C248 The door (in the) trouble

Seeing the two of them leave, Murong Fenghuang used a gaze to signal his husband and uncle to go speak to them. The two of them understood what Murong Fenghuang meant and followed him to leave.

Upon arriving at the study room, Situ Qingyun took the initiative to ask: "Sister-in-law, what's going on? It was indeed my nephew who helped to quell the chaos in the city. Why can't you say so? "

"You have been a general all these years for nothing? Ol 'Three was so old this year, if word were to spread that a five year old child commanding the army would be able to beat the elites of the two big gangs of the martial arts world without even being able to fight back, what would the people of the world think? What will the people from the two great sects do? " Murong Fenghuang was like an old cow protecting her son as she questioned him furiously.

"This ?" "Please forgive me, sister-in-law. It's my fault that I didn't consider this point. I was so excited that my third brother had such talent!" Situ Qingyun also suddenly realized this, and spoke to the two brothers and sister-in-law shamefully.

"Qing Yun, from now on, only we know about this. Don't spread the word until that kid, Wu Chi, grows up and has ample wings. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to him!" Situ Qingtian said to his brother sincerely.

"Yes, Brother Tian. Brother knows his wrongs!" Situ Qingyun replied with his head lowered.

"You have to move into the army camp these few days, don't stay at home!" Murong Fenghuang muttered to herself for a moment before instructing Situ Qingyun.

"Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong, why did you chase me away?" Situ Qingyun was puzzled, her sister-in-law was not someone to be trifled with, why did she suddenly kick him out of her house?

"Those two people are not easy to deal with. In the past, if you were to leave the Boxer Mansion, you could use your word!" Murong Fenghuang rolled her eyes at Situ Qingyun, then explained in his stead.

"What do I know? At the very most, not to mention those two gangs, I don't even know if that letter was written to ?" Hm? "Could it be ??" Situ Qingyun said with disdain, but he was not stupid, when he reached the end he immediately asked out of surprise.

"That's right, that letter was given to Old Third by the dean!" Murong Fenghuang nodded and replied.

"Ol 'Three?" How is that possible? " Situ Qingyun asked in disbelief. He only felt that his nephew's [Inherent Skills] had not reached the level of someone who could come into contact with the President of the Council.

"How is that impossible? If he can easily defeat a martial skill master with a normal soldier, what else is impossible? Furthermore, Dean Huangfu is Wu Chi's master in name! " Murong Fenghuang said as she disdainfully rolled her eyes at his little uncle.

"Your sister-in-law is right. I know about it too!" Situ Qingtian nodded, and said indifferently.

"Then doesn't this mean that the dean is exposing Third Bro?" Situ Qingyun was able to fight well, but he was unable to understand how politics worked, so he asked.

"I've also thought about this before. It's probably because the dean wants to give Old Third some experiential learning so that he can quickly grow up!" Situ Qingtian answered. Previously, he hadn't said a word in the living room, but he had spent most of his time thinking about it. This didn't mean that he knew the contents of the letter, but he could guess it from his wife's expression.

"But why would the dean do that?" Situ Qingyun asked curiously like a baby.

"The next successor to the Surveillance Council!" Murong Fenghuang continued to explain for Situ Qingyun.

"Ol 'Three?" Is he one of the candidates that was decided upon? " Situ Qingyun felt that today was already the most unbelievable day. With so many explosive news following after another, he even doubted his own little heart was still beating.

"Un, it's very possible!" Brother Tian, who do you think the other candidate will be? Didn't they say that competition usually chooses two candidates? " Murong Fenghuang first nodded as she replied, then turned to look at her own husband and asked.

"I don't know, this has always been Surveillance Council's absolute secret! I reckon that person will not be any worse than Old Third! " Situ Qingtian shook his head and replied.

"But Third Bro is powerless!" Situ Qingyun was also sweating for his nephew. With his small physique, a gust of wind would probably be able to send him flying into the sky.

"In the history of the Surveillance Council, there have been several principals who were powerless!" Regarding this, Murong Fenghuang could answer his question.

The successor of the President of the Council was not a successor, nor was he assigned to one. Every time he chose an heir, he would have to go through a fierce struggle. In order to ensure the continued strength of the Surveillance Council, all the successors had to be the strongest, and this kind of power wasn't only based on martial prowess, but also on wits.

In the history of the Surveillance Council, there had indeed been a few headmasters who were like weak scholars, but his opponents were not so weak as well. Even so, he was still defeated by such a weak person. One could well imagine how powerful this person's intelligence was.

Surveillance Council's selection process was different every time, but the assessment criteria were the same. The candidates were mainly about their character, mentality, way of handling matters, layout, and other aspects. Usually, between the candidates, there would always be a fight to the death.

This was also the main reason why the expressions of the Situ couple were grave. This matter could only be considered a mixed blessing, but it was enough to be considered a rather troublesome matter. And Murong Fenghuang had thought of even more things, so she could be considered to understand her child. She faintly understood that her son had some abilities and methods. Of course, the dean had promised him that he wouldn't use his son's trump card unless there was a problem with the other candidate.

From the looks of it, not only did the candidate not catch the attention of the dean, but to a certain extent he was not easy to deal with. Otherwise, with the dean's personality, since he had agreed, he would not let his third brother go easily. This is really 'sitting and waiting for nothing to do at home, please come knocking on my door'.

"I still want to bring Little San to settle the score with me. It seems that my plan is going to fail!" Sigh, that's not right. Didn't Third Bro go through the genius doctor's diagnosis and can only live to the age of twenty at most? " Situ Qingyun said with a look of helplessness, then suddenly asked about something.

"Don't ask us, we don't know why either. Those were all our guesses, but the body of Ol 'Three ?" "It was bad to begin with, and now that I've been seriously injured, I don't even know what's going on ? Wuu ?!" Murong Fenghuang started crying as she spoke. Actually, the reason for this cry was mostly to hide it from her own husband and uncle, and a portion of it was because she was really sad that her son suddenly suffered from severe injuries.

"Ah, let nature take its course! "It's a pity that it's so tough on that child Nuo Han!" Situ Qingtian did not understand and secretly sighed. He didn't know what the truth was, at least not yet.

"I'm sorry, Brother Tian, Sister-in-law! Blame me for talking too much! " Situ Qingyun regretted his words and quickly apologized to the two of them.

"Forget it, this is the truth. Let's not bring it up again for fear that it will make us sad!" Situ Qingtian said dejectedly and slowly.

The matter had already come to this, and they had finished chatting. Situ Qingtian supported his wife and slowly walked towards the back of the hall, while Situ Qingyun was also dispirited, and directly left the Boxer Mansion to continue the unfinished business. He had unintentionally brought such a big trouble for his nephew. No matter what, he had to return the favor.

In one of Boxer Mansion's rooms.

After they dismissed the servants, Yan Luo and Shadow closed the door to their room, and cautiously listened for a long time while holding their breath. After confirming that there was no one within thirty meters of them, the two began to mutter softly.

"It looks like the Principal had long anticipated our actions, which was why he asked us to pass the letter to that difficult woman, Murong Fenghuang. It seems like there is no chance that he would know who is behind all of this!" Yan Luo helplessly shook his head and said to the shadow.

"Why don't I personally make a trip tonight to follow Murong Fenghuang? I should be able to reap some rewards!" Shadow suggested.

"Alright, that's what I was thinking too. I wanted to trick her just now, but was interrupted by Murong Fenghuang. I reckon that the woman is already on guard, it might not be easy for her to find Situ Qingyun again!" Yan Luo thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Situ Qingyun, as a person, I have a certain level of understanding towards him. If one were to say that there are people in this world that I do not wish to kill, then they definitely would belong to them. The shadow looked at Yan Luo disdainfully and said. From the way he spoke, it was very clear that he held Situ Qingyun in high esteem and admiration.

"Alright, thank you for the hard work. Be careful, the Boxer Mansion did not give you this for nothing! If a dignified Chief were to be captured alive, it would be a huge joke! " Yan Luo joked.

"Hmph, crow mouth, don't worry about me!" The silhouette didn't like to joke around, so after replying coldly, it fell asleep on the bed.

Situ Qingyun no longer had the same mood as before when he exited the city gate. He looked completely dispirited, as if he couldn't even muster up the slightest bit of interest.

Before Situ Qingyun had even reached the Palace, Commander Ni of the City Guards had already received the news that the Great General Situ was coming to visit.

This was already the second time today, and was originally waiting here, but Situ Qingyun had brought the two director level officials of Surveillance Council back to the residence, while Commander Ni thought that Situ Qingyun would not come back today, so he took off his armor and sword, but before the chair could warm up, another message came over. Situ Qingyun had rushed over, and the manor was once again in a state of chaos, but at least, it was done before the Great General Situ came.

"Great General Situ's visit, what a welcome!" When Commander Ni saw that Situ Qingyun had arrived, he jogged all the way to his side and bowed to him.

"Commander Ni, hurry up and get up. There is no need for you to perform such a great ritual!" Situ Qingyun said to commander Ni with an exceptionally cold tone. He had not broken free from the family's trouble, and was extremely unhappy.

"General, what are you saying? If it wasn't for Great General Situ helping me this time, I'm afraid that I would not have survived!" Commander Ni had thought that this general was blaming him for protecting the Fengyang City, which was why his tone was so serious. He did not dare to get up, and instead spoke humbly after bowing.

"Get up and talk. I came here today because I have something to talk to you about. I don't have the time to listen to your bullshit!" Situ Qingyun was already in a bad mood and did not have the time to be courteous with him.

"Yes, yes, this general will get up now. General, this is not a place to talk, please come in!" Commander Ni might not be able to do battle, but he was extremely tactful when it came to handling situations. Thus, he hurriedly pulled Situ Qingyun along to the inside of the commander palace, and gently advised him as he spoke.

Situ Qingyun also felt that it was unsuitable to talk about things outside, so he decided to follow Commander Ni into the commander's mansion. In any case, if he wanted to complete this task, he really needed the commander's approval.
