Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Looking at the big shopkeeper, Zuo Feng immediately put on a surprised look, as if he didn't understand what the other person was asking.

Instead, Shusuo on the side said: "Fourth Brother, I have relayed everything you just said to the big shopkeeper. The big shopkeeper came here this time just to hear your views in detail."

There was a hint of surprise on his face, and then he said with a flattered smile: "How dare you bother the big shopkeeper to go all the way? Just pass the message and I will go see the big shopkeeper."

"No problem"

With a gentle wave of his hand, he motioned for several people to sit down. At the same time, the shopkeeper had already pulled a chair from the side and sat down first.

Zuo Feng and the three of them then found their own seats and sat down. The big shopkeeper looked at Zuo Feng with a faint smile on his face. Being looked at like this made Zuo Feng feel a little uncomfortable.

What surprised Zuo Feng the most was that what he had said to Shu Suo before was not told by the big shopkeeper in his own capacity. Instead, it came from Zuo Feng's mouth.

In Zuo Feng's opinion, Shu Kun's performance has been too outstanding recently, and Shusuo just needs a suitable opportunity to attract the attention of the big shopkeeper, and even gain a status equivalent to Shu Kun's.

It wasn't until the big shopkeeper arrived and asked directly what he had said that Zuo Feng suddenly noticed a detail problem. It seemed that he had underestimated Shu Suo and Shu Kun from the beginning to the end.

Because of the comparison with Shu Zai, these two people not only disgusted Zuo Feng, but also despised such people from the bottom of his heart. But it was precisely because of this inner thought that Zuo Feng subconsciously had the idea of ​​despising the two of them.

It's not that Shusuo can't see that making reasonable suggestions to the big shopkeeper is a very good opportunity to improve his impression in the big shopkeeper's mind. But the technique was obviously not as simple as Zuo Feng thought, and the technique was more thoughtful.

If he takes this opportunity to take a step forward, then he will directly face the competition with Shu Kun. Now that Shu Kun already has certain rights, it would not be beneficial to him if he had a head-on confrontation at this time.

Therefore, Shusuo changed his mind and directly pushed Zuo Feng out when making suggestions to the big shopkeeper. From the immediate perspective, Shu Suo may have missed an opportunity, but in the long run, it would be more beneficial to him to let Zuo Feng compete with Shu Kun.

After thinking about this, Zuo Feng also warned himself secretly in his heart. In the beginning, I often faced desperate situations. Even during the bone refining stage, I faced enemies in the late stage of tendon quenching and even in the early stage of Qi sensing stage.

At that time, he was often faced with dangers, and Zuo Feng would always be careful and vigilant. Now that he is in the Lin family, his eyes are always fixed on big people like the big shopkeeper and Yan Zhi, but he despises the little people around him.

Reflecting silently, Zuo Feng respectfully poured a cup of tea for the shopkeeper while waiting for him to continue.

The big shopkeeper seemed to be in a good mood. He took the tea brought by Zuo Feng and took a sip before placing it on the table next to him. He turned around and said with a smile: "I heard that my little brother was given the name Mu Xiahe in the wood lineage, and his seniority was already at the lowest level.

Now that you have joined the art family, your surname can no longer be used. As for your name, I will give you ‘Tianle’ on behalf of the family, okay? "

He stood up in a hurry and bent down deeply, and said in surprise: "Thank you to the great shopkeeper for giving me the name. I will work hard to live up to the word 'Heaven' in the future."

Nodding, the big shopkeeper continued: "I think you should know some rules. We generally don't talk about the hierarchy of the family, so just like Shu Suo and Shu Kun, just play Shu Le in the future. "

After saying this, the big shopkeeper changed the topic and asked: "I already know the two points you made about the family's next move, but I want to hear your preference for these two ways out. "

Of course, Zuo Feng would not forget the two ways out he proposed. One was to ask for help from outside, or even rush out of Kuocheng first, and then contact his family members to return to Kuocheng.

Another suggestion is to seek cooperation inward, naturally with the Mu lineage of the Lin family, and the two sides can join forces to act together. In this way, there is still the possibility of competing.

Because the big shopkeeper arrived suddenly, Zuo Feng had not thought that he would have to face this problem in advance, so when he heard the other party suddenly ask him, he was silent for a while not knowing how to answer.

But the big shopkeeper still looked like he was busy, and he picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

Although he knew that it couldn't be delayed for too long, Zuo Feng had to think carefully before he slowly said: "When I talked to Brother Shusuo before, I once said that both methods have their own pros and cons. Compared with each other, I actually prefer...the former."

Hearing what Zuo Feng said, Shusuo's expression couldn't help but change a little, because when Zuo Feng said it before, he had mentioned that he thought the latter was preferable. Now his opinion suddenly turned to the former, which made Shusuo feel a little puzzled and at the same time felt that something was wrong.

With a hint of a reserved smile, the big shopkeeper asked with interest, "Oh? It seems that I remembered it wrong, but when I heard Shusuo's story, you seemed to be more inclined to join forces with the Mu family."

When the big shopkeeper asked, Zuo Feng looked panicked. He stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, and said nervously: "Don't blame the big shopkeeper. The villain originally had some selfish motives. Now he doesn't dare to tell lies in front of the true Buddha. , naturally it is whatever you think in your heart.”

"Although, as long as it is for the sake of the family, the speaker is not guilty." The big shopkeeper was still smiling, but Zuo Feng did not dare to relax at all, and he knew that if the answer was wrong, he would be in trouble.

He quickly went through the thoughts in his mind again, and after finding that there was no problem, he slowly said: "The reason why I said that before was actually a little selfish. The more important reason is that I thought... Brother Shusuo proposed it, so I said that I am more inclined to join the family lineage. "

Without seeing any change on his face, the shopkeeper calmly uttered the word "continue" and continued to pick up the tea and continue drinking.

Gritting his teeth secretly, Zuo Feng continued: "Based on the balance between the two, there are considerable benefits to cooperating with the Mu family. And if we can cooperate with each other this time, I will also have the opportunity to work with the Mu family. I felt proud in return for their ridicule and cold treatment of me."

After saying these words, Zuo Feng slowly lowered his head, looking submissive and resigned to what he was dealt. However, the big shopkeeper casually put down the tea cup and nodded as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his mind. "Frankly speaking, yes, very good. I don't hate ambitious people, let alone heart, and I don't hate smart people. You..." It’s a smart person!”

Speaking calmly, the big shopkeeper gently waved his hand, sending out a soft secret energy, dragging Zuo Feng to straighten up involuntarily, and at the same time said: "We are all our own people, this is not a formal occasion, just chatting. , there’s no need to be so nervous. Sit down and talk.”

On the surface, he looked frightened, but in his heart he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this level of difficulty was passed in a blur.

As soon as he sat down, Zuo Feng couldn't help but said as if he had escaped a disaster, "In fact, in comparison, it is more difficult and risky to seek help from outside the city, but if it succeeds, it will definitely make a difference." The effect of determining victory or defeat, if it is arranged properly, the vast city will be under the control of the big shopkeeper. "

When he spoke this time, Zuo Feng's compliments were completely revealed, like a foolish young man eager to express himself. When they heard Zuo Feng's story, Shu Kun and Shu Suo, who had slightly gloomy expressions, softened their expressions and showed a trace of ridicule.

On the contrary, the big shopkeeper remained calm and unmoving, not dissatisfied with what Zuo Feng said before, nor excited by what he said next.

"Apart from this, do you have any other ideas?" After pondering for a while, the big shopkeeper couldn't help but ask again.

Seeing the big shopkeeper continue to ask questions, Zuo Feng knew what the other party was thinking, and he also knew that he could not act too smart or too stupid now. You have to give an idea, but it cannot be your true idea.

With his mind spinning rapidly, Zuo Feng suddenly said: "Now that all the forces in Kuocheng are checking and balancing each other, and now we and the Guihua family have suffered a certain amount of damage, at this time we are looking for comrades inward, but not just Mu. Just one lineage.”

His eyes flickered slightly, and the big shopkeeper immediately asked: "Oh, then do you think there is any other way to join forces?"

"The City Lord's Mansion is a force that cannot be underestimated. Although they are just running around in tonight's operation, I believe that Guo Tong's strength is not just that little bit. If the Mu family and the City Lord's Mansion are brought over, then It is better to look within for strength than to look for help from outside.”

This time Zuo Feng spoke very clearly, and at the same time he showed great confidence in his words.

However, the big shopkeeper, who showed great interest at first, frowned slightly after listening to Zuo Feng's words. After a long while, he exhaled softly and said calmly.

"You have some brains, too. Shu Suo and Shu Kun will have to share a lot of responsibility for the family in the future, and you must help them."

The big shopkeeper stood up slowly and was about to leave, but before going out, he suddenly said this for some unknown reason.

Shu Kun and Shu Suo were obviously a little surprised by Zuo Feng's words. They were still stunned in place. It wasn't until the big shopkeeper stepped out of the door that they came to their senses and hurriedly chased him out.

However, before the two of them went out, they showed the same look, and both turned to look at Zuo Feng, who was bowing his head to see off the big shopkeeper.

‘I hope things don’t develop in the worst direction, otherwise the big shopkeeper will have fewer and fewer options, and the situation will become increasingly difficult. ’

Listening to the footsteps of the three people leaving, Zuo Feng frowned and thought in his heart, always feeling like there was a big stone hanging in his heart that would not fall to the ground.
