Chapter 50 is just giving me shoes to wear, still a bit short
This incredibly powerful old man is Ling Fei Yang's master?
Wan Kui Jing De was first surprised, then suddenly enlightened. It made sense that with Ling Fei Yang's identity, having such a powerful master wasn't unusual.
However, the next scene made them feel strange, and it was not just strange, but also left them aghast.
The old man smiled and pinched Ling Feiyang's collar with one hand, throwing him to the side. Then he looked at Zhuge Mingyue with a warm smile: "Hmm, are you okay?"
Wan Qi Jingde and the others were puzzled. Isn't this old man Ling Feiyang's master? Why is he more concerned about Zhuge Mingyue? Moreover, they felt that he seemed to be very familiar with Zhuge Mingyue, but Zhuge Mingyue didn't seem to recognize him. Is this person from the Zhuge family? No, the Zhuge and Ling families have never gotten along, so how could Ling Feiyang's master be a member of the Zhuge family? For a moment, Wan Qi Jingde and the others were completely baffled by what was going on.
"I'm fine, thank you for saving me." Zhuge Mingyue was taken aback, looking at the old man's benevolent smile. In her heart, a strange feeling arose, although it was their first meeting, the old man gave her an unprecedented sense of intimacy, as if he were a long-lost elder relative.
"Master..." Ling Feiyang gazed at his master with a resentful expression, but his master completely ignored him, smiling brightly as he looked at Zhuge Mingyue.
"You're still too weak and need to intensify your training." The old man turned his head to look at Ling Feiyang, his face stern as he lectured.
"Yes." Ling Feiyang nodded his head in response.
"Very good, very good, you're really good." The old man turned his head again to look at Zhuge Mingyue, smiling inexplicably as he repeated this sentence.
Zhuge Mingyue originally wanted to ask the old man how to address him, but after he finished speaking, he let out a long laugh and turned around with a light swing of his sleeve. His movements didn't seem fast, but he was like a gentle breeze, his feet not touching the ground as he disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye. Soon, his slightly hunched figure turned into a black dot before vanishing from sight.
Wan Jiede was shocked in his heart, but he had also come back to his senses. The people who had been ambushing them earlier were all dead soldiers, and the survivors had all poisoned themselves to death. And that soul bowman, Wan Jiede understood the man's identity. It was Wu Kaifeng, the master of the Wu family. He had heard that Wu Kaifeng had advanced to become a soul bowman, but he didn't think it was true. And when Wu Kaifeng appeared, the old man had already gone far away.
Some people stayed to clean up the mess, while Wan Jiede led the crowd back to the Wan Jie mansion first. On the way, Zhuge Mingyue asked Ling Feiyang in a low voice: "Feiyang, is that person your master? He seems very powerful."
Ling Feiyang smiled and nodded, "Master is indeed very strong. We'll meet again in the future. I'll introduce you then." Ling Feiyang couldn't quite figure out what kind of relationship Master had with Mingyue, and since Master told him to keep it a secret, he naturally kept it under wraps, waiting for Master to explain things to Mingyue himself later on.
"Miss Zhuge, Ling Xiao, I'm really sorry about this. It was originally a matter between our family and the Pang Wu families, but it ended up dragging you both in."
"Grandpa, who was that person just now..."
"He is the master of the Wu family, Wu Kaiyuan!" said Wan Jiede with certainty. "A soul-level archer, who else in Cangfeng City has a reason to ambush us besides him?"
"Has he really advanced to become a Soul Archer?!" Wan Xi Yishan was shocked, his facial expression also becoming even more solemn.
"So, old master, how are you going to deal with this?" Zhuge Mingyue pondered and said, "Now the Wu family actually dares to openly assassinate."
"It's just the Wu family, we're not afraid of them, but now that they've joined forces with the Pang family, it's really troublesome." Wan Jiede's face turned solemn, his brow furrowed with worry.
Wan Xi Chen also scrunched up his face, at this time he really hated himself, if only he was stronger, strong enough to protect his loved ones, protect his family, that would be great!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall became depressed, and several people from the Wan family had gloomy faces.
Zhuge Mingyue slightly furrowed her brow, unintentionally touching her own purse. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she spoke out loud: "If the Wu family and the Pang family can join forces, then why can't you, the Wanqi family, find an ally too?"
Wan Qi Jingde and Wan Qi Yishan were stunned, then bitterly smiled: "Miss Zhuge, it's not that easy. In Cang Feng City, apart from our three families, they are all small families, who dares to stir up this muddy water? The families of other cities will not interfere with our affairs."
"What I'm referring to as a helper, isn't them." Zhuge Mingyue jingled the purse and narrowed her eyes with a bright smile, "I suddenly thought of an excellent helper."
"It's impossible even if we spend money." Wan Qi Jing De looked at Zhuge Ming Yue's actions, apparently misunderstanding her meaning, and smiled bitterly. "Miss Zhuge's kindness, we appreciate it, but..."
"Old master, you misunderstood." Zhuge Mingyue's eyes sparkled as she glanced around the hall at the remaining servants, then winked, "This helper doesn't need money, it's free."
Wan Xi Jingde was stunned, Wan Xi Chen had already been born, and ordered the servants in the great hall to immediately withdraw.
After making sure no outsider was around, Zhuge Mingyue took out a crumpled and yellowed map from his money bag and said with a smile: "Old master, from today on, this will be the heirloom of your Wan Qi family!"
"What?" Wan Qi Jing De's mouth was agape as he stared at the crumpled paper in Zhuge Mingyue's hand, his mind completely bewildered. What did it mean? What on earth did it mean?
Wan Qi Chen and Ling Fei Yang vaguely understood Zhuge Mingyue's plan, both of their hearts were shocked.
"Mingyue, you mean...?" Ling Feiyang hesitated for a moment, "Is this okay? Isn't it too risky?"
"Yes, I also think..." Wan Xizhen was somewhat worried.
"The snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman benefits." Zhuge Mingyue smiled with a hint of profundity.
"What?" Mo Ye Jing De was somewhat perplexed.
Zhuge Mingyue handed the map to Wan Qi Chen, smiling: "Old man, you just need to do this..." Zhuge Mingyue's voice dropped down, only a few people in the great hall could hear.
"What!" Wan Qi Jingde looked at the map in Wan Qi Chen's hand, after listening to Zhuge Mingyue's plan, his face had already changed greatly. Looking again at Zhuge Mingyue's gaze, it had completely changed. Luo Xiao, this map was actually Luo Xiao's! Zhuge Mingyue and the others had killed Luo Xiao.
"This plan is great." Wan Xi Yishan's eyes lit up, his gaze at the blueprint almost turned green. After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhuge Mingyue again, feeling as if he was seeing the girl in front of him for the first time. Zhuge Mingyue, with such strategic thinking, such bravery, and such talent, yet being exiled to this place by the Zhuge family... He dared to say that in the future, the Zhuge family would definitely pay a heavy price for this, and would regret it until their intestines turned green.
"Miss Zhuge, you trust us and help us like this..." Wan Jiede was extremely moved, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ling Feiyang.
"Don't ever say you have nothing to repay, unless you're willing to let your grandson pay with his own life." Ling Feiyang's tone was somewhat teasing.
Wan Qi Jing De's old face turned slightly red, Wan Qi Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and silently turned his head to one side. Wan Qi Jing De's old face turned red because he indeed had such plans in mind. Although Zhuge Ming Yue was the illegitimate daughter of the Zhuge family, she was indeed a member of the Zhuge family. Moreover, when Zhuge Ming Yue summoned the Wind Leopard and spoke of those plans, he understood more than anyone that the girl before him was no ordinary person; given time, she would surely soar to great heights, unstoppable. If... but that was just an if. It seemed that she only regarded her grandson as a friend after all.
"Alright, Fei Yang, don't make this kind of joke." Zhuge Mingyue saw Wan Jiede's awkward expression and spoke up to help him out, "It's not suitable to delay, Old Master, you should arrange things as soon as possible."
"Good!" Wan Qi Jing De suddenly stood up, excitedly nodding repeatedly, then snatched the drawings over. This time, Wu and Pang families, just wait for a good show!
……
The next day, both the Wu and Pang families received news leaked by their people in the Wan Qi Fu. Wan Qi Jing De finally couldn't hold back anymore, took out his treasured items and prepared to go to the capital to seek help from others.
However, the team that escorted the treasure was robbed thirty miles outside of Cangfeng City! The treasure was also taken by the robbers. For the Wan Qi family, it was truly a disaster. This news spread throughout Cangfeng City in the blink of an eye.
At this time when many people in Cangfeng City sympathized with the Wan Qi family, the study of the Wan Qi family was extremely calm.
"This group of foolish birds has indeed hijacked the merchant caravan." said Wan Xi Chen with a scornful tone.
"Fatty, shut up! Don't insult our noble bird species!" The parrot on Zhuge Mingyue's head squawked and flapped its wings to peck at Wan Qi Chen as soon as it heard him say that.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. Handsome guy, you're the smartest bird, those people are idiots, can't even be mentioned in the same breath as you, and it's not even worth giving you a shoe to shine." Wan Xi Chen covered his head and begged for mercy.
"That's right, I'm still a bit short of giving you a shoe." The parrot fluttered its wings and landed back on Zhuge Mingyue's head.
"Do you have shoes? Does a broken bird still need to wear shoes?" Zhuge Ming glared at him and pulled him down from his head. This guy, every time he's so arrogant squatting on his own head, it's really asking for a beating.
"Now that the next step is ready, we can spread the news." Wan Jiede's eyes narrowed, "But I didn't expect that our Wan family actually has a traitor." A flash of pain and regret passed through Wan Jiede's eyes, followed by anger and determination. After this incident, he must deal with these traitors in the Wan family.
Originally, Wan Qi Jingde thought that releasing the news would still require some effort to let those who were chasing the drawings and Wu Jia, Pang Jia converge. As a result, things took a turn for the better and became simpler.
The Wu family's aggressive behavior brought unforeseen disaster upon themselves.
Originally wanted to move a stone to hit others' feet, but the stone was too heavy, and when lifted, it hit their own head!
