After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Rong Su understood what this meant, but she obviously thought that recognizing a sworn brother was a very troublesome matter, because Yan Liang had also had such an idea.

Afterwards, she found a random excuse to leave the Tiger Hall. She was really afraid that Xu Biao would make other inexplicable requests. She needed help from him now and had already refused him once. If he asked her again, although she didn't care, it would be bad if Xu Biao was unhappy and refused to give her the live charcoal.

Seeing that Rong Su seemed to be running away in panic, Xu Biao touched his chin and laughed heartily.

The entire Tiger Hall was filled with his earth-shaking laughter. When Rong Su heard it, he quickened his pace and left the place quickly with his head down.

Xu Biao was laughing, but Zhou Di couldn't laugh at all. He was only thinking about one thing, which was what Xu Biao said, that he didn't have much time left.

He regarded the man in front of him as his father and brother. Although he had only been with him for three short years, it was he who gave him the ability to make a living, taught him how to deal with things, and gave him a decent home.

When Zhou Di thought about how such a good person, who was like a family member to him, was about to leave him, his heart was covered with a layer of haze that he couldn't get out of. He couldn't accept it, and didn't want to accept it.

Xu Biao noticed Zhou Di's depressed mood, put away his smile, frowned and asked, "Could it be that you, a bad boy, don't want to become sworn brothers with Doctor Rong? That's impossible! Doctor Rong is such a good girl. If she didn't want to, I would have wanted her to be the future wife of the leader of our Hutou Sect!"

Not long ago, Xu Biao told him that he would give him the position of sect leader, but he would never refute Xu Biao's orders. He would do whatever Xu Biao asked him to do because the decisions he made were generally correct.

But this time, Zhou Di wanted to refuse: "Master, I am not very talented and learned, and my martial arts skills are not very good. I am afraid I can't take on the position of the master."

When Xu Biao heard Zhou Di's refusal, he immediately became angry and slammed the table hard.

"You little brat! Are you really that arrogant? I was just trying to match you up with Doctor Rong, but now you're taking advantage of me?"

Xu Biao thought Zhou Di was angry that he acted on his own. Although he did act on impulse, as the sect leader who had the final say, he naturally could not admit that he had acted on his own and made the decision for him.

"No. Sect Leader, I'm not mad at you for trying to match me up with Doctor Rong, and I'm not angry either. I'm really not qualified to be the Sect Leader." Zhou Di was extremely calm, looking up at Xu Biao with seriousness in his eyes.

Seeing that Zhou Di did not look angry, Xu Biao was immediately confused. This kid rarely opposed his decisions, so why did he suddenly refuse to be the sect leader? They had just agreed to it a few days ago, so why did he suddenly change his mind?

Unable to figure it out, Xu Biao frowned and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "I'm telling you, kid, the position of Sect Leader must belong to you. If you don't agree, I'll beat you until you agree!"

Zhou Di saw this righteous and resolute look. If it were any other day, he would never be stubborn because he couldn't bear to be stubborn with someone who was so good to him. But now, he was afraid.

He was afraid that after the sect leader explained everything, he would completely disappear from his life and he would collapse.

Zhou Di lowered his head silently, like a wooden stake covered with dust, or like a confused and rebellious child, standing there in a low and sad mood.

Xu Biao had already noticed something about Zhou Di's behavior, and he figured out why Zhou Di suddenly became like this.

"Adi, everyone is mortal. Death is either heavier than a huge mountain or lighter than a thin goose feather. My death is neither too heavy nor too light. It's a good thing that I have tested two poisonous snakes for the members of the Tiger Head Sect." Xu Biao comforted Zhou Di earnestly.

Listening to Xu Biao's words of comfort, Zhou's eyes turned red, his voice became hoarse and choked, and he knelt down in front of Xu Biao.

"Master. It was you who brought me to the Tiger Head Sect and taught me so much. What would I do without you?"

Xu Biao lowered his head and looked at the child in front of him. When he picked him up three years ago, he looked like a dead tree, skinny and bony. He didn't look like a human being, but more like a piece of wood that had been discarded casually.

At that time, Zhou's eyes were empty, and there was no desire to live in them, as if he were a piece of dead wood.

After he was brought back to Hutoumen, Zhou Di didn't say a word for a whole six months. He would only eat if someone fed him. Otherwise, he would not find food for himself and would just endure the hunger.

It took Xu Biao a whole year to make Zhou Di, a lifeless man, want to live again.

Later he was given the name Zhou, which was his master's surname. Xu Biao saw his master's character in Zhou, both of whom were a bit stubborn.

Xu Biao slowly pulled himself back from the fleeting memory, looked at Zhou Di again, sighed, and reached out to pat his shoulder.

"Adi, promise me. Tiger Head Gate is my hard work. I can entrust it to you because I trust you. Do you want to destroy my trust in you?"

Zhou Di was stunned, shook his head, looked up at Xu Biao, and saw his face with traces of time. He had aged a lot and his hair had turned a lot grayer. He lowered his head and started crying uncontrollably.

Listening to Zhou Di's suppressed crying, Xu Biao sighed helplessly and patted his shoulder to comfort him silently.

-

When Xu Biao agreed to give the live charcoal to Rong Su, she immediately wrote a letter and asked Xiao Si to take it to Yan Liang as soon as possible.

Not long after, Yan Liang sent a letter, hoping that Rong Su could speak about him to Xu Biao. He wanted to come to Hutoumen to discuss with Xu Biao in person about the transportation of live charcoal to the mining city.

Rong Su naturally agreed. It was better for Yan Liang to talk to Xu Biao face to face than for her to act as a middleman and pass their messages back and forth, which was very troublesome.

Rong Su went to find Xu Biao that night. Before she even stepped into the Tiger Hall, someone came out to greet her and enthusiastically took her directly to meet Xu Biao.

As soon as Xu Biao saw her, the curve of his mouth rose to the highest point, and the solemnity between his eyebrows disappeared, leaving only a look of joy.

"Doctor Rong, while I was having breakfast, I had a feeling I would meet someone who would cheer me up tonight. I didn't expect you to be here! Come and sit down quickly. It just so happens that the chef has learned a recipe from the Zhongzhou Restaurant tonight called Sweet Taro Cake."

A plate of soft and glutinous pastries was brought to the table in front of her. Before she tasted them, she could already taste their sweetness.

A faint cake fragrance emanated from it, and a hint of floral scent permeated it. It seemed that the chef had added the scent of flowers to enhance the taste.

"Come and try some food. I heard that Doctor Rong has been living in Zhongzhou. You must be missing the food from your hometown after being in our Middle East for so long. Try it and see if the chef has learned the essence of the food." Xu Biao looked at her with a smile and kept urging her to eat, as if he was a child who had found something interesting and was presenting it to her like a treasure.

Seeing that he kept urging her, she couldn't refuse him, so she reached out and took a piece and put it in her mouth.

The taste is excellent, melts in your mouth, fragrant and delicious, not too sweet, with a light taste, even if you eat too much, you won’t feel sick.

"How is it? Is it the same as the pastries you had in your hometown?" Xu Biao asked excitedly when he saw her eating it. His eyes seemed to be shining and he stared at her too enthusiastically. It was good for elders like this to be enthusiastic, but too much enthusiasm made her feel uncomfortable.

After taking a few bites, she put it down. After all, she came here tonight to talk to Xu Biao about something, not to chat.

"In Zhongzhou, I've only eaten a few kinds of cakes, and none of them were made in big restaurants. They were all street food from small vendors. They can't compare to what the sect's chef has specially learned. They must be made in a big restaurant, so my evaluation doesn't count. Besides, the chef's cakes are indeed delicious."

Before speaking, he still needed to say some nice words to pave the way. Rong Su was a little unsure about what he would say. After all, the rule of the Hutou Sect was not to do business with people who were not from the martial arts world.

"Haha, it doesn't matter where the chef learned his skills from, whether it's from a big restaurant or a small vendor. As long as Doctor Rong likes it, I will order him to make it every day and let Ah Di deliver it to you personally!" Xu Biao laughed out loud, obviously amused by her words, and his eyes narrowed into a line with laughter.

After hearing this, Rong Su understood that Xu Biao was still unwilling to give up and still wanted to match her with Zhou Di. But it didn't matter, she would have to leave soon, and the subsequent matters would be discussed by Yan Liang and Hutoumen, so she would not get involved anymore. By then, the mission would be completed naturally, and she would not have to contact Hutoumen anymore.

Rong Su smiled, took a sip of tea, and then spoke of the purpose of tonight's visit. "Master, this is what happened. You promised to give me live charcoal. Actually, I came here for live charcoal in the first place, but I ended up helping you by accident. And I was asked to do this for the miners in Mining City. It was someone else who asked me to do it. It was Yan Liang, the lord of Mining City. He hopes to discuss this matter with you in person later."

She kept looking at Xu Biao's expression and saw that the smile on his face had obviously faded a lot after hearing what she said.

Seeing him put down the teacup in his hand, smiling neither too deep nor too shallow, and remaining silent for a long time, Rong Su thought that Xu Biao was silently resisting and was thinking about saying something to save the situation.

The next second, the other party spoke slowly, seemingly without resistance, but the look in his eyes when he looked at him was somewhat meaningful.

"When I knew that Doctor Rong came to me to ask for live charcoal, I had already guessed that Doctor Rong was entrusted with this task. I saw everything that happened between Doctor Rong and Mr. Shen, and I know exactly why."

After hearing this, Rong Su couldn't help but feel a little surprised. In this way, everything they had done before seemed a bit like a show in front of him.

"Since the Sect Master knows, I will speak openly. City Master Yan hopes to come directly to the sect and discuss the transportation of live charcoal with Sect Master Xu in person."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Biao and saw that he had an unchanged faint smile on his face. She couldn't tell anything from his smile at all. She didn't know what he was thinking, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

This was a crucial move for the success of her mission. She clenched her hands tightly, releasing the anxiety and restlessness in her heart.

Xu Biao pondered for a long time, and suddenly laughed softly, which made her heart skip a beat, and then she looked at him in confusion.

"Master Xu, what's this?"

He raised his hand, slapped his thigh, and then looked at her seriously, which made her look solemn and serious as well.

"I will only discuss the live charcoal with Doctor Rong, and will not meet with City Lord Yan. We at the Tiger Head Sect do not do business with those outside the martial arts world. This is a hard and fast rule and cannot be changed."

Her heart sank at this moment, but after thinking about it, she found a flaw and asked Xu Biao directly: "But I am not a person of the underworld, Master Xu, so should I not do business with you?"

This question not only did not stump Xu Biao, but even gave him the opportunity to throw further questions to her.

"Haha, what's so difficult about this? As long as Doctor Rong and Adi become husband and wife or sworn siblings, then everything will be easy. You'll be a person of status in the Hutou Sect by then. If you want anything, just discuss it directly with Adi!"

After saying this, Rong Su looked at Xu Biao again, and seeing the gleam in his eyes, she realized that she had fallen into a trap by asking this. No, perhaps Xu Biao had already known that she would definitely come to him to discuss the live charcoal matter, and this question was also something he had already decided to leave for herself.

After figuring it out, Rong Su felt a little unhappy, but now she couldn't do anything about it. With a tone of complaint, she began to harass Xu Biao, "Master Xu is really calculating. It's a waste of your talent and strategy if you don't become a military advisor. When I first asked Master Xu for the charcoal, I believe the master had it all figured out. These days, all the correspondence between me and City Lord Yan has been conveyed through Xiao Si. Xiao Si can enter and exit Hutou Sect so freely, I believe the master has tacitly agreed to this."

"The Sect Master took great pains to bring me into the game in order to bring Zhou Di and I together. The Sect Master's love for Zhou Di is truly that of a parent. Only a parent who loves their child would make far-reaching plans for him."

When the other party heard her say this, instead of feeling angry about being exposed, he nodded in agreement with satisfaction and even praised her.

"That's right, that's right. The children I like are all smart! You and A-Di are a perfect match. A-Di is quiet and steady, and Doctor Rong, you are cautious and wise. With you two here, the Tiger Head Sect will soon be able to become the leader of the martial arts world!"

Rong Su didn't want to pay any attention to Xu Biao's self-willed happiness. Seeing that Xu Biao's attitude was no longer friendly, which had affected her mood, she said to him in a cold voice: "I say again, I will not have any relationship with Zhou Di."

This cold shower chilled Xu Biao to the bone. His smile froze, then faded for a second before returning to normal, as if he had made up his mind not to change. His tone was firm, "Kid, there's no need to be so stubborn. You're just like Ah Di's kid in this respect. Having a bad temper like this won't be good for your future, and it'll make you more likely to fall."

Ha, it’s not her turn to be lectured by him yet. Rong Su’s face became uglier and uglier, and she was about to get up and leave.

Xu Biao also saw that Rong Su didn't like to hear this, so he immediately stopped talking. However, he still had no intention of changing his mind. He said to her in a calm voice: "Child, think it over carefully. Having multiple sects to rely on is not necessarily a bad thing for you, right?"

After hearing this, Rong Su left the Tiger Hall without looking back. Along the way, she could imagine how dark her face was.

Several gang members who passed by saw her, but they didn't dare to look her in the eye. They greeted her and quickly moved away.

When she returned to the room, she had calmed down and recalled Xu Biao's last words in her mind.
