Seeing this, everyone had to understand. The culprit is the weak-looking woman, Jiang Xue.
Zheng Qianshu wasn’t innocent. It could be said that the two of them jointly planned this incident and wanted Cheng Miao to be buried forever in the Nandou Mountains.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Miao would be rescued in such a dangerous situation and expose their conspiracy.
Shi Yan was so angry that he was livid. He thought that with him around, the Cheng family wouldn’t dare to treat his grandson badly. He never expected that his grandson would be surrounded by vicious wolves, and he almost killed his grandson.
Shi Yan wanted to strangle these two b*stars to death. He glanced at them and saw Lu Rong standing aside blankly.
Shi Yan stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar. He lifted Lu Rong up and slapped him hard, sending him flying out.
Lu Rong coughed up blood. There were a few teeth mixed in the blood. In an instant, half of Lu Rong’s face swelled up.
Many cultivators around them thought, ‘it should be’ in their hearts. Who couldn’t tell that these two were just trying to compete for this man? This was why Jiang Xue and Zheng Qianshu joined forces to kill Cheng Miao first. They just had to get rid of him and they could compete again, right?
However, Lu Rong kept these people around him. What was his motive?
They weren’t very old, but their intentions were sinister.
Everyone had really seen it today. They no longer dared to look down on these people who weren’t high in cultivation and weren’t very old.
“Miao’er, what do you think I should do with them?” Shi Yan looked at his grandson, hoping he would come up with an idea.
Jiang Xue shrank into a ball. She was really scared at this time. If she was given another chance, she would never dare to go against Cheng Miao.
It was only now that she realized how powerful Cheng Miao’s grandfather was. Her cousin could only be controlled by him.
Zheng Qianshu gritted his teeth and refused to give in. He was a member of the Zheng family. Even the Golden Eagle mercenary group couldn’t deal with him arbitrarily.
Cheng Miao looked at the appearance of the two people. Then he looked at Lu Rong, who had fallen to the ground not far away, with a look of regret on his face.
Cheng Miao felt very bored. He smiled lightly, walked to his grandfather, and said, “Grandpa, don’t be angry. Your grandson is standing here well. I don’t want to be involved with any of them anymore, and I also don’t want to go back to the Cheng house. Grandpa, let me follow you.”
Shi Yan’s heart softened immediately. After this incident, he didn’t trust his grandson to be taken care of by the Cheng family again. Who knew what demons were in the Cheng family?
The next time it happened, his grandson might not have such good luck, and it would be too late for him to regret it.
Rather than leaving it to others to take care of, it was better to keep his grandson by his side. Could it be that his Golden Eagle mercenary group couldn’t take care of his grandson?
“Okay, I will follow Miao’er’s advice. There is no need to go back to the Cheng house. Let’s go back now.”
“Okay.” Cheng Miao smiled happily.
Therefore, the grandfather and grandson called Feng Ming, Bai Qiaomo, and the remaining members of the mercenary group to go to the Golden Eagle’s base together. They never looked at the three people, including Lu Rong, again.
The Lu family, Zheng family and Cheng family wanted to persuade him to stay, but they were afraid of Shi Yan’s methods.
No one was killed today because Cheng Miao was here. Shi Yan could not have reached this point by being a kind-hearted person. His kind side was only for his grandson.
However, when Feng Ming left, he looked back at Lu Rong, Jiang Xue and Zheng Qianshu and clicked his tongue. This caused Bai Qiaomo to look at him with a smile.
Feng Ming whispered to him, “The old man didn’t take action to deal with these three, but they will never have a good life in the future. Their hardships will come after.”
Bai Qiaomo smiled. “Your words are right. If they dare to use the beast-attracting powder, they will be blacklisted by the Mercenary Hall. No matter how much the Zheng family dotes on their ger, it is impossible not to be annoyed by him.”
“It is okay to dote on a ger when it doesn’t harm the interests of the family, but the ger will definitely be abandoned once he conflicts with the family’s interests.
It was very rare for Uncle Feng to value his own ger more than anything else, not to mention that Junior Brother Ming would not do anything to burden the family just for his own selfishness, leading to reckless consequences.
The Golden Eagle mercenary group and the others were completely gone. The cultivators present pointed at the three people and started talking.
From now on, these three people would become notorious. Even if Lu Rong’s talent wasn’t bad, the Lu family probably wouldn’t vigorously cultivate him if he couldn’t gain back Cheng Miao’s affection.
Everything he had today was due to Cheng Miao. Now he had to give everything back due to Cheng Miao.
As for Jiang Xue’s fate, the Lu family must hate her to death right now. Everyone knew what would happen to her without even thinking about it.
The faces of the people from these three families also turned white and blue. Some people were angry, and some were ashamed.
Before the truth was revealed, they were still working hard to search for Cheng Miao’s whereabouts. They just hoped that Shi Yan wouldn’t vent his anger on their family and wanted to show favor to Shi Yan. They didn’t expect that it was a member of their family who caused all of this.
Don’t talk about how the Cheng family had nothing to do with this matter. Why could Zheng Qianshu come in and out of the Cheng family? Wasn’t it because Cheng Miao’s father’s second wife came from the Zheng family?
No matter how annoyed these three families were, they couldn’t do anything. In the end, they had these three people taken back and handed over to the family for disposal.
After half a day, the mercenaries who were watching the movement in Pingwang City told Cheng Miao and Feng Ming the news.
The first was Jiang Xue. The moment she returned to the Lu family, the Lu family directly kicked out Jiang Xue and announced that this girl had no connection with the Lu family anymore. This meant she could no longer enjoy any protection from the Lu family.
It was conceivable that without any protection, a weak woman’s situation would become worse. Eventually, even survival would become extremely difficult.
Jiang Xue actually had admirers. However, after knowing her true essence, no one dared to approach her. Weren’t they afraid of being harmed by her in the end?
Then there was Lu Rong. They heard that the head of the Lu family enforced the family rules and whipped him. A message was sent out asking Lu Rong to personally apologize to Cheng Miao.
Feng Ming heard this and knew that the Lu family wasn’t giving up yet. They probably wanted to test how much feeling Cheng Miao still had for Lu Rong.
Once Cheng Miao forgave Lu Rong, Shi Yan would definitely be unable to do anything and would have to helplessly accept it in the end.
As Feng Ming had guessed, Zheng Qianshu of the Zheng family was abandoned without mercy by the head of the family. He was directly exiled to a remote town and wouldn’t be responsible for his life or death. The Zheng family also planned to plead guilty to Cheng Miao and Old Shi.
Zheng Qianshu didn’t seem to expect to be treated like this by his family. He was still yelling when he was taken out of the Zheng house, but he was gagged, put into a carriage, and forcibly sent away.
There was no movement from the Cheng family.
The whole incident alarmed everyone in Pingwang City. Many people didn’t expect that Cheng Miao’s incident was actually a plot rather than an accident.
The popularity of this topic had suppressed the fight over the seven-leaf insect flower plant.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo sat under a tree in the courtyard, eating snacks and drinking tea with Cheng Miao while listening to the news brought back from Pingwang City.
The Golden Eagle mercenary group was originally stationed quite a distance away from Pingwang City. As the mercenary group became stronger and stronger, the number of team members they recruited continued to increase. The station gradually became the size of a town.
Now those living in this town weren’t only the families of mercenaries, but also other people who came to seek refuge. Living here, they could enjoy the protection of the Golden Eagle mercenaries. As for paying a certain amount of taxes, wasn’t this what they should do?
Old Shi’s return and the arrival of Cheng Miao were warmly welcomed by everyone in the town.
No one in the town, including the members of the mercenary group, resented Cheng Miao’s poor mercenary skills. They only knew that Cheng Miao was the only blood descendant of Captain Shi. He was the young master of all of them and a key protection target.
These days, many members had gone into the mountains to search for Cheng Miao. The truth about Cheng Miao’s incident spread quickly in the town. Everyone scolded the three people bloody. They didn’t even let go of the Cheng family. In their opinion, the Cheng family wasn’t innocent.
Since the young master was rescued by Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo, they also became honored guests of the Golden Eagle mercenary group and were arranged to rest in the same yard as Cheng Miao.
Cultivator Zhong and the others visited everywhere with great interest. Their small mercenary group dreamed of developing into a large mercenary group like the Golden Eagle mercenary group.
For a large mercenary group, the standards were higher. It needed to meet certain conditions before they could be upgraded to a large mercenary group.
It was also Old Shi who wanted to protect his daughter and later his grandson that slowed down the growth of the Golden Eagle mercenary group. Otherwise, they might’ve become a large mercenary group already.
After listening to what happened in Pingwang City, Feng Ming commented, “Just watch. The Lu family and Cheng family will definitely send someone to find you.”
Cheng Miao was very calm. “I said I don’t want to see them again. Grandpa will definitely stop them.”
Feng Ming patted Cheng Miao on the shoulder. He felt that Cheng Miao was actually a very smart person. He didn’t say anything, but he saw everything and kept it in his heart. He was a person who lived quite clearly.
Feng Ming stopped mentioning those people and dragged Cheng Miao around the town. This town was developed later, and it hadn’t been long, but it was well-equipped with restaurants, markets, and so on.
Cheng Miao often lived in the Cheng family, but he wasn’t unfamiliar with this place. Therefore, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo found a restaurant to eat in a familiar place.
This restaurant was also opened by the mercenary group’s family and was a property that belonged to the mercenary group.
Shi Yan was also very relieved when seeing his grandson happily hanging out with his friends.
The next day, Feng Ming and Cheng Miao were leading a group of children to play the childish game of an eagle catching chicks. Well, this was something Feng Ming taught them.
An older child ran in and shouted, “There are people from the Cheng family and Lu family. They are trying to enter the town, but were stopped. Brother Miao Miao, they all said that they want to see you.”
Feng Ming was sweaty from playing and stopped when he heard this. Bai Qiaomo wiped his sweat for him. In his eyes, Junior Brother wasn’t much older than these children.
Cheng Miao was also surrounded by children. They all asked with concern, “Brother Miao Miao, do you want to see them? Why don’t we go over and beat them away?”
“Yes, they are all bad guys who bully Brother Miao Miao. Let’s beat up the bad guys.”
These children were all filled with indignation when they learned about what happened to Cheng Miao. If the adults hadn’t stopped them, they would’ve gone to Pingwang City to teach the bad guys a lesson yesterday.
Cheng Miao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He patted each of them on the head and said with a smile, “Let the adults handle whatever happens to you. It doesn’t matter whether they come or not. I won’t go to see them.”
Feng Ming rolled his eyes a few times and said to Cheng Miao, “You continue to play with the children. We will go out for a walk and will be back soon.”
Then Feng Ming pulled Bai Qiaomo and ran away. Cheng Miao shook his head helplessly. He knew that Brother Xiao Qiao was going to the gate of the town to watch the excitement.
He also knew that Brother Xiao Qiao was actually a ger like him.
