The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 192. Miss We're Crazy
After the incident that almost made Zhang Qiaofeng die, everything returned to how it was. The daily work of the Zhang family was done as usual without any significant problems.
The officers who were ordered to select each new member did their job well. The people in charge of building the Zhang family residence near the waterfall also did the work as much as possible.
As for Zhang Qiaofeng? He went back to his habit of confining himself in the room. The difference, this time he also occasionally went out of the house to just breathe fresh air.
Until a few weeks later, the main headquarters located near the waterfall was already finished in the wake and Zhang Hongli ordered everyone to move there. While the old residence is used as a place of acceptance and selection of new people.
When asked by Minghao why not move to the North, which is where the Zhang family used to be. Zhang Hongli calmly replied.
"I didn't decide that. It's the grandson who deserves it, because remember, he's the leader right now."
So from that day on, the Zhang family was near a waterfall with a residence that was much more luxurious and spacious than the previous place. Even so, Zhang Qiaofeng still had not recovered from his grief.
...****************...
"Elder, there's a letter from the Hu family."
"Hm..arrive!"
Zhang Hongli read the letter carefully. It turned out that the letter was sent by the first elder of the Hu family who requested that Miss Zhang allow them to join the Hu family.
"Family merging?"
Zhang Hongli continued reading. It says there...
Miss, if you agree, we will directly appeal to the emperor for the endorsement of the merger of the two families.
Zhang Hongli sighed heavily and told the bodyguard to leave, then he got up and went to his granddaughter's residence. However, to determine whether to agree or not this was the authority of Zhang Qiaofeng.
"Feng'er have you woken up this early?" zhang Hongli asked Zhang Qiaofeng who was sitting with a blank look under the peach tree.
It was still too early. Actually when Zhang Qiaofeng was still as healthy as before, he even woke up even earlier. But ever since the girl suffered an inner blow, she always woke up at noon even almost noon.
The girl turned her head for a moment before returning to focus on her delusion.
Zhang Hongli sat down beside him and asked in a joyous tone to mince words, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet."
"Mandi?"
"Not yet."
"What if we practice? We haven't fought boxing in a long time."
"No, lazy..."
The girl always answered briefly without even allowing her eyes. This made Zhang Hongli display a bitter and moody expression.
"Feng'er, look at this. I'm sorry for bothering you but this is important. You have to decide." Zhang Hongli handed over the letter sent by the first elder of the Hu family.
"What's it say?"
"You read it first."
"Say it briefly and clearly. Grandpa read it, right? The seal was already open." Zhang Qiaofeng replied without any expression and tone of speech.
Zhang Hongli sighed and told him everything. In essence, given Hu Tao and Lin Tian's brotherhood, they wanted to ask the Zhang family for help. They wanted to join the Zhang family.
"What do you think, Feng'er?"
"Lin Tian and Hu Tao are dead, we have nothing to do with them."
"But they just fell and have not recovered. Your words are correct, but if there were Lin Tian and Hu Tao here, would you still have the heart to say that? Remember, Lin Tian and Hu Tao were still looking from the nature there."
For a moment, Zhang Qiaofeng was shocked to hear that expression. His breathing was a little heavy as people were about to cry, yet he held back and replied.
"I'm just saying that, doesn't mean I refuse. Just accept it."
Hearing this, Zhang Hongli smiled gently. Instead of leaving quickly, he instead returned to ask his granddaughter a question.
"Hm?" Zhang Qiaofeng glanced over for a moment.
"Why don't we go back to the North, isn't there our homeland? Why did you choose to build a house here?"
"Why is the new grandfather asking that now?" zhang Qiaofeng's reply was extremely piercing.
"Uhuk.I don't remember that at all."
Zhang Qiaofeng did not show any expression at all as he replied, "In the past, I wanted to continue settling in the South because if I returned to the North, I would only be reminded of my mother's death, father and the entire Zhang family."
Zhang Hongli was still waiting for his next remark, but he discovered the fact that the girl had absolutely no intention to continue with her remark. So he finally asked.
"That's the old excuse, if now?"
Zhang Qiaofeng looked far ahead, and not feeling two drops of tears falling down his cheeks. His words were as soft as talking to himself, but Zhang Hongli's sharp ears were able to hear clearly.
"For when he returns.he is not confused and lost..."
"Alright, there's still a lot of work to do. I'll go first!"
Zhang Hongli got up and hurriedly left from there. He knew who "he was" Zhang Qiaofeng meant. Who else if not the prince of his heart, a figure who had always been an imaginary friend of his granddaughter. Lin Tianlah that person.
"Feng'er, even if you didn't kill yourself, but honestly my heart feels very sad about your situation. Wear those beautiful eyes of yours to see this reality, use your common sense to accept it all, and shout out loud to your little heart that he is dead. Feng'er.the one you love.maybe it's not in this world. Why are you still faithfully waiting...?" Zhang Hongli muttered while crying. Actually he did not really leave, he was still there but rather a bit far away from Zhang Qiaofeng. He could clearly see that the girl was crying violently while hitting the ground beside her. He could feel how devastated and miserable his grandson was.
"But you Lin Tian, why are you leaving so fast!? Don't you see your non-state? At least come in one night and stop by for a moment in his dream. Express all your feelings and say goodbye. Don't torture him like this, please Lin Tian.." again he muttered and decided to leave as his tears were rushing.
...****************...
A few weeks later, a large entourage of the Hu family reached the king's city. Together with the Zhang family led by Zhang Hongli, they begged the emperor to make the Hu family a part of the Zhang family.
After hearing the explanations from both sides, Chu Quon finally agreed and from that day on, the Hu family officially became part of the Zhang family.
With the Zhang family's enormous and spacious new residence, the entire Hu family was able to be accommodated there without exception. They were even surprised to see the new residence of the Zhang family which was even larger than the Hu family's previous residence.
For the White River city, emperor Chu Quon finally chose his own family to guard the city. So after that, Chu Shen as the family leader sent a thousand people to the White River city to manage the place.
Even the Four Wind-Eye Gods who used to be Hu Tao's teachers, became part of the Zhang family as well. Despite the identity of the Zhang family, they still adventure throughout the place as before.
All was peaceful, Zhang Hongli and Minghao had never forced Zhang Qiaofeng to return to lead the family. In fact, many disagree with this, but they both always insist that it is the decision of the leader that cannot be changed and denied.
Zhang Qiaofeng's suicide attempt was kept secret from anyone. Zhang Hongli strictly forbade Lu Jia Li, Minghao and the nearly killed bodyguard to expose the slightest item of the incident to others. He did not want his grandson to be embarrassed and lose face so that he really wanted to die.
Until arriving one dark morning, even the moon was still clearly visible in the sky there, the footsteps of someone who ran hurriedly towards Zhang Qiaofeng's office.
"Shelf!" the door of the room was opened violently by someone.
"Woah!!–What a bastard, which demon is tired of living!!" Zhang Hongli who was asleep on the chair immediately kicked over the table and snapped. But a second later, he looked at who had come.
"Eh...Feng'er?"
The one who came was Zhang Qiaofeng. With her nightgown slightly translucent on the arm, this girl walked quickly before Zhang Hongli and dropped her prostrate head while crying.
"Eh-eh, what's going on?"
"Grandfather, I want to collect your promise! Please teach me the science of Bati's Tranquility!" while continuing to cry, Zhang Qiaofeng shouted loudly.
"Eh...Eehhh....!!! What's all of a sudden, tell me quickly!"
The two girls shoulders went up and down holding a sob, he raised his face looking at his grandfather and replied while continuing to whine like a child.
"Lin Tian's....Lin Tian...have said!!!"
"Waaahh!! Minghao..come and call a healer!! Our lady has gone mad for real!!"
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
