"Haha …"
After listening, Fenghao opened his mouth and laughed, but Quan Yong looked embarrassed.
"I didn't expect Big Brother Quan to be so capable. You actually managed to trick your own clan's young miss into your hands. I admit that I am inferior to you."
Feng Hao teased and cupped his hands towards Quan Yong, causing Quan Yong's face to turn even redder and become speechless.
In fact, it was because Quan Yong had repeatedly risked his life to save her that Quan Rongrong developed a good impression of this big brother-like guard. Thus, the two of them started their relationship.
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I guarantee that Big Brother Quan will have a happy family. Haha …"
Once again, Fenghao patted Quan Yong's shoulder and hurriedly brought him back to Lanjiang City.
Lanjiang City was only a small city. That was why the Wei Clan, which had an expert at the level of Wu Huang, was able to proclaim itself as the overlord of Lanjiang City.
Although the city was small, it was comparable to the Yulan City where Feng Hao resided. However, the strongest expert here had already reached the peak of Wu Huang. The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Not far from the city gate, the two of them landed. Looking at the familiar scene before him, Quan Yong was a little excited. However, he was even more anxious.
It wasn't because he was worried about his own safety, but the situation of his lovely wife.
"Hehe, in order to make the Wu Clan willingly accept Big Brother Quan, we won't go to the Wu Clan first. Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first. I believe that Big Brother Quan should know the way."
Fenghao chuckled. The corners of his mouth carried a faint arc as he spoke to Quan Yong, causing the latter to wake up from his deep thoughts. After which, he looked at Fenghao in astonishment.
"To the City Lord's Mansion."
He didn't understand Feng Hao's intentions. The City Lord of every city was arranged by the Heavenly Academy. If the city suffered an irresistible destructive blow, the City Lord had the right to ask the Heavenly Academy for help.
Thus, the City Lord's position was unshakable in every city. Even if you were stronger than the City Lord, no one would dare to touch you. This was because the City Lord's backer was the Human Race's supreme academy.
"Could it be that you …"
Quan Yong stared blankly at Feng Hao, somewhat speechless.
Unless Feng Hao had connections with the other City Lords, the Lanjiang City Lord wouldn't want to see him even if he was strong.
For Feng Hao to be so confident at this moment, it was likely that his background was not simple.
"Let's go."
Fenghao wore an unfathomable smile on his face. Under the latter's stunned and shocked gaze, he strode forward and walked towards the city gate.
It was also because they saw that the two of them were extraordinary that the guards at the city gate did not dare to stop them. After passing through the thick and heavy city gate that was over ten meters long and entering the city, Fenghao acutely discovered that the atmosphere within the city seemed to be a little strange ….
Most of the shops on the city's main street were closed. The shops that were open all had the same signboard with the word "Wei" inlaid with gold.
At this moment, there were not many people walking on the wide street. The expected bustling scene was not there. Instead, it was dead and the atmosphere was very oppressive, like the omen before a storm.
"Could it be that … the Wu Family has already collapsed?"
Fenghao frowned, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared.
If the Wu Family had already been swallowed by the Wei Family, then things would be a little troublesome.
"Speaking of which, do you think the Wu Family will agree to the Wei Family's marriage proposal?"
Behind them, the guards at the city gate began to discuss, causing the two people who were about to leave to stop in their tracks.
"This time, the Wu Family will have to agree even if they don't want to. I heard that the Wei Family's Third Master unlocked seven chakras not long ago and advanced to the peak of the Wu Huang realm …"
A middle-aged guard with a face that seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life spoke with a solemn expression.
"Hiss … could it be true? If that's the case, doesn't that mean the Wei Family has two experts at the peak of the Wu Huang realm?"
The other three guards couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. They cried out in surprise with faces full of shock.
"If that wasn't the case, how would the Wei Family dare to force the Wu Family like this?"
The vicissitudes of life glanced at the young guards indifferently as he explained in a flat tone.
"Strange, then why would the Wei Family choose to marry that person from the Wu Family? I heard that she once eloped with a guard of the Wu Family and even had a son. Why has the Wei Family repeatedly proposed marriage to the Wu Family over the past decade or so …"
When these words came out of the young guard's mouth, Quan Yong, who was standing beside Feng Hao, could no longer remain calm. If it wasn't for Feng Hao holding him back, he would have charged straight into the Wei Family and risked his life.
"Don't worry big brother Quan, no one will be able to take sister-in-law away from me."
Fenghao's palm was like a huge mountain pressing down on Quan Yong's shoulder, causing him to be unable to move a single step. Those indifferent words, however, seemed to have some sort of magical power, causing him to slowly calm down.
"Sigh …"
Quan Yong sighed sorrowfully as tears appeared in his eyes. His fists were clenched so tightly that veins popped out.
Feng Hao knew that no matter what happened, Quan Yong would never just watch as Wu Rongrong was forcefully married off to the Wei Family.
"Humph."
The vicissitudes of life of the middle-aged guard snorted coldly as he listened to the young guards discuss a gossip that was no longer a secret. "Do you really think that the Wei Family values the Wu Family's daughter's beauty?"
"Then why?"
The young guards didn't know much about the world, so they looked at him blankly.
Back then, Quan Rongrong had been the number one beauty of Lanjiang City. Although more than a decade had passed, the title of number one beauty of Lanjiang City had never changed hands.
Therefore, many people couldn't understand why Wu Rongrong would elope with a guard from the Wei Family.
"What the Wei Family wants is not just Wu Rongrong, but … the entire Wu Family."
The vicissitudes of life of the middle-aged guard lowered his voice as he spoke.
From their words, Fenghao also understood the reason behind it.
Because of the city lord's checks and balances, even if the Wei Family could already suppress the Wu Family, they couldn't openly annex the Wu Family. Hence, they had come up with this unwise plan.
Although the Wu Family's head had more than one daughter, the Wei Family definitely had the means to promote Wu Rongrong to the position of head of the Wu Family.
"Let's go to the city lord's manor first."
A cold glint flashed across Feng Hao's eyes as he spoke in a low voice. He pulled Quan Yong along as the two of them headed straight for the city lord's manor.
"One of the three days has already passed. There are only two days left. Perhaps … in the future, the Wei Family will be the only one left in Lanjiang City …"
The vicissitudes of life of the middle-aged guard's sigh could be faintly heard from behind.
In the past, the Wu Family had kept the Wei Family in check. If this matter succeeded, the Wei Family would no longer have to worry about anything in Lanjiang City.
