As soon as Jiang Wang asked this question, Hu You immediately looked at his own son, and even forgot about the unconscious Zhong Xuan Laifu. It seemed that with a command from his son, they would immediately go into battle.Based on Jiang Wang's displayed strength, Zhu Biqiong also knew that she couldn't escape on her own. Therefore, she turned her hopeful gaze towards Hu Shaomeng.
Hu Shaomeng only hesitated for a moment before resolutely saying, "If you dare to do anything to my junior sister, I won't spare you!"
This was the choice he made.
Jiang Wang casually said, "You can rest assured."
"Let's go!" Hu Shaomeng said straightforwardly, getting up and walking out.
"Hu..." Zhu Biqiong anxiously called out, but she was immediately silenced by Jiang Wang.
"Junior sister, you don't need to be afraid. I will pay close attention to this matter and urge the Zhong Xuan family to make a statement as soon as possible. Once the envoy investigates the truth, they will not dare to restrain you any longer." Hu Shaomeng turned around and comforted her, seemingly oblivious to the tears streaming down her face. He added a cliché, "You should know that the Fishing Sea Tower is not easy to provoke!"
Zhu Biqiong was both shocked and angry. Compared to Jiang Wang, who had restrained her, she hated Hu Shaomeng even more for being a hypocrite.
Weren't we the only two people that my sister cared about?
Didn't you say you deeply loved my sister?
Didn't you say you would take care of me on behalf of my sister?
Is this how you take care of me?
Hu You remained silent throughout, except for bringing the old man responsible for transporting cultivation resources for the Zhong Xuan family. He seemed like a puppet made of mud and wood.
Jiang Wang clearly knew that the Hu family was the one in charge, and they didn't need to continue acting.
Seeing that his son had made a decision, he lifted the unconscious Zhong Xuan Laifu and followed behind his son, leaving the mining site.
The mining site wouldn't last long, and Zhong Xuan Laifu had already lost his value. Jiang Wang's slap had proven his uselessness. But no matter what, with the surname Zhong Xuan, the Hu family couldn't ignore him.
As soon as they left the mining site, Hu Shaomeng's face darkened, looking extremely terrifying.
Hu You was very afraid of this son in his heart. But after thinking it over, he couldn't help but say, "Shaomeng, is it not good for us to leave your junior sister there like this? We don't know who this Jiang person is and what kind of person he is. What if..."
"Is it necessary for you to say that? Can't I figure it out myself?" Hu Shaomeng glared at him angrily, forcing his father to shut up.
He had indeed had a passionate relationship with Zhu Suyao during their time at the Fishing Sea Tower.
But after his cultivation caught up, Zhu Suyao, who had stopped progressing, was no longer in his eyes. He turned his attention to another powerful senior sister and found a reason to break up with Zhu Suyao.
Unexpectedly, that woman was stubborn. After their fruitless entanglement, she turned her love for him into hatred and threatened revenge.
He had to secretly make a move, causing Zhu Suyao to have an accident during her travels and leaving her with hidden injuries, cutting off her path to cultivation.
Zhu Suyao lost her future, while he advanced rapidly. The two of them would never have any intersection again. The matter had already ended.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Suyao managed to obtain an opportunity to explore the Tianfu Secret Realm.
God knows how terrified he was at the thought of Zhu Suyao successfully returning from the Tianfu Secret Realm. Sometimes, when he had nightmares at midnight, he would see Zhu Suyao's ferocious appearance.
And when the spots for the Tianfu Secret Realm were announced and there was no news from Zhu Suyao, a huge stone fell from his heart. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
Zhu Suyao's younger sister, Zhu Biqiong, was also a beauty, and her talent surpassed her sister's. She was a good target.
In Hu Shaomeng's eyes, her hatred and resentment could be easily resolved. Because only he knew what he had done to Zhu Suyao. On the contrary, because of Zhu Suyao's existence, once they reconciled, they would naturally feel close to each other.
He understood very well that by leaving today, he was letting the meat in the bowl walk away, allowing others to chew on it.
But what choice did he have?
He didn't expect Zhu Biqiong to follow him to the Yang Kingdom. After discovering her, he casually played a little trick and put on a show. It was an unexpected gain.
The matter in the Hu family's mining site was the real issue.
He couldn't lose sight of the bigger picture because of a small matter.
If he was confident in defeating Jiang Wang, he would not hesitate to play the role of a hero and capture him. By the time the Zhong Xuan family reacted and sent someone, he would have already achieved his goal and returned to the Fishing Sea Tower. Who would dare to come then?
But unfortunately, he wasn't confident.
Jiang Wang had already made two moves in front of him, but they were both effortless and inconspicuous. He was unfathomable, making it impossible for anyone to figure out his true strength.
After all, he was the winner of the Tianfu Secret Realm, destined to have divine abilities in the Inner Palace. Zhong Xuan Sheng had even risked his life to confront Jiang Wuyong, the prince of the Qi Kingdom. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to overestimate him.
Only that stupid old man from the Zhong Xuan family, who had been assigned to the Yang Kingdom for many years and was completely clueless, would be instigated to step forward with an imposing manner.
The more Hu Shaomeng thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but vent his anger, "I said we should be more subtle and take it step by step, but you made it a big deal! Even Xizi Chu heard the news and rushed back from the Eastern King Valley, forcing me to come back personally. What have you accomplished?"
He grumbled, "Old as you are, all you do is dote on that whore. I'll find her and sell her off!"
Hu You kept his eyes half-closed, remaining silent no matter how his son complained.
He had already reached his limit by asking about the young girl earlier.
His son had always been this temperamental. Although he usually hid it well, as a father, how could he not know? He could bear it, after all, his son couldn't really do anything to him.
But when he heard the last sentence, when he heard the word "whore".
This fat, seemingly kind old man, suddenly flew into a rage.
He threw the unconscious elder of the Zhongxuan family from his shoulder onto the ground, and angrily said to Hu Shaomeng, "Hu Shaomeng! Watch your mouth! I'm going to marry her. I'm your father, and she is your mother!"
Bang!
Hu You felt himself being lifted off the ground and then heavily thrown back down.
Hu Shaomeng was choking him, pressing him hard against the ground, his expression terrifying, "Old man, remember this! I! Only! Have! One! Mother!"
"The one you abandoned, the one who froze to death in the harsh winter!"
Hu You struggled desperately, but the hand remained unmoved.
His breathing became increasingly difficult, his face turning red. The unbearable pain almost drowned him, and in the end, he began to hallucinate.
Not until the hand let him go.
Those hallucinations finally overlapped into the image of his son, Hu Shaomeng.
He watched this face slowly grow up, from a young boy to the man he is now.
Huff! Huff! Huff!
He gasped desperately.
Collapsed on the ground, listening to Hu Shaomeng's footsteps fading away.
"How was I supposed to know she'd rather freeze to death than leave? How was I supposed to know she would really freeze to death?"
"I... I regret it too."
"All these years, I've been living like a corpse."
He cried in his heart.
But he dared not make a sound.
The summer sun was warm.
But his heart was as cold as ice, tears streaming down his old face.
