Chapter 118: One Condition

  Great!

  I'm telling you to keep pretending!

  Murong Yan looked at Zhang Qingfa with a cold gaze, secretly ridiculing him in her heart. She let out a cold snort and then said, "Hmph, stop pretending! Was it or was it not you who spread the news about what happened this morning?"

  "What's going on this morning? What don't I know?"

  Zhang Qingfa pulled a person over from the side and asked in confusion: "Hey, brother, tell me, what happened this morning?"

  That person who was dragged over by Zhang Qingfa, as soon as he heard that he had to participate in this matter, immediately cried out loudly and pitifully: "Ah! Big brother, don't play with me, okay? Now, who doesn't know about the relationship between you and this big sister? You just magnanimously spare little brother me, okay? Little brother still wants to live a few more years!"

  "Ah!"

  Zhang Qingfa suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and stammered: "That... I... I really... really don't know about this!"

  Murong Yan rolled her eyes, clearly not believing what the other person was saying.

  Seeing Murong Yan's disbelief, Zhang Qingfan hastily said: "I'm telling the truth. Last night I went to Jingting Lake to wait for you and waited all night, but you didn't show up. I thought it had been so long and you still hadn't arrived, so I left. I was even heartbroken and disappointed, and on that stone tablet, I carved the words 'Zhang Qingfan visited here' just to prove that I spent those nights waiting for you."

  What Zhang Qingfa said was truly heartbreaking, and it moved heaven and earth to sorrow. Those who heard it were deeply saddened!

  "Ah!"

  Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from among the crowd.

  "What's wrong?"

  "What he said is true! This morning, when I passed by Jingting Lake, I found that there were some words engraved on the stone tablet by the lake. I was curious for a moment, so I walked over to take a look. Guess what I found?"

  "What did you find?"

  "I found that the content written by those words is just as he said, 'Zhang Qingfa came here for a tour'. At first, I thought it was some disciple playing a prank, so I didn't take it to heart. Now it seems, these words were indeed written by him."

  "Hmm, now that you mention it, I think I remember something too. I also passed by there and saw some words carved on the stone tablet. However, at the time, I was in a hurry and didn't pay close attention, so I'm not very clear what those words said. Vaguely, I seem to recall seeing a character 'one'. Also, the strokes of those characters were extremely clear, and the surrounding carvings looked new, so it's obvious that someone had carved them recently."

  "Right, no mistake, I also saw it, indeed those few words!"

  "Ah, yes! Those few words!"

  "I also saw it, those few words!"

  ......

  More and more people claim to have seen those words, and they are exactly the same as what Zhang Qingfa said. It seems that the other party has indeed been to Jingting Lake. Is what the other party said true?

  Murong Yan furrowed his brow, stunned for a moment, and also had some doubts whether his own inference was really wrong. In fact, this is not an inference, but just a kind of intuition.

  At first, her intuition told her that this must be Zhang Qingfa's doing, so she didn't hesitate at all, turned around and rushed towards Linmen, wanting to tear him apart alive.

  But now she's in doubt!

  Moreover, she also has her own fault in this matter, which is that she did not fulfill her initial promise.

  What Zhang Qingfa said earlier also had some impact on her decision-making to a certain extent!

  Zhang Qingfa saw the other's hesitant and frowning expression, and his heart was greatly pleased. "Haha, of course it's true! Not only are there words I've written, but also a bottle of fine old wine that this old master has been saving for many days!"

  He never thought that what was originally just a momentary whim, a malicious prank, would end up saving his own skin today, truly a stroke of good luck!

  After a moment of silence, Murong Yan's eyebrows finally relaxed, and he let out a cold snort. "Hmph, even if you didn't do this thing, it must be related to you somehow. In any case, you have to give me an explanation. Otherwise, humph, you can just wait for the Red Flower Society to declare war on you!"

  As the president of the Red Flower Society, she is naturally very qualified to say this, and no one will doubt the truth of her words, including Zhang Qingfa.

  This made Zhang Qingfa feel depressed, where can I go to find a scapegoat for you. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure hiding in the crowd, that figure was dodging and covering up in the crowd.

  Upon seeing this comical scene, Zhang Qingfa burst out laughing at Murong Yan: "Haha, I know who's behind this now!"

  In a flash, he suddenly appeared in a place with more people, pulled out one person and put him in front of everyone.

  Zhang Qingfa looked at the person in front of him, with a very serious expression, and said: "Old Jiang, is this thing done by you? Hmph, no need to say, it must be you who did it. Otherwise, how would I not know about this thing this morning?"

  "Now among the Lin family members, apart from me and Yang Ge, your power is the greatest. Only you have the ability to make me unaware of what happened, so who else can it be besides you?"

  "I didn't expect this, Old Jiang! I've always treated you well, but today you've done something that really pains me! You should know that Yang Ge and I have always considered you as a trusted partner, but it turns out you're actually this kind of person!"

  "Hurry up and go apologize to Murong Mei, otherwise I will definitely not forgive you easily!"

  After finishing speaking, he kicked the other person away with one foot.

  "Murong Hui Chang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken nonsense, please forgive me!"

  Jiang Ming also had no choice, the deputy door master had already spoken, and the implied meaning was very clear. If he didn't do as the other side said, then in the following days, he would have a very difficult time!

  At this time, Zhang Qingfa suddenly walked over and kicked Jiang Ming away with one foot. He put on a smiling face and said to Murong Yan with a smile: "Beauty, I think it's settled. I've already severely punished him just now. I believe he will never make the same mistake again. You can be generous and forgive him this time?"

  My god, you kicked him twice and said you've severely punished him? You dare to say that!

  Everyone was left speechless!

  Murong Yanzhi quietly watched the scene in front of her, seemingly unmoved by the other person's apology. After a few seconds, she glanced at Jiang Ming and smiled slightly at Zhang Qing, saying: "If you want me to forgive you, it's not impossible. However, you have to agree to one condition!"
