Because of the temptation of the two Hexiang Pills, this Fengyun Conference was predicted to be the most tragic one, and it was indeed the case.
In the past few sessions, unless there was a grudge between the top players on the Star Ranking, they would basically not use special skills to suppress the situation. Naturally, it would be difficult for them to fight each other to the death.
But this time, the leaders of various factions and the reclusive people all acted in earnest, and few of them were left intact. They often vomited blood and were injured.
For example, Tao Baibai, Yan Guhong, Qiu Yue and others who were determined to seize the Hexiang Pill once struggled so hard that they barely escaped death on the field, which really frightened the elders and disciples of their respective factions.
When Tao Baibai went through hardships and paid a heavy price to win the first place, the entire Tao family camp erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Several elders rushed to the ring immediately to help Tao Baibai push the palace to heal his injuries.
Xiaoyao Hou was taken away for treatment by the court's troops.
The end of the peak battle also heralded the end of this personal battle. Zhuge Zhen immediately announced the results and read out the new rankings on the Heavenly Star Ranking and Earth Spirit Ranking.
Those who rise in the rankings cannot conceal their excitement. The two major lists are full of gold. For many people on the lists, they may not be able to rise a few places in more than ten years, and sometimes their rankings will regress due to rising stars.
Now that the ranking is improved, it will definitely gain a lot of prestige in the world, and it will also gain a lot of face in front of relatives and friends. Especially for the leader of a faction, this is not only personal progress, but also brings full benefits to his own power. It can be said that
Kill multiple birds with one stone.
As for those who have dropped in the rankings, it is natural that they can't hide their disappointment and sadness. Some are disheartened because they are too old, while others think that there is still room for improvement and secretly vow to fight again next time to avenge their previous shame.
The final step is, of course, the distribution of rewards.
Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at the two small wooden boxes that Zhuge Zhen took from the officers and soldiers. As the boxes were opened, two pills the size of longan appeared in everyone's sight.
The elixir was dark gray in color, and seemed to have intertwined lines on its surface. It was hard to see clearly because it was too far away, but there was a faint and long aroma that came to everyone's nose.
As everyone sniffed it, they immediately felt refreshed. And some of the top Star Bridge Realm masters who ranked at the top of the Star Ranking even reacted. Their internal energy surged faster due to this breath, and there was a faint breakthrough.
Signs of a barrier.
"Sure enough, it's the Hexiang Pill!" A miracle doctor from the Tao family opened his eyes wide and shot out a fiery light. He didn't want to possess the Hexiang Pill, but he admired the person who refined this pill, and he also wanted to get a glimpse of the lost pill.
square.
Bianhe of the Sanjiang League also had shortness of breath. As a drug addict, he could rarely resist the temptation of Hexiang Dan.
All the doctors present looked obsessed, but when they thought that the recipe had been lost long ago, they couldn't help but beat their chests, stamp their feet, and sigh.
Although everyone wants to take a closer look at the Hexiang Pill, this is obviously unrealistic. According to the rules beforehand, only the first place in the youth group and the ordinary group can get one pill each.
After Zhuge Zhen called his name, Zhuo Mufeng and Tao Baibai, who had just recovered, came on stage to receive the gifts, which naturally attracted all the attention.
"The young nephew is awesome." Although Tao Baibai was fat and pale, he seemed to be in a good mood and praised Zhuo Mufeng with a smile.
Zhuo Mufeng was most wary of this kind of smiling tiger, and said with a smile: "I don't deserve it. Uncle Tao is hiding his secrets. I'm afraid there will be no rivals in the Eastern Zhou Wulin."
Everyone loves the tall hat, and Tao Baibai smiles even more, but secretly scolds this boy for his duplicity. He is a peak star bridge warrior, and even if he is given ten courages, he would not dare to be ranked number one in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Otherwise, let alone the Dongfang family.
Just the coughing Hua Wubing would talk to him.
Tao Baibai couldn't help but think that if this kid hadn't interfered, his Tao family would have obtained two Hexiang Pills alone, and the chance of a Hexiang realm master appearing would be greater, and he hated Zhuo Mufeng a little in his heart.
The two foxes, one big and one small, laughed and walked off the stage and returned to their respective camps. There was no sect fighting on this day, so everyone left one after another in envy and jealousy.
Returning to the headquarters of the Sanjiang League, Zhuo Mufeng immediately handed the small wooden box containing the Hexiang Pill to Wu Guanting.
Wu Guanting was shocked: "Mufeng, what do you mean?"
Everyone also looked at Zhuo Mufeng, their eyes flashing.
Zhuo Mufeng: "My foster father is the leader of the Sanjiang Alliance, and he is involved in the ups and downs of the alliance. If my foster father is strong, no one in the Sanjiang Alliance would dare to bully him. Besides, this elixir is useless here."
Wu Guanting refused repeatedly: "No, my son has worked hard to get this. How can I take it away from him as a father? It is useless now. With the posture of Mu Feng, it can be used in less than ten years."
He is a handsome gentleman and considers himself a father, so he is unwilling to accept Zhuo Mufeng's gifts.
But Zhuo Mufeng also made up his mind and had to send it out.
He felt that he owed Wu Guanting a lot. He had concealed a lot of things from others, and felt so guilty that he had to make amends: "Father, between you and me, there is no right to take anything away from me? This is
Do you look down on the child's filial piety?"
"Mu Feng, don't talk nonsense!" Wu Guanting feigned anger, but his heart was moved.
This is the Hexiang Pill that makes the leaders of the various factions fight over it. If you use one, you will lose one. In the future, Zhuo Mufeng may never be able to find another pill, but he is willing to give it to himself.
This father-son friendship made Wu Guanting warm and unwilling to accept it. Meng Jiuxiao and others also looked at Zhuo Mufeng with emotion, and their expressions became even closer.
Miss Wu's beautiful eyes were already sticky. Looking at her sweetheart, she couldn't move away, and her heart felt like it was going to melt.
The father and son pushed me to resign. Seeing that there was no result, Meng Jiuxiao rolled his eyes, coughed a few times, stepped forward and said: "Alliance leader, young master, please listen to Meng Mou."
Everyone couldn't help but look at him, wondering what he had in mind.
Meng Jiuxiao looked at Zhuo Mufeng first, then at Wu Yuanyuan, with a narrow smile on his face, and asked: "Mufeng, Lao Meng just wants to ask you, how do you plan to deal with the relationship with the eldest lady?"
As soon as these words came out, before Zhuo Mufeng could react, Wu Yuanyuan had already screamed, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she stamped her feet and said, "Uncle Meng, what are you talking about!"
Meng Jiuxiao said seriously: "Lao Meng is not talking nonsense. Everyone has seen what happened between the two of you just now. Miss, you will not tell Lao Meng that you two are brother and sister, right?"
Everyone was speechless. No matter how deep the love between brother and sister is, they would not hug each other in public. Lao Meng, you asked knowingly.
As a father, Wu Guanting was full of embarrassment. After all, the matter involved a 'son and daughter'. In fact, thanks to Wu Guanting's open-mindedness, if it had been anyone else, Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan would have been locked up in a small dark room based on their previous actions.
It will take a few months to reflect on this.
Wu Guanting was so embarrassed that she wanted to turn around and run away, but she had a fierce nature. Most importantly, she also wanted to hear what Zhuo Mufeng would say, so even though her face was blushing, she would rather lower her head and endure the shame and anger.
to the scene.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, of course he had to shoulder the responsibility of a man at this time. Zhuo Mufeng took a deep breath, resisted the embarrassment and anxiety, clasped his fists towards Wu Guanting and said: "Father, please forgive me, my child, my child is brave.
, I would like to ask you to marry Yuanyuan to me."
After saying this, Zhuo Shaoxia's head lowered. This guy had been a man for two generations, but this was the first time he asked for marriage, and it was in front of many people.
Zhuo Shaoxia's heart suddenly beat very fast. He had never been so nervous even against Zhang Ru. Although Wu Guanting had nothing to say to him, he was not completely sure that the other party would agree to this.
Especially as time passed and he could not wait for Wu Guanting's voice, Zhuo Mufeng broke out in cold sweat, and he felt deep shame and self-consciousness in his heart.
Such an embarrassing scene was too much for his shamelessness. Just as he was about to retract his words, Meng Jiuxiao heard from the side and said: "Mu Feng, you said you want to marry the eldest lady, you can't just rely on one sentence, right? Where's the lottery?"
Zhuo Mufeng raised his head and thought to himself, Lao Meng, please stop causing trouble. His adoptive father did not agree, and everyone would look ugly if this continued.
But he saw Meng Jiuxiao winking at Zhuo Mufeng and transmitting a message: "Mufeng, it's not that the alliance leader doesn't agree to you, but you also know that he can't agree to this kind of situation as soon as you open your mouth, right?"
After getting along with each other for many years, Meng Jiuxiao is one of the people who knows Wu Guanting best. He can understand Wu Guanting's thoughts just by looking at his expression.
This was indeed the case, Wu Guanting was extremely satisfied with Zhuo Mufeng.
This adopted son is an unparalleled choice in terms of character, temperament, aptitude, martial arts, and even appearance and temperament. Although he has some minor flaws, he does things both right and wrong, and he likes to go eccentric, but he is essentially good.
. Wu Guanting also believed that he had his own teachings and would be able to correct his adopted son sooner or later.
With Zhuo Mufeng's conditions, he is naturally worthy of his beloved daughter. But as Meng Jiuxiao expected, you can't agree to Zhuo Mufeng's words immediately, as if you can't wait to have your daughter. I, Wu Guanting, also want to lose face.
of.
When it came to this kind of thing, Wu Guanting's quick thinking made him choke for a moment, and the situation became very embarrassing. If it weren't for Meng Jiuxiao, there might have been some misunderstanding.
Zhuo Mufeng received Meng Jiuxiao's suggestion. He glanced over and found that the eldest lady was pale and had a sad expression, and he felt a sense of self-blame in his heart.
Looking at Wu Guanting again, he saw his adoptive father smiling awkwardly, thinking that he would fight for happiness for the rest of his life. Fu Zhi said in his heart: "Father, since you are unwilling to accept the Hexiang Pill, you might as well take this as my gift."
How about a betrothal gift?"
No one thought that Zhuo Mufeng was taking advantage. For Jianghu people, especially people of Wu Guanting's level, a Hexiang Pill was worth a fortune.
Meng Jiuxiao gave a teachable look, then clasped her fists at Wu Guanting and said: "Alliance leader, Mu Feng is talented and has a good character. The eldest lady is beautiful, gentle and gentle, and she is a man with talent and a woman. It is even more rare for them to be in love with each other. You
Let’s fulfill them!”
It can be seen that this Lord Meng Shenjun really has good intentions and has already spoken without hesitation in order to bring the two of them together.
Zhuo Mufengxin said, I do have a good character, but where is the gentleness and grace of the eldest lady? Why didn't I see it?
Song Lele, Min Huaixiang and others were also good people. When they saw this, they also clasped their fists and said good things for Zhuo Mufeng.
With everyone's full recommendation, Wu Guanting finally found the right path. When he saw his beloved daughter clenching her hands nervously, she secretly sighed that she would not be able to stay in college, and then looked at Zhuo Mufeng solemnly: "Mufeng, as a father, I can promise you.
But you must promise not to let girl Yuan suffer any injustice in the future, otherwise, even if you are a father, you will not forgive me lightly!"
