Chapter 391: Secrets of the Rong Family
d been carefully opened in the window by Qingzhu, allowing fresh air to flow in. 。She got up, picked up the little Yu Jing who had already woken up and was blinking at her with big eyes, opened the do...“Dragon Guard” Elder Bai looked stunned, taking a while to register the term. “No wonder my family warned me to watch out for you before I came here. You were so weak the other day, I said things that were probably hurtful, but you didn't even say a word back. Now it seems your reinforcements haven't arrived yet. You are quite patient. The head of the family said that over these years you’ve cultivated your own forces. At first, I didn't take it seriously. What kind of useful people could a cast-off from a family cultivate It seems like this old woman underestimated you.”
Fu Zimo smiled faintly without speaking. He didn't look at the quarreling crowd, but instead looked meaningfully at Elder Bai, "Elder Bai, why do you always keep this prince thousands of miles away Although I don't trust Rong, after all, I have half the blood of the Rong family flowing through my veins. Can't the power I cultivated also be used by the main family This prince has what the main family wants in his hands, so the main family will naturally keep this prince alive. As for Elder Bai... to this prince, you represent only one person from the main family. If something really happened to you during this trip outside, do you think the main family would choose to sacrifice you for what this prince has"
His words angered the old woman, and she struck her cane hard, shouting angrily: “You impudent brat! Don’t spout nonsense! I am Rong family's third elder, born in the Rong family, raised in the Rong family. Even if you truly hurt me, my family would definitely not spare your life!”
“Oh” Fu Zi Mo didn’t take her anger to heart, instead his voice grew colder. “But I heard that Elder Bai inherited your father's position. If the Elder position wasn't hereditary, with Elder Bai's aptitude, he probably wouldn't even pass the basic physique selection in the Rong family, right If Elder Bai was truly as important as he claims, then why hasn’t anyone come to propose marriage all these years”
Perhaps Fu Zimu's last words hit the old woman's sore spot. She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, holding her cane aloft and about to strike Fu Zimu. All these years, no one had come to visit beforehand, which was also a humiliation for her.
In the Rong family, strength is paramount. Although she held the esteemed position of elder, her actual abilities were mediocre. Moreover, being pampered since childhood by loving parents who also held high status within the Rong family, she became accustomed to being domineering and arrogant. None of the elite men carefully selected by the Rong family found her appealing, and her status prevented her from marrying anyone casually. Thus, she remained an old maid until she grew past her prime.
“You little bastard, I’ll kill you, the spawn of the Rong family, today!” Elder Bai raised her cane and charged at Fu Zimu. In her eyes, someone like Fu Zimu, who had no bloodline, shouldn't exist in this world. At this time, his Dragon Hidden Guard was already entangled with two men in white, unable to rescue him. She didn't believe she couldn't kill a cripple!
As the cane was about to strike Fu Zimu's head, Elder Bai clearly used all his strength, pouring all his internal energy into the cane. It brought up gusts of wind. With this kind of force, not to mention an immobile Fu Zimu, even a general master would find it difficult to dodge.
Fu Zi Mo let out a cold snort, but he looked straight at Elder Bai as he charged towards him, his eyes showing not the slightest bit of fear.
And just as the cane was about to fall on Fu Zi Mo's head, he suddenly laughed, a fox-like smile, the kind that betrayed a successful scheme.
At that moment, Elder Bai's heart skipped a beat. Instinctively, she wanted to retract her cane, but she had already used all her strength and couldn't hold back the momentum. She could only watch helplessly as her cane, about to strike Fu Zimo's head, was deflected by a long sword.
The longsword parried the walking stick, a sharp clang echoing in Elder Bai's ears. The sound was so jarring that it caused her bones to throb with pain.
"Second Elder... "Elder Bai Chang was not expecting it. The one who suddenly appeared before him was Rong Family's Second Elder, Rong Zhu.
“From now on, you are no longer an elder of the Rong family.” Rong Ju was a man in his fifties, yet he showed no signs of aging. He was tall and energetic, clearly a man who would have easily attracted the attention of women when he was young. “You can only call me Second Brother if you are the Third Elder of the Rong family. If you are not the Third Elder, then you should still address me as the Third Elder, just like the other disciples of the Rong family.”
"No, what on earth is going on How did you get here" Elder Bai trembled with anger, his cane shaking in his hand. "You say I'm not one of the three elders of the Rong family, then I'm not What gives you that right"
"That's all it takes." Rongju pulled out a token. The moment the white elder saw the token, he stumbled back several steps. "The Patriarch's Token... The Patriarch sent you Didn't the Patriarch send me to carry out this mission Why..."
"You still don't understand what's going on, do you" Rongju shook his head and sighed.
"Elder Two, why don't I explain to Elder Bai" Fu Zi Mo snorted coldly, looking at Elder Bai as if he were an ant. "With your mind, you managed to become an elder of the Rong family Do you think everyone agrees with that The Rong family has so many elites, how could they allow a waste like you to become an elder All these years, has the Rong family ever entrusted you with any important tasks Although I don't know for sure, I can guess it's definitely not. But this time you were brought here, my importance to the Rong family is not as insignificant as you said, on the contrary, I am far more important than you imagine. And you, you can't even see this clearly, and yet you dare to provoke me repeatedly."
Fu Zimuo shook his head slightly as he spoke, but the wicked smile on his lips only made people angrier. "I called you here this time just to make you make a mistake. You made a mistake, so it gives my family an excuse to deal with you, right If you had been obedient and not come to provoke me, that would have been fine, but you insisted on provoking me. While you were showing off your quick tongue, I endured it. The more I endured, the higher your arrogance rose. Look, you couldn't help but want to attack me, could you But, Rong family doesn't want me dead, so..."
“You are a bastard born to a wretch. Why should I give you any face I’m going to teach you a lesson, insult you, and make that little bastard uneasy even in death!” Elder Bai was still unrelenting at this point, the hatred in his eyes becoming increasingly unconcealable.
Fu Zi Mo's face finally slowly sank, "So that's how it is, it seems you had some history with this king's mother. Looking at your hideous appearance, it's no wonder you would be jealous of this king's mother. After all, this king was once a breathtaking beauty."
"Shut up! What's so captivating about her She just has the face of a fox spirit! If she hadn't used her seductive tricks, my senior brother wouldn't have betrayed the Rong family and ended up dismembered!"
"Shut up!" When Rong Ju heard the old man Bai say this, he suddenly seemed flustered. His eyes sharpened abruptly, and he raised his long sword, stabbing towards the old man Bai's chest.
