Chapter 78 The Herbalist is Charming (Seventy-Five)
The kneeling subordinate quickly confessed his guilt, knowing that the Great Protector's dissatisfaction stemmed from the Cult Leader, who had eliminated the shady shop for Murong Xing's sake. That shady shop had been supplying the Cult with large sums of money and passing on information for years, making it a crucial base for the Demon Cult.
Originally, he thought that the Great Protector had not expressed anything and did not care. Now it seems that the Great Protector is not willing to see the leader cut off his own strength for Miss Murong.
There must have been some complaints within the sect. After all, people who had made contributions to the sect were killed without authorization. However, there was a great protector who suppressed the situation, and the higher-ups who learned about it did not make a fuss.
The followers who did not know the identity of the leader thought that he was just a kid who had just entered the world of martial arts and was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. They gathered people and prepared to kill the leader. Fortunately, the great protector found out in time and stopped them, thus avoiding infighting.
"In the leader's heart, the most important person is naturally the Great Protector!"
Luo Zi smiled charmingly and said nothing.
"Leng Yu wants to steal the Demon Sect and turn it into a phoenix. I, Luo Zi, have no objection, but he'd better be careful with his words and actions. Last time, he chased Murong Feng and forced Murong Feng to jump into the river. If he is still alive, do you think he will let Leng Yu go?"
"This... Murong Feng was poisoned, he should have died long ago, right? How could he have kidnapped the leader?"
Luo Zi looked at his white and tender fingers and said slowly, "Murong Villa is not worried about Murong Xing's whereabouts. My men heard that Murong Sheng ordered the housekeeper to clean Murong Xing's yard again. You said that the person is missing, and you are not in a hurry to look for him, so why are you cleaning the yard?"
"Could it be Murong Sheng? No, no, no, he has always doted on Miss Murong. Even if he listened to Murong Feng and disliked the leader, he would not forcibly take her away and make Miss Murong unhappy."
"If...if it's Murong Feng, then the leader is in danger! Great Protector, you must rescue the leader immediately! It will be too late if you're late!"
Luo Zi glanced at the people below and had no interest in talking to him anymore. She clapped her jade hands lightly and a man in black came in from outside.
"Take them and rescue the leader. After rescuing him, tell him not to underestimate anyone. If you don't remove the grass at its roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze. Since you want to kill Murong Feng, don't let him live."
"Yes, I obey the order."
The two of them respectfully took their leave.
The hall fell silent. Luo Zi thought about the little boy who grew up with him. Before he knew it, the little boy had gotten married and had children. Unfortunately, he had long forgotten what he said when he was a child.
"Sister, you are so beautiful. When your brother grows up, he will definitely marry you and make you the leader's wife!"
The nine-year-old boy smiled sincerely, clenched his little fists, looked at his sister who was two years older than him, and spoke childishly.
The girl smiled dotingly: "How old are you, my brother? Are you already thinking about getting married? When you grow up and see more beauties, you won't want to marry me."
"No way! Grandpa only has two of us as his descendants. Don't they say childhood sweethearts are best? We're a match made in heaven!"
Recalling his childhood, Luo Zi's smile was rarely genuine.
"Oh, forget it. Leng Yu is a liar. I don't want him! That Murong Xing got the upper hand!"
……
For several days, Murong Xing traveled with her brother, but she didn't see Leng Yu.
Murong Xing: "Brother, please let me see him. I will go home with you after I see him."
Murong Xing pulled Murong Feng's arm and acted coquettishly.
Murong Feng picked up the water chestnut cake prepared in the carriage and blocked her mouth.
Murong Feng: "I was in a hurry to get out this morning. You must not have eaten enough. Eat more."
Murong Xing groaned and was forced to swallow the pastry.
Murong Xing: "Brother! What are you doing? I really like Leng Yu, please don't hurt him! Let him go quickly, otherwise... otherwise I will go on a hunger strike!"
Murong Feng: "Why are you so ungrateful? I've already told you that he's a wicked man and we can't let him go. Besides, it was clearly him who poisoned and tried to kill me first, so why are you trying to turn the tables on him?"
Murong Xing: "But aren't you fine now? The one in trouble is Leng Yu!"
Murong Xing thought about it and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Murong Xing: "Are you going to let him go or not? If you don't, I'll really go on a hunger strike! When I see Daddy, I'll tell him you're not giving me food and you're trying to starve me to death!"
