TFHS: Chapter 120

Just as Cheng Miao thought, Feng Ming was rushing to the town gate to watch the excitement.

The moment he and Bai Qiaomo arrived, a lot of people had gathered here and many curses could be heard.

This was when people in the town made a concentrated effort to scold the Lu and Cheng families for bullying their young master. They thought they would just come to make amends and that would be the end of it?

The two of them squeezed into the crowd and could clearly see what was going on outside. Feng Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Yesterday, he heard that Lu Rong had been whipped by his family. He looked so miserable when seeing him today. He was so weak that he had to be supported by others, or he wouldn’t be able to stand firmly.

He was wearing clothes and could rush here from Pingwang City, but the wounds on his body had already burst open. His clothes were almost soaked with blood.

Feng Ming told Bai Qiaomo loudly, “Is this the Lu family’s trick? Do you think Cheng Miao would feel bad when he saw it?”

Bai Qiaomo glanced at Feng Ming with amusement. This guy did it on purpose. If they weren’t a bit far away, he probably would’ve wanted to say it directly to Lu Rong.

Bai Qiaomo followed her words and said, “Not necessarily. I think Young Master Cheng is a person who will never change his mind. Now that he has given up, how can he feel bad?”

Seeing Bai Qiaomo look so polite, Feng Ming patted his shoulder in reward. “Yes, I think so too. The Lu family’s bitter trick isn’t bad, but Lu Rong has known Cheng Miao for so many years. Does he still not understand what type of temper Cheng Miao has?”

Even he and Bai Qiaomo, who had only been in contact with Cheng Miao for a short time, knew what type of person he was inside.

Lu Rong was really blind. He was deceiving himself. He thought that he had no responsibility as long as he didn’t do it himself. Would Cheng Miao forgive him?

Bai Qiaomo smiled. “It isn’t that he didn’t see it. It is just that he is blind. Otherwise, how could he not see the true face of his cousin next to him?”

“That’s right. Isn’t he just a blind person?” Feng Ming said loudly again.

“Oh, these two brothers are right. I think this guy surnamed Lu is just trying to soften up the young master of our Golden Eagle mercenary group! He doesn’t even know who he is. How could our boss let the young master be cared for by such a thing?

“Yes yes, he is just blind. We must not put this thing into the town to hinder the young master and the boss.”

“The Cheng family is also nothing. The young master was almost killed when he was left there for them to care for him. If they can’t take care of him well, then he can come back to the Golden Eagle mercenary group.”

“How can that man surnamed Cheng feel reluctant towards our young master? He is reluctant to give up the benefits of our boss. That person surnamed Cheng pretended to come to pick up the young master in person. Does he really think the young master would be soft-hearted?”

“Even if our young master is soft-hearted, our boss won’t be soft-hearted. I don’t know how much our young master has suffered all those years staying in the Cheng family. As the old saying goes, if you have a stepmother then you will have a stepfather. The young master has always reported good things but not bad things.”

Listening to this, the people around him described Cheng Miao as someone who was bullied. The boy was so pitiful that they felt sorry for their young master.

No matter how lowly the Lu family and Cheng family acted, no one at the scene was soft-hearted. They didn’t let these people enter the town, but even drove them away.

After making trouble for a long time, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo started watching the excitement. Finally, a deputy captain of the mercenary group belatedly arrived.

Even if he came, he looked at the people of the Cheng family and Lu family as if they weren’t people.

“I asked the boss. He said that since the young master said he doesn’t want to see you again, you had better get as far away as you can and don’t enter the young master’s eyes. These words are left here. If you dare to harass us, it won’t be a good thing. You will be directly beaten out.”

“Everyone, please guard the door and don’t let any of them in. Do you hear?”

“Yes, deputy captain. Not even a flying insect can escape our eyes!” The doorkeeper shouted.

Cheng Miao’s biological father, Father Cheng, didn’t expect his ex-father-in-law to be so shameless, and his expression became distorted.

Father Cheng had been used to being praised by others over the years. How could he bear this? He had long wanted to leave. Hearing these words again, what was left?

“Let’s go!” Father Cheng said with a stern expression. He turned around and got on the carriage. No matter what, he was Cheng Miao’s biological father.

The deputy captain stared at Father Cheng’s back with pity. The man surnamed Cheng didn’t even have this patience.

After watching this scene, he really couldn’t believe that his father really loved Cheng Miao, who was somehow ignored in the Cheng family.

Maybe there was nothing lacking in life, and good food and drinks were provided, but he probably didn’t get much emotional response.

The Cheng family was so brave. Did they think that by climbing up the Zheng family, they could make the Golden Eagle mercenary group look bad?

The Cheng family was dreaming!

Everything they gained would have to be paid back in the future!

Lu Ronng didn’t expect that Cheng Miao wouldn’t show up even when he came here like this.

Cheng Miao had always been soft-hearted or he wouldn’t have come to Lu Rong’s rescue in Pingwang City.

He hadn’t expected his cousin to be so vicious that she wanted to kill Cheng Miao, or he would’ve never kept her by his side and let her come into contact with Cheng Miao.

However, Cheng Miao didn’t even give him a chance to apologize in person.

Half an hour after Father Cheng left, the Lu family didn’t see Cheng Miao show up. They gave up and had to leave by carriage.

After they left, the Zheng family showed up. The Zheng family went directly to the deputy captain, gave him a storage ring and told him what they had done with Zheng Qianshu.

They didn’t shirk the Zheng family’s responsibility. It was all due to the Zheng family’s negligence and lax discipline, which almost led to a catastrophe.

This attitude was much more sincere than that of the Cheng and Lu families. The deputy captain’s expression softened a bit, but he didn’t accept the gift.

“I will bring your words to the boss, but what the boss decides isn’t something we can interfere with. Your Zheng family can do it yourself. Our young master has suffered a lot.”

“Yes yes, it is our Zheng family’s fault. We are willing to compensate Young Master Cheng. This is another surprise gift for Young Master Cheng. Please deliver it to him.”

The deputy captain still didn’t accept it. This was something he also had to ask Cheng Miao. He couldn’t make the decision.

The Zheng family could only wait outside. The deputy captain turned back to ask for instructions from the boss.

Of course, Shi Yan hadn’t calmed down yet. He snorted after knowing what the three families had done. “It is one after another. The heart of the Cheng family has grown. As time passes, the Cheng family will climb to greater power, and they won’t take even our Golden Eagle seriously. Then my grandson will really suffer.”

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late. He took his grandson with him to take care of him.

“I don’t let the things of the Zheng family. Ask Miao’er. If Miao’er wants it, accept it. If he doesn’t, just let them go.”

“Okay, Boss. I’ll go ask the young master for instructions.”

Cheng Miao, who was still playing with the children, listened to the deputy captain explain his intentions. He thought for a while before saying, “Then accept it as long as they promise not to show up in front of me again.”

He was also thinking about his grandfather and the Golden Eagle mercenary group. He didn’t want to cause trouble for Golden Eagle and make it a situation where there were enemies on all sides.

He knew that Zheng Qianshu’s ability to obtain the beast-attracting powder was inseparable from the Zheng family, and Jiang Xue couldn’t have done it without them, but the Zheng family had already dealt with Zheng Qianshu. There was no need for him to hold onto it.

After all, nothing happened to him in the eyes of outsiders.

The deputy captain didn’t know what Cheng Miao was thinking, so he touched his head and said, “This kid, you are too soft-hearted. Yes, we won’t take these things for nothing. That will be too cheap for the Zheng family.”

As for the Lu family and Cheng family, what made him sneer was that even though they also brought gifts, it wasn’t surface gifts. It was different from the Zheng family, who directly stuffed the gifts into the storage ring. This showed that the Zheng family’s gifts wouldn’t be light.

What’s more, the Zheng family’s troubles weren’t so easy to solve. Just the beast-attracting powder alone would cause trouble. The Mercenary Hall wouldn’t let the Zheng family off easily.

Several layers of skin still had to be torn off if the Zheng family wanted to escape safely.

Cheng Miao smiled. He wasn’t soft-hearted, or he wouldn’t have refused to see his father.

Others didn’t tell him and thought he didn’t know that his father had come.

As the deputy captain delivered the surprise gift to Cheng Miao, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo took a walk outside and came back.

They both knew Cheng Miao’s decision, but Feng Ming didn’t think it was a big deal. He almost lost his life, so wouldn’t it be appropriate for him to receive some gifts to calm down his shock?

Feng Ming didn’t say anything about Lu Rong’s miserable appearance because he knew that Cheng Miao didn’t want to have anything to do with this man anymore.

So why get involved? It was enough for him to go and have fun.

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo continued to stay in the town. Later, like Cultivator Zhong, they chatted with the mercenaries and listened to the various situations they encountered during missions, especially their adventure experiences. Later, they even brought Cheng Miao to listen to them.

At the same time, news from outside also reached Feng Ming’s ears. For example, the Cheng family sent someone over the next day, but Father Cheng didn’t show up and they still weren’t allowed to enter the town. On the third day, the people of the Cheng family disappeared.

The Lu family persisted for five days, showing great perseverance. Every time Lu Rong was injured and came in person, presumably, some of the women in Pingwang City were moved by his actions.

It was a pity that the people of the Golden Eagle mercenary group were very hard-hearted and weren’t accommodating at all. If they weren’t allowed in then they weren’t allowed in. They couldn’t even send a message to Young Master Cheng Miao.

In the end, Lu Rong gave up. Five days later, he never appeared outside the town again.

There was news that Lu Rong had become ill due to this. As expected, there were voices sympathetic to him in Pingwang City, which made Feng Ming laugh.

Those who sympathized with Lu Rong should marry Lu Rong themselves, experience life after marriage and see if they could endure Lu Rong being surrounded by his cousin and other gers.

During this period, Cheng Miao didn’t just enjoy the life of a young master. After two days of rest, he went to the training ground to exercise with the children every day.

At the same time, he wanted to do something within his power. Shi Yan saw this and assigned his grandson to internal affairs. This didn’t require much force and was very suitable for his grandson’s comfortable temperament.

Cheng Miao was extremely satisfied with having something to do. He lived a fulfilling life every day since coming here, which was much happier than when he stayed at the Cheng family.

Shi Yan found Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo and said bluntly, “I want to take people to Netherworld Valley. I wonder what your plans are?”
