That happened many years ago, probably when Yuan Fengrong was young and was about to take over Xuanmen.
His master said that in fact, the successor that the previous leader of Xuanmen valued was not Yuan Fengrong, but another candidate who was more talented than Yuan Fengrong and had a more generous and tenacious character.
Not only the previous leader of Xuanmen, but almost everyone at that time thought that another person would take over Xuanmen, so they tried to flatter him and wanted to establish friendship with him.
However, in the later years of the former leader of Xuanmen, that person died in an accident while on a mission.
The former leader was heartbroken over the loss of his disciple, and his health deteriorated further and further, and he died of a serious illness not long after.
During that period, outsiders rarely heard any news about Xuanmen, and the people within Xuanmen were also quite low-key.
When Xuanmen appeared in the public eye again, it was Yuan Fengrong who took over the position of the sect leader. He recruited many disciples, made friends everywhere, and quickly suppressed the voices of opposition in a very short time, thus securing the position of the sect leader.
When Bo Yuting heard about this past event, he felt quite strange.
But when he asked Miao Rensui further, Miao Rensui was unwilling to say anything more. He just told him to be careful and not to get close to the other groups in the future.
Now it seems that this Sect Master Yuan...
Bo Yuting turned his head and looked at the entrance across the street, as if thinking about something, and curled the corners of his mouth.
…
at the same time.
Yuan Fengrong took Lin Wu directly to his office and asked his assistant to prepare some fruit tea and snacks.
"No need to go to such trouble. I don't want to eat. Besides, there are a lot of things to do today, and I'm afraid I can't finish talking about them all." Lin Wu refused.
Yuan Fengrong said with a smile: "Whether to eat or not is one thing, but keeping it is another. If I don't bring it to you, your Aunt Mei will scold me. Those snacks were made by your Aunt Mei herself, but it's a pity that you are too busy and rarely come to visit Uncle Yuan, so I don't have the chance to give them to you. I want to send them to you, but I don't know where you are."
Yuan Fengrong's wife's surname was Mei.
After hearing this, Lin Wu didn't say anything.
Yuan Fengrong asked his assistant to get ready and said, "I think it's almost time. Wen Wei should be here soon. You just need to wait for a while. But you don't usually interact with Wen Wei. Why did you suddenly look for him? Could it be related to that kid Man'er?"
Lin Wu looked at Yuan Fengrong and said, "Master Yuan will know what I want to talk to Deputy Master Cheng about later. Before we eat, I have something to ask Master Yuan."
"you say."
"How do you know that I was the one who saved Cheng Man abroad?"
“…”
"When I called you, Sect Master Yuan, I only said that Cheng Man and I had met abroad. You didn't say anything at the time, which means you didn't know that I had saved him at that time, right? Now you know, so you heard it from Deputy Sect Master Cheng when you contacted him?"
Lin Wu leaned back slightly, leaning against the back of the sofa, and said slowly: "In other words, Sect Master Yuan, did you mention me to Deputy Sect Master Cheng?"
Yuan Fengrong said, "Weren't there still Xuanmen masters abroad at that time? Uncle Yuan felt that there seemed to be a misunderstanding between you and your uncle Cheng, so he thought of asking the disciples who were abroad at that time."
"I have no doubt about this. Sect Master Yuan must have really asked." Lin Wu said.
Yuan Fengrong groaned, and was about to speak when he heard Lin Wu say, "But it was precisely because he asked and found that the surviving disciples refused to say anything, that Sect Master Yuan was even more puzzled, so he really went to ask Deputy Sect Master Cheng, right?"
Yuan Fengrong's face stiffened slightly.
Yuan Fengrong was slightly startled, staring at Lin Wu, and said after a while; "You are really as direct as I am, not bothering to be tactful at all. Okay, Uncle Yuan will be honest with you. Uncle Yuan did ask Wei afterwards, and only then did he know that it was you who actually saved Man'er abroad."
"what else?"
"That's all. I also wanted to find out what happened between Wen Wei and Man'er, but Wen Wei refused to tell me."
Yuan Fengrong sighed, seeming somewhat helpless: "Maybe this is a secret between them. After all, Uncle Yuan is still an outsider, so it's not easy to ask further."
When Lin Wu heard this, a hint of ambiguity flashed across his eyes, and he asked, "Will Deputy Sect Master Cheng come?"
"Of course!" Yuan Fengrong said seriously, "Uncle Yuan is still looking forward to you joining Xuanmen and adding glory to Xuanmen. How can I not do it? This is also the first time you have taken the initiative to ask Uncle Yuan for something, so Uncle Yuan must not let you down."
Speak of the devil and he shall appear. As soon as Yuan Fengrong finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door.
The two turned around and saw an assistant coming in with a tray, followed by a middle-aged man with a straight posture and a serious face. It was Cheng Man's father, Cheng Wenwei.
"Master, the deputy master is here." said the assistant, and went over to put down a few plates of snacks and fruit tea, then retreated respectfully and closed the door.
Only Lin Wu, Yuan Fengrong and Cheng Wenwei were left in the office.
"You're just in time. Come and sit down."
Yuan Fengrong kindly moved to the side and patted the seat next to him.
Cheng Wenwei glanced at Lin Wu who was looking at him leisurely, and did not sit down next to Yuan Fengrong, but sat on the single sofa next to him.
"It is indeed Miss Daosheng who wants to see me." Cheng Wenwei said directly, "If Miss Daosheng wants to ask about my son's whereabouts, then please go back. My son was injured abroad, and Miss Daosheng also knows about it. I am afraid that he will not be able to work with Miss Daosheng in the short term."
Lin Wu sat up straighter. "I haven't even opened my mouth yet. How does Deputy Sect Master Cheng know that I'm looking for Cheng Man? It seems that even Sect Master Yuan doesn't know."
Cheng Wenwei looked at Yuan Fengrong.
Yuan Fengrong immediately raised his hand and explained, "I really don't know about this. Daosheng didn't tell me about this. He just said he wanted to talk to you about something."
Cheng Wenwei retracted his gaze and said, "Do I need someone to tell me this? I can guess it. Miss Daosheng has been with Maner for a long time abroad. I'm afraid she is curious about some of his affairs. Besides, those who came to see me these days, especially the kid Shixing, are all for my son. Even Miss Daosheng is the same. What's so surprising?"
Lin Wu did not deny it, but said: "I did it for Cheng Man. After all, I still have a lot of things to do and need Cheng Man's help, but I can't contact him. Even as a friend, I think I should find out what happened to him. But from what Deputy Sect Master Cheng said now, do you already know what happened to Cheng Man abroad?"
After a pause, she said under the other party's sharp gaze, "Now I am more curious. Deputy Sect Master Cheng thinks that Cheng Man has something that I would be interested in?"
"Yes, yes, what happened?" Yuan Fengrong asked.
Cheng Wenwei frowned and said, "Nothing. From what Miss Daosheng said, I misunderstood? I'm so sorry. Miss Daosheng, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
"You didn't say anything...?"
"Yes. I was overthinking it, please don't blame me, Miss Daosheng. By the way, I would also like to thank Miss Daosheng for saving my son." Cheng Wenwei said.
Lin Wu looked at him, and suddenly smiled, saying, "It's a pity that I can't pretend I know nothing. Because, Deputy Sect Master Cheng didn't think too much about it, and what he thought was true."
Cheng Wenwei was stunned.
Lin Wu said: "If you want to thank someone, then thank them now. For example, answer a few questions for me. First, an interesting one - dried blood vine."
