Soon after, both of them landed on the top of the cliff.
The surrounding black fog became lighter, and Wu Yuanyuan looked back below. Just half a day ago, she thought this would be her burial place, and her heart was filled with endless gloom and despair.
But now, looking at the quiet forest below, she felt that it was so beautiful. It seemed to have a bright color in her eyes, and it made her happier than most of the places of interest in the world.
Inadvertently, Wu Yuanyuan raised her head and found that Zhuo Mufeng was also looking down. Sensing the girl's gaze, Zhuo Mufeng turned his head. The two seemed to have the same mind and laughed at the same time.
Wu Yuanyuan said angrily: "Why are you laughing? Are you very proud?"
Zhuo Mufeng touched his head and did not answer her words. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Well, Miss, can we discuss something?"
Wu Yuanyuan glanced at him a few times, and said with a suspicious look on her face: "What's going on, please tell me first." This guy rarely gets so short of breath, so it seems that it's probably not a good thing.
Zhuo Mufeng laughed sarcastically for a while, and then finally said: "Can we keep our relationship private for now and don't let others know about it?"
When Wu Damei heard this, her pretty face that was originally smiling suddenly darkened, and she sneered: "Hey! Zhuo, you can do it. You have almost taken advantage of it. Now tell me this, I am so...
Are you shady? Do you want to eat everything and refuse to admit it? "
The beauty of the Wu Dynasty screamed fiercely, and stabbed Zhuo Mufeng's chest with her pointed fingers, trying to show her strength. Zhuo Mufeng was pushed back repeatedly, and she stepped forward again and again. By the end of the sentence, her eyes were burning.
Nameless rage.
Anyone would think too much about a man who is having sex with you and me in private, but asks you not to show it to the public. What is he trying to do? Keep a concubine?
Madame Wu secretly swore that if Zhuo Mufeng didn't tell her about Chou Yin today, she would never let him go, and she would have to tear this guy's bones apart!
"Stop, please stop and listen to me, okay?"
Zhuo Mufeng grabbed Wu Yuanyuan's finger, and the latter pulled it hard, but found that he couldn't shake it off. He raised his eyebrows and planned to use his power to shake it away. Zhuo Mufeng was shocked when he saw it, and without thinking, he hurriedly scratched her finger.
Creaking nest.
As expected, Wu Yuanyuan got out of the way laughing and screaming.
The two of them had been fighting for a while. Seeing that her anger was almost gone, Zhuo Mufeng stopped and put his hands around her shoulders. He looked down and said with a wry smile: "Miss, can you please stop?"
Are you so impulsive? Listen to my reasons before taking action?"
This time, without waiting for Wu Yuanyuan to speak, she took the initiative to explain: "The reason why I want to hide our relationship from you for the time being is to plan for the long term. Now I have nothing for the time being. Once it is made public, what will your adoptive father and stepmother think?
?
Do you think that I want to use you to gain status and resources in the Sanjiang League? If, I said if, once it arouses misunderstanding and resentment from the adoptive parents, will they use any means to separate you and me?
Can I stop it now?"
Wu Yuanyuan's struggle became much weaker, a thoughtful look appeared on her face, and she said after a while: "My parents value you very much. I won't misunderstand you. Maybe they wish you and I were together."
Zhuo Mufeng asked with a smile: "Are you sure?"
Wu Yuanyuan opened her mouth, but no words came out.
She saw her parents' attitude towards Zhuo Mufeng, and they really valued her, and sometimes behaved better than herself. But Wu Yuanyuan was not stupid, and knew that she was her parents' favorite, at least at this stage.
Once the relationship between him and Zhuo Mufeng is made public, there is no guarantee that his parents will not think too much about it, and it may really affect their relationship.
Seeing this, Zhuo Mufeng struck while the iron was hot: "You may say that you can explain it, but this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly. The eldest lady is so innocent and beautiful, anyone will think that you are being deceived by me. The more you explain, the more you explain, the more you are a stepfather."
My mother hates me more and more."
He only said half of this. The attitudes of Wu Guanting and Miao Qingcheng were indeed what worried Zhuo Mufeng, but there was another more important reason that he did not explain.
Cui Bojian!
Once Zhuo Mufeng discloses his relationship with Wu Yuanyuan, Cui Baojian will definitely make a fuss about it with the vicious methods of that dead eunuch, and may even threaten himself to attack Wu Yuanyuan. This is something Zhuo Mufeng can never accept.
He said that he would not deceive Wu Yuanyuan in the future, but there were some things that he could not say for the time being. Fortunately, this was not considered deception, but at most it was a well-intentioned concealment.
Wu Yuanyuan was speechless by what he said. It actually made sense when she thought about it, but she still couldn't reconcile herself and said, "Do you want to keep doing this and sneaking around with me?"
Official Zhuo quickly made a promise: "Of course not. Don't worry, eldest lady. It will only take a while at most. When I am sure, I will hold your hand and propose marriage to my adoptive father and mother in person."
These words made the corners of Wu Damei's mouth turn up, but she quickly held back and said expressionlessly: "Who cares? Zhuo Mufeng, please remember what you said today, I will give you three months to settle all this.
Miss, you can’t keep secretly with you forever!”
Zhuo Daguan's hair stood on end when he heard this, and he was completely speechless. Three months? Three months is nothing. Do you think Cui Baojian is a vegetarian? Three years is about the same.
Zhuo Daguan laughed bitterly and said: "Miss, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I don't want any changes in our affairs. It's easy to make mistakes in a hurry."
"Who do you think is impatient?"
Beauty Wu's face turned red, her eyes widened with anger, she stared at Zhuo Mufeng as if she wanted to eat someone, pointed at him, and said angrily: "Tell me, what do you mean, do you want to delay deliberately? The person named Zhuo
, if you don’t want to be responsible, just say so, I don’t care about this young lady, there are many men who want to pick me up!”
Seeing that the eldest lady had lost her temper and started talking nonsense indiscriminately, Zhuo Mufeng also felt angry in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to retort, but as soon as the words reached his throat, he held it back at the last moment.
With Wu Yuanyuan's temper, if she really tried to argue with her, she would most likely get angry, and the situation would only get worse.
But there is no way to continue like this. If this woman does this every time they disagree, how can Zhuo Mufeng stand this? Sooner or later something will happen.
With a thought in his heart, the guy immediately changed his policy and switched to a gentle offensive. After a while, he smiled and said: "Little idiot, be obedient. As the saying goes, the husband sings and the wife follows, you can't mess with the etiquette."
Wu Yuanyuan's face turned red, she stamped her feet and cursed: "Whoever follows you will follow you, you are shameless."
Zhuo Daguan laughed, knowing that this woman only had a tough talk, but in fact she was already subdued in her heart, and she did not criticize her, so she immediately became bold and high-spirited.
The most important thing is that this time he found a way to deal with Miss Wu. From now on, if this woman dares to disobey, he will punish her severely to see if she dares to be dishonest.
Putting Miss Wu down and patting her on the back, Officer Zhuo said with an order, "Go, pick up the medicine basket on the ground and pick more herbs!"
Miss Wu nestled in his arms for a while, looking up at him pitifully. Official Zhuo turned a blind eye and let out a "hmm" in his nose, his voice gradually rising.
Beauty Wu's heart was beating wildly, fearing that he would do the same thing again, so she had no choice but to pouted, turned around and picked up the medicine basket, not forgetting to pick a bundle of Sanxuan snail grass on the ground, put it in it, and walked back
, eagerly handed the medicine basket to Zhuo Mufeng.
Fortunately, Zhuo Mufeng didn't make things difficult for her again this time. He carried the medicine basket on his back, kissed her on the face, and rewarded her with a smile: "You're so good, let's go!" He took her hand and walked back.
Wu Yuanyuan laughed, but soon she felt that something was wrong. What was she doing? Being shouted at and given orders, and feeling as happy as if she received a good word. Isn't this a bit mean?
But the warmth from the palm of her hand made Wu Damei enjoy it so much that she couldn't bear to throw it away. She had to tell herself in her heart that I, the lady, have a lot, so let's not care about it for the time being. If the other party dares to do this next time, she must teach her a lesson.
He can't!
The two of them talked and laughed all the way back. In order to avoid Shengwushan's suspicion, they used kung fu to make themselves pale, as if they could hardly bear it.
Arriving near the exit, Zhuo Mufeng quickly let go of Wu Yuanyuan's hand, receiving a big eye roll from the latter.
"Mufeng, wizard sister."
Not long after, a voice sounded. Sima Ying, who was at the exit, saw the two of them and flew over quickly. She forced a smile and said: "You are finally out." But his eyes stayed on the medicine basket behind Zhuo Mufeng.
Zhuo Mufeng untied the medicine basket and threw it to Sima Ying: "There are sixty plants of Trichosanthes striata in it, which is just enough for the three of us."
In fact, Wu Yuanyuan picked more than that, but the extra ones were taken by someone and secretly put into the medicine garden.
Sima Ying froze, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He quickly took the medicine basket and counted the points. After confirming, he raised his head and said in a choked voice: "Mu Feng, thank you very much!"
He knew the situation inside Wujuan Forest very well, so he could imagine that Zhuo Mufeng must have paid a lot of money in order to collect sixty three-black snail bead grass. Didn't he see that both the other party and Wu Yuanyuan looked defeated and crumbling?
?
At this moment, Sima Ying truly regarded Zhuo Mufeng as a friend, a friend who could be deeply friends with!
"You're welcome. You and I are allies. If I don't help you, who can I help? Besides, these medicines were picked by the wizard girl." Zhuo Daguan waved his hand and said generously.
Sima Ying quickly expressed his gratitude to Wu Yuanyuan, took the initiative to carry the medicine basket, and stepped forward to help Zhuo Mufeng. Wu Yuanyuan was a woman, but it was inconvenient for him to reach out. Fortunately, Wu Yuanyuan could still walk.
In this way, the three of them came out of Wujuan Forest, and Sima Ying handed the medicine basket to the mountain patrol warrior guarding the exit. The mountain patrol warrior counted the numbers and looked at the three people with surprise in his eyes, but he didn't say much.
.
But after the three people left, the man nodded and made a gesture in the opposite direction. In the jungle opposite, a figure immediately soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
