"Using power and violence to suppress people will make them afraid for a while, but it won't last for long," Hong Hua said slowly.
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment before he nodded and said, "I understand. Since that's the case, then I'll let them roam freely for a few more days."
"Mm, now that you've returned and brought your friends out of the Land of Exile, there won't be any problems in terms of safety. If the Pei Family still wants to deal with you, then they'll be the most powerful and direct evidence when they come knocking on your door." Hong Hua chuckled.
Xiao Chen immediately understood Hong Hua's meaning.
He was waiting for the Pei Family to take the bait.
"However, I reckon that the Pei Family won't be too brazen, right?" Xiao Chen said.
"The Pei Family's ancestor immediately went into seclusion again after coming out of seclusion. He hasn't come out again until now, but many places in Dingnan City have been occupied by the Pei Family. The person who framed you, Pei Yuanqing, is also deeply favored by the Pei Family's ancestor. His power is not small now, so if he finds out that you haven't been sent to the Land of Exile, he will definitely make a move against you again. This is an opportunity, "Hong Hua said.
"Lord Hong Hua, do you mean for me to appear openly in Dingnan City?" Xiao Chen asked.
He had thought that Hong Hua wanted him to temporarily endure and secretly lure the Pei Family into taking the bait.
"Yes, appear openly in Dingnan City and see how Pei Yuanqing will react. I have my own arrangements for everything else! "Hong Hua nodded.
"That's fine too." Xiao Chen thought about it, but he didn't have a better plan, so he could only do as Hong Hua said.
As for Pei Jie, Hong Hua's method of dealing with him was also very simple. He had Yunsheng tell the Pei Family that Pei Jie had suddenly realized something when he had gone to interrogate Xiao Chen with him, so he had gone into seclusion.
After that, Xiao Chen swaggered around Dingnan City without a care in the world.
This instantly attracted the attention of all the powers.
Hong Hua also contacted other people and made an announcement to Dingnan City.
In an extremely luxurious courtyard, Pei Yuanqing's expression was very ugly. "What happened to Xiao Chen? Wasn't he sent to the Land of Exile? Why are you here? "
A few members of the Pei family beside him immediately said fearfully, "Young master, we don't know either. Pei Jie and Yun Sheng went to send Xiao Chen to the Land of Exile, but Pei Jie suddenly had an epiphany and went into closed-door training. We don't know why the kid stayed here instead of going to the Land of Exile."
"Hehe, I'm afraid that Pei Jie suddenly went into seclusion. That fellow, Yun Sheng, did not send Xiao Chen to the Land of Exile at all." A cold glint flashed in Pei Yuanqing's eyes.
"Those old farts, relying on their little bit of influence, they managed to save the lives of Xiao Chen's companions back then. Now, they're ignoring the verdict and keeping Xiao Chen here. How dare they!"
"What should we do now, young master?" a few of the Pei Family's subordinates asked cautiously.
"Find an opportunity to kill him!" Pei Yuanqing's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Kill him?" The subordinates were stunned.
"Didn't you hear what Hong Hua and the other old bastards said? Xiao Chen has returned, and there is something fishy about the verdict. I'm afraid that there must be some misunderstanding. We need to investigate again! "Pei Yuanqing snorted angrily.
"Those old bastards really know how to talk. They only said that there was a misunderstanding, but they didn't directly accuse us of being at fault. They just emphasized that Xiao Chen is temporarily innocent! Furthermore, he has obtained everyone's approval. It won't be easy to convict him by force. We can only find an opportunity to kill him in secret. As long as we kill him, won't the rest be up to us? "someone asked worriedly.
"Young master, Xiao Chen disappeared in No Man's Land. It's very strange that he suddenly returned after so many years. Furthermore, this kid clearly doesn't have any background, yet Hong Hua and the others are so protective. It's hard to say if there aren't any other secrets. Should we investigate thoroughly before making a move?" someone asked worriedly.
"I told you to do it, so do it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Pei Yuanqing glared at the person. The latter didn't dare to say anything else and quickly excused himself.
"Xiao Chen, you really are an unkillable cockroach. I have really put in a lot of effort for an insignificant person like you. It would have been better if you hadn't returned. Since you have returned, only death awaits you! "Pei Yuanqing's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Xiao Chen somewhat admired Hong Hua's methods and arrangements.
This was because after he had acted according to Hong Hua's plan, Pei Yuanqing didn't forcibly accuse him of any crimes.
Furthermore, he didn't say anything about it. However, Xiao Chen knew that with Pei Yuanqing's temperament, he would definitely make a move in secret.
As for the other spectators in Dingnan City, the matter between Xiao Chen and Pei Yuanqing wasn't actually a big deal. It was just a conflict between a few juniors.
However, Xiao Chen had suddenly disappeared, Pei Yuanqing had suddenly made a move, and Hong Hua and the other big shots of Dingnan City had inexplicably tried to protect him. This had attracted the attention of all the powers in Dingnan City.
They had originally thought that this matter had long since passed with the verdict. However, they hadn't expected that Xiao Chen would suddenly return and Hong Hua and the others would also show that they wanted to pursue the matter. This had once again drawn the attention of all the powers in Dingnan City.
There were even some who were secretly speculating that this was no longer just a personal matter between Xiao Chen and Pei Yuanqing. It had become the spark between Hong Hua and the other elders of Dingnan City and the Pei family.
After all, the Pei Family's ancestor had suddenly broken through and then forcefully entered Dingnan City. This had greatly affected Hong Hua and the others. They definitely wanted to use the matter of Xiao Chen to wrestle with the Pei Family's ancestor.
Xiao Chen didn't care about what these people thought. He went straight to find Mo Qing.
Another reason he had been able to protect the lives of Da Huang and the others after he had disappeared was because of Mo Qing's existence and the power behind him.
This was because Mo Qing had also been present when Pei Yuanqing and Si Marui had joined forces with the Shang Clan to deal with them.
Pei Yuanqing had originally planned to send Mo Qing to the Land of Exile. However, the Divine Lotus Race behind Mo Qing didn't do as he wished.
Coupled with the protection of Hong Hua and the others, they had ultimately succeeded in protecting Mo Qing. Although the Pei Family's ancestor had become one of the big shots in Dingnan City after his breakthrough, he hadn't lost his mind and offended so many powerful ancient powers in Dingnan City.
Even though he had paid a huge price!
In the end, he had still managed to protect Mo Qing and allow him to remain in Dingnan City to cultivate.
When Xiao Chen arrived, Mo Qing's condition was as good as he remembered.
He didn't seem to have been affected by these matters.
