"Different? How are they different? I don't quite understand."
Zhuo Lu was even more puzzled. They had both been expelled from China, so they should be treated the same way.
"The Xia family went abroad voluntarily. I don't even know the specifics, but they didn't leave in a hurry. They were obviously not forced out, but chose to go abroad on their own initiative."
Xing Zhicheng stretched his legs on the steps in front of him. Even though chatting could help him relax, the amount of exercise was real, and he was already feeling tired. "There's a saying within the Xing family that the Xia family's decision to go abroad was probably premeditated. They're planning something that ordinary people don't know about."
"As for offending Master Su... that's unlikely. Since Master Su entered the world, no one or any force has ever managed to live well after offending him. If the Xia family really offended Master Su, then frankly, we wouldn't have needed to come to Jiang City at all, because the Xia family would be gone."
"The reason we came here is because we know the Xia family will come back sooner or later. So we need to keep them in Jiang City and take over all the assets they couldn't take with them in time. Our mission this time is to cut off the Xia family's arm."
Xing Zhicheng stretched and, after a short rest, had almost recovered. He gestured towards the front and said, "Look, that's where Master Su lives in seclusion."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Lu finally snapped out of her shock. The information Xing Zhicheng had given her was so overwhelming that it could be said to have opened the door to a new world, enough for her to process for a while.
She looked up and suddenly saw a lush, verdant landscape.
Both Huangshan Scenic Area and Lianhua Peak are national-level scenic areas in China, and their scenery goes without saying; every place is as beautiful as a painting.
But just when Zhuo Lu had gotten used to the scenery and thought that all places were pretty much the same, the small courtyard in front of her was like a heavy punch to her heart.
Shocking!
The scenery I saw before, if described in terms of clarity, was like high-definition clarity, a qualitative leap compared to standard definition in the city.
But what scene lies before us?
Ultra HD? Blu-ray? Original quality? 4K?
Zhuo Lu couldn't think of any adjectives. Even though she graduated from a prestigious university, she felt the lack of vocabulary in the face of such a beautiful scene.
Perhaps because this place has not been developed, the various plants and rocks are still in their original state. The moment Zhuo Lu stepped into this place, she smelled an indescribable fragrance of plants. Just one sniff made her feel refreshed and relaxed, and it seemed that even her eyesight had improved a little.
A waterfall seemed to hang down from the sky, crashing onto the ground and splashing everywhere. Water droplets fell to the ground, and a pleasant earthy scent wafted up.
The courtyard is built next to the waterfall. It is small, with only a thatched hut and a bamboo house, but the courtyard is also large enough to encircle the entire waterfall.
Zhuo Lu admitted that based on this scene alone, she was convinced that Master Su, who lived here, was no ordinary person.
Some people feign detachment from worldly affairs in pursuit of fame and fortune, while others treat such things as worthless, choosing to live in seclusion. This scene was so shocking that Zhuo Lu couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Although she hadn't yet met Master Su, she was already completely impressed by him.
"Phew... No matter how many times I see this scene, it still leaves me deeply moved."
Xing Zhicheng's performance was not much better than Zhuo Lu's, and even he rarely came here.
Needless to say, the two henchmen following behind him stared wide-eyed.
"Alright, you two go find a place to rest and wait for us to come out."
Xing Zhicheng paused, then waved to his henchman on the left: "Give me your backpack."
"yes!"
After leaving their backpacks, the two subordinates knew that the next person was someone they couldn't contact. They glanced at Zhuo Lu one last time with envy and jealousy before leaving. To avoid seeing anything they shouldn't, they planned to rest in a place a little further down.
That's why they say beautiful women have good fortune.
Despite being a new employee, he received better treatment than the two men who had worked their butts off to earn their positions.
Even they couldn't get close to him, yet Mr. Xing was able to bring Zhuo Lu along. They could only feel envy.
"Let's go."
Xing Zhicheng patted his bulging backpack, a mysterious smile flashing across his face. He then looked at the somewhat puzzled Zhuo Lu and said calmly, "It would be too impolite to visit such a master without bringing a gift..."
Zhuo Lu nodded knowingly, and was about to walk into the courtyard with Xing Zhicheng. The prospect of meeting this legendary master made Zhuo Lu's heartstrings twitch with nervousness.
Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind them: "Stop! You brat... what are you doing?!"
Xing Zhicheng was stunned, his face instantly darkening as he muttered urgently, "These two idiots!"
This is Master Su's territory!
Although it's unknown who these two subordinates encountered, what if they offended Master Su's people, or even directly angered Master Su himself...?
Xing Zhicheng's face turned pale, and his features contorted with fear.
He suddenly turned around, intending to stop these two stupid idiots, and then saw a blond man with his hands in his pockets walking up from below with an air of nonchalance.
"I'm already here, what else can I do?"
Xia Che tilted his head slightly and smiled disdainfully.
Behind him, the two men who were considered by Xing Zhicheng to be among the top ten strongest under his command were horrified. They had originally reached out to stop him, but they froze in mid-air, their bodies limp like noodles as they fell backward.
Wow, so fast!
Xing Zhicheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and Zhuo Lu was also shocked. Neither of them had seen the blond-haired man's movements clearly. He seemed to have just casually passed by, and then instantly knocked down two of his henchmen who were known for their fighting prowess.
This young man...
He's a master!
Alarm bells rang in Xing Zhicheng's mind.
"Hello, young friend. You look like... well, a promising young talent."
Xing Zhicheng stepped forward and rubbed his hands together. Although he held a high position in the Xing family, he was always the one being fawned over, and there had never been anyone he could fawn over.
But the situation is different now. If we keep putting on a show, wouldn't that be like a tiger?
Seeing how naturally the other person acted as if they were at home, Xing Zhi, being an experienced and shrewd man, could tell at a glance that the other person's relationship with Master Su was unusual.
Just as the compliment was about to come out, Xing Zhicheng looked at the other person's blond hair and realized that the hairdresser's skills were not very good, with some parts being completely yellow and others being almost black.
His demeanor was also somewhat sleazy.
If you saw him normally, you would definitely think Xia Che was just a street thug.
This compliment about a promising young talent was rather forced...
