The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 70 Zuo Qinghou

Fang Yunhua always felt that nothing in the world could embarrass him.

After all, he had encountered repeated incidents of people blocking the entrance to the Huashan Sect.

It's all just a drop in the ocean.

But now he realizes that he was naive.

Take the current situation, for example.

After a hard-fought battle, Fang Yunhua proved himself. Now that the moon was high in the sky, he returned to the hall looking refreshed. There he found Yuan Suiyun, who had already finished eating the perch, chatting awkwardly with Zuo Qinghou.

Zuo Qinghou was a man of good manners.

He couldn't possibly expect Yuan Suiyun, the young master of Wuzheng Manor, to wait with him until his daughter finished her business before they could eat.

So most of the delicious food ended up in Yuan Suiyun's stomach.

As for Zuo Qinghou...
It would be a miracle if he could eat that much.

During this time, he got up countless times, wanting to rush into the backyard, but after hesitating for a while, he sat back down. As time went by, he kept repeating the action of getting up from his seat, and the farthest he went was to open the door of the hall directly.

But in the end, he returned to his seat with a melancholy expression.

After finishing the sea bass sashimi, which Yuan Suiyun described as absolutely delicious, the two had nothing to do but chat awkwardly.

From 2 PM to 8 PM, Yuan Suiyun felt that someone as talkative as him had already covered every topic he could talk about in his life. If it dragged on any longer, he suspected that he might accidentally reveal the whole process of how he built Bat Island.

Now that Fang Yunhua has finally appeared, his eyes, which still look empty and lifeless, are filled with a resentful aura that makes Fang Yunhua secretly tremble!
"Second Brother Zuo! Brother Yuan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

After finding a chair in the hall, Fang Yunhua rubbed his stomach. All this hard work had made him a little hungry. It was a pity about that meal of perch sashimi; he didn't know if he would ever get to eat it again in his lifetime.

But after feeling Zuo Qinghou's increasingly resentful gaze, Fang Yunhua felt that people should at least, or shouldn't, be so greedy!
Where is Mingzhu?

Fang Yunhua and Yuan Suiyun, who were present, could both tell that Zuo Qinghou had used all his strength to squeeze out those three words.

He dared not ask too many questions, yet he couldn't remain silent either.

It was the resentment emanating from his entire body that seemed capable of feeding an evil sword immortal to the point of slaughtering an entire realm.

"She's still resting and probably won't wake up until tomorrow morning." Even Fang Yunhua, with his thick skin, felt a little embarrassed saying that.

Zuo Qinghou took a deep breath, raised his hand and pointed at Fang Yunhua. Judging from his posture, he was about to unleash a torrent of profanities. However, for some reason, after letting out another long sigh, he left the hall without saying a word.

Yuan Suiyun, who had spent the most awkward afternoon of her life, approached Fang Yunhua with a resentful aura and began to speak.

"Brother Fang, if there's a next time, please let me know in advance."

"Didn't you run away beforehand?"

"Putting aside the fact that the steward of Zhubei Manor was keeping an eye on me, as the young master of Wuzheng Manor, is it appropriate for him to leave without even saying hello to his master?"

Fang Yunhua felt it was quite suitable. He was not bound by the rules of those aristocratic disciples. Especially after he understood the true meaning of martial arts that was extremely compatible with the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng, he had decided to be a free man like the wind!

Of course, given the current situation, he still felt very sorry for Yuan Suiyun.

"Brother Yuan, I will remember this kindness! When we get to Shijiazhuang, I will definitely make it up to you!"

Yuan Suiyun nodded in agreement. He had been tormented all afternoon, and all he wanted was a promise of goodwill from the other party. Otherwise, he would have been tortured for nothing. As for compensation, he didn't really care. Then, he didn't forget to remind the other party.

"Master Zuo asked the cook to prepare some late-night snacks."

"Okay!"

Fang Yunhua went to find food. Although it wasn't the perch sashimi made by Old Man Zuo himself, the chef at Zhubei Manor was still quite good.

It wasn't in vain that I helped him make money during this time.

As the influence of the Huashan Sect grew, these relatives who had once helped them also reaped considerable benefits.

Moreover, Fang Yunhua was very particular about etiquette during this trip south. He specially sent people from Junshan Mountain by Dongting Lake to pick the finest batch of Junshan Silver Needle tea from the tea gardens. He believed that although Old Man Zuo was angry just now, he should have seen the sincerity of his son-in-law.

Besides, he was acting passively!
Who would have thought that Zuo Mingzhu, this little kitten, would turn into a big tiger in a second and suddenly become so greedy.

Tonight's resting place could not be arranged in Zuo Mingzhu's boudoir, as the steward of Zhibei Manor had already made preparations for this.

Fang Yunhua, taking a break from his busy schedule, didn't waste a single minute. That very night, he continued to consume Xiao Huan Dan to cultivate the Ming Yu Gong.

The next morning, the energetic Zuo Mingzhu dragged Fang Yunhua out for a stroll. Fang, being a righteous person, wanted to take Xiao Yuan along, but Xiao Yuan refused. In the end, it was Zuo who claimed that he would treat Xiao Yuan.

As for the awkwardness yesterday afternoon, looking at Zuo Qinghou's dark circles, Fang Yunhua had considered that the other party must have spent the whole night carefully crafting his words, preparing to have a proper talk with Zuo Mingzhu.

But perhaps after seeing his daughter's genuine smile, the father ultimately chose to remain silent.

"You're really capable." Walking down the bustling street, Fang Yunhua didn't forget to praise the cheerful little cat beside him.

With Zuo Mingzhu's keen mind, she could naturally notice some changes in Zuo Qinghou. Previously, Fang Yunhua thought that the other party really wanted to drain him dry to spite Shi Yin, but now it seems that even if that was part of the reason.

But more often than not, it was in this somewhat forceful way that Zuo Qinghou was forced to accept reality.

It was somewhat cruel to his own father, but Fang Yunhua also noticed that Lao Zuo's attitude towards him had indeed changed.

Originally, this person really wanted to get rid of him, but now he seems to have given up and can only accept his fate.

“This isn’t my skill; it’s because I understand my father. If you don’t push him, you won’t know how much potential he has!” Zuo Mingzhu said with absolute certainty, which made Fang Yunhua roll his eyes repeatedly.

"By the way, how's the matter I asked you to do?"

"Does this refer to the recent crackdown on the Beggars' Gang, where pressure was put on the Xue Family Village during the struggle for their property?"

"Ah."

"Even if you don't arrange this, the people at the manor won't show any mercy. After all, the relationship between the two families has only recently improved. Besides, while Xue Yiren is strong, he knows nothing about business. Although he has a big reputation,..."

Zuo Mingzhu was at a loss for words, but Fang Yunhua understood what she meant.

"He doesn't know how to monetize his fame, and he always maintains the dignity of a strong person."

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Yunhua is the best!" Zuo Mingzhu happily gave him a kiss. She didn't ask him why, when they were joining forces to plunder the Beggars' Sect's benefits, they also took the opportunity to squeeze out the profits the Beggars' Sect could obtain.

Fang Yunhua didn't say anything more after that question, and began to focus on enjoying his happy date with the woman beside him.
