Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

What Ma Shaokang just said was actually a cover-up. He only revealed the matter of Ma Tianyi and Zhao Zhen because he didn't know who was standing behind the two of them, or what kind of strength and background they had.

Furthermore, Grandpa Shanhua might not be willing to confront such a strong man. What if he finds out that there is a mastermind behind the scenes and is unwilling to accept him?

However, what Ma Shaokang did not expect was that Grandpa Shanhua had actually met his father Ma Ruzhen and even knew about his martial arts attainments.

I was happy at first. Although we were not old acquaintances, we could be considered old acquaintances. Knowing each other's names, meeting each other, and communicating with each other were enough. It could be used to build bridges and establish relationships.

Then, he was shocked, fearing that his deliberate concealment would anger the other party and make Grandpa Shanhua think that he had other intentions.

Therefore, in just a short moment, Ma Shaokang considered all the pros and cons and said with a wry smile,

“Ma Tianyi and Zhao Zhen alone are certainly no match for my father, but behind them stands an unknown master, or even a powerful force. I also learned from them that my father was not killed by them personally, but by the person behind them.

But I don’t know who that person is, or how good his martial arts skills are.”

Ma Shaokang's words were full of bitterness. In fact, if Ma Tianyi and Zhao Zhen were not so arrogant, no secrets would have been leaked. It can only be said that people should control their mouths.

Grandpa Shanhua was not surprised at all. If there was no such mastermind behind the scenes, Ma Tianyi and Zhao Zhen alone would have been able to take down Ma Ruzhen. This only meant that he had misjudged the person and Ma Ruzhen was not as powerful as he had thought.

“So, you want revenge not only on your two uncles, but also on the mastermind behind this?

Now you don’t even know who that person is, can you really do it?”

It seems that Grandpa Shanhua is doubting the possibility of Ma Shaokang's successful revenge, but on a deeper level, he is testing Ma Shaokang to decide whether to continue to persevere or give up.

His idea was very simple. If he chose to continue to persevere, he would cut off the connection between Shanhua and Ma Shaokang at the critical moment, because once people are driven by hatred, they will do anything to achieve their goals.

He himself was not afraid at all. Even if Ma Shaokang had some plans or plots, he did not take it to heart at all. The gap in strength between them was too big. If he played tricks, even a hundred Ma Shaokangs would not be his match.

But Shanhua can't do that. Once she is deceived by this guy, she might fall into danger.

Grandpa Shanhua knew very well that Ma Ruzhen was not a simple character, nor was he just the owner of Majiazhuang. The person who could plot and assassinate him must have a very powerful force with extraordinary origins, so he must not rashly intervene.

Therefore, if Ma Shaokang insists on revenge, he will be an unstable factor. No matter how Shanhua thinks of him in the future, their relationship must be severed.

On the contrary, if Ma Shaokang gave up revenge, Grandpa Shanhua could actually allow Shanhua and Ma Shaokang to be friends within a limited scope. This is also based on many considerations.

Giving up revenge shows his realism and cold-heartedness. He is willing not to avenge his father's murder. Anyone who thinks about or sees such a person will find him despicable.

Being friends with such a cold-hearted person requires careful consideration, let alone being a lover, Grandpa Shanhua would never allow it.

As for Ma Shaokang's two choices, neither of them had a good result. It can only be said that this man's origin and background destined Grandpa Shanhua to have a bad impression of him.

Shanhua didn't understand these things, and Ma Shaokang only had a vague understanding of them. However, Meng Zhao, who was hiding in the dark and spying, saw everything and understood what Shanhua's grandfather was thinking.

Originally, he thought that this encounter with Shanhua was a turning point in Ma Shaokang's fortune, and he began to thrive from the bottom. However, he did not expect that this man would fall into the gutter and meet a cunning person who could not be easily fooled. Grandpa Shanhua was probably also a scheming person in the past, but later he got tired of these things and just devoted himself to the mountains and rivers and came to live in seclusion in the depths of Hengqu Mountain.

Ma Shaokang's face turned black and white for a long time before he said,

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. If you don't even dare to try, I'm afraid I'll never be able to sleep or eat well in my life."

After a pause, the delicate figure of Shanhua was reflected in the depths of his eyes, which seemed to be a promise, as if it was a firm determination.

“But don’t worry, senior. I won’t bring trouble to Shanhua. You can rest assured!”

Shanhua was very dissatisfied when she heard this and snorted,

"That's too polite. We are friends, so we should help each other. If you want revenge, I will definitely help you!"

As she spoke, she waved the jade flute in her hand. Although her own martial arts skills were average, even inferior to Ma Shaokang's, the beast taming skills she learned were extraordinary and could play a huge role, which could not be covered by martial arts alone.

Grandpa Shanhua's face darkened at first, then disappeared. He was still smiling, approachable and kind. He touched Shanhua's little head.

"Children are not allowed to fight and kill. Making friends requires heart. If you rely on fighting and killing to make friends, where is the true friendship in the world?"

Although nothing else was said, the implication was already very clear. To make friends, one must be open-hearted, and Shanhua must not be involved in this matter. If Ma Shaokang is informed and sensible, he can naturally maintain his dignity. If he is ignorant and sensible, then Grandpa Shanhua will help him to maintain his dignity.

Of course, these are not things that can be seen or concluded right now, and they still need time to be verified.

Of course Ma Shaokang heard Grandpa Shanhua's warning. He smiled bitterly, and nodded at Grandpa Shanhua when Shanhua wasn't paying attention. As for what he was thinking in his heart, probably only he knew.

However, Ma Shaokang compromised, but Shanhua was unwilling to do so. She finally met a friend of the same age, and his life story was so miserable and sad that it aroused her sympathy. In addition, her grandfather's warnings and restrictions made her rebellious.

"Grandpa, why are you so overbearing and don't ask me for help? Then I will teach Ma Shaokang the art of taming beasts. Then, he can get revenge on his own!"

As soon as he said this, Ma Shaokang was shocked and almost burst into joy. If this was true, it didn't matter whether there were mountain flowers or not.

If he could really learn the art of taming beasts and then look for an opportunity, I can’t say anything else, but dealing with Ma Tianyi and Zhao Zhen should be a sure thing.

By then, it would not be difficult to force the two to reveal the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

If the mastermind behind this is incredibly powerful, then continue to practice hard and take revenge when you are sure you will.

If he lacks the strength and only relies on conspiracy, Ma Shaokang will not back down.

To seek revenge, of course one must find the real perpetrator. Ma Tianyi and Zhao Zhen are just appetizers. (End of this chapter)
