Shua!
Just as the two of them were bewildered, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared beside them.
This person was about 1.8 meters tall and had a slender figure. He wore a golden robe with an extraordinary golden dragon embroidered on it.
"City Lord?"
Their eyes trembled as they immediately bowed and kowtowed. "Greetings, City Lord."
"Yes."
"Let's talk somewhere else."
The golden-robed man nodded. With a wave of his hand, the three of them immediately disappeared without a trace.
… ….
Three days later!
In the morning, Zhao Eryong and the other two were buried.
However, the Zhao family did not make this matter public.
This was Zhao Xiaojin's idea. He wanted to leave quietly. There was no need to make a fuss.
Moreover.
This was also out of consideration for the future of the Zhao family.
She also knew that her father was the pillar of the Zhao family. If the news of her father's death were to spread, it would definitely have a great impact on the Zhao family.
Therefore …
Only the direct members of the Zhao family knew about this.
Even the servants were kept a secret.
… ….
At night!
In a certain hall.
A group of people sat around a table.
The leader was Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle and second uncle, followed by their wives and children.
Qin Feiyang and Zhao Xiaojin were also sitting at the table.
The large round table in front of them was filled with all kinds of dishes and jugs of wine.
There were a total of more than twenty people.
They were all dressed in plain white clothes with sad expressions.
"Sigh!"
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle swept his gaze across everyone, stood up and sighed: "Third Brother's death is the pain of our Zhao family, but there is a good saying, the dead cannot be brought back to life, our condolences!"
"That's right!"
The second uncle also stood up and forced a smile, saying, "I believe that Third Brother doesn't want to see us so sad even in the underworld."
As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and looked at everyone: "All of you, stand up, hold the wine, and toast their undead."
The Zhao family all stood up and held their wine glasses.
Including Zhao Xiaojin.
Qin Feiyang looked at everyone and also stood up with his wine glass.
Originally.
He was an outsider and shouldn't be sitting here.
But there was nothing he could do. Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle and second uncle were too enthusiastic. No matter what, he had to sit down and drink a few cups.
Since the other party thought so highly of him, he naturally couldn't refuse.
Thus, he stayed behind to accompany Zhao Xiaojin!
"Third brother, rest in peace!"
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle roared in grief and indignation, he raised his head and drank.
"Third Brother, we'll take good care of Little Jin for you. Don't worry!"
Zhao Xiaojin's second uncle let out a howl of grief. With tears in his eyes, he raised his head and drank the cup.
The other members of the Zhao family were.
Everyone's face was filled with sorrow.
Seeing...............................................
....
.............
"Have a seat!"
Zhao Xiaojin's eldest uncle smiled and poured another cup. He looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "Little brother, thank you for taking care of Xiaojin in the Alliance Capital. You are Xiaojin's friend, so you are also a friend of the Zhao family. In the future, the Zhao family's door will always be open for you. I'll drink first as a toast."
After saying that, he held the wine glass with both hands and drank it in one gulp.
"Friends should help each other. There's no need to be so polite."
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. He also poured himself a cup and drank it.
"Good, good, good."
"It's Xiaojin's fortune to have a friend like you."
Zhao Xiaojin's second uncle nodded in relief and said with a smile, "Let me toast you too."
"You're welcome."
Qin Feiyang smiled and drank another cup.
Zhao Xiaojin looked at the three of them and stood up. "You guys eat slowly. I'll go sit outside."
"What's wrong?"
Her eldest uncle and second uncle looked at her suspiciously.
"I want to be alone for a while."
Zhao Xiaojin said.
"Alright then!"
"Don't go too far."
The two of them looked at each other and nodded.
"Yes."
Zhao Xiaojin replied and walked outside.
Crack!
But at this moment.
Qin Feiyang's body suddenly swayed. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Xiaojin immediately stopped and looked at Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang's face quickly turned pale, and his lips turned black.
There was even a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The blood was actually black!
"This is …"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaojin's expression suddenly changed. She quickly went forward to support Qin Feiyang and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
At this moment.
Qin Feiyang felt weak all over, and a tearing pain came from his soul.
There was also a trace of surprise in his eyes.
But soon.
His target was the broken wine glass. A terrifying thought crawled up in his mind.
— — there was poison in the wine!
And this feeling of being poisoned was very familiar.
It seemed to be … Spirit Severing Powder!
"You poisoned me!"
Suddenly.
He looked up at Zhao Xiaojin's uncle and uncle and said angrily.
"Poisoned?"
The moment he said that, everyone was shocked.
Everyone at the table was so scared that they immediately threw away the wine glasses in their hands. They all stood up and looked at the two of them in shock.
"Uncle, uncle, what's going on?"
Zhao Xiaojin also looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
The two of them were silent as they sized up Qin Feiyang.
Pu!
Suddenly.
Zhao Xiaojin also spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body swayed and fell to the ground powerlessly.
Her lips and blood were also black.
"It's really poisonous!"
She looked at the wine glass that she had just drunk from, her eyes filled with shock.
Why was there poison in the wine?
Qin Feiyang looked at Zhao Xiaojin's appearance, then looked at the rest of the Zhao family.
Whether it was Zhao Xiaojin's uncle or their wives and children, none of them were poisoned.
In other words.
Only he and Zhao Xiaojin were poisoned.
This was specifically targeted at them!
Moreover.
Judging from their previous reactions, their wives and children did not know about it.
In other words, the people who poisoned them were Zhao Xiaojin's uncle and uncle.
"Uncle, uncle, say something!"
Zhao Xiaojin roared.
The two of them looked at each other. The smile on their faces disappeared and was replaced by coldness. Then, they slowly stood up.
"Father, what's going on? Why are they the only ones poisoned and we're all fine? "
A young man asked in surprise.
He was one of Zhao Xiaojin's uncle's sons.
Zhao Xiaojin's uncle said, "Because only their wine glasses are poisoned."
"Only their wine glasses are poisoned?"
"Then who poisoned them?"
"It can't be you guys!"
Everyone looked at the two of them.
"It's us."
The two of them nodded.
"Why?"
"Xiao Jin, she's our family!"
A woman looked at the two of them and said angrily.
"Shut up!"
The two of them berated and then looked at Qin Feiyang and Zhao Xiaojin.
"Xiaojin, don't blame us."
"We're also trying to protect the Zhao family."
"If you don't die, the Zhao family will be finished!"
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. You've offended someone we can't afford to offend."
The two of them shook their heads.
"Offended someone we can't afford to offend?"
Qin Feiyang's eyes flickered and said in a deep voice, "Are you talking about the Tenth Elder?"
"That's right."
"The person who wants to kill you is the Tenth Elder."
The two of them nodded.
"Bastard, bastard …"
"He's the one who killed your brother. You're actually helping him to harm us?"
"I'm your niece."
"My father is your brother. He was just buried and his body is not cold yet. You're treating me like this. Do you still have any humanity left?"
Zhao Xiaojin roared weakly, her eyes filled with pain.
She had just lost her family, and now even her closest relatives wanted to harm her. Her heart ached!
"We have to protect the Zhao family, so don't blame us."
The two of them shook their heads.
"Haha …"
At this moment.
Accompanied by loud laughter, a golden-robed man pushed open the door of the hall and strode in.
"The City Governor?"
Zhao Xiaojin's pupils constricted.
"He's the City Governor of Ocean of Clouds City?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised and bewildered.
"That's right!"
Zhao Xiaojin nodded.
"Greetings, City Governor."
Zhao Xiaojin's uncles hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Well done."
The City Governor nodded with a smile, and then he gazed at Qin Feiyang and Zhao Xiaojin before he shook his head and said, "The two of you could have offended anyone, but you chose to offend the Tenth Elder. Aren't you courting death?"
"You arranged all of this?"
Zhao Xiaojin spoke furiously.
"Yes."
"I had no choice. It was the Tenth Elder's orders. I had to do it."
The City Governor said.
"You bastard …."
"Don't you remember that my father helped you all those years ago? If it wasn't for my father, how could you have become the City Governor of Ocean of Clouds City? "
Zhao Xiaojin roared furiously.
"Little Niece, you don't have to mention that on purpose."
"Your father has done me a favor, but I've taken care of your Zhao family all these years, so we're even."
The City Governor smiled coldly.
"My father was really blind!"
Zhao Xiaojin had a sorrowful expression on his face.
"He really was blind. Otherwise, how could he have offended the Tenth Elder?"
The City Governor laughed coldly, and then he gazed at Zhao Xiaojin's uncles and said, "Kill them!"
"We'll kill them?"
Both of them were stunned.
"If it wasn't the two of you, then could it be me?"
"To tell you the truth, this is the Tenth Elder's test for the two of you."
"If the two of you don't attack, then it means that the two of you aren't truly loyal to the Tenth Elder."
"Do the two of you know what the consequences will be?"
The City Governor laughed coldly.
Their gazes shook.
"Conversely, so long as the two of you kill Zhao Xiaojin with your own hands, then it proves that the two of you are on the same side as us, and we'll naturally take care of your Zhao family in the future."
"We'll even allow your children to enter the Alliance Capital."
The City Governor said.
"Enter the Alliance Capital!"
Both of their eyes were instantly filled with joy, and then they exchanged glances and looked at Zhao Xiaojin at the same time, "Xiaojin, your death is worth it to be able to obtain a bright future for the Zhao family."
"I won't forgive the two of you even if I become a ghost!"
Zhao Xiaojin looked at the two of them with resentment.
"Then I'll make sure you don't even have the chance to become a ghost!"
A cold light flashed in their eyes as they took a step forward. One of them charged towards Qin Feiyang, while the other charged towards Zhao Xiaojin.
"What a wonderful performance, but the best part is yet to come. Just wait and see!"
Qin Feiyang glanced at the three of them and transmitted his voice, "Fire Lotus, quickly save us!"
He could enter the Black Tortoise Realm himself with just a thought, but Zhao Xiaojin couldn't because he couldn't move and couldn't grab Zhao Xiaojin.
Therefore, he could only ask Fire Lotus for help.
Swish!
Just as Zhao Xiaojin's uncle and second uncle were about to attack, Fire Lotus suddenly appeared. When she saw the situation of Qin Feiyang and Zhao Xiaojin, her expression immediately changed.
Following that.
She grabbed Qin Feiyang with one hand and Zhao Xiaojin with the other and disappeared without a trace.
"Hmm?"
The two of them were stunned and immediately released their Divine Sense.
However, the City Governor didn't panic at all.
He even sat on a chair calmly.
"There's a spatial divine item!"
"Quickly seal the main hall!"
Zhao Xiaojin's uncle and second uncle quickly locked onto the Black Tortoise Realm.
"There's no need for that."
The City Governor waved his hand.
"What?"
The two of them looked at the City Governor in shock.
The City Governor waved his hand, and a golden barrier immediately appeared in the void outside the main hall.
