In response to Xiao Baishu's gratitude, Feng Guang simply smiled generously and said, "No need to thank me. I'm also very happy to have saved Hero Xiao."
This was a very fulfilling thing. Although no one said it, she knew that in other people's eyes she was just a useless young lady, and even she thought so herself. According to Qi Chang'an, the murderer who could kill with illusions seemed to be very troublesome, but she saved Xiao Baishu in such a dangerous situation.
Xiao Baishu forced a weak smile and said, "Miss Xia saved my life. If Miss Xia ever needs my help in the future, I will certainly do my best to help..."
"Master Xiao, you shouldn't think about these things for now," Qi Chang'an stepped forward and said. "You should focus on recovering from your injuries first. The righteous path will need you during the war to stop the fighting."
"Yes, Master Xiao, the most important thing for you right now is to conserve your energy and take good care of your health." A loud voice came from outside the door, and Xia Chao and Wang Ci walked in.
"Father! Mother!" Feng Guang ran over and hugged his mother's hand.
Although she already has a daughter who has reached marriageable age, Wang Ci is still worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world. Even time seems to have been kind to her, as there are no wrinkles on her face. Instead, compared to her teenage years, she has gained a mature beauty bestowed upon her by time.
Wang Ci was a chivalrous woman who roamed the martial world back then, and many of the people present had seen her before. Now that they saw her again, they couldn't help but stare at her a few more times. However, because Xia Chao, who had a bad temper, was present, the others did not dare to look too presumptuously.
Wang Ci smiled and patted Feng Guang's hand. "On the way here, I already heard from the people in the manor that it was Feng Guang who saved Hero Xiao, but a lot of people mistakenly thought that Feng Guang wanted to harm Hero Xiao. Feng Guang, don't be angry with these seniors. They were just being cautious, which is why they had to suspect you. These seniors are old, Feng Guang should understand, right?"
“What Mother says is certainly right,” Feng Guang replied with a smile.
The others looked quite embarrassed, especially Sun Yuanshan, whose face turned white and then green, then white again. Wang Ci's words sounded nice, extremely tolerant and magnanimous, but they were actually mocking them for being old and senile.
Wang Ci seems to have a better temper than Xia Chao, but anyone who has dealt with her knows that she is never one to suffer a loss.
Xia Chao glanced coldly at the sect leaders, snorted through his nose, and didn't greet them. Instead, he walked up to Qi Chang'an, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "When I left the Hidden Military Mansion, I thank Alliance Leader Qi for taking care of my daughter. Thank you for your trouble."
"It was my idea to take care of Fengguang, it's not a trouble at all, Brother Xia, you flatter me." Qi Chang'an nodded and smiled. "Moreover, this martial arts tournament had to be held secretly at the Hidden Military Mansion to prevent the infiltration of gangsters. All the heroes of the martial arts world gathered at the Hidden Military Mansion, so I'm the one who has troubled you, Brother Xia."
In the past, the martial arts tournament was always held at the Righteousness Manor. However, because of Zuo Shoudao's death, Qi Chang'an had to worry that there was an inside traitor. Otherwise, the underworld would not have known that Zuo Shoudao was one of the participants in the Zhige War and would have killed him.
The fact that these sect leaders readily accepted the change of meeting location suggests that they were also interested in the powerful weapons and artifacts in the Hidden Weapon Mansion.
