After all, his curiosity about the sister in white clothes was just a temporary interest. To put it bluntly, he and the other party just met by chance. They said goodbye today. Whether they can see each other again in the future is another matter.
Since the other person is destined not to be in the same world as him, why bother paying more attention and wasting energy?
If we can meet again, I will definitely repay her for her great kindness!
Zhuo Mufeng exhaled and thought of something. He took out a book from his arms and threw it directly to Hu Lai. It was what the middle-aged man gave him.
"Boss, what is this?"
Hu Lai took the book and looked at it. On the left side of the blue title page, there were four black characters written "Comments on Baicao Jing". When he opened it, he saw that it was full of medicinal herbs and medical science.
The small black characters were so densely packed that it gave him a headache, and he wanted to throw them back on the spot. If he had time to look at these useless things, he might as well go to the brothel and play with the girls more, so as to live up to his time.
But after all, it was given by the boss, so he couldn't help but give it face, so he put it in his arms with a smile, turned around and forgot about the book.
The two traveled long distances and spent more than twenty days before finally approaching Gusu City.
Afraid of being found out by Tianzhao and the Sanjiang Alliance, Zhuo Mufeng and Hu Lai entered the mountains outside the city in batches, washed the disguise on their faces with water in the kettle, changed into a set of clothes, and then Shi Shi.
Then walked out alone.
At this time, Zhuo Mufeng finally returned to his original appearance. He was dressed in a sky-blue gown, his black hair was wrapped in a cloth of the same color, and a few strands of floating silk in front of his forehead were unfettered and moved gently with the wind. He looked like a young man from a troubled world.
He walked out of the mountains and entered the city. Once people from Tianzhao and the Sanjiang Alliance asked him, they could say that he was practicing martial arts in Nuanyang Mountain and had a smooth journey to the outside of the city, which fulfilled the lie he had told before setting off.
Walking into the city, Gusu City was as prosperous as before. People in the streets, vendors, and even scholars and women passed by each other, and many eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhuo Mufeng.
Today, Zhuo Mufeng is almost eighteen years old. Unknowingly, he is much taller than when he first crossed over. He has a bigger frame, wider shoulders and narrow hips, and slender legs. The ancient double-swept gown cannot cover his tall and elegant figure.
body shape.
At the same time, her face is handsome and handsome, and there is no trace of effeminacy. Instead, her whole body exudes awe-inspiring masculinity. When walking in the crowd, she feels like she stands out from the crowd, and it is difficult not to be noticed.
"Gang leader!"
Just as he was about to return to the Mozhu Gang, he heard someone shouting from the left side of the crowd.
Turning around, he found Zhao Jin and several other old members of the gang standing in front of a restaurant. Shang Zirong was also there, looking at Zhuo Mufeng with surprise in his eyes, and found that he looked over with a bit of resentment.
.
Beside him, there were actually three acquaintances: Xue Shijie, the young master of the Tahoe Sect, and his senior fellow apprentices and henchmen Huang Chaohui and Ye Qiudong.
Zhuo Mufeng quickly walked over with a smile, and after meeting Zhao Jin and others, he smiled and touched Shang Zirong's head: "Junior sister, why are you here?"
Shang Zirong ducked away from Zhuo Mufeng's hand, angrily not looking at him: "In a large public place, men and women do not interact with each other. Senior brother, please don't mess around."
Huh! I haven’t seen you for more than two months, and my little girl’s personality has changed.
Frankly speaking, Zhuo Mufeng has met many women now, including Wu Yuanyuan and other stunning women. Shang Zirong's appearance and figure can only be regarded as a beauty among ordinary people.
But the feeling she gave Zhuo Mufeng was different.
This was the junior sister he had grown up with since childhood. The trust and affection between the two was far beyond what others could compare to.
He will never forget that day, facing the indifference of the heroes in the witch house, this girl was the only one standing beside him. Even though she was so timid that she was trembling all over, she still firmly held his hand.
She also said that what the senior brother did must be right, and she would always believe in the senior brother.
This time, he narrowly escaped death several times in Tianfu, which made Zhuo Mufeng more enlightened. He cherished this friendship even more and said with a smile: "Senior brother is not someone else."
He stretched out his hand and hit Shang Zirong hard on the head. Shang Zirong couldn't avoid it and took it forcefully. However, not only was he not angry, but the corner of his mouth slightly curled up and he turned his head with a groan.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhuo Mufeng finally looked at Xue Shijie and the others who were uneasy and hesitant to speak, and took the initiative to say hello: "Brother Xue, how come you three are with my junior sister? You are not bullying her."
Bar?"
"Don't you dare, Brother Zhuo, no matter who we bully, we don't dare to bully Junior Sister Ling."
Xue Shijie and the others quickly denied it.
Just kidding, Zhuo Mufeng is not what he used to be. Although his strength is still low, in terms of status, he is probably much higher than his father Xue Yuanfeng.
When they first heard that Zhuo Mufeng had adopted Wu Guanting as his adoptive father, Xue Shijie and the other two people collapsed and resisted. They thought it was a big joke played by their subordinates, or that it was someone with the same name.
But the facts do not depend on their will.
But they really couldn't figure out how such a boy from a remote country could leap over the dragon's gate all of a sudden. The distance covered by this leap was something that most people in the world would never be able to reach in a few lifetimes.
When they saw Zhuo Mufeng again, all the condescension was gone and they were greeted with smiles. Thinking of having dealt with Zhuo Mufeng in the past, the three of them were even a little frightened.
Zhuo Mufeng laughed and patted Xue Shijie on the shoulder: "You're just kidding, Brother Xue, how is Uncle Xue? I've been busy recently and haven't gone to see him. I asked Brother Xue to put in a nice word for me so that he wouldn't blame me.
"
Xue Shijie was a little scared and a little unbelievable, but looking at Zhuo Mufeng's sincere smile, he seemed to understand something, and the emotions in his heart were complicated and difficult to describe.
He finally understood why his father insisted on making friends with Zhuo Mufeng regardless of his reaction. His father's vision was indeed beyond his own. He also laughed loudly and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Brother Zhuo, my father was still a friend a few days ago.
I mentioned you before and said I wanted to drink with you."
Zhuo Mufeng said: "I have just left the customs. I have to go to the Sanjiang League first. When the matter is over, I will come to your mansion to visit."
Xue Shijie nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Zhuo."
He saw that Zhuo Mufeng wanted to talk to Shang Zirong and others, so he understood the idea. After a few polite words, he strode away with Huang Zhaohui and Ye Qiudong.
Zhao Jin walked up and whispered: "During the meal earlier, a few guys who didn't know the lady's identity came to cause trouble. The man named Xue helped us."
With the change of Zhuo Mufeng's identity, no one with a little respect dared to offend Shang Zirong anymore, but there are always some blind people.
Zhuo Mufeng asked: "Did you come to eat first, or did they come first?"
Zhao Jin's complexion changed and he understood. The gang leader suspected whether it was the plan of Xue Shijie and others, and hurriedly said: "When we came, Xue Shijie and the others had almost eaten."
Then he added: "Those scoundrels disturbed the lady before you joined the Sanjiang Alliance."
Zhuo Mufeng nodded. A man has clear grudges and grudges. Xue Yuanfeng has great kindness to him. He will always remember it in his heart and will never change it due to his status and circumstances.
As long as Xue Shijie and others don't make random decisions, he is happy to maintain this relationship.
"Let's go."
At the same time that Zhuo Mufeng and his party returned to Nuanyang Mountain, Wu Yuanyuan and others had already returned to the Sanjiang League in advance and reported the results of their trip.
Hearing that he almost got the four-star seed but missed it, Wu Guanting didn't have much reaction. Instead, he comforted everyone and said: "You have tried your best and you should have no regrets. There is no need to be resentful!"
Everyone responded one by one.
Rather than the four-star seed, Wu Guanting was more interested in Hua Zhi and asked with a smile: "I wonder where Hua Shaoxia is? Wu should meet such a hero in person."
Everyone looked at each other.
Yu Tianci glanced at Wu Yuanyuan, while the others also looked strange.
Finally, it was Meng Jiuxiao who reported: "To be honest with the leader, for some reason, Hua Shaoxia left Tianfu without saying goodbye the night he left Tianfu."
"oh?"
Wu Guanting looked suspicious.
Since that man was obsessed with his lover and even gave the secret book to Sanjiang League for free, how could he leave on the eve of joining?
It's not that Wu Guanting really valued Hua Zhi, he just felt that since the other party was so generous, he had to repay his kindness, but he actually left.
Meng Jiuxiao coughed and said bravely: "Maybe Hua Shaoxia has figured it out and prefers a free life."
Hearing this, Wu Guanting looked at Wu Yuanyuan, whose face was reddened and seemed to have a lot of things to say but could not say them out, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Many star-rated medicinal materials are handed over to the alliance. The next step is to register them in a book and then distribute them according to merit. This will take a certain amount of time and cannot be completed on the spot.
Wu Guanting comforted everyone and asked them to go down to rest first, leaving Wu Yuanyuan alone.
Tapping his fingers on the armrest, Wu Guanting looked at his daughter quietly and said with a half-smile, "Girl Yuan, is there nothing you want to say to your father?"
Meeting her father's eyes, Wu Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and she quickly turned her gaze away: "I've said what needs to be said. If nothing happens to daddy, my daughter will go down and wash up."
"I'm not busy." Wu Guanting waved his hand with a smile on his face, but what he said made Wu Yuanyuan suddenly raise her head: "Tell me first, what is going on with that Hua Zhi?"
"What's going on? My daughter doesn't understand what her father means."
Wu Yuanyuan's heartbeat accelerated slightly, but her face pretended to be calm.
Wu Guanting said speechlessly: "You can deceive Lao Meng and the others, but you can't deceive me. You are my daughter, and your father knows how much you have.
You might be able to do it with some cleverness, but if you single-handedly drive a wedge between Grandma Deuxin and her disciples, and also use the gold package to make the three parties kill each other, I'm afraid you don't have that ability yet.
Barong and Fang Xiaodie were Bao Jin's disciples, so it should be impossible for them to participate beforehand. Everyone else was also dead, leaving only Hua Zhi and Hu Yan.
Yuan Yatou, tell Dad, is the person who led the incident that Hua Zhi? In that case, how did he hide it from Grandma Chuexin and gain your trust? "
A suffocating and powerful aura erupted from Wu Guanting's body, causing the entire air in the conference hall to freeze.
The leader of the Sanjiang Alliance, one of the few giants in the southern martial arts world, had a majestic look on his handsome face at this time, and said coldly: "If dad's conclusion is true, that person dominated the incident, but in the end made you willing to bear everything
."
After a slight pause, he said word by word with a solemn tone: "According to your temper, this will never be the case. Did he threaten you or bully you? Tell me!"
A simple sentence, but it was like a thunderbolt exploding in Wu Yuanyuan's ears.
