Chapter 22: Argument

Lu Feng was speechless by his wife's words. He knew in his heart that his wife was actually unwilling to throw away the wages. However, after finally being able to leave White Tiger City, why did he stay here? Could he wait for others to kill him?

His wife may not understand, but Lu Feng's mind is clear. All the people in the pawn shop were killed before. Although they don't know who the murderer was behind the scenes, there must be deeper forces behind the pawn shop, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do it.

Dare to steal the beast core blatantly.

Now that the person in the pawn shop is dead, the forces behind him will definitely come to his door. Even if he has nothing to do with this matter, the other party will definitely take it out on him. How can he protect his wife and children with his own ability?

Therefore, Lu Feng made up his mind to leave Baihu City, and even if his wife objected, his determination could not be changed.

"Okay, okay, don't I understand what you are thinking? Let me tell you, the murder case in the pawn shop has not been solved yet. You don't want to involve our family in it, do you?"

My father's tone has become serious, but my mother still seems to want to grasp the last straw.

"Isn't this asking us to leave the city? The female general must have found the murderer. What are we afraid of?"

The father was furious and said angrily, "Woman, your thoughts will kill our whole family."

After being scolded by her husband, my mother suddenly became angry.

"What a woman, I think you are just afraid and want to go back to the village to live a leisurely life. What's wrong here? We earn so much money every day. In less than a month, we can rent a house and work hard.

In a few years, maybe we can gain a firm foothold in White Tiger City."

My mother was speechless, and my father also became stubborn.

"Whether you have the final say in this family or I have the final say, I have decided to leave the city early tomorrow morning."

When had my mother ever been criticized like this by her father, she immediately replied.

"You have the final say when it is your turn in this family. I have also decided that I will go to the tailor shop to work as usual tomorrow. If I want to go back, you can go back by yourself."

Seeing that the communication was fruitless, the angry father took out his pipe again, squatted alone at the door and started smoking. As for the mother, she turned her head and remained silent.

The atmosphere became tense for a while, and Xiaoqiang, who looked helpless, didn't know what to do next.

"Mom, I want to go home."

Xiaoqiang looked at his mother deliberately and aggrieved.

Seeing her son's eyes full of tears, the mother's heart suddenly softened, she hugged Xiaoqiang and said sobbing.

"You tell me, isn't it for this family? You and I both see clearly what's going on in our family. It was not easy for Xiaoqiang to participate in the temple blessing. Since then, he has some magic talent. I originally wanted to save it.

Didn't you send Xiaoqiang to the magic academy just to turn our family around? Do you want us to live in that village all our lives?"

The more my mother talked, the more she cried. My father's ears softened, and he immediately gave up his opinion and sighed.

"I also know that you are here for this family, but things don't go as expected. Aren't I afraid that those people will come to trouble us again?"

"Afraid, afraid, afraid. Why weren't you afraid of others coming to you when you were gambling? But now you are afraid. Think about it for yourself."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense again, Xiaoqiang quickly interrupted.

"Mom, can't we go home?"

Seeing Xiaoqiang keep talking about going home, her mother's heart suddenly softened, and she choked out.

"Son, it's not that I don't want to go back, it's actually that I want to make more money. When we save enough for tuition, your father and I can go back, but if we go back now, those people from the gambling houses will definitely come to us and say

Maybe our home has been occupied by them, so instead of going back, we might as well stay here and work hard, maybe it can change our destiny."

Xiaoqiang could not refute his mother's words, and he respected his mother even more in his heart. At this moment, after hearing his mother's true words, his father's heart suddenly softened.

"Okay, okay, let's not go back now. We'll see what happens when we earn enough for tuition."

Seeing her husband agree, my mother felt sad and happy at the same time. She touched the tears at the corners of her eyes and forced a smile.

"That's right. When my son enters the White Tiger Magic Academy, I will follow you wherever you go without any complaints."

After the matter came to an end, the atmosphere of the confrontation between the two elders calmed down, so after eating some food and drinks, they went to bed early as usual.

However, Xiaoqiang was not sleepy at all at this moment. He quietly got up while his parents were sleeping, and then used his flying boots to go to the auction house where the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce was located again.

As soon as he entered the auction house, Xiaoqiang felt that the atmosphere was unusual.

He found that although the pedestrians coming and going were dressed in different styles, a large number of them always looked at them with a sense of scrutiny and surveillance.

Especially when Xiaoqiang walked into the door, several eyes were directed towards him, which was full of vigilance.

Fortunately, Xiaoqiang's arrival was too conspicuous, and the young lady who had received him before noticed it immediately, so she walked over with a smile on her face.

"Young Master, you are here to attend the auction."

The title changed to Young Master, and Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing. He raised his head to look at the young lady in front of him, but because the other party's huge breasts blocked his view, he could only see the other party's forehead.

However, this did not prevent Xiaoqiang from liking this young lady, he said sweetly.

"Sister has become beautiful again. Does she have a boyfriend?"

Being teased by a child, the young lady did not show the slightest hint of anger. Instead, she kept giggling.

"The young master is so good at talking. I don't have a boyfriend. How about you being my boyfriend?"

Such straightforward words immediately made Xiaoqiang retreat.

"Sister, don't you think I'm young?"

"Small?" the young lady asked deliberately with a smile, "Where is it small?"

Being hit by the other party's implication, Xiaoqiang immediately felt that he was being teased. How could he admit defeat because he was so strong, so he asked deliberately.

"Sister, do you think I'm big?"

"Yeah?" The young lady laughed.

"Then how big am I?"

Seeing Xiao Qiang's confused expression, the young lady didn't seem to understand the deeper meaning of her words. She was worried and didn't want to spoil the child in front of her, so she said in a different tone.

"I think you are a little grown-up."

"My lord!" Xiaoqiang deliberately showed disappointment on his face, "I thought that was the one you were referring to?"

Xiaoqiang's answer made the young lady naturally think of something indescribable, and her face flushed unconsciously, and she said angrily.

"What do you mean?"
