Chapter 428 Mr. Wu

Murong Fu was feeling very conflicted at this moment.

Indeed, with his own strength, as long as he is willing to take the stage, he will definitely have a place among today's 'candidates for the next leader of the Beggars' Sect'.

but……

I am a noble "royal family", how can I become a beggar? !

But then again...

There is an old saying: It is no shame to be born in a humble family; only a man can bend and stretch himself.

This opportunity is really rare, it may only come once in a hundred years. If I can't grasp it, I will regret it in the future...

Just when Murong Fu was overwhelmed with emotions and hesitant.

Deng Baichuan, a retainer standing by, could no longer hold back and shouted at the person who had just spoken: "How dare you!"

"Who is my son? How could he become a beggar?!"

"Don't think that just because you are his friend, you can say such words that humiliate his dignity!"

Deng Baichuan's words soon resonated with the remaining three younger brothers, Gongye Qian, Bao Bu Tong, and Feng Bo'e.

"Cousin, I also think that's not good..."

Wang Yuyan pulled Murong Fu's sleeve and whispered.

Wang Yuyan didn't know anything else, but she knew that her mother didn't like Murong Fu very much and would never let her marry a beggar.

Even if the two are combined, it is absolutely impossible for negative two to equal positive.
Originally, Murong Fu had been persuaded by Deng Baichuan and others when he heard them speak out to defend his dignity.

He thought to himself that whether for the glory of his ancestors or for the four great ministers who followed the Murong family, he should not belittle himself and run to be a candidate for the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

However, after hearing what Wang Yuyan said, his mood suddenly turned bad.

"Don't talk more!"

"Why should a girl interfere in a man's affairs?"

Murong Fu snorted coldly and vented all his regret for not being a candidate and the shame of being a candidate on Wang Yuyan.

"In my opinion, the Jianghu is dangerous, so you should stay at home."

"This time you begged me hard, so I brought you out."

"But now that you're out, you should always remember to be careful with your words and actions, otherwise, what's the point of that?"

Translated, what he meant is:
I have shown you mercy and brought you out to see the world. It is your blessing. If you are sensible, just be a quiet vase. Don't be ungrateful and take advantage of others!

"I understand, cousin..."

Wang Yuyan felt wronged, so she had to convince herself secretly: My cousin said this for my own good, he wanted everyone in the martial arts world to know that his future wife was a lady from a well-off family who was obedient and law-abiding...

After scolding Wang Yuyan, Murong Fu felt much better, and his eyes fell on the person next to him who came up with the bad idea.

"Mr. Wu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

The man called 'Mr. Wu' was a middle-aged man who looked a bit older and dressed like a scholar.

"Where where?"

Mr. Wu chuckled and twirled his beard, "Mr. Deng and Miss Wang are right. With Mr. Murong's family background, he really can't hang out with beggars. I just said something wrong."

"I'll drink tea instead of wine as a punishment."

As he spoke, Mr. Wu raised the cup of tea in front of him and drank it all.

The moment he raised his head, his eyes revealed the shrewdness of an old fox, as if he was thinking about something.

This scholar is definitely not a good person...

Wang Yuyan, who happened to see this scene, secretly felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

The girl wanted to remind Murong Fu, but when she thought of the scolding just now, she had to shut up again.

Seeing that Murong Fu did not take Mr. Wu's words seriously, Deng Baichuan had no choice but to give up. However, he was still puzzled about the scholar's origins and purpose.

A few days ago, at the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Guo and Huang, several people took a boat to Dashengguan.

Unexpectedly, when the ship was halfway through the journey, it was blocked by a group of more than a hundred pirates.

Although Murong Fu and his four ministers were also experts in the martial arts world, they were outnumbered and had to be distracted to protect Wang Yuyan. Thirdly, the enemy was an excellent swimmer and used the tactic of "drilling the boat". They could not withstand the fierce battle on the river and were at a disadvantage for a while.

Just then, Mr. Wu appeared with his entourage.

They joined forces to fight off the pirates, thus saving their property and lives. After defeating the enemy, they talked to each other and found out that they were all here to attend the Beggars' Gang Conference, so they went to Guiyun Manor together.

On the way, Murong Fu communicated with Mr. Wu many times and found that this man was not only proficient in both civil and military strategies, but also resourceful. He immediately thought of recruiting him as his own aide.

After contacting Mr. Wu, Murong Fu finally figured out one thing.

That is, the reason why he has been in the world for many years without achieving anything is that he lacks a qualified think tank to give him advice.

Now that this only flaw has been made up, everything will go smoothly for me from now on.

Coincidentally, this Mr. Wu didn't seem to be a simple person either. Although he hid it very well, Murong Fu could still feel that there was a ruthlessness in him that ordinary people did not have.

However, Murong Fu didn't care about this.

What he wanted to do was something as big as a rebellion, so naturally his companions had to be the most ruthless people in the world.

If it were an ordinary person, he would look down on him.

Since Murong Fu thought highly of Mr. Wu, even if Deng Baichuan and the others were dissatisfied, they could only keep it to themselves. In addition, they thought that the other party had saved their lives after all, so they just let it go.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed.

Thirty martial arts competitions have already been held on the arena.

But so far, there has been no response from Qiao Feng and Huang Rong on the judges' bench.

Everyone could only see the two of them whispering to each other from time to time, then picking up the pen and marking on the booklet at hand, or nodding and smiling, or shaking their heads and sighing.

When the two nodded and smiled, the people on the stage became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and the people below cheered;
On the contrary, if the two people shake their heads and sigh, the people on the stage will lose their confidence, start making mistakes in their moves, and the people below will also whisper to each other.

Because Yang Guo was sitting close, he could see clearly that the booklets in Huang Rong and Qiao Feng's hands clearly recorded each contestant's name, hometown, personality, behavior style after joining the gang, contributions, and the martial arts methods displayed in this competition.

However, their expressions and actions have nothing to do with these!

That nodding, smiling, shaking head and sighing were all fake!
At first, Yang Guo didn't know why the two of them did this.

Although some of the people who went up didn't perform very well, the two men seemed very satisfied; there were also some people whose martial arts skills were pretty good, but the two men kept frowning.

Yang Guo even began to doubt that his martial arts skills were not practiced enough, which was why he couldn't see the clues.

Fortunately, Guo Jing next to him did not have as strong expression management as Huang Rong and Qiao Feng, so he was able to strengthen his opinion.

After several rounds, Yang Guo gradually understood the reason.

Qiao Feng and Huang Rong did this to put pressure on the people on the stage, to test their psychological qualities and to see to what extent they would exert their strength under the psychological cues of others.

After realizing this, Yang Guo couldn't help but feel shocked.

Although he knew that Huang Rong was smart and scheming, he never thought that she would fiddle with such details and deceive people with a simple expression even from dozens of meters away.

What was even more unexpected to him was that a man like Qiao Feng, who looked big and strong, was actually quite delicate and cooperated with Huang Rong's performance without saying a word.

If Lu Ping knew what Yang Guo was thinking, he would probably laugh out loud.

After all, their psychological tests are far inferior to the endless stream of tricky and weird interviews in modern society!
At noon, Lu Ping finally woke up.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Wang Xiaoshi lying beside me with his eyes closed, basking in the sun.

"Little Stone, wake up!"

"Didn't I tell you to watch the show and call me if there's anything fun? How come you're asleep now?"

"What if we miss lunch, like you do?"

Wang Xiaoshi kept his eyes tightly closed, and said lazily, "Don't worry, I'm listening!"

Such familiar words!
I seemed to have the same idea when I was listening to the physics teacher's lecture in class.

I can listen to the class with my eyes closed, it's okay...

Then I slept until the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Ding ding ding——!!!
The sound of the gong announced the end of the morning competition.

"Don't sleep, it's time for dinner!"

The morning session of the Beggars' Gang Conference was uneventful.

There were neither blind foreign monks coming to disrupt the situation nor people from the power gang coming to sabotage it. Even the people who came to the stage did not have anyone with slightly stronger martial arts skills.

It's meaningless!
