After All, They Are the Protagonists

Transfer the conflict of the Gongsun family from Mu Zhi'an to the man in black.

Bai Yuanfeng gave his daughter a meaningful look, and said, "Ruoxi, tell mother the truth, is Mu Zhian with you..."

Bai Ruoxi glared at her mother in embarrassment, shook her head and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? Young Master Mu didn't do anything to me."

Bai Yuanfeng was startled, and said in doubt: "This is weird... Could it be that he really doesn't have any thoughts about you?"

"He said before that I cannot be traded... because I am a human being."

When Bai Ruoxi said this, she secretly observed her mother's face, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, as if she hoped to hear something from the beautiful woman's mouth.

Bai Yuanfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "Ruoxi, men always like to talk like this. Such words can only deceive three-year-old children. You must not take it seriously."

Bai Ruoxi was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly, but she never spoke.

Regardless of whether what Mu Zhian said was true or not, at least he said it, and he also did it.

From the beginning to the end, they just held hands and did nothing else.

If it were any other man, I'm afraid he couldn't hold back from the first time he was in the carriage.

"Mother, the Bai family is taking a breath now, but after a while, the Gongsun family and the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce may still..."

Bai Ruoxi suddenly said: "Since Tongmai Pill may not be used in these few years or even ten years... we should use it to make a deal?"

When it came to the end, Bai Ruoxi looked up at the beautiful woman, her beautiful eyes contained the last trace of expectation.

However, the next moment, Bai Yuanfeng's answer made Bai Ruoxi's heart sink to the bottom.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Tongmai Pill is useless, but it won't work if you give it to the Mu family. If the Mu family uses Tongmai Pill to become a monk in the Void Return Realm, the Bai family will never be able to return to the Void Realm." It's day."

Bai Yuanfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, glanced at his daughter, and said, "You, you should just marry into the shepherd's family honestly, so that our two families will become in-laws, and there won't be so many troubles."

Bai Ruoxi didn't say anything, and drank tea quietly.

Bai Yuanfeng looked at his daughter suspiciously: "Speaking of which, before mother asked you to marry to the shepherd's house, you always said that you would never marry even if you died... How do you feel recently? You don't seem to be so opposed?"

Bai Ruoxi's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "Even if I object, it's useless, isn't it?"

She didn't know if she had resigned herself to her fate or something... Now she doesn't seem to hate marrying into the shepherd's family as much as she did at first.

"Speaking of which, why do you think the Gongsun family and the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce temporarily stopped attacking the Bai family?" Bai Yuanfeng suddenly remembered this matter.

She had only heard from her daughter that the Bai family would not be in any danger for the time being, but she didn't know the ins and outs of the matter.

Bai Ruoxi said: "This matter has something to do with Gongsun Zan's ransacking of his home yesterday..."

Bai Yuanfeng thought for a while, and said, "So, I heard from someone that Gongsun Zan took people to ransack the house yesterday, but was killed by Mu Zhi'an instead?"

"Speaking of which, could it be that the reason why the Gongsun family and the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce temporarily postponed dealing with the Bai family is because they failed to target the Mu family? But they probably don't have the guts to do so..." Bai Yuanfeng stared at his daughter suspiciously.

Bai Ruoxi explained: "It's because the Gongsun family, the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce, and even the Mu family have another enemy to deal with."

"Gongsun Zan was actually killed by a mysterious man in black."

Bai Yuanfeng obviously didn't believe it, he was skeptical, and said: "You mean that this incident is actually reversed, that the person was not killed by Mu Zhi'an, but by someone else?"

Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly.

Bai Yuanfeng shook his head and said, "Impossible, even if the people of Profound Sky City would believe such words, the people of Gongsun's family would not believe them either."

As soon as the words were finished, a maid who announced the news came in and said, "Ma'am, miss!"

"Why are you in such a panic?" Bai Yuanfeng glared at the maid.

Then, remembering that there are not many maids left in the Bai family, his tone slowed down a little, and he said, "Did something happen? Why are you so panicked?"

The maid said, "It's about Gongsun Zan..."

Bai Yuanfeng put down the teacup, and said flatly, "I already know what happened yesterday, so I don't need to repeat it."

"It's not what happened yesterday...it's what happened this morning." The maid said, "I heard that the incident has now been reversed."

Bai Yuanfeng immediately asked: "What reversal?"

Is it true that what my daughter said, this incident was not caused by Mu Zhian...

But regardless of whether it was Mu Zhi'an's actions or not, Gongsun Xiong should take the opportunity to make trouble, and ask for some benefits...

"Gongsun Zan was not killed by Young Master Mu. Young Master Mu was just fighting for injustice. It was a mysterious black-robed monk who really killed Gongsun Zan."

"Is the news accurate?" Bai Yuanfeng asked suspiciously.

The maid nodded and said: "People from the Gongsun family have come out today to prove the accuracy of this news. In addition, the eldest lady who was in the Chen family's mansion at that time, and even the servants in the mansion, as well as the servants of the Gongsun family have said , there was indeed a man in black at that time."

Bai Yuanfeng was dumbfounded.

There really are people in black robes...

But even so, why did the Gongsun family help the Mu family to confirm this news?

Bai Yuanfeng came back to his senses, waved his hand to signal the maid to leave, and immediately took a sip of tea absent-mindedly.

Not long after, Bai Yuanfeng got up and left the side hall, dressed herself up in the room beautifully, took another bite of rouge, and hurriedly left the Bai family with her buttocks twisted.

……

At the same time, the news that the mysterious black-robed monk had killed Gongsun Zan spread throughout Profound Sky City almost early in the morning.

On this day, discussions about the identity of the man in black were everywhere in the inn and teahouse.

People began to praise Mu Zhi'an's fight against injustice, and at the same time belittle Gongsun Zan's behavior of abusing women.

Then, they began to discuss the identity of the man in black robe and what the other party looked like under the black robe.

Just like Mu Zhian's guess, no one cared how Gongsun Zan died.

And in the early morning of this day, when people were still discussing the matter of the man in black, a man in black robe walked down slowly in front of the stairs on the second floor of a certain inn.

Most of his face was hidden under the black hood, and he listened to the noisy discussions of the people as he walked down the stairs.

"That's why I said a long time ago that although Young Master Mu is also a wicked young man, at least he won't do such things as insulting women."

"I also said yesterday that Young Master Mu stopped Gongsun Zan only if he couldn't see it."

"Master Mu's past behavior may be questionable, but he is still a good person."

"Tsk tsk, this is the Mu family. If it was another family, I'm afraid they would have been arrested by the Gongsun family for investigation and revenge." Someone also said with emotion.

"However, this Young Master Mu often goes to Jiaofangsi and Goulan, so it's actually not a good thing." Some people still didn't like Mu Zhi'an, and when they saw many people praised him, they immediately retorted.

Not far away, a big man who had been drinking early in the morning laughed heartily and said, "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Young Master Mu is a chivalrous man. What's the matter with going to the Jiaofang Division? I have to come to you alluringly and charmingly, I'm afraid you can't wait to stuff them all in."

All the men drinking tea burst out laughing when they heard this.For a while, the inn was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Listening to the conversation of these people, the man in black sneered secretly.

Although he was pressed for time, it was useless to worry now, he could only wait for Mu Zhian for another two or three days.

But luckily it won't be boring.

At least in the past two days, it is quite interesting to watch the dogs of Gongsun's family and the Mu family's family bite dogs.

At this time, he suddenly heard someone say again: "But having said that, who exactly is the identity of that black-robed man you say? He dared to attack Gongsun Zan."

"Dare to attack the Gongsun family, either they came prepared, or came from the outer city, so they don't understand the horror of the Gongsun family."

"I really want to know what that black-robed man looks like—"

Just as the voice fell, the discussion of the crowd quietly disappeared, and countless eyes were fixed on the man in black who came down from the stairs.

Then, people started whispering.

"Look at his outfit..."

"Wearing a black robe...he has a cold demeanor, could it be that he is the man in black robe that the Gongsun family offered a reward..."

This morning, Gongsun's family issued an arrest warrant. Anyone who catches the black robe will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.

In their eyes, the man in black robe who came down from the stairs was like walking gold.

The man in black frowned slightly, feeling people's unkind eyes, and then thinking of their whispering just now.

When he was in a daze for a short time, he reacted almost instantly, cursed secretly in his heart, threw down the broken silver, and left the inn quickly without saying a word.

Behind him, there were monks who were ready to move and followed closely, but as soon as they reached the door of the inn, there was no trace of the man in black.

Since this day, Profound Sky City has not seen a single person wearing a black robe.

Chapter 19 Master Gongsun is really a genius who pretends to be confused 3K

At this moment, the man in black was standing on the roof of a certain mansion, looking down at the crowds passing by on the street, and felt an unknown fire quietly rising from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, he planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and watch the dogs of the shepherd family and Gongsun's family bite the dogs, but he didn't want to change himself, and instead became the murderer who killed Gongsun Zan.

However, the Gongsun family also helped the Mu family to confirm this matter, which is the most irritating thing.

Obviously Mu Zhi'an killed the third son of the Gongsun family.

Why is the Gongsun family willing to help regardless of past suspicions...

The eyes of the man in black flickered slightly, thinking secretly.

When two enemies suddenly become allies, there is only one possibility.

They have a common enemy.

So the question is, who is this common enemy?

The answer is self-evident.

The black-robed man said with a dark face, "That stinky brat actually made a fool of me."

This is not very good, if the Gongsun family and the Mu family join forces, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble on my side...

At this time, the corner of the black robed man's eyes suddenly landed in front of the back door of a certain courtyard.

A plump and beautiful woman quietly left through the back door of the yard. Behind her, a man supported her buttocks. The two of them looked like glue, as if they were whispering something.

Bai Yuanfeng...

The man in black looked at this scene, and after a brief hesitation, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

……

"Hey, why is this eldest lady still thinking about whether to run away from home?"
