Chapter 209: Unauthorized Repayment

Yin Min understands Yu Feipeng.

Naturally, Yu Feipeng is not completely ignorant of Yin Min.

Hearing Yin Min's words, Yu Feipeng immediately knows that the other party has already guessed his intentions.

Furrowing his brows, Yu Feipeng does not wish to discuss this with Yin Min in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

After all, he does not know what words might come out of Yin Min's mouth in a moment, but in any case, it certainly would not be to his advantage.

Thinking this, Yu Feipeng speaks directly to the maid: "Take him away first."

As he says this, his gaze no longer pays any mind to Zhu Gaoxu.

Yet at this moment, Yin Min raises a hand to stop them.

"What? Did I say he could leave?"

Yin Min stares at Yu Feipeng.

The two look at each other across a distance of two or three meters.

At this time, no one holds Zhu Gaoxu in their eyes.

In their view, he is merely a child of four or five years old.

As long as they are slightly careful with their words, no problems will arise.

At this moment, Yu Feipeng is clearly the most nervous, fearing that Yin Min might speak up and ruin his good deed.

Just as Yu Feipeng is about to speak to suppress the matter, a disciple runs over to the entrance.

"Some people have arrived at the entrance, saying they are looking for the young master of the house."

Hearing this, Yu Feipeng can only swallow the words that had reached his lips.

He then instructs the disciple to invite them in.

As he does so, he even turns his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu.

And Yin Min also looks toward Zhu Gaoxu.

He has already decided that if Zhu Gaoxu's family has truly been hoodwinked by Yu Feipeng, then he must speak up to ruin this affair.

Just as he is thinking this, Ada enters with over a dozen Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Of course, these men are not wearing flying-fish robes or holding Xiuchun Dao.

Everyone is dressed in common attire.

This was specifically instructed by Zhu Gaoxu.

According to the script provided by Zhu Gaoxu, these men are all servants from Zhu Gaoxu's household.

After all, they, a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards, would not dare to overreach and pretend to be Zhu Gaoxu's family.

Once inside, Ada ignores everyone else and bows to Zhu Gaoxu: "Young Master has suffered; we have come to take Young Master home."

As soon as the words fall, the remaining Embroidered Uniform Guards also kneel on one knee to bow to Zhu Gaoxu.

This scene gives everyone present a start.

They have seen their fair share of the world here in Huangshan Town.

But their so-called experience, when compared to the imperial family, is like the difference between clouds and mud.

And at this moment, no one dares to slight Zhu Gaoxu anymore.

At the very least, no one dares to treat him as an ordinary four or five-year-old child.

At this moment, Yu Feipeng even has the thought of abandoning his own plan.

After all, looking at this situation, the power behind Zhu Gaoxu is not someone he can afford to provoke.

If he plays it too far and things go wrong, it would be troublesome.

Just as he is thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu speaks up.

Zhu Gaoxu first walks two slow steps and sits on a chair in the main hall.

Only then does he unhurriedly raise a hand and say: "Rise."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Ada and the others rise in perfect unison.

They stand to the side, silent, waiting for Zhu Gaoxu's instructions.

At this moment, the others also dare not speak.

Even Yu Feipeng and Yin Min stare blankly at Zhu Gaoxu.

It is as if they, like Ada and the others, were also subordinates of Zhu Gaoxu.

Seeming to notice his own state, Yu Feipeng gives a dry cough and also sits down.

Seeing Yu Feipeng's appearance, Yin Min realizes the situation himself and also sits down.

However, even so, neither of them speaks first.

Everyone waits for Zhu Gaoxu to continue speaking.

And at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu truly does not keep them waiting.

He indeed has something to say.

"A few days ago, I was extorted by a gang in this Huangshan Town; fortunately, Vice Gang Leader Yu stepped in to help and resolved the siege for me."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Yu Feipeng cannot help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

It seems this kid knows how to handle things.

His scheming was not in vain.

Yin Min, however, furrows his brows, knowing that the situation is somewhat unfavorable for him.

But Yin Min does not speak easily either.

After all, he cannot yet see the depth of Zhu Gaoxu.

If Zhu Gaoxu is merely a silver-tipped spearhead—good to look at but useless—then it will not be of much help to Yu Feipeng.

He was not one to back down either.

Of course, for now, this possibility did not seem high.

At this moment, everyone present had their own thoughts.

Yet Zhu Gaoxu paid no heed to this and continued speaking.

"I have heard that Vice Sect Leader Yu Feipeng has very deep feelings for his master, the current old Hall Master of Red Rainbow Hall. Now that the old Hall Master's old ailment has flared up again, and it just so happens that the divine doctor invited by my family has been following us on this trip, it is the perfect opportunity to ask the divine doctor to take a look at the old Hall Master."

Once Zhu Gaoxu said these words, it could be said that it exceeded everyone's expectations.

Yu Feipeng did not believe that Zhu Gaoxu had failed to notice that he and Yin Min were at odds.

Normally speaking, if one wanted to repay him, shouldn't they at least ask him, the person involved?
