A few days ago.
Chu Wanqing had contacted the hidden race, agreeing to meet at this flower pavilion in the south of the city today.
Still, when that moment arrived …
The young girl could not help but feel uneasy.
"Mister, if the hidden race really betrays us …" Chu Wanqing hesitated.
The Lord of Frost Dragon City had defected, and the Chu family's hidden race had betrayed them.
Not even Chu Yuanfeng could have predicted such a terrible situation.
Over the past few days.
Apart from Chen Xiao and Yan Di, anyone of the Chu family who approached the city gates would be closely monitored.
This meant that the Lord of Frost Dragon City had not given up, instead weaving a huge net to catch everyone in one fell swoop!
Still, the Chu family's hidden race was still part of the Chu family's bloodline.
The two had an inseparable blood relationship.
"If they really betray us, their deaths will naturally not be regretted."
Chen Xiao's gaze was calm as he said mildly, "Now is a matter of life and death. You are still worried about blood relations, while the other side is pondering how to take your lives."
"… I understand."
After a long time, Chu Wanqing's voice trembled, her gaze completely resolute.
This concerned the survival of the family. Any hesitation on her part could lead to a calamity!
The two slowly walked towards the south of the city. Along the way, two more figures caught up to them.
"The three imperial concubines will guard the Immortal Dragon Residence. I will follow Young Master," Little Apothecary Lord said softly.
"Are the people from the Lin family coming?"
Yan Di stroked his sabre, a fierce light flickering in his eyes.
As they passed by the Black Fragrance Medicine Pavilion, a red-clothed young girl suddenly appeared, bringing a message from Pavilion Lord Mo Dong.
Mo Dong's image was projected in mid-air through a miniature optical computer.
"Mister's journey will be fraught with danger. If you join the Black Fragrance Medicine Pavilion, your safety will be guaranteed."
"Can you protect the Chu family?" Chen Xiao asked, smiling.
"Mister must be joking. The Chu family is weak, and the Lin family is exterminating them. Even the Medicine Pavilion is powerless to change this."
Mo Dong immediately shook her head, then said, "Mister's cultivation base and talent are rare. If you join the Medicine Pavilion, it will definitely be a match made in heaven. I hope that you will consider it well and not waste your talent."
Chen Xiao's smile instantly became even wider.
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't."
"Little friend Chen, it's important to know your place."
Seeing how ruthless Chen Xiao was, Mo Dong's expression suddenly turned cold. Even the way he addressed Chen Xiao changed.
"Not only does the Lin Clan want to deal with you, but even Frost Dragon City Lord wants to kill you. Even Little Master Apothecary wants to harm you …"
"Excuse me."
Before he could finish his words, a voice suddenly sounded.
Dressed in green, Junior Apothecary Master walked out from behind Chen Xiao and said calmly, "Pavilion Master Mo, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. My loyalty to the Young Lord can be witnessed by the heavens, the earth, the sun, and the moon. When have I ever thought of harming the Young Lord? "
Since it was confirmed that Chen Xiao was the Holy Envoy of the Glory Sect …
Therefore, the appropriate display of attitude was especially important at this time.
Therefore, when he heard Mo Dong's slander, the Little Master Apothecary immediately jumped out.
"Fu Zhenghuo, how dare you?!"
On the screen, Mo Dong's expression suddenly changed.
Even Hong Yi, who was holding the optical computer, was dumbfounded and almost smashed it to the ground.
"Sir, Little Master Apothecary?!"
The middle-aged man in green before them was none other than the Little Master Apothecary.
However, the Little Master Apothecary's disciple clearly had a feud with Chen Xiao, so why would he follow Chen Xiao and even address Chen Xiao as Young Lord?
In their opinion …
Even if the Little Master Apothecary had a good temper, it would be fine if he did not cause trouble for Chen Xiao.
On the other hand, becoming Chen Xiao's follower was a complete fantasy!
"Pavilion Master Mo, I'll say it again."
The Little Master Apothecary's expression was solemn and his voice was deep, emitting a natural aura.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. The Young Lord's background is not something you can imagine."
He paused and glanced at Mo Dong, who had an ugly expression on his face, and said meaningfully, "At this time, remaining neutral will only invite disaster. I hope the Ink Fragrance Medicine Pavilion can make the right choice."
Mo Dong was speechless.
After Chen Xiao left, the Pavilion Master finally narrowed his eyes.
"The right choice? Hmph! The Ink Fragrance Medicine Pavilion has stood for so many years because of its neutrality! Furthermore, you have no idea what kind of death trap is waiting for you! "
…
Frost Dragon City covered a large area.
However, Chen Xiao's pace was also extremely fast, and he soon left the south gate of Frost Dragon City.
The snow on the main road had been swept to the side, revealing the bluestone brick road.
The traces left behind by the battle half a month ago had long been erased by time.
Occasionally, travelers would pass by and cast curious glances at the group of Chen Xiao and the others.
"Sir, this is the flower pavilion in front."
Not long after, Chu Wanqing spoke softly.
Not far away, a simple and unadorned pavilion stood.
Around it, there were colorful flowers blooming like the radiance of spring. It was like a different world from the outside world, which was wrapped in silver and white.
Hence, it was named —
This flower pavilion.
"Miss Chu, you're finally here."
There were not many people in the pavilion, only four or five in total.
At this time, a woman stood up and smiled at Chu Wanqing.
However, when she saw Chen Xiao and the others, the smile on her face quickly turned cold.
"Miss Chu, these people don't seem to be from the Chu family?"
The middle-aged woman's voice was deep and harsh. "Chu First Miss brought an outsider here at such a crucial moment. What are you up to?"
Hearing this, Chu Wanqing's expression darkened.
Although she had been prepared that the matter of the hidden clan might go out of control, she did not expect that the other party would want to show her who she was!
This kind of attitude was just short of directly turning hostile.
"Madam Chu Fengquan, these people are all distinguished guests of the Chu family. I can guarantee with my integrity that they will not leak the secret."
The surname Chu was the surname of the hidden clan of the Chu family.
And Chu Fengquan was also considered a celebrity in Frost Dragon City.
As the 'key' was still in the hands of the Chu family, no matter how dissatisfied she was, Chu Wanqing could only smile.
"Guarantee with my integrity? You're just a little girl. How much is your integrity worth? "
Unexpectedly, these words did not satisfy Chu Fengquan. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and sneered. "If something happens, what use is your integrity?"
"Madam Chu Fengquan …" Chu Wanqing still wanted to explain.
"Say no more! You brought outsiders to this kind of occasion. I don't think you have any sincerity at all! "
Chu Fengquan put her hands on her hips and sneered. Her thin lips curled into a mocking smile. "Either these people leave, or we will never see each other again! I hope Miss Chu understands that it is our clan that needs us now, not the other way around! "
Chu Wanqing's expression became even uglier.
"Since outsiders can't come, then who are they?"
At this time, Chen Xiao said lightly and pointed to the pavilion.
"Since when did the Lin family become a part of the Chu family?"
