Uncle Zeng's face was solemn. Finally, he slowly raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Seeing this, everyone fell silent.

Uncle Zeng's attitude hardened, and he spoke louder, "We in the Shen Mansion are also victims. The one who introduced the black water was not our prince, but a woman who pretended to be his prince. If you want to claim compensation, you should claim it from her."

Hearing this, everyone had different expressions, and some suspected that they had heard it wrong.

"Mr. Zeng, what do you mean by this? You deliberately fabricated such a lie to shirk responsibility? And you even pretended to be someone else? Are you blind?"

"That's right, we don't believe it!"

"You can fool children with these words, but you want to fool us? I think you've made a wrong calculation."

Uncle Zeng saw this and waved his hand. In an instant, hundreds of secret guards appeared outside the Shen Mansion. The awe-inspiring aura made everyone's faces change slightly.

And the moment the secret guards appeared, the guards of the District Lord's Mansion drew their swords vigilantly and pointed them in the direction of the secret guards.

For a moment, the situation was tense.

Uncle Zeng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sternly sweeping over the gathered cultivators. He sneered, "I can return the spirit stones you bet on, but forget about the rest! If you're not convinced, that's fine. It'll just be a little more work for us in the Shen Mansion."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators' faces instantly turned ugly.

Are you threatening them?!

The overall strength of the Shen Mansion is still very strong. If they really want to be enemies with the entire Shen Mansion, then they are indeed no match for it.

However, District Master Xiao is here now!

Someone immediately turned towards District Master Xiao and said, "District Master Xiao, you must seek justice for us!"

District Master Xiao glanced at them coldly. "What kind of justice are you talking about? Most of you went to the Colosseum because of the Black Water name. Didn't you know the dangers before you went?"

After hearing this, many people felt guilty.

They did know that Blackwater was dangerous, but they didn't expect the situation to get out of control and put them in danger.

Uncle Zeng didn't expect District Master Xiao to speak up for them. He was a little surprised for a moment, and he immediately agreed, "District Master Xiao is right!"

Then he sighed deeply.

"Lord Xiao, this matter is indeed complicated. We only discovered yesterday that the princess we've known for over thirty years was actually a fraud. Sigh... We were completely deceived by her. She even used the black water without our knowledge, putting the entire Colosseum in danger."

After hearing these words, District Master Xiao was half-believing and half-doubting.

District Master Xiao said in a deep voice: "No matter what, you, the Shen family, cannot escape the blame!"

After saying that, he walked into the Shen Mansion.

Uncle Zeng could only wink at the person beside him and ask him to call His Highness.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Zeng brought District Master Xiao into the meeting hall of the Shen Mansion.

The practitioners gathered outside the Shen Mansion did not disperse, but waited in place.

In the lobby.

District Master Xiao did not choose to take a seat, but stood steadily in the center of the lobby. His figure was like a mountain, exuding an aura of majesty that could not be ignored.

But if you look closely, you will see that there is something unusual about the man's left arm.

Uncle Zeng smiled and said, "Lord Xiao, please wait a moment. Our Highness will be here soon."

District Master Xiao did not respond.

Time passed by bit by bit, but Uncle Zeng felt that each day was a year, because the invisible pressure from District Master Xiao was like a heavy mountain pressing on his heart, making it hard to breathe.

A moment later, someone came.

Uncle Zeng looked up, his pupils shrinking slightly. How could it be him?!

District Master Xiao seemed to have noticed it. He turned around and looked at the person who came. What came into his sight was a very young and handsome man. He was dressed in purple, and his black hair was only tied up with a red jade hairpin.

He curled his lips into a smile that was extremely charming.

District Master Xiao frowned, and alarm bells instantly rang in his heart, because he could feel the other party's unfathomable nature.

He asked, "Who are you?"

Feng Xingyao chuckled and said, "I am the future Taoist companion of His Highness Shen Fu. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me."

"Future Taoist companion?" A hint of hesitation flashed in District Master Xiao's eyes, "Isn't it Shen Ce?"

"Is Chen Ce worthy of this?" Feng Xingyao's smile faded.

In just that instant, District Master Xiao could feel the chill and murderous intent coming towards him.

District Master Xiao calmed down and stared at Feng Xingyao and asked, "Where's Chen Ke?"

"She's asleep."

District Master Xiao was speechless for a moment.

What does this mean?

District Master Xiao's eyes were cold, and he said in a cold voice: "This district master wants to see Chen Ke. If she doesn't show up to explain the matter of the Colosseum to this district master, then don't blame this district master for expelling the Chen Mansion from the Ninth District."

"Oh?" Feng Xingyao raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.

When Uncle Zeng heard this, his face darkened. He said, "District Master Xiao, you've only been in District 9 for over a decade. We, the Shen family, have been in District 9 for so long. Are you so sure you can uproot our Shen family from District 9?"

District Master Xiao glanced at him indifferently.

"That's not a bad idea."

As soon as he finished speaking, the murderous aura from Uncle Zeng poured out, like a surging torrent, rolling towards District Chairman Xiao.

District Master Xiao remained calm and just waved his hand lightly. An overwhelming pressure instantly surged out, completely suppressing Uncle Zeng's murderous intent!

boom--

Finally, an invisible force erupted like a storm, completely breaking up the contest between the two of them.

The whole scene fell into dead silence, as if time had stopped.

District Master Xiao turned to look at Feng Xingyao, his eyes dark and unclear.

I only heard him say:

"If you want to see Chen Ke, then just sit here and wait."

"Wait?" District Master Xiao frowned. Asking him to wait for Chen Ke to wake up was simply too ridiculous.

He was now very curious about Feng Xingyao's identity. He didn't look like someone from the Dark Realm, so he was most likely from the Upper Realm. He asked tentatively, "Who are you, sir?"

Feng Xingyao sighed softly, "Didn't I introduce you just now?"

District Master Xiao's expression was slightly solemn.

The Shen family really found a good backer.

The man in purple was very powerful, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Uncle Zeng also saw that District Master Xiao was wary of this noble one. Complex emotions welled up in his heart, and he thought to himself: The emperor husband that His Highness finds himself is more reliable than the one that the Grand Master finds!

"District Master Xiao, why don't you sit down and have some tea?" Uncle Zeng invited with a forced smile.

Upon hearing this, District Master Xiao actually nodded.

Uncle Zeng was suspicious, but now he could only tell the waiter to serve tea.

While waiting, District Master Xiao repeatedly tested Feng Xingyao.

Feng Xingyao did not reveal any information to the other party.

I don’t know how long it was, but after Chen Yan woke up and heard the news, he hurried over.

When she walked into the lobby, several people looked at her.

The moment District Master Xiao saw Chen Yan, his right hand, which was holding the teacup, suddenly lost its strength and the cup fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound. Then, he stood up abruptly, a look of uncertainty in his eyes.

"you……"
