As soon as he arrived, Wang Wei realized he couldn't sense Wu Hong's aura. "Is she still with Maitreya? I guess I'll make myself comfortable before she returns," he muttered. He was about to find their place to relax and wait when two people suddenly appeared before him.
"Who dares intrude on our continent?" a woman said.
"Do you know who you are offending?" said a man.
Wang Wei looked at them. "You're Song Luli and Song Jiang?"
"How do you know us?" Song Jiang asked.
"Oh, you're the one the master talked about," his sister added.
"So, it's him." Song Jiang looked at him up and down as if he were a predator scrutinizing its prey.
"You're handsome enough, so I could understand why the master would like you, but why are you so young?" Song Luli asked.
"Plus, aren't you a little too weak to be the master's husband?" Song Jiang asked.
Wang Wei was momentarily speechless. "Love has no boundaries or limitations of age or cultivation level."
"That sounds like something a pervert would say," Song Luli said, baffling him even more.
"Are you a pervert?" Song Jiang asked.
"I think he is. Look at his eyes. It's the eyes of someone who has some terrible thoughts in his mind," Song Luli added.
"Do you think the Master knows? Maybe we should warn her?"
"She's usually good at discerning people. Maybe she's been blinded by love."
"We can't allow her to marry a pervert," Song Jiang said.
"Don't worry, she will see him for who he is eventually. However, we can't meddle, or she'll think we are trying to hinder her happiness."
"You have a point. But I feel bad how she'll be with a pervert for such a long time before he sees him for who he is."
Song Luli sighed deeply, her voice full of melancholy. "Even the master cannot escape the curse known as love. Don't worry, we will be beside her once the perv is gone."
"Are you guys done?" Wang Wei asked, still baffled. Wu Hong warned him about the playful nature of her disciples, but this went beyond playful.
"What do you mean by done?" Song Luli asked. "I–"
"Alright, it's my time now to speak," Wang Wei raised his hand. "First of all, you should address me as Uncle-Master."
"What?"
"You must be out of your mind," Song Jiang sneered.
"As your master's future husband, isn't that my official title?" His words immediately made them speechless. He was right. "I'm not a person who cares about hierarchy and status, so I couldn't care how you address me, but unfortunately, you offended me. So, go ahead, address me properly."
Song Luli and Song Jiang's lips twitched. They glanced at each other before looking back at Wang Wei. Their eyes were firm, and their mouths even firmer.
"Rebels, aren't you? My favorite pastime is to break rebellions spirits," Wang Wei chuckled as a bamboo stick slowly materialized on his palm. "In my clan, there is this ancestral bamboo that can discipline all the members of the Wang Clan as long as it's in the ancestor's hands.
"The one in my hand is a projection and modified based on my status as your Uncle-Master. In other words, I can beat you up, and you can do nothing about it. Of course, I encourage you to resist so I can tell your master, and she can truly punish you."
The twin's face changed. "Is there a need for you to do this?" Song Luli asked.
"Uncle-Master, there is no need for such humiliation," Song Jiang added.
"Traitor, why are you calling him that?" Song Luli snapped.
"Stupid. Do you really want to be beaten? We will never have the face to stand before him from now on."
"What happened to our solidarity?" Song Luli sneered.
"Enough, my little nephews," Wang Wei said. "This beating is inevitable. However, I'll be more lenient toward you since you call me Uncle-Master."
"T-Thank you," Song Jiang said with a wry smile. Meanwhile, Song Luli stared at him as if her eyes were daggers.
"As for you? Well, the more rebellious you are, the more I'll enjoy myself." Wang Wei rushed over, and the screams echoed in the room. The twins soon proved to be faster than he, but it didn't matter. The bamboo will hit its target as long as Wang Wei swings. Half an hour later, they knelt before Wang Wei with bruises on their faces.
