Feng Qingwu looked at Zhou Luo's smiling face, almost showing off, and said, "I have successfully mastered you", which made her feel helpless.
Zhou Luo smiled gently, but his next words seemed to be a bit sweet: "How about it, Chief Feng, are you going to ask again why no one from the Xia family comes to see you here?"
"Of course not."
Feng Qingwu sneered: "Although I don't have any evidence, just like you insisting on guessing that I will come out of thin air, if you follow my style of doing things, then I can make another guess about the Xia family."
Zhou Luo raised his eyebrows: "But I heard the details, Chief Feng."
In the study room with only the flickering candlelight, Feng Qingwu clasped his fingers on the table, and his soft voice echoed in the room. It seemed a bit empty, but more importantly, it was full of strong and strategizing confidence.
She whispered: "I will not be responsible for what happens next - the Xia family is not cooperating with Duobao Pavilion, but relying on Duobao Pavilion."
"Or maybe it's not Duobao Pavilion itself, but you, Mr. Zhou."
In the study room, this sentence was so resounding that it even... seemed quite whimsical. No one in the outside world would dare to believe a word of it.
What kind of family is the Xia family?
Although it is not comparable to those big forces and sects, because they control Luochuan City and even have earth-level alchemists like Xia Henghe, why would the Xia family be so reluctant to rely on other forces?
Therefore, if Feng Qingwu hadn't said these words in the study, and if it hadn't been for the person sitting in front of her, and the only person who heard these words was Zhou Luo, I'm afraid it would have directly caused everyone to laugh in unison.
But after Feng Qingwu said such "ridiculous" words, the atmosphere in the entire study fell into dead silence. Zhou Luo didn't say a word, just stared at Feng Qingwu closely.
And just like retaliating for Zhou Luo's words just now, Feng Qingwu suddenly laughed after seeing him: "How about it, Master Zhou is going to ask me how I guessed?"
"In fact, it's not difficult. Just like you guessed that I would definitely come to Luochuan City. When faced with trouble, my first choice is to solve the problem in advance. So the same goes for you -"
"Businessmen are profit-seeking. Even if I am not a businessman, according to my thinking, I still want to obtain more profits to support my practice. As the son of the Pavilion Master of Duobao Pavilion, it is only natural for you."
As Feng Qingwu spoke, she clasped her fingers on the table and continued slowly: "The Xia family holds an alchemist gathering every year. This is a long-term and foreseeable high-profit business."
"If Duobao Pavilion intervenes in it, it will definitely make a lot of money, so when there were faint rumors that Duobao Pavilion would cooperate with the Xia family every year, I could understand it."
Hearing this, Zhou Luo paused: "But how did Chief Feng get involved with me?"
"Originally I didn't think much about it, but when I saw Mr. Zhou here, I had to think about it more."
Seeing that Zhou Luo was a little surprised, and even showed a trace of confusion in his eyes, Feng Qingwu explained: "You are just the son of the Pavilion Master, and you are the heir of Duobao Pavilion, which are two different concepts."
"But many people tend to ignore this point, so they take your presence here as a matter of course. But I have never felt that way because I have never seen you sitting in Duobao Pavilion before."
"Then if you appear here not to sit in Duobao Pavilion or to appear as the son of the master of Duobao Pavilion - you might as well make your thoughts more vague."
When Feng Qingwu said this, Zhou Luo had already understood, his face darkened, and he said directly: "If I didn't do it to control Duobao Pavilion, then I might do it to control my own power."
Hearing this, Feng Qingwu just nodded with a smile, and there was basically no need for her to say the next words. Based on the similarities in their acting styles, Zhou Luo could already understand her brain circuit.
As expected, the next moment Zhou Luo continued: "The only special things here are the alchemist gathering and the Xia family. There must be a relationship between me and the two."
"Of course, compared to the alchemist gathering, the Xia family is more valuable, so Mr. Zhou, the only person you can have a relationship with is the Xia family."
Feng Qingwu made a summary directly, but then she changed the topic and looked at Zhou Luo curiously: "However, I still have a question."
"What?"
"There are only two scenarios I can guess - one is that you did use some methods to subdue the Xia family, but the Xia family really didn't have this need. Could it be that you made some promise?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Luo, who originally felt that he was being manipulated, raised his eyebrows and subconsciously wanted to speak.
But he didn't expect Feng Qingwu to interrupt him again before that: "Of course, I personally prefer the second possibility, which is that you had already invested before the Xia family and Xia Henghe rose."
When Feng Qingwu finished speaking, the whole study was completely silent again, and you could hear a pin drop.
Zhou Luo's expression had already answered Feng Qingwu's question well, and it wasn't until a moment later that he finally took a deep breath and said, "Yes, you guessed it right, Chief Feng -"
"So, I am really interested in you. There is clearly no evidence, but you can infer my situation according to your own style, just like I can find you."
"I have to say that I am becoming more and more interested in you, and I am even more looking forward to your performance at the younger generation disciple exchange conference in three years' time."
As if he had completely given up the struggle, the entanglement and contradiction in Zhou Luo's eyes had completely disappeared.
Beside the desk, it seemed that the breath exhaled when breathing and the candlelight flickered, but they were not as good as Zhou Luo's gaze staring closely at him at this moment.
Hotter than the clusters of candles, it was like seeing the same kind, and a similar other half...
Feng Qingwu frowned slightly and couldn't help but look away. She didn't want to look at Zhou Luo, nor did she want to pick up the topic he just talked about.
This guy Zhou Luo...
What exactly are you thinking about...
