Disciple, Don't Cause Trouble, Master Won't Leave the Mountain!

Qin Mingzhu felt her heart sink. She had defended him in front of He Cangming, but now, her words had turned into a slap on her face.

She closed her eyes weakly and allowed tears to fall from the corners of her eyes. She was like a joke, played by He Zhao, yet she still thought that she was connected to him in her heart.

The thin letter in her hand also dropped to the ground. On the paper was shockingly He Zhao’s past experience.

He Zhao, formerly known as Yu Zhao, was a disciple of the Yu family’s collateral family. Due to his outstanding talent, he was specially selected to be in the Yu family head’s family. From the age of a hundred, he had always been by the Yu family head’s side and was highly valued.

However, the Yu family head suddenly had a daughter, named Yu Sisi. He treated her like a treasure and was designated as the Yu family’s young master at his first anniversary ceremony. From then on, He Zhao became Yu Sisi’s personal attendant.

A few months ago, when the He family attacked the Yu family’s main residence, the door was opened from the inside. The person who opened the door was He Zhao. After that, other than Yu Sisi, the He family lost their life at the hands of He Zhao.

After that, there were a lot of He Zhao’s actions after he joined the He family. Just as He Cangming had said, He Zhao was just an unsatisfied ingrate!

All the complains of being abuse, bullying, and been in difficult situation the He family was in were all fake!

Qin Mingzhu couldn’t control herself. She fell to the ground, prostrating herself and crying, her tears kept flowing. After a long time, she finally managed to control her emotions.

Qin Mingzhu wiped her tears and raised her head. Now, she couldn’t be tripped by these love affairs. She had to put the interests of her family first.

In other words, she had always placed the interests of Qin Island first. Even if she was fallen for He Zhao, she didn’t waver. It just so happened that she had the best of both worlds previously.

“Now, you wanted to usurp the he family. No matter what the outcome was, it would cause a great upheaval in the He family. Since that was the case, He Zhao, don’t blame me. You were the one who deceived me first.” Qin Mingzhu thought to herself, she didn’t care anymore.

The He family’s Flowing Cloud Pavilion was a three-story pavilion, but it was large enough to accommodate thousands of people. In addition to the flower and wood courtyard outside, the pavilion on a beautiful lake were comparable to the imperial palaces of ancient times.

At this moment, the Cloud Flowing Pavilion was decorated with lanterns and other decorations. Almost all the servants of the He family had busy in this place, methodically serving delicious food and wine in this sudden banquet.

The properly dressed disciples of the He family gathered in groups of three to five, all discussing this banquet.

“Why would the family head suddenly want to hold a banquet? Didn’t young master just…that?”

The disciple didn’t dare to directly say the death of He Junjie, speaking in a reserved manner.

“Yeah, I’m also very curious. Young master’s funeral has just passed, yet such a grand banquet is being held. I even suspect that the family head has been possessed.”

He Junjie’s funeral was held for seven days. There was no corpse and only a cenotaph was erected in the family cemetery. Even so, this funeral was still very grand.

“Could it be that they are going to announce the matter between He Zhao and that Qin family’s young miss? Although young master is gone, they have no intention of canceling the marriage with Qin Island.”

“It’s possible. The servant beside me saw a steward go to the city to buy red silk yesterday.”

“What?! Are they really going to get married? In that case, He Zhao…”

“Hey, He Zhao, long time no see. Have you recovered?”

A disciple suddenly walked past them and welcomed He Zhao, who appeared out of nowhere, interrupting their discussion. Following that, more and more people gathered around him and started to show concern for He Zhao.

He Zhao nodded and smiled, “I’m much better now. Thank you for your concern.”

“Congratulations. Once the bitterness is gone, the sweetness will come.”

A disciple did not hold back and cupped his fists to congratulate He Zhao. He Zhao did not refute and accepted it gladly.

When the surrounding people saw He Zhao’s attitude, they felt that there was hope. They looked at each other and started to compliment him.

For a moment, with He Zhao as the center, it was bustling with noise and joy. Whether it was those who were on good terms with He Zhao or those who did not have any interactions at all, they all hoped that they could do well in He Zhao’s place.

There were only twenty to thirty people in a few places who looked at He Zhao with hateful expressions. They were He Junjie’s lackeys and had bullied He Zhao many times in the past. Now that they were asked to compliment He Zhao, it was simply disgusting to them.

He Zhao was surrounded by people. He enjoyed these faces that used to be either mocking or cold to him. Now, they were all looking at him with smiles. His vanity was greatly satisfied. Finally, the moment that belonged to him had arrived!

Qin Mingzhu arrived late. The haggard look on her face was covered by makeup. She was still a bright and moving beauty. She looked at He Zhao with a complicated expression. At this moment, there was not a trace of the melancholy and elegance that she was familiar with on his face.

“This is who he really is” Qin Mingzhu thought, “But everything will end tonight. I forgive you, He Zhao, as long as you die.”

That refined and handsome face could not hide his ambitious soul. He Zhao was so overwhelmed with joy that he did not notice Qin Mingzhu at a side.

The noisy monkey show did not stop until He Cangming appeared. He Cangming was now using the body of an elder. He was an old man in his fifties with a mean face.

This body was surprisingly compatible with He Cangming’s primordial spirit. It was laughable, but He Zhao felt that it was the most suitable combination. He had always thought that He Cangming should have such a mean face.

He Cangming stood on the platform on the second floor of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion, followed by a few elders and a dull-looking inner sect disciple.

“Why is He Gu up there?”

Some people who recognized the identity of the inner sect disciple discussed in low voices.

“Today’s banquet is to announce two major events that concern the future of our He family. I hope everyone will listen carefully.”

He Cangming wore a luxurious black robe and smiled as he looked at the people in the courtyard. When he said the words “Listen carefully”, he looked directly at He Zhao.

He Zhao also looked back without flinching. He was full of ambition. As long as Qin Mingzhu insisted on choosing him as her husband, he would definitely be the young master of the He family, the future head of the He family.

He Cangming was not angry at He Zhao’s provocative gaze. Instead, he smiled even more. This made He Zhao feel a trace of unease in his heart, but he still steadied himself.

“Everyone knows that our He family wants to have a marriage alliance with Qin Island, and the candidate for the marriage alliance naturally has to be the direct line of descent of our two families. Therefore, Qin Island sent the eldest daughter of the Qin family here, and our He family shouldn’t be disrespectful.”

Everyone patiently listened to his nonsense.

“The only person who can have a marriage alliance with Miss Qin is the young master of our He family. It’s a pity that Junjie was ambushed and died in an accident. Therefore, we have chosen a new young master. This person is the one that our he family and Miss Qin agree on –”

When He Cangming said this, he deliberately stretched his voice to tease people. He Zhao was somewhat displeased and frowned. But he immediately put on a smile to prevent others from thinking that he was not satisfied with the marriage when they looked over later.

He Cangming looked at He Zhao’s small actions and his smile became even wider and thought, “Let me see how you’ll laugh later”

“He Gu, the inner sect disciple of the He family!”
