Shang Zirong was silent as she walked on the road. Ever since she left the Wu Mansion, she had been following Zhuo Mufeng closely, her head lowered and silent.
The two of them came to the huge embankment by Nuanyang Lake. The scorching sun made the lake surface dazzling with golden light, and several painted boats and fishing boats were passing through it.
Zhuo Mufeng stretched, without looking back, and said with a smile: "Junior sister, are you unhappy about something?"
Shang Zirong remained silent.
Thinking about it and knowing why, Zhuo Mufeng sighed: "There are some things that we have to do. Maybe you think that senior brother is greedy for power and seeks to climb high, but I don't have many choices. I don't want people around me to be hurt anymore."
Shang Zirong said in a low voice: "It's me who has brought trouble to senior brother."
Zhuo Mufeng shook his head and laughed: "Where did it come from? I asked Wu Guanting to be my adoptive father. I don't know how many people asked for it, but I still can't get it. In the eyes of outsiders, I burned high incense in my previous life, so I should be grateful to my junior sister.
From now on, junior sister should be able to walk around Gusu City in my name, and slap anyone who messes with you without opening your eyes!"
Shang Zirong imagined the scene he described, smiled, and raised her hand to hit her senior brother on the back.
The girl was not stupid, and she vaguely guessed that her senior brother's refusal to become Wu Guanting's disciple was probably for her own sake. Unexpectedly, her relationship with the Wu Mansion became closer after two visits.
After laughing, Shang Zirong took Zhuo Mufeng's hand, shook it gently and said, "Senior brother, I'm afraid of living alone in Mozhu Gang, so don't leave me, okay?"
Zhuo Mufeng turned his head and wondered: "I don't want to live anywhere else, but after all, I am Wu Guanting's adopted son in name, so I can't be too unfamiliar with that place."
Shang Zirong lied a little, her eyes were slightly red: "Senior brother, senior brother, Rong'er doesn't want to leave you. Besides, you are the leader of the Mozhu Gang, how can you abandon the gang and ignore it?"
Zhuo Mufeng: "I thought about it. Anyway, you are in charge of everything in the gang. Let's do this. After I go back this time, I will give up the position of gang leader to you. This way, I will have no worries and it will be convenient for everyone."
,How about it?"
Shang Zirong's face turned pale and she said anxiously: "No! I'm not familiar with the affairs of the gang at all. I still need my senior brother to point me in the right direction. You, have you forgotten my father's instructions to you? His old man has a spirit in heaven.
You can't leave me!"
Zhuo Mufeng was moved and angry.
In order to keep herself, this little girl devalued her own abilities and even gave up the position of gang leader. But what did she mean by threatening herself with the dead Shang Xian? Was she deliberately trying to scare people?
Zhuo Mufeng rewarded her with a chestnut as usual and walked towards Nuanyang Mountain. Shang Zirong chased her from behind, trying hard to get her to continue living in the gang.
The midday sun shines straight down, reflecting the two figures on the embankment gradually moving away.
…
Wu Guanting's recognition of his adopted son was no small matter. As soon as the news came out, it alarmed the entire Gusu City and spread to other places at an extremely fast speed.
Even "On Jianghu" focused on recording this incident and published it on three full pages. Because of this incident, Zhuo Mufeng truly entered the field of vision of the upper echelons of Jianghu for the first time.
In a courtyard full of flowers in the Wu Mansion.
Wu Yuanyuan was stunned when she heard the maid's report. Her hand holding the pastry froze in mid-air, and her red lips were slightly open. It was even more exaggerated than when she heard about a sow climbing a tree.
After a long time, Wu Yuanyuan came back to her senses, threw the pastries on the fruit plate, and glared at the maid: "Myolie, what are you talking nonsense about? If you have been too busy recently, I can find something for you to do!"
"
Hearing the unkind tone of the young lady, Xing'er stamped her feet anxiously and hurriedly said: "Miss, Xing'er wouldn't dare to lie to you even if I have ten thousand courages. Now it's being spread throughout the house. Just ask anyone and you'll know.
"
Of course Myolie wouldn’t dare to fabricate such an extremely ridiculous rumor, but because of this, it has extremely high credibility.
Wu Yuanyuan refused to give up: "You just said, who is the adopted son that dad wants to recognize?"
Xing'er said: "I heard from people that his name seems to be Zhuo Mufeng, the guy who broke into Xia Zhuyuan last time. I heard that he also established a gang in Nuanyang Mountain and has a good relationship with Senior Brother Hua."
Wu Yuanyuan's heart grew colder as she listened. Comparing all the information, wasn't this the shameless bastard?
What the hell are you kidding me!
I wanted to chop that guy up, but he turned around and wanted to recognize his father as his adoptive father. It was ridiculous, it was so ridiculous!
No one would believe that two people who were incompatible with each other and had at least some contact with Xia Zhuyuan on Jingshen Island could actually have such a thing happen?
Wu Yuanyuan shook her head, with a look of disbelief on her face, and asked angrily: "It's inexplicable, so good, what did dad think?"
Forced by the young lady's momentum, Xing'er said weakly: "I heard that yesterday, the alliance leader saved Zhuo Mufeng's junior sister, Zhuo Mufeng came to thank her, and then Senior Brother Hua took the initiative to facilitate this matter."
Wu Yuanyuan suddenly narrowed her eyes with a dangerous look: "Who did you say just now? Who suggested it?"
Xing'er was a little scared and didn't dare not answer: "Senior Brother Hua."
Senior Brother Hua? Huawei Peak?
A whooshing sound.
Myolie's eyes only dimmed as she lost sight of the young lady on the stone bench. She yelled a few times and ran out of the yard in a hurry.
In the study room.
Wu Guanting, who was leisurely reading an ancient book and sipping tea from time to time, heard a loud noise and the door was kicked open hard, and he immediately raised his head.
You don't need to look at it to know that in the entire Sanjiang League, who else but my own daughter would dare to do such a thing? I just don't know who provoked me today.
Wu Guanting was in a good mood. When he saw his daughter walking in angrily, he didn't blame her. Instead, he smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Wu Yuanyuan ignored Gu Mengtang beside her and hummed: "Dad, you want to recognize Zhuo Mufeng as your adopted son. Is this true?"
Wu Guanting smiled and nodded.
Before coming, Wu Yuanyuan still had high hopes and wondered whether it was spreading lies. But seeing her father nodding with her own eyes immediately shattered her illusions and made her furious on the spot: "No! Dad, I won't allow it!"
Wu Guanting said: "Mufeng has excellent qualifications and good character. Dad admires him very much."
Mu Feng? Now you’re calling me affectionate? It doesn’t matter if you have excellent qualifications, but you also have good character. Does that bastard have character?
Thinking of the unbearable things the other party had done to her, Wu Yuanyuan felt so miserable that she could only grit her teeth and said: "Dad, I refuse, you can't do that!"
Wu Guanting glanced at his daughter strangely: "Yuan girl, dad remembers that Mu Feng is your savior and saved you twice. But it seems that you have a deep prejudice against him. Could it be that something happened in the middle that dad doesn't know about?
, come and listen."
How could such a thing be said out loud? Wu Yuanyuan could only slow down her tone: "I just think that this is too sudden. As a father, it is not a trivial matter to recognize a child. I am afraid of being taken advantage of."
Wu Guanting: "Dad has his own concerns about this matter, so you don't need to worry about it."
Wu Yuanyuan stayed in the study and refused to leave, just to force Wu Guanting to change his mind. However, this time, she discovered that her father, who had been so obedient to her in the past, was determined to accept Zhuo Mufeng.
If this happens, won't I have to call that bastard brother from now on?
Thinking of that scene, Wu Yuanyuan almost had the urge to go crazy. Seeing that her father would not let go, she stamped her feet fiercely and slammed the door angrily.
