Wu Yi ,The Prodigy

Over the next few weeks, Yi was relocated to live in the main residence, his name was officially changed to Wu Yi and this new name was added to he family registry.

Wu Yi lived with this new family of his and each of them treated him with love and respect.No one sneered at him and all records of him having been a slave in the spirit mine were erased. New clothes were bought for him and masters regarding subjects such as writing, reading, archery, horse riding and the like were brought in to teach him.

Wu Yi understood the reason for all this. The other factions in the city were looking for any evidence of a flaw in the story weaved by Yi and the supervisor.

Wu Yi was no longer required to serve as a servant and he was even allowed to sit at the dining table with the other family members.

Wu Yi was wise enough to know that this good treatment would not last. Once the other factions stopped looking at the Wu family so closely, it would mean the end of his good life.

For this reason, he began making a few plans.

Since all records of him having been a slave were destroyed by the supervisor and he had even claimed that Wu Yi was his firstborn son, this meant that Wu Yi could escape and would not be hunted by the officials as a runaway slave. He began saving money secretly and learning as much as he could about the outside world from the masters supervisor Wu had so generously provided.

In the calm environment inside the mansion. Wu Yi focused on his studies as he plotted his escape in relative peace and calm.

After a few weeks, he was able to save a few gold coins that he used to pay off Old Man Ma's debts to the Wu family. He released the old man who left in tears. Not tears of joy or happiness, but tears of pain.Pain that he was leaving Wu Yi behind in the Wu mansion.

With the only person he cared about at the mansion having left the town, Wu Yi was now free to go about his business without anything holding him back.

 TWO YEARS LATER

"Have you heard ?" asked a young girl in a famous restaurant in the town.

"What?" asked her friend.

The young girl shook her head at her friend's ignorance.

"Did you hear? Young master Wu Yi won the poetry competition again," said the girl, her eyes misty with young love. Her friend rolled her eyes. "That's old news. He won the archery competition yesterday. Even his brother Wu Chen couldn't beat him," she said with pride. Their conversation sparked a discussion in the restaurant, with everyone sharing Wu Yi's many impressive accomplishments. It seemed that his feats could be listed from dusk till dawn.

Inside the restaurant, there was a young man covered in black robes. He sat alone in the corner listening to the heated conversation. Whenever a new person joined the conversation and inevitably said something awesome about Wu Yi, the young man seethed with rage. His fists were clenched and his brows were squeezed together in rage.

His brown eyes were blazing with anger.

"Young master Wu Yi is the number one bachelor in the town .He is so handsome and as the first born son of supervisor Wu,he will inherit the family wealth becoming the wealthiest person in the town." said another infatuated young miss. These words were the final straw for the hidden figure in the corner. Bang, he hit the table with his clenched fist making the conversation die down abruptly. In the silence, he stood up and walked out of the restaurant. As he was passing the window outside the large restaurant, he had the most infuriating words of his life.

"In this generation, all talents must take a back seat now that Wu Yi is here."

The young man removed his black robes to reveal a handsome young man with black hair, perfect facial features and brown eyes.

The young man was extremely handsome and some might say that he was the most handsome fella they had ever seen. These words would be true until they met Wu Yi.

The young man walked along the streets as though he owned them.

All who came across him bowed deeply before moving to the side for him to pass.

This you h man was none other than Wu Chen. In the past two years, supervisor Wu had somehow doubled his wealth making him the richest man in the town's long history. The supervisor had used his wealth to buy influence in the town. He bought up so many businesses that it now seemed that every store in the town was owned by the Wu family. The name Wu was becoming synonymous with wealth, power and talent.

The talent was due to Wu Yi and in some small part, Wu Chen.

Wu Yi had begun helping out his 'father 'with the management of the spirit mine.

Wu Chen did not know how Wu Yi had been able to convince the Supervisor to do such a thing but once Wu Yi got his hands in the mine, productivity

 more than doubled. Ever since then, the supervisor had taken a back seat letting Wu Yi run the entire thing.

Wu Yi even became the manager of the vast family wealth and it was his bold decisions that had made the Wu family so rich.

He had wired ideas that somehow made huge profits.

Wu Chen walked with determination.

He had made up his mind to kill Wu Yi and regain his honour as the young master of the Wu family.
