"Yes, yes, yes. Director Liu is right. I will immediately bring you to the Qin Family to ask for an explanation. This time, they must pay the price!" Zhao Ximu nodded repeatedly. He did not dare to delay and took a few steps forward. Then, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Zhao Xingxuan. "Great Grandfather, why don't you wait in the house first? Director Liu and I will be back soon. I will report the situation to you then! "
"Alright, you guys go! I'm going back to cultivate! " Zhao Xingxuan waved his hand disinterestedly. He, who had just lost face in front of Liu Huaishui, was naturally not interested in going with them. He responded casually and left in a huff.
When Zhao Ximu, Liu Huaishui, and the others had just stepped out of the Zhao Family's main gate, Qin Shengling and Xiao Chen were in the Qin Family's guest hall, listening to the information that their subordinates had sent back from different places.
Although the Qin Family had already deployed people in a few small towns nearby, no matter how much they asked, they could not find the whereabouts of Cheng Mengying and the others.
The news that came back made Xiao Chen a little disappointed. He did not know where they were in the vast Immortal Cultivation World, nor did he know where to start looking.
"Immortal Xiao, why don't … I get them to go to Liuxian Prefecture to ask around?" After listening to everyone's reports, Qin Shengling frowned and asked in a low voice, "After all, there are many people there. There will be more merchants coming and going. Who knows, maybe we can find out the whereabouts of your friends. What do you think?"
Whenever he thought about how Xiao Qiang had done so much for the Qin Family, but he could not even do such a small thing as find them, Qin Shengling felt very guilty.
Xiao Chen thought for a while, nodded, and said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, that's all we can do! Thank you, Old Master Qin. I did not expect that I would cause so much trouble for you after only coming to Yanlin Town for a few days. I feel quite bad about it. "
"Immortal Xiao, you are treating me like an outsider! To be able to do things for Immortal Xiao, it is a supreme honor for the Qin Family! " Qin Shengling waved his hand and said gratefully, "Moreover, you helped us deal with the Zhao Family. The Qin Family's income has increased several times compared to previous years. We should be thanking you!"
Due to Zhao Wendeng making a ruckus at the Qin Clan last time, not only did he not succeed in extorting them, he even allowed Xiao Chen to take the opportunity to ridicule him and flee with his tail between his legs. These matters were witnessed by the people and merchants of Yanlin Town, to the extent that many merchants believed that the Zhao Clan was already at its end, and they decisively threw out an olive branch to the Qin Clan one after another.
"Old Patriarch Qin, you flatter me." Xiao Chen said modestly. Then, he touched his nose in puzzlement and asked, "By the way, where has Taotian been these days? Could it be that he was also sent to other places to look for people? "
Ever since he killed the people from the Zhao Family, Xiao Chen had not seen any trace of Qin Taotian for a long time. Originally, this kid had always surrounded him and tried to please him. Now that he was suddenly gone, Xiao Chen could not help but feel a little unaccustomed.
"Not really." Qin Shengling shook his head and explained with a smile, "It's like this. Recently, a lot of merchants have come to our Qin Clan to cooperate. I thought that Taotian's father has not fully recovered, and he may not have the energy to deal with people. Since Taotian will take over the Qin Clan's business sooner or later, I simply let him talk to those merchants first and gain experience at the same time."
Xiao Chen nodded in understanding. Just as he was about to praise him, a servant suddenly ran in from outside in a hurry.
The two of them turned their heads and saw that the servant hurriedly saluted. He lowered his head and said carefully, "Master, Zhao Ximu, the head of the Zhao Clan, is now outside the gate. He said that he wants to see you by name, and he has brought a few strangers with him. They look aggressive and seem to want to harm our Qin Clan!"
"Pa!" Qin Shengling slammed the table heavily and stood up from the chair. He said angrily, "Why is it this kid again? Hasn't he learned enough from the lesson from the past few days? He actually dares to bring people to cause trouble. Isn't he looking down on our Qin Clan too much? "
"Old Master, there's no need to be too angry. Since Zhao Ximu wants to court death, let's go out and meet him." Xiao Chen stood up and stretched. He grinned and said, "I'm quite curious to know what tricks he plans to play this time!"
From Xiao Chen's point of view, this Zhao Clan was a bunch of people who did not learn their lesson. He might as well get rid of them all at once this time, lest they come to cause trouble for the Qin Clan every now and then!
"Hahaha! Xiao Qiang, although you're young, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant! Do you really think that our Zhao Clan can't do anything to you? "Before Xiao Chen and Qin Shengling could leave the guest hall, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
With a mocking voice, Zhao Ximu swaggered in with Director Liu and the rest. Zhao Ximu, who was walking at the front, pushed away the servant who was blocking the way.
Caught off guard, the servant was pushed back a few steps and fell to the ground. However, he also knew that the Zhao family had always been overbearing, so he didn't dare to have any complaints. He could only endure the pain and climb up, standing obediently on the side.
Zhao Ximu led Liu Huaishui into the hall and then casually sat in the guest's seat. Liu Huaishui sat in the main seat and leisurely crossed his legs. He narrowed his eyes and scanned everyone present.
"Who allowed you to …" Qin Shengling was about to explode in anger when he was interrupted by Liu Huaishui.
"Mr. Zhao, was Guan Weicai killed by this kid?" Liu Huaishui's gaze finally stopped on Xiao Chen. A trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
"That's right!" Zhao Ximu pointed at Xiao Chen and introduced him seriously. "Don't be fooled by his young age. His attacks were extremely vicious. He killed Senior Guan without asking any questions. He used a strange spell to kill Senior Guan! We couldn't stop him in time! "
"Zhao Ximu! What's wrong with you? How dare you come to our house and spout nonsense. Is Exalted Immortal Xiao someone you can insult? "Before Xiao Chen could speak, Qin Shengling jumped up and shouted at Zhao Ximu.
Zhao Ximu glanced at Qin Shengling. His eyes were filled with pride. He smiled coldly and added, "However, as far as I know, Xiao Qiang is only a watchdog hired by the Qin Clan. Qin Shengling, that old thing, is the real mastermind! Director Liu, don't let him off! "
"If that's the case, things will be easy!" Liu Huaishui raised his eyebrows and slammed the contract on the table.
