At this moment, Fu Lu couldn't be bothered to pretend any longer. Standing there hunched over, he already appeared taller than the others, and even when slouching, he seemed more robust. Now, he simply straightened his waist and shoulders, instantly towering taller.
The guards watched him stand tall, becoming so massive and imposing, and they exchanged glances, secretly astonished that they hadn't noticed it earlier.
Then they watched Fu Lu walk straight over to a tree planted in the corner. The tree was as thick as a bay bowl's mouth and lush with branches and leaves.
Fu Lu walked up to it, bent down, and hugged the trunk from behind.
"Does your brother want to uproot this tree?!" One of the guards, although seeing how tall and stout Fu Lu was, couldn't help but feel that his current action was somewhat reckless, and his tone involuntarily carried some mockery.
Fu Wen just silently glanced at him and said nothing, leaving the guard a bit awkward and pouting.
