The dim back

Chapter 113 Fair Deal

Zhang Yulu stood quietly in front of Qiu Feng, her eyes revealing determination and sincerity. She took a deep breath and decided to have a good talk with Qiu Feng to make up for the injustice that the Qiu family suffered that year.

Qiu Feng looked a little cold, and there seemed to be a trace of pain in his eyes. He looked at Zhang Yulu silently, as if waiting for her explanation.

Zhang Yulu said softly: "Qiufeng, I know that what happened in the Qiu family back then caused you a lot of harm. The owner of Yiren Villa did do something wrong, and I apologize to you on his behalf." There was sincerity in her voice, hoping to resolve the resentment in Qiufeng's heart.

Qiu Feng's expression softened a little, but he still responded coldly: "Can an apology make up for everything in the past?"

Zhang Yulu nodded. "I know this can't be completely compensated, but I hope you can give me a chance to learn more about the situation, and we can find a solution to the problem together."

Qiu Feng was silent for a moment, but finally agreed to Zhang Yulu's request. They found a quiet place to sit down and started a frank conversation.

Qiu Feng told the story of the hardships that the Qiu family had experienced, and Zhang Yulu listened quietly, expressing her apologies and sympathy from time to time. The two gradually opened their hearts and their communication became more in-depth.

As the conversation progressed, Zhang Yulu and Qiu Feng both realized that only through mutual understanding and tolerance could they walk out of the shadow of the past and move towards the future together.

I thought the conflict could be further reduced, but unexpectedly, a word from the maid Qiu Feng made the relationship once again become tense.

Qiu Feng's maid inadvertently mentioned something unexpected, which was like throwing a stone into a lake, causing ripples.

The originally harmonious atmosphere was instantly broken, and the expressions of the two became solemn. Their eyes met, flashing with doubt and dissatisfaction. The verbal confrontation gradually became more intense, and the voices unconsciously rose an octave.

The maid's words were like a fuse that ignited the conflict between the two, and the hidden problems resurfaced. Anger, disappointment, grievance and other emotions filled the air, making people feel depressed.

The autumn wind seemed to sense the tense atmosphere, and it blew even harder, as if to cheer for the conflict. The quarrel between the two gradually spread in the autumn wind, echoing in the space, foreshadowing the escalation of the conflict.

"Miss, the Qiu family was wiped out not just because of Yiren Villa. I heard that there were other forces behind the scenes fanning the flames..." Qiu Feng's maid said in a low voice.

Zhang Yulu raised his head suddenly, "What? Are there other forces?"

Qiu Feng's eyes became more serious, "It seems that things are not that simple."

Zhang Yulu frowned, "What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this?"

At this moment, a melodious flute sound came from afar, interrupting their thoughts. Qiu Feng looked into the distance, thinking.

"This flute sound...seems to be coming from the old residence of the Qiu family."

Zhang Yulu and Qiu Feng looked at each other and decided to go to the Qiu family's old house together to find out what was going on.

The three of them came to the old house of the Qiu family and found it was already deserted. But the melodious flute sound was still echoing in the air.

Qiu Feng signaled the maid to stay where she was, and he and Zhang Yulu walked into the house cautiously.

In a side room, they found a white-haired old man playing the flute.

The old man seemed to notice their arrival. He put down the flute, turned around, and there was a hint of mystery in his eyes.

"You are finally here." The old man spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse.

Zhang Yulu and Qiu Feng looked at each other in surprise, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "I am the housekeeper of the Qiu family. I know some of the inside story of what happened back then."

Qiu Feng asked anxiously: "Tell us quickly, who is behind this?"

The housekeeper sighed, "Back then, the Qiu family got hold of a secret that was related to the safety of the martial arts world, which attracted the covetousness of various forces. Among them, there was a mysterious organization that colluded secretly and plotted something evil."

Zhang Yulu frowned and asked, "What is the origin of this mysterious organization?"

The housekeeper shook his head. "That's all I know. However, this secret may be hidden somewhere in the Qiu family."

Qiu Feng and Zhang Yulu decided to look for clues in the old house to solve the mystery.

Zhang Yulu and Qiu Feng began to search every room carefully, not missing any details. In a hidden corner, they found a tattered diary. When they opened the diary, they found some secrets and last words of the ancestors of the Qiu family. According to the hints in the diary, they found a hidden entrance to the basement. After entering the basement, they found a wooden box full of documents. Qiu Feng opened the wooden box, and the documents inside revealed the true purpose and plan of the mysterious organization. It turned out that this organization attempted to use the secrets of the Qiu family to control the entire world. Zhang Yulu said angrily: "We must expose the conspiracy of this organization!" Qiu Feng clenched his fists, "That's right, we can't let them succeed." Just as they were about to leave, the basement suddenly shook, and the soil and rocks above their heads began to fall. "No, it's going to collapse here!" Qiu Feng pulled up Zhang Yulu and the maid and ran desperately to the exit. At the last moment, they successfully escaped from the ruins, and the old house of the Qiu family behind them collapsed completely. Zhang Yulu looked at the messy scene and secretly vowed in his heart that he must find out the truth and avenge the Qiu family.

Zhang Yulu and Qiu Feng decided to go back to Yiren Villa first to discuss the matter. On the way, they met a knight in a hurry. When the knight saw the document in Zhang Yulu's hand, his face changed drastically.

"How did you get this?" the knight asked nervously.

Zhang Yulu looked at him warily, "Who are you?"

The knight realized his mistake and quickly explained: "I am a man of the underworld, and I have been investigating that mysterious organization. This document is crucial to uncovering their true identity."

Qiu Feng interrupted, “In that case, we can cooperate.”

The knight readily agreed, and he told Zhang Yulu and Qiu Feng that he had some clues about the mysterious organization. The four decided to join forces to fight against this evil organization and protect the peace of the rivers and lakes.

Zhang Yulu suggested going back to Yiren Villa to make a detailed plan, and everyone agreed. After returning to the villa, they sat together to discuss the next step. Zhang Yulu handed the document to the knight, who frowned after reading it carefully. "This organization is quite cunning, and we must be careful to deal with it." The knight analyzed. "That's right, we can't alert the snake." Qiu Feng echoed. After some discussion, they decided to send out spies to closely monitor the movements of the mysterious organization. At the same time, use various channels to collect intelligence in order to better understand the enemy. In addition, they also plan to contact other heroes in the world to get more support and help. Time is tight and the task is arduous, but Zhang Yulu and others do not flinch. They know that this battle is not only for personal grudges, but also for the peace of the entire world. In the days to come, they will go all out to fight a desperate battle with the mysterious organization.
