here’s 10 million, the password is the last six digits of the account number. Please transfer your contract with Mr. Lu to me!"
The silly man had finally gotten wise for once.
10 million for almost a year of private tutoring from Mr. Lu was too good a deal for him, practically a huge windfall.
As for Hao Zhijian, he was completely dumbfounded.
He was a bit unclear about the situation.
While he was confused, the audience and the organizers of the Quancheng Cup certainly were not.
Seeing a Professional Cultivator so eager, it was clear that Hao Zhijian hadn’t lost out on the so-called 8 million deal; he may have even made a large profit.
But that was in the past, and now with this commotion, he probably wouldn’t get anything.
There, Hao Zhijian was still befuddled, while Wang Dashan was still pushing, and Lu Wu began to speak.
"Uncle Wang, stop pushing, I’ll handle this myself."
With that, Lu Wu made a call to Li Kai in front of everyone, instructing him to refund the full 8 million Yuan that had been received from Hao Zhijian back to the Hao Family.
Out of the 8 million, Lu Wu had spent one to two hundred thousand, which meant Li Kai had to cover that amount. However, Li Kai didn’t say a word and immediately returned the money to Hao Zhijian’s father’s account.
Of course, Lu Wu was magnanimous, but how could he let this go?
"The money has already been returned to you. Our transaction is now concluded.
However, your public defamation of me and my boss today is something I do not intend to let slide. I’ll be reporting this to the Cultivation Master Professional Center for arbitration.
If you can’t provide satisfactory compensation for this matter, it’s far from over!"
At this point, Hao Zhijian was still bewildered and had no idea what Lu Wu’s words implied.
Lu Wu had no obligation to explain and, after dropping that statement, he turned to Wang Dashan.
"Uncle Wang, I’m heading to Uncle Li’s store. Do you want to come along?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Wang Dashan nodded frantically and quickly followed Lu Wu, leaving the competition venue.
It’s worth noting that before Lu Wu left, he paused, turned to look at the big screen at the racecourse, then glanced at the organizers’ top brass.
He didn’t say any superfluous words, just looked for a few seconds, then strode away.
Yet it was those few seconds that made the organizers’ executives sweat profusely.
Though they weren’t clear on the situation yet.
But they weren’t deaf; they had heard what Wang Dashan said.
Lu Wu was highly regarded by the higher-ups of the Fucheng Cultivation Center, with dozens of Professional Cultivator disciples under his command, and was a superstar among Cultivators.
While he might not be at Ye Qingxue’s level,
They certainly wouldn’t provoke Lu Wu, a talent destined for a bright future, over small gains.
Lu Wu’s final action made it clear that he was aware of the role the organizers had played in aggravating the situation.
This was especially troubling for the organizers.
Damn it, they just couldn’t understand how Quan City had suddenly produced two such tigers, and they had to face both of them!
But for the organizers, it was still manageable.
Painful, yes, but only a headache.
For Hao Zhijian, or rather the Hao Family, the matter was not so easily resolved.
Take Hao Renjie, Hao Zhijian’s father, for example.
At the time of the incident, he was busy with business and couldn’t make it over. In the middle of his business dealings, he suddenly received a notification of an 8 million transfer.
He checked his phone and saw it was from Li Kai’s side.
At first, he didn’t pay much attention, thinking Wang Dashan had been impressive, tearing Li Kai apart and getting the 8 million back easily.
He even called Wang Dashan to express his gratitude right away and was planning to invite Wang Dashan for a meal.
However, Wang Dashan’s attitude was very cold, and he hung up after a few perfunctory words.
This puzzled Hao Renjie.
What was the situation? Did the Master think they didn’t know how to reciprocate?
Yes, he thought maybe that was it. Giving something back was proper, considering it was also an opportunity to build ties with a Professional Cultivator.
Although Wang Dashan had just become a Professional Cultivator, no matter what, associating with one was excellent for them.
But his illusion was soon shattered!
Hao Zhijian’s call came quickly.
"Son, well done. I was planning to deal with Li Kai after your competition, but to my surprise, you resolved this matter yourself, well done, I’m very satisfied!"
Hao Renjie was thrilled to hear from Hao Zhijian.
But Hao Zhijian was unusually silent on the phone.
A father knows his son best, and Hao Renjie quickly sensed that something was off and urgently asked, "What happened?"
As soon as Hao Renjie asked, Hao Zhijian’s emotions collapsed completely and he burst into tears with a ’wah’, sobbing.
And amidst his sobs, he relayed every detail of what had transpired that day.
Starting from being utterly defeated, then Lu Wu stepping in.
To his last hysterical outrage, along with Wang Dashan’s attitude towards Lu Wu, and everything Wang Dashan had implied.
Finally, Hao Zhijian did not forget to repeat Lu Wu’s parting words.
Listening to Hao Zhijian’s account on the phone,
Hao Renjie’s expression switched from joy to anger, from anger to seriousness, from seriousness to pallor.
Especially when he heard the final sentence and realized that Lu Wu was going to the Professional Training Center to file a complaint against them, Hao Renjie could barely hold onto his phone.
