Chapter 4168 Coming to the Door
“Oh? Tell me.” Feng Jiu said, looking at Du Fan.
“I thought that the people from the Mercenary Guild would know something about what’s going on in the Verdant Enchanted Forest because they go in and out of it, so I went to ask the Guild Master of the Mercenary Guild, but apart from some news that had spread outside, he didn’t know much. He said that the w.a.n.g Family, one of the eight great families in the city, would know something, so I thought, should I go to the w.a.n.g Family and ask them?”
“The w.a.n.g Family?” Feng Jiu raised an eyebrow and thought of w.a.n.g Yu.
Du Fan nodded and said, “Yes, the w.a.n.g Family is one of the eight great families in the city. The Old Predecessor of the w.a.n.g Family once led a group of people into the depths of the Verdant Enchanted Forest. According to the Guild Master of the guild, the Old Predecessor of the w.a.n.g Family once saw the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox.”
On hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled: “I actually met a member of the w.a.n.g Family outside today. Let’s put this aside for now, and I’ll wait until I meet w.a.n.g Yu again.”
“Yes,” Du Fan replied, and when he saw the waiter bring the food and wine, he didn’t say anything more.
“Let’s eat first! There’s no rush to enter the Verdant Enchanted Forest. Let’s first rest here and get the information and things we need ready.” Feng Jiu said, picking up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and eating it.
On the other side, w.a.n.g Yu was stopped by the Steward before he could go to the pharmacy when he returned to the house.
“Young Master, the Patriarch is looking for you.”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Yu covered his eyes and said, “Can’t you see that I’m in a mess and have a wound on my face? Can I go see my father like this?” As he said this, he walked inside and said, “I’ll go get medicine and change clothes first.”
“But the Patriarch said that you should see him as soon as you get back,” the Steward said, catching up with him, and added, “The Patriarch is very angry. Young Master, you’d better go now!”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Yu stopped and asked, “What’s he angry about? I haven’t offended him in the past two days!”
The housekeeper saw this and sighed helplessly. He stepped forward and whispered, “The Patriarch of the Zeng Family is here with the third son, and they are waiting in the hall, saying they want to talk to us.”
“Hmph! This Zeng San couldn’t beat me, so he called his father to come to our house to demand an explanation? Fine, I’ll go talk to them.” He snorted and walked towards the hall.
At this time, in the hall, the Patriarch of the Zeng Family looked at the Patriarch of the w.a.n.g Family with a dark expression on his face and said, “This is too much! Look at what your son has done to my son! If I don’t get an explanation today, I won’t let this go!”
The Patriarch of the w.a.n.g Family took a sip of tea and said, “Don’t be angry, Brother Zeng. In fact, these things between children should be resolved by the children themselves. It’s normal for young people to get into fights and beat each other up, right? Besides, I don’t know what happened in this case. My son hasn’t come back yet. I can’t just accept whatever you say, can I?”
“What do you mean by that? Are you saying that we are at fault? That my son deserved to be beaten? That he deserved to be beaten like this?” Patriarch Zeng slammed his hand down on the table, making a loud thud, and stood up angrily, glaring at the Patriarch of the w.a.n.g Family.
“What’s going on? Why are you slapping the table at my w.a.n.g Family? Huh? Isn’t this Uncle Zeng? I haven’t seen you in a long time, you look a lot older!” w.a.n.g Yu, who was in a mess, walked in, no longer looking carefree.
The Patriarch w.a.n.g glanced at him, frowned slightly, and said, “Yu’er, what happened to you?”
