Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1777: Chapter 738: Deserving Execution

Dongxuan Star Realm, above Han State City, the void shimmered slightly as Xu Jin’s figure appeared, having arrived through continuous teleportation.

Although Wu Bei died in battle during the selection at the peak, he didn’t leave much wealth behind; the best treasure was the Seven-Star Spiritual Treasure. But, truth be told, Wu Bei’s family is not weak.

Within Han State City, it is also a prestigious family, and quite large.

Based on Zhu Linxiao’s investigation, Wu Bei’s family had an ancestor who was a Little Star Monarch. After the family branched out, it declined, and the descendants took it upon themselves to revive their ancestor’s glory.

Currently, the highest Cultivation Level in the entire clan belongs to the Clan Leader Wu Zheng, at the Peak of the Ninth Rank.

It’s said that after failing to break through to Little Star Monarch, he remained within the family, educating and nurturing the younger generation.

Within the entire family, including the deceased Wu Bei, there are seven Ninth Tier Experts.

However, Wu Bei was the youngest Ninth Tier Expert in the family, so he was sent to the selection peak in hopes of becoming a Dao Viscount and restoring the family’s honor.

The other six Ninth Tiers, including the Clan Leader, are relatively older.

As for Wu Bei, he was the only son of the family. His father had already died in battle; he only had his mother, his wife, and two children.

Despite being the youngest Ninth Tier in the Wu Family in Han State, he was almost fifty years old.

Due to poverty at home, he married at over thirty, and now his two children are fifteen and thirteen.

According to Wu Bei’s will, although his belongings aren’t much, the three Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures are somewhat valuable, all divided into three parts by Wu Bei.

One part to repay the family, one left for his children and wife, and the last for his elderly mother’s retirement.

This distribution shows he’s a man of sentiment and justice, considering everyone’s needs.

Unfortunately, he died in battle.

After entering Han State City, Xu Jin followed Zhu Linxiao’s information, inquired all along, and found Wu Bei’s home.

It’s a two-entry courtyard, quite decent.

In fact, before this, Wu Bei, as the youngest Ninth Tier in the family, was in his prime, enjoying good treatment.

He had a five-entry grand courtyard, with many servants at home.

However, after the selection battle ended and news of Wu Bei’s death reached the family, with no remains, they held a memorial, placing his tablet in the ancestral hall.

One month after the memorial service, the family ordered that the grand courtyard where Wu Bei’s wife and children lived, provided by the clan, must be vacated.

Of course, the Wu Family isn’t entirely heartless.

They exchanged it for a two-entry small courtyard for them.

Actually, in Xu Jin’s view, it’s quite alright.

For a widow and children, it’s safer this way.

Moreover, this is human nature.

Even if Xu Jin tries to argue for a grand courtyard now, it won’t do much good.

So Xu Jin didn’t bother much, found Wu Bei’s home, and went straight to visit.

"May I ask, who are you looking for?" The old servant who opened the door eyed Xu Jin warily.

"Please report to Mrs. Wu that Wu Bei’s close friend is visiting."

After a few moments, an elderly woman, with half-white hair meticulously combed and wrapped in a cloth, personally welcomed Xu Jin inside. A woman in her thirties, still charming, followed, with two half-grown children, to greet Xu Jin with Mrs. Wu.

Wu Bei had died in battle for over half a year, with no news. Now, with a close friend visiting, they had some thoughts.

With just a few words, Xu Jin explained the circumstances of Wu Bei’s death and took out Wu Bei’s will. The woman took a glance and immediately embraced the two children, crying uncontrollably.

Although a memorial had been held once.

But now, facing the true news of his death, it’s naturally different.

Mrs. Wu carefully finished reading the will, her eyes trembling slightly, she whispered, "Thank you, Young Master Xu, for bringing my son’s will. May I ask if my son’s body is intact?"

"No intact body."

The elderly woman’s expression trembled, "Young Master Xu, did my son suffer?"

"That he didn’t. When Mr. Wu passed, only the Primordial Spirit Embryo remained, after expressing his final words, the Primordial Spirit Embryo shattered and he died. This is part of his belongings."

During the conversation, Xu Jin took out the two portions of belongings that Wu Bei had divided long ago and handed them personally to Mrs. Wu, explaining the situation, then requested Mrs. Wu to verify the amount according to Wu Bei’s will.

After verification, Mrs. Wu suddenly stood up, saluted towards Xu Jin, and said, "Our benefactor is magnanimous. The will is my son’s handwriting, and none of the listed belongings are missing. Please accept our gratitude!"

"Xu’er, Yiyi, Ming Xia, come with me to kneel and thank our benefactor!"

Xu Jin quickly supported Mrs. Wu, while he accepted the grand salute from Wu Bei’s wife and two children.

This salute, he deserved!

"Madam, Wu Bei’s will mentioned there is a portion of belongings to be given to the clan. Madam, perhaps you could accompany me to hand them over, also fulfilling Mr. Wu’s wishes and righteousness," Xu Jin said.

"This is only right," Mrs. Wu agreed readily.

This relieved Xu Jin; once this last piece of belongings is handed over, his Great Dao Oath will be fulfilled.

As for Bixuan True Monarch Mansion’s spying, he wasn’t worried.

He teleported continuously through space, indeed not many people could keep track of him.

Just as Xu Jin was about to head to the family with Mrs. Wu, she once again walked to the two children, directly bringing them to kneel and bow deeply towards Xu Jin.

Xu Jin wanted to lift them up, but Mrs. Wu was incredibly resolute.

"Young Master Xu, it’s not that I am shameless, nowadays I can only put aside this old face and plead for Young Master Xu to save my children," Mrs. Wu said.

"Save?" Xu Jin was somewhat confused.

"Young Master Xu, children carrying gold in a busy city, attracts death indeed!"
