Seeing Gan Taiwen in the middle, Wu Xiangyun had no choice but to disperse his aura. At the same time, he looked at Gan Taiwen in astonishment.
The Wu family was in a difficult situation, and Gan Taiwen had come to discuss how to deal with the Wei family. Although he was puzzled as to why the always neutral City Lord Manor would choose to ally with him, he was more than happy to do so. Thus, he followed Gan Taiwen to the City Lord Manor.
However, he didn't expect to see the person he didn't want to see the most in the City Lord's Mansion.
Quan Yong was once one of the young guards he valued the most. Otherwise, he would not have made him responsible for his daughter's safety.
However, he did not expect that the young guard he trusted the most would steal his daughter's heart.
This was what angered him the most. Most importantly, he felt that he had been deceived and betrayed. That was why he did everything he could to prevent the two of them from being together.
More than ten years had passed, and since then, Quan Rongrong had never called him father, nor had she ever left the house again. She had been washing her face with tears all day long, and his heart ached when he saw this. However, he blamed all of this on Quan Yong. He believed that if Quan Yong had stuck to his role, none of this would have happened.
Thus, he lost his composure and burned with anger.
"That person is my lord's friend."
Although Gan Taiwen did not understand the reason, he reminded Wu Xiangyun in a low voice out of goodwill. At the same time, he worried for Wu Xiangyun.
If this fellow offended the lord before him, the Wu family would be at the end of its days.
In truth, he had a good relationship with Wu Xiangyun, and they both admired each other. That was why he did this.
"My lord's friend."
Wu Xiangyun looked at him in astonishment. At the same time, he noticed that the atmosphere in the great hall was not quite right.
My lord.
His heart trembled.
Someone whom Gan Taiwen called 'my lord' could not be ordinary.
Immediately, his gaze fell on Feng Hao.
Just a glance was enough to make his hair stand on end.
It was too terrifying. Although the young man in front of him looked very young, the aura that he exuded gave him a creepy feeling. It was as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. As long as the other party moved, he would be torn into pieces.
"Where did this expert come from?"
There was a flash of horror in his eyes as he lowered his head.
In fact, he was even more surprised at how Quan Yong, whom he had chased away all those years ago, managed to form a relationship with such a person.
"Patriarch."
Seeing Wu Xiangyun walk in, Quan Yong could no longer sit still. He stood up and respectfully bowed to him.
Back then, Wu Xiangyun had indeed treated him very well. In fact, he felt quite guilty that something like this had happened. However, when love came, he couldn't control it.
"Humph."
Although Wu Xiangyun did not attack him directly, he snorted coldly and turned his head away, ignoring him.
"Uh …"
A trace of sadness flashed across Quan Yong's face. After which, he cupped his hands towards Feng Hao and said, "Grandmaster, the Patriarch was impatient for a moment. Please do not blame him."
What kind of status did Feng Hao have? Not only was he a heaven-rank alchemist, but he was also an existence that the city lord addressed as' sir '. If he was angered, even the Wu Family would not be able to survive.
His words caused the entire hall to turn silent. The three of them were waiting for Feng Hao's verdict.
"Hehe …"
After a while, Feng Hao put down the teacup in his hand and chuckled softly. His laughter was very light, and no one could hear any fluctuations in his emotions. In the hall, only his laughter reverberated. An invisible pressure shrouded the heads of the three of them. Wu Xiangyun's forehead was also covered with sweat.
"This time, for Big Brother Quan's sake, I will not pursue this matter."
Hearing this sentence, the three of them couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Especially Wu Xiangyun, who felt as if he had just escaped from the jaws of a tiger.
For Big Brother Quan's sake.
His heart trembled again. He felt a sour and spicy taste in his mouth.
He didn't expect that he would have to rely on this former guard of his family to survive.
The world was unpredictable.
Everyone had their own opportunities. Quan Yong was no exception.
He thought of his ancestor's teachings.
Didn't his ancestor rely on a fortuitous encounter to create the current Wu Family?
"Thank you, Grandmaster."
Looking at Feng Hao who had a faint smile on his face, Quan Yong's heart was filled with gratitude. He already didn't know what to say.
He knew that everything Feng Hao was doing now was for his sake. He wanted the Wu Family to accept him.
"This Lord is really different …"
Gan Taiwen's eyes flickered with a strange light.
Any genius disciple would be proud and arrogant. How could they be as humble as they were now? If someone dared to offend them, they would definitely kill them immediately. How could there be any explanation?
"Wu Family Head, do you know why I'm here?"
Feng Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. He released a wisp of pressure as he asked Wu Xiangyun indifferently.
"I … don't know."
The aura that was as vast as a mountain and as vast as the sea made Wu Xiangyun's heart tremble. He didn't dare to be disrespectful. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at those eyes.
In fact, he was already very clear that all of this was because of Quan Yong. It was just that he couldn't accept it at the moment.
"If you don't know, then I'll tell you clearly."
The corners of Feng Hao's mouth curled up slightly as he said indifferently. "This is Big Brother Quan's idea. Otherwise, your Wu Family's survival would have nothing to do with me."
His words were merciless and he gave all the credit to Quan Yong. At that moment, Wu Xiangyun's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
"Brother Wu, Lord is here to help your Wu Family. Hurry up and thank him."
Seeing that Wu Xiangyun didn't speak for a long time, Gan Taiwen seemed to have understood something and tried to persuade him.
The guard who eloped with the daughter of the Wu Family was called Quan Yong.
At that time, it caused a huge uproar. However, Wu Xiangyun didn't pay attention to it. Now that he looked at it, it seemed that this Lord was actually invited by that guard.
This kind of opportunity made him extremely envious.
"Thank you, Lord."
Wu Xiangyun suppressed the various emotions in his heart and respectfully cupped his hands towards Feng Hao.
No matter what, he couldn't treat his Wu Family as a joke.
"There's no need to thank me. This time, I only managed to survive because Big Brother Quan helped me. So, if you want to thank someone, then thank Big Brother Quan."
Feng Hao didn't feel the slightest bit of pressure. Instead, he winked at Quan Yong, indicating that it was time for him to perform.
Although this stubborn old man wasn't bad, it wasn't easy to change his mind. However, Feng Hao still had a way to deal with this kind of person.
Using force wouldn't work. So, he could only use the soft approach.
