Hearing Qin Shuirou ask if he should inform his master, Ancient Saint Ice Lotus, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Sure, but I believe that Ancient Saint Heavenly Sun should know how to deal with it. Moreover, don't think too highly of the Prospective Holy Son. After all, he is not a Holy Son. Sun Sacred Sect has no reason to offend both the Heavenly Saint Sect and the Ancient Saint Sect for a Prospective Holy Son, let alone someone like Li Changle."
Xiao Chen didn't think that Ancient Saint Heavenly Sun would make a big fuss over someone like Li Changle. Perhaps Li Changle's talent was really good, but in Xiao Chen's opinion, Li Changle had no chance of becoming a Holy Son in this lifetime because of his character alone.
To become a Holy Son, one not only needed great talent, but also a broad mind and broad vision. If all Holy Sons were like Li Changle, then it would be really bad. At least, among the Holy Sons that Xiao Chen had seen so far, none of them were narrow-minded, including the fourth Holy Son of Sun Sacred Sect, Jun Tong.
Breadth of mind determined one's achievements, and breadth of vision determined one's height. This was what Xiao Chen had always believed. If one wanted to become a true powerhouse, talent alone was far from enough. This was also why those who could become quasi-saints in history, regardless of whether they were good or bad, were certainly not narrow-minded people.
They were taken to a small courtyard. The environment was good, but the surroundings were closely monitored. Moreover, Xiao Chen and the others were not allowed to take half a step out of the courtyard.
They were completely under house arrest. Xiao Chen didn't show the slightest resistance and calmly stayed in the courtyard. At the same time, in the depths of Sun Sacred Sect, in the cave of Ancient Saint Heavenly Sun, the previous Saint also truthfully told Ancient Saint Heavenly Sun what had happened. Just like Xiao Chen, Ancient Saint Heavenly Sun didn't show the slightest anger after hearing the whole story. He just said indifferently, "I've already noticed Li Changle.
"I've been paying attention to this Li Changle for a long time. This child is not someone who can achieve great things. Even if he can temporarily become the first candidate, he will be defeated by others sooner or later. If he dies, then so be it."
He wasn't angry about Li Changle's death at all. When he heard Prime Saint Tianyang's words, he stood aside respectfully.
"But Master, no matter what, Li Changle is still the Prospective Holy Son of our Sun Saint Sect. He was killed just like that. Are we just going to let it go?"
The Saint's words were very obvious. Li Changle's death was nothing. This was also Ancient Saint Tianyang's intention. However, this was related to the face of the Sun Sacred Sect. If they let Xiao Chen and the others go, what would the world think of the Sun Sacred Sect?
For the sake of Sun Saint Sect's face, he naturally couldn't let Xiao Chen go so easily. Hearing this, Prime Saint Tianyang smiled faintly and said, "How about this, tell the Heavenly Saint Sect and Ancient Saint Sect to send people to pick them up. This way, the world won't say anything."
They couldn't let Xiao Chen and the others go, but they could ask the Heavenly Saint Sect and Ancient Saint Sect to send people to pick them up. Moreover, the people sent had to be at least Saints. This way, in the eyes of outsiders, it was equivalent to the Heavenly Saint Sect and Ancient Saint Sect giving an explanation, and the Sun Sacred Sect's face could be saved.
Hearing this, the Saint also felt that this method was the best and respectfully nodded. "Yes."
Sure enough, Prime Saint Tianyang didn't make a big fuss. Soon, the Saint also conveyed this decision to Xiao Chen and the others. Hearing this, Qin Shuirou looked at Xiao Chen with a puzzled expression.
Because when he asked Xiao Chen if he should inform Prime Saint Bing Lian, Xiao Chen said that he could. Now, the Sun Sacred Sect actually gave such an answer. Everything seemed to be within Xiao Chen's expectations.
Facing Qin Shuirou's puzzlement, after the Saint left, Xiao Chen said with a smile, "It's not strange.
"It's not strange. Think about it, it's not a secret that I killed Li Changle, but many people outside the Sky Fire City saw it, so this matter naturally can't be hidden. Since it can't be hidden and Sun Saint Sect has no intention of pursuing it, they naturally need a way out. These big sects all value face more than anything else."
He had already guessed that the Sun Sacred Sect would ask the Heavenly Saint Sect and Ancient Saint Sect to send people to pick them up, so when Qin Shuirou asked if he should inform Prime Saint Bing Lian, Xiao Chen didn't refuse. Not only Qin Shuirou, but even Xiao Chen had already sent a message back to the Ancient Saint Sect. Presumably, the Ancient Saint Sect had already taken action.
"Well, let's stay in the Sun Sacred Sect for two days. Don't worry," he said to Qin Shuirou with a smile.
He wasn't worried about what would happen next, and the Sun Sacred Sect indeed didn't make things difficult for Xiao Chen and the others. Except for forbidding them to leave the small courtyard, everything else was very good. Even the injuries on Xiao Qing's body were specially prepared by the Sun Sacred Sect for him to take.
Xiao Chen hadn't seen Xiao Qing for a long time. In the next few days, it was rare for him to be by Xiao Qing's side.
And from Xiao Qing's mouth, Xiao Chen also knew why he became Li Changle's slave.
Originally, Xiao Qing was directly sent to the Sun Sacred Sect and then cultivated in the Sun Sacred Sect. Once, he heard that the Hundred Thousand Fire Domain of the Sun Sacred Sect was a good place to gain experience, so Xiao Qing came to Heavenly Flame City.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Qing was intercepted by a group of roving bandits outside Heavenly Flame City. Fortunately, he was saved by Li Changle who happened to pass by.
He originally thought that Li Changle was his savior, but who would have thought that this Li Changle wasn't a good person at all.
His ancestral home was in Heavenly Flame City, so he had his own family business in Heavenly Flame City. After saving Xiao Qing, Li Changle arranged for Xiao Qing to be a servant in Heavenly Flame City.
Although he was called a servant, he was actually a slave. As long as Xiao Qing didn't do a good job, Li Changle would punch and kick him. Just like that, Xiao Qing stayed in Heavenly Flame City for four years.
After knowing Xiao Qing's experience in these years, Xiao Chen also told Xiao Qing about the situation of his mother, Bai Ruyue. Hearing that Bai Ruyue had been arranged by Xiao Chen to stay in the Wuyue Empire of the Ancient Sacred State and wasn't in any danger, Xiao Qing was relieved.
The days in the Sun Sacred Sect were very peaceful. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Chen could also accompany his father.
Two days passed in a row. On this day, someone suddenly came to visit. The people who came were Yan Xiong and Zhao Hefeng, who were acquaintances of Xiao Chen.
These two people could be considered old acquaintances of Xiao Chen. He didn't know where they heard the news that he was in the Sun Sacred Sect, but the two of them came together.
After taking a seat in the main hall, Xiao Chen took the initiative to cup his hands to Yan Xiong and said, "Senior Brother Yan Xiong, Brother Zhao, why are you here?"
"Haha, we heard that Junior Brother Xiao is a guest in the Sun Sacred Sect, so we naturally came. No matter what, we have to be a good host." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yan Xiong laughed loudly.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen also smiled and replied, "Senior Brother Yan Xiong must be joking. I'm not here as a guest, I'm under house arrest."
