"That... That's not possible, right?"
As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, Chu Wanqing cried out involuntarily.
Chu Fangfei, whose eyes were watery, couldn't help but freeze on the spot, her face filled with astonishment.
"Mr. Chen, you mean..."
Not long ago.
The two of them were overjoyed that they had contacted the Hidden Clan.
After all, contacting the Hidden Clan meant that they were about to obtain the key to the ancestral land!
The Chu family's ancestral land was extremely secretive.
Even with the Lin family's power, it was almost impossible to find it.
That way, the Chu family would be able to take a breather in the ancestral land. They could hide and recuperate until the day they made a comeback.
But now, Chen Xiao was telling them that something might have happened to the Chu family's Hidden Clan!
"This is only my guess. There is no concrete evidence."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao shook his head indifferently. "An important position like the leader of the city guards must be held by the City Lord's trusted aide. But when we entered the city, Frost Dragon City allowed those people to ambush us outside the city gates..."
In just a few sentences, Chen Xiao had casually explained the confrontation that had taken place in the air.
The two women were intelligent people.
Chen Xiao had only pointed out a few things, and the two had already understood.
If the Frost Dragon City Lord was hostile to the Chu family, then the City Lord's trusted aide might be the same!
"But the Frost Dragon City Lord and the Chu family have always been on good terms."
Chu Wanqing was still in disbelief. "There is no conflict of interest between the two. Why would she want to go against the Chu family?"
Even though they were usually at loggerheads, Chu Fangfei nodded and added, "And the ambush happened outside the city gates after all. It is understandable that the Frost Dragon City Lord did not care about it."
If the Frost Dragon City Lord and the Chu family's Hidden Clan belonged to a local faction...
To the current Chu Family, it would be a devastating blow!
"You two are a little panicked."
However, Chen Xiao suddenly laughed. "There is no conflict of interest between the Chu family and the Lin family. Don't tell me that you have not thought of this possibility."
The two women's faces paled.
Everyone in the world was motivated by benefits.
If the Lin Family offered sufficient benefits, it would not be impossible for the Frost Dragon City Lord to switch sides.
"As for the ambush in front of the city, it was purely because you were unwilling to accept it, so you forcefully explained it."
Chen Xiao continued, "Think about it, if someone were to block the entrance of the Chu clan and lay down many killing traps, saying that they wanted to ambush and kill a powerful enemy … would the Chu clan easily agree to it?"
This time, the two women were completely silent, and even their bodies were trembling.
The answer was self-evident.
The gate of the Chu family was the face of the Chu family.
The gates of Frost Dragon City were also the pride of Frost Dragon City.
Under normal circumstances …
Being casually intercepted by someone at the door meant that they could easily be trampled on by others!
"If both sides stand on the side of the Lin Family …"
Chu Wanqing's voice was hoarse. A rare look of despair appeared on her pretty face.
Just the Lin Family alone was already a tremendous amount of pressure.
On top of that, the pressure from the Frost Dragon City Lord, the Chu clan, and the Hidden Clan made it difficult for the young girl to breathe. She felt as if she had reached a dead end and could not see the future.
Chu Fangfei was also shaken. The impact of this news was too great, and her face instantly turned pale.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
"If they all stand on the side of the Lin Family …"
Suddenly, Chen Xiao's voice resounded, and it broke the stagnant atmosphere, causing the delicate figures of the two women to shake in unison.
"Then we'll slaughter them all together!"
"Sir … you mean …"
The two women looked at Chen Xiao in surprise.
Chen Xiao let out a faint smile. His smile seemed to contain some sort of magical power, causing the two's agitated emotions to rapidly calm down.
"With me around, the Chu family will not perish."
Every word was spoken like thunder.
"Leave the matter of the City Lord and the Hidden Clan to me."
Then, Chen Xiao instructed softly, "What you need to do is to train harder. There might be a bloody battle when the Chu family leaves the city."
The two women agreed.
The Chu family's crisis had yet to be resolved.
If they only wanted to rely on Chen Xiao and did not work hard, then the Chu family's destruction might not be far away.
No matter how powerful Chen Xiao was, he did not belong to the Chu family.
"Apart from that, this is also good news."
At this time, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "The illness in your body and the poison in your sister's body can be removed tonight if nothing unexpected happens."
Chu Wanqing was startled, and then her face was filled with surprise.
"Is what you said true?"
"Of course."
…
Half a day passed in a flash.
When night fell …
Most of the Chu family members had recovered from their exhaustion. Under Chu Wanqing's command, they entered a state of bitter training.
Before the great battle, even a little improvement was extremely precious.
The Chu family members had no right to waste time.
"It's about time."
At the same time.
Chen Xiao opened his eyes. The medicine furnace in front of him was gradually extinguished.
There was no strange phenomenon, only a faint medicinal fragrance. A black medicinal liquid dripped down and was contained in a container.
Not far away, Chu Wanqing stood there uneasily, her face filled with anxiety.
Beside her, there was a white jade bed. Chu Yueqi was lying on it, her face like it was on fire.
Even with Chen Xiao's help, the blood fire poison in her body was still at a critical juncture.
"Don't be nervous. First remove the poison from your sister, then I will treat your illness."
Seeing Chu Wanqing like this, Chen Xiao could not help but smile. "With me here, there won't be any accidents."
Only then did Chu Wanqing feel slightly relieved and lightly nodded.
With that, Chen Xiao's divine sense swept over and enveloped Chu Yueqi again.
All of Chu Yueqi's physiological changes were instantly under his control.
"Let's begin."
As the words left his mouth, Chen Xiao flicked his fingers and an invisible force lifted Chu Yueqi's body into the air.
Then, he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion.
Several jade bottles flew up with medicinal liquid trickling about. It was like the divine water of an immortal spring, suffused with a dazzling luster as it flowed and interweaved in the air.
Gradually, Chu Wanqing, who was watching from the side, revealed a sincere expression of shock.
"He's … he's … using medicinal liquid to set up an array?!"
Her body swayed, her expression dull.
This was a fantasy. Even if she told others, she would be treated as a joke!
Perhaps there was a connection between different occupations.
However, the difference between alchemy and arrays was too great. As for using medicinal liquid to set up an array, it was impossible!
And yet …
The impossible was happening right in front of her!
As Chen Xiao's speed became faster and faster, the shock on Chu Wanqing's face also became more intense.
…
At the same time.
Over ten figures with shocking auras appeared outside the Celestial Dragon Residence.
The person in front was wearing an azure robe. His expression was calm as he spoke loudly.
"Where is Chen Xiao? Fu Zhenghuo has come to visit. "
