Behind the mother and son, there was a seemingly elegant man silently watching everything, his gaze as deep as the sea.
"It's still fun outside. I can see a lot of new things!" Feng'er excitedly looked at the people on the street who were acting, the people who were playing the candy, the people who were commenting on books, singing small songs, and the merchants who were selling all kinds of things.
Her beautiful and charming eyes were filled with excitement.
"Miss, let's go back. It's so tiring to continue walking like this!" The maid Huan'er behind him, felt uncomfortable when she saw that there were so many people on the street looking at her young miss. He wanted to persuade her to go back. The young lady was young, but she looked sweet and charming, especially her narrow, curved eyes. She was still young, but she was also very pretty. However, she also loved to look at the new things on the street. As she walked, her small face was captivating. Her smiling eyes even made several men look at her continuously.
Fortunately, she was young, and if she were older, she wouldn't be able to walk the streets. That pair of eyes could hook a person's soul away.
"Hey, what's the group of people talking about over there?" It's so interesting to hear it! "
There were quite a few small merchants not far from him. Unexpectedly, they did not even look at their stalls and surrounded them as they chatted with great interest. Feng'er's curiosity was once again piqued. lead the mother and son along with Huan'er, and dove into that group of people together.
Someone saw that she was small but possessed of an extraordinary temperament and turned her face to stare at her. She was not annoyed, and smiled brightly at her elder sister-in-law, "Beautiful elder sister-in-law, I'm very curious as to what you two are talking about here. You actually don't even want to do business with someone! "
On her delicate and tender face, that smile actually bloomed into two deep dimples. That pair of eyes in particular was smiling to the point of bewitching a hundred times. It was so bright that it seemed as if she could speak. For a moment, such a happy little fairy like child was actually able to cause the merchant woman who was questioned to be stunned. After coming back to his senses, he chuckled. "Little kid, we just heard that the three year old man from Haorann Kingdom, the young master who shot tigers at five years old, is actually coming to our country! "I really can't imagine, since he was only eight years old, such a huge event could be seen by my eldest sister-in-law for the rest of her life, truly a great blessing!"
Feng'er smiled sweetly at the aunt, then turned and left.
At this moment, her small eyes were filled with excitement. Then, another line of thought flashed across her eyes. That prodigy who was even more famous than himself was actually coming to his own country. This time, he had to think of a way to meet him. See if he's as smart as the rumors say.
A wave of arrogance rose involuntarily from within his heart. The five-year-old Feng'er, had always had a goal which was to surpass that man. However, what she didn't know was that when he was four years old, that man had already plotted against her ? And a lot of her life was guided by that child prodigy! Her relationship with him began from the moment her parents entered the Wu Family Village.
"Miss, are we still strolling around?"
Seeing Feng'er being so quiet, Huan'er actually felt uncomfortable. This young miss, as long as she didn't make a sound, would always give her an uncomfortable feeling. She was always very noisy.
Without turning back, Feng'er took small steps towards the ancient residence.
Soon after, the mother and son duo also followed silently.
The moment he entered the courtyard, he saw Gu Gang holding a chair and sitting on the corridor. From the posture, he knew that he was waiting for Feng'er to return.
Feng'er secretly glanced at his black complexion, then looked at his mother who stood behind him in silence. With her pink tongue, she picked up the pastries and a long blade, flying straight towards Gu Gang. Father, look, I bought some pastries for mother and a long sword for you! Father, try it yourself and see if it's convenient for you? " I swear to God, this sword is for myself. However, I'll coax you first.
Gu Gang heard that this little girl who only knew how to bully people all day actually bought a sword for him. In his heart, he felt a little moved.
However, a girl was at least five years old. If she was a normal girl, it would still be possible for her to walk the streets at this age. However, ever since she was born, there had been too many rumors regarding her, and those rumors had attracted too much attention. Speaking of which, every time she went out, she would say that she went out secretly. In fact, there were many families that were secretly paying attention to her.
There had been rumors recently, and they heard that the Emperor had also sent people to secretly investigate about Feng'er. That person revealed a hidden meaning, which was that he wanted to point Feng'er out to the tyrant's Eleventh Prince.
Once they entered the waiting room, it was precisely because they did not want to live a life that went against their will, that they would resolutely resign and go into seclusion. Who knew that even though he had just given birth to a disciple, his glory was too great, and his wish to return to seclusion was still discovered by others. If the Emperor were to find out that he was his subordinate back then, then Feng'er's fate would probably be to truly be appointed as the Eleventh Prince's bride!
It was because he did not want to involve the imperial government anymore, that was why Gu Gang wanted to imprison Feng'er inside the house, so that the sound of the wind outside would gradually die down.
"Have you finished embroidering the flower?" It was a cold question, devoid of any emotion.
Feng'er's small body shivered, she did not expect her sword to not have the expected effect. With difficulty, he raised his head to look at his mother who was standing behind his father, but Lou Lanxi could only remain silent, as he did not seem to have the intention of saving her life. It seemed that he could only speak the truth.
When his scalp tightened, Feng'er could only admit: "No embroidery!"
Gu Gang laughed, and suddenly shook the whip in his hand: "Very good, at only five years old you won't listen to me! It looks like I have been too indulgent towards you in the past! " With that, he swung his whip.
Since he was young, his father had never hit him before. This time, it was just him going out on the streets on his own, but he actually used a whip to hit Feng'er. He was dumbfounded as well.
He stared blankly at Gu Gang with gritted teeth, neither crying nor making a ruckus, but that stubborn, resentful gaze, was silently complaining to him. He hadn't done anything wrong. The one who was wrong was the lord father.
Being stared at so fiercely by her, Gu Gang also felt very bad in his heart. However, he had to hit the whip this time. Otherwise, this child would be too arrogant and too indulgent. He didn't know what he would become in the future. Lou Lanxi, who was standing behind him, had originally agreed with him teaching Feng'er. But now, when she saw disciple being beaten up, her heart ached and her face hurt. It truly hurt his son's body, it hurt his mother. Feng'er still hadn't cried, but she had tears in her eyes.
"Alright, you little bastard. I whipped you once, and you're still staring at me like that. Do you think that I was wrong to discipline you? Let me find you, let me beat you up again, you disobedient little thing! "
Even though Gu Gang had shown mercy, but he was a martial artist after all. When the whip hit Feng'er's weak body, it actually caused her clothes to be ripped. Although he couldn't see what the muscles inside were like, he could imagine that it was definitely a mass of swelling.
"Brother Gu, she's still young, you can't treat her like this. Furthermore, she's a woman, how can you treat her like a man? If this continues, how can she withstand it? "
That mother and son duo would never have thought that their new master would be whipped the moment they returned. Seeing the little girl Huan'er kneeling down and begging for mercy, the two of them started to plead together.
At this time, Gu Gang finally noticed the mother and son. He squinted his eyes, and a hint of light flashed past his eyes, that whip did not aim for Feng'er's body, but instead struck the boy kneeling beside the woman.
