Unlike the rough voices of the two brothers, this voice was clear and pleasant, even though the words that came out were curses, they sounded extremely pleasant to the ear.

Zheng Ming and Zheng Heng raised their heads at the same time, and saw Fu Yuxing, dressed in a white robe, standing at the door like a swaying lotus, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes!

Seeing Fu Yuxing, Zheng Heng was completely stunned, feeling a bit at a loss for a moment.

Fu Yuxing glanced at Zheng Heng indifferently, then her gaze fell on Zheng Ming, and she frowned slightly, saying, "This sentence has no meaning at all, why are you laughing so much?"

Although Zheng Ming was still indignant after his scolding, seeing Fu Yuxing's appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle, "If you want to understand this sentence, stand in front of everyone and shout it out loud. Then you will understand its true meaning!"

Zheng Heng started to sweat at this point, and a scene appeared in his mind: this beautiful, dignified, and elegant woman suddenly blurting out such a sentence while everyone was looking at her with admiration.

He felt for the first time that his younger brother was really asking for a beating!

Although Fu Yuxing was not very worldly, she was not stupid and understood that Zheng Ming was teasing her.

Without paying any more attention to Zheng Ming, she floated away like a fairy.

Seeing his brother's somewhat dazed and lost gaze, Zheng Ming couldn't help but boast, "Brother, I forgot to introduce her, this is my wife!"

"This is the wife you picked up from the street? Why do I feel... feel that you don't deserve her?" Zheng Heng stammered to this point, noticing Zheng Ming's changing expression, he quickly explained, "I mean, her age is a bit too old for you!"

Who says honest people lack wit? Zheng Ming, seeing his brother's fearful expression, knew exactly what he was thinking!

He then huffed, "Don't even think about me speaking well of you to Sister Xiaoyue!"

Zheng Heng knew that Zheng Ming was just talking, so he smiled and scratched his head, saying nothing more.

"Has Father agreed to the exchange?" In the end, Zheng Ming still brought up the topic of the Blood Pond.

The relaxed atmosphere in the hall instantly vanished.

"Of course not, and... and Father even slammed the table with the Third Elder who came to discuss this matter!" Zheng Heng clenched his fists tightly, saying, "In the end, the matter was escalated to the Clan Head!"

"Under the joint pressure of the First Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder, hah, they even said... said that for the future of the clan, to add another core disciple to the clan, Father should prioritize the greater good and consider the clan!"

"To hell with considering the clan!" Zheng Heng said with great restraint, "These bastards, under the banner of considering the clan, all look so righteous and upright. When they ambushed Tiger Roar Village, why didn't any of them sneak into the camp!"

"Now that the ambush has succeeded, they are starting to covet the rewards Father risked his life for. They... they..."

Zheng Heng had entered the clan hall with Zheng Gongxuan at the time. Thinking about the situation then, he trembled all over.

In the entire clan, only the Second Elder stood up to speak the truth, while the others all sided with the First Elder, after all, the First Elder's power in the clan was not something their branch could compare to.

Zheng Ming could imagine the situation Zheng Gongxuan faced at the time. At this moment, his heart, which had just calmed down, boiled again. This anger was clearly contagious, intensifying Zheng Heng's embarrassment and turning it into Zheng Ming's deep-seated anger!

Biting his lips tightly, he didn't curse again, but he was determined to make those people pay with his actions!

"In the end, because of Father's insistence, the Clan Head, using his authority, made a decision. He said that if you, little brother, can withstand three moves from the First Elder's grandson, you can enter the Blood Pond!"

"Otherwise, for the sake of the clan, Father should give the spot to the First Elder's grandson, saying... saying that the clan cannot watch limited resources be wasted!"

What a hypocritical excuse! Why didn't they say this when they asked people to risk their lives!

Why didn't they speak up when facing Shen Keli? That man's ten deadly moves didn't hit them, and now they are talking about the clan again!

Bullshit!

"How is the First Elder's grandson's cultivation?" Zheng Ming's lips tightened even more.

Zheng Heng was taken aback. Although they had been brothers for over a decade, he still wasn't quite used to his younger brother's way of speaking.

But after experiencing his brother's way of speaking many times, he found it really refreshing.

"The First Elder's grandson is called Zheng Jintang, about your age, his cultivation is roughly at the 12th rank. Damn, this guy is very favored by his grandfather, but this time, their branch has a much stronger older brother."

"Although the First Elder favors him, he won't give him the spot, after all, his older brother, Zheng Jinbin, has already reached the 11th rank."

12th rank, Zheng Ming clenched his fists lightly. In the past, he wouldn't have been confident in withstanding three moves from a 12th rank martial artist.

But now, he felt he had a chance.

After all, he had successfully activated the card in his heart!

He would see if the deck he carried with him could be of any help!

"Little brother, you don't need to worry too much. Father said that if you feel you don't have confidence, we can just admit defeat." Zheng Heng, seeing Zheng Ming's silence, comforted him softly.

"Hah, there will be a day when we settle this score!"

Seeing the grim look on his brother's face, Zheng Ming felt even more the importance of this family. Just as he was about to speak, someone ran over and said, "Second Young Master, someone is looking for you."

Zheng Ming was taken aback, wondering who in Luming Town would be looking for him. Could it be one of his childhood friends?

But seeing the servant's half-smiling, half-serious expression, Zheng Ming felt a bit uneasy.

It seemed this matter was not simple!

In just a moment, the servant brought the person looking for Zheng Ming into the hall. If Fu Yuxing represented nobility and elegance, making people dare not look directly, then this woman was a small flower that evoked pity.

A small flower blooming quietly in a deserted place.

Her full name should be Li Xiaoduo, the woman that Zheng Ming's father had intended to bully and forcibly take, and the woman Zheng Ming had casually saved in the market today, earning him 2,000 reputation points.

"You... why are you here?" Zheng Ming, looking at Li Xiaoduo standing meekly in the hall, didn't know what to say. Her appearance caught him off guard.

"My mother said that since Second Young Master likes Xiaoduo, she should come to serve Second Young Master." As she spoke, Li Xiaoduo bowed respectfully to Zheng Ming.

Come to serve him? Zheng Ming understood what "serve" meant.

Compared to Zheng Ming, his brother Zheng Heng understood a bit more, but that was enough. He glanced up and down at Zheng Ming, then said with a smile, "Little brother, you really have grown up!"

Grow up your head!

Zheng Ming's brotherly affection was instantly dispelled by these words. He couldn't help but say, "Big brother, although you are my big brother, you need to remember two things: first, don't call me little brother; second, I was really just immersed in the story I was telling!"

As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoduo's tears started to fall, and the gentle woman knelt on the ground, saying, "When Mother sent Xiaoduo here, Xiaoduo knew she didn't deserve Second Young Master."

"But in my heart, I am very willing to be by Second Young Master's side, really... really just to be by Second Young Master's... side!"

Seeing the tearful woman, Zheng Ming's heart ached.

Having lived two lives, his mental age was much more mature than his actual age. How could he not see the genuine affection in her words?

If he refused outright, this woman might have no future!

"Little brother, you should make the decision boldly. As for Mother, I will talk to her." Zheng Heng, speaking, quickly slipped out of the door.

Zheng Ming scratched his head, thinking that even if Zheng Heng spoke, it would still sound a bit awkward, after all, he had just brought home a wife yesterday, and now another maid was offering herself today.

But Zheng Ming was not indecisive. Looking at the pitiful and adorable figure kneeling helplessly, he hesitated for a moment, then helped Li Xiaoduo up, saying, "Come with me!"

Zheng Ming led Li Xiaoduo to the small courtyard where Fu Yuxing was staying. As he entered the courtyard, he saw his father, looking anxious, coming out of the courtyard.

Seeing Zheng Ming approach, Zheng Gongxuan pointed at him, wanting to speak but unable to, and finally all his words turned into, "You... you..." before quickly leaving.

From Zheng Gongxuan's appearance, it seemed that Fu Yuxing's background was not ordinary, otherwise, Zheng Gongxuan wouldn't have looked like that.

Shaking his head, Zheng Ming led Li Xiaoduo into Fu Yuxing's courtyard. He saw Fu Yuxing standing in the courtyard, looking at a tree of bright red plum blossoms.

The flowers were beautiful, but the person was even more beautiful!

"Damn!" At this moment, a not very loud but clear and pleasant voice rang out in the courtyard.

This voice shattered the picturesque scene instantly! Even Li Xiaoduo, who was following behind Zheng Ming, covered her mouth in surprise, unable to believe what she had heard.

Zheng Ming also slapped his head, realizing that his words had already pulled this noble and elegant woman into the mud!
