Li Fenglan and the others saw that the person who opened the door was a woman in her thirties, well-maintained, but with a look of half-disgust and half-anger on her face, which was a bit off-putting.
The woman hugged her arms and said with great disgust: "Hey, isn't this the seventh child? He comes to us again to ask for money?"
Zhu Mingyu was very embarrassed. He secretly pointed at Li Fenglan and the others and whispered: "Sister-in-law, please give me some face. You are really not here to ask for money."
"Then what are you here for? Tell me."
"Is it okay if we talk at home?"
"no."
Having no choice, Zhu Mingyu had no choice but to say patiently: "Master, if you want to meet these two girls... just meet them and let me lend you this place."
The woman looked at Li Fenglan and Hu Hu. Li Fenglan had already taken off the cloth covering her face, and there were beads of sweat on her pretty face, which was quite pleasing.
The woman rolled her eyes at Zhu Mingyu and said, "Come in."
When everyone entered the yard, the woman shouted loudly: "Listen up, everyone, put away all the valuable things in the manor, don't let anyone worry about it."
Hu Bo asked Li Fenglan in a low voice: "Miss, is this Taoist Zhu very popular?"
"Stop talking and let people hear you."
Zhu Mingyu sighed and said, "I heard it...it's not that I'm not popular, it's my master...forget it."
The woman and Zhu Mingyu's third senior brother also heard what Hu Bo said. The woman said to Hu Bo and Li Fenglan, "Don't mind, sisters. I didn't say what I just said to you."
Entering the hall, we arranged for everyone to sit down and watch tea. The woman didn't give Zhu Mingyu a good look, and only prepared five chairs. After everyone sat down, Zhu Mingyu didn't have a seat. When Mu Yun saw the embarrassed Zhu Mingyu, he said, "Taoist Zhu, please sit here." He stood up.
Zhu Mingyu quickly pressed the button and said, "You're welcome, just sit down. I'm used to it."
After saying that, he went to the door and squatted.
After all, he was his own junior brother. The third senior brother loved him and said to his wife with a smile: "Coral, in front of outsiders, my junior brother looks so ugly squatting... please get a cushion."
"Oh, okay," Zhu Mingyu finally lost her temper, "I don't want to sit, squatting is fine, let's get down to business...these two girls came out of Chaolan Valley. This one's name is Li Fenglan, This is called Hu Hu. This young man is called Mu Yun, whom we met on the road."
Then he said to Li Fenglan and the others: "This is my third senior brother, Shi Jinsong, and this is my third sister-in-law, Pang Coral."
Pang Coral looked at Hu Hu and said with a smile, "Hu Hu is a good name."
Amber had a pure smile on her face: "I also have a sister named Jade."
"We will appreciate the jade later," Zhu Mingyu said. "You both know what happened eighteen years ago. Master has no other intention. He just wants to use the precious land to meet the two girls."
Shi Jinsong asked: "What about the master?"
"How did I know? I thought he had arrived first. If I had known he would come later, I wouldn't have accepted this job even if I were killed. What's wrong with me, Xianyun Yehe? I deserve to come to you and get a blank look."
"I don't like to hear what you are saying, Lao Qi," Pang Coral said a little angry, "What do you mean by being looked down upon? In the years since I have been married to your senior brother, how many of you have taken advantage of me? When have you never been able to obey me? A little bit."
"Sister-in-law, the master got it. Even if I came to get it, the master still let me get it. Our family is also a big family, and we give more to Guanli every year than you do here."
"Humph," Pang Coral sneered, "Seventh, my sister-in-law is not targeting you. You are a handsome young man. In the early years, you only studied under the teacher to cure your illness. Now that you are no longer sick, you should return to secular life and return home. Go and inherit your family business. What's the point of following your poor master?"
"Sister-in-law, let's stop arguing about this and let's get down to business."
"Isn't it finished? Lend me this place."
Zhu Mingyu thought about it, yes, isn't that the case? There's nothing else to say.
The atmosphere in the hall became awkward.
Amber has to be the one to break the embarrassment.
"Sister Coral, do you have anything to eat here? We've been traveling all day and all night."
…
Li Fenglan admired Amber very much. She never felt embarrassed when it came to eating. Li Fenglan could tell from the moment he walked in that master and apprentice Zhang Chengqing was really annoying, and none of his own apprentices wanted him to come in.
Fortunately, Pang Coral knew how to treat guests. It was just lunch time anyway, so he had some extra meals prepared.
At the dinner table, Hu Bo and Zhu Mingyu ate more happily than anyone else.
"Senior brother, it has to be the skill of your chef. I've been here so many times and never get tired of it."
Pang Coral said: "Let's be clear, it's my house."
Shi Jinsong said to Li Fenglan with a smile on his face: "Let the girl laugh, this little thing about my family is not enough for outsiders."
Li Fenglan didn't know what to say, so she could only say: "Understand, understand."
This meal was extremely embarrassing, except for Amber and Zhu Mingyu, of course. During the middle of the meal, Zhu Mingyu was scolded by Pang Hualan for a long time. Li Fenglan finally saw that Qingfengguan was really poor. I don't think a great martial arts master would be so poor, right?
Halfway through the meal, just when Li Fenglan couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere anymore, she heard someone shouting at the gate: "Jinsong! Jinsong!"
It was the voice of an old man, but it was loud and breathy.
Shi Jinsong and Zhu Mingyu hurriedly put down their bowls and chopsticks and went out to greet them. Pang Coral rolled his eyes again, but he didn't know who was rolling his eyes this time.
Not long after, the three people walked into the dining room. An old Taoist priest whose robes had been washed white walked in front of Shi Jinsong and Zhu Mingyu.
Zhu Mingyu said to Li Fenglan: "Miss Li, let me introduce you. This is my master. Master, this is Li Fenglan, this is Amber, and this is Muyun we met on the road."
Li Fenglan quickly stood up, cupped her hands, and said respectfully: "I have met Daozhang Zhang."
Zhang Chengqing looked at Li Fenglan with squinted eyes, saying nothing, with an uncertain expression on his face.
After a while, Zhang Chengqing said, "Mo Changfeng is only in his early fifties, right?"
Li Fenglan didn't know why and replied: "Yes."
"Why are you so old and stupid when you are only over fifty? What can you do by sending a few cute little girls out? Are you going to die?"
Zhang Chengqing is very similar to Li Changnian in speaking.
Before Li Fenglan could argue, she suddenly heard Pang Hualou say: "Oh, Master, I don't like hearing what you are saying. What do you mean by a cute little girl? I used to be a cute little girl, so why don't I still take care of this family business? You At such an old age, why don’t you understand the principle of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’?”
Hearing what his apprentice's wife said, the fiery-tempered Zhang Chengqing rarely smiled, even a little flattering.
"Haha, his wife, I didn't mean that either, I..."
"Stop it," Pang Coral said, "Don't talk when you're eating or sleeping. We're eating. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after eating."
Pang Coral is now the absolute leader in this room, and her words are the decree. After hearing what she said, Shi Jinsong and Zhu Mingyu hurried back to the table to eat. Zhang Chengqing was on the side, neither sitting nor standing.
The apprentice still felt sorry for his master. Shi Jinsong smiled and said, "Master, you don't look good standing here. Why don't you go to the living room and wait for a while."
"Okay," Zhu Mingyu said, "Don't take advantage of your words. Master, you haven't eaten, haven't you? Sit down quickly."
As he spoke, he moved a chair for Zhang Chengqing. Zhang Chengqing sat down, the expression on his face returned to the arrogant look before, and he said coldly: "I'm not hungry."
Pang Hualou said without raising his head: "Old Qi, eat more, you will still be hungry when you return to the temple. Your master, Xianfeng Daogu, has practiced Bigu Kungfu well, but you are not as good as anyone else."
Zhu Mingyu grinned: "Master, did you hear that? Stop being so arrogant. It's not easy to do in front of the third sister-in-law. Eat it. The stewed chicken legs today are pretty good. If you don't eat it, Miss Amber will finish it."
Zhang Chengqing was indeed hungry. He had been outside Baiying Villa last night and had been waiting for Zhu Mingyu to come. He also knew that his third apprentice's daughter-in-law was not forgiving, and she did not want to be the first to come and be looked down upon. Who knew that his apprentice would come so late, causing the old Taoist to starve outside the door all night.
Not long after the meal was over, Pang Coral looked at the clean dishes on the table and said sarcastically: "After this meal, there is no need to wash the dishes in the kitchen, it is too clean."
Zhu Mingyu looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you have wronged me. The person who eats the most is Miss Amber."
Pang Coral rolled his eyes again and ordered people to remove the dishes and clean them up. A room full of people sat around the table, staring at each other, just waiting for someone to speak.
"Ahem," Zhang Chengqing coughed dryly, feeling that he still had to act like a martial arts master, "Um... Li Fenglan, right?"
Li Fenglan replied: "Yes."
"That incident back then involved many people, and most of the martial arts world was involved. You should know about this. Let me ask you, even if the mastermind behind it is found out, what can you do?"
"Senior, the Shangguan family, the Li family, and our Changfeng Tower all need an explanation."
"Let me ask you, if the mastermind behind the scenes is found, what can you do? Kill them? What if the masterminds behind the scenes are more than 100 or 200 people? Kill them all?"
Li Fenglan said nothing.
"Hey," Zhang Chengqing said, "I understand how you feel. Pindao is not a person who advises people to be generous. But there are many things involved in this matter, and you can't kill them. What's more, the three families in the Jianghu family have been together for a long time. Even if nothing happened eighteen years ago, ten Things are still going to happen in eight years. Forget it."
Li Fenglan smiled and said calmly: "There are more than 400 people in Changfeng Tower, more than 100 people were killed, and more than 100 people were displaced. We also want to forget it, but, senior, do you know, Those people have no intention of letting us go. If my guess is correct, they have already begun to hunt down those disciples scattered in the rivers and lakes. If we didn't want to be patient, the original poster would have led people to kill us more than ten years ago. Even if we swallowed our anger, But can anyone bear it?"
These words stopped Zhang Chengqing and asked, yes, if Mo Changfeng is impeccable in everything he does, can he endure it, but can Li Fengyao do it? Qiao Fei has been poisoned to death. If Changfeng Tower still stands still, who will be poisoned next?
Li Fenglan stood up, walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back, and said: "Ask me, what will happen if we find out? I can answer you, if there are one or two people behind the scenes, then we will definitely have to pay with blood." . If there are a large number of people... then kill some and keep others. Of course, if the situation gets out of control in the end, I won’t count how many people will die."
