The Zhao family.
Zhao Yarou's sudden disappearance threw the Zhao family into chaos.
Without Zhao Yarou, House Zhao wouldn't be able to find another suitable candidate to enter Ten Directions Pill Province.
If no one could enter Shifang Dan Province, the Zhao family's situation would be even worse.
Thus, the Zhao family's main hall was filled with gloom.
Over the past few days, the Zhao family had secretly sent out countless experts, but there had been no news at all.
"The Xiang family has gone too far. Do they think there's no one left in the Zhao family?"
A Zhao Family Elder with a rather fiery temper smashed the chair next to him into pieces and stood up, "Patriarch, let me take my men out and fight to the death with the Xiang Family. I don't believe that the Xiang Family can overturn the heavens!"
"Sit down!"
Patriarch Zhao scolded him. "Don't you think there's enough trouble?"
The Xiang family was probably waiting for them to cause trouble.
"Are we just going to wait for our deaths?"
The hot-tempered elder retorted, not to be outdone.
If this went on, the Zhao family would definitely be replaced by the Xiang family, and the Zhao family would become a weak faction in Ningyang City.
"Sigh …"
Patriarch Zhao sighed inwardly.
Of course he knew that.
However, if they really wanted to fight to the death with the Xiang Family, the result would only be worse.
He had to ensure that the Zhao family's bloodline would not end in his hands.
"Patriarch, Patriarch, Miss Yarou is back …"
Just as the main hall was about to erupt into chaos, a Zhao family guard barged in and shouted excitedly.
"Yarou is back?"
The head of the Zhao Family immediately stood up.
When he asked, he found out that Zhao Yarou had returned to her room.
They could only wait in the main hall.
They did not understand why Zhao Yarou did not come in directly, but instead returned to her room.
Although it was less than an hour, to them, it felt like days had passed. It was unbearable.
Zhao Yarou and Qin Yichen appeared in the main hall at the same time.
"Yarou, child, how can you be so reckless? If anything happens to you … "
After seeing Zhao Yarou in person, the head of the Zhao family finally let out a sigh of relief. His anxious heart could be temporarily put down, but he still reprimanded her.
Actually, he knew why Zhao Yarou had risked her life.
It was all for the sake of the clan.
"I've made Father worry."
Zhao Yarou's eyes reddened.
When she thought about how the people who had escorted her had died tragically at the hands of the Xiang Clan, she couldn't help but cry.
She, who had always been sheltered, finally experienced the cruelty of reality.
If he hadn't met Qin Yichen …
"This is?"
After sighing for a while, the head of the Zhao Family noticed the stranger beside her.
The members of the Zhao Family also looked at Qin Yichen with different expressions. Most of them were wary.
Qin Yichen didn't mind. With the Zhao family's current situation, it was normal for them to be vigilant.
"This is my savior, Qin Yichen."
Zhao Yarou reined in her sorrowful emotions and introduced him to them. "If it wasn't for Mr Qin, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return …"
She was speaking the truth. If it wasn't for Qin Yichen, even if she was lucky enough to escape, returning to Ningyang City would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
"Thank you, little brother."
Although the head of the Zhao Family was a little confused, he still clasped his hands at Qin Yichen out of courtesy.
Qin Yichen was too young.
Could such a young man really save Zhao Yarou from the hands of the Xiang Clan's elites and escort her back safely?
He wasn't the only one who didn't believe it.
In the hall, more than half of the elders of the Zhao Family didn't believe it either.
Qin Yichen could only smile bitterly at this.
"Little brother, you're really capable. Some of our brothers couldn't even leave the city, but you managed to escort Yarou back without a fight …"
Someone spoke up, his voice full of doubt.
"Sixth Elder, Mister Qin has a special technique. We relied on that special technique to deceive our way through."
Sensing their attitude, Zhao Yarou stood out to explain for Qin Yichen.
She was worried that her family would anger Qin Yichen.
Because she was the only one here who had seen Qin Yichen's abilities.
"Sixth Elder, don't be rude."
The head of the Zhao Family also spoke up and scolded them. Then he smiled at Qin Yichen and said, "Since you're Yarou's savior, you're also our savior. I won't hide it from you, little brother, but our family's situation is a little special right now. I hope you won't treat us as outsiders."
His words were very polite, and he had the demeanor of the head of a family.
"It's nothing."
Qin Yichen smiled and didn't take it to heart.
He had already predicted this situation.
If Zhao Yarou hadn't been his master in his previous life, he probably wouldn't have put in so much effort to rescue her and even tried so hard to send her back.
It was normal for people to be suspicious.
"Prepare a banquet. Today, I want to thank Little Brother Qin properly."
At the head of the Zhao Family's words, everyone inside and outside the Zhao Family became busy.
At the same time, the Xiang Family also received some news …
"What? Zhao Yarou has returned to the Zhao Family? "
It was the same middle-aged man. As he spoke, he crushed the teacup in his hand.
"Yes, one of our informants saw it with his own eyes. Also, the Zhao Family is holding a banquet right now …"
Not far in front of him, a person prostrated himself, his voice trembling.
"Bang!"
With a loud explosion, the wooden table beside the middle-aged man shattered into pieces. Wood splinters flew everywhere.
"Tell them all to get back here!"
The middle-aged man's furious voice almost pierced the heavens.
He couldn't figure out how Zhao Yarou had returned to the Zhao Family.
Before long, a few people from the Consulate stood in front of him.
Under the middle-aged man's gaze, they lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Good, very good!"
The middle-aged man's voice was very low. Although it wasn't loud, it made the Consulates tremble.
"Are all of you blind?"
"What happened to your solemn vow? You said not even a fly could pass through. Zhao Yarou is a living person, can't you see her? "
"A bunch of useless trash!"
They were met with a storm of curses and kicks.
The Consulates were beaten and scolded, not daring to make a sound.
After the scolding, the middle-aged man sat at the head of the table with a gloomy expression. "I need a reasonable explanation, otherwise …"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Although the Xiang Family had someone to rely on now, in terms of overall strength, they were still inferior to the Zhao Family.
Now that Zhao Yarou had returned to the Zhao Family, the Zhao Family would do everything in their power to protect her until the Shifang Dankai came to pick her up.
