After Zhao Cangqiong sent everyone away, he came to Xiao Chen's room.
He looked at the messy room and his eyelids twitched. It seemed that he had indeed experienced a great danger.
"Just now I was afraid that I couldn't hold on, so I asked Beizi to go find you..."
Xiao Chen said this and bowed.
"Thank you City Lord Zhao and Senior Lu for coming to our rescue immediately."
"nothing."
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.
"Fortunately, you have a secret method to block this attack, otherwise it would be too dangerous."
"yes."
Xiao Chen nodded. If it weren’t for Chi Li, it would have been very dangerous.
I don’t know what’s going on with Chili…is he mad?
You must not let such a good sister get mad at me!
This tonight... can be considered a life-saving grace.
"You have to be careful. If you fail in your first attack, there may be a backup plan."
Lu Hongyun reminded.
"Especially this kind of soul attack, which is invisible and hard to defend against."
"Chen Xiao, why don't you stay at the City Lord's Mansion for a few days?"
Zhao Cangqiong looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Thank you for your kindness, City Lord Zhao. I appreciate it. I won't bother you anymore."
Xiao Chen shook his head. He still had to wait for Xiao Sheng. Going to the City Lord's Mansion would be too risky.
Seeing Xiao Chen's refusal, Zhao Cangqiong said nothing more.
"By the way, City Lord Zhao, if I plan to leave, is the teleportation array available?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked.
He has already set a time, and if Xiao Sheng doesn't come, he won't keep waiting.
"Okay, I'll take you away then."
Zhao Cangqiong said slowly.
"Thank you, City Lord Zhao."
Xiao Chen nodded, this was considered a promise to him.
He knew very well that if he left on his own, Gongsun Zhen would definitely obstruct him.
Unless he doesn't leave through the teleportation array.
But if we don’t teleport, it’s still some distance to the nearby big city.
Of course, since Zhao Cangqiong made a promise, he also owed someone a favor.
"We'll leave then, too."
Lu Hongyun said something.
"Together."
"OK."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Senior Lu, don't you want to go to Xuanyuan Realm for a stroll?"
"Let's not go yet. If there's any movement over there, we can still rush over in time."
Lu Hongyun shook his head.
"I'm going to take Wudi to the Wudi Road first."
"Um."
After chatting for a while, Zhao Cangqiong and Lu Hongyun left.
Xiao Chen personally saw them to the door and watched them leave.
When the two figures disappeared from his sight, his eyes turned cold.
Tonight...he almost died!
This grudge is really huge!
"Brother Chen..."
"Go back and tell me."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he turned around and went upstairs back to his room.
"I was so scared just now that I didn't dare come in, for fear that I couldn't help and would cause more trouble."
As soon as Wang Pingbei came in, he quickly explained why he didn't come in.
He was afraid that Xiao Chen would say he was afraid of death.
"You were right not to come in."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Beizi, thanks to you for being here today, otherwise it would be dangerous... Thank you."
"Brother Chen, why are you telling me this? You saved my life several times."
Wang Pingbei smiled.
"Gongsun Zhen...Xuanyuan Realm."
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and took Lu Hongyun's words in.
Xuanyuan Realm is indeed a good place to kill people.
"Brother Chen, what are you thinking about?"
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and asked hurriedly.
"I was thinking, how can I get rid of Gongsun Zhen..."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Is it really Gongsun Zhen?"
Wang Pingbei knew that, not to mention that Xiao Chen had wanted to kill Gongsun Zhen in the first place, now that he had almost died at the hands of Gongsun Zhen, there was no end to the situation.
It's not his character not to kill Gongsun Zhen.
"Well, it's probably him."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Brother Chen, I think before we consider killing him, we should first consider how to protect ourselves. He has a magic weapon that targets the soul..."
When Wang Pingbei said this, his face turned pale.
"Will he come to kill me?"
"No."
Xiao Chen glanced at Wang Pingbei and shook his head.
"Why?"
Wang Pingbei asked hurriedly.
"Because you don't deserve it."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
“…”
Wang Pingbei blushed. Is it necessary to say it so bluntly?
"Don't blame me for being frank, it's true."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Even Wu Qingming, they feel unworthy..."
"Too."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"It's good that they don't match. If they really match, I won't dare to sleep at night."
"It's time to sleep. After all, it's useless to be afraid. If you don't sleep, you can't prevent it."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette.
"Tell me, if I sneak into the Gongsun family now, will I have a chance to kill him?"
"No way? There are so many experts over there."
Wang Pingbei thought for a moment and said.
"What if we use the same method we used against the Great Venerable Fierce Snake?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"This... is still very risky. You can't capture all the strong men in Shanhai Tower in one fell swoop. If you fail to do so, you will be easily exposed."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"Especially Gongsun Zhen. He's injured and he's afraid that you'll cause trouble for him, so he'll definitely be very careful."
"That's right... OK, let's just spare him for now."
Xiao Chen smoked a cigarette and gave up.
"Beizi, go back to sleep."
"Yeah, Brother Chen, you didn't go there secretly, did you?"
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen.
"No, I took a rest too. It was very dangerous before. Although I wasn't injured, I was very tired."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"good."
Wang Pingbei breathed a sigh of relief.
"If anything happens, just call me anytime."
"Um."
Wang Pingbei went back. Xiao Chen simply tidied up the room and sat down cross-legged.
He activated the 'Chaos Art', his soul power trembled, and his consciousness surged into the upper dantian.
"I don't feel anything strange anymore... Could it be that Chi Li's trick was accidentally defeated by Gongsun Zhen?"
Xiao Chen sensed it carefully and felt a little excited.
"Sister Chili? Sister Chili, thank you so much for today."
After Xiao Chen tried shouting a few times and got no response, he stopped thinking about it.
There is no point in worrying about anything. Poverty can't solve any problems.
If the problem is not solved, just wait for the next attack of the Red Lizard and then deal with it.
"Tonight is really a blessing in disguise..."
Xiao Chen muttered and entered the bone ring.
He felt that it was unsafe to stay outside.
Although the possibility of Gongsun Zhen making a surprise attack is not very high, what if it happens?
"@%..."
The Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth saw Xiao Chen coming in and ran over.
"Little guy, I almost didn't see you, you know?"
Xiao Chen touched the head of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root and smiled.
But soon, his eyes became extremely cold and murderous intent surged again.
He thought of the baby in Su Qing's belly!
I'm going to be a father!
He said he must go back alive!
"Gongsun Zhen, you must die!"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself coldly.
“@￥%%…”
The spiritual root of heaven and earth shrank his neck and looked at Xiao Chen, not knowing what had happened.
"hehe."
Xiao Chen touched the spiritual root of heaven and earth, dispelled his murderous intent, and smiled again.
Then, his eyes fell on the head of Great Venerable Fierce Snake, wondering how to send it to Zhao Cangqiong.
Then there’s Xiao Sheng, will he come?
If he doesn't come, how should he find him?
A few hours passed in a flash.
It's getting light.
After Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei had breakfast, they went out.
"Brother Chen, shall we go to the Tianji Pavilion to buy information?"
"Well, let's talk about it."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"We must be careful with our words and actions, lest Xu Chao finds out..."
Wang Pingbei reminded.
"Once he becomes suspicious, he will definitely keep a close eye on us."
"I've been in Tianwaitian for a while now, and I'm completely used to this place. Don't worry."
Xiao Chen smiled.
Soon, the two arrived at Tianji Pavilion.
Hearing that Xiao Chen had arrived, Xu Chao hurried out.
"Brother Chen, come in, please."
"good."
They arrived at the reception room, where tea was served, and only Xiao Chen and the other two were left.
"Brother Chen, please have some tea."
Xu Chao said this, looking Xiao Chen up and down.
"I'm relieved to see that you're okay."
"Hehe, Brother Xu, have you heard about what happened last night?"
Xiao Chen chuckled.
"Yes, I heard about it. I was practicing in a secret room at the time, so I didn't go there."
Xu Chao nodded.
"That method was able to kill Wu Qingming, which shows how dangerous it is... Brother Chen was lucky to escape."
"I came here this time to see if there is any news from Brother Xu."
Xiao Chen looked at Xu Chao and said.
"As for the price, that's easy to say."
"Brother Chen is being polite."
Xu Chao took a sip of tea.
"In fact, Zhao Cangqiong sent someone to ask before you... I dare not say anything else, but the news from Tianji Pavilion is definitely the most well-informed."
"Oh? What did City Lord Zhao ask?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"About the news around your inn last night."
Xu Chao replied.
"Oh? Then I wonder what Brother Xu said?"
Xiao Chen also drank a sip of tea.
"In fact, Tianji Pavilion is the same as Wenqing Tower. They are both engaged in business and rarely intervene in other people's affairs... Only by staying out of other people's business can you be tolerated by the martial arts world. Brother Chen should understand this principle."
Xu Chao smiled.
"I see. It means 'Mind your own business and you will live longer, mind your own business and you will die sooner', right?"
Xiao Chen nodded.
“…”
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xu Chao was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
But when he thought about it again, it was roughly the same idea.
"I told Zhao Cangqiong that there is no news... I don't want to offend Zhao Cangqiong, nor do I want to offend Shanhai Tower."
"Well, that was my fault."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"No, this is just what I said to Zhao Cangqiong. I believe he can understand it."
Xu Chao shook his head.
"Last night, before you got into trouble, Gongsun Zhen did appear near your inn. At that time, he was wearing night clothes and a black scarf covering his face."
"oh?"
Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold, it was really him!
"Hey, let me ask you something. Since you were wearing a black scarf and covering your face, how did you know?"
Wang Pingbei was curious.
"He can't wear the black scarf all the time. There will always be times when he doesn't wear it."
Xu Chaodao.
"Why tell me if you don't tell Zhao Cangqiong?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xu Chao and asked.
"Zhao Cangqiong is the city lord. With this identity, I can't get involved. I said that, and the meaning has changed."
Xu Chao chuckled.
"You are different. We have a friendship, and you were involved last night... Of course, once you walk out of this door, just pretend I never said anything, and I won't admit it."
"Oh, I didn't hear anything."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Thank you, Brother Xu."
