They talked a lot on the way, and in a blink of an eye, the two arrived at Er Zhu's house again. As soon as they entered, Feng Changting saw the mountain-like pile of precious medicinal herbs on the coffee table.
"Old Feng, these are all for you. Take them all, don't be polite with me."
Seeing Old Feng's eyes light up, Er Zhu pointed to the coffee table and slightly shifted his body, clearing a path.
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, Old Feng rushed over. Looking at the dazzling array of rare medicinal herbs, he was incredibly excited!
These were all rare treasures, and some of the Chinese medicinal herbs he had never even seen before!
"Boss Wang, I have an impertinent request I want to discuss with you. You must agree!"
Thinking of Er Zhu's generosity and his superb medical skills, Feng Changting grabbed Er Zhu's wrist and looked at him with almost pleading eyes.
"Boss Wang, I admire you immensely. How about I take you as my adopted son?"
Before Er Zhu could speak, Feng Changting asked excitedly, increasing the strength with which he held Er Zhu's hand.
Although the Feng family had many descendants, very few were outstanding, and even fewer possessed excellent medical skills. Those with such a magnanimous heart were almost nonexistent!
Since fate had led him to meet such an excellent person, how could he let him go!
"Okay, from today onwards, you are my adopted father!"
Looking at Old Feng's aged face, Er Zhu thought of his deceased grandfather. This made him change his mind, though he had initially intended to refuse.
Now, he was alone in the world, and being able to connect with Old Feng was a blessing from heaven.
Moreover, he could return to the capital in this capacity, and the Chen family would definitely not know it was him!
Thinking of the Chen family, a hint of anger flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. Old Feng was startled. Although the expression felt familiar, he couldn't recall who it was.
"Good child, adopted father will take you to the capital now!"
Seeing Er Zhu nod, Old Feng's eyes turned red, and he pulled Er Zhu towards the door.
He wanted to announce this to the world and make everyone happy for him!
"No, adopted father, I can't leave with you now. Firstly, I don't want others to say I relied on the Feng family's influence to go to the capital. Secondly, I am still the village chief of Shiliu Village, and Shiliu Village has not yet achieved overall prosperity, so I cannot leave!"
Before Old Feng could take a few steps, Er Zhu suddenly stopped him, his gaze firm and undeniable.
To be honest, he could return to the capital with Old Feng now, but if he did, he would have to rely on the Feng family's power for revenge, and that was not what he wanted!
He wanted to rely on his own abilities to make that bitch from the Chen family kneel and beg for mercy, or even to destroy the Chen family!
"Oh... alright, a good child with ambition. I'll wait for you in the capital, but if you need anything, tell adopted father. Adopted father will help you solve it!"
Old Feng wanted to persuade him, but seeing Er Zhu's resolute gaze, he could only nod.
Alas, how could the gap between people be so vast?
His descendants spent their days flaunting their connections, trying to bask in his glory and act imperiously. Only Er Zhu wanted to rely on himself!
Old Feng sighed. Thinking of his disappointing descendants, he looked at Er Zhu again, his admiration and affection for him growing even stronger.
Old Feng handed over all the Feng family's properties in Huabei City to Er Zhu. After giving a few more instructions, he reluctantly left Shiliu Village. By then, it was already dark.
After dinner, Er Zhu lay on the kang and cultivated. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard rustling sounds in the courtyard.
Someone was here!
And they carried a strong killing intent!
A spark of light flashed in Er Zhu's eyes as he saw two agile masked men leap into his yard.
Miao family bodyguards!
Upon seeing the special symbols of the Miao family bodyguards on the collars of the masked men, the spark in Er Zhu's eyes instantly vanished.
Since it was the Miao family coming to kill him, he knew who it was!
Miao Xiu and Miao Hao!
These two were vying to become the patriarch!
They thought killing him would make them patriarch, but alas, these mere pawns couldn't kill him!
At this moment, the masked men had already entered the house. When they saw only Er Zhu inside, one of the men looked somewhat speechless.
They had handpicked these experts to kill one person?
Did the young master have a screw loose...
"Lin Mo, don't underestimate this guy. His skills are excellent, and his strength is by no means inferior to ours!"
Just as the man was getting angry and about to leave, the man beside him suddenly spoke.
This person was Wu Feng, Miao Hao's personal bodyguard, a mercenary king who had crawled out of a sea of corpses and blood!
"Tch, just a weak merchant. What strength could he possibly have?"
Lin Mo scoffed and casually pushed the door open, swaggering towards Er Zhu.
He had initially thought Wu Feng was a hero, but now he realized he was just a coward!
No matter how good a country bumpkin's skills were, how could they compare to theirs? This idiot!
Lin Mo grinned, pulled out a foot-long dagger from his waist. The dagger gleamed coldly in the moonlight, looking extremely sharp!
Seeing Lin Mo actually take out a dagger, Wu Feng stood at the doorway with his arms crossed, his eyes full of disdain.
He had heard that Lin Mo was a martial arts champion in China and thought he was both cultured and capable, but he turned out to be just a brute!
Fine, he would just watch and see how this guy killed Wang Er Zhu!
"Tch, good-for-nothing!"
Seeing Wu Feng not follow, Lin Mo assumed Wu Feng was afraid. He cursed under his breath.
But it was better if he didn't come. That way, all the credit would go to their young master Miao Xiu, and when Miao Xiu became patriarch, he would also be promoted and get rich!
"Kid, die!"
With that thought, Lin Mo raised his dagger, let out a loud shout, and then lunged towards Er Zhu's forehead with the fastest speed possible!
His speed was so fast that Wu Feng couldn't even see an afterimage!
Instantly, a cold glint flashed in the room, and the dagger was about to touch Er Zhu!
But at this moment, Er Zhu moved. He grabbed Lin Mo's wrist and, before Lin Mo could react, bent it forcefully. With a *swoosh*, the dagger plunged into the upper part of Lin Mo's chest!
Bright red blood flowed out instantly. It took three seconds for Lin Mo to feel the heart-wrenching pain!
"Ah!"
Lin Mo clutched the dagger and sat down on the ground. A trace of fear flashed in his shocked eyes!
Wang Er Zhu's speed was too fast, so fast that even he couldn't react!
At this moment, he finally understood that Wu Feng's words were not alarmist but a kind reminder!
His strength was indeed superior to his!
Hearing Lin Mo's wail, Wu Feng didn't even bother to wipe the blood splattered on his face and ran out frantically. The young master had instructed him that this matter must not be exposed!
Within a few breaths, Wu Feng had already leaped onto the courtyard wall. With one more jump, he could escape!
"Wang Er Zhu, you won't catch me!"
Wu Feng wiped the blood from his face and grinned. Just as he was about to leap, the scene before him stunned him!
