Zui Qingshan dared to swear to heaven and earth that in all his decades of life, he had never seen anything so wickedly strange. Even if that frail youth possessed some skill, how could he continuously draw so many people of illustrious status and position to his side?
Fu Tianlong!
Zifu County's valiant War Dragon General, the county king's foremost fierce general. Over the decades, he had amassed brilliant military achievements, and his cultivation was only a single step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Why... was he here as well?
Zui Qingshan looked at the middle-aged woman beside Fu Tianlong. She was clearly his wife. The couple had come hand in hand, yet they had lowered their posture far too much, far too much. What virtue or ability did Ye Tong possess? What virtue or ability did he possess?!
"Investigate him!"
"Dig him up from the bottom of the earth!"
"Even if we have to pull out his tendons, strip his skin, and suck his marrow, we must uncover his secret."
Zui Qingshan clenched his fists and started walking again.
Up in the pavilion, the dissatisfaction in Ye Tong's heart eased somewhat after the two women left. Mu Qianlan had attended his lessons for free, making him feel as though he had been taken advantage of, but he could not be bothered to argue with a woman.
He was considering when it would be appropriate to visit Fu Tianlong.
Take someone's money, avert their disaster.
Since he had accepted the Gao Family's money, he naturally had to help them settle the calamity. Although the matter had arisen because of him, Gao Fengkuo had indeed abused his authority and redeployed soldiers without authorization. That was absolutely an unforgivable crime. Fortunately, Gao Fengshan only wanted him to preserve Gao Fengkuo's life.
