C126 Trouble came as scheduled
On the second day in Full moon party, two people went to find Gongsun Zaitian. The first person who found him was his mother, Murong Fenghuang.
Murong Fenghuang walked into Gongsun Ze Tian's room and chased all the servants outside the hut. Then, she carried Gongsun Ze Tian and beat him up with a "crackling" sound, in accordance to his soft and tender buttocks.
The anger in Murong Fenghuang's heart, not only was she angry, she was also a little afraid. Fortunately, she could still accept the outcome, otherwise, it wouldn't just be this beating.
This could be a small matter, what would happen if the servant was not found? If people knew that all of this was planned by this little baby in front of them, what would happen? Most importantly, he was an indirect accomplice. Thinking up to this point, Murong Fenghuang stopped his fat hands from beating up Gongsun Ze Tian.
"Hmph, you are getting bolder and bolder. You can even think of such a rotten idea. Hurry up and call for me from the ground!" Murong Fenghuang placed her hands on her waist and stared furiously at Gongsun Zaitian, as if she was going to chop Gongsun Zaitian into pieces if she didn't call for help.
"Mother, calm down first. Allow me to slowly tell you." Gongsun Ztian said with a fawning expression.
"Speak!" Murong Fenghuang was still angry, but she found a chair and sat down.
"Actually, this is what happened..." That's it! " After nearly two hours of explanation, Gongsun Zaitian had brought out his grievances and injustices to the extreme. In the process of narration, he had avoided those things that he had taken advantage of, and tried his best to create himself as the 'three great' representative of a new era, giving a vivid picture of his helplessness and innocence.
But who was Murong Fenghuang? How could she still not understand what was going on? Although she did not expose her son's clumsy lie, her cold attitude told Gongsun Zaitian, "I don't believe it, I want the truth."
Helpless, he suffered another round of 'smacking of fart' attacks. Gongsun Zaitian finally gave in and honestly told everything that had happened and his thoughts.
"Hmph, that's more like it!" When Murong Fenghuang heard the whole story, her anger turned into happiness, and she no longer had that icy face of her.
"I've already told the truth! There's definitely nothing to hide! " Gongsun Ze Tian promised solemnly.
"If you don't say it like that, then I really think that you've explained everything clearly. With such a sincere attitude, I feel that there's nothing more to hide from me!" Murong Fenghuang curled her lips, and looked at Gongsun Zaitian with a playful expression, obviously trying to say: "Little brat, let's see how long you can keep pretending for."
"There's really nothing else!" Gongsun Zaitian was on the verge of tears. With the existence of such a sagacious old lady, was he still going to live?
"I'm guessing that you've reaped a bountiful harvest this time. It's still a rather bountiful harvest. You've even inadvertently ignored the looted spoils of war in your two statements. I'm afraid you don't want me to know?" Murong Fenghuang did not have the mood to continue teasing this ghost spirit's son, so she directly said it out loud.
"Mom, can you not be so smart? It's not good to be too smart. It's not right, it's ?" Gongsun Ztian wanted to change the topic.
"Tch, this is called 'a foot higher than the heavens and a foot higher than the demons'. Son, learn from me!" I want half of the 'spoils of war' you looted. If you dare to hide it away and refuse to give it to me, I'll tell your father and see how he destroys his family! " Murong Fenghuang said boldly to Gongsun Zaitian, with an unrelenting stance, and a threatening tone in her words.
"All right, all right! Your son has just gained some clout with the family, and I don't have any more! I'm so poor! " Gongsun Zaitian burst into tears. This was too bullying. Even Zhou Pi had never been so ruthless.
Murong Fenghuang found her son's actions somewhat funny, and asked: "You little b * stard, what do you want so much money for?"
"Of course it's to recruit new soldiers and hire all the girls in the world!" Gongsun Ze Tian stood in the crib, raised his foot and placed it on the bed. He assumed a 'reprimanding posture', giving off the feeling of a Napoleon possessing his body.
After another round of beatings, Murong Fenghuang directly asked for two-thirds of her' spoils of war '. Her reputation was so that she had saved up his betrothal gift for him. However, from Gongsun Ztian's point of view, it was most likely a 'meat bun beating a dog'.
"Looks like I have to think of another way to earn money!" Gongsun Zaitian thought to himself.
"Xiao San, you've struck the wrong spot this time. Not only did you ruin the reputation of the branch family, you've also isolated the entire branch family. Perhaps, if they were to seek external help again, they won't be able to do anything." Furthermore, this move made the direct descendant of the Situ Family take this opportunity to rope in a lot of powers. At the same time, it indirectly made the forces that assassinated your father and I to create even more enemies. Murong Fenghuang said with praise.
However, these words, no matter how he listened to it, sounded like 'giving a sweet jujube a slap' to Gongsun Ze.
"Thank you, mother, for not blaming me for acting so recklessly. It's just that you've asked for too much. Do you want to lower it a little more?" Gongsun Zaitian felt very bad for his' spoils of war '. He had not covered his mouth with his hands yet for those things, so he had to give them to someone else. Anyone who saw this would feel extremely pained.
"Hmph, petty. Can't I save it for you? Look at how old you are right now. Do you really need to use these things? " Murong Fenghuang retorted snappily. In any case, there was only one word, "No".
Even after Gongsun Ze Tian had spent so much time and effort to talk and spit out stars, his advice was still fruitless. He could only watch helplessly as his mother took two-thirds of all his' spoils of war 'away.
As the proverb goes, there is no way out. Just as Murong Fenghuang returned with a great victory, another person came. This person was none other than Imperial Overwatch Council's Principal, Huangfu Wuji.
"Brother Duanmu, can I trouble you to stand guard outside the door for me for a while? I'll help this child inspect it." Huangfu Wuji looked straight at Gongsun Ze Tian who was sleeping soundly on the crib, and spoke to Duanmu Weili who was by his side without turning his head.
"Alright, Headmaster, please!" Duanmu Weili bowed and left the house, closing the door.
Huangfu Wuji sized up the room once more, found a random chair to sit on, and then refocused his gaze on Gongsun Ze Tian. He looked at him for a long time, but was still fast asleep, and the person watching still looked at him.
"Cough cough, how long are you going to continue pretending to be asleep?" Huangfu Wuji shook his head helplessly, and coughed twice, before he took the initiative to ask.
However, Gongsun Ze Tian was still sleeping soundly. There was even a shiny saliva flowing out of the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe, do you want me to invite that little girl Murong over for a listen as well?" Seeing that Gongsun Ze Tian remained indifferent and did not seem to wake up at all, the smile on Huangfu Wuji's face became even more cheerful. However, people with high IQ usually knew how to make their opponents submit easily, just like now.
"Why is an old man like you so shameless?" It was obvious that Gongsun Ztian had suffered a severe blow from his mother just now. The frequency of this conditioned reflex, upon hearing the word 'Murong', directly jumped up.
"My position will determine my face and character." Huangfu Wuji said without a trace of shame.
"Didn't you say 'your ass determines your thinking'?" Gongsun Ztian asked.
"But without a certain thickness of face and a shameless nature, how high do you think your butt can sit?" Huangfu Wuji answered seriously, as if he was not surprised at all by Gongsun Ze Tian's actions.
"That's true!" Gongsun Ze Tian thoughtfully nodded his head.
"Do you want to continue discussing 'face' and 'butt' with me?" Huangfu Wuji had obviously grasped the power of speech, although he was the one who spoke first, but at the moment, he had already regained the right to speak.
"Come on, I'm not the least bit interested in what a man is capable of doing. Right, isn't it said that age and patience are good? Why are you so impatient? Also, why aren't you surprised at how I can speak and how I behave? " Gongsun Ztian asked. Because he had been scared by his mother's name, he had not considered exposing himself. Now that he saw that the other party was not surprised at all, he immediately became suspicious.
"Haha, I will explain it later!" Huangfu Wuji kept them in suspense.
"Fine, then tell me the purpose of your visit!" Gongsun Ze Tian also let down his initial vigilance. He jumped down from the crib, walked to Huangfu Wuji's side, and also found a chair to sit on.
"Do you know who I am? Don't you need me to introduce myself? " Huangfu Wuji saw that the child did not treat him as if he was an elder and instead treated him as if he was talking about business, which surprised him a little, hence he asked a question in reply.
"In order to save my precious time, it's better if you keep your mouth shut!" Gongsun Ze Tian unceremoniously stopped the other party's self-introductions. Even if Gongsun Ze didn't know his name and where he came from, he still couldn't ask about it at this time. Once his identity was revealed, what sort of status did Gongsun Ze Tian have for the rest of the conversation, elder? Master? These were not the nicknames Gongsun Zaitian liked, the most important thing was not to discuss the terms. Therefore, at this moment, it was' one must be foolish if he can pretend to be stupid '.
"Haha, youngsters really have no patience. Alright, I'll get back to business!" Huangfu Wuji had obviously seen through Gongsun Ze Tian's thoughts, and did not expose him, and continued to speak.
"Go ahead!"
"Originally, the reason I came to Situ Family this time was mainly to treat your illness. Brother Duanmu had already told me about your condition, so I wanted to personally take a look at it out of curiosity."
Gongsun Ztian did not say anything. It was obvious that the other party still had more to say. He expressed his wish to continue listening.
Huangfu Wuji glanced at Gongsun Ze Tian, and continued to laugh: "But at the banquet, I already noticed that you were different. Even though you acted very secretively, you still planned to expose yourself in some details, if I didn't have a keen observation, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been able to discover it."
"Is that why you saw me speak without being surprised?" Gongsun Ztian asked in puzzlement.
"Not entirely, or part of it is! You should not know, and the number of people on this continent that know about this matter probably does not exceed ten. " Huangfu Wuji stroked his beard, and spoke with an expression of reminiscence.
"What is it?" Gongsun Ztian asked. Such a secretive matter actually had something to do with him?
"Divine Spirit Body!"
